"I appreciate everybody for thier efforts, it is a victory for every Nigerian.

"We played our first game against lowly rated Dominican Republic and we all saw the result, nevertheless, the result was expected end.

"First matches are always difficult as it also happens that this is the first World Cup for some of the players.

"With the win over Brazil, Nigerians should expect greater performance from the team,'' he said.
