obi is arguably the most successful Nigerian footballer ever
No begrudging Mikel's achievements but he does not hold a candle to Kanu. That man has won almost everything winnable, and unlike Mikel he played an active part for all his teams.

The only reason I did not join issues with dogonyaro is because he prefaced that statement with 'arguably' so i chose to not argue.

I clearly stated 'excluding age grade competitions'. Age grade competitions don't count. When you beat the big boys then yea that does.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is no less an achievement so it can not be waved off! I live in Nairobi and feel a sense of pride whenever Kenyans talk about the Semi-final and the Final matches of the Atlanta '96 and the role Kanu played. If age grade competitions means nothing you can tell Messi to discount his winning the U-20 World championship and the Olympics Gold medal!

Age grade competitions are meaningless my friend. The big football countries see them as developmental opportunities not as chances to accumulate medals/trophies which no one will rememeber. If not players will count winning FA Youth cups,U-15, U-16, U-17 tournaments etc for their local teams.

True, winning Olympic football goal is a noteworthy achievement but I don't consider it a major honour in football when it really is an under 23 competition with 3 'overage' players. You think Messi remembers winning U-21 World Cup 11 yrs ago? Hahahaha

That's my opinion anyway, ofcourse you're entitled to yours.
