The Celtic defender of the Super Eagles is aiming at helping Nigeria make a meaningful impact in next year's global showpiece by exceeding previously attained heights.

He said:  “I am happy to be part of this history making.

“My target now is to help my country do well at the World Cup. We can shine in Brazil because I know we can play a lot better than what we have been doing.

“Here we have a talented group of players and I expect us to go a long way next year.

“We play Italy this week now and that should be the start of our build-up.

“It is important to treat games like these as vital because these are the kind of teams we will be facing next summer.”
