For any news media to write or say “kanu is the most decorated africa player“ i think the need to sack all their sport reporters and employ new once that are current
I wont say i want to give it to Etoo my answer is ETOO IS THE MOST DECORATED AFRICA PLAYER for now

Why do people like debating things that are very obvious.
Why not open a thread to ask: where is the capital of Nigeria?

Truthfully,I love papilo more because of his off-field activities than his on-field activities.to compare papilo to eto'o is blasphemy.its just crazy to think kanu even comes close to eto'o.eto'o has won everything kanu has won in two folds except the 93' youth cup and even still has his career ongoing not like kanu who has retired.basis for comparison is non-existent

Eto has scored more goals for Real Marjorca alone than what Kanu has scored in the Last 12 years
Re: WHO IS MOST DECORATED -KANU OR ETOO??? by Nobody: 3:21pm On Jun 21, 2011
^^^^
and scored 2 crucial goals in two: equalizer(brought back a losing team to life) in one, and opening goal(curtain raiser to eventual victory) in another, and was also instrumental to getting to finals in the third!

Re: WHO IS MOST DECORATED -KANU OR ETOO??? by YoruIgbo(m): 3:15am On Jun 22, 2011
Well if you look at it from one angle the answer is Kanu but if you look at it from another angle the answer is Eto'o but if you look at it from the center it's neither Kanu nor Eto'o grin cheesy grin

Most Decorated sound like past tense grin cheesy because Kalu is now past tense and since Eto'o is still playing, he lies in the present continuous, Decorated will now change to Decorating grin cheesy

But my guy Eto'o give Kalu serious Gap!! Comparing Eto'o and Kalu is like comparing Army and Boys Scout grin
Re: WHO IS MOST DECORATED -KANU OR ETOO??? by Nobody: 7:27am On Jun 22, 2011
Who compares Eto'o to Kanu? This is a grand joke.Etoo is to be compared to Messi and Rons.Etoo has even scored most crucial goals than both.He even has won most trophies than the magician.Etoo is the best striker in the world.4get about what the racial soccer world says.Etoos striking equal is Delima Ronaldo.Anyways,I'm a Nigerian.
Re: WHO IS MOST DECORATED -KANU OR ETOO??? by ademolathe(m): 8:27am On Jun 22, 2011
Etoo is many mile ahead of any Africa footballer living or dead
Re: WHO IS MOST DECORATED -KANU OR ETOO??? by RuuDie(m): 8:30am On Jun 22, 2011
Everytime the FIFA/UEFA WFOTY awards come by and I do not see Samuel Eto'o Fils on the final shortlist, I am disappointed ~ whether Mallorca, Barca, Inter. . . . . the man has always been right up there with the big performers - the consistency is just amazing!

you have said it all, in addition all these trophies Eto'o won, he did not win any seating on the bench, he was a very active player in all the teams he has played for unlike our own kanu who won the UCL from the bench in Ajax, we can call Kanu the most decorated Nigerian player not Africa,
thanks for your analysis,
