Prince Obinna Ejebi (Nzesinachi), has called on Nigerians to remain calm and rally behind the Super Eagles following their recent setback, stressing that collective support is crucial for the team’s recovery and future success.
Reacting to the outcome of the match, Obinna Ejebi acknowledged the disappointment felt by many Nigerians but cautioned against reactions driven by anger or despair. He noted that football, by its nature, is unpredictable, and moments of defeat should be viewed as opportunities for reflection and improvement rather than occasions for blame.
According to Ejebi, the Super Eagles have, over the years, brought pride and joy to the nation through their achievements and dedication, and it is unfair to allow one result to overshadow their contributions. He emphasized that the players wore the national colours with commitment and should be encouraged to learn from the experience.
“Every great team goes through moments like this, and what matters most is how we respond as a people,” he said. “This setback should not divide us or weaken our belief in the Super Eagles. Instead, it should strengthen our resolve to support them as they prepare for the next challenge.”
Nzesinachi urged football fans and commentators to exercise restraint in their criticisms, noting that harsh words can negatively affect players’ confidence and overall team morale. He stressed the importance of constructive feedback that motivates rather than discourages, especially at a time when the team needs reassurance.
“Our players are human, and they feel the weight of public opinion,” he stated. “When we offer encouragement instead of condemnation, we help create an environment where they can regroup, refocus, and perform better in future matches.”
He also commended the technical crew for their efforts, acknowledging the pressure involved in managing a national team with high expectations. Ejebi expressed confidence that the coaching staff would assess the situation objectively and make the necessary adjustments to strengthen the team.
Concluding his remarks, Prince Obinna Ejebi called on Nigerians to maintain faith in the Super Eagles, describing the setback as a temporary phase rather than a defining moment. He expressed optimism that with unity, patience, and sustained support, the national team would bounce back stronger and continue to make Nigeria proud on the continental and global stage.
