It’s been a long time coming in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and Nigeria capped their journey off with a win at home against Zambia on Saturday.
A single goal from Youngster, Alex Iwobi ensured the Super Eagles go six point clear on top of group B with a game left.
The 1998 World Cup was the last time Nigeria qualified for the tournament with a game to spare.
After the game on Saturday, the Eagles took to social media and each player had a message to share with the fans.
