“First of all, I am not coming as a messiah, I am not coming
as man who knows it all, I am not coming as someone who can singlehandedly just
turn Nigeria into Germany but I am coming as a man who has come to serve his
country and ready to give a 150% even more and that is why I brought an
expatriate, Lusciuto who is ready to work and without the attitude of better
than thou in him. He is an expatriate who knows Africa and hungry for victory.

We need Salisu because he knows the league in and out
because our aim is also to work with home based players. We need Aloy Agu
because when you are talking about calmness and someone who can also channel
the goalkeepers and also give tactical and technical advises to the coaches he
is also one of them and that is why we are what we are.

“The state we are now in Nigeria I think we are all not very
happy with it, we say it as it is, but I must be very blunt because I am among
my countrymen so let us call a spade a spade. Gone are the days when we had
individual players who can win matches for us out of their own individual
efforts and that is what we had during my generation and the way out is this;
if you don’t have great players, you need a great technical coaching crew and a
great national federation to compensate for what you don’t have as regards
these great players. But we have potentials even to be the best in the world,
that is what I honestly believe and that is what my coaching crew also believe.
