Troost-Ekong Confident Super Eagles Can Win Against Rwanda
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has shared that new head coach Eric Chelle has provided the team with clear guidance ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
Speaking to NFF TV, Troost-Ekong gave an update on how the team is preparing for the crucial match against Rwanda on Friday.
“He [Eric Chelle] has given us a lot of instructions. Our focus now is to understand exactly what he expects from us on Friday and work toward delivering it,” Troost-Ekong said.
He also acknowledged the pressure on the team but remains confident they can handle it. “These are the key moments where we need to step up, but none of us is afraid of that. Like I said, this pressure is a privilege for all of us,” he added.
The Super Eagles have struggled against Rwanda recently, failing to win their last two encounters.
Currently, Nigeria sits in fifth place in the World Cup Group C qualifying table with just three points from four matches. They are behind Rwanda, South Africa, Benin Reputhe bloc, and Lesotho, and are still searching for their first win in the group.
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
