Former international, Yakubu Aiyegbeni says over-reliance on Victor Osimhen cost the Super Eagles a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Osimhen netted a hat-trick against Gabon to help the Super Eagles secure a place in the final of African playoffs.
The Galatasaray striker was substituted during half time of Nigerias final defeat to Democratic Republic of Congo, which affected the teams performance.
