vislabraye:

Kanu is still the most decorated footballer in Africa ( Eto is close to him ).

SirVee:

Whatsoever illwind that is blowing (especially the Super Eagles) Naija's soccer today was caused by Gen. Sani Abacha!
Abacha's stupidly withdrew Nigeria from the Nations cup in 1996 and caused CAF to ban us from the 1998 competition in Burkina Faso. We were champion in 1994, and could not defend our title in 1996 courtesy of dictator Sani Abacha.
These were the golden years on Nigerian football. Abacha's folly is still costing us dearly!

I am sure Kanu would have scored in the 1996 & 1998 editions at least.
Papillo, if you had not mentioned this, we may not have known. Sincerely it is a record no player your status would envy, coupled with the fact that you have won the African footballer of the year twice. But take nothing away from King Kanu, he is a star!

Papillo may be given a chance to score in the 2012 edition (?)

I mean we could have won in 3ce times in a row before Egypt did and would have had an African footballer of the year for 98. Okocha would have had the opportunity to win the African footballer of the Year.

babaowo:

we cant have it all in this life,no matter how, human would still have
things to cry on. that is why d rich also cry. sorry MR ( I WAS DETERMINED)

ow11:

That is simply NOT true!

You guys should just shut up and talk sense! Amodu ruined everything in that Nations Cup and we all know that. Kanu is the most respected African Player that has won everything in Europe and remember he is not a selfish Player. All those years he hasnt scored, he had the highest Assists so what are you childish contributors talking about? Either by force or whatever, yu guys should never insult Kanu! He's not my brother, but he's a great Niegrian who has brought us smiles, I have come to realise that so many contributors that come to this Nairaland are either students or un-employed people who stay myopic and dont know what to talk about and the only time you get an opportunity to talk, you talk RUBBISH under the anonymity of Internet!

fxmaxony:

Oh Kanu, d respectable, why did you use this ugly remark to remind us of the woes of the AFCON, all who blames AMODU stop it pls, our problem is in the football house.

football management is poor in Nigeria. wont you cry for a country that has not signed the coach that will take them to world cup in june/july 2010 by the month of february 2010.

Blue Magic:

Even when he had the opportunity to score in a penalty shoot out in 2002 nations cup he goofed. Kanu used to be d man, now he is a ghost of himself. He needs to hang up his boots or his boots will hang him!

Sprumbaba:

Kanu is not complaining. Scoring that goals does not bring money to his pocket.

THE GUY IS SAYING HE COULD NOT FULFILL A DREAM OF SCORING IN NATIONS CUP.

This is his personal wish and people are leaving negative comments.

Builder:

As for me and my house, we will serve and respect Sir papilo ,
