Ilenikhena was asked which Nigerian football icon has influenced his career after he scored his debut goal for the Super Eagles against Madagascar in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier on Friday.

Ilenikhena also promised to continue working hard for the Super Eagles ahead of their next match against Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday.
