Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo, clocked 29 on Saturday, same day the team tackle Croatia in the World Cup.
Ighalo will be expected to lead the line for Gernot Rohr’s team and Nigerians have urged the ex-Watford star to bang in the goals to mark his birthday.
Nigeria will battle the Europeans after Argentina’s clash with Iceland.
Here’s what Nigerians had to say on Twitter.
