Awww this is so sweet.....BBC's Peter Okwoche shared pictures of Brazilian football fan rocking a Nigerian Jersey with Kanu's name behind.Kanu is not even at the Rio Olympics,he retired from football long time ago.But his fans are still celebrating him."

This guy told me "If Kanu were Brazilian, he'd have be considered alongside Pele, Maradona and Messi" Kanu is his favourite player of all time and BTW he's Brazilian!"......Peter Okwoche from Brazil.


......Kanu is still loved and admired by plenty fans.

So good to see a Nigerian Jersey outside the chores of Africa.
Even more beautiful is the jersey of a Nigerian legend being worn by a non African.
Up Naija!

Three reasons why I still loved Kanu after Olympic '96;

* He knew how to fall in the penalty box.

* He knew how to entertain fans, esp when the Eagles were leading with 2 goals or more.

* His unbelievable angle strike during Arsenal's 49 unbeaten run.





I'm surprised this thread is yet to reach fp.



Sometimes I wonder if he was just awesome at dribbling and inviting fouls in the 18 or just a genius diver
Re: Brazilian Wearing "KANU" Nigerian Jersey At RIO Olympics by EpicMaurice(m): 9:19am On Aug 12, 2016
sheddy03:

correction! KANU is a Nigerian, not a biafran!! the world know KANU as a Nigerian, you know KANU as a biafran. Kanu's fans worldwide know KANU as a Nigerian, not as a biafran. ask KANU if he is a Nigerian and wants to remain a Nigerian, he will answer YES. most Igbo elites like to remain with Nigeria, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
assuming we are talking about caught drug pushers now, you'll be the one shouting its all this biafran people. Because it's football legend, he has become a nigerian.


Dont qoute me oh. Am not in the mood for that.

Gbam for #1 and #2. At the peak of his career in 2005-2008, I can' count the number of penalties he got for Eagles even with sub appearances. I remember a match (a qualifier) I was screaming that the coach should pls introduce Kanu if only to get us a penalty.

As for his entertainment value, gbam again. I like him. His touches are entertaining. He knows when to play seriously and when to entertain.

The third point for me is his personality. He has this mature, likeable personality. That was why I was surprised to see him slap a Nigerien or Namibian player in a match I can't remember in 2008.

By the way, I have always heard that Kanu is idolized in Brazil. Someone said he entered a hotel in Brazil about 5 years ago and when he introduced himself as a Nigerian, everyone started admiring him as Kanu's countryman and asking about Kanu.

O boy kpror!
Kanu dat cudnt score a single goal in 9 major tournaments(3 World Cup and 6 nations cup) and
You are here saying Fulani dis,Biafra dat.
U don brush?
World greatest strikers Neva went to plenty tournaments like dat without leaving a mark.
Which kain plenty hype be dat.
Okocha had 7 goals in four nations cup,Aghahowa also had seven nations cup goals in three nations cup tournaments.
Kanu is good in his own right.
If they say he is good,we'll agree.
Not comparing him to Pele and the rest.
Even Nigerian best footballer Okocha,never get dat kain accolades.
Kanu remains the most successful and most decorated Nigerian player. His contribution to team Nigeria is unmatched. He won under 17 world cup in Japan '93. His legendary strike in 1996 Olympics can't be forgotten. He helped the country to qualify for many tournaments and scored some couple of goals too. You are right for saying that he never scored in the nation's cup but he is like every other player with a dark side in their career. George Waeh won world's footballer of the year award without participating in any world cup. Ronaldo De lima didn't win any UEFA champions league. Messi is yet to win a trophy with his national team. Okocha didn't win any CAF award which Kanu won twice. I could go on and on.
In conclusion, Papilo is a Legend and he is still making us proud.
