He is the highest rated Nigerian in the history of his own sport. He was dominant in his position for several years and many believe the most skilled/complete player in his position.
I don't think you will find any other Nigerian whose all time rank in his sport is as high AND was also great for as long. He checks the boxes for both sustained excellence and peak performance, as well as historical ranking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m8OeZWbcOE Is it this guy? just checked him out now that's a talented human.. and he moves real good for the big man position he plays.. I didn't watch him but I've heard his name when I was still playing basketball.. Top pick
afrodoc2: Greatest Nigerian athlete of all time? Not a bad one but i ultimately would have to disagree.
She is up there because of her achievement, and it was one of my proudest moments as a Nigerian but i don't think she had that sustained excellence to be the numero uno of all time..
I was thinking about picking someone from the boxing part.. but I don't know that sports well . The most mentioned name in naija football Jay Jay Okocha surely don't deserve it. I would have picked Mikel as he served Nigeria well but he's not that great talent wise. Another sport is weight lifting but I don't know anyone there and that's why I picked her. Who's your pick doc?
afrodoc2: His story is still being written. He is on the way there but if he retires today he would not be regarded as an all time great. But that is by the way.
Another question. Who is the greatest Nigerian sportsman of all time? And why?
Please pardon me in case of any grammatical error. My story will be long, pls kindly bear with me and read to the finishing point. I'm ready to accept any insulting comments, it doesn't matter to me now.
I'm a 25 years old guy, not really financially buoyant but an average, money never dries in my pocket and back account as a hustler. Am currently still in part time program in university.
Now let me go straight to the point, here is my story. I started dating one beautiful girl back then in 2014, we were in love until something came up. There was a time I came home and she visited, that was the beginning of our separation, my mother warned me to stay away from her that she doesn't like her.
Honestly, I didn't know how to breakup with her without hurting her because she loved and cared for me so much. I love my mother so much and I listen to her as well. So, I started to avoid her, reducing my number of calls with her, sometimes when I visited home I won't tell her. All these to make her change her mind but all to no avail, I couldn't tell her what's up so that she won't hate my mother and make both of them enemies of each other.
She noticed my unprecedented and unusual behaviors, she asked me what has she done I only told her that I was very busy and concentrating on something. She later got fade up and started minding her own business because sometimes she would call I won't pick her calls, so she decided to let me be.
Fast forward to early this year, she went for a business trip and returned, so I decided to pay her a visit because even though we are no longer in love but we are still friends. I was hoping to visit her in her shop but she wasn't there, she told me to come to her apartment, I went there, we gist and had funs, she started making a move to me and we eventually had an unprotected sex.
I was thinking that she was a big girl and can take care of herself but after one month plus she called me and told me that she was pregnant, I was speechless and couldn't believe her, she threatened to report the case to my mother if I didn't show up and proffer solutions, my mind jumped. I hurried to her place and she showed me the pregnancy test result, we calculated the months and it was exactly the day I had sex with her, from that day till the month is exactly what was written on the paper.
To cut the story short, I got lost in thought until she waked me from my daydream, I told her straight that I wasn't ready for that, she should do something about it, so both of us agreed to terminate it, it was done successfully, I wasted much money on that moment but it didn't bother me.
So, after a while she called me and told me the sudden changes in her business that money disappeared from her hands always. She went home and complained to her dad, her dad suggested they should visit a native doctor to find out what was the problem. They visited the native doctor and he apparently exposed and told her what she did, that the pregnancy she terminated was the reason behind her misfortune. He listed all the things she will buy for cleansing and the total money involved. She called me and told me the development and demanded my own contribution (money), at that moment I didn't really have money to provide and she couldn't believe me.
Now am afraid if she will angrily expose me because she told her people that the person that got her the pregnancy is not around he traveled abroad. I haven't answered her since then because I have been busy thinking about my mistake, regretting the day I visited her, crying had I know. I returned but I didn't tell her so she won't visit me. Right now am having a double mind if I should adhere to what she told me by contributing money for the stuff, but the other hand, am asking for God's mercy upon my life, so if I should contribute money now it means I will be committing sin upon sin. I don't really know what to do now, I told her that I will visit her whenever I return to discuss with her but I haven't done that.
Presently I have a fiancee am dating now, my mother knows about her and she accepted her as well, also thinking about settling down with her when the time comes. I will hurt and loose her if what I did exposed.
Pls advice me my good people before I commit suicide and end everything, you can insult me if you like, it doesn't matter to me now, am very desperate human being now. The native doctor even told her to tell whoever that got her the pregnancy to also do his own cleansing or else he will encounter problems in life.
Should I also listen to the native doctor man or seek God's mercy, of whose report shall I believe..? Will there really be any problem, and what do I tell her now.
