Former Nigerian international, Tijani Babangida believes the Super Eagles will be a big threat to their opponents at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
He made this known on the backdrop of the team’s impressive 6-0 bashing of Sao Tome on Sunday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
Recall that Nigeria topped group A with 15 points followed by Guinea-Bissau, who had 13 points.
However, in a chat with Completesports.com, Babangida stated that the crop of players in the Super Eagles coach can defeat any opponent at the tournament.

He noted that the team is still shaping up and will be a force to reckon with in Ivory Coast.
“I want to believe the best is yet to come from the Super Eagles considering the quality of players in Jose Peseiro’s disposal. Yes, we defeated Sao Tome 6-0 but I still believe the team is still shaping up and will be a force to reckon with at the 2023 AFCON.
“With the caliber of players that we have at the moment, the team just need the right mentality and understanding to be a tough nut to crack in Ivory Coast.”

Abeg talk too much, let them build sporting home for our players, like St. George Park in England, well funded and maintain, no be say we go dey use eko hotel as training group.
Make them build place where players will feel relax, and think of pitch only.
Captin Babanjida let Super Eagles buildup thier team quietly without any disturbance; any annoyance will press the team then will lead to bad results, flopping; so I recommend anybody that he must not talk about SE situation and thier position in the next CAF tournement in Cote De’Ivore 2024 or next World Cup 2026 qualifiers, this will cause a big pressure on SE then it will realize a negative results.
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE PLAYING FRIENDLY MATCHES IN PREPARING FOR 2024 AFCON, NIGERIA SIT DOWN STILL TALKING ABOUT SAO TOME MATCH. AND LATER, THEY WILL BE DREAMING OF WINNING AFCON WITHOUT ADEQUATE PREPARATION.
Till they play with cameroun, Ghana, Ivory coast, Senegal, Egypt etc , then we can comment
