If it's gonna be just one Nigerian, Kanu Nwankwo should make the list instead of Jay Jay Okocha. Reason? Jay Jay was a skilful player (a very good dribbler and midfielder) of course but Kanu was practically an all-rounder (a decent dribbler, goal poacher, decent midfielder, a dependable leader AND a winner of several club and national trophies). There you have it 👍🏽

How Okocha, who was solely an entertainer will be called an African legend but excluding Kanu Nwankwo who was both an achiever and entertainer still baffles me , even Mikel Obi achieved more than Okocha
