StarBoard: My patience is sufficiently stretched but i have struggled to rein in my emotion and i will continue to contain your immaturity. I will not condescend to using gutter language just as you. Beats me hollow how some people cannot converse without the outpouring of invectives. Again i will let it slide. If u had expected me to join you in this, you came at a wrong time. Keep galloping, your 'brilliance' is being manifested to all. |

hardbody:shattap jor. If you dont have anything tangible to say on this mayter, go and get laid. The issue at hand is about Nigeria s all time #9. Translation(as you are a simpleton of the lowest exponent): Nigeria's greatest goslscorer. You are talking about step overs. I wonder how you graduated. if you cannot translate simple statements there is no point arguing with a certifief dullard. |

acenazt:Yekini was a striker. An out and out no 9. Why must you embarrass yourself like this? And it's spelt 'striker' not 'stricker'. |

Hardtalk: You are absolutely on point. But I blame those born in the 70s for not passing on the history to those born in 90s. Before Nigeria qualified for the 94 wc, our first ,my parents wouldn't stop talking about Segun Odegbami, muda lawal, Henry nwosu etc even though Nigeria never qualified during their time. I appreciate players like that for paving the way for the 94 team just as much as I appreciate Kanu and his exploits on and off the field. Yekini will always be the man and he needs to be honored. I'm sure if they put a statue of him at the Abuja stadium, the kids will be more appreciative. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: Who Is Nigeria Greatest Number 9 ? by Hardtalk: 5:16pm On Oct 26, 2014 |
easyelliot: Hmm....I wont blame this generation. In fact, when YEKINI was still invogue, many started comparing him with Segun Odegbami. What a wrong combination? Segun played No. 7 all thru. Should you want to compare, you should compare Segun Odegbami with Friday Elaho, Finnidi George, Felix Owolabi. From that list, you will get who was better. Even comparing Yekini and Kanu, is not proper, as Kanu played No. 8 (mostly), while Yekini was No. 9. As far as I am concern, without Yekini, there wouldnt have been Samson Siasia, and later Daniel Omokachi. They both rode of the fame of Yekini. Should anyone wants to compare, it should be from this list: No. 9 = Rashidi Yekini, Obafemi Martins, Emmanuel Emenike. No. 8 = Kanu Nwakwo, Samson Siasia, Daniel Omokachi, Brown Ideye. No. 7 = Segun Odegbami, Friday Elaho, Finidi George; Felix Owolabi. No. 10 = Etim Esin, Friday Ekpo, JayJay Okocha, Mikel Obi. No. 1 = Peter Rufai, Best Ogedegbe, Emmanuel Okala, Ike Shorunmu. Thats the pattern of comparism that I want. |

Jarus:Bro, I know what a No 9 is. Last Bullet My list was on players that played as Nigeria's main striker (No 9) at some point. Some of them like Yekini, Martins, Osaze Aghaowa, Yakubu were originally No 9. But players like Kanu, IK Uche, Odegbam & Amokachi played as Nigeria's No 9 in some matches. |
Re: Who Is Nigeria Greatest Number 9 ? by alphaking(m): 1:11am On Oct 27, 2014 |
Kanu was never a 9 both for country and club.Rashidi yekini scored a lot of goals but i believe he played more matches than obagoal. obagoal should have a better goal per match ratio than rashidi yekini.OP even yobo has more international goals than kanu 1 Like |

femi4:Segun Odegbami was naturally a striker. It was due to his style of play that makes him operate from the wings as a No 7 & he was later used as a winger or striker in some matches. Stop your ITK. |
Re: Who Is Nigeria Greatest Number 9 ? by femi4: 6:30pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
OkikiOluwa1:He was never a top 9....?Is Messi/C. Ronaldo a top 9. How old were you in 1980? Odegbami was brought up in the northern city of Jos, Plateau State.[2] He won 46 caps and scored 23 goals for the National Team, and guided Nigeria to its first Africa Cup of Nations title at the 1980 tournament in his homeland. Nicknamed Mathematical, he was famous for his skill on the ball, speed and precision of his crosses from the right wing |
Re: Who Is Nigeria Greatest Number 9 ? by OkikiOluwa1(m): 8:29pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
femi4:Tell me the position of Messi & Ronaldo. Ain't they also playing as No 9? femi4:This is pointless. I warn you! femi4:You just copied this word for word from wikipedia. And you came to Nairaland to educate me on what I knew. You are not intelligent. Last Bullet My reply post to Jarus was to explain to him the kinda Nigerian No 9 am talking about & why I picked Odegbami & Amokachi as part of them. Don't come here to claim I too know, seniority or whatever. |

femi4:for you to still claim that I m someone that didn't see 1980 CAN proves that you are a small kid that easily assume things. For the records, I saw 1980 CAN. This ll make me ask you how old you really are? Cos you so much crave for superiority btw me & you. The most foolish thing you did was to call someone that knows what he's saying ignorant when you are the real ignoramous! |
