  • Social media has reacted to Augustine Eguavoen's 32-man squad to face West African neighbours Ghana in the FIFA World Cup qualifier
  • Interim manager Augustine Eguavoen included red-hot Leicester City forward Ademola Lookman in his squad, after switching his nationality last month
  • Nigeria and Ghana will cross swords in an all-important two-legged tie for a spot in the FIFA World Cup, which will be staged in Qatar

Social media has responded to Eguavoen's 32-provisional squad to square off against Ghana later in the month of March.

There have been mixed reactions pertaining to the squad released by the caretaker manager as Nigeria chase a fourth successive World Cup appearance - a record currently held by Cameroon.

The two West African powerhouses will renew their rivalry later this month with Ghana hosting the Super Eagles on March 25 before travelling to Abuja for the return leg four days later.

@Ofodile89 did not mince words suggesting Ghana might face a massacre against their Nigerian counterparts

Ghana is about to witness the greatest shock of their life

Ghana should tap out already. This is a lost battle

In the same vein, @Olalekann_Niyi concurs with the views of @Dekunbiwrld

A very confident @lifeofwolex argues Nigeria's squad is overwhelmingly better than their rivals.

This team is too much for Ghana abeg pity them

Just like @lifeofwolex, @godwinrio thinks Ghana should be scared with Nigeria's team.

Dear Ghana people, y’all should be scared right now cause we’re coming with full force SOUR SUPER EAGLES
