Is Emmanuel Emenike The Heir To Rashidi Yekini by Lempeh(m): 4:51pm On Feb 06, 2013
With His Current form and performance for the Super Eagles of nigeria in the on going African Cup of Nations, Spartak Moscow striker
Emmanuel Emenike has been an Eye Catching to many football fan in the country and have been creating bubbles around the corner, comparing
him with the Legendary Rashidi Yekini.
After taking these in to consideration, i can see a similar fact about the two. As a striker(Yekini) during his Era, he has always been
praised for his hard work, and has been quoted by the Caf president Issa Hayatou as a man who has gave everything for his country during
the time of his death.Though his death was a shock of "the whole African football" as quoted by bbcfootball.com

Rashidi Yekini was a Fantastic and Prolific goal scorer, scoring 37 goals in 58 apperance in his international career, his a player who is powerful and fearless and i can Emenike possesing such qualities, he is also a player who strong with the ball, fearless and also a deadly
finisher. Today i think we have a striker who is trying to come some miles close to how good was the legendary Yekini was, With his Powerful, Pacy , fearless and Finising ability. The status speaks for it's self 30 goals in 50 matches for Karabukspor in Turkey,18 goals in 37 matches for Spatark Moscow, and also a joint top scorer at the 2013 On goning African Cup of Nation.

Cheers!!!

he's not even close - yekini was a beast - on a day like this, yekini is scoring a hatrick or 4 goals and rasheed yekini did not need deflections to score free kicks - the ball waltzed into the net with the same trajectory of a laser-guided missile!

truly early days... Yekini was an accomplished goal poacher grin grin asides that he can turn a loose ball into a blistering goal opportunity in the blink of an eye. even on one foot, Yekini stood like a tree. and for a tall dude he was agile

Sorry Yekini is a Yoruba
Emenike is an IGBO with tick blood! While comparing the two?
Re: Is Emmanuel Emenike The Heir To Rashidi Yekini by Nobody: 6:01pm On Feb 06, 2013
Emmanuel Emenike....
*Sounds like Amunike..
*More like yekini.


Both names got I/K/E/N

If E means E-mprovement......

Then.... KIN is more like 'next of kin'

Thence...... He can be a better version of yekini.

Lets just say this much, this naija team would be vastly different without him.

The guy is the HEIR. He just needs a couple more showings and he's got it.

I believe u are joking.how many great goals did yekini scored?how many assist did he contribute to d team in general?yekini was just a player who topped 9 with little contribution to the team.yekini was not a "hustler" like emenike.when yekini doesn't score,u can't see him in d field,but on d contrary to emenike.if emenike isn't scoring ,u see him create d assist or u see him trouble d defence.pls how fantastic was d goal yekini scored in 94 world
cup?watch d 2 players b4 comparing them.tans
