brought smiles on the faces of Nigerians following their qualification for the
FIFA 2018 World Cup.
The Eagles sealed their
place at next year’s World Cup after edging African qualifying Group B Group B
opponents Chipolopolo of Zambia 1-0 in Uyo last Saturday.
Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi, who
replaced Moses Simon, scored the only goal in the 73rd minute from a brilliant
cutback from Man of the Match Shehu Abdullahi.
Ogu was an unused
substitute for the Eagles in the game and is yet to feature in any of the
qualifiers.
“For the first time in my
life, I saw Joy in the faces of many Nigerians on the Street after Qualifying
for the World Cup!!! I’m super proud,” Ogu wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
The Eagles’ last qualifying
group game is away to Algeria in Constantine in November.
