Nigeria's Super Eagles players are not ready to back down as they display unity and determination for future battles after the win over Cameroon.

The Super Eagles have unveiled a defiant rallying cry at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2023, after a brilliant victory against Cameroon in the round of 16. 

Nigeria defeated the Indomitable Lions 2-0 to become the second team to book a place in the quarterfinals on Saturday night.

Atalanta star Ademola Lookman was the star of the night as he netted an impressive brace to inspire the Super Eagles to a resounding victory against the hapless Lions.

The victory means the Super Eagles will now prepare for a date with Angola, who demolished Namibia in the first knockout round match, in the quarterfinals.

With that encounter on their minds now, the Super Eagles players have set a resounding message to Nigerians, in a spirited and unified declaration, asserting that ‘we no go gree for anybody.”
