Is Eguavoen still in charge?

After missing the chance to qualify for the World Cup, the NFF chiefs disengaged Eguavoen's services and hired Jose Peseiro to take charge of the Super Eagles.

According to a recent post on Twitter, Eguavoen urged Nigerians to love themselves.

However, one fan was not pleased with the advice from the former coach, asking him to keep quiet until Nigeria qualify for another World Cup.
