Nigeria vs Benin: All you should know
Nigeria's Super Eagles are gearing up to take on Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 5 p.m. This match marks the beginning of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, and they're eager to make a strong start after a disappointing loss in the previous edition's final against Cote d'Ivoire.
Interim manager Augustine Eguavoen feels optimistic about the team's chances, especially with key players like William Ekong, Victor Osimhen, and Moses Simon returning from injuries. However, he's emphasized that the focus is on securing three points in each match rather than seeking revenge for their previous loss to the Benin Republic.
Nigeria is favoured to win, but Benin's coach, Gernot Rohr, has the advantage of knowing the Super Eagles squad well from his previous stint as their manager from 2016 to 2021. The Super Eagles will be looking to dominate the play and secure a win, but they'll need to be clinical and cohesive to achieve this.
Following this match, the Super Eagles will face Rwanda in Kigali on September 10, 2024.
Sani's revelation about 2027 presidency

Sani says the 2027 presidential race should be between Tinubu, Peter Obi or former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The PDP chieftain then urged Atiku Abubakar and other political elites aspiring to contest in the 2027 presidential election to wait till 2031, when it will be the turn of the north.
