Our dear Super Eagles, I know how deeply yesterday’s outcome weighs on each of you. When you wear the green and white, you carry the heartbeat of the whole nation, and I acknowledge the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment you put into every match.

Do not let today overshadow the greatness of tomorrow.
The Eagle never bows its head, it lifts its wings.
Keep your heads high and stay committed.
Nigeria believes in you, and together, we will soar again.
Keep soaring Super Eagles. -PO
