Super Eagles are now condemned to win next Tuesday's African Cup of Nations qualifiers in Alexandria after failing to grab all three points at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium on Friday.
Oghenekaro Etebo of Warri Wolves handed Nigeria from a close range the lead in the 60th minute of the game, after converting
kelechi Iheanaco's shot which hit the wood works.
But Roma's Mohammed Salah stepped up for his side in the stoppage time to cancel Etebo's goal and put the Pharaohs back on top of the league.
As it stands, Egypt are sitting atop of Group G with seven points followed by Nigeria with five points after three games each.
The Samson Siasia-led boys will need more than a luck to beat the Hector Cuper's men, who came to Nigeria with a plan, and sticked by it.
The introduction of suspended Ogenyi Onazi should also stabilise the midfield of the Nigerian side, while Carl Ikeme repeat his fantastic form in the first leg in Kaduna.
Nigeria Starting XI against Egypt
Carl Ikeme - Shehu Abdullahi, Stanley Amuzie, Godfrey Oboabona, Efe Ambrose - Mikel Obi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kelechi Iheanacho (Umar Aminu 61) - Ahmed Musa (Victor Moses 73), Moses Simon (Alex Iwobi 82), Odion Ighalo
