Those who were born in the eighties and Nighties are not in position to successful choose Nigeria,s best Goal keeper of all time aside politics.. No Nigeria Goal keeper dead or alive was better than Man Mountain Emmanuel Okala who was Super Eagles NO1 for many years and Won the nations cup in 1980 in a fabulous manner with the likes of The Greatest Nigerian No 7 ever Segun Odegbami and the Greatest Nigerian 11 ever Adokie Amasimaka of Sharks of Port Harcourt and The Greatest 5 Ever Chairman Christian Chukwu whose greatness was tanish as a result of his poor coaching records.Peter Rufai of 1984-1990 was a solid Rock far above Vincent Enyeama..Rufai under Westerhof that most young people know was a photo copy of the original Rufai.. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Vincent Enyeama easily. I don't rate Rufai personally. Basket to me. The older generation love him though. But some really terrible goals were conceded by him in Onana-esque ways. Ike too. Individual performance is still Enyeama. A Nigerian match is about to be played against a tough opponent but you will relax because Enyeama is going to even the odds. Then he organized his defense well and talked at them to align whenever they were misbehaving. It worked too. Confidence too. Ask Mweene of Zambia during that pk shootout. 3 Likes |

Vincent Enyeama is the greatest Nigerian goalkeeper of all time. His records at the Super Eagles and clubsides speak for itself After Enyeama, it should be Peter Rufai. He was so good in his prime. But when he was called back from retirement, he wasn't half as good and that tainted his legacy a bit. After Peter Rufai, it should be Emmanuel Okala. He had a great rival in Segun Ogedengbe and that kept him on his toes. The common feature among the three is that they were in goal when Nigeria won her three AFCON titles in 1980, 1994 and 2013. So it is clear that we need a good goalkeeper to win another AFCON title. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Peter Rufai. Enyeama is close. The kids here don't know how good Rufai was. Rufai was on another level at the 1994 nations cup and World cup. Enyeama on the other hand was capable of great saves but in the same games will make silly errors leading to the games being lost. Rufai played for many European teams. Beceren, Lokeren, Go ahead Eagles, Deportivo etc. Enyeama only played in Israel and Lille. Rufai was able to command his defence such that you don't have to shoot muck at him. He was superb at cutting out crosses too. Enyeama was good at stopping shots but overall, Rufai nicks it based on contribution to the national team 4 Likes |

zoghys: Peter Rufai was doing well because of quality of players in his era, compare to that of Enyeama where many of the players were just average. In record breaking, Enyeama is very far better than Rufai. Enyeama remains the Nigeria best keeper ever. He was voted for Africa's best keeper ever. |

tunjijones:Sir with all due respect, Patrick Okala is the younger brother of the legendary Emmanuel Okala whose name was omitted. Also Best Ogedengbe is another legend whose name has been omitted. Besides Enyeama, the most successful Nigerian goalie in Europe Willy Agbonivbare was also omitted. Thank you. To answer the question, in my opinion, the .ost successful is Vincent Enyeama. 1 Like |
