Speaking after the win against Tanzania, Ogbu told Completesports.com that the focus on the game against Tunisia is the three points.
“Winning, there is nothing more than winning because that’s the most important thing for us.”
The defender expressed his delight that the Super Eagles picked the three points against the Taifa Stars.
“The guys played great and I’m happy that we did good so I’m really happy.”
On not getting the opportunity to play against Tanzania, he added:”Every player that is here is here because he wants to play good, we are here as Nigerians, everybody on the pitch is fighting if I get my opportunity I will do the same, fight for Nigeria always.”

Nigeria must be very careful with Tunisia. Tunisia players are experts in pretending. Any small touch they react as if you have killed them for referee to book you. And if the referee is bias you have open door to red card.
If you watch Tunisia first match you would see the trick. To them it’s part of football.
