Nigeria is Blessed with an abundance of Human and Natural Resources but as a young man growing up in Benin City i was only aware or should i say concerned about our sporting talent...Soccer is my sport of choice

Nwankwo Kanu and JJ Okocha my favorites but Finidi George, Tijani Babangida [/b]and [b]Victor Ikpeba made a huge impression on me because i enjoyed watching them play for big european clubs in Important competitions week in week out.

Its sad to see that Nigerian Soccer players are not making as much of an impression on the world stage as i have become accustomed to

the purpose of this thread is for us to evaluate the peformances of our brothers in various leagus across Europe and the world

Currently John Obi Mikel is (in my opinion) the only Nigerian player who is relevant to his team in the sense that he is guaranteed a spot in the starting 11 week in week out - I believe or should i say i am hopeful that Victor Moses can make the same sort of impact as Mikel but quicker .....I AM OVERJOYED FOR mIKEL THAT HE IS FINALLY LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS i hope more Nigerian players become relevant for various clubs as this will only help us become a better footballing nation
