goldfish80: Okocha had the might to keep playing based on his semi-god status. The arrival of Mikel was the catalyst that made it easy for Okocha to leave. Shakara is different from leaving. |

What ratings?? Are you so lazy to dig up facts for yourself?? You claim to have followed football more than I do and yet you ask me for facts?? I have been screaming since the beginning of your absurd argument to furnish the thread with facts showing Mikel is overrated, non-relevant to the Eagles, and cannot dictate a game.... Have you done so?? I have given you a brief on his achievements, his performances, his summarised Class-Dossier and you ask for ratings. Loolll Can't common sense tell you to go on some facts findings on all our Nigerian players of past, present and future and collate them unbiased into who is who in Nigeria's greatest. Even Christian Chukwu calls Mikel one of Nigeria's best ever midfielders and GOATs and you here typing from wherever you are say otherwise.... You must be flogged. Joebie: 4 Likes |

Christian Chukwu..lol I don't need to collate facts.. a world class player stands out without sentiments.. i've never like Messi... but i've always been a realist. in my opinion he is better than Ronaldo, but everytime I want Ronaldo to win the best player.. so sentiments no dey my dictionary my brother.. world class players stands out.. i dont see anything scintillating in Mikel's game..

TheGoodJoe:Even before Mikel made his super eagles debut, Okocha was already dodging national team engagements. That's a fact. If Nigeria had qualified for the world cup in Germany, Okocha would have stepped out of the pitch a minute for Mikel. |

Mikel is an overrated Nigerian player-Joebie, 2017. What can I say ooo? Abeg Nothing. *Make I just laugh small* I'm not here for an arguement but to make a proposal to coach Rohr n his technical crew to drop John Obi Mikel from our match day squad against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroun come august as some fans have been displeased with his performance since all these yrs point that he has not been justifying his inclusion in the NT. These fans believes that Mikel stay in the NT is long overdue and has contributed little to non to the nations football in recent yrs...blablabla i have decided not to argue wit any Nigerian on Mikel's contribution to the round leather game both locally n internationally. Most of these ppl claim to have been following the game since 1100 AD but fail to identify/recognize players who carry the team on their shoulders. The only ones they notice/see are the ones busy showboating, n probably scoring and the funniest part of it all is that the ones who rarely scores but decide to stay back n bring stability to the team are always culprit of bashing n abuse... This set of ppl are quick to mention Messi n Ronaldo(I'm not taking away anything from them) as yardstick to measure worldclass performance but they've failed to ask themselves why these same players have failed to replicate their clubs achievements in their respective national teams. Football is Team game and until we learn to appreciate other players performances we will not come to understand the beauty of it. Mikel might not be banging in goals for the national team but what he brings(vision, creativity, leadership etc) to the table is second to non and you like it or not he is already a football legend and a national hero. 7 Likes 1 Share |

If you are a realist, then you won't find it difficult grappling with Mikel's legend AND Absolute scintillating quality.... You think you are more realist than I am?... Lolll Abegiii...

Here's one up there... Leader of Nigeria's 1980 Afcon winning side.... Or you wanna tell me Christian Chukwu is no legend abi?... Hahahahahahahahaha... And hey! You need to collate facts... Don't be lazy... Without collating facts, people like you will never know about the likes of Eusebio, Jairzinho, Jean Tigana, Kenny Daglish, George best.... So go do deep facts findings... You think you've seen all games and heard all there is to hear about players' quality.... You are the type being moved by media buzz... Go collate facts biko before you spill more ignorance like Chukwu is not one of our legends too.... And as for dictionary...

Nigeria Rio 2016 Star Sadiq Umar Listed Among Top 20 Youngsters To Watch In Italy The top scorer for Nigeria U23s at the Rio 2016 Olympics Sadiq Umar has been rated among the top 20 youngsters to watch in Italy in the year 2017. On loan to Bologna from Roma, the 20 year old was listed alongside other top prospects in the Serie A, in a list compiled by respected international tabloid Guardian. Read below how he was rated in the piece. »Umar Sadiq, 19, Bologna (on loan from Roma), Nigeria. One looks at Umar Sadiq and immediately thinks he’s not fit for Serie A. Maybe not even for football in general. This is probably what people used to think of Peter Crouch when he first wore a football shirt, but this didn’t prevent him from scoring plenty of goals. And nor is it stopping Sadiq. Last season, the Nigerian centre-forward’s supremacy was quite embarrassing for the opponents of Roma’s youth team – he scored 14 goals in just nine appearances in the Campionato Primavera and Coppa Italia Primavera, five in nine appearances in the Uefa Youth League, plus two in six games in Serie A. Such impressive numbers speak for themselves. In the summer, Roma decided to loan the 19- year-old to Bologna so he could step out of youth football, where he’s too strong for defenders. Unfortunately he has missed most of the season so far due to an ankle injury but, if the surgery shows positive results, the long-limbed striker will be ready to show everybody his killer instinct remains among the grown-ups.

Joebie: Let's face cold hard reality do you know how hard it is to play in one the best teams in the world, Chelsea for a decade and claim consistent first team jersey. Mikel Obi for me has been one if not the most consistent midfielders in the world. If not for Mourinho's defensive restrictions we never got to see the full potential of Mikel obi. Clearly he is world class now if he was few shades lighter to vanilla he would have got a lot more respect. 2 Likes |

goldfish80: Okocha was obsessed with okocha and did a lot of very exciting show boating that looked good but didn't always help the team. Oruma may not have been as skilful but he played a an unselfish team game with end product. I remember him in the Ghana v Nigeria Afcon he was outstanding. Unfortunately JJay didn't like the competition he represented and was not very sportsman like to him. 1 Like |

Cameroon Skipper Echoes Memories Of AFCON Win Against Nigeria When Milla Lifted Trophy Twenty nine years after the substantive Cameroon skipper Emile Mbouh-Mbouh decided that the influential striker Roger Milla should lift the African Cup of Nations, the drama was repeated on Sunday in Gabon after their 2-1 win against Egypt in the final. The Indomitable Lions won their second African Cup of Nations title after beating Nigeria 1-0 in the final, with Emmanuel Kunde netting the only goal of the game in the 55th minute. Milla, then on the books of Montpellier HSC in France, had announced his international retirement, and the trophy was handed to him as a mark of tribute. Captain Benjamin Moukandjo made the same request to Lyon defender Nicolas Nkoulou by allowing him lift the trophy in Libreville. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=21985 1 Like |

komekn: I don't know his name but I'll try to get it latter. It seems you are very new here. Ask anyone on this thread, who is the most vocal on extending invitation to foreign born players to the National team, they will tell you I am da one. I clamored for all the best players you may think of based in England. There are two things that might be hindering these lads from representing us. The first one is the Nigerian factors, you know na, and the second is players willingness to represent us. I know in most cases, Nigeria factors are the bottle neck blocking these lads from representing us but at the same time, some don't want to represent us after been approached. But I'm one of those still insisting that they should be invited first before we assume they are not interested. Ask anyone here. However, we never hear from those invited so far. Aina, Ademola-lookman, the Man city boy etc Abi you get any news for us about dem? 2 Likes |
