Yekini should be third, after Okocha.
How can Oliseh be greater than Yekini who broke lots of records, and is also an African Footballer of the Year? Even Ikpeba comes before Oliseh.

Sagamite:

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?

For sure you do not know Chidi Nwanu and never followed his game! Wondering why you have to comment on someone you do not know. Watch USA 94 clips again!

This lists are not Nigeria greatest footballers but Nigeria successful footballers if not what is taiye taiwo, Osaze and many more doing on the list.
Re: Nigeria’s 50 Greatest Footballers Of All Time By Supersports by Emmysteve(m): 2:23pm On Jan 06, 2013
who is Osaze to be on the lis? And where is Ikechuckwu Uche? This list is nothing but a trash. The only players worthy of mentioning here is Kanu, Okocha, . Rashidi Yekini,

This represents the posters 50 greatest Nigerian footballers!!....i smell fowlplay in dis list...were are names like PHILLIP OSONDU(ZANZA...who was even more prolific than lionel messi of today), SAM OKWARAJI, RIKKY OWUBOKIRI(the 1st Nigerian to score d highest no of goals in Europe)..., EFANGWU EKOKU (the 1st NIgerian to play active football in premiership) , Etc....

Whats Etim Esins name doing there..Etim the enfant terrible...he was good for club and under 20..he was supposed to be the biggest thing that ever happened to nig football back then but a combination of self inflicted misfortune and hard luck ruined his career...I think he is Nigerias version of Balotelli..he should be in the same boat with Godwin Okpara..both very skillful but threw away the golden spoon which nature had given them..



Where is THOMSOM OLIHAH...its a crime not to include him there.
Where is FRIDAY EKPO..
Where is SILVANUS OKPARA.
Where are ADEMOLA ADESHINA,FRIDAY EBOIGBE,ELAHO ??
Where is SAM OKWARAJI..who gave up his life playing at the national stadium for nigeria........

Ekpo,Oliha,Silva Okpala and Okwaraji definitely deserve to be among the top 30

TouchDown: Taiye Taiwo ahead of Celestine Babayaro?

Stupid list.

I think there's no basis. Taye Taiwo is good but cannot be ahead of Celestine Babayaro. This list is invalid!
Re: Nigeria’s 50 Greatest Footballers Of All Time By Supersports by Emmysteve(m): 2:27pm On Jan 06, 2013
This is certainly not a comprehensive list of Nigeria’s 50 Greatest Footballers
Of All Time......

afam4eva:
lol grin

You may be right though. people often confuse the fact that some people have been put in history books because of an event to mean that these people were one of the best eg Abiola etc
E.g ojukwu,Achebe 'ashiwere' etc

the reality is, if we all are to compile a list of nigeria 10 greatest, we surely going to differ. club performance also a criteria and not just performance with the national team.

How do you define a great footballer? For you to say Sám isnt a great footballer shows that you where not born then. Sir mathew Stanley in England is still taken as a football idol though his reign is almost 3 decades now.

Bro, Chidi Nwanu played just 20 games for Nigeria in official competition, including the 4 games he got at USA '94.
