"No disrespect to the likes of Segun Odegbami, Felix Owolabi, and Christian Chukwu, but they don’t tick all boxes, and also, they only appeal to older generations" These men you forgot to mention actually made the super eagles you see and acknowledge today Tick all boxes? You have to understand football back then was bigger than the champions league(European Cup) and that clubs really "owned" players unlike nowadays That's the reason pele,garrincha and socrates are revered in brazil Maradona only won one senior trophy for Argentina yet Argentines rever him more than messi As for your question the GOAT of Nigerian football hands down is rashidi yekini 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jay Jay Okocha is the greatest while Mikel and Kanu remain the most decorated. Meanwhile, this the real GOAT. You can argue with your keypad if you're don't agree.

Nwankwo Kanu. Simple as ABC - top, top player who featured for major teams in every league he played. Ajax, Inter Milan and Arsenal. Won trophies with these teams and was a core part of the first team. John Mikel Obi was just a passenger in a trophy-winning Chelsea team who sacrificed his inborn creativity and guile on the ball for simple and safe (make e no spoil for my hand) football in the middle of the pitch. Based on how his career started and the talent he had, I'm disappointed that although Mikel won trophies during his career, he just did NOT turn out to be the technical entertaining player everyone who watched him during the U-20s World Cup thought he would be. As for Okocha, I just think he was a very unserious player who made poor professional decisions throughout his career. At the peak of his career, Okocha could've had his pick of elite clubs, but he prefered to remain a local champion with Bolton. How many Champions League games did he play throughout his career? Very few, I believe. He was very entertaining, but it wasn't his fault - he played football at a time when football wasn't just about output (goals and assists) 3 Likes |

Okocha is just a celebrity footballer without tangible football achievements. Kanu is the best of them all. Mikel is just a fortunate player. If we are to rate footballers critically, Okocha can not be in 10 in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Kanu is actually more successful than Mikel, and when it comes to talent or natural ability Okocha and Kanu are way way ahead of Mikel. Obi was just lucky to be at the right club at the right time, try watch some of Kanu's old clips from his Ajax days you will understand how talented Kanu was. 1 Like |
