Super Eagles defender Igho Ogbu is confident that Nigeria can break their winless streak against Rwanda in Kigali.
Nigeria has failed to secure a victory in three previous attempts, but Ogbu believes they can turn things around when it matters most.

“I think we can do it,” he told Ojb Sports.
“We just have to work hard in training and everything will be good on matchday.”
The stakes have never been higher, and under the guidance of new boss Eric Chelle, the mandate for victory is clear.
Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying campaign is hanging in the balance, with the team sitting fifth in Group C after failing to win any of their four qualifying games so far.
A defeat against Rwanda could be disastrous, making qualification for the 2026 World Cup even more challenging.
The Super Eagles must avoid defeat at the barest minimum to keep their qualification hopes alive.
