“They should bear in mind the recent happenings between us and Ghana. They are the reason we did not attend the last CHAN and international tournaments. They have been a thorn in our flesh The Black Stars denied. us the World Cup qualification for Qatar 2022 and eliminated the Super Eagles B from previous editions in 2009, 2014, and 2023. I believe with determination, concentration and the never-say-die Nigerian spirit in our boys, the Super Eagles B will make us proud today. I wish them all the best.”
