They have come again. That's how they overate players and give Nigerians false hope. What has the player in question done to warrant this ambiguous comparison? He has great talent, no doubts, but to begin now to compare home with Yekini is a misplaced accolade.

Av u seen the English team recently?.....all those hyped young players are doing wonders. If we don't rate him highly, who will?

peeps4u:



LOL @ Stanley Okoro.
Some even likened him to Messi.

yeah it true. They made so much noise of him then. Lol

DRPAIT123:

You get sense jare,someone even called him GOAT yesterday all because he scored a hat trick

That's a big problem common among football stakeholders, especially the sports journalists who give Nigerians false hope

He's not the new yekini......he's just victor osimhen, and he's gonna be better than yekini.

Even yekini prays for that

It may be

He is Victor not Yekini
Let him create a niche for himself in peace abeg

Choi.... Nigerian messi

I've not seen much of the boy's game but I think he is good.

This thread makes me happy. Rashidi Yekini is finally receiving the recognition that he deserves.

Slow down please...Yeking was a fvcking GOD...before you compare Victor to him, please allow Victor to grow in the game properly and record solid achievements...make u na no go spoil Victor career o!

alekside:
Una don start again. Let the boy progress at his own pace. Dont destroy him with your hype.

Bros most Nigerians are very idiotic. They simply cannot watch with their putrid mouths closed.

thesicilian:
After just one match.

He is good for that very position, I have been recommending him for that for 2 years now.

I just read the posts and saw how people were speaking too quickly!

Emenike did well, congrats to him for his achieve. But comparing him to Yekini at the time was too soon...Premature

Indeed, amazing. Yekini was a great striker. May his soul rest in peace.

Yakubu also did well at club level, even national level...But naija no gree forgive am for mistake against Korea..That same mistake was made by other famous footballers, nobody crucify them.

Anyone ready to play for Nigeria must be open to serious bad talk

MI Abaga made it stuck in our memory when he said in his song " Keep missing, Yakubu

That cannot be 1.5 goals per game. For now I'm too busy to calculate.
