Whenever Nigerians hear Aiyegbeni, they always remember his 2010 missed goal... [/quote
I'm imagining how my future children would feel if i tell them Yaks still missed this chance?

Aiyegbeni wants Ighalo to break his goal mouth miss record.

We should keep shut about Yak missing the world Cup goal, no one is above mistake even Messi and Ronaldo do miss goals sometimes
Yak is still one of the best striker in The Premier League scoring over 100 goals

One Funny thing is that most 95 percent of football fans in Nigeria are biased and Myopic that's why the Nigerian team will never go far. Because Yakubu Missed that goal and you forgot his records? In case you don't know, He is the second best striker in the history of Nigeria. Hate him or love him that's the fact. Another world class player Nigerians berate is Obi Mikel but heads who don't know football will sprew rubbish yet his the world recognize him. I once watched football in a viewing center during the last days of KANU and people were abusing him. Lots of wrong heads in Nigeria that's why we fail.

One of the worst striker Nigeria has ever had. Not surprise he is endorsing Ighalo.

Rhor should draft in Samuel from Villarreal, he has hood potentials
Don't be ignorant.... He is the second best finisher Nigeria has ever had... Behind only Yekini. You can check the stats n come back to argue. M annoyed he missed dat 2010 chance but let's speak the truth. He also has some of the best records of any Nigerian striker in Europe. Make sure u check o

Sometimes,I don't blame players who refused to play for Nigeria,yak played for Nigeria and he is even recognized in the premier league called second to Thierry Henry,we don't appreciate him because of his miss in 2010 but we all have been following the likes of Messi and others who have lost in crucial mathches and still bet your money on them even till now,we can grow this way of we don't appreciate our own thing and accept it the way it is.
true his record in the EPL is decent but in national duty he was found wanting. I preferred an attack consisting of Osaze, ike uche, Obafemi martins and obinna nsofor. nsofor and the uche brothers were instrumental to our qualification. Sadly when the real show came martins and uche were left to watch the rickety yakubu from the bench. Off course after the disastrous outing at south africa, Lagerbach ran away with our cool 9 million dollars.

Aiyegbeni is from Edo state, while Ighalo and Osimhen are from Edo state too. Is it coincidence that he is praising and recommending the duo? cry

Anyway. I agree with him on Ighalo, but not on Osimhen. Scoring against some underage Libyan farmers doesn't make one a good enough striker for the senior team.
Osimhen is on FIFTEEN league goals in the Belgian Jupiler league..

Coming from the man who knows how to miss empty net

I will never forgive you for that goal you missed in 2010 world cup
He's still Super Eagles' all-time 3rd highest goal scorer with 22 goals and Africa's 3rd all-time highest goal scorer in the EPL with more than 90 goals, behind only Drogba and Adebayor.

It really pains me when Nigerians insult Yakubu. The man should be considered a legend if not for that miss

True word it seems with the current crops it's not just because he, Ighalo and Osimhen are Esans.

Where did Aiyegbeni rate that Villareal starlet ? "Chukwueze" , mhen, that guy is a joy to watch ..
Is he a striker or a winger? Clearly Yakubu was talking about out and out strikers like he was in his day

Exactly, I was also guilty of this until I thought about it.
Messi has missed crucial goals, for Argentina even for Barcelona, but people still come and shout "GOAT", No doubt that he is though wink, same implies to every player and we still got their backs.
Yakubu scored close to 100goals in the premier league, and he's well recognised but his country people hate him all because of a miss over 9years ago, why?
Some people even curse him all because of that, we should really do better!
