Former Zimbabwe forward Benjani Mwaruwari has tipped the Super Eagles to make it beyond the group stage at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia but warned the players to stay disciplined on and off the pitch and avoid fighting with officials over bonuses, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
Nigeria’s participation at the mundial has often been marred by in-fighting between players and officials of the football federation over bonuses.
The Super Eagles were embroiled in bitter dispute with federation officials at the 1994 and 1998 editions of the World Cup in the United States of America and France respectively which hampered their progress in the competition despite promising starts.
The issue repeated itself at the 2014 World Cup draw n Brazil with the players boycotting training over dispute.
However, the current NFF have signed a bonus agreement with the players to avoid distractions in Russia.
