[Folami David]

Oghenekaro Etebo and Dele Olorundare are bracing up for the opportunity to feature in the African Nations Championship (Chan) this weekend.
.
Both strikers have been called up into the Nigeria squad for the Chan qualifier against Ivory Coast in Kaduna this Saturday.
.
Interestingly this will be the first time that Etebo and Olorundare have earned calls into the Super Eagles squad.
.
"I'm excited with the chance but I know I must work hard to ensure that the coach look my way (for the match against Ivory Coast). There are so many quality players in camp and I just pray I'll make this count," said Etebo, who has scored nine goals for Warri Wolves in the Glo Nigeria Premier League this season.
.
Olorundare also believes it is an opportunity to worm his way into the hearts of the coaches and Nigerians.
.
He also wants to help the Super Eagles qualify for their first-ever Chan by replicating his scoring form for Sunshine Stars at international level after two failed attempts.
.
"I know we have never qualified for the tournament before but now we have the chance to change that. I am happy to be in the team for the first time and by God's grace I'll work hard to show why I'm in the team," said Olorundare.
.
The former Babanawa FC striker is the leading scorer in the Glo Premier League with 11 goals.
.
Nigeria's Super Eagles have failed to qualify for the Chan since its inception in 2009.
