Yakubu, the only group of people well known to be insultive without relenting are the Obi people. They are not tired of insulting people no matter how long. It is there trademark and that is what gives them life

I have seen worse miss. Nigerians need to let go, it’s been over a decade.

Sirmwill:

ecolime:
What made the miss more painful for Nigerians was his reaction.

He was actually smiling Like Wtf?

The least he could have done was to fake a sober look.

One could be having the worst moment of his life and still be having a smile..
Not all smiles are due to happiness..

Most Nigerians are generally passionate about football. Imagine Some still going to his page to insult him till now. Lol.

Emotional intelligence ought to have made him fake a sober look.

If he can't fake it, he should have faced or lied flat on the ground. That would have cleared the mess.

christejames:

Nigerians hardly forget, even though they easily forgive

Nigerians easily forget that is why they are always quick to vote bad leaders again and again.
You will see how Nigerians will line up under the sun to vote Buhari again if he comes back for elections right now.

mr man Aiyenbeni is a legend

[See wetin person say make we forget even Hom self fit forget am for in life....gbaya be still oooquote author=GistMedia0 post=128753958]In a recent interview, former Nigerian football star Yakubu Aiyegbeni has revealed that he continues to receive messages and criticisms from fans, years after his infamous miss during the 2010 FIFA World Cup match against South Korea.

The moment, etched into football history, occurred during Nigeria's crucial group stage game against South Korea. With the score tied at 2-2 and a spot in the knockout stages on the line, Aiyegbeni found himself with what seemed like an open goal opportunity. However, to the shock of fans worldwide, he missed the chance, leaving Nigeria unable to secure the much-needed victory.

Despite this moment happening over a decade ago, Aiyegbeni expressed his surprise at the ongoing messages he receives about the miss. "I still get messages from people, different messages," he stated in the interview. "It's surprising how that moment still sticks with people, even after all these years."

The striker, who had a successful career playing for clubs like Everton and Portsmouth in the English Premier League, admitted that the miss was a tough moment in his career. "Of course, it was a big moment, and I wish it had gone differently. But in football, you have highs and lows," he remarked.

You are right. He was actually in shock at that moment but should have been smarter.

If he had dropped flat on the ground with some dramatic reaction the psychological effect on Nigerians would been totally different.

The area boys on my street would be like "Na juju confam. Even Yakubu himself couldn't believe it and wanted to commit suicide after the match".

Dsimmer:
Lol

Nigerians are quite passionate about football generally. Brazilians are same with football too.

I wonder who still messaged him on his media page to insult him till now Dem no wan gree.

People remind him on every Instagram post he make. I have witnessed that in numbers of times.

Aiyegbeni also complains that he played crucial games and scored crucial goals in the qualifiers of Korea-Japan 2002, yet after all his efforts, he was dropped for the major tournament -- and worse, people forget that.

But instead, only his miss in 2010 seems to telescope his whole career which he deems unfair.

One word for you: Dumb

Yakubu, if you are reading this, better you know that it will take like four generations to forgive and forget that miss.

Go and ask a certain GODWIN ODIYE. He will tell you.

Oga make una dey cool down. Nobody dey attack you. Even Iwobi wey underperform last month, we don free am. You wan join Mikel begin miss yarn now just to stay relevant

Combined with that useless chewing gum he was chewing like a LovePeddler.

He shouldn't also gree for them like Sadiq clapped back if they always come to his page to insult him till now over a football miss that happened over 14 years ago. Lol. It's not as if he stole anyone's money for some to be coming to his media page to still be insulting him. Lol.

Most Nigerians forgave him but didn't forget. That miss is up there amongst the worst miss of the century
