“Respect the Badge” – Onazi Says Missing Another World Cup Is Unacceptable

Former Nigeria international Ogenyi Onazi has called on the Super Eagles to give their all when the FIFA World Cup qualifiers resume in March, warning that it would be a national embarrassment to miss back-to-back World Cups.

The Super Eagles are winless in their last four qualifiers and currently sit fifth in their group with just three points from four matches.

The team faces a tough battle to turn their fortunes around.

Speaking to Brila.net, the 2013 AFCON winner urged the players to approach the remaining fixtures with passion, commitment, and respect for the national badge.

“We have an amazing team, a world-class team. We just need to put ourselves in order and respect the badge,” said Onazi.

“It’s embarrassing for us not to beat Rwanda. Of course, anything can happen in football, but there are some things that are not acceptable.

I wish them all the best, they are amazing.”

The Super Eagles will resume their qualification campaign on March 17 with a must-win game against Rwanda, followed by a clash with Zimbabwe three days later.
