When it comes to measuring the greatest players in Nigeria, our focus should be on their history and lifestyle, We believe Nigeria has the richest and the most celebrated footballers in Africa. Football is no longer a sport for people with no future ambition. In compiling this list, I have considered both reputation and form. Some of these players are fairly new to the scene but are enjoying remarkable years, while others may be in a career lull but have enduring qualities that consistently place them among the continent’s greatest which makes it very easy for them to acquire whatever they wish, including expensive cars.
