Former Nigerian international, Henry Nwosu has charged Super Eagles to unleash their full weight on the Harambee Stars of Kenya.
.
Nigeria's Super Eagles will play hosts to the East Africans in a titanic 2014 World Cup qualifier at the UJ Esuene Stadium in Calabar on March 23.
.
Nwosu said an emphatic win for the reigning African champions will send shiver into the spines of other group opponents.
.
"Of course, the Super Eagles must realise they are the African champions and other challengers will want to be the first to upset them.
.
"We must go into any battle with all our best legs even if it's against the lowest rated team. We must not underrate any side not even Kenya.
.
"The best players should get the nod to play against Kenya irrespective of where the player plies his trade.
.
"The watchword is operation crush the Kenyans, I mean thorough crushing so as to serve the notice that our Afcon victory was not a fluke as well as instil fear in other opponents," said the ex-Green Eagles' captain.
.
Nwosu however expressed worry over the prevailing hot weather but insisted it will stop not the Super Eagles from earning a convincing victory against the Kenyans.
.
"The hot weather may be a disadvantage to us but not to the extent we won't be able to cope. We're still Nigerians and should manage perfect in our own weather.
.
"We should win but I would rather prefer we crush them to send out a strong signal across board," said the former midfielder of defunct ACB.
