Jay Jay Okocha was the best 10 Nigeria had and even up till now, I don't think Nigerians have gotten any replacement for him... When it comes to world rating, he was still one of the best during his time. But the only problem he had was; 1. He hardly scores 2. His not a white 3. He didn't negotiate with MTN! Overhypn is even an understatement to compare with what he did for Nigeria! Let's always learn to appreciate what we have cos am very sure Okocha would have been much appreciated and celebrated if he's a white... |

alexis007:Don't be ridiculous! Who is Paul Pogba beside a kick and follow and pass and move midfielder? The only thing going for Pogba is his youthful energy. I rate Pogba in the leagues of the Balotellis: players that require a star-studded squad to excel. Pogba lest you forget is a Man U reject. Okocha made many poor career choices but the fact that he was a football artist par excellence is not in doubt. If you had cited Hazard, then one could have consider...Pogba nada! |

otipoju:Beautiful nonsense. It is apparent that you have powerful writing skills but unfortunately, you lack the brain to back it up. You accuse rossike of being fallacious yet you refuse to back the crux of your argument with any evidence or historical fact. You emphasized that Okocha deliverately avoided the big clubs. But you repeatedly failed to mention a single big club that tabled an offer and he declined. Your 2 major deductions were based on purely personal opinion: 1) That Okocha knowingly avoided top clubs. You failed to give any proof whatsoever. 2) Greatness is measured by trophies won. Another contentious statement. If that was the case, Mikel should have been the African footballer of the year. But we all know that the current holder, Yaya Toure is a better player. The same argument holds for Samuel Eto'o and Okocha during their prime. Eto'o won more trophies but Okocha was arguably the better and more complete player. Unfortunately, the award swung to the player with highest accolades in those years. Next time, before you embark on an argument, put on your thinking cap. Respect! 1 Like |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by DonJupo(m): 7:24am On Oct 21, 2014 |
It ain't a surprise seeing your post but i feel you should have made an open argument then conclude with your choice of favorable players and not try to condemn our "loyalty" to JJ. You are not far from the truth when you say you feel he is over hyped but thats not to say that millions of football fans what turned up en-mass to watch JJ during his playing days are fools. You definitly aint wiser that FIFA that included him as one of the all time best neither do you know better than me who enjoyed watching the Super Eagle during JJ's playing days. Yes, he didnt adorn jersies of top european clubs nor win trophies but I still put it to you that only a few do the kinda magic he creates with the ball on his feet. If you are one of those that believe football is fun, artistery, beautiful and therapeutic then you should accept that JJ gave beauty and artistery to the Super Eagles and all the teams he was fortunate to play for. Football legends both dead and alive have had one or two uplifting words to say about the wonders of JJ but if you dont agree to those words, it's your loss not ours. I dont wont to argue too much on this issue and will conclude by saying, George Weah paved way for African greatness, Eto and Drogba are goal machines and pride to Africa, Prince of Monaco (Ikpeba) did his bits, King Kanu in all arears remains a name that will never be forgotten, Yaya Toure, Adebayor and others are in their own greatness still making Africa proud and JJ likewise was a magician and in his own way added pride to Africa so my guy, wether you like it or not, despite not playing for great teams, JJ remains a living legend to African football and the world at large and nothing you say is gonna change that.You are entitled to hold on to your opinion though cos I stand to gain nothing convincing you. I sign out my stating that Emperor JJ remains my mentor and I call him the "Grand Commander Of The Federal Republic Of Midfielders". I rest my case. |

otipoju: You are entitled to your opinion but don't expect everyone to accept your individual assessment as the yardstick for rating success. I'm not a big football fan but by extention of your argument you could as well say Tuface or Psquare are the greatest musicians ever to come out of Nigeria judging by the number of awards they've received. And I will like to ask you how many grammies did Bob Marley win?. How many grammies did Majeck Mashek win?. How many grammies did Lucky Dube win?. If Okocha ''preferred to enjoy himself and entertain the spectators'' how does that stop him being one of the greatest footballer?. JJ Okocha is certainly one of the greatest footballer of all time! |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by inspirati: 1:34pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
Was Okocha great? Yes, and No. In the Nigerian/African context, YES. In the world context, I doubt it. Greatest is not measured by the name of your club, or its achievement, but by what you're able to make out of every game. Maradona at his best played for which club again? So, you'll say he's not great because he never played much for a big club? |

Bull Sh*t All these small boys talking. Okocha was a great player. Put someone exactly like Okocha in Barcelona of today, Real Madrid or Arsenal, then you will know. Okocha is a play maker just like Messi, Ronaldo name it. Have you seen anyone who currently measure up to Okocha in the current Nigerian team Watch this and call it an hype https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBaH_9vJETg 1 Like |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by robosky02(m): 5:06pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
okocha should have been named african best twice but CAF politics denied him in 1998 Mustapher Haji was named african footballer ahead of Okocha the guy was so surprised how can you name me the best when Okocha is here his only consolation was that ok maybe its cos of the goal i scored for morrocco and okocha didnt score. at the world cup france 98. again in 2003/4 it was given to eto for flimsy excus forget CAF politics he can only be compared to ROGER MILLAR AND GEROGE WEAR in african ranking but thank God for BBC "he was sooooo goood they named him twicce" |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by smallgod(m): 5:38pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
Okocha was a great footballer. He was definitely one of the best of his time because of his extraordinary dribbling ability and passing skills. However, he cannot be referred to as the greatest of all time. No way! It takes more than an overwhelming dribbling acumen and passing skills to be crowned greatest ever. You need a certain kind of hunger, a hunger for great results, that Baba Okocha always seemed to lack.nHe never reallyu went into BEAST MODE during the game. Watch Pele, Maradonna, Ronaldo (The Phenomenon), Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and other greats to understand what BEAST MODE means. By the way, check out www.remainintheknow..co.uk for entertaining and informative posts on global current and past affairs. |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by Mixty: 8:33pm On Oct 28, 2014 |
chic2pimp:You need to go back to your English teacher to ask for a refund of your tuition fees. There is a distinct difference between 'arguably better' and 'better'. Stop spending your valuable time on Nairaland, thereby exposing your ignorance. Instead, go and enrol for a good English lesson. A valuable advice, I give you. |