No wonder your mom don't want you to marry her.. see as she's blackmailing with native doctor say this and that..
nihilistjnr: Larride, surely you're not paid enough to be collecting these insults and cusses on behalf of your chairmen.
If I was actively plugged into the system and the loot was reaching me on the regular, I would actually be flaunting it in the faces of these niggas, instead of trying to defend my principals.
Las las na money man must make, so when dey post their Memes, I counter by posting my Millions.
But if I no dey see the loot, and my ogas at the top dey chop, while obainojazz and fellow scummies continue to cast dirt on my name, then why the fück am I the punching bag?
You're here trying to prove that you are a man of honour in a room full crooks, like anybody in sports section really cares
Obainojazz dey tackle you from Australia riding on top of a kangaroo, with afrodoc2 chilling in the pouch.
Diggz dey ride untop Stephanie for London, Ibime dey run Manchester as the Walter White of chloroquine
Roland17 and Raumdeueter dey Texas border carrying kponkpon working on a top secret border control project..
Seankafor is chatting shït from efcc detention cell via a smuggled phone, and Leyqute taking breaks between shouting owoda and counting ticket stubs at the park to vomit on the thread.
These niggas don't really care about what you have to say bruv. Just show us the money make we hail you, and if there's no money to show, you may be in the wrong industry
If I see Tinubu now.. I'll dobale make loot reach me smalk
Ask people if their standard of living us better now than before.. People are angry but can't talk before DSS arrest them.. the small sport section where we yarn truths.. He keeps posting Twitter evidence and some other stuffs like we no get eyes.

And you're still an Arsenal fan?��♂️ Do you know you will buy Benz if you leave Arsenal today? �
Izzou just summarize and put my own agenda forward for this entire discourse.
Same here..he hit the nail on the head.. I'm a Christian and no pastor will scam me or anything but I don't criticize people pay tax.. dem no complain and they were not forced
Ibime: There is one of my friend in UK who insist on paying 10% of his Gross income as tithe. I asked him, why not on Net income, but he insist it must be Gross.
So he will pay 20% income tax, 12% National Insurance, then 10% Tithe
Some people are in 40% tax bracket and will be paying 40% Income tax, 12% National Insurance, Council tax (£200 per month), then another 10% Tithe on top. Is that not stüpidity.
Why will I be paying such level of tax to my Govt, then still go and add another 10% for Jewish medieval Govt. Am I taking care of Levites?
Plus other personal expenses.. He no try.. If I'm a Nigerian earning 100k. I'll use that 10% and be my own government small.. that can buy me fuel for generator for one to two weeks
I still believe some churches need funding though at least till our country gets things right. If you've been to orphanages and schools run by churches.. you'll appreciate them but they are mostly Anglican and Catholic churches.
Ezeego61: I have the best qualifications which is money. That's why y'all go to school for it. So if I can't migrate to Canada or Australia, then I go ahead to buy dominica or St Kitts citizenship.
This tithing issue doesn't make sense.. I won't criticize people that do but I don't see how I'll earn let's say 100k naira per month.. PIT 7%... I'll now pay tithe 10 percent again for tithe
diggz: Enforced tithing or not... every institution dey this table directly or indirectly, not just churches.
You no dey pay tax to your state and FG for naija? Are they accountable to you in anyway?
I can bet 90percent of church goers no dey pay tithe.. some no even dey pay complete All these naija pastors and tithe brouhaha na just story.. na donations churches dey use get money..
iamoyindamola: Until they start auditing churches and mosques people will know billions of naira are entering those bodies. Place heavy tax of them too
Money wey government go steal Let them give it to bill gate foundation or each church should be constructing a road every year
diggz: I am surprised say Ibime never add TD Jake's and co inside. Catholic church nko etc.
or Jinny Swaggart wey knack another woman .. One of America biggest pastors.. Kenneth Hagin preached he saw Jesus twice. He was given a state burial in US... Most of the orphanages in Nigeria are either run or sponsored by churches.. Govt don't look after orphans or abandoned children.. Top primary and secondary schools in Anambra are run by churches.. Anambra is top five in waec and Jamb.. Top two private uni are Christian schools... If people up North even try like this.. they for better
Ibime: You are a fool if you follow an exploiter of people, and those who lie on the pulpit. As long as you dey church with an ethical pastor, no sele. Not like Adeboye that lied that God told him about Corona but he didn't want to say anything if not Interpol will arrest him
The list I put up there are all Fraudsters!
I never attend oyedepo or Adeboye church but you on the wrong calling people that do fools.. Makes you worse than the pastorpreneurs That's why there's freedom of association and religion.. Nigerian Christians will still get sense and practice Christianity like their western counterparts.. Also, many of us are not even better than some people that attend these churches..
