      I’ll only add few more players

      Uzoho,Akpeyi, Ezenwa, Nwolokor, Seb Osigwe(may even replace Akpeyi/nwokolor in event that only 4 is needed in provisional squad)

      Aina, Shehu, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Awaziem, Collins, Ajayi, Idowu(who by the way has regained form in the absence of tyrone)

      Ogu, Mikel, Etebo, Ndidi, Azubike, Iwobi, Bonaventure

      Musa, Simon, Onyekuru, Kalu, Chukwueze, Ighalo, Osimen, Onuachu, Kelechi Iheanacho(if uzoho is there then he more deserving of a call-up), V.moses(feelers are dat he’ll make a u-turn), Isaac Success

      Breaking: I would be in Egypt with Eagles, Mikel Obi confirms amid cheers
      By Ayo Olu Ibidapo – May 13, 2019 855
       0 Home  Africa Cup of Nations  Breaking: I would be in Egypt with Eagles, Mikel Obi confirms amid…

      Super Eagles Skipper, Mikel John Obi has affirmed he will be with the squad traveling to Egypt for the Africa Cup of nations after meeting with Coach Gernot Rohr, AOIFootball.com can report.
      There had been uncertainties surrounding Mikel’s availability for next month’s Africa showpiece after the mercurial midfielder did not feature in any of the Super Eagles qualifying matches which made Coach Gernot Rohr visit the player in England to clarify issues.

      Mikel, however, told AOIFootball.com exclusively that he had a private meeting with the Franco-German and has decided to feature at the continent’s biggest soccer fiesta when it kicks off in Egypt next month.
      “I met with Coach Rohr and we discussed his plans for the team in the forthcoming tournament. All I can say is that I am delighted and happy because I am coming to the Nations Cup” Mikel Obi revealed.

      The 32-year- old midfield maestro, who has been a glorious arrival for Middlesbrough since he left the Chinese Super League in January, has provided a strong and impressive display this term and is eagerly ready to feature in the Premier League again.
      Mikel made his international debut in 2005 and now has 85 caps for the Super Eagles, scoring 6 goals in total. His appearance for the Super Eagles in Egypt could, however, be the last for the Nigerian superstar who could retire internationally after the tournament.

        I doubt he will call it a day after Egypt.He still has the football,the energy to carry on with the team.As long as he is physically fit and playing actively in the premiership,i do not see him retiring from the national team.

      I am so excited to hear this because leaving Mikel out of the team is like taking head out of the body. Now, Mikel is back. The team can do without Mikel but a leader always a leader. God bless Nigeria!!!

      Joel Obi will lead Super Eagles midfield according to reliable sources.

      I will be invited to join the Afcon squad, Joel Obi confirms from Turkey
      By Charles Enikanlomo – May 11, 2019 895
       0 Home  Africa Cup of Nations  Breaking: From his base in Turkey, Joel Obi Obi has claimed that he expects to be invited to the Super Eagles for the Africa Cup of Nations to Replace John Obi Mikel who will play no further part in the team’s schedule moving forward.

      Speaking to akamunews.com, the midfielder said:’I am going to the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt where I will be expected to play all our matches and lead the nation to glory in a unprecedented manner.’

      About now playing in Turkey, Obi said: ‘so what is wrong with it? Believe me when I tell you, Turkish league is more tedious than Italian league, which I might add is greatly overrated.’

      About what to expect in Egypt, Obi said :’you ain’t seen nothing yet! By the time I lace my boots and step to the pitch, the earth will tremble, the sky will fall.’

      About whether Nigeria will win the Africa Cup of Nations, Obi said ” ‘Gbam! I thought you’d never ask! We will win it with a game to spare (to the interviewer, Obi said) ‘close your mouth or else flies will enter.’

      ‘If you want to find out how to win a tournament with a game to spare, just wait. By the time we demolish all the teams leading to and including the semi finals, the team we face in the final will just give up without kicking a ball (Gbam)! ‘
