“It doesn’t matter now if we have more wins or they have more wins. What we experienced in the qualifiers have really helped us.
“The history of Nigeria in this competition is not going to help us. We have to win it on merit, based on the work we put in at the end of the day.
“We have a very tough task of getting to this tournament. We played against a good Ghanaian side and Ivory Coast as well.
“Nothing has been easy for us. We take a difficult path and we will be ready to do that again.”
