Yobo strolled in while the team was having lunch and started exchanging pleasantries with backroom staff, the technical crew and later his teammates who were at the lunch table. When Head Coach Stephen Keshi asked him jokingly whether it was the right or left leg that he copped his injury, he retorted thus: ‘Oga, I know even know the leg wey the injury deyoo’, in pidgin English, which drew laughter from all.

Lawal, was more formal since he still feels he may have a shouting chance of playing on Sunday, as he exchanged pleasantries and went straight to his room and immediately changed to the in-house white top and green shorts of the players to join them at lunch table.

Asked about the cause of the long delay in his coming, Lawal, said it was a mix-up that has hopefully been solved. “I’m here now and ready to help my fatherland defeat Namibia on Sunday, if the coaches find me worthy of a shirt”.

Yobo, on his part said he has come to camp to help ginger his team mates to victory against Namibia and get set for the next set of qualifiers, when hopefully he would be fully fit”.
