Nigeria is yet to produce a prolific striker like this.

he was so excited that he ran into the post and almost tore the net.

JingoOAU:
The highest scorer for Nigeria in Green White Green....RIP

Since his retirement and death, I dnt know why Nigerian strikers has not been able to surpass his goal tally for Nigeria...Emenike and Obafemi Martins that we tot would, flopped in the end

The system that sharpened Yekini into an unstoppable goal machine no longer exists in Nig.
In mid 80's when he started from shooting stars, he could miss goals inside the 6 yards box. But consistent started with the German coach Manfred Hoener of Maroc '88, who taught him to build his skinny long legs muscles into powerful muscles was the beginning of his destructive and terror to defenders. Then he went African Sports of Ivory Coast and scoring abilities kept growing. He continued with coaching Westerhof who finally built a structure to feed him constantly.
When Sunday Oliseh was discovered and added to the team, who could feed him from the backline with a tailor measured, defence splitting pass. The opponents net was in trouble.
5yrs of constantly improving on their prev level took with Westerhof allowed the team to reach its zenith and no defence could stop them in world.
