YOBO EYES KANU'S RECORD
Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo is set to equal Kanu Nwankwo's record of six Africa Cup of Nations appearances.
But the 32-year-old centre-back has not set his mind on winning the Nations Cup trophy this time, in what might be his final appearance in the tournament for Nigeria.
“It’s not going to be easy [to win the trophy],” he says. “But we will give it our best shot. We therefore urge Nigerians to keep praying for us and believe in this team.”
Yobo will lead Nigeria in their warm-up match against Nations Cup debutants Cape Verde on Wednesday.
