On the 5th of October, Sam arrived in Lesotho alongside his teammates and their coach.
Staying disciplined, none of the players went outing as they stayed indoors in their hotel, meditating and placing themselves in the right state of mind in preparation for the decisive game against Lesotho.
It was a must-win game.
Lose and Nigeria would miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
That was not a reality that any of them was willing to bear witness to, and so, they were going to do their all to make the opposite a reality.
They must win the game!
By all means.
