Happy birthday Nigeria:NIGERIA'S TOP 10 "GREATEST" FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF ALL TIME
Ever since Nigeria gained her independence in 1960 from Great Britain, Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles formerly known as the Green Eagles have continue to grow from strength to strength. Although Nigeria waited until the '70s before fully making an impact in the world of football, the Super Eagles have indeed come a long way. During April 1994, the Super Eagles of Nigeria ranked 5th in the FIFA World Rankings, the highest ranking achieved by an African football team.

Lolz,,,no number 1,,u cm stop @ 2,anyhw sha,d gr8test na jay jay okocha

How wud JJ Okocha be d greatest Nigerian player eva wen on that list we have players who have won league titles, champion league trophies, FA cups.

Haba, Okocha was an amazing entertainer bt if u wanna pick the best among the list, its definitely not him

Where is Okocha, Muda Lawal and Adokie Amasiamaka?

It's okocha.
Most players don't deserve to be on that list

If you said this in public, you'd be lynched my an Angry mob of Men, Women & Children alike... & guess what
nobody I repeat "NOBODY" would come to your aid.

Wow! There is no number one?

I can't believe they didn't include 'Chief Justice' Adokiye Amaesimaka in that list. The most skillful winger ever to grace a football field anywhere in the world.

^ Oh please, how many African footballer of the year awards did he win? Abi dem never dey give award when hin dey play? With due respect to him as I admit never watching him play but we all grew up hearing of great footballing names like Henry Nwosu, Christian Chukwu, Muda Lawal and Chris Ohenhen but none is on that list but you expect Adoke who relatively informed observers like me never really heard of until quite recently when his opinionated comments started popping up and mostly over his works in the Rivers political circle to be on the list? Come on now.

You're obviously very young. By the way, not too many outright wingers win African, European or World footballer of the year awards as their roles are very specialised. As for mentioning Chris Ohenhen over Adokiye, I'll just leave that to others who know better to correct you. Lastly, whoever taught you about Christian Chukwu and Muda Lawal should have also taught you about Amaesimaka if they really knew their football.

Many thanks.

^ Actually I didnt pick Chris Ohenhen over Adokiye, I only mentioned some other names we grew up hearing of. I remember Chris was still playing with Compostella in Spain while I was in secondary school but was never thought good enough by the national coaches. My point was even though he wasnt a great footballer in my days, I'd grown up hearing of his exploits in previous competition I was too young to have witnessed but Adokiye's name I honestly never heard. Due respect to him.

very obvious these are the players that you grow up to know actively playing.

its now I know John Mikel is just an over hyped player, he does not deserve to be in the list of all time greats...
