He gave the warning on Friday at the ceremony for the World Cup draw in the Kremlin in Moscow.
At the event, Nigeria were drawn in Group D with two-time former World Cup winners Argentina, Croatia, and Iceland.

The draw comes 17 days after Rohr’s men stunned Argentina by recovering from two goals down to win 4-2 in Krasnodar.
The German manager, however, asked the Nigerian team not to expect a re-occurrence of what happened on November 14, stressing that not just the Argentine but other opponents in the group were ranked better by FIFA.
“We have three teams supposed to be better than us because they are higher on the FIFA ranking, so what we have to do is to prepare well,” he said.
