He started playing in with neighborhood kids their and in 1985, one of his friends invited him to meet the coach of local club Badda Jagoroni.
Nakib started his club career with pioneer league team Badda Jagoroni Sangsad in 1986, while he was still at secondary school.
In 1994 all the big named players in the country joined Muktijoddha Sangsad KC and Nakib was also forced to leave by the club officials, who did not know at the time that their decision will come to haunt them.
Nakib was top scorer for 4 straight seasons becoming only the second player after Sheikh Mohammad Aslam to achieve the feat, which only further increased the comparisons between the two.
During his time at Muktijoddha and during his second spell at Mohammedan Nakib was reported to be paid a monthly salary of 7 lakh Bangladeshi taka.
During the last qualifying game, Nakib scored an important headed goal from a Mamun Joarder cross to earn Bangladesh a win against the Malaysia U23 team.
However, even though he was not dropped from selection and kept on scoring in the league during these 9 years, Nakib failed to solidify a starting spot in the national team.
Myanmar had already defeated the nation during the opening match of the tournament, however, this time a change of tactics brought in by coach Otto Pfister, helped Bangladesh outplay their opponents.
[12] Nakib also scored during the 1997 South Asian Football Federation Gold Cup against Maldives, which ended up being his last ever goal for his country.
He was often compared with the country's legendary striker Sheikh Mohammad Aslam due to his ability to score headers and win aerial duels.
