Rapper Odumodublvck has stirred up controversy with claim that Mikel Obi is the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time.
The statement, made on X, has drawn a mix of reactions from fans and critics.
“Mikel Obi is the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time,” he wrote.
While some agreed with Odumodublvck’s assessment, others argued that legendary players like Rashidi Yekini, Kanu Nwankwo, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha deserve the title.
@GideonGeorge, countered: “Mikel is not the greatest but the most successful, the greatest is Okocha.”
@mmakachi, added: “You know wetin be greatest? Him no even near Stephen Keshi or Chairman Christian Chukwu.”
@OddFeature__ argued: “On paper with stats perhaps, but on the pitch it can only be one answer and ‘he was so good they named him twice’.. Thank you sir for your time
@Akinscoat added: “Where do you want to leave the likes of Stephen Kechi, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Peter Rufai, Ikesoromu, etc?”
@FemiBloomberg wrote: “Kanu Nwankwo is Nigeria’s greatest and most decorated footballer”.
Mikel Obi’s impressive career achievements, including multiple titles with Chelsea and international successes, have added fuel to the debate.
