2018 World Cup Qualifiers: Onazi says Cameroon can never beat Nigeria

Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi is certain 2017 AFCON winners, Cameroon will not beat Nigeria in their 2018 World Cup qualifiers scheduled to hold in the coming months.

“I believe Cameroon can never beat us, Not just Cameroon, but any other team. We will face them just as we approached our first two World Cup qualifiers. We are looking forward to the games. We wish to congratulate Cameroon for their AFCON success, they have done very well. But that notwithstanding we are also working on our own. All our players are doing well all over Europe and as a team we are doing very well. We wait for them and we will see what will see what’s going to happen as I believe so much in our team.”
That’s the spirit man.

ogenyi-onazi-548964
Nigeria international Ogenyi Onazi is fighting tooth and nail to receive his salary from his former club, Lazio. The Super Eagles midfielder alleged that the serie A side owe him two months’ salary, specifically May and June and has asked FIFA to wade into the issue.
The 23-year-old midfielder who spent five seasons at the club made 110 appearances and scored seven goals before his move to Turkish club, Trabzonspor. 
He told BBC Sport, “We have no option but to go to FIFA to ask the disciplinary committee to act on Lazio’s refusal to pay me. My agent and lawyer have written to Lazio, but after two months we have heard nothing from the club. We all conclude that the only ideal thing to do is to approach FIFA to enable me to get what I worked for.”

Real Madrid writes Nigerian midfielder, Onazi Ogenyi

This looks more than a show of solidarity to me. Seems he’s on the UCL title defenders’ radar, moreso he wasn’t the only player who was injured in the just-concluded tournaent. Some had more grievous injuries. Well, maybe there are “no strings attached”.
Giant Spanish club, Real Madrid have written to console Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi Onazi over his injury which he sustained during Nigeria’s clash with France at Brazil 2014. Recall that the 21-year old suffered a fractured ankle following a foul from France midfielder Blaise Matuidi .
The letter which was penned by Emilio Butragueno reads thus.
“We have learned about your serious injury during the game you played against France. On behalf of our president Florentino Perez and those who work for Real Madrid, we’d like to wish you a smooth and speedy recovery, as a former professional footballer, I know you are going through a difficult time but I’m utterly convinced that eventually, you’ll be back to full fitness to help your team achieve its goals next season.”
