Baldwin Bazuaye asks Nigerians to be patient with the Eagles despite sloppy Burundi win

Former Nigeria international, Baldwin Bazuaye has admonished Nigerians not to be too hard on the Super Eagles after they struggled to beat minnows, Swallows of Burundi 1-0 in their Group B opener at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Odion Ighalo, who came in as a second-half substitute, saved the Eagles blushes with the only goal of the game in the 77th minute after a creative assist from Ola Aina.

Bazuaye who is now a coach with Bendel Insurance feels the Eagles cannot be judged on the performance in one match and that Nigerians must be patient with the team to ensure that they improve in their next fixture with Guinea.
