forray: Respect man. Na the guy find my trouble. And I just showed him what let him have a taste of how feels to insult people needlessly. Pele has his opinion You have yours and I have mine. For a player to be considered great, he has to be talented,play at the top clubs, and win major trophies and personal honours consistently by achieving extraordinary feats. 1 Like |

oladosuphemmy:Naaa. As to why big clubs didn't get him?? I like to think of it as .okocha was raw. No displine .nothing.... Just a man who wanted to play football. Either for kano pillars or r.madrid. He. Just wnted to play and get paid. Now. In terms of individual skills .would. You say okocha doesn't match up to the likes of xavi .iniesta .I can forgive you if you say he doesn't match pirlo obviously...but the reaallly... See balotelli. Everybody knows what he can do . But he isn't just "there" for no reason at all. Okocha was just unlucky.. At least balo's getting "his last chance" at liverpool. |

All of you hating on okocha need to watch "hs best of okocha" now go and watch "best of mikel" if e even hs best sef.... Then you'll state clearly how a player with trophies is "greater" than a player with raw unadulterated talent. Who's only crime was wanting to entertain us watching...smh. Let us not forget. #LordHaveMercy |

Okocha is no where near nigeria's g8est Player dt won zero trophies and zero individual acolade. Evn b4 he retired We question his commitment to d national team. Stats were so much against him. In football, so fa ure playing centralmidfield, wings, a PLAYMAKER, or a striker to be categorised as a great player d numbers must speak for u. Ronaidinho, messi, iniesta,xavi, pirlo,figo, snieder, gerrard, lampard, toure yaya, schwientiger, etc r all gr8 PLAYMAKER . okocha ws also a playmaker but he is never to be compared to those players. You might wanna argue dat its because he is an african dats y he nt so much recognised players like nwanko kanu won d ucl with ajax, is goal scoring record ws gr8, he played 4 very good clubs (ajax, arsenal intermillan), rash1idi yekini: he is still d Nigeria's all tym goalscorer, vctor qa(d prince of monaco), Drogba:wat cn i say, one of d best players to comeout of africa. he ws playing 4 marselle b/4 his talent spotted by chelsea.Yaya toure:former asec mimosa plyer, plyed 4 barca and he is currently a top performer @manc now world clz. Samuel etoo: world class striker in his days played 4 Real mad., barca and chelsea. Dese r all world clz plyers, dat deir talent wz recognized by top teams inspite of been an african. |

PSG is big club and okocha was the most expensive african footballer when he moved there. If he wasn't that good PSG no go sign am. The Great ronaldinho was an understudy of jay jay. Why nigerians like hating there own I WON'T BE SUPRISED IF SOMEONE START HATING ON MIKEL TOMORROW 1 Like |

I think. Iam done defending jay jay mah niqqah... Yu'all need to go watch "best of okocha" clips. 50thousand naira says . Your mouth'll open and say he's undoubtedly GREAT" even without your brain realising it #InvoluntaryMovement. A man that single handedly lifted a club. A man that breezed past the best defence line ups like jesus walked on water .a man. That was every manager's nightmare to play against simply because they didn't have any idea on how to contain him. A man that dribbled from one end of the pitch to another that the ref had to use style to give him yellow card. A man who could end any great defender's career in less thn 5 seconds. A man who's movements were so liquid you could feel them flow out of your eyes. He's game was smooth like poetry#literally.. Until he fires the ball up or makes the wrong pass. You never want to blink when you're watching him cos you might miss a whole year of entertainment if yu dare. And now some people now open their mouths and say he's not "great" just becos he chose to entertain you . Great. Una Well Done. Good. Luck with your mikel o. Since he's greater than okocha becos he has more trophies.. #GodBlessYouAll 3 Likes |

When poverty has bedridden your generation and you are here talking about a family man who never had issues with you.Why saying that Okocha is just over hyped?

