NIGERIA professional footballer Oghenekaro Peter Etebo has warned the Super Eagles of Nigeria not to underrate Sierra Leone.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will begin there AFCON qualifier campaign today when they go head to head against Sierra Leone at Abuja International Stadium and then travel for their match day two fixture against Sao Tome Principe at Stade Adrar on June 13.

26 years old Watford midfielder Peter Etebo has advised the Nigerian football team to learn from their past mistakes when they faced Sierra Leone in a match that saw Leone Stars register a dramatic comeback for a 4-4 draw in Benin City.

“I guess the game is not going to be easy because I remember the last time we played Sierra Leone in Benin we were 4-0 up, we lost focus and the game ended 4-4. We went to Sierra Leone and it was 0-0 but all the same that has passed" Etebo told NFF TV as quoted by Allnigeriasoccer.com

“The most important thing is for us to be as a team, we need to make sure that it needs to start from now, that come on Thursday we need to make sure that every game that we are going to play we need to take it seriously and get every point as much as we can", he said.
