Jay Jay Okocha Vs Kanu Nwankwo,who Is The Best by damoobaba: 1:16am On Jan 07, 2013
Jay Jay Okocha Vs Kanu Nwankwo,who is the best player to have ever played for Nigeria.

Jay Jay Okocha:A midfield marshal.when he plays ,you have this feeling or confidence that the team will hurt the opposing team,a leader anyday and of course an entertaining footballer.Even the great Ronaldinho said He learnt a lot of skills from Jay jay when they were playing together at PSG.He may have not played at very big clubs but that does not underestimate his potential.Remember Pele named him in his 50 greatest footballers list some years back.

Kanu Nwankwo (Papillo):Nigeria's golden boy.An enigma who has won it all both for club and country.Only few silverwares have eluded the Arochukwu born striker.The most decorated African footballer after Samuel Etoo Fills.Even his heart problem after the 1996 olympics didn't seem to slow him down. Always a thorn in the flesh of opposing defenders,Kanu established as an important member of the super eagles throughout his active playing days.

In your humble opinions,who do you think is the best Nigerian Footballer of all times.

Don't ask this question again. It's controversial. Both played great football for Nigeria and will always be missed.

Am sorry to sound biased bt ℓ̊ think its Jay Jay.He ℓ̊s the heartbeat of any team he finds himself.His replacement has still nt been found in the eagles right now.

Although the duo do not play in the same position, it's easy to surmise that J J Okocha is the more skilfull player.
The biggest difference between the two players however, is that kanu has won lots of trophies (including AFY & Champions League) and he has played for big clubsides while Okocha is nt jst as lucky wit trophies.

Jay Jay was highly rewarded and played more minutes that Kanu, Kanu practically spent almost 80% of his career on the bench

If kanu was still as fit as okocha he would hv continued bt okocha resigned when he is still very good in the pitch cool
Re: Jay Jay Okocha Vs Kanu Nwankwo,who Is The Best by Theben(m): 12:17pm On Nov 07, 2013
1. Kanu
2. Finidi
3. Amuneke
4. Yekini
5. Okocha
6. Enyeama
7. Yobo
8. Mutiu Adepoju
9. Segun Odegbami
10. Mikel Obi

These are my top ten Nigerian all time best. Okocha is the most Talented but could not judiciously utilize his footballing potentials.
Re: Jay Jay Okocha Vs Kanu Nwankwo,who Is The Best by babyboy3(m): 12:25pm On Nov 07, 2013
A striker that went to SIX AFCON and failed to scored one goal

Yeking won the Golden boot in 1992, 1994, scored in 1984, 1988, 1990

Kanu is not in the same class as Yekini

JJ Okocha ruled football in Nigeria when football itself was not appreciated. He was a natural and has mentored the likes of Ronaldinho, Zaha, etc. http://www.divanaija.com.ng/replaceable-jay-jay-okocha/

Kanu was loved and well pitied due to his health conditions but Okocha is a gem to envy
