I remember when Samuel Okwaraji died on the field, I was mute and I didn't even know what I was doing or what I was saying.

Mfon Udoh is a good player and I've had him before I know the quality he has. And I believe this is a lesson that everything is all about time, that everybody's time will come and if you're doing well your time will surely come.

I want to work for Nigeria, my blood is here. I captained this team for 14 years, and it is my country. But you people think if there is no Super Eagles we won't exist. I came from another country to coach the Super Eagles so don't think if we don't win my career is over, no. It's just starting.

Senzo Meyiwa was just a young kid and was already becoming one of the best goalkeepers in Africa.

It's not going to determine whether I will remain with Nigeria or not. I don't have a contract and I'm not depending on this match to give me a contract. So please don't think I will die in the Nigeria job.

I heard the South African 'keeper had been killed and I thought it was probably one of their former goalkeepers, but when I confirmed it was Senzo Meyiwa, I was shattered.

I felt sorry for Senzo Meyiwa family and for the people of South Africa because it's a shame we lost such a huge talent. In all the games he had played I think he didn't concede any goal.
