The defender scored the vital goal against Egypt, that got Nigeria’s campaign back on track, after their opening day defeat to Senegal.

His inclusion in the team didn’t come as a surprise as he won two man of the match awards in three Group games.

Nigeria returns to action on March 2 when they face Uganda in the quarter final at the Suez Canal Stadium.

Winner of the contest will pick the World Cup ticket at stake.
