10. Shola Ameobi - I'm not happy Keshi used Ameobi instead of Mba...Ameobi's patriotism smacks of hypocrisy only after he was rejected by England.

Let me think again...

kstyle2: MIKEL and uchebo
Uchebo was tipped as the next big thing after slice bread instead it turned out to be a 4getful event 4 d flavour wannabe

Syenite: 1) Efan Ekoku: Widely tipped prio to 1994 AFCON to be better than Yekini.Only game he played was against Zaire in Qfinal where he missed a very glaring chance. He was subsequently returned to d bench and fastened with a seat belt. That was d only game he played for Nigeria even though he made the party to 1994 world cup.

2) Jonathan Akpoborie:The 1985 U17 winner, managed to break into the Super Eagles in late 1990s. He den had to contend with our then inform striker, Victor Ikpeba.Akpoborie saw few games and never really lived up to his rating. Things got worse for him with the coming of Julius Aghahowa and Ikpeba's former U17 team mate, Benedict Akuegbu. Akpoborie lost his place in d Super Eagles.

3) Victor Agali: Nigeria's 2000 Olympics hit man when he paired with Aghahowa, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Pius Ikedia. Yekini left a very big shoe to b filled and Nigerians believed the huge striker was d man. He did feature in 2002 AFCON bt was sent home due to disciplinery action after first game in 2004 AFCON after we lost our opening game to Morocco. Agali and Babayaro kissed good bye to the Super Eagles after dat incidence.

4) Batholomew Ogbeche: One of d greatest errors in Nigeria's world cup selection history. The then 18yrs old Ogbeche had just entered lime light after a one season performance at PSG. A bicycle kick that saw d ball hit d cross-bar in a pre-world cup friendly against Scotland was all Coach Onigbinde saw that made him include Ogbeche in d party to 2002 WC and d rest is history.

5) Christian Ndubuisi Obodo: Fondly called bundle of skills was Ogbeche's team mate at 2001AYC. He was seen as a likely replacement for JJ Okocha. He hardly lived up to the expectations from Nigerians and was dropped from Super Eagles.

6) Joseph Akpala: Emerged highest goal scorer in d Belgian league for 2 straight seasons. He finally got a SE call up after so much pressure on d coaching crew. He did not leave up to his ranking and so was dropped only to b recalled for the 2013 confederations cup in Brazil. You and I saw his performance at dat tourney.

jibbish: Onigbingbe.... D seller of Snails don kom

bankoleben: Furo Iyeneme, Eric Ejiofor, Friday Ekpo, Femi Opabunmi, Romanus Orjinta, Pius Ikedia, Ogbonna Kanu

JuanDeDios:
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.

MadCow1: Did Kanu Nwankwo not have a Brother in the Eagles at some point that couldn't even pass as a ball boy talk less of Football player.

Lailai no be High chief bring Geoge o, na Christian chukwu, 2004 Nations cup in tunisia

Lily4star:

Lolz, he should ve given birth by now then, howcome we ve not heard in the news, abi Naija Journalist den gateway the news?

ismokeweed:
Are u well? Furo didn't even play that match. Chukwu ndukwe scored the first goal before okocha scored the equalizer. And Ndukwe was pretty prolific 4 mamelodi sundowns.

Simplefaithy:
"am i well" weytin bring dat one come?? Nd by dia comment we shall know them. Oooop! I dnt even see it b4, Ur name av zed it all

bigass: There was this guy that people thought could replace Okocha. He wears 10 plaits his hair. he became so fat. i have forgotten his name

nolongtin: furo iyeneme, gidion imagudu,julius akpele,abdul sule,isaac semitoje, shagari,emmanuel ebiede,ajibade babalade (kunde),jero shapoke,sam ayorinde ,bosun ayeni,felix aladesanmi,blessing kaku,gbenga okunowo,henry onwuzurike,duke udi,all had potentials which never turned out well for the eagles.
jero got injured in our last world cup match with holland and never can back,duke udi,emma ebiede hard mad skill which we enjoyed in the local league but never showed with the big boys.
lesson to be learnt is -skill alone is never enuf to make it big,u need the determination of a taribo,attitude of an amokachi,skils of a kanu and okocha to make it in the big league.
