I heard the South African 'keeper had been killed and I thought it was probably one of their former goalkeepers, but when I confirmed it was Senzo Meyiwa, I was shattered.

I felt sorry for Senzo Meyiwa family and for the people of South Africa because it's a shame we lost such a huge talent. In all the games he had played I think he didn't concede any goal.

I remember when Samuel Okwaraji died on the field, I was mute and I didn't even know what I was doing or what I was saying.

I want to work for Nigeria, my blood is here. I captained this team for 14 years, and it is my country. But you people think if there is no Super Eagles we won't exist. I came from another country to coach the Super Eagles so don't think if we don't win my career is over, no. It's just starting.

Senzo Meyiwa was just a young kid and was already becoming one of the best goalkeepers in Africa.

My future does not depend on me but on any decision by the Togo federation.

People don't have to believe in you for you to succeed. Just work hard, when you succeed, they will believe.

Our audacity to rise from our losses makes Nigeria the number one footballing nation in Africa!

It's not going to determine whether I will remain with Nigeria or not. I don't have a contract and I'm not depending on this match to give me a contract. So please don't think I will die in the Nigeria job.
