Nigeria are on 730 points, four more than the previous month and can climb higher with a win against Togo and South Africa whom the team will face in June.
Egypt are top dogs in Africa and they are tailed by Senegal and current African champions Cameroon.
Brazil are the world leaders and are followed by South American rivals Argentina, Germany, Chile and Colombia to make the top five teams in the world.
