Okocha talented player that won nothing? Kanu is far more better than okocha, argue with your ogogoro master of a father..

..they was a time a former CAF president said that he regretted not giving Okocha the African best player award but gave it to samuel eto... that it's Okocha that deserved to win the award at that time

It’s a catch 22, Okocha would not have gotten the recognition he got if he didn’t move to The EPL. Small a club as Bolton was it gave him worldwide exposure. Prior to that not many football fans outside Nigeria France and Germany knew who he was.

Okocha just wasted his talent in Bolton. If he had gone to Inter, Ac Milian or Juventus, he would have been highly respected on the world stage and would have at least won something with his club.

did those clubs offer to sign him? or do u think players just go to clubs and knock at their doors?

Vinnie2000:
Kanu can NEVER be compared to Okocha in anything Football.

Kanu played 6 African Nations Cup without a Single Goal!

His Goals Return throughout his Stay@Arsenal is Remarkably Poor!

Okocha is more Highly Regarded in Africa than him. Diouf, Eto'o and even George Weah dey Respect Okocha like Madt! 😎

Did you watch kanu play in club sides at all? What of the Atlanta Olympic games and other international tournaments? Okocha did his best though. I'm sure you knew how many African Best Player Awards Kanu received. Okocha got nothing

Okocha was a better player at Bolton.

He played his best football for Nigeria while playing in Bolton

that is why u have to make the most out of Ur prime...

Imagine kaka playing for derby county in 2007
Shevchenko playing for Novara in 2005
Ronaldinho playing for psg in 2005
Ronaldo delima playing for sporting Braga in 2002
Messi playing for Eibar in 2012(tho he's the Eibarman) grin

All these great men wouldn't have reach their potential if dey played for average teams or low teams. Mocha played for lower teach and it's a shame on him...if truly he's talented he should have done better.

To me okocha is skillful and understand football more than kanu, but kanu today is international legend why okocha is the local legend... history will remember kanu more than okocha

You cannot blame okocha!
That time African players were not celebrated and sort for like this present era!
That time if you an African immigrant player and you are playing lower teams(you were lucky)
So it was difficult for African players to break in to good teams back then irrespective of talent .
So players had to squeeze the most out of opportunities.
Imagine if it was as now that okocha was 22 years old.man city ,real Madrid would be begging with $600000 per week contract .
Well we thank God for life.

Dis is not a matter of argument.
Kanu is the most successful and the best player ever in Nigeria.
Even okocha agreed with the fact.

You have a point but mind you there were still very fine Players in Africa doing well then playing in bigger teams which ofcus gives one an edge in their football career.

Nigerians love England more than they love their own country. Any opportunity to go to that dark, cold, ugly island Nigerians will throw everything away that they have and crawl there on their knees.

Flesh and blood have not revealed this truth to you.... It's an underrated truth. It's also the reason foolish people would box themselves to death over Chelsea or Man U grin

True talk, I still find it difficult to believe that Okocha never won AFCON player of the year despite his remarkable and spectacular performance in our senior national team

But he left us with great memories

Again he retired too early

Performance comes with goals. At national level, I can count the number of Okocha's spits which were more than his goals. He's more of a dribbler than a goal scorer.

Papillo had more success at goals than him.

Eriokanmi:
Okocha really liked money and I guessed he was motivated by it in his move to England where African soccer talents are being buried. Michel fell for that too...kanu remains Nigeria's soccer GOAT

Na you and so many people here go still come here to tell everyone how Okocha and Mikel were not able to utilize their opportunities by making money for retirement. And how they are harassing everyone for money to buy common panadol.

Exactly the way most Nigerians abuse and mock retired footballers who eat from hand to mouth now.

In any profession of the world, most especially football; luck takes you farther than talent. Luck 70%. Talent 30%.

Given the uncertainty back home in Nigeria, the limited performance age, injuries… most of them usually grab the nearest opportunity they can to make some money for themselves and their families. Airyegbeni, Obafemi, Musa etc all did it and I’m sure they won’t regret it. Luck showed up and they grabbed it and ran with it.

Unlike Ronaldinho and some European players who played for top clubs and got broke, their system still find a way to make them relevant.

It doesn’t work like that in Nigeria. When everyone retires back home, it will be clear to you that medals don’t pay your children’s university tuition. Because the government have not even fulfilled the promises they made when you won medals in the 80s and 90s. We saw what became of Keshi and his mother.

Most Nigerians condemning these guys can’t even afford to make a better choice or take half the risk these guys took in their various professions. Yet they are the first to tell accomplished individuals how they failed. Very laughable.

If the majority of Nigerians practice the advice they are giving to Okocha and mikel, Nigeria would have been better than Dubai by now.

Nigerians choose oil companies or civil service job over companies they will learn, grow and become big. Why? Is it not less work, more money and easy life they are looking for? But they are here condemning someone who is doing the same but even with a far bigger pay.
