OP always research well before posting. Kanu never captained Nigeria for 16 years. he was never in the super Eagles team until after Atlanta 96. so how could he have been a captain when he was not even ripe for the supper Eagle. Uche okechukwu took over from Stephen keshi, then to Austin eguavon before Sunday oliseh who us to Mali 2002, before Austin okocha, followed by kanu who only had a short stint as a captain of the super Eagles.

. He was a member of and later captained the Nigerian national team for 16 years from 1994 until 2010.
Sorry my guy, this is not true.
Kanu played his first senior match in 1995 at Wembley stadium against England.
Within this time period (1994-2010)
Many other players captained Super Eagles, Austin Eguavoen, Uche Okechuchwu, Sunday Oliseh, J.J Okocha before Kanu

Please edit that statement.

You mean southern Nigeria, though the SE and SS triumph more in sporting activities. I'll like to recognize Imo and Delta states for being at the forefront of producing great talent for this nation.

Christian Chu

Christan Chukwu without doubt.

Stephen Keshi captained the longer than Chukwu and also successful than Chukwu.
Chukwu's reign was from the later part of the "70s-81.
After failing to qualify for 1982 World Cup in which he was actually called from retirement in the final match against AlGeria.
Keshi started from 1984 to 1994, equaling Chukwu's Nations Cup success and going to qualify for the first World Cup.
Keshi reigned over generations of players and kept his Captaincy and Charisma.
He also led the exodus of Nigerian Pros abroad and succeeded.
Keshi is the Top gun.

The Olympic football was an age grade tournament for under 23.

Atlanta Olympics team was U-23 and not Super Eagles.
Uche Okechukwu was Super Eagles captain that time after Austin Eguavoen retired.
Okechukwu was drafted to the Olympics team as an over aged player but Kanu retained that captainship.

I disagree. Chukwu is our greatest captain. He also led his team to win the 1980 Nations Cup. He is also Nigeria's greatest and highest scoring centre back and best free kick taker.
No my man Keshi remained d highest goal scoring centre back.Pls check archives.
