The on-loan player from Chelsea to Liverpool had appeared for Nigeria against Malawi and scored from the penalty spot to help the Super Eagles into the last round of qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
He had also been trumpeted as a vital cog in the Merseysiders quest for the Premiership title and he lived up to the billing on Monday as he scored on his debut against Swansea.
His solo run in the 36th minute from the half way line ended with the Nigerian placing a fine shot past Michel Vorm in goal for Swansea.
He also created a chance for Daniel Sturridge in the 12th minute which the Englishman failed to take.
