The first man to lift the AFCON as captain for Nigeria and the first African to lift the trophy as both captain and coach in 1980 & 1994 and he was a proud & confirmed Igbo man

so if he was not igbo man wat will now happen?

74yrs, just like yesterday when I watched this man play? Life is truly transient. RIP. I guess he was nearing 80. That age quoted was football age

Nigeria has lost another legend. May the Lord be with the family he left behind in Jesus mighty name.

chillychill:
Wow I could still remember vividly him leading us to Tunisia 2004.. Rest on legend

Tunisia 94 as Coach? That was Westerhof.
RIP to the Great Coach CC!!!

Chairman Christian Chukwu has paid his dues!

There's a time to be born and a time to die.


Whatever be the case, his legacies stand tall.


Adieu!


May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace!



@hotseat

Pls is he igbo man or Ebonyi state man

THIS




LIFE.

RIP sir.



Greet Stephen Keshi for me.

Chairman Christian Chukwu was at the heart of the defence of the Green Eagles of Nigeria when they won Nigeria’s first ever African Cup of Nations title in 1980 at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, where the Green Eagles thrashed Algeria 3-0 in a pulsating final before 100,000 screaming fans.

It was the defensive solidity of Chairman Christian Chukwu in defence that allowed the free flowing skills of ‘Mathematical’ Segun Odegbami on the attacking right wing, ‘Chief Justice’ Adokiye Amaesiamaka on the left, and midfield maestro, Muda Lawal in the middle, to thrive in that legendary side.

Christian Chukwu was also the defensive bulwark of Enugu Rangers between 1972 and 1981, back when Rangers International was one of Africa’s most feared clubsides.

Chairman Christian Chukwu was one of Africa’s greatest defenders, and is a real icon of African football.

Adieu, great legend of the Green Eagles of Nigeria.

He was an ASSISTANT coach in 1994, doesn't count.
Keshi was first Nigerian to do such.

Rip Christian Chukwu

He didn't represent Igbo land, but Nigeria, just as the likes of Mathematical Segun Odegbemi in the same 1980 class.

You're older than this pettiness.

Keshi is ahead of him.

He was a figure head Coach under Clemence Westerhoff

You're in Lagos Nigeria in Ebute Metta, selling Spare parts of Honda Vehicles.

You're doing as a Nigerian dealing with everyone from every where, not dealing as Igboman, but as a proud Nigerian

rip

My late dad really idolized Christian Chukwu.

You die black but you need to be judged by a white god. How?

RIP the legendary Christian Chukwu!

rowland545:
so if he was not igbo man wat will now happen?

And this same guy that is playing tribal card sells spare parts at Èbúté Metta Lagos, not as Igboman, but as a Nigerian.

He's pathetic

Rest In Peace Christian Chukwu!

May your soul RIP my coach

😭😭
R.I.P. Ogaaa

Peliman:

This comment is very petty because football is a team sport and only one person does not make a forest.

Besides he was representing Nigeria and not Igboland!

A true Legend to the core.
A captain
A leader
A coach
And a Tactician.

Rest on Coach
