In an interview with Ay Suga Naija Lifestyle, Balogun turned back the clock and backed the

Super Eagles to get past their current obstacle as Nigeria resumes their qualifying campaign next month.

“Everyone is aware of how challenging the situation is. I believe that many people believe that it is impossible,

but if you are playing for the Nigerian Super Eagles, you must have some level of confidence.

“We must regain our position at the top of Africa. We have to earn it once more. We still have to work on that.

We still have the reputation, but we need to perform to support it, and we didn’t do that recently.
