Nigeria internationals Odion
Ighalo and Ogenyi Onazie have both declared that the AFCON 2017 ticket
was still within the reach of the Super Eagles.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles are second in their qualifying group, two points behind leaders Egypt after two rounds of matches and both countries will clash home and away in March, 2016.
Watford striker Ighalo, who is among the 24 players called up by Sunday Oliseh for friendly matches against Cameroon and Congo, has admitted it’s a tight situation but insisted the Eagles still have their destiny in their hands.
“The AFCON 2017 ticket is within our reach, this is football never say never. We still have to play the group leaders Egypt home and away, those matches are of great importance to our ambition,” he said.
