Nigeria head coach Finidi George has sent a warning to their next opponent after his side dropped points against Bafana Bafana.
The Super Eagles remain without a win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after playing to a 1-1 draw against South Africa on home soil.
Nigeria have now drawn all three of their qualifiers but will now face a familiar as Tuesday's opponents Benin are coached by former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.

George feels Rohr's knowledge of the Super Eagles should make Benin fear them ahead of Tuesday's encounter.
"That doesn't change anything. If he knows the players, doesn't know the players, it's Benin, the players that he had before they are still around, that means he should be fearful," George said, as per allnigeriasoccer.com.
"If he knows the players so well and he has coached them, he should know they are a bunch of good players that we have in the national team.
"I've always said it I want to see attractive football and you must risk if you want to win, you can't just sit back and feel the goals will come, you have to enforce it which we did in the second half but unfortunately it didn't happen.
"We'll go to Ivory Coast and see how we can win that game."
