"Extremely proud and grateful to have made my @ng_supereagles debut” he posted on Instagram.

"Thank you, God, for the opportunity, it means everything to put on the shirt and represent my country. See you on Tuesday. We need your support." He posted on Instagram.

Nigeria arrived back in Abuja in the early hours of Saturday morning after Friday's game and have intensified their training in the quest to beat Ghana in the second leg and qualify on Tuesday.

With the 0-0 draw in the first leg, a win would be enough to secure Nigeria's place at World Cup finals.

Meanwhile, Ghana need a scoring draw or a win to eliminate their West African rivals and reach Qatar.

The game will take place at the 60,000 capacity Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
