Goals scored by Odion Ighalo, John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho, earned Nigeria’s Super Eagles 3 points in the World Cup Qualifiersgame played today against Cameroon in Akwa Ibom, and also kept them on top of the table with 9 point, and leaving the defeated African Champions with just 2 points.
Nigeria took the lead on 29 minutes when Ighalo latched onto a ball over the top from captain John Mikel Obi before drilling home.
Ighalo was then booked for revealing a T-shirt in support of his international colleague Carl Ikeme, who is suffering from leukaemia.
Just before half-time, a corner from Moses was turned in by his former Chelsea team-mate Mikel Obi as he stabbed into the roof of the net from close range.
Moses scored the third in the 55th minute after an exchange of passes with Moses Simon.
The rout for Cameroon, who won the Africa Cup of Nations in February, was completed when Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho stooped to head home a cross from Ogenyi Onazi with 14 minutes left.
Also, Ghana scored in the 85th minute to earn a 1-1 draw against visiting Congo in Group E.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set the minimum cut-off mark for admissions into universities at 120.
According to 9jaschoolblog it has that this followed the conclusion of the combined policy meeting which had Vice Chancellors, Rectors and Provosts of higher institutions as well as other stakeholders in attendance.

The minimum cut off marks for polytechnics and colleges of education was set at 100 while that of innovative enterprising institutes was set at 110.
It was also decided at the meeting that admission into first choice universities should close on October 15 while December 15, 2017, was set as the closing date for second choice admission by institutions.
Also, admissions into public degree awarding institutions for the 2017 UTME examination will end on January 15, 2018, while for private institutions, it ends on January 31, 2018.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede said institutions, with the decision, are not to go below the minimum cut-off points adopted at the meeting for admissions.
He called for the adoption of flexible cut-off marks for admission processes by higher institutions in the country.
According to him, “What JAMB has done is to recommend; We will only determine the minimum, whatever you determine as your admission cut-off mark is your decision.
“The Senate and academic boards of universities should be allowed to determine their cut-off marks.”He said.
“The admission process is now automated with the direct involvement of the registrar of JAMB for final approval.
“We have agreed to regularize admissions that were done under the table this year. From next year we will not accept anything like that.”
On the other hand, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu stated that the cancellation on post-UTME was a mistake and said institutions are now at liberty to conduct while adding that fee for the examination should not exceed N2000.
