The former Nigerian international Femi Opabunmi responded to the comment made by the Rwanda captain ahead of their clash with the Super Eagles.

Djihad Bizimana had played down the danger posed by Super Eagles players Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman. 

Rwanda faces a determined Super Eagles team aiming to improve their standing with a decisive win.

Nigeria, currently holding the fifth position in Group C with three points, is in urgent need of a victory to rekindle their World Cup qualification hopes.

Opabunmi said, as reported by Allnigeriasoccer, "The Rwandan defender that is talking that he has the caliber of players that we want to use the likes of Osimhen and Lookman as a defender he has to defend his country 

"The last two matches we played against Rwanda you can see that there is no unity in the team. Now you will see that all of them are determined because all of them want to go to the world cup.
