Expressing delight after earning a national team call up for the first time, Nasiru was spotted dancing to Flavour’s song ‘Kwarikwa’ as his teammates watched on.

''I must confess that I am very happy with the call-up I got which is a chance for me to make the country proud if selected to play against Mexico and Ecuador.

''Yes, my strength is scoring free kicks and I can step into the shoes of Okocha in the Super Eagles if I see the chance to express my ability.”
