Victor Osimhen has overtaken Segun Odegbami on Nigeria’s all-time top scorers list after netting his 24th international goal during Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda on Friday.
The Galatasaray striker capitalised on a well-delivered free kick from Ademola Lookman, finishing with precision at the far post to give Nigeria the lead.
With this goal, Osimhen now sits second on Nigeria’s all-time scoring chart, trailing only the late Rashidi Yekini, who holds the record with 37 goals.
Making his 39th appearance for Nigeria, Osimhen had previously matched Odegbami’s record during the 1-1 draw against Benin Republic in a 2025 AFCON qualifier last November.
The 26-year-old has been in top form this season, scoring 20 goals and providing four assists in 20 Super Lig matches for league leaders Galatasaray. Across all competitions, he has registered 26 goals and five assists in 30 appearances.
