Ameobi,who is a huge doubt for the October 13 game following an injury he sustained on international duties with Nigeria is not oblivious of the threats coming from the Ethiopian camp and believes the Eagles and the Waliya Antelopes are not on the same level.

"They should be worried about us," Ameobi told kickoffnigeria.com

"We are champions of Africa and it's important that we go out there and prove that again."

But the Newcastle striker, who made his home debut in Nigeria's 2-0 win over Malawi and scored his first international goal in the very next game, wants the Super Eagles to go prepared.
.
"At the end of the day, we just have to make sure we are prepared as a team and as a squad, mentally and physically and go into those games knowing we have to give our absolute maximum to get through to the World Cup."

The first-leg is scheduled for October 13 in Addis Ababa with the return leg on November 16 in Calabar.

The winner of the two-legged tie advances to the World Cup. Both games will be live on
