There is no difference between Kanu and Obi, they won all there is to win but Okocha was the most Skillfull and the GOAT.

I don't think people understand the meaning and definition of successful. Mikel is the most successful player among them.

Mikel never rose from being an average player. He shouldn't be mentioned when listing Nigeria's greatest footballers.
You can say he won wore trophies than any other, football is a team sport, not an individual.
How many times has he even won man of the match.

According to FIFA, a player is recognised by his personal achievement and not team/club achievement therefore Kanu is the greatest Nigerian footballer ever by virtue of winning African footballer of the year twice followed by Okocha who also achieved an individual accolade of winning EPL player of the month.
Mikel doesn't come close to top 10 despite winning those trophies while at Chelsea, he wasn't recognised for any individual achievement, there were seasons Messi won player of the year and Ballon d'Or without winning trophy but due to his individual efforts.

Kanu for me.
He's a great guy on and off the pitch. I picked him over others due to his philanthropy off the pitch.

I was waiting to read this.
Kanu is my role model. He is my favourite sports personality. I respect Kanu a lot for his heart of gold. He is humane and that wows me more than anything. It's because of Kanu that I support Arsenal. His Heart Foundation has saved a lot of life. He does wonder with the ball too. I hold Kanu in high esteem so he is my Numero Uno.

How please, is there anything Mikel won that Kanu didn't win?

Kanu won the African Footballer Of the Year 2wice

Won two national team titles.

Came in from heart surgery and pounced on Wenger's invisible with a stunning glory glory performance.

Went to average Portsmouth and won an FA cup.
He has an intercontinental cup, Mikel hasn't.

He has 16 trophies to his cabinet, plus 2 accolades no Nigerian in history has this...

Only Eto and Yaya has more in Africa

Even Mikel and Okocha both know it's Kanu Nwankwo.

Kanu was a very balanced and valuable player. It was either he scored in a match or assisted to get a very crucial goal. He did this in Ajax, Arsenal and even for the national team.

Till date, no player can match Papilo's record. He was just balanced!
funny you people!! The most susscesful is what us talking about Valdez of Barcelona is more successful than neure of bayen but we all know the best among the two .. Click to the op even Mikel won silver as the second best to messi in under 20 in which no Nigeria player have gotten such... Respect the bro.

Kanu was named the 6th best player in the world in 1996.....doubt if any other Nigerian player has till date attained that level in the annual award....to add to this, he remains the most decorated Nigerian player ever......however, naming Nigerian most successful player ever is not something somebody who didn't watch Nigerian players accross three generations would be able to do successfully
