Rashidi Yekini
Yakubu Aiyegbeni

KingAzubuike:

You allowed nostalgia to cloud your judgement. Segun odegbami ko. He doesn't come close to at least 5 of those strikers listed up there.

You must be crazy.

I blame NTA for not having old Eagles matches to show us.

Segun Odegbami was more than deadly. A striker who could dribble 8 players in a row and still tear the net.

NONE of the strikers we’ve had has been remotely as talented as Mathematical Segun Odegbami.

Yekini scored more goals because he was a centre forward.

Mathematical was an attacking winger on the right.

He was Samuel Chukwueze 2.0

I vividly remember a game we played against Tunisia when Odegbami had the ball on the right, near the touch line. In front of him was a Tunisian defender. As they stood facing each other, a Tunisian player was running fast from behind Odegbami to tackle him from the back. As he approached in speed, Odegbami stuck out his left foot, and the guy continued running, and running! They had to call him back to say “no…he’s still standing there!”

The commentator said “And this is why we call him Mathematical Odegbami”.

He was like a Kanu with speed and energy.

Oboy, everywhere scatter then. I was in boarding sch at that time. Football sweet dieeee

Lols, dat was in the year 2000.

In 2002, With the same Senegal in the Semi-final,
The Match was 2 1 against Nigeria in Extra Time.

Close to the 120th Minute, Kanu won a Penalty for Super Eagles to make it 2 2 and Take the game to Penalty shootouts.

Wilson Oruma Stepped up and Missed the Penalty.

Don't know how True, It was claimed that Angry Fans in Warri burnt his Father's House.

Looking at the list, I can say Edo people are good football strikers and internet strikers too . From Yakubu Aiyegbeni to Osaze to Ighalo to Osihmen. Edo State don try for naija national team.

Okocha was substituted few minutes b4 we won the penalty. All naija players were scared to step forward but, Oruma took the bold step . He struck the bar. I no chop for 3 days. Chai😊

You too Sabi Football.👍👍

Kanu was the one that should have Taken that Penalty.
Being that he was a Big player with Arsenal at that time.

But because he Missed against Cameroon in that 2000 Final, he was AFRAID.

Martins.
Rashidi Yekini.
Odion Ighalo.
Aiyegbeni.
Kanu.

Them don retire

sylve11:


You didn't watch them play but you tagged them great.

Na wa.

Were any of these men, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Pluto, Aristotle, Hippocrates, great men? If ur answer is yes, the question is have u seen them before?

Brown ideyi

Other than Rashidi Yekini, I think Martins and Osimhen reached the highest world class levels of a striker for Nigeria.

Kanu is not really a striker to me. He's more like a supporting forward. He's the best for Nigeria in this category.

I feel Martins particularly underachieved as he had the highest potential among our strikers with his demonic pace. Between 2003 and 2005, Martins level was among the world best with the terrific partnership he formed with Adriano that tore Serie A defences to shreds. He was like a mini-version of Samuel Eto.

I remember Martins making a mincemeat of Maldini in UCL semifinal in his goal against AC Milan. I remember him singlehandedly destroying Arsenal's defence at highbury in 2003. It's a pity he did not maximize his potential for Nigeria. The 2006 World cup miss stunted his legacy for Nigeria.

Yeah man. U sabi too baba. Respect!

Vinnie2000:


Utaka the Attacker.

I remember his Goal against Cameroon in AFCON 2004.
Where we beat them 2 1 in the Quarter finals.

That Goal was worth Billions because we had suffered too much against Cameroon.

As in! Before then, Cameroon had caused us too much heartbreak

Until anyone on that list is able to upstage the goal king yekini ,the its Yeking for me . Those goals scored at impossible angles and powerful shots , will forever make him my baddest striker in Nigeria history

Who's your personal Favourite Super Eagles Striker?

*Julius Aghahowa
*Yakubu Aiyegbeni
*Obafemi Martins
*Victor Igali
*Victor Ikpeba
*IK Uche
*Osaze Odemwingie
*Emmanuel Emenike
*Emmanuel Eneramo
*Nwankwo Kanu
*Odion Ighalo
*Victor Osihmen
*Rashidi 'the GoalsFather' Yekini.

Mine is YAKUBU AIYEGBENI.
Despite his Atrocious World Cup Miss in South Africa 2010,
I believe he still remains one of the Best Strikers this country has produced.🙂

What's yours? 🤔

Nplfmod.
Push to FP. Thanks.

"YE-KING" Rashidi Yekini is the real deal.

But Oshimeh may become number one soon. He has won the CAF Footballer and replicated what Maradonna did for Napoli at a young age.

Makes him an awesome footballer.

judedwriter:


Yekini remains the best, the most outstanding.

He made goal scoring look so easy.

Julius agahowa also comes to mind, but after nations cup 2000, he faded into oblivion.

.. yeah.. you are correct... for me I will say each of them has a unique quality that stands them out... I just didn't know why Ighali cut his career shot in super eagle

Simple argument you're already bringing insult. Did I call you crazy?

You're just been nostalgic here. Same reason people will keep arguing that Maradona was better than messi. Its just nostalgia, a taste for things of old. You even had to use just one football match to cement your claim. Let's be honest, odegbami was no where near yakubu. He was no where near obafemi Martins. These two guys made a name in Europe and on national level. After yak and obagoal, yekini comes next.

Nwankwo
Aiyegbeni

Wey Finidi George?
One of the best wingers in the world during his time.
Remember him in Ajax?

African football dey hard.
Goals then, dry like kpala....
but hail....
RASHIDI YEKINI NO DOUBT.

legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha

Michael Eneramo not Emanuel

Obagoal will always be there for his speed, tenacity and clinical finishing. Aghawonder for his never say die spirit, IK Uche, my man Victor Ikpeba who doo ever score ordinary goals. But the greatest is the YeKing Rashidi Yekini. Yekini is very fast and Athletic despite his frame. A wonderful deadball specialist. Scoreo many great free kicks like in Senegal 1992 against Gabon. He is also very technically gifted. His volley on in Algiers 1990 semi final, 1993 world cup qualifiers in Lagos against Algeria. Yekini was Osimhen, Martin's and Ike Uche all in one. A true Legend
