Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, clocked 22 on Wednesday.
Born October 3, 1996, Iheanacho has become an indispensable member of the national team since making his debut against Swaziland in 2015.
At his club Leicester City, the forward is of equal relevance.
Iheanacho has struck a formidable partnership with Jamie Vardy.
Both have been directly involved in eight goals thus far.
The Foxes joined forces with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to celebrate the attacker.
