Renowned rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has ignited a heated discussion among football fans with his recent take on Nigerian football history. The “Cast” hitmaker took to X to proclaim Mikel Obi as the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time, stating, “Mikel Obi is the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time.”

The declaration quickly divided opinions online. While some fans echoed Odumodublvck’s sentiment, others strongly disagreed, citing legends like Rashidi Yekini, Kanu Nwankwo, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, and more as their picks for Nigeria’s top footballer.

Mikel Obi’s illustrious career bolsters the rapper’s claim. At the club level, he enjoyed immense success with Chelsea, securing two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and a coveted Champions League trophy. Internationally, he led Nigeria to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title and earned a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics. In 2013, he was also named runner-up for the African Footballer of the Year award.
