Ibra, Kane, Ronaldo say hi, they are natural.leaders. Osimhen is a natural leader too, honestly I think.he will make a.good coach when he retires.

You mentioned these strikers as captains abi?

I just feel that a captain is like a second coach on the pitch. So if he's a goalkeeper or defender or midfielder, he'd see the game fully than attackers who most times play with their back to their own side of the pitch. It's just a notion I have in my head sha.

AndSunGorilla:

Sir Victor Ikpeba didn't achieve much with Nigeria but he did.a.lot personally and he's still a legend, Osimhen has raised the profile of Nigeria right now whether we like it or not.

Victor Ikpeba was an Olympic Gold medalist. Couldn't feature at the 1996 and 1998 AFCONs due to Abacha's decision and corresponding CAF ban. 2000 AFCON could have been his time but he wrongly adjudged himself to have missed a penalty when he scored. He was 1997 APOTY. Despite Nigeria's absence from those two consecutive AFCONs and being on the bench for Yekini in 1994 I will say he is among Nigeria's successful players.

Oga AndSunGorilla,who Dey remember Ikpeba or Dey rate Ikpeba though successful

Nigeria World cup qualifier must be a team work not padding of goals cuz I remembered how France lost out during 1994 WC qualifiers,losing last two matches to Israel and Bulgaria.I will not forget how Italy lost out to North Macedonia….Abi you don forgot we lost to CAR and recently to Guinea Bissau at home.

Nigeria World Cup qualification cannot be traded for anything,South Africa is in our group and no way for Ghana episode again,it would be painful if we lost out to over confidence.

I never insinuated that qualification should be traded for goals

Qualification should be achieved via team work, every member of the team has his own role to play and osimhen’s major role is to put the ball at the back of the net

So putting the ball at the back of the net which he does best will make him get 4 against Lesotho home and away and 5 shared among the remaining teams 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kog45:
My lawyer longtime o (IF) many players lost out to IF…

Plenty Ifs ooo. Forumites often laugh at bannedlarge who continues to bewail our missing Qatar WC but Walahi I won't lie, that miss pain me. That WC was the best and we come miss am.

charlesemeka85:
that one na for sure

I get hope say Lesotho 🇱🇸 go chop like 4 goals home and away from em hand during the World Cup qualifiers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then others fit manage 5 which will bring he’s goal tally to 29🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Then in afcon him fit net 4-5 goals depending how far the team goes bringing the total goals to 33-34 goals

How many goals come remain for the yekini record mk osimhen equal am?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

17 goals. Time and age is on his side.

if he featured at the 96 and 98 afcon na him for lead the attack self cus he was blazing hot then

charlesemeka85:
e no concern us the main thing be say osimhen go break the record before 2026 World Cup 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hmmm 18 goals from the 2026 WCQ, 2024 AFCON, 2026 AFCON Qualifiers and 2026 AFCON. Yes, doable but has to remain in excellent form all through.

Mujtahida:

after afcon and World Cup qualifiers e go just remain like 3 goals for osimhen to equal yekini’s record 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:

I don’t think so cuz he was on the bench at Atlanta 96…the team list of Afcon 96 comprised of US 94 and Atlanta 96 team with Yekini,Siasia,Rufai,Eguavoen,Iroha,Adepoju,

yes he will

World Cup qualifiers osi baba go get like 10 goals, afcon next year him go get like 4-5 goals depending on how far the team go progress

10+5=15, 15+20 = 35, how many goals come remain to equal the record?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:

Exactly, Ikpeba was really hot between 1995 and 98. He was Africa's hottest striker then. Playing for AS Monaco. He could have led the Super Eagles frontline and Nigeria could have won at least one of those two AFCONs (1996 and 98) considering the quality of players we had then.

Mujtahida:

There is no need arguing…Osimehn is breaking it.

hmmm you are right though

charlesemeka85:
it added more to his name but not winning it wouldn’t hv robbed him of his goat status

He was already regarded as one of the goats that hv ever played the game many years ago before his World Cup achievement with Argentina

Baba, winning the WC is what put the goat debate beyond argument oo. If Messi had not won it, it would have continued to be highly debated whether he's the goat or not.

charlesemeka85:
yes he will

Average of 2 goals per game , wey Principe and Saotome no dey

The 2013 UEFA game or all this legends match?

As hot he was I don’t see him leading the line in 96afcon cus at Atlanta he was a second fiddle player

Osimehn like other super eagles players will trade any personal achievements for Afcon trophy and World Cup qualification.

Yekini, Siaone and Adepoju didn't play at the '96 Olympics.

Nigeria played mostly a 4-4-2 formation with Ikpeba as the CF and Kanu as SS.

Adepoju was not a CF, Siasia was already on a decline in 1996 same with Yekini.
