Happy birthday to Sir Odegbami the Mathematical. He's a maestro on the field. Pity his marriage to Funmi Iyanda failed. I like them together.

He was NEVER married to Funmi Iyanda! Wonder why any GENUINE Well-wisher should bring that story into a Birthday wish?

Fumni Iyandas lover boy those days.

Happy birthday baba.

happy born day to him....

Still the 3rd or 4th highest goalscorer for Nigeria despite playing mainly as a winger.

Don't you know that some people like "showing demselves" on this forum?

I was wondering too whether he knew odegbami and funmi together to warrant wishing their being together blissfully.

The original source of the nickname "Mathematical" was because Segun Odegbami attended and graduated from Nigeria's premier technical institution; The Polytechnic, Ibadan where he studied Engineering.[i][/i]

OP Lalasticlala,

You cannot be more incorrect about the origin of the sobriquet ''Mathematical'' given to Segun Odegbami.

Late Ernest Okonkwo, ace Radio Nigeria Broadcaster and popular football commentator, was the one who gave Segun Odegbami the nickname. You know, Segun Odegbami was so popular in those days, he was an household name and he was called ''mathematical'' primarily because of his masterful dribbling skills and accuracy of his crosses from the right wing to Adokie Amaesimaka on the left which in most cases would always result in a goal.

The story of Segun Odegbami cannot be complete without mentioning midfield maestro, Muda Lawal (of blessed memory) and the legendary lefty, Adokie Amaesimaka. Together the trio wrecked havoc on many African national teams. Those were the good, old days when the Eagles (later renamed Super Eagles by Late Admiral Augustus Aikhomu) would want tp play a match at 4.00pm and you would be seated by your TV set as early as 1.00PM or be in the National Stadium by 12.00pm.

So, Lalasticlala, I hope you have been educated on the true origin of Odegbami's nickname and why he's was given the nickname. Odegbami was a beauty to behold when moving with the ball - He was very fast (like Mbappe of PSG) and at the same time he would very ''mathematically'' dribbled away any opposition or obstacle in front while moving such a high speed. It was a rare sight to behold. To be honest, it is only now in Messi that you can find such ''mathematical'';accuracy of speed and dribbling when moving with the ball. And because Odegbami was also tall, we were spellbound watching him cutting through defence with such speed and dribbing - the accuracy of the two skills made Ernest Okonkwp to gloriously shout over the microphone ''Oh the ball is now with Segun Odegbami....he's moving, he dribbles one, two, three ....it's a goooooooallll Mathematical Segun Odegbami has done it again!!!! Goal No 2 by Mathematical Segun Odegbami'' And the name stuck ever since. It has nothing to do with Engineering at all!

I don’t know Messi, Ronaldo, etc

Segun Odegbami, Best Ogedengbe, Okala, Muda Lawal I know.

The footballers of my youth. I stan Sir.

Wowww ! We share the same birthday .Congratulations Segun Odegbami ,The Mathematician .

HBD sir, I wish you long life and good health.

Odegbami se igbayawo, aiye gbo orun mo,gbogbo IICC lope ju, congratulations Odegbami o, congratulations Odegbemi o
from Christian Chukwu to Mudal Lawal, to Kunle Awesu to Odegbami o, ta won yoooooo, it is a goal ooooooo, Odegbami........
Big Happy birthday to Segun Odegbami

As you ask me, na who I go ask?

This man is tall o
Congratulations to him!

Happy birthday Mr Mathematical

I am a genuine well-wisher although I realize I shouldn't have brought up his past relationship in a birthday post. I know now they just had a child together and not married. I'll modify the post. Thanks for pointing it out.

Mr leg over.. Mathematical segun Odegbami

Happy birthday Segun Odegbami..
