Legendary Cameroonian Roger Milla has foretold a fierce match between his nation and Nigeria in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The two titans of African football will square off in a Round of 16 match on Saturday at Abidjan's Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium. In their previous two matches in the AFCON finals, the Super Eagles prevailed over the other team. In 2004, in Tunisia, the West Africans defeated the Indomitable Lions in the quarterfinals. Cameroon's elimination from the 2019 Egypt-hosted AFCON Round of 16 was likewise a result of the Super Eagles. Milla, a member of the Cameroon team who lost to the Super Eagles in the championship game in 1984 and 1988, declined to take a punt on the outcome of the match. "This game is likely to be tough. Milla stated on RTI, "It's a game between two brothers who know each other very well." "At this point, it's hard to tell who will win the game."

For the Super Eagles to advance further in the present Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire, President Bola Tinubu has urged them to play better. John Enoh, the Minister of Sports, conveyed Tinubu's message to the Abuja players on Wednesday night in Abidjan over Zoom. Enoh claims that the President was not overly pleased with the team's performance in the group stage. "I met with the President yesterday," he stated. The President cornered me when I walked to the villa to get something else, and I told him that the Eagles had qualified, so that's how we're going to continue until we win the tournament. “He said that I should tell the players that he wasn’t too impressed ...
