While drumming for the Super Falcons, he noted that football is an important unifier in the country and urged the team to work hard to meet the expectations of Nigerians.

“It’s important that you stay engaged when you play together as a team; no one should think that he is a better player than another.

“Only by playing as a team can you record success. I hope you will surpass your previous efforts this time.

“I am sure 99.9 percent of Nigerians will be glued to the television to watch you. Try your best to bring the World Cup home.”

Expressing her faith in the team’s abilities and pedigree to succeed at the World Cup, the first lady herself promised to welcome the team when they bring the cup home.
