Efetobore Sodji! One of the worst players to ever come out of Nigeria oh wait, is he from Nigeria sef? Anyways, he once played for the super eagles and was a total flop from the first whistle.

Olumide Harris never made it to d super eagles. He was a member of d wombling n fumbling flying eagles team of 95. Nigeria was initially billed to host d WYC in 95 before d outbreak of meningitis, n d hosting was moved to Qatar. B4 that, we have hosted d AYC, where olumide harris , manga Muhammad , Patrick Pascal etc where in d team. D guy was shooting star player then.

I remember olumide harris, his miss in the u17 95 tourney was worse than that of yakubu in 2010 world cup, as he balloned a ball on the opponents goal line in to "safety"

Chukwu Ndukwe was called up by Bonfrere Jo for the 2000 AFCON. He even scored against Cameroon in the final.

I cant blame festus for bring ogbeche, cause Nigerians wanted him after d overhead kick against Paraguay....., It would av bin bad 2 drop a player like dat wen d fans loved his moment of magic.. Remains d biggest flop sha 2 me

Not just the Paraguay friendly, we were continuously shown his two splendid goals for PSG then, off of the passes of Okocha. I'm sure Okocha himself would have said a thing or two about him to have influenced his selection then.

Ninilowo: Their is this one over hyped fellow in the 1994 SE that no one has ever mentioned and that is......... CHIDI NWANU. I could remember the uncountable number of trips made to his base by Westerhof and some NFA members then. But at the world cup proper, I didn't see much of his impact on the field of play.

Pls! Chidi nwanu and uche okechukwu formed the best defensive partnership we could ever have, for me. You never noticed him because he did his work quietly and efficiently. Also, as a late call up, he wasn't vocal and in the news like the Keshis and Amokachies.

Nope, check again. I know Okocha scored the equalizer, but it was Chukwu who pulled one back on the stroke of half time.

Great youth careers, not much at senior level
Have always wondered why this is so. You watch Christopher Nwosu, Oladimeji Lawal, Chris Ohenhen, Andrew Aikhomogbe, Etim Esin, Philip Osondu, Tunde Charity, Chrisanthus Macaulay, and you say these are SE materials but you don't see them again.
