Striker Emmanuel Emenike says he believes Super Eagles players are all prepared for the first leg of the World Cup qualifier playoff against Ethiopia next month.
.
Nigeria will take on Ethiopia on October 13 for the first time since both sides met during the Africa Cup of Nations in January. The African champions won the tie 2-0.
.
Victor Moses scored on his debut for his new club Liverpool, and John Obi Mikel got his first Premier League goal for Chelsea last weekend, with other Super Eagles stars making waves in their respective clubs across Europe. This no doubt is a big morale booster for Emenike.
.
"Why not? The players are busy with their club activities, Moses is busy scoring for Liverpool, and Mikel is doing miracles with Chelsea and myself too, he told SportsDay.
.
"So all the players are ready for the October 13th and November 16th battles and by the special grace of God we will be in Brazil.
.
"We hope and pray to surprise the world this time around by winning the World Cup.
.
Nigeria is expected to jet into Addis Ababa just 24 hours to the kickoff of the game to avoid weather hitches.
I'm very happy to hear this. I hope they make us very proud on that day. The goals must go in as soon as possible.
