Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, has revealed the one country he would prefer Nigeria avoid in the group stage when the draws for the Africa Cup of Nations take place in Rabat, Morocco, on Monday.

Yobo, who is in Rabat to serve as one of the draw assistants at the ceremony, said he is confident Nigeria will make it out of the group stage as the team usually does, though, it would be better to not face the host nation in that stage.

“Knowing the Nigerian Super Eagles, we never have problems coming out of the groups. I’m not really bothered about that, but I’ll say I’ll like to avoid the host nation in the group stage,” Yobo said on the red carpet.

The former Everton defender added, “You want to meet [Morocco] in the knockout stage because anyone can go home at that time. If we can avoid them, fine. If not, like I said, we don’t have any issues coming out of the group stage.”
