“We are shocked beyond words at the attitude of the Embassy of Belgium in Nigeria”. Football preaches and spreads peace and love, however we’re stunned on the angle of the Belgian embassy in Nigeria.

Members of Nigeria’s backroom staff have experienced similar problems.

Defender Abdullahi Shehu from Uniao da Madeira in Portugal arrived in camp on Monday night, while goalkeeper and skipper Vincent Enyeama joined the group yesterday afternoon before training session at the R. Battice ground.

Moses, in a letter to the Nigeria Football Federation through the Super Eagles’ Administrator, Enebi Achor, said he was pulling out in a precautionary move against injury.

The head coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Thomas Finke has reminded his players that this weekend’s friendly game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria isn’t friendly at all, saying it’s a massive preparation to their world cup qualifiers in November.

Eagles trainer Sunday Oliseh, while repenting this drawback, promised the team have the openings made by both players to fill.
