Former Super Eagles captain and Nigerian football icon Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has issued a crucial message to Eric Chelle’s squad as they gear up for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations holding in December.
The former PSG and Bolton magician stressed that Nigeria’s biggest weakness remains their lack of consistency, especially when the pressure is highest.
According to him, the team often shows flashes of brilliance but fails to maintain the same energy across different matches, a habit that could be costly at a major tournament like AFCON.
Nigeria’s run in the World Cup qualifiers was a rollercoaster, but we would have loved to see Nigeria qualify with ease.
Football is never simple, but one thing this team must fix is consistency. they need to stay disciplined, stay focused, and deliver top-level performances in every single game.
Okocha added that the Super Eagles have the talent, but without a steady rhythm, they risk falling short once again on the big stage.
His advice comes as Nigeria prepares for a challenging AFCON campaign where every match will demand both quality and stability.
