My take home from today's game is that to become a great leader, you must learn to LISTEN. Rohr listened to criticisms and drew positives from them and also effected needed changes. The result is a WIN. #NIGERIAFIRST @DrJoeAbah @obyezeks

When you talk about patience and stooping to conquer. Then look no further than Ahmed Musa. He almost stopped playing for Nigeria because of how he was treated by Rohr. Stormed out of a meeting the other time in London. Decided to stay calm and today, he is laughing last.

When Nigeria wins we all win. If we can have the same spirit (Response to feedback, Teamwork, etc) in our political arena as @NGSuperEagles Nigeria will surely win. #NGAISL@segalink

Rohr is a good coach. That's someone that admited his mistakes and fixed it not that bald headed Quilox Bouncer called Sampaoli
