Kog45:oga sir APOTY is a big deal oh. 1999 was the last time a Nigerian player won it. For me Osimhen winning the APOTY put him on a different level. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

zicky:yes of course. He is already tagged as one of the best strikers in the world currently and winning the Apoty will elevate he’s status more Not winning a major trophy with Nigeria can’t and won’t rob him of he’s achievements 2 Likes |

Ivory Coast and Algeria that won AFCON in the early 1990s were not minnows o. The only major African team I remember Yekini not scoring against was Ghana something Osimhen funnily enough also shares in common with him. I don't fault Osimhen too much because you can only score against the opposition that is in front of him. I'm only encouraging him to also do it against the big teams. At club level he has shown he can breach the defenses of big clubs like Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea so I'm optimistic he will be a thorn in the flesh whenever we tackle the likes of Senegal, Morocco or Cameroon. charlesemeka85: 1 Like |

chrisooblog:the same way Zambia won it too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Baba from 90-2000 African super powers then were Cameroon,Egypt,Nigeria and Ghana( to an extend) Others like Tunisia,Morocco,CIV,Zambia,SA,Algeria etc were decent teams but below average |

charlesemeka85:Why are you hell bent on making unnecessary comparisons, boss? We have a Nigerian legend and an upcoming one that everyone loves, I don't see any need in watering down the great Yekini's achievements. 37 goals in 56 is an insane stat anytime, anyday. 2 Likes |

hatakekakashi:what prompted the comparison is those saying that even if osimhen surpasses yekini’s record that not winning any thing tangible with the super eagles will rob him of he’s legendary status in Nigerian football |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by ChrisKels: 11:41am On Sep 12, 2023 |
Icon4s: Yekini never played against such opponents or even worse while repping Nigeria? How many did he score against them even with our heavily lubricated midfied and wings spoon-feeding him, unlike what Osimhen has in the midfield and wings now? Hey and that was even when football rules were not as strict as they are today. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
