Former Super Eagles striker, Uchenna Nwofor has backed Nigeria to do big things at the forthcoming AFCON in Egypt due to the talents abundant in our national team.

Nwofor who was part of the late Stephen Keshi’s 23-man team list for the in Brazil, speaking to Sports247.
“I so much believe in Nigeria, I have no doubts that they will do well because of the talents in the team”.
“With the results, we have been getting from Nigeria now, that is the national team, I want to believe it will be a morale booster for them ahead of the two friendly matches and in Egypt for the Nations Cup”.
Nwofor last attempted a 2comeback in the Algerian top flight was halted in devastating fashion couple of months back when the Nigeria international picked up a serious knee injury.
It’s a setback that significantly curtails his attempted comeback at JS Kabylie, and threatens to bring to a premature end his time in North Africa.
The 27-year-old moved to Kabylie last year in a bid to launch his career.
It’s been five years since the striker’s career was ‘on the up’, as he enjoyed three seasons in Dutch football with VVV-Venlo and SC Heerenveen.
Nwofor made a total of 10 appearances for the Super Eagles and contributed three goals.
While in Europe, Nwofor played for the likes of VVV-Venlo, sc Heerenveen, Lierse, Boavista, and AS Trenčín.
