My humble greetings to everyone here at this time of the day. It's a great privilege to jump on this contest. Massive thanks to @marcybetancourt for organizing this superb contest.
Without no further ado, I will jump in fully and discuss a few things about my country's national team.
A Brief History of the Nigeria National Team
It was established that the Nigeria National Team played other colonies in a series of unofficial games since 1930s and noted that team later played it's official game in the year 1949, while still under the British colonization. The first official game was a success after a 2 - 0 win over Sierra Leone at Freetown, Sierra Leone; 8 October 1949.
This huge victory gave the national side the confidence of doing exceedingly great in the game of football.
The team's home stadium is Moshood Abiola National Stadium and the team is being managed by Gernot Rohr. While the current FIFA ranking the team hold on to is 35th.

Hello @fredquantum. I loved your way of telling the story and the achievements of the Nigerian National Team.
Undoubtedly, that victory showed a Nigerian team capable of achieving great feats.
The championships and the cups that the team has achieved speak for themselves. That's why they have a good world ranking today.
All of us who love football will never forget when Nigeria won the 1996 Olympic Games and won the Gold Medal.
Great final reflection! We all hope to see a Nigerian team in the next World Cup.
