The Super Eagles are ahead of the other teams in Group B with 10 points and are followed by Zambia with Seven points.
Nigeria started the world cup qualification campaign in what many soccer pundits predicted to be the group of death in a blistering form with a defeat 2-1 defeat of Zambia in Ndola to pick their first away win.
NAN reports that Nigeria is on the brink qualifying for the 2018  Mundial in Russia with an emphatic 4-0 win over the African champions, Cameroon in Uyo and the reverse fixture in Yaounde which  ended 1-1.

Other countries that could all book their spots at  next year's World cup in the penultimate round of African qualifiers at the weekend are Egypt and Tunisia.
