SHTFguy: Oga don't say what you don't know. Jay Jay was his elder brother's nickname which later rubbed off Austin. Do you even know what Jay Jay from good times looked like? There's no way okocha looks like him. |

Mathematical Odegbami was given the nickname because he was an engineer and very good at maths. It actually has nothing to do with his football skills |

Fawklicant: Mr man long before Okocha played for the national team he was known in Germany as Jay-Jay b b team mates, club fans and football commentators. Did he carry his brother to Germany with him? For proof search YouTube for that classic match where Okocha scored a fabulous goal for frankfurt and hear the commentator call him Jay-Jay. Note Westehoff had yet to invite Okocha to join the super eagles club. That match in frankfurt is what ma Nigerian press put pressure on westterhoff to invite Okocha whose first match was in '94 against South Africa where he scored a free kick.
