Ex Nigeria player, Justice Christopher has said the Nigeria Football Federation cannot afford to look back now or slow down as the Country bids to reach the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Christopher a 2002 FIFA World Cup veteran, racked up 11 caps for Nigeria between 2001 and 2002.
At the time, Nigeria competed favorably among the best teams in Africa and now that the Super Eagles are costing on that trajectory again, the former Midfielder has urged the FA to throw its entire weight behind the team.

Speaking with brila.net , the former Katsina United and Levski Sofia player said Nigeria’s qualification for the continental and global competitions were none negotiable.
Christopher maintains that the Super Eagles are on a good run of form and need to remain focused.
He stressed that it behoves on the NFF to make sure the Gernot Rohr-tutored team are motivated to deliver both the World Cup and Afcon tickets.
