In a chat with Goal, he said, "Well, this is the coach’s first game as the Super Eagles technical adviser, and this game whether inconsequential to not, is a game he would want to win to start on a good note, mind you the fans are watching to see what he has to offer the team, the players will also want to win this game to show the coach what they can offer"

"Whether Tanzania field their national U17 or not is none of our concern, the most important is that we use the game to prepare for the World Cup qualifier against Zambia, which is in a month time, and the new coach understands he has a big task on his hands. To be the best, you have to beat the best. So, Nigeria cannot expect to be in Niger Republic's group and expect to be called the best, being drawn in the same group with Zambia, Cameroon and Algeria should bring out the best in us."

Eagles tackle Tanzania on Saturday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in a match that has no bearing on the table as Egypt have already picked the sole spot to thee next AFCON. Brown Ideye, Nosa Igiebor and Odion Ighalo all scored in a 3-0 win against Akwa United in a warm up game played at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Wednesday.
