“Without the said sacrifice(earlier spoken about), Nigeria can only end at the quarterfinals. The gods are angry, and cannot be taken for granted; now is the time for the management to listen to the voice of wisdom,” she said.
“We’ll see how it goes, whether I’m right or wrong. But the gods are wise.”
