The Super Eagles camp has been bubbling since Monday as many of the players invited for the pair of international friendly matches against Uganda and South Africa have arrived.
Among the early birds from Europe was Odion Ighalo.
Ighalo, who joined Watford from Italian club Udinese last July, has netted 11 goals in 18 games for the English Championship outfit. His arrival increased the number of players at the Le Meridien Hotel in Uyo as at dinner time on Monday.
Defenders Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Akeem Latifu, and forward Ahmed Musa were also already in camp.
Also in camp were Aaron Samuel and Moses Simon while goalkeeper Chidiebere Eze and striker Mfon Udoh were the only two home-based among the early birds of the twenty-eight invited for the March friendlies.
According to Toyin Ibitoye, the media officer of the Super Eagles, all other players were expected at breakfast on Tuesday as all is now ready for training to begin on Tuesday morning.
Nigeria will take on the Cranes of Uganda at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium at 6pm on Wednesday before travelling to South Africa for their game against Bafana Bafana in Nelspriut on March 29.
