Congrats to Super Eagles for earning a hard fought victory. Thanks to Ighalo. Ola Aina was my man of the match. Daniel Akpeyi should not start the next match.

Thank you #SuperEagles, nice game. We can do better next game

Was always going to be a tough one for the Super Eagles against the Swallows of Burundi, something I indeed expressed in my prediction. Nigeria's form into the tournament wasn't encouraging, but Rohr would have learnt a thing or two from this. Priceless win. #AFCON2019 #NGABDI https://t.co/sqBKlBiXON

Kudos to Nigeria super Eagles they did well ,play their style of football with less pressure but they need to step up their game against stronger opponents that knows how to score and well co ordinated.

Nice pass from Ola Aina. Even a better finish from the Odion Ighalo. Gernot Rohr can't be any prouder of his tactical decisions so far. Spot on! #TotalAFCON2019 #NGABDI

Both the assist by Aina and finish by Ighalo were top notch.World class!#NGABDI pic.twitter.com/M91wXGRkXX
