Ben Iroha, who played alongside Keshi in the Super Eagles in the 1990's, told Vanguard newspaper that the team still miss Emenike and Moses as they need to improve in attack following the series of missed chances against Kenya.
"Our victory over Kenya was a big boost for us, but it is not over yet until we get the ticket to Brazil; we are almost one leg in Brazil.
"Namibia is a good side and playing them in their home is not going to be a mean task. Eagles have improved going by their away record, I don’t think they have lost any match.
"I just hope they put the same energy they applied against Kenya in this match against Namibia so that we can get something out of it.
"We still miss Emmanuel Emenike in the attack, we need his strength to jack up the team like in the days of Daniel Amokachi. We also missed the striking skill and speed of the Chelsea star, Victor Moses. I hope he recovers quick that will help us a lot," he adds.
A victory for Nigeria in today's game will seal qualification for the next round of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, making the remaining game against Malawi a mere formality.
