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.

If you lose, it's the coach's fault and if you win, the players are credible, they are indispensable, so whatever happens it's going to be the coach.

Our audacity to rise from our losses makes Nigeria the number one footballing nation in Africa!

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.

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.

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.

Who are we to ask God if it is his will.