buskie13: Because French speaking nations have produced better players than english speaking nations. The Samuel etoos, Didier drogba, Freddie kanoute, Patrick mboma, etc . don't forget George weah, rashidi yekini, kanu nwankwo, abedi pele, Victor ikpeba were from english speaking countries so what are we saying? |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by golddeejay(m): 10:12pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
Okocha was a very good and skillful player. But it is an injustice to compare him with great players lyk Ronaldinho,figo,zidane...even if these players dd not possess as much skills as Okocha like most nigerians like to blif, they sure maximized their skills n carried their teams sometymz almost individually...they performed exeptionally n consistently at the biggest clubs and at the highest level every week with results to show...goals, awards, trophies. Okocha showed the world a glimpse of a footballer he would have been at bolton but it was little to late plus it was bolton. Football is majorly abt result, the entertainment part of football is a side attraction. The diff btw these grt players and Okocha is that okocha focussed more on the entertainment part of the game while they focussed on the result part |

abatically:noted....but for de past decade....it has been on de French's side.....maybe why Jay Jay didn't win it was because he was unsuccessful at club level... |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by Kog45(m): 10:14pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
rashygenius:Nobody is comparing Mikel with Okocha but d simple question is who is successful btw d duo and you gave a very good answer but you still went ahead to call your Father yeye man. |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by andyanders: 10:16pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
abatically: Listen, when Okocha came to England, he was made the Captain of his Bolton Wanderers and he collected most valuable player of the month several times in English Premiership league. If Okocha wasn't good, would they have given him Captain band? Yobo was another Nigeria that did that. Okocha was one of the best Free kick deadly weapon during his days. Have we had such a player in Nigeria's squard since he left? No. Op is just useless and bringing this issue up when the guy has gone for retirement. |

Mehn use ur Mb and time wisely and stop misbehaving. I as a person, am proud of okocha at least as a Nigerian that one of our own is up there competing with ur so called"best" |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by Nobody: 11:30pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
otipoju: You logic is good, but can be misleading if followed to the letter, cos that would mean a player like Mikel (and Paulo Ferrera), who's won the EPL, UCL, UEL and the AFCON is a great player. Even though he sat on the bench in most of this competitions (barring the AFCON). A great player should be more than trophies won. 1 Like |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by abatically(m): 11:50pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
buskie13: Because in the last decade French speaking nations have produced better players than the English speaking competitors. Should we then ignore a deserving player and give it to an undeserved player? The same way lots of Nigerians were saying Mikel should have won the African player of the year 2013 when it was very very obvious Yaya Toure is a better deserving player. 2011-2013: Yaya Toure 2010: Samuel Eto'o against Asamoah Gyan 2009: Didier Drogba against Samuel Eto'o 2008: Emmanuel Adebayor against Aboutrika 2007: Frederick kanoute against Michael Esssien 2006: Didier Drogba against Samuel Eto'o 2005: Samuel Eto'o against Didier Drogba 2004: Samuel Eto'o against Didier Drogba 2003: Didier Drogba against Jay Jay Okocha It is very obvious French speaking nations have produced better players in the last decade. Between 1992 and 1999, this award was won by only English speaking players (except Mustapha Hadji who won it in 1998) but nobody said it was partiality. |
Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by otipoju(m): 11:51pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
vfactor: Yes. I totally agree with you. We call such players like Ferrera 's "bawon kun Ijo" because they do nothing exceptional. Criteria for greatness. 1. Superior skills 2. Playing for the top teams or leading darkhorses to glory. 3. Winning major trophies 4. Winning personal accolades So you must use your superior skills to perform exploits by winning things on the biggest stages to be considered a great. Okocha had the skills to be the greatest footballer ever but because the other ingredients were missing,he cannot be classified as great. That is my submission. 2 Likes |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by 76Naira(m): 3:10am On Oct 20, 2014 |
@ OP, please what have you done with your life? Share with us before you qualify to judge Okocha. Okocha never said he was the best. He just enjoyed football naturally; something that game is begging for these days. Right now it is more about the money than the skilled players. Be you naive or just plain forgetful, Okocha was in his own class. You might need YouTube help to cure your amnesia. You picked the wrong Nigeria hero to judge. You lost this one already. 3 Likes |

Re: Okocha Annoying Hype by lastpage: 4:17am On Oct 20, 2014 |
toecyne:The bolded above is actually "YOUR POINT"... .....and l dare say, it is POINTLESS! Okocha is Okocha, and will always be remembered as OKOCHA! No one can be Okocha.... he is that good they named him TWICE! Jay Jay was a master of the round leather, like it or not, he belongs in a class of his own. Since his "retirement' tell me one "complete mid-fielder" that Nigeria has produced, who commanded the mid-field, like he did? Mikel was expected to step into hi shoes but since he joined Chelsea, his game changed dramatically. Coupled with fame, money and ego, TODAY, Mikel Obi is a shadow of himself (Juts watch him against Messi at the World Cup under-age finals ) Please leave Okocha alone, his legacy lives with him. BTW: Who you be sef, to be saying Okocha is overhyped? Did you ever play soccer at even street levels? Mtchew! Lastpage! 1 Like |
