No Oscar Pistorius - first Paralympian to compete against able-bodied athletes? Guess the murder charge disqualified him.

DropsMic: I don't know, but if you considered Ethiopia to be part of Africa, then Derartu Tulu, an Ethiopian runner, was the first black African woman to win an Olympic gold medal when she won the women's 10,000 m at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. 2 Likes |

DropsMic:Don't you see their achievements. Chioma won only once and you expect her to be above others who won three and four gold medals too. If you talk about kanu, I will understand not others. Okocha was more of entertainment. |

naptu2: Are you actually trying to discredit his Nigerian roots over claims of his birth place and preferred choice of national representation? Was he not in this same country at some point to "dobale" for your leaders and his Yoruba elders? Does he not fly the Nigerian colours in most boxing rings? |

BoldBrainz: Eusebio was from Mozambique, was he ever shortlisted for African Player of the Year? Marcel Desailly is from Ghana, has he ever been shortlisted for African Footballer of the Year? Saka is from Nigeria, has he ever been shortlisted for African or even Nigerian Player of the Year. Besides, ESPN is an American channel, they consider place of birth. 3 Likes |

naptu2: Your last paragraph clearly spells out the favouritism in the compilation of that absurd list. By virtue of merit, at least we all can agree that the list is lacking substance. It is even the idea of Usman Kamaru making it into the top twenty-five above AJ and Mikel Obi getting a notable mention that's amounting to total absurdity. |

Their achievements speak for them. People no dey remember skills.. Okocha had the opportunity to play for a better club and won trophies but he chose money and mediocrity. If the list continues, Kanu name will be mentioned before his. And this another testament that Messi is greater than CR7. At the end of the day, they look at your achievements to rank them and that is the reason A Yaya Toure will be ranked ahead of the Okochas of this world. Achievements put your name on the sands of time.. |
