Pinnick also pointed out that not until Nigeria defeat Cameroon, qualification for the World Cup 2018 cannot be said to be achieved.
“We decided to go for what we want at that point and the good thing is that we did not consider it a gamble because we know his antecedent. “However, it is not about him alone but all the members of the technical crew, from Salisu Yusuf, Allow Agu to the least backroom staff. “I must also admit that we have mother luck smiling at us.
” The technical ability can be 70 or 80 per cent but the prayers from Nigerians also contributed. “I want to also emphasis that we are not resting on our oars. We are doing everything humanly and materially possible to ensure we beat Cameroon home and away. “It is only when we beat Cameroon that we can say that we have picked the World Cup ticket,” Pinnick said.
