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.

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.

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.

People don't have to believe in you for you to succeed. Just work hard, when you succeed, they will believe.

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.

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!
