Your last paragraph is actually my argument. So why are you rating Yekini ahead of Oshimen? He could not even qualified the team to AFCON 1986 nor the World cup 86 while Oshimen qualified Nigeria to AFCON 2022 as the highest goal scorer. Oshimen has done more for Nigeria at 24 than Yekini. No more, no less!
Icon4s:


Nigeria did not feature at the 1986 AFCON. At 20 Yekini was the leading striker in Shooting stars and featured at the 1984 AFCON. There were just a handful of African players playing in Europe as at then. Note that AFCONs of the 80s and 1990 had only 8 teams and hence less matches compared to now. 1992 AFCON had 12 teams of 4 groups. 16 team AFCON started in 1996. The more the number of games the more the number of goals scored by players. Most of the AFCONs Yekini featured had only 8 teams with maximum of 5 games. Yet he emersed a total of 37 career goals. Meaning if we had 16 or 24 teams like we have today, Yekini could have scored a lot more.

Osimhen has already featured in one AFCON which is the 2019 edition. He missed out on the 2021/22 edition due to injury, just like Yekini missed out of the 1986 edition because we didn't qualify. Yekini came back smoking in the 1988 AFCON, let's see what Osimhen will do at the 2024 AFCON.

I wanted to ask about him cos with this surplus of strikers our midfield is too thin oo.

We need somebody who will make the team jell. If not having plenty strikers without midfielders will mean our team is not balanced. Front set. Middle and back never set.

Why dem Yekini no beat Ghana for AFCON 1992 Semis? Imagine Ghana not having Partey and Kudus in midfiled during that match. I hate when people are economical with the truth. Ndidi and Iwobi unavailability cost us that game coupled with Bonke and Onyeka's injury during the game. Yet we didn't lose the game. No team will get a draw from us with that much injured midfielders!

Oga Marjori,Osimehn as at today has not done more than Yekini in eagles 🦅 Yekini 1993/1994 is left for Osimehn to beat….winning Afcon and taking us to WC which he has kick started on a brighter note.

At 22 years (1986) where was Yekini! At 22 years Oshimen was already one of the best strikers in the world (AFON and World Cup qualifiers highest goal scorer) but missed the AFCON through injuries. At 20 years, Oshimen already had AFCON bronze.

At 24 years, he has achieved what Yekini could only dreamed of! At this stage of Yekini's life he can't lace Oshimen's shoe. And what Oshimen will achieve in the future will only be a pipe dream for Yekini.
For now Rashidi pass Osimhen. Can he surpass Rashidi? Yes and we are eagerly rooting for him to do so.

Then the spirit of the AFCON was different from the WCQ.
The WCQ was the big thing then. AFCON was just too routine.
Enroute 1994 WC we had the 1990 and 1992 AFCON Champions in our group (Algeria and CIV) and na 4:1 we dashed both teams. Yekini was on rampage at the National stadium in Surulere (then called the slaughter house grin)

Based on what? At 24 years, Oshimen has been nominated for Ballor something Yekini couldn't even get in his entire career!
I watched Yekini's game live. Do you know the number of chances Yekini missed at AFCON 1994 semis and finals and the World Cup?
We could have easily lost AFCON 94 semis to the Ivorians if not for Ben Iruoha spectacular goal.
Yekini's greatest period was 93/94 yet he had just one world cup goal and missed sitters when it mattered most.

What did Yekini achieved for Nigeria? No AFCON final winning goal. So?
Oshimen will score 100 goals for Nigeria. You all can ... You all keep disrespecting him and it is becoming nauseating!

Oga Kog oo! I am just being emphatic nothing more, Egbon! What I meant is that our boys will still play for their club this coming weekend, even one has a match friday night. Had it been Sao Tome game was played on Thursday they could have time to rest and play a friendly on Tuesday before flying to their clubs. No team that played this Sunday is playing a friendly this week. Only those teams that played Thursday/friday are playing friendlies today/tommorow.
