Former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has sparked controversy by excluding Rashidi Yekini and John Obi Mikel from his selection of the greatest-ever Nigeria starting eleven. The news was shared on the official Super Eagles account on X, without including Victor Osimhen, who currently holds the record for Nigeria's second-highest number of goals in international competitions.
The team, which features Yakubu alongside Nwankwo Kanu, showcases a mix of players from Nigeria's celebrated 1990s and 2000s squads. Notable omissions include Daniel Amokachi, Obafemi Martins, and Victor Ikpeba, with Yekini's absence being the most significant.
