Ahmed Musa is better than them

Musa won a Nigerian Footballer of the year and suddenly he is better than everyone before him?

For your information,KANU is a TWO TIME AFRICAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR..

And Okocha is a SEVEN Times Nigerian Footballer of the year..

No be Musa mates dey play for Arsenal,Leicester City, Villarreal, Watford and Levant,Girona,Boudreaux,Torino?

FIRST CLASS LEAGUES IN EUROPE?

And him dey Saudi Arabia?

In the land of the blind,the one eye man is KING.. cheesy

Who better pass am. If you call anybody else than Ndidi ehn

I was only trying to correct your assumption that Musa isn't playing cos of money. If not,how can you explain why a supposed 26 year old would be playing in Saudi Arabia?

Somehow, he may be correct considering the exploit of Daniel Amokachi, Tijani Babangida and Garba Lawal.....even Ahmed Musa

What of Kanu, Okocha, Ikpeba, Mikel?

How many northerners have represented the national team?

How many northerners play in europe top leagues?

Mind u Daniel Amokachi is from middle belt

Because of tribalism. They don't want to bring Northerners into NFF. Or are you telling me there are no better footballers in the North since the time of Kanu and co?

Oh! I forgot your hatred for Northerners has eaten up your brain
Where are the Northern Footballers?

Them hid for under a tree?

We see Iwobi play in Arsenal,Chukwueze play in Villarreal,Onyekuru play in Galatasaray,Ndidi play in Leicester,Omeruo play in Levant,Kalu play in Bordeaux..

Where are the Northern MESSIs playing or is it in the moon?

That is not true. Since they started dominating, we have not been doing well
The most successful teams in in Nigeria were dominated by Igbos,

The Tunisia 94 Squad,US 94,Atlanta Olympic and AFCON 2013 squad have Igbos as the singular major Tribe,so which other teams are you talking about?

2 Yoruba are the Highest goal scorer for the national team, despite the fact that few Yoruba are in the national team will still manage to stay on top

Asisat Oshoala is also making wave for the Female Team, she even won Africa best female player and highest scorer in tournament


We are few in the national team but we still manage to stay on top imagine if there are more Yoruba


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_leading_goalscorers_for_the_Nigeria_national_football_team
Igbos have won more African Footballer of the year than any other Tribe..

Perpetua Nkwocha have won more African Footballer of the year than Asisat(FOUR) and more highest goal scorer in Tournaments..

Igbos have ruled the National Teams just like Yorubas dominate the Music scene,

There's no imagine if you have more players about it..

Bukasint:
Lol....this man must be drunk? And how many of them are representing us internationally. How many of them are in the five top European leagues? I guess this man has an iota of tribalism in him. Football is made by adequate practice and perfection. Taking correction and being injury free.

My point is despite the fact that we are few in the national team and not many and populated the place like you guys we still manage to stay on top.

Asisat Oshoala have surpassed perpetual nweocha achievement. Asisat Oshoala have more award and Honour to her name than her and they both won the same number of Africa player, Asisat won one at youth level and 3 at senior level with other awards

You have not stayed on top,

Success is measured by by many YARDSTICKS,

You can pick and choose which criteria suits your needs..

Saying that Yekini is the Highest Goal Scorer does not negate the fact that Kanu won more Titles than him..

Nor that Okocha was a World Renowned TWO Times BBC African Player of the year and Olympic Gold Medalist..

Nor the TRUTH that Yekini never managed to play in any well known European Club..

And that you are shouting yourself hoarse does not negate the fact that Amokachi is IDOMA..

By the way am Igbo,from Anambra..

Omeokachie and Amokachie is NOT one and the same name..

One is Igbo,the other is IDOMA..
