Kelechi Iheanacho scored a first-half brace to hand Nigeria a comfortable 2-0 win against Liberia.
Nigeria who started the game brightly went ahead in the 24th minute through Iheanacho after a clever play from midfielder Alex Iwobi from the right flank.
The Eagles continued to pile pressure on their opponent as they searched for their second.
On the stroke of halftime, the Liberians failed to clear their lines with Iwobi flicking a header to Iheanacho who showed good footwork to slot the ball past the goalkeeper.
The result puts Nigeria at the top of Group C after one round of matches.
The other two teams in the group – Cape Verde and the Central African Republic – had earlier played out a stalemate in Douala, Cameroon.
