Former Nigerian goalkeeper, Andrew Aikhoumogbe has advised the Super Eagles not to underestimate teams that has been grouped alongside Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers
Recall that the three-time AFCON champions are in Group A and will begin their quest against Sierra Leone later this year.
However, in an interview with Completesports.com, Aikhoumogbe from his base in Cairo, Egypt, stated that their are no minnows as far as Africa football is concern.
He warned the Super Eagles not to underrate the trio of Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Sao Tome if they are to qualify for the biennial tournament slated for Cote d’Ivoire.
“I must confess that the Super Eagles have been pitted in a group that they should easily qualify from.
” But then, football is not mathematics where you can easily predict teams that will win. However, the Super Eagles must work very hard and never underestimate their opponents if they are to qualify for the 2023 AFCON.
“Sao Tome, Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone will be tough knot to crack for Nigeria regardless of the players in our disposal. Every team wants to prove a point and we have seen what Guunea Bissau and Sierra Leone can do at the last 2021 AFCON.

Shut up! Ghana is and shall always be superior to Nigeria. Tell Suarez that there’s VAR at this year’s World Cup!
Hehehe!
But why are you mad bro? Scared of your BFF Luis Suarez?
Loooool!
Luis Suarez is a very nice guy.
Just ask him for a selfie, and he will oblige.
Loooool!
Ghana will fail woefully!!!
IF THEY LIKE THEY BE SHOULD SERIOUS. IT IS THEIR CAREER THAT WILL SUFFER FOR IT AND HAVE NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF AND BOAST OF IN FUTURE. NOTHING TO SHOW UP/ POINT TO
** OLISEH, OKOCHA, KANU, AMOKACHI, YEKINI IT IS WHAT THEY ACHIEVE WITH NATIONAL TEAM MAKES PEOPLE TO BE TALKING ABOUT THEM.
*** AIYEGBENI,AGALI,OLOFINJANA,FADED OFF IN PEOPLE’S MEMORY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF/SHOW-UP IN NATIONAL TEAM.
You called Manson or bason Nigeria is higher ranking than your Black jars not stars which knocked out from 24 round of Afcon. in Cameroon 2022; Nigrria riched 5 in FIFA ranking in 1994; Ghana was lower and lower; Nigeria have won Afcon. 2013 i South Africa, but Ghana have not won a cup since 1982. Nigeria have strong quality of strikers but Ghana haven’t; Nigeria in more than Afcon. championships have earned third grade; but Ghana always knock out from lower stage; so Ghana have lower standard than Nigeria.
Nigeria population is over 200 million, Ghana population is around 31 million so definitely your soccer players will exceed that of Ghana. Yet still Ghana whip you 7-0 all before, Ghana have many AFCON trophies than Nigeria,and have been runners up five times. Ghana recently knocked Nigeria out of the World Cup qualifies
First round, 3 loses. 0-4, 0-3, 1-3. Go home, take a shower and shut up. We’ll be waiting for you at Afcon 2023. Be prepared. It’s going to be bloody.
@Top it, that is bad. What Ghana did to Nigeria was bad. However, what men can not do, women can do far better. Ghana’s men stopped Nigeria from going to the world cup. But, wait for it, bitch, Nigeria’s women stopped Ghana from qualifying for two tournaments, Afcon and world cup.
You want to agree with me that missing two tournaments is far worse than missing just one tournament?
Let’s talk about the Women’s Afcon shall we? Nigerian women have won it 11 times and Ghana’s fat women, how many times? A BIG FAT ZEEROOOOO!!! LOLZZZZ LOLZZZZ ZA ZA ZA ZA
So, before coming here to run your filthy mouth like a bitch would, remember this, sucker, Ghana’s women will never catch up with the number of Wafcons that Nigerian women have won in your lifetime.
Have fun in Qatar, we will have fun in Morocco and Australia/New Zealand with our beautiful ladies who know how to drop it like it’s hot. Lolzzzz.
Our women will always make the population numerical advantage count.
Hahahahaha guess who’s laughing now, Biatch!!!!
Let your contribution be devoid of incendiary language. Be very civil anytime you want to carry a message accross. Using industrial language is so pathetic. Didn’t know my comment will cut you so deep
Guys Suarez is old now, Uruguay is not beating Ghana. Unlike our National team Ghana plays with passion and determination, precise the yeye Uruguay team is old. I’m willing to bet anybody here now in advance,Uruguay will not beat Ghana in Qatar
Hmmm…I pray o!
Uruguay last 5 Matches…
Bolivia (3-0) Away Lose
Paraguay (0-1) Away Win
Venezuela (4-1) Home Win
Peru (1-0) Home Win
Chile (0-2) Away Win
So..it’s LWWWW for them and their only loss was in 2021 and they were 3rd behind Brazil and Argentina on World Cup qualifying table.. Hope you are really sure of that your prediction ?
I am rooting for everyone that Ghana and Cameroon are playing against. I absolutely detest those two countries. Zero class from both of them. I am rooting all the way for the Lions of Teranga and the Atlas Lions of Morocco. Could care less about Tunisia. They never do anything anyway.
Suarez is old, true. But he knows that this is likely his last world cup, and as a disciplined professional, he will prepare for it. When the match day comes around, a FIT, HUNGRY, DETERMINED Luis Suarez will be available for selection for Uruguay. Unless he’s injured.
The same can be said of Edinson Cavani and Christian Stuani, who like Suarez, are also 35 yrs of age.
If CR7 at 37 yrs can be painting the Premier league red with goals, I think Suarez, Cavani and Stuani are not too old to do some damage for La Celeste in Qatar.
Besides, Uruguay have other young guns like Maxi Gomez of Valencia who is 25, Darwin Nunez of Benfica who is 22, Diego Rossi of Fernabahce who is 24, among others.
A fine mix of experience and youth.
Suarez and Cavani vs Djiku and Amartey. Clash of the titans, hehehe!
Pompei, nice analysis bro, but again Ghana is not Naija, these guys are well bonded, highly motivated and well determined guys. Uruguay defense is old, kudus, kamaldeen and young Gyan will seriously trouble them, precise South American teams will be at disadvantage because of VAR.
Let’s souport the black stars to make Africa proud Is not good to wish black stars bad luck because they qualified ahead of us.
We would have supported them, but they keep coming here to boast and brag.
Because you keep talking nonsense about the black star of Africa. Pls look for a coach and qualify for the next afcon. Until then allow the big boys do the talking. You are so pained it’s affecting your brain. We don’t need the support of Nigerians. You can support your useless super chickens. I have never seen a team so overrated but this useless, channel your energies towards fixing you dead team. One defeat to ghana is causing confusion in your country. Coach and technical team sacked, piknic not contesting, indecision on a new coach, even buhari is being asked to resign…lol. fifa/caf should not pair you with ghana again otherwise your country will collapse. Useless 200m+ population. Waste of space!
That is the problem with ghanians
