Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has sent a strong warning to the Super Eagles’ coach and technical crew ahead of Nigeria’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Benin Republic.
In a Facebook message, the cleric cautioned that poor player selection and favoritism could jeopardize Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup. He expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the national team, lamenting what he described as weak technical direction, indiscipline, and lack of structure under the current management.
“This coach, with the way he is handling things, is about to destroy Nigeria’s hope,” Ayodele declared, stressing that favoritism and technical errors are weakening the team. He warned that if certain players are included in the lineup, the Super Eagles’ campaign could end in disappointment.
According to the prophet, three specific players should be dropped from the squad to avoid failure. “I have said it before three players must not play in this match. If they do, the Super Eagles will fail,” he stated, emphasizing that their inclusion would lead to frustration for both the team and the nation.
Ayodele advised the coaching staff to approach the Benin Republic encounter with seriousness and tactical discipline. He noted that victory would only come through hard work, focus, and effective strategy. “To win Benin Republic, you must work very hard,” he urged.
He also criticized the poor attitude of some players, accusing them of lacking the passion and determination required at international level. “Those three players are not serious; they are not ready to fight for victory,” Ayodele added.
The cleric called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to ensure that merit and performance, not favoritism, guide player selection. He concluded that only discipline, unity, and genuine commitment can restore confidence in Nigerian football and secure the country’s qualification for the World Cup. See, More, Here>>>>
