African football great Segun Odegbami has charged Nigerians to the Super Eagles in their quest to qualify for the 2018 Fifa World Cup.
The Super Eagles face Zambia on October 7 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium - and victory would hand them a place in Russia.
Chipolopolo are three points behind Gernot Rohr's men, and they would be hoping to cause an upset as they chase their first World Cup appearance.
“The Black race has a lot to lose if Nigeria does not qualify for the World Cup,” Odegbami told Goal.
“Nigeria must go to the World Cup and for us to go we need to beat Zambia.
