gister3: They are on drugs!!! 1. Austin Okocha 2. Rashidi Yekini 3. Nwankwo Kanu They even had Amuneke above Finidi? I would even have Celestine Babayaro above Amuneke. He should be far higher than where he is at the moment. The drugs in Nigeria is bad. 9 Likes |

Where is Emma Osigwe? Where is Alloysius blockbuster Atuegbu? Where is Moses Otolorin? Moses Otolorin scored the goals that won IICC shooting stars the defunct Africa Cup winners cup in 1976. He was a goal machine. Where is Kunle Awesu? Where is Christian Madu? Does it mean those who did not play pro football or do not have press men to trumpet their achievements should not be on this list? 6 Likes |

Taye Taiwo in the list and Chidi Nwanu is not there, this must be a joke!!!! How many years has Mikel played to be named among the greats 4 Likes |

X-factoria: At what level did Chidi Nwanu play that you want to compare him with Taye Taiwo? That is like comparing one of the Sodje brothers with Yobo. Is it the number of years or the quality of years, your talent and your achievements? How many Nigerian players have done better than Mikel? 2 Likes |
