Selecting Nigeria's Best Ever.....
The G.O.A.T is restricted considerably to those players who featured prominently for the senior national team. A player's overall accomplishment for his club, Nigerian or foreign, does not override that factor. After all, this is the G.O.A.T. of Nigerian players which essentially requires eligibility based on playing for a Nigerian national team.
We believe that a player considered for G.O.A.T. is one who significantly affects the team statistics of that period. This assumption allows us, therefore, to use some team statistics to gain insight on these players. There are three major calculations that we undertake
Details can be found by clicking the link below:Importantly, on the three statistics, Enyeama is first in rate of conceding goals at the lowest of 0.73 per game and second in the other two categories. Rufai had the best percentage in clean sheets but his efficiency is low. Okala is first on efficiency but third on the other two categories.

Re: Selecting Nigeria's Best Ever.....
Enugu II,
You omitted one other factor when considering a GOAT:
The overall influence on the game (on & off the field)
Some call it the x-factor
The GOAT must have so much influence on the game that the player is a familiar name even beyond the traditional realms of football (in other words, the player widens the appeal of the game, even to people who ordinarily would not have been interested in football)
This factor is significant because it is more measurable than the subjective factor of technical ability of a player
Call it LEGEND, if you please...
So, I humbly submit Yisa Sofoluwe is removed from your list of defenders...
Surely, these LFB's merit the x-factor above Yisa:
Isima
Ojebode
Iroha
They won continental honours for club or country; Yisa won nada...

Re: Selecting Nigeria's Best Ever.....
Uncle EII, it seems you just like to type things on your blog sometime. How can you list the Great players, especially defenders Nigeria has ever produce and not even mention the Great Yobo? That single mistake rubbishes the whole article. I stopped reading at that point and I urge everyone to stop reading at that point as well.

No player before the 94 team should be considered greatest of anything. They never played in any world competition. Never faced the best players in the world like Yobo did for 15 years, never won jack outside of the Nations cup they won at home with lots of questionable calls. Even Zaire went to the WC and they couldn't. They were all village champions.
