Toyin Ibitoye, the ex-Super Eagles media officer, advised Nigeria to stay focused despite their 4-0 victory over Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
“You can only face the opponent’s team,” he said. Some people think that being successful in a competition does not automatically mean you are the best. On Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Ibitoye remarked, “You are just lucky to beat all the teams that have been placed ahead of you.”  ,
The following game is “your most significant game.” You think about the upcoming game ahead of you, not yourself. On the breakfast program, he said, “That’s the most important game for you to play.”

Victor Osimhen scored twice, Ademola Lookman scored once, and Akor Adams scored once more to place Nigeria in the top eight.
The Super Eagles, who are currently scoring 12 goals in their first 12 games under the direction of Coach Eric Chelle, have not lost a game so far.
With only four goals scored from Nigeria, Monday’s victory over the Mambas is its biggest win of the AFCON.
With the Mozambicans out, Nigeria’s focus shifts to the quarter-finals, where they will face Algeria or DR Congo. On Tuesday, that match will be played.
Which one of them emerges from today’s game, according to Ibitoye, will be a respectable opponent and will merit the full attention.
Coincidentally, the Super Eagles have a history between both sides. In the AFCON semi-finale in 2019, Nigeria fell to Algeria. In the final match of the African Play-Off for the 2026 World Cup, the Leopards of DR Congo defeated Nigeria.
