Kanu-Nwankwo

Former Super Eagles forward, Kanu Nwankwo, has urged Nigerians to support the national team ahead of their match against Guinea in the African Cup of Nations on Wednesday.

The 42-year-old former forward shared a video on Twitter to spur the nation.

“Up super eagles Nigeria 🇳🇬 🦅 Let’s get the 3 points again today against Guinea 🇬🇳 🙏🙏🙏,” he wrote.

Nigeria on Saturday edged past tournament debutants, Burundi, thanks to second-half substitute, Odion Ighalo.

The ex-Watford striker scored the only goal after 77 minutes in Alexandria with a curled finish past Burundi goalkeeper, Jonathan Nahimana, from a sublime Ola Aina pass.
