Yak will get more goals than drogba playing for a top club

Drogba didn’t even average 1 goal in every 2 epl game ,and yes that doesn’t stop him from being world class or a great player ,but some deluded Chelsea fan are comparing him with Samuel eto ,I just laugh at them ,dude won’t even lace eto boots

Drogba 254 epl games ans 104 goals

Yakubu 252 epl games and 95 goals

If no be today, I never hear fhe guy name before.

Anything wey do am, na him luck be that. We kuku no get wetin we for use am do, same as that Obafemi guy

Them too like ritual in Edo especially when it comes to marriage

daveP:
Why not?

Drogba was compared to Igwe. If so, don't you think this is a more closer and precise comparism? Its true na. 8goals difference


I feel Yak was the better striker, odd as it stands o. I know Drogba oozes frenzy. But the epl stats alone...... Lol


So answer first


If Yak played in Chelsea or Man U, Liverpool, will he or wont surpass Drogba's goals?

Or better still, if they swapped clubs who will score higher?

Yunno we don't really hype Yak here.

daveP:
The disrespect to Thierry Henry by the Drogba Fans caused a comparism with our own Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

Yak vs Drogba


If Yak got such numbers playing for average teams, don't you feel he'd have surpassed Drogba's EPL numbers if he played for a top 4 team? And hence the better striker!?

Odunayaw:
Do you think this Stadium can attract spectators as easily as Uyo for example

You must be very foolish to suggest that we terminate a coach if he gets your team into Finals of Anc on the 2nd try. Let's be certain. Anytime nigeria terminate a coach prior to World cup, the end result is abysmal failure i.e 2002, 2010

Good afternoon.

As part of our commitment to transparency, probity and openness, I would like to brief Nigerians of events as they unfold in football development.

Firstly, a tragic note, as we lost the head of the ICT department, Mr. Tolulope Abe to complications arising from surgery.

May His soul rest in Peace.

We also conducted COVID-19 tests on all members of staff and four returned positive. While one has fully recovered and confirmed negative, others are in stable condition, receiving treatment with the full compliments of the NCDC....

Now. As we await the Federal Government's pronouncement on the resumption of football, the Federation has been in active discussions about possible friendly matches and I'm happy to say we have finally sealed two high profile matches for next month

On the 9th of October, the Super Eagles will play former African champions, Cote D'Ivoire in a friendly game, then face another African giant and former champions Tunisia, four days later, on the 13th.

Both games will be held in Austria for a few obvious reasons

Due to the COVID-19 protocols presently in place and the proximity of the bulk of our team as well, Austria was seen as an ideal venue. I'll have to stress as well, that ALL costs will be borne by the Football Federations of both Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire, as well as Tunisia

On the vacant positions in Nigerian football, I'm hopeful that a Technical Director will be announced soon, as we are still having extensive consultations.

With regards to a Coach for the Super Falcons, Africa's biggest female football team, Phillips Consulting, in charge of the recruitment process, are putting finishing touches to it and a Coach will be announced soon. This also applies to Coaches for the different cadres of our National Teams.

I'd like to ask that you tarry with us a while.
On the home scene, we have been working diligently to develop the league and I'm happy to say the League Management Company has signed a massive deal with a reputable organisation that should see the clubs and the league get empowered.

Also, the vacant position of the Chief Executive Officer for the league has been filled and will be announced in the coming days.

A few days ago, top members of the NFF Executive Committee had a vrtual meeting with NIKE, our kit makers, with regards to the new kits for the 2022 World Cup and all I can say now is: Wow.

The new designs are truly beautiful and will thrill the world again. Sincerely I cannot wait to see our male and female teams adorn them.

Now, let me use this opportunity to thank the members of the NFF Executive Committee. They have not only become friends but they are now more than family to me. Collectively, we labour to improve the fortunes of football in Nigeria.

To members of the Congress, I'd like to say a hearty "Thank You" as well. They not only support the drive but the mission, vision and direction of the Board. I cannot thank them enough.

To the Ministry of Youth and Sport Development AND the honorable minister Mr. Sunday Dare; thank you, boss. Your direction is flawless.

To both Sport Committees in the National Assembly, we are indeed grateful for your guidance and immeasurable support.

I'd also like to thank the Federal Government of Nigeria and President Muhammadu Buhari. The support for our work, football and sports in general is truly wonderful.

To our sponsors; thank you. Without you, I truly wonder where we would be now.

AITEO in particular; I doff my hat.

Thank you...
COVID-19 is still with us and it us important that we follow all health protocols and advisories diligently. I would like to recognize the true heroes of this fight, our frontline workers; the doctors, nurses and health professionals.

Words cannot express my gratitude to you...
...Finally, I'd like to ask Nigerians to continue to keep faith in us. We are not perfect and we certainly have had a few missteps now and then but we always try to do our best. Criticize us because that's the only way we can get better but always support us. We definitely...
...on your support and never take it for granted.

The dream is to conquer Africa at the next Nations Cup and qualify for the World Cup in 2022.

I'm certain, with your support, we will get there.

Again, thank you for your time and prayers.

God bless us all.
