1 DANCING WITH THE NET

Of course it just had to be this one. Nigeria was playing Bulgaria in her first ever game at the USA 1994World Cup. A World Cup participation made possible thanks to important goals from Yekini in the qualifiers. But the goal legend saved his most important for the competition proper. Rashidi tapped in Finidi’s cross to score the country’s first ever goal in the competition. And in sheer ecstasy, Yekini grabbed the net, raising his hands up and screaming for joy. That sight was one of the best highlights of the 1994 World Cup and will forever live in my memory.

Creme de la creme.
Excellente!!!

Nwankwo Kanu is Officially Nigeria's Greatest Football player ever

It's hard to believe Mikel won just two premier league titles with Chelsea considering the many success Chelsea recorded at the time.

It would seem like he was a part of those premier league hauls during the Mourinho and Ancelotti era.

Kanu and Okocha are still playing draw at the top. My thought though.

Samuel okwaraji is the only player I know.

Mikel obi

Jokerman:
Acheivements wise,in terms of what we won

1. Nwankwo Kanu (won Africa best player twice)

2. Mikel Obi

3. Emmanuel Amuneke

In terms of talents

1. Jay Jay okocha

2. Nwankwo Kanu

3. Rashidi Yekini

Kanu no.1 for sure. Forget Mikel. He never measured up to his potential. Had a good career and won important trophies.. However, the whole career was an anti-climax. One of our greats locally(sentimentally based off just '05 alone sef). But def not a top 3.

Popularization/Globalization of football haS given accolades like UCL and EPL undue importance, where ofc if we were to go by that then Eto'o for example would be the undisputed best ever. Meanwhile, we know very well that when he came up against local north african league players and average European squads repping CMR he never did anything.

Roger Milla on the other hand didn't have those accolades but we can attest to his genius and gravitas in steering action on the pitch... That's where Mikel gets the advantage over everyone esp that 2012 UCL.

Samuel Okwaraji. he was the best Nigerian player.

John Obi Mikel.

No 1

Any day.

His professional career, which spanned more than two decades, was mainly associated with Vitória de Setúbal in Portugal, but he also played in six other countries besides his own.

Yekini scored 37 goals as a Nigerian international, and represented the nation in five major tournaments, including two World Cups where he scored the country's first-ever goal in the competition. He was also named the African Footballer of the Year in 1993.





Scoring 37 goals for Nigeria in 58 appearances,[9] Yekini was the national record goalscorer. He was part of the team that participated in the 1994 (where he netted Nigeria's first-ever goal in a World Cup, in a 3–0 win against Bulgaria, his celebration after scoring, crying while holding the goal's net, became one of the iconic images of the tournament[10]) and the 1994 FIFA World Cups.

Additionally, Yekini helped the Super Eagles win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia where he also topped the goal charts and was named best player of the competition.[11] He also participated at Olympic level in Seoul 1988.
