2018 World Cup Qualifier: We Are Very Keen To Finish What We Started – Super Eagles Captain Mikel Obi

Former Chelsea midfielder and skipper of the Super Eagles Mikel John Obi, was in buoyant spirit as the Super Eagles arrived in Yaounde on Sunday afternoon for Monday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.“We are just very keen to finish what we started. We started a job in Uyo and it is time to finish it. If we can pick the World Cup ticket by Monday, why wait any longer? We are all very confident, because we know our ability and what we are ready to bring to the party.”Nigeria achieved her highest win ever over Cameroon with the massive thumping of the Lions on Friday, and Mikel is aware the wounded Lions will want to salvage some pride.“We are as hungry, perhaps even more hungry than they are. It will be a tough affair but we will give our very best to take the three points.” Nigeria could become the first African team to earn a slot in Russia as early as Tuesday if they defeat the Cameroonians on Monday in Yaounde and Zambia fail to beat Algeria at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in Blida on Tuesday.Photo Credit: Getty
