afrodoc2:
Not a terrible pick but I don’t think that’s the best answer.
Kanu Nwankwo is a legend of the game in Nigeria but how dominant was he in his sport in the continent or globally.
In the ranking of greatest ever footballers what is his global rank?
Even greatest ever African footballers, where does he rank?
Is he even the greatest ever Nigerian footballer?

Recently when people were naming our all time 11 I don’t remember many people mentioning his name.
What was his output in terms of goals for the national team, especially in big tournaments?

@bolded: That is the reason why he is FIRMLY in contest to be the greatest Nigerian sportsman.

Remember your original question is Who is the greatest Nigerian sportsman? And why?

We can't use the world ranking to choose the greatest Nigerian.

Compare him with his counterparts in the country not in the continent or world.

Even in the continent he was a 2 time African footballer of the year, A 2 time BBC foot Aller of the year, Olympic Gold medal winner (first in Africa in the men's football category), Nigeria league winner.... Haba put respek for this guy name na.

Kanu might not be the goal machine that Ronaldo is, but you see those two goals against Brazil in Atlanta? Those 2 goals are enough to make him Nigeria's all time greatest!

Because people didn't choose him in their all time XI here didn't mean he doesn't deserve it. People didn't put Ronaldo in their EPL all time XI here too unless someone made a case for him and others started changing their line ups.

As far as Nigeria sports is concerned, for me, it is Kanu Nwankwo.

"I'm not sure ...."

I like strikers that could score goals a lot.

Vieri was that striker i admired alot when he was in inter. It's like bringing Ronaldo de lima's picture, if you like cut his neck, i will be able to identify him.

Good.

But why did you lie?

afrodoc2:
His story is still being written. He is on the way there but if he retires today he would not be regarded as an all time great. But that is by the way.

Another question. Who is the greatest Nigerian sportsman of all time? And why?

Kanu Nwankwo.

Because his trophy cabinet speaks for itself. Both individual and team awards. Na only World Cup remain for this guy.

airmark:


None of the two options was correct. I am not sure you know Vieri more than i do. Even the day he posted it on IG i saw it.

Cesc Fabregas ko, Cesc Fabulous ni.

And what makes you think you know Vieri more than I do?

airmark:
I wanted you to even mention Morata sef.

Why i no know who i post, when i deliberately cropped out the logo and number.

Full pic

If you had wanted to hear from me specifically, you would have ignored Roland's answer till I post mine.

You're either a plain liar or you did a research on a photo you posted

Choose one

chic2pimp:
You probably should have.....LOL You put him off jor

Vieri was the first name on my mind till I saw him say Vieri is wrong. That's plain dishonesty, not even being tricky!

The next name in my mind is Andreas Christensen (who actually resemble this Vieri pic). I no know how I go dig up Fabregas sef

airmark:
Ronald17 got it though.

Vieri.

So you sef no know who you post

First time I saw the photo na Vieri come my mind but this your reply made me change my mind...

airmark:
You are wrong bro.

iamoyindamola:
Tim Cahill
Nawa oo, I removed demba and concentrate on Henry and mustafi team mates they had in common

Correct.

Not as tough as I thought sef

This will be tough.

Let me see if you will get the next one

Who am I?

afrodoc2:
Beckham played with all 3 also .

Correct.

nihilistjnr:
Na Reina

Did Reina play with Ronaldo? Not sure.

Time yourself. How long did it take you to spot Zlatan Ibrahimovic?

And if you spot him, don't spoil the fun for others.

afrodoc2:
Not sure what your answer is, but David Beckham played with all three. The guy in your pic looks left footed though.

The shaded guy is just an illustration, not the actual player.

nihilistjnr:
Owen

Nope

Still on "who am I?"

afrodoc2:
