Lazio youngster Ogenyi Onazi has said it is a dream come true to be picked by the Super Eagles.
The former schoolboy international was a surprise call-up by Nigeria
for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Liberia in
Calabar.
Onazi told MTNFootball.com that it has always been his dream to play
for Nigeria at full international level after he featured for the
country at U17 and U20 levels.
“I will say a big thank you to God because without Him, nothing is
possible. To play for my fatherland is what I always wanted to do and so
to now get a call-up to be part of Super Eagles has excited me.
“And I will do my best to lift the team higher. I am sure we will be
fine. I am looking forward to be in camp and train with the other member
of the team, I am sure it will be great.
“This call-up to play for Super Eagles is a dream come true for me
because that has been my ultimate ambition since I started the game. It
is an honour and I will use my chance well,” said Onazi, who failed to
make the final cut for the 2011 FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia.
This season, the Jos-born star, has played three Europa League games as well as made three appearances in the league for Lazio.
