Only if he goes beyond this season....besides , no African player has ever truly commanded main striker in galatasay history....so not surprised..... fegholi na midfielders so as onyekeru
You're reasoning backwards. If they could score like him they would have commanded the main striker position. So that is only more proof of the gap in class.

Though it's quite an interesting post you have here, I think you may have missed the point by a wide margin.
What I'd rather have said is to display each player's goal per game tally.
That'll put Osimhen in a class of his own with no other (not even Drogba) coming anywhere near.
The guy's just phenomenal. cool
You are the one who missed the point my good bro...the post is about highest scoring africans not goals per games ratio. Those are two different stats.

I read your opinion from it's first paragraph to the end and noted that

1, Your post is not relevant to the topic discussed which is "the highest goal scorer in
the Turkish League.

2, Nairaland remains the biggest feedback forum in the whole of Nigeria and by extension sub-saharan Africa. A verifiable large percentage of high ranking Government officials in the FG have accounts on Nairaland

When Nairaland went down due to maintenance it made front page in all the daily newspapers.

3, People come here for different reasons some as anti-depressant others for research and academic reason and also for current affairs especially with focus on Nigeria.

As a Nigerian living abroad, it's at your loss if you don't have a Nairaland account for quick updates on your homeland.

Your write up quite lengthy as it is listed some facts, however can't be totally true.

Not about Osimhen though.

Yesterday, I opened this platform in a conference, and a psychiatrist who sat beside me had a brief conversation with me about the platform. Nairaland was his avenue to get a position for his senior residency over a decade ago…and he spoke about a litter of forums that were on the page designed to encourage critical reflection, dialogue, and shared critique around news events too. But he spoke in such a manner that this was no longer so.

I mentioned that there were other forums that cultivate that habit, but most users are unwilling to engage. They just want the forum on the front page. Then we got into, giving back to the platform by sharing opportunities and other resourceful ideas… but he said the platform has become a garbage of “Performative Engagement.” and other things about overly tribal sentiments … that I struggled to disagree with in the face of evidence.


The conversation got me thinking about deeper psychological undercurrents that shapes user (our) behavior.

I agreed with him that increasingly the platform has become a theater which he described as ‘a place where users chase visibility through shock value and speed, rather than insight.’

Outrageous news stories, often unverified and sensationalized, are uploaded not to inform or analyze, but to bait attention. And with these deteriorated content quality, most viewers don’t even have the patient to engage reasoned comments which get drowned out by reactive posts and one-liners. He argues the forum has cease to serve its intellectual or civic function, and that he left, because he feared he is not immune from such needs, which if not met, can cause him to be disillusioned, and to compensate, he has to respond quickly without thoughts, impairing his cognitive function.

So he spoke about the race and scramble to be the first to comment. Not to contribute depth, but simply to be ‘seen’.

This performative urgency “first to comment,” “front/first page,” “top reply” … he emphasized was some sort of echo or a kind of low-stakes celebrity, and a microdose of relevance in the users of the platform.

“But relevance to whom?” I asked. “Do you know most users remain anonymous, cloaked behind pseudonyms? And that’s there are no tangible rewards, no compensation, no credits, no career gains?” I persisted.

He said such behavior spoke to something deeper than boredom or habit and that it speaks to the increasingly fragile ways in which people seek validation online. The desire to be seen, to be early, to be reacted to…even without name or face. He points out that it offers a fleeting sense of identity which is hollowed out of real connection. He said, privately, users might measure their worth by comparing how they stack up against others, but that dangerously, the users become clouded in stacking up, that their metric isn’t insight or empathy but rather, what becomes prioritized is timing, provocation, and numbers, which in reality creeps into their normal functioning, as people are mostly what they are, indoors.



I didn’t know when I kept nodding as he said that Nairaland has become an extreme echo chamber of digital desperation. He added that it is not simply the platform problem although Reddit didn’t reward such behavior, allowing comments that appears to be based on ranking; but he say, all of our cultural anxiety from using social media is spurred by a fear that we nurse of not being heard in a world where everyone is speaking.

I left, saying, well, I will be less reactive , and not necessarily address the forum topic, rather, there will be an intention going forward, and a realization that attention is not connection. Noise is not relevance. And racing to be first is rarely the path to wisdom. That way, I contribute to the platform devolving away from a space where performance trumps substance, and virality trumps value.

Osimhen has better games goal ratio

I think while the number of goals is a reflection of the prolific scoring ability of Osimhen, it says little about the quality of this young man.
However, thanks for your point, Sir, and it's well taken. 👍🏾

Even with how bad Super Eagles are, Osimhen is still shining. He will shine anywhere he goes. Do you know how many balls Jackson gets per match? If Osimhen gets half as much in every game he plays, he will be striking in at least 2 goals per match. He will do well in Chelsea definitely.

If African players like obafemi martins , Samuel eto , Didier Drogba, mohammed salah , Benny Mccarthy, George Weah , Rasheedi Yekini, Emmanuel Adebayo, would all have also scattered that league if they played for Gala at their peak

So what? How is that relevant to the topic?

Just 10 more goals and Oshimen becomes the highest.
Very feasible though he may not as he will definitely leave the club by the end of the season.

Osimenh will likely surpass the no. 1 on the list, just that he might not be at the club next season. I wish him all the best.
He just surpassed it yesterday 😁😁
