Yekini scored 21 goals in 1994 for his club Setubal in the portuguese league

andrewbaba44:
So no Nigerian has ever scored more than 17 goals in a single season in Europe top league ? It’s shameful and we sabi make mouth say we get world class players

So it’s only yak that has scored 17 goals ? That guy deserves some respect

Simmy will surely get to 20 goals

Over 100 goals in Europe added to over 100 goals in Nigeria. The GOAT!!

As in! last game against man city KC was beginning to look threatening ok as a coach you want to freshen things up but who do you take off? your most in form striker ment!

BascoVanVeli:
People always try to paint me as an over patriotic lunatic but if Brendan Rodgers had taken out Iheanacho at the 70th minute like last game where would those 2 goals have come from? This is why I was angry he got taken off last game. U should never take off your most in form player

Joe Aribo is determined to score on a regular basis for Rangers following his stunning strike in Sunday’s 2-1 home win against Hibernian, reports Completesports.com.

The Nigeria international put Rangers ahead on 19 minutes with a fine finish after he was set up by Kemar Roofe.

The midfielder last scored for Steven Gerrard’s side against Dundee United in February.

“I want to keep scoring goals in every single game I play so I’m happy for myself that I could get the opening goal for the team,”Aribo told the club website.


” It is nice finishing, I just watched it from Sky and I took my time to finish it.”


The 24-year-old has scored eight goals in 28 league appearances for Rangers this season.

Called The "GoalsFather" and Ye-KING for great reasons.

Rashidi Yekini.... Ahhhh... Clips of him remain as legendary as they come. I will post some here for Flashback sake even though it's still Monday and not Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday.

This is HIM doing it against Real Madrid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XLtCe3_--M


This is HIM vs Zambia at the Afcon Final '94. Check out AGAIN his thunder of a freekick at 1:55.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaAG2JbT9QI


This is HIM in different shades doing his thing...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I_stOkYuxw



Yekini clips are clips I feed myself with whenever I feel the inspiration around what Nigeria is currently witnessing concerning the League of Extraordinary Hitmen. His Power, his speed, his strides, his technique, his accuracy, his fearlessness, His aerial command, etc...The MOST COMPLETE STRIKER OF HIS TIME.

Yekini is the man we want our Number 1 Striker, Victor Osimhen to surpass at all levels. There's Weah too, Eto'o fils and Drogba. Striker legends we want our forwards to match or even surpass. Yekini belongs to this Class of Striking Greats plus na him be their Papa.
Most North African English speaking fans I encounter in football never fail to make mention of Yekini's greatness from the Golden Generation of Nigerian football in the 90s. That's how much his Greatness still speaks to this day.

Yekini, the greatest striker Nigeria have ever had and one of the best Africa ever produced and the world ever saw.


The fires and hunger for greatness in Yekini seen those days by "my ancestors" live in his reign as the Super Eagles' Undisputed Number 9 and which I have been privileged to see via clips and full videos of Yekini's times as a World Class Super Striker...... I gotta say I see same in the lad Victor Osimhen. And it's no coincidence Osimhen and the other strikers making their marks like Onuachu, Iheanacho, Simy, Moffi, SADIQ, etc belong to the new Generation that could become Nigeria's Next(Second) Golden Generation making good reference to the First and the Only Golden Generation we have seen so far in Naija football.

I was a new born baby during our First Golden Generation in the 90s.
But now, I am a young adult and witnessing the rise of our Second/Next Golden Generation.
So shall it be...

BascoVanVeli:


Watch dakkada and find out. Did u expect me to have a scouting report done or something?

So you don't have any scouting report or any additional information on him apart from the fact that he was signed by Dakkada?. I just want to know what makes his signing newsworthy.....or do you intend to post news of every single Deeck, Tom and Harry that signs for any team in Nigeria?

I am not feeling this Aribo guy ,one bit. I still prefer Mikel Agu , the U17 boy that played against Algeria and Onyeka.

realpoacher:
Every of Our Homegrown Najia origin players komekn had insulted in the past are currently doing relatively well by painting the whole of Europe red with goals each weekend from Simy to Osimehn to Iheanacho to Sadiq to Moffi to Onuachu to Olayinka etc whereas all his init borough boys which he has been trying to force down our throats are currently no where to be found, many have been confirmed to be waste pipes strapped to the bench.

These are the supposed messiah of SE that were groomed in the very youth setup of the UK academy with exposure to foreign facilities, coaching and support yet they can't even cut it within their own familiar system. Please where is Josh Onomah?, Solanke? Eze?, Aderiabayo? And almighty Tammy Abraham?

