Nigeria have to get past France to reach that stage, but captain Joseph Yobo says with the additional incentive from the president, the players will be even more motivated to reach that historic landmark.
"He assured us when he called that he's behind us and if we beat France and qualify for the quarter-final, he will come and visit us and watch the next game," Yobo told KickOffNigeria.com. "That's a very big motivation for us to know that the president will come and visit us. It's better than money and we are determined to go there and fight and give our best.
"It's a morale booster." The game kicks off at 1pm local time (5pm Nigeria time) in Brasilia on Monday.
