Victor Osimhen Equals Odegbami’s Record in Nigeria’s Top Scorer List

Nigeria’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, has made history by tying with legendary Segun Odegbami as Nigeria’s second-highest goal scorer. This milestone came during Nigeria’s recent AFCON qualifier against Benin, where Osimhen scored a crucial header, bringing his international tally to 23 goals.

The all-time goal-scoring list for the Nigerian national team is led by the late Rashidi Yekini, who scored 37 goals. With Osimhen’s remarkable form, many fans and analysts believe he could eventually surpass Yekini’s record. Osimhen's equalizer against Benin highlighted his knack for delivering in critical moments and reinforced his growing legacy within Nigerian football.

Here is the updated list of Nigeria's top scorers:

1. Rashidi Yekini - 37 goals  
2. Segun Odegbami - 23 goals  
3. Victor Osimhen - 23 goals  
4. Yakubu Aiyegbeni - 21 goals  
5. Ikechukwu Uche - 19 goals  
6. Obafemi Martins - 18 goals  

Osimhen, at just 24 years old, has a strong chance of surpassing these legends, with plenty of games ahead to further solidify his status as one of Nigeria’s all-time greats. Fans are eager to see him continue this form, with his next opportunity coming up in Nigeria’s final AFCON qualifier against Rwanda.