From all evidences available before us, it shows that we in support of locally groomed players knows football very extensively and also knows what these guys are capable of doing and have been proven right but it also shows that sir komekn our resident in house Southgate knows absolutely nothing about football and even his so called English football specialty tag is false and as such he should shamefully tender an apology to the house,

He should be arrested henceforth whenever he comes here again to speak thrash against any of our players again...


For the mean time tho, may thunder fire him wherever he is for trying to cause division here in the past by poisoning our minds with his complete bias against our homegrown players

I strongly believe we have a superior pool of talent in Nigeria than England. Otherwise , give me an example of an English born Nigerian that has ever wowed you in green white green. These boys need us more than we need them.

Portuguese league like charlesemeka rightly noted was one of the top leagues in europe during that era. english football wasn't as dominant as they are now. Italy was were the big boys went to play with germany, france and spain also accounting for the rest of the best talent. What Yekini and Owobukiri achieved then would be like Moffi scoring 20 goals in the french league.

Apart from the Porto's and Benfica's Sporting Lisbon was also good. Infact Emmanuel Amunike joined Barcelona straight from Lisbon during that decade.

12large1:
The way napoli players celebrate with osimehn when he scored made me realize that there isn't any personal discord with him rather they're not used to his fast pace style that's why he doesn't get as much ball as he does at SE. Osimehn is a player that thrives on pace, Running etc while napoli thrives on Slow paced football. So, in order for osimehn to excel napoli has to change their philosophy to suit him or osimehn should change his own philosophy to suit napoli style.. Good goal today!

Vardy replacement??

with the way the English and French league were at that time I think it's debatable that the Portuguese were up to their level.

Paul Ebere Onuachu's 29th goal of the season in all Competitions over the weekend @3:32

No ooo I should have even added his report card and birth certificate put

So u are saying an U17 player being signed by a club in the top division of the country is not news worthy I have seen countless of young players posted on here without a scouting report or anything, just that they have been signed by so and so club.

So what is your real issue with the post I made?

I thought that first goal was an Onuachu assist. We tend to overlook his assists and involvements in other goals scored by his team mates, for the simple reason that he scores with reckless abandon

IDENNAA:

The Mikel Agu you prefer is a bench warmer who has neither scored a goal nor provided a single assist this season. Though he's had an injury, he's had enough time to pick up since early February. Aribo who you don't like, has had a similar injury and picked back form very quickly.

In terms on national team impact, Mikel Agu has not had any impact whatsoever in the national team. Aribo on the other hand stamped his place with two consecutive goals for Nigeria. His only bad game was the Sierra Leone window.

Watching those Yekini clips just gave me goosebumps.

Yekini was a player that once he got the ball near or within the 18yards box you would almost be sure something was about to happen. He would hit the ball with so much power that most times it would either be a net tearing goal, the keeper prevents the goal with a fantastic save or the ball hits the bar. Majorly from 1988 to 1994 he was a defenders and goalkeepers nightmare.

I watched one of his documtaries shortly after his death and knelt down to shed tears. And my wife was like....."was he your uncle or family member, why being so emotional?". I just told her "you will not understand".

Yekini brought Joy to all Nigerians back then. We really lost a Gem.


Osimhen, I am not sure I would want to compare him with Yekini yet.

My brother, were you here last Month when I dropped this post below, and these people came for my head?

ChrisKels:
I don't get moved by these foreign born or bred players no more, none of them has ever turned out an exceptional player, for either Nigeria or any of their adopted countries. Our best players have always been the ones we produced down here in Nigeria.

Funny enough, the only exceptions to me have been the ones we turned down - Alaba and Emmanuel Adebayo, and none of those who turned us down for their adopted European countries have come an inch close to these two.

A shame they didn't give it as an assist. But that's an assist in my book. Onuachu is obviously one of the most influential players in all of Genk's attacking plays this season. Seen enough of his other games and then some others via highlights to reach this conclusion.

ChrisKels:

Wow Aribo has really transformed from the lanky girraffe-like player 1 year ago

Everybody have their opinion but i can beat my chest that idena doesnt like Aribo

No sane person will take a mikel agu over aribo, even chriskels thats not a fan of aribo wont do that

No Dad. Don't get it twisted. This is not an Osimhen-Yekini comparison. It is only a post testifying to the Ultimate Greatness of the Goals Lord and the most complete striker of the 90s, Yekini and speaking of a young lad who could go on to rekindle such glorious moments in the National team colours in the same attacking role.
Also made reference to the "Fire" and "Fearlessness" present in both Strikers. The Legend and the Lad.

Osimhen, The Lad, is still growing. So no comparisons at all.



Meanwhile... I didn't enjoy the huge privilege to see Prime Yekini live. But I am thankful for Video technology. Lol. What a player. What a legend. The True Super Striker.

Both are the same . Don't be surprised if he says that Onyeka is better than Aribo. They can't be balanced in opinion.
