The two African giants square off later this month, and Eguavoen has named his protagonists for the crucial derby
The NFF have released the squad list for the crucial World Cup qualifier double header against the Black Stars of Ghana later this month.
The squad is made up of 25 players- three goalkeepers, eight defenders, five midfielders, and nine attackers. There are also seven players on standby.
Asides the Qatar 2022 tickets, the game is also a battle for pride, as the two sides are arguably the best teams from West Africa.
After the release of the list, some top Ghanaian journalists took to their social media to share their thoughts on Augustine Eguavoen’s squad selection.
The most popular opinion among them was the boisterous attacking prowess of the Super Eagles. However, they also spoke on lack of creativity in the Nigerian midfield.
Also, despite their poor outing at the last Africa Cup of Nations, the Ghanaian fans are still confident of a victory against Nigeria.
The Ghanaians will release their squad next week.

Ghanian fan will cause a pressing on thier Black Stars team ; this pressing will form a big anxiety against black stars players on will they beat Super Eagles then advance to the World Cup in Qatar? ;this excessive and overmuch confiedence from Ghanian fan who look at black stars will beat SE easily. Black Stars lack finishing sensibility to the goals look at their partisipation on Afcon. in Cameroon on their goals collection is less than expected, their defence is so shaky; they have been defeated on tow matches.Look at SE attack is so terrible, their midfield and defence are so shaky , they need an overhaul before Ghanian encounter.
Na just see finish be this. Sha 25th no far again
Whoever wins between the two cannot change anything in Qatar. Both teams are weak in many areas. I do not see either Ghana or Nigeria perform better than any European or South American teams. So why all these noise, Black African teams are just there to add the numbers.
Talk is cheap. Ghanians, don't waste your time playing this your ineffective mind game. It is 11 versus 11 and 90 minutes in each leg. Please, don't forget your JuJu. Bring the best of them and your mouthful boasts. All make defeating you so sweat.
