A couple of Super Eagles players have reacted to the African 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification draw that pitted Nigeria in Group B alongside African powerhouses Algeria and Cameroon plus Zambia.

The players have stated in unison that they are confident of picking the sole ticket ahead of their rivals.

Lazio midfielder Onazi told thenff.com : “This is not a bad draw. I believe the Super Eagles are equal to the task. All we need to do now is to start planning from this very moment.

“We have to get our coach in place and give him, whether white or black, a very conducive environment to work.

“I am confident that by the grace of God we will qualify. We will give our 100% in every game and try to win whether home or away. Every match must be taken as a matter of life and death.”

CSKA Moscow star Ahmed Musa added : “This is a very good group. All I will say for now is that we will do our best to qualify.”

The Super Eagles will kickoff their campaign against Zambia on October 3 at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium , Ndola.
