Rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, known as Odumodublvck, has ignited a debate on Nigerian football after declaring Mikel Obi as the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time. In a tweet on X, he boldly stated, “Mikel Obi is the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time,” which led to mixed reactions.
While some agreed with Odumodublvck, many fans voiced their disagreement, bringing up other football legends like Rashidi Yekini, Kanu Nwankwo, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha as contenders for the title of Nigeria’s greatest footballer.
Mikel Obi, who had an illustrious career at Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and one Champions League, also made significant contributions on the international stage, winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 and a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics. He was also a runner-up for the African Footballer of the Year in 2013.
Odumodublvck’s opinion has sparked lively discussion among fans, as the debate over Nigeria’s greatest footballer continues, with each player having their own unique accomplishments that have shaped the nation’s football history.
