Marjoribanks:
Yekini won just one AFCON and failed to score in both Semi finals and finals of that AFCON win.
Yekini statpaded teams like Ethiopia, Gabon etc.
Yekini has just one tap in World cup goal. Missed a sitter against ten men Italy. Abeg rest!
Many watched Yekini live here ooo.

Oshimen is just 24 years old and has not even been to any AFCON as a starter yet.
Please rest all this talk! He was the highest goal scorer at the World cup qualification.
Unfortunate to lose out on away goal rule against Ghana without most of our top midfielders available for that game.
Please rest all this full potential crap.
He still has 3 to 4 AFCONs to go.

Based on what? At 24 years, Oshimen has been nominated for Ballor something Yekini couldn't even get in his entire career!
I watched Yekini's game live. Do you know the number of chances Yekini missed at AFCON 1994 semis and finals and the World Cup?
We could have easily lost AFCON 94 semis to the Ivorians if not for Ben Iruoha spectacular goal.
Yekini's greatest period was 93/94 yet he had just one world cup goal and missed sitters when it mattered most.

What did Yekini achieved for Nigeria? No AFCON final winning goal. So?
Oshimen will score 100 goals for Nigeria. You all can ... You all keep disrespecting him and it is becoming nauseating!

Ballon'dOr was an individual award given to the best players in Europe not the world. It nolonger FIFA Ballon'dOr.

Charles emeka and majoribanks ,most especially charlesemeka have always downplayed our old players effort and success,given diff scenarios to back his claims but d fact still remains dt Dey re most successful set uptil now 😎

When it comes to talking about the older generation and to an extent the recent/present ones, CharlesEmeka is as empty as the skull of Sheyishemba. Na to just dey make noise from one angle to another. Imagine small pikin like him dey talk down on the achievements of Amunike because of his Barca misadventure.

Why should you be comparing Yekini's total career to that of Oshimen in the first place? If your eyes are wide open you could see some post stating that Oshimen only scores against weak African opposition. That post made me react. Nothing concern me with Yekini cos his goals won nothing for Nigeria. Yes he is good but certaining overhyped! Ciao

Yekini goals won nothing for Nigeria yet he was the highest goalscorer and best player of the tournament in 1994 AFCON.

I have seen enough. Make I retreat.

Well, in the 80s, African football was very competitive because majority of their stars played in Africa then.

That was when the Nigerian professional football league was very interesting. Even CAF champions league.

Rashidi was part of the team that was defeated in 1984 Champions league finals in Lagos after winning the league in 1983 and scored 45 goals in 53 matches for 3sc.

He was just 20 years old then.

Osimhen has also done well and has achieved in Europe.

Those years African football was far from being competitive. It was filled up by too many minnows

Marjoribanks:
At 22 years (1986) where was Yekini! At 22 years Oshimen was already one of the best strikers in the world (AFON and World Cup qualifiers highest goal scorer) but missed the AFCON through injuries. At 20 years, Oshimen already had AFCON bronze.

At 24 years, he has achieved what Yekini could only dreamed of! At this stage of Yekini's life he can't lace Oshimen's shoe. And what Oshimen will achieve in the future will only be a pipe dream for Yekini.

Because when he was at his pick in Europe, Ballon'dOr wasn't awarded to non European. It was only opened to foreigners from 1995. As at that time, Yekini was 32 years old. Playing retirement football. Do you understand?

Oga Charles,it seems you are not getting this discourse…the man icon4s is one of the leading Osimehn baba here and he threw a question “can we compare Osimehn with Yekini now and from individual’s contributions so far,nothing like disrespecting Osimehn.

Fact Osimehn will prefer to win Afcon and lead Nigeria to WC than missing out and win all time Nigeria highest goal scorer.Whether we like it or not Osimehn will soon be all time GOAT of Nigeria football cuz @24 he has the time.
