DarkCaesar:
He was the only one with no trophy to show for it
Even Kanu entertained and still got trophies and award to show for it. Osimhen is greater than him already, there is no bad blood about that.

tiswell:
laurels is the yardstick for measuring greatness in football.

Victor,as it stands now has achieved more in football than JJ.

Okocha won Africa Cup of Nations, olympic gold and played in three world cups

Nigerian journalist claims Osimhen is now greater than Victor Osimhen


Following the CAF Men's Player of the Year triumph over Mohammed Salah and Achraf Hakimi, a renowned Nigerian journalist claimed Victor Osimhen has surpassed JJ Okocha's legacy in Nigerian football.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ended Nigeria’s 24-year wait for a CAF Men’s Footballer of the Year Award, and this has prompted comparisons with other legends of the sport, more specifically Jay Jay Okocha, who, despite his tremendous efforts, never received the award.

Osimhen’s triumph
The APOTY gong rewarded an incredible year for the striker, which not many, if any, players from the country had ever attained.


As cannot be overemphasised, he led Napoli to their first scudetto triumph since Maradona called Naples home, doing it similarly to D10S by scoring the most goals in the league.

Osimhen picked up the Capoocanoniere alongside the league title in a season where he became the highest-scoring African in the entirety of Serie A’s history, and this, in tandem with being named the best player in the continent by CAF, has earned him high praise from a renowned Nigerian journalist.

.

Respected sports journalist Steve Dede, elated by Osimhen’s achievements, stated boldly that the striker had moved past the revered Okocha on the rankings of the greatest-ever players to have donned several shades of green for the Super Eagles.

“Victor Osimhen just moved past Okocha in the ranking of the greatest-ever Nigerian players,” Steve said on X.

Pressed further by Pulse Sports’ Senior Editor Solace Chukwu, who, on his list of the top ten greatest Nigerian footballers of all time, named Jay Jay at 10th, Steve Dede submitted that he was substituting Okocha on said ranking, with Osimhen making an entry at 10th.

Mozegee:
Foolishness is a sin, comparing Okocha with Osimehin just because of mere CAF award , meaning you are just out of reality. Most of the guys that won that award can't be compared with Jay jay. When you mention football, JAY Jay name must be called.

Zumarocket:
No doubt. He his. Jj was good but not good enough

flokii:
That 13 million he spent to Japa to UK would have set up something tangible in Nigeria which if managed properly can grow in a space of 5-10 years into multi-million naira investment.

We have agro processing bisinesses begging for investments yet our youths keep rushing to pay UK government and their universities millions over certificate they might end up not using.. what really is wrong with Nigerians?.

Raskimonojendor:
The Igbos are confused.

- Today they want Biafria and Nigeria is a zoo. Tomorrow, they want Nigeria.

- Today, Lagos is no man's land, tomorrow Lagos belongs to the yorubas and we are just here for business.

- Today, Yoruba are cowards. Tomorrow, SE governors are in Lagos to beg Tinubu and Sanwo Olu to temper justice with mercy.

- Today yorubas are timid. Tomorrow during election, yorubas are beating their heads like drum and they cry victimization.

Couldntfigurean:
When in doubt,just attack Igbo,The normal Nigeria solution to problems
Yoruba youth protest against buhari during End sars,eh it’s ibo people
Yoruba drop bomb on Hausa worshippers,let’s blame an igbo posted in faraway Ibadan

Them do una Nigerians with the name igbo
Always in yall mouths like toothache

Tufiakwa to your and whatever rotten household you are from

Ozommadu:
Same you that wished Jonathan dead only to enthron clueless buhari who wrecked the country?

How much was fuel, rice, gas??

Love fire

Ok, that's mostly vi and lekki which is a very small fraction of lagos, I stay on the mainland and work on the island, I can see my office in this picture. But these are mostly edited to make it look more beautiful, the island is a good place and is actually beautiful but in general Lagos is just like every other state in Nigeria.
95 percent of us in lagos can afford to stay in places in these pictures even tho we work these, they are mainly foreign worker and politician, and some Nigerian billionaire leaving there. The rest of us just come work n leave.

DeepSight:
I I have been to most of these cities and this is simply untrue. None of them is an equal for Lagos, the only one that mildly competes is Nairobi and thats mostly on account of its truly international airport and truly international character as a travel and tourist hub.

You dared to mention Windhoek. Quaint, but mostly empty place.

iReddington:
You're probably a village dwelling IPOB terrorist that has never been to any of these places or even stepped foot in an Intl Airport, but you will parrot whatever your coevals and delusional hypocritical airheads controlling you from Finland brainwashes you loafers with.

ElSudani:
P&G is leaving, GSK is leaving that is the sort of news they are happy about. Moody's Analytics says economic outlook is better suddenly they are foaming in the mouth. What sort of sad people are these?

ElSudani:
Moody's ratings is not ordinary newspaper report. I bet you would have been jubilating if the report was negative.
Some real reforms are going on in Nigeria we don't have to be negative all the time.

sukkot:
oh am not trying to make you feel inferior, you are doing a good job of that yourself, I mean all 230 million people are looking for a way to JAPA out of the utopia you are painting. Imagine that ? 230 million people trying to japa out of heaven

essentialone:
Show the beautiful places on Lagos Mainland

sukkot:
i call bullshit. It’s the people not the economics. The same people find themselves in Dubai of all places and take to armed robbery and cultism, 5 Nigerian guys tried to rob a Dubai bank and now we have been banned in Dubai. In Ghana they are there kidnapping people and Ghanaians now hate us, in South Africa they are there kidnapping and selling drugs and doing cult activity, all the jails in Asia is brimming full with Nigerians

At some point in time you have to get past the denial and accept that the people are demonic.

10mobile:
Why are most Nigerians like this? If someone challenges you based on facts, you resort to quarrels. Now, tell me again that I typed garbage.

To be honest, I suspect that some of those pictures are not taken even in Africa.

sukkot:
its a great place but its the people in it thats the problem. if you deport all the people and fill it up with 10 million oyinbos it would look like heaven. mohammed will be shitting and washing his gbola with kettle beside every road, nnamdi will be trying to sell you fufu iphone in alaba or computer village, kazeem the omonile will extort you like crazy

10mobile:
Catapault, you can do better reporting. Tell us a place in Lagos represented in each photo - like the twin tower. To be honest, I suspect that some of those pictures are not taken even in Africa.

But, if all these are Lagos, even if the photos are over edited, they are good to help us visualize having such a country.

Stargangz:
Abidjan, Dakar, Nairobi, Dar Es Salaam, Luanda, Lusaka, Harare, Kigali, Accra, Gaborone, Windhoek, Blantyre, Addis Ababa, Port Louis, Francistown, Bulawayo & Kampala all have a better skyline than your overhyped Lagos, Lagos is an advanced slum. I've not even mentioned the major cities in North Africa and South Africa. Lagos can do better.

Mosba:
It's colonial masters that did everything that's why Obi cannot live in Anambra but settled in Lagos to enjoy the fruits of his slave colonial master's labour

elujah1:
Remember, the same was said about the last administration.
