As the Super Eagles of Nigeria prepare to take on the their French counterparts at the FIFA World Cup, round of 16, many have belittled the African country's chances of advancing.

Some Nigerians are even touting that Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema will be the one to score the goals.

This latest development has highly infuriated Keshi, when reporters asked him what he thought about the probability of Nigeria facing Karim Benzema. He replied quick as a flash: “And France will be facing Musa, Emenike … ”

“All the teams are good. It doesn’t matter [who you face],” Keshi noted. “You have to appreciate that. It is only Nigeria that people don’t appreciate that.

Nigerians always think that every team we face we have to kill them 5-0, 10-0. It doesn’t work that way.”

The Eagles are riding high on confidence after a good outing against Argentina, which they lost 3-2.
