Anytime I remember his impact in the UCL triumph of 2012, his sterlihg performances in the Olympic, Confederation cup, AFCON 2013, Europa Cup, etc, you can't give it to any other man apart from John Mikel Obi. 2 Likes |

Jokerman: Bro you can attack his position, that I support 100% because what he wrote is close to senseless.. but don't lump all Messi fans into your generalization, that is dumb. I don't know why you guys like to stereotype and generalize like illiterates. 1 Like |

Op, your top shows when you started watching football. So, I won't begrudge you. That said, it is ridiculous finding Mikel there. Did you do your research well or was it down to ignorance that you wrote that Philip Osondu played with Kanu at Japan 93? Unbelievable. 1 Like |

I will give it to the legendary Mikel....Mikel played two opposing roles but it never reduced his performance.. He was playing Holding Midfield for Chelsea and Central Midfield for Nigeria but it did not stop him from performance. He modified the Makalele role. crucial in grinding out result and even indirectly played foundation for Simeone's negative football stuff. Even at 32 he was a performer for Trabzonspor who wia topping the league. Kanu is an attacker can be replaced easily in a team but Mikel is a Midfielder that can be replaced easily in a team 2 Likes |

robosky02: Op you know the answer to your question but it seems this lock down has made you create a thread. Without any iota of DOUBT, Papillo remains the best. His singular act at Atlanta '96 was phenomenal. He single handedly took the team's fate in his hands and dribbled both Brazil and Argentina. He secured an equaliser and sealed a desired WIN for us. 1 Like |

Jay Jay Austin Okocha is undeniably the best and still remains number 1 closely followed by Papilo and the rest. |
Re: Who Is Really Nigeria's Greatest Footballer? by zudozz: 11:32am On Apr 01, 2020 |
they no dey argue this one.. Nwankwo Kanu followed by Mikel Obi Others follow. Finidi Amuneke Oliseh Okocha Keshi But if no be injury Amokachi would have been the most successful of them all. |

Mikel obi was a squad player in Chelsea. Not a legend too per say. The greatest Nigerian footballer is yekini followed by okocha and kanu then odegbami 1 Like |

KANU NWANKWO Kanu is a talented and skilful player capable of doing d totally unexpected n thus turning a game completely. His repertoire of goals n tricks is vast n has brought him success at club level, including dutch championship medals n a champion league medal. He has also been d nigerian dream team captain n won an olympic gold medal in 96 after recovering from a life threatening heart ailment. Very gifted, with an eye 4 d unexpected, kanu is what commentators fondly call a 'crowd pleaser'. Kanu is da GOAT |

Astark: Okocha unarguably is the best Nigerian dribbler of all times. He's an entertainer. The essence of football is to score goals which he usually falls SHORT of. 2 Likes |
