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 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.

Why would you want to bring a foreign coach? Why? If you bring a foreign coach, you might as well bring foreign players, white players to play for Nigeria. If you bring a European coach, he should also bring oyinbo (white) players. That's how it is.

Every game is very difficult, no game is easy. All games are hard, but just different. So we just have to get ourselves prepared for every particular match because of the intensity and so on.

It's always good to have your players with you, it makes you feel great. That is just it. The coach and the players understand one another but people outside don't understand. But it's good to see him, it's good to see all the players.

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