And on Tuesday, October 5, Gernot Rohr and the available players had their first training at the Teslim Balogun stadium with new invitee Taiwo Awoniyi in action.

Daniel Akpeyi and Francis Uzoho were the two goalkeepers who trained on Tuesday in Lagos before the latest arrival of Maduka Okoye according to the report on Complete Sports.

Maduka Okoye was in goal for the Super Eagles in their last two qualifiers for the World Cup and Gernot Rohr might still continue his fate in the goalkeeper.

Speaking to Legit.ng about his first training with the Super Eagles, Taiwo Awoniyi expressed happiness to finally train with Ahmed Musa as he promised not to disappoint if given the chance.

Taiwo Awoniyi's reaction

''Being in the Super Eagles is a dream come true because it's an ambition I have been nursing since I was very young when I used to watch the likes of Okocha and Finidi George.
''I am grateful because it is a great privilege for me to be on the same pitch with legend Ahmed Musa and I am once again grateful to Nigerians and coach Rohr.''

Ahmed Musa Spotted Giving Pretty Ladies Huge Cash

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Ahmed Musa who is the captain of the Super Eagles has shown his generosity to some ladies while driving on his G Wagon as the former Leicester Star gave them some cash.

These Hausa ladies were inside a tricycle when they saw Ahmed Musa driving his G Wagon worth N100million, and they started praising the Super Eagles captain.

Ahmed Musa looked at the them and had to roll down the glass before giving them some cash and drove off with the ladies in joyous momentum.

There is no doubt about the fact that Ahmed Musa is one of the richest Nigerian footballers considering what the 28-year-old has made thanks to football.
