Known for their strength and fearlessness, Eagles are a special breed of birds that have been a symbol of war and power since Babylonian times and little wonder Nigeria’s national team adopted the name Super Eagles.
“Truly, I believe the Eagles can fly again. Let’s forget about the FIFA rankings, Morocco may be the number one in Africa going by their current form, but we are one of the most feared national teams in the world because of the array of talents that are doing well; we have the most in-form striker in the world, talking about Victor Osimhen. In France, we also have a couple of our boys doing very well and Paul Onuachu wasn’t doing badly in Belgium before he joined Southampton.
Mutiu Adepoju, a 1994 AFCON winner, said if the Eagles, who are reportedly owed nine months of bonuses and allowances, are properly motivated by officials they would bounce back to reckoning. A keen follower of the Eagles Alex Ebhodaghe said, “The talent is not the problem but I think attitude is and I believe once the NFF and the coaching crew can get it right, the Eagles can go back to what they used to be and that is being the best in Africa.”
