Osimhen will hit 100 goals for Nigeria if he is injury free and if Nigeria plays more games. He is still very young.

Meanwhile, where is the name of the most celebrated Kanu Nwankwo and J J Okocha on the list?

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.


Nigeria’s all-time scorers [Top 10]

Rashidi Yekini – 37 Goals

Victor Osimhen – 25 Goals

Segun Odegbami – 23 Goals

Yakubu Aiyegbeni – 21 Goals

Ikechukwu Uche – 19 Goals


Obafemi Martins – 18 Goals

Sunday Oyarekhu – 17 Goals

Samson Siasia – 16 Goals

Odion Jude Ighalo – 16 Goals

Ahmed Musa – 16 Goals

Overtaking is allowed





Yesterday I showed my neighbor his daughter's boyfriend, & he offered me a beer 🍺
Today I will show him his wife's sugar daddy 🚶

Uche Ikechukwu scored 19 goals—a remarkable feat for a defender, outscoring some strikers. And possibly in fewer matches too. Back then, teams played fewer than 10 games a year, except during Nations Cup years.

Cool. I see him beating Yakubu soon.

But honestly, I'm super proud of us Yorubas and our myriad, positive contributions to this county. Of the top 5 highest goal scorers in Nigerian history, 4 are Yorubas (outside Osinmen). About other sports have our feet too. Football, track, and so on. All these despite the limited resources. We're some of the greatest and intelligent people, I believe.

robosky02:
Osimhen is certainly the hottest striker in the world

cr7lomo:
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

If the top 10, 4 are from Edo State. Growing up , Edo had raw football talent, lack of sponsors usually truncate their talents.

I usually leave Benin city to spend holidays in my father's village where we have a perfect football pitch. Everyone I met in the village usually would bench me, I am not a prolific player, Just gifted with speed and the ability to mesmerise my opponent not a good team player hence the benching. Those guys where really really good. They usually have a match against a club from the city and Play like men.

These days, land grabbers, Yahoo and cultism have dent the talents in my beloved state.

If only we have San Marino in Africa

Congratulations Osimhen,
Meanwhile see your Ballon D'or hopeful and World Best below...
See terrible statistics.. 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.

Exactly 💯 💯
Yet no Media Hype.
But Vinicius with one of the poorest statistics is disturbing the social media space.

Nonsense …

You have started putting on tribal lenses. So Ikechukwu Uche who is in top 5 is also Yoruba?
