Nigerians Abroad: Iheanacho, Martins, Emenike, Ibrahim, Ujah, Ighalo Hits Target, Mikels Starts & More

Several Nigerian players were on song across Europe this weekend. Goals kept coming in and of cause Mikel made a rare start while Martins can't stop leaving up to his nick name Obagoal. The big question is this will Oliseh have a rethink over Martins. Obagoal has pleaded to Oliseh to give him a recall to the national team.

Vincent Enyeama: Super Eagles captain was in goal for Lille for the entire duration as they drew goalless at Lyon.

William Troost-Ekong: The defender saw action for the entire duration of the game as his Norwegian club Haugesund lost 5-0 at Stromsgodset.


Ahmed Musa: The forward played full game in CSKA Moscow's 2-2 home draw with Zenit St.Petersburg.

Kelechi Iheanacho: He showed great predatory instincts when he slotted home Manchester City match winner at Crystal Palace in stoppage time. His finishing skills will most certainly add value to the Eagles.

Anthony Ujah: He was among the goals for Werder Bremen as they beat hosts Hoffenheim 3-1. He played full game.

Emmanuel Emenike: He scored a brace for Al Ain in a 2-0 win over hosts, Al Wasl. He played full game.

Carl Ikeme: Eagles goalkeeper was an unused substitute for Wolverhampton Wanderers as they lost 2-1 at Bolton.

Kingsley Madu: The left-back played full game for Trencin in a 5-3 win.

Odion Ighalo: He scored the only goal to earn Watford their first victory in the EPL, beaten Swansea 1-0. He played for 71 minutes. It will be interesting if he is again overlooked by Oliseh for next month’s matches.

Joel Obi: Fit-again midfielder played for Torino as they drew 2-2 at Hellas Verona. He played for 51 minutes.

Akeem Latifu: The right-back was on from start to finish for Aalesund in their 3-1 loss at Lillestrom.
