Do not be decieved, most states claiming lockdown na audio lockdown o. Niger state for example claim to be on "total" lockdown, but market was opened on thursday, muslims said if they went to market, why not jumat? And christians said since muslims held jumat they will hold church too.
Truly, what is the point of lockdown only to open market one day, knowing that the market will be more populated than usual. The feedback was if a single infected person walk into that market it is finished. If you ask me the lockdown isn't necessary then, if we can't do it in totality what's the point? Lockdown for 6 days and 1 day to actually come in contact with the virus, that's why cases will keep rising.
A friend travelled from niger state to nasarawa, passing through abuja in the middle of an audio lockdown. Lol. There was a country.
Most of us have chosen the virus over hunger, toh lockdown is just announced but not effected.

Were you alive when Abacha died? Although i have no reason to be happy about Kyaris demise, but i was happy when Abacha died.

afrodoc2:
We are still unclear about that, though it does appear that a small percentage of people can get reinfected while most people are immune after a primary infection.

afrodoc2:
An asymptomatic person can transmit it to a contact who can then die from it.

Europe is a bit easier to balance.

It's very easy to pick a balance squad from South America.

------------------Chilavert--------------------

Cafu-----Passarella-----Figueroa---Carlos

-----Messi----Maradona-------Pelé

-----------Ronaldo--------

Ibime:
Yekini is in the conversation for 2nd or 3rd 11

Kanu is not in the conversation for the 11th 11. Not where Patrick Mboma, Bwalya, Hossam Hassan, Titi Camara and Drogba etc are yet to be accounted for.

Drogba is well behind Yekini in AFCON pecking order. This is someone who couldn't win AFCON with a stacked Ivory Coast team and even missed a penalty to deny his team the win. Soon as he retired, they then won.

Ibime:
Nothing to do with nostalgia.

Just because Eto played 17 years for Cameroon is what gives him these records.

In the glory years of 1998 to 2002 which is what matters he was a junior boy in Cameroon compared to Patrick Mboma who was the mover and shaker, the Yekini of his time and every team feared Mboma, not Eto. Mboma scored 4 goals in Olympics, Eto scored 1 for example.

In the mid-to-late 80s you can ask Nigerians who they dread facing in AFCON and they will tell you Milla. Nigeria always reach semifinal or final in the late 80s only to be knocked out by Milla.

Roger Milla had 43 goals in 77 games for Cameroon
Patrick Mboma had 33 goals in 57 games
Samuel Eto had 56 goals in 118 games

I believe some arithmetic can point you to the senior men from the above.

World Cup, Roger Milla is undisputed.

I try not to use club form to judge players from different generations as European acceptance of African players, and African cultural adaptation to the highest level of European football is a recent phenomenon that only really started accelerating in the mid.1990s and only became established from the mid-2000s. The best African player during Roger Millas era could be playing in Vitoria Setubal or RKC Waalwijk. It was the likes of Arsene Wenger who started to promote African players in Europe in the 1990s and demand decent pay for them starting with George Weah. So just because Eto played for Barca while Milla played for lesser sides, I will use their Cameroon exploits only to compare them within an African context.

Ibime:
Ok bros. Yekini belongs in that conversation for African best and Kanu so they can't be compared on an NT level.

I think Afrodoc summarised perfectly when he said "The kind of confidence Yekini gave Nigerian fans, and the fear he instilled in our opponents is unparalleled in our history." You have to be alive at that time to have this feeling. Infact starting with Yeking is like starting a game 1 goal up.

Compare the feeling of Yeking who you already know.has scored before the game begins,.compared to Kanu who you already know will not score before the game begins, for 5 straight AFCON tournaments.

Godx:
Yes

Ibime:
For Olympics which is an age grade competition.

You don't see anyone harping on Mboma for what he did in Sydney 2000.

Let's be honest, Kanu is an AFCON flop. There are dozens of African strikers to be rated above Kanu who we wouldn't even mention but were AFCON greats like Titi Camara of Guinea, Michel Bassole of Ivory Coast or Coulibaly of Mali. We haven't even come to Kalusha Bwalya, Hossam Hassan, Patrick Mboma and co.

As much as I liked Kanu in the 1990s, his 2000s performance in Afcon is a big scar on his record.

Ibime:
What is Etos impact in World Cup compared to Milla?

You missed the late 1980s where Milla was the beast of AFCON by the way.

If we're talking AFCON, I even rate Patrick Mboma way higher than Eto sef.

Ibime:
Kanu does not have a single goal in AFCON despite attending like 5 tournaments.

Kanu is a nobody in AFCON

afrodoc2:
Kanu is not a terrible pick but I just don’t think he was dominant enough. I personally rate Yekini above him. The kind of confidence Yekini gave Nigerian fans, and the fear he instilled in our opponents is unparalleled in our history.

Ibime:
Who do I leave out between Roger Milla, George Weah, Abedi Pele and Raba Madjer? Not to mention Yekini, Samuel Eto or even Japhet N'doram.

I'm going with the ones who made the biggest impact in AFCON, World Cup and European Cup in that order.

Limited to only the players I watched


GK - Nkono (Grobelaar fought for Apartheid regime so the soil rejects him)

LB - Kwadwo Asamoah (can't think of a great LB for now)
CB - Noureddine Naybet
CB - Kalidou Koulibaly
RB - Lauren Etame

CM - Ahmed Hassan (Xavi of AFCON)
CM - Yaya Toure
AM - Abedi Pele

RW - Mohammed Salah
LW - Sadio Mane

CF - Roger Milla
