Lol this guy with is local English go and look Ghana league commentators those guy are good the reason I don't watch Nigeria league is because of the commentators I can do a better job more than then. The guy on vandrenzzer TV is good but due to corruption dey just being bringing nonsense calling them commentators . example about this guy
The ball enh! Is going enh! To the number 7 enh what a shot enh! Chai grin
Keep quiet. You were not born when he was at the stage. So,your opinion don't matter.

No Ghanaian commentator nears him in football commentary,except late Joe Lartey of GBC. He was good. But not in the mould of Ernest Okonkwo.

Thanks for the great memories. But actually, Ernest Okonkwo’s preferred nickname for Emmanuel Okala is
Man Mountain. And then there’s Elastic Henry Nwosu.

All in all, Ernest Okonkwo is irreplaceable.

African Nations Cup 94' was the first football tournament I watched and became mentally aware that football is a beautiful game, then USA 94, Atlanta 96 and so on till date. But I have always loved history in whatever form it comes. And this post is an interesting history lesson which I have never come across, except for the players and Ex president shagari.
This post na for senior bros generation them. Salute & kudos

His commentary is so appealing to the ears even after 3 decades. However, I think Emmanuel Etim is doing a good job as well

Legendary commentator.

Your post is like you are saying Igbos are the best. When this lead to bashing, no cry o.
So one cannot state the obvious. If person praise you on what you know how well to do. It is not a crime

The man uses his words like Peter Drury of nowadays. You can imagine his own in the 70s and 80s.

No one comes close!

"Mathematical" Odegbami, "Chairman" Chukwu etc. was coined by him

I still remember this his quote; " He nearly missed it. He nearly kicked it. What a miskick"

The bolded is simply an opinion. The only commentator who came close to Ernest Okonkwo was Sabastian Ofurum.

It's still your personal opinion... Okonkwo been the best is not a statement of Fact...


To me Fabio Olanipekun is more Revered generally by today's Sportscasters like Godwin Enakhena, Femi Obong Daniel, Kelechi kelele and others... Also Emma Odikpo, Paul Ogazi and Shina Abimbobola are in Class on their own...
