Eagles was beaten 1-0 by Uganda, to crash Enyeama 100th cap party, outclass Daniel Amokachi's tactics in uyo.
Vincent Enyeama won his 100th cap for Nigeria but was breached once again in Uyo, this time by Farouk Miya's 82nd Minute deflected shot in the International Friendly against the Cranes of Uganda on Wednesday.
It was Uganda's 4th win against Nigeria, giving them an edge on head to head (4-1-3).
Daniel Amokachi's team showed very little cohesion for most part of the game and got punished for it in the second-half.
Sredojevic's side were worthy opponents on the night as they held the Eagles with the in-form Triumvirate of Odion Ihgalo, Anthony Ujah and Ahmed Musa at bay.
The Uganda Coach said "It was a game where we hope to learn a thing or two ahead of the AFCON nad World Cup qualifiers.
A disappointing result by all standards considering Uganda are ranked 74th in the latest FIFA Ranking.
Meanwhile, the Nigerua goalie Vincent Eyeama is one match away from equaling Joseph Yobo's 101; but the first goal tender to achieve it interesting.
"I want to thank Nigerians and all those who've supported my career with the Eagles, it was a disappointing result but football is football anyway and that's how it pans out sometime.
"I've got 100 caps now but at some point i must leave to concentrate om my club football, I'II discuss my future plans with the Coaches," Enyeama revealed.
Nigeria will now be facing Bafana Bafana in the second friendly lined up by the Football Federation.
