Osimhen overtakes Odegbami, now Nigeria’s 2nd highest goal scorer behind Yekini (Top 10)


Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen on Friday evening overtook the legendary Segun Odegbami in the list of Nigeria’s all-time top scorers.


This follows his goal in the 11th minute of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali.

Osimhen came into the match level with Odegbami on 23 goals.


But the Napoli loanee put the ball in the next following a free-kick cross from Ademola Lookman early in the game.

Osimhen now has 25 goals, two ahead of Odegbami.

The 26-year-old is now only behind Rashidi Yekini, who has 37 goals for the Super Eagles.

APOPTOSIS:
Meanwhile, see your Ballon D'or hopeful and World Best.. This is what Media Hypemen can do. They can hype someone like Buhari till the world would move to recognize him with a Nobel prize in Physics and Medicine.

For the First Time, The president of Brazil is moving in angrily, threatening to drop a Brazilian player (Vinicius)
Such an embarrassment to Pele, Garrincha, Romario, Fenomeno, Rivaldo, Dinho, KaKa Adriano, Fabiano, and Neymar.
On a Good day, this Guy won't smell the bench of the Brazilian National Team.

Osimhen hasn't even done half of what lauturo martinez have done for Inter and Argentina....still , his name never get mentioned in the balon dor race ... so it's not by black or white man .... oshimen hasn't even done half of what mane or salah have both done for both club and Country...mane finished 2n and 3rd in one of the recent balon dor . So it has nothing to do with race , cos e no de hard una. WEAH WAS THE FIRST NON EUROPEAN TO WIN IT IN 95
