Nigerian midfielder Junior Olaitan has issued a bold challenge to the Super Eagles ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifier in October, declaring that the team will "sink" Nigeria when they meet in Uyo. Born in Porto-Novo to a [Beninese mother](https://wiki.chimericalintelligence.org/index.php/User:GildaMcMinn42) and Nigerian father, Olaitan was eligible to represent Nigeria but chose to commit his international future to Benin due to frustrations over missed opportunities with [Nigeria's](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-law-and-ethics/) youth teams. He has since become a key figure for the Cheetahs, starting in their last ten competitive matches under coach Gernot Rohr. +
