Uyo, Akwa Ibom State – E be like say the Super Eagles don open their camp on this fine Monday, ready to face the Rwandan Amavubi as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Nigeria dey prepare to clash with Rwanda for Saturday, September 6, before dem go face daunting Bafana Bafana three days later. Na wah, football time no dey carry last!
As we speak, the Super Eagles dey fourth for their Group C with just seven points from six matches – six points behind South Africa wey dey hold the group like person own am. Coach Eric Chelle don name im final 23-man squad, but wetin we go do now? Victor Boniface dey missing in action (the guy dey chop, no be say he sabi jagaband), while big names like captain William Troost-Ekong and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali dey here to carry us go to victory!
According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Rwanda team go land for Lagos by Tuesday afternoon, before dem connect flight to Uyo. Na one person go come first on Monday to check the ground, but the full crew go land around 1:15 PM fly from Rwanda – hope say dem no go land like stranded swimmers. Once dem land, dem go head straight to Uyo.
For this match-day seven, e go critical for both teams as dis na make or break moment – and we talk am well! Why? Because South Africa dey parade like dem na the owners of the table, with 13 points. Rwanda dey second with eight points, alongside Benin, while Nigeria dey manage the fourth spot with seven points. E be like say we need miracle to level up but no shaking, our boys dey ready!
Lesotho sit down with six points while Zimbabwe dey greeze for bottom of the table with four points. Meanwhile, as the Amavubi go match Zimbabwe on match-day eight, the Super Eagles dey set to fly go Bloemfontein to meet the top dogs, South Africa. After this mouth-watering fixture, our last two matches dey against Lesotho and the Benin Republic. So, wetin we go do? We go need prayer and ginger to survive!
As for my guy Abiodun wey dey run sport reporting for PUNCH, him don dey on top this mata for six years now, so we go surely hear the gist proper. No dulling!
With all these twists and turns, no forget say victory against Rwanda na must if we wan regain our lost glory. And who sabi, maybe dem go come bring the spirit of victory say Victor Osimhen fit score two goals like him do last time wey dem clash for Kigali. Nothing dey impossible with our Super Eagles!
