Who is up to date with rules for tiebreaker in AFCON? I recall this was announced a few weeks back. Help!!!

AFCON 2021 Regulations, Rule 74.2.1 somewhat confirms your initial assertion regarding head to head.
Nigeria therefore should win the group, regardless of the result against Guinea Bissau.

Thanks. I was not certain whether my information was accurate.
