Six players arrived in Johannesburg on Wednesday to give Shuaibu Amodu the full complement of expected players for this weekend's 2010 World Cup qualifier in Maputo.

Vincent Enyeama, Chidi Odiah, Sani Kaita, Obinna Nwaneri and the Uche brothers hit South Africa on Wednesday morning and immediately boarded a flight to Nelspruit to join the rest of the team.

Their arrival brings the total number in camp to 19 players.

On Tuesday, skipper Nwankwo Kanu led five other players in. Obafemi Martins, Osaze Odemwingie, Obinna Nsofor, Femi Ajilore and Onyekachi Apam were the other players who breezed into the Mthunzi Lodge camp of the Eagles.

The team trained for the first time later that day at the Thumalahashe Stadium in Mpumalanga, which is about an hour's drive from the hotel. Save & Share

Nigeria coach Shuaibu Amodu is focused on getting all three points out of Sunday's game against Mozambique in Maputo and has put a blanket over anything that might distract his players from the task.

Media were allowed into the Lodge on Monday and Tuesday but official media interviews with players and officials were not allowed.

On Wednesday morning access to the serene Mthunzi Lodge where the players are camped was severely restricted.

Media Officer Idah Peterside explained that the players needed to be focused on the task ahead.

"This is supposed to be a closed camp and the players need to be allowed to concentrate on the task ahead.

"We know how important it is for the media to speak to the players and we are making arrangements to make that happen when we get to Mozambique.

"But for now, we need the players to rest properly and concentrate on how to get the three points from the game,"

Goalkeeper Austin Ejide is fired up not just for this weekend's clash against Mozambique, but also for the duration of the long-haul 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Ejide was among the first arrivals at the Super Eagles' Mthunzi Lodge camp and told journalists that the Super Eagles need to be focused for the game.

"This World Cup is very important for us. It doesn’t matter who we are playing. We have to be at the World Cup and we know that we have to fight all the way for it.

"All we have to do is play with commitment on the field and believe in ourselves because we have a lot of quality players in the team," he told KickOffNigeria.com.

And to keep his eyes firmly on the ball, Ejide has adopted US President Barack Obama's campaign slogan 'Yes We Can!'

"That is the way we should approach all our matches. For me, I believe that We Can!"

FOOTBALL
Super Eagles midfielder, Kalu Uche will arrive Super Eagles camp at Nelspruit in Johannesburg, South Africa, this morning armed with the medical report of the injury he sustained in his club, Almeira’s 3-0 defeat on Sunday by Real Madrid.

Kalu tore his muscle ligament in the La Liga clash and limped off the pitch.

Almeira, the La Liga club of the Nigerian midfielder confirmed his departure for the World Cup qualification match between Nigeria and Mambas of Mozambique slated for Maputo on Sunday, March 29, 2009.
A report posted on the club’s website Monday evening reads:

“Kalu Uche has travelled to Mozambique to join the Nigerian national team armed with the medical report of the injury he sustained against Real Madrid.

Complete Sports however put a call through to Spain only for Kalu Uche’s younger brother to confirm the depature of the Super Eagles ace to South Africa.

He however played down the injury, insisting that Kalu was not seriously injured in the La Liga clash at the Santiago de Benabeu.

“Kalu (Uche) has travelled to South Africa for the Super Eagles match against Mozambique,” the younger Uche confirmed.

“He travelled today (yesterday) with Ik Uche to join the other Eagles players in camp for the World Cup qualifier against Mozambique,” he explained.

Asked about the injury which Kalu sustained in the La Liga match against Real Madrid, he repeatedly insisted that his elder brother was not injured at all.

“No, he was not injured at all. If he was injured, would his club allow him to travel to South Africa to join the (Nigerian) national team for the match against Mozambique?,” he responded rhethorically.

He probably was unaware of the report on Almeria’s website that his elder brother travelled with a medical report in his bag explaining the nature of the injury.

The Super Eagles will travel by bus to Maputo for their 2010 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique on Sunday.

The distance from Nelspruit to Maputo is a mere 200 kilometres and will take the team about two hours by bus.

A comfortable 52-seater, full option Mercedes Benz bus complete with DVD player has been hired for the team.

After the game, the squad will fly direct to Johannesburg before dispersing to their different clubs in Europe

My guy you are saying the truth. May God bless you.

I was also in Christ Embassy for a year and two months and I saw things for myself. Christ Embassy is an Anti-Christ Church unknown to a lot of their members.

A lot of Christ Embassy pastors and members are corrupt, dirty and carnal even though they think they are the holiest.

i remember the pastor of the CEC where I worshipped, a 419 guy by the name SOLOMON WEALTH UNEZE stealing the healing school patnership seed of my mother who was not a member, couldn't make it on the patnership sunday and came the following day to drop the offering. It was never sent to the group church and was never recorded as part of the church's patnership offering for that month.

And there are so many other atrocities that we shall talk about later.

Most CEC members believe that other Christians are not going to heaven whereas with their lifestyle they themselves may never make heaven.

I think that most of you guys are just plain being foolish. What is your problem with a man of God, called and anointed by God, a man that has been mightily and greatly used by God to preach the gospel all over the world and save hundreds of thousand of souls bying a private jet to facilitate the work of ministry.

If Jesus's ministry were to have been in this age, I am VERY sure Jesus would have had over 12 private jets.

It is so unfortunate that many of you guys do not understand God's prosperity plan for HIS people in this end time.

He says through prosperity shall my cities(and i dare say children) be spread abroad.

So if a man of God is doing the work that God sent him and he is doing it dutifully, why shouldn't God bless him with a private jet.

You haven't seen anything yet. Some of us are coming, we are on the way! In our own time,we shall be talking about tens of private jets, not just one.

So if you don't know what to say just shut up and stop judging a man of God .
