Victor Osimhen has compared the Super Eagles’ final five 2026 World Cup qualifying matches to a “war” that needs to be waged and prevailed in.
Nigeria easily defeated Rwanda on Friday thanks to two goals from Osimhen, reviving their struggling World Cup qualifying campaign.
“We are ready. The remaining matches are wars and we must fight them with all that we have to win,” vowed the striker, who has now scored 25 international goals.
William Ekong, captain of the Super Eagles, stated that the team has bounced back from a challenging start and is eager to make it to the World Cup.
“We read somewhere that the Zimbabweans are being motivated to come to Uyo and get a result. They should forget it.
“We are hugely motivated by the ambition to play at the FIFA World Cup.
“Apart from myself and Alex Iwobi and perhaps a couple others, who were part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, this generation is hungry to play at the highest level.
“We want to make Nigeria proud and at the same time, do ourselves proud.”
