Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by Ibime(m): 8:21pm On Nov 30, 2008 |
Can a 33 year old man with a rotund body size return from a season long injury like the one Yakubu suffered today? |

Who remembers Yakubu from the Nigerian FA Cup back in the days? Was it NEPA Lagos he played for then? I remember one dude -James Terna - who was playing for NEPA Lagos. This dinosaur claimed to be 14. According to Sports Souvenir(a popular Naija sports weekly), European scouts took one look at him and decided the lie was too much. |

who remembers Wilson Oruma scoring an equaliser for Bendel Insurance against Stationary Stores in Lagos to force a replay in FA Challenge cup 1991 before he captained the U-17 team to Japan 1993 as a 16 year old. Or Victor Ikpeba whose wife Atinuke died at the age of 36 while Ikpeba was 24 and they had an 11 year old daughter |

Who remembers Julius 'the somersaulting Aghahowa who was reported to be a police corporal before he played for the flying eagles at Nig 99.haba The guy can hardly jump Roger Milla's record of oldest world cup scorer would have been in serious danger if only our players gave their actually ages at the beginning of their careers. |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by tkb417(m): 8:43am On Dec 01, 2008 |

Can a 33 year old man with a rotund body size return from a season long injury like the one Yakubu suffered today?He will but how long it takes is the problem. Remember the same thing happened to Amokachi. |

as in seriously what u guys are doing aint right at all i dont care. does he share with me his wage weekly? Fyi, i dont carry ur passport!! im a Ghanian abi u don see me support ur super eagles b4? |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by Ibime(m): 2:17pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
tosinadeda: life threatening ogini? Injury na injury, we only highlight his age because injury to a 33 year old is not the same as injury to a 26 year old. Just ask Ronaldo Lima. God bless him and I hope he can recover his career, but as far as I am concerned, this is a blessing in disguise for Super Eagles. If he can take his brothers Utaka and Kanu with him, then we might actually have a chance with younger legs. |

Ibime: we got to be careful of other's misfortune(s). |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by 4Play(m): 2:58pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
When you are as old as the Yak, achilles tendon injury na life threatening injury. |

4 Play: make baba yak go recover for village. goodluck old chap . stay off the pounded yam |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by DrKitaun(m): 9:05pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
trust me, the Yak would soon be back . . . at least Roger Milla played footie till he was 50 something 4play he played for Okomu Oil before playing for Julius Berger then and was the hottest thing in our local league . . . |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by 4Play(m): 9:13pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Dr Kitaun: Was it for Okomu Oil he shone for in the Cup? I knew he played for a Lagos club but I thought it was NEPA Lagos. He's probably in his early 30s. |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by tobozi: 9:41pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
no mind yak,for club d guy go dey play with all his life, but 4 country d guy go dey play big boy game.make he go rest jo |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by A40(m): 9:50pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
tobozi:My point exactly! this is why i don't even think he would be missed |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by Ibime(m): 10:41pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Yak was a painter back in 1995. The chap that discovered him said "I found him as a poor man, he was a painter back then. He had good skills but he was raw so I trained him for a couple of years and then he went on to play in the local league". I remember reading this on Nigeriaworld.com a few years ago. He was at Okomu Oil from 1995 to 1998 before going to Julius Berger. |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by 4Play(m): 10:51pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
Person fit be painter in their early teens though. So his pro career dates back 13 years, that he means he was a child prodigy playing professional football at 13. The one I never really understood was Sunday Oliseh. Apparently, he played in some University tourney in the late 90s. People kept referring to him as a graduate. He must have been an academic prodigy. |
Re: Yakubu Is Finished (His Injury) by Ibime(m): 11:16pm On Dec 01, 2008 |
4 Play: The guy is multi-talented. What of Olofinjana who has a degree in Chemical Engineering from LASU? Although to be fair to him, he only started his football career at 21, thats why he is still going strong. I remember Igenewari George who was in Comprehensive Secondary School which was near my house in Borokiri, PH. We used to go and play there everyday. When he was in SS3, I must have been 7 years old, yet he was supposed to be 16 in Ecuador 1995 . . . . I turned 13 in 1996 . . . |

Come, na true say NFA strictly instruct our U17 boys make dem no comot their shirts when they score, so people no go see their hairy chests? Was it Philip Osondu or Odartey Lamptey that reacted badly to growth hormones? Club medics thought the guy was a growing teenager and tried to enhance his height, like they did to Messi. As for the Yak, I hope he recovers quickly, although, he is no use to Nigeria anymore |
