“Nigerians are always eager to hear that we have talents, but we have to build our youth with the knowledge that what is good today may be outdated tomorrow. But like I keep on telling you it is our responsibility to see how we can improve. We should not just depend on the fact that we have talents, of course, talent is been given by God, but there are a lots of things that makes the talent to gel. These are the areas we have to emphase on. So that when these guys grow they will learn to fight.
“We don’t want to have people like when they get to the Super Eagles they won’t live up to their billings, like what we are seeing today. You then see players that are not putting enough efforts. They must improve, they must work and they must know that the road to success is always under construction. We came to do the best we can, and with hard work on our side we will definitely achieve our goals and objectives.
