Even Yaya is a better player than Drogba.
Abeg go and watch 92 ANC and see some CIV ballers.Drogba is popular does not mean the best

[Rawlings]

Mali- Seydou Keita

Besides, Nigeria is also incorrect

Han????

Most of the '92 squad are folks I know very well. Adbdoulaye Traore, Sie Donald Olivier, Sam Abouo Dominique, Serge Magui Alain, Youssouf Fofana, Kassi Kouadio Lucien, Tiehi Joel, Dao Lacina etc.... They all pale compared to Drogba's accomplishment, who by the way is the higher goal scorer for the Elephants.

By the way, thanks for Adding Seydou Keita to Mali...I don't know how I forgot about him.

Cheers!!!

[Idika]

I believe Nigeria best player was Rashidi Yekini.

I don't know, which is why I asked. I ain't no soccer expert. Is anything wrong in asking ???
Ask me about table tennis, or the bible or the quran and I will be able to answer. I can even tell you WHO the best Ghanaian table tennis ever was...

And if Nigeria is wrong, please correct. That was the purpose of the post.

Cheers!!!

You are half Ghanaian so you should be very good with ancient history. Thunder Balogun is Nigeria's best ever followed by Okalla

Kanu almost won the African Cup of Nation.

If winning the African Cup of nations is the determiner then this is a futile exercise
African footballer of the year should count
