they all domited African football bt azezaat also av an edge over them bcox she took African football to Europe..
now spainish clubs n other European clubs av signing out female stars n we do see them in female UCL games unlike before dt dey were in unknown European clubs....dts evolution

Anigreat:

Two legends

When it comes to sports, I'm an illiterate. But you see the names - Nwankwo kanu and J J Okocha, I know them very well

As at now, many of what we have are pigeons, not eagles.

Holly Gram real matters. WTF MAN

Fools I hate them

Papilo has made us proud

mmadu5:
Fools I hate them

May the Lord heal your hateful heart

Like for Kanu Nwakwo
Share for Okocha

Cute

One of the best players we ever had

Cute

When the super eagles and falcons were winning 5 nil up...
Now even to see two goals for eagles match na war

Eweeeeeey!

The glory days of Super Eagles where we witnessed top notch professional display of football artistry and entertainment, not these days wey Ighalo go see free goal, kick ball enter goal kick, put hand for head begin call referee say the ball touch defender hand say make them dash am penalty... I tire for the lackluster behavior wey I dey see the eagles play with these days

Let me handle your writing jobs, signature below, thanks

Wow

Is Mercy Akide that tall or is Kanu standing on a lower ground

Papilo goal against Brazil in the 1996 Olympics semi final is one of the smartest goal in football history. His celebration after the goal was iconic. Papilo you too much....I was playing a game of chess online with an opponent from Serbia.
The man sent me a message " how is okocha / kanu ?".

These were times Nigerian footballers dominated both genders of football in Africa.. Papilo had skills, trickery and poise on the pitch while mercy had sheer force and brutal strength..hopefully with the continued reign of asisat and the emergence of more male stars, we will climb to the pinnacle of being the best in africa in both genders once again..Viva Nigeria�

Uncle naptu2 on beat..

Legends !
