Speaking in Awka on Friday, the ex-international also pointed out that the team needed a change of approach in their general performance in order to secure the victory.
He advised the Eagles to effectively make use of its flanks to open up the opponents’ defence, and warned team against playing a tip-tap pattern which they adopted against Iran, that led to their goalless draw.
Okagbue urged the Eagles to go all out for goals and redeem the image of Africa at the ongoing World Cup.
"Approaching our games against Bosnia and Argentina with the same tactics will spell doom for us. I am hopeful they will do better in their subsequent games. They need to correct these mistakes and ensure that we qualify from the group" Okagbue said.
Similarly, another fan in Brazil, Jude Obikwelu, who is also the chairman of Anambra FA said, he was very optimistic that the Super Eagles would qualify from the group, and urged Nigerians to pray and support the team.
"I am in high spirit that we shall beat Bosnia and qualify for second round. Let’s pray for our Super Eagles, after all in AFCON 2013, they were written off, but they went ahead to win the competition. Let us stand behind them this time" he said.
