Besides, there were no young players tournaments during their time. If we checked very well, most of Oshimen goal as at were from World Understand 16 games he participated twice. This is not undermining his achievement so far.

oshimen was born and brought up in Lagos

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.

APOPTOSIS:
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.

What are you even saying

gaskiyamagana:
Be analytical informed and don't misunderstood me.
What l am saying in response to that post of a defender so good to be among higher scorers for Nigeria is an achievement. Then I said that , and you can prove me wrong that most of that 25 Oshimen goals were from his younger Africa and world football tournaments. In other words, if there were such during the time of Yekini and co , they too could have gotten more goals for Oshimen to compete with now. I am not saying he can not surpass them. Record is always there to be broken.

GanagiBitrus:
He will obviously overtake Yekini.
Just a matter of time.

Ken4Christ:
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?

CodeTemplarr:
Hahaha. Three goals now is like two back then.

chopnaira:
Omo. Yemini at 37 goals. Person wey go break that record go try.

robosky02:
Just 12 goals and Osimhen will be Nigerias' greatest goal machine

WINDSOW:
I think the yardstick isn't accurate.
It should also be measured alongside the number of matches played too.

For example:
If I play 10 matches and score a total of 57 goals compared to someone who played 38 matches and scored 63 goals, please who's is the GOAT 🐐?

PassingShot:
Obviously?

12 goals may look a small feat but it doesn't always work like that especially in international football.

Dey play

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

Osanoghodua1:
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.
