“I think we see each other as brothers. We are always looking after each other on and off the pitch. This helps us also on the pitch, especially in matches. We never give up.

“Hopefully it will also pay off on the pitch,” noted the former Golden Eaglets star, who stressed that the team didn’t panic after going a goal down during Nigeria’s 2-4 away victory to Lesotho in Maseru.
