A former vice-president of Nigeria, businessman and a presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar has given a fatherly advice to the Nigeria’s super eagles team as they prepare for their second match with Iceland at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, scheduled to hold today, June 22 by 4pm.

Read Aitku's message to the Nigeria national football team below...

Dear Super Eagles,

In the last 24 hours, I am sure that the team has taken time to “rehearse the future.” The time is now. It is time to glide over Iceland. It is time to inspire the world. It is time, soar.

Let us not play with fear, but let us never fear to play.

Remember, you are an Eagle.
