Abfinest007:
work without result.at the end hw many trophies did you win

AFCON 1994
Olympic gold 1996.

Prime Minister Cup (Turkey/Fernabace)
Ataturk Cup (Turkey)

Champion's Trophy (PSG France)

UEFA Intertoto Cup (PSG France).

AFCON Golden Boot 2004.

Not to mention AFCON best player 2004 and numerous other personal awards.

He had a great career.

Remember Europe was not as open for foreign players as it is now.

Okocha started from a third tier club called Borussia Neunkirchen in 1990. There were many good players who never made it out of third tier football back then. The world was a different place for African players in 1990.
That is why George Weah has remained so grateful to Arsene Wenger for taking him to Monaco in 1988 where he was until 1992.

Imagine if Okocha was taken from Enugu Rangers to Monaco in 1990.

How many ballon d'or did the dribbling got you?

What if the racism broke him? He felt he had to do something to regain his selfworth. Things like racism can make you feel worthless and unnecessarily self conscious.

That is the rude awakening anyine who has ever lived in a white man countries encounter. Lived o, not visit.
When forms you fill for jobs or a lot of service would ask you to tick your race.

nothing wring with being black

once you embrace that

what others think of you won't matter

That is why I like the Koreans

Dem no send your papa message whether you like them or not

Okay, Okocha was a good skillful player. But not a great player.

But we Nigerians dey exaggerate.

Some go say na him teach Ronaldinho how to dribble...really?

He Sabi play pass Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Zidane, Giggs and others.

Some go say e suppose win balloon d'Or...how? With what Performance abeg. If na by legover, robinho suppose win like 3.

Football is about end product... Okocha no too get. Kanu had a better career.
