Nigeria forward Osaze Odemwingie has warned the rest of the tournament that his team mean business after their "miracle" qualification.
The super Eagles beat Benin 2-0 and with Mali unable to avoid defeat against Ivory Coast, Nigeria qualified.
"We asked for something of a miracle and it happened," said Odemwingie, who is suspended for Sunday's match.
"We showed great mental strength. Rule us out at your own risk."
Odemiwingie, 27, had an excellent game against the Squirrels, setting up John Obi Mikel for the opening goal.
"We are now up against the host team and if we want to progress in this competition, we will have to beat them as well," added Odemwingie.
