In a chat with Completesports.com, Lawal advised Chelle to invite players who are ready to sacrifice their legs for the team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
“The Super Eagles head coach must make the right decision at this stage by inviting players who are prepared to give their utmost effort to help Nigeria qualify for the 2026 World Cup.”
“There is no room for errors. He must invite players that understand the task at hand because they must not jeopardize the second chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
“Gabon are a good team, but the Super Eagles remain the best.”

Eric Chelle please invite David Moses,Ebenezer Akinsanmiro,Tochukwu Nnadi and Raphael Onyedika to boost our midfield
Tochukwu Nnadi na baller a beg. Heaven bless him.
He for invite the worst legs before na.
Thank God you guys are not the Coach mind you Tochukwu Nnadi has played 12 games with ZERO Assists and ZERO Goals to his name, Why in the Great Wall of China should Chelle invite such a player for a do or die affair? Please tell me even this guy from Pisa yeah okay he can make the bench, I don’t even want to talk about david Moses, he has played 0 games in Checzh League and only 1 UCL match, We have alot more fitter midfielders than that.
I ask myself do you people commenting realise that 1 mistake and Nigeria is out of World Cup? What madness!!!!
