    Okocha was very good but the supremacy belongs to Abedi Pele.

    The French speaking countries continues to cheat so far as Hayatou continues to be there. We all know Okocha in football but its very sad.

  • B B-Nartey 10 years ago

    I liked your father's football a lot, but dribbling skillwise, Okcha was his superior.

    Okocha was better than Abedi.he play with Abedi,Anthony yeboah,Rashid yakeni,keshi,Amokachi,frimpong manso,Ampia,Armah senegal and the rest Okocha went to World Cup.

    Nigeria had one of the best team in Africa. But Abedi Pele was in a class of his own. He was simply the best, never compare Okocha to Pele. Okocha was good but comparing him to Abedi Pele will be too much. I watched both of t ...

    Okocha was miles ahead of verworking Abedi...Okocha was class n should have been a nominee for the World footballer of the year.

  • Michael Wiafe 10 years ago

    True, Abedi never had a bad game in his entire career. He was born to play football!

  • B B-Nartey 10 years ago

    What about the semi-final against Ivory coast, I still have the video. Abedi had loads of bad games, especially for Ghana, so please.

  • Blade 10 years ago

    The semi final was against Nigeria not Ivory Coast. Abedi played very well in that game and stored 1 of the 2 goals Ghana had. The final against Ivory Coast he didn't play due to suspension

  • kwasi 10 years ago

    Noone should ever compare Okocha to Abedi. Abei is peerless in africa in terms of football. Noone comes near. The great George Weah admits this fact. Okocha was nowhere near the maestro. Infact if you go to Nigerai they the N ...

  • SAM 10 years ago

    PLEASE YOUNG AYEW WINNING THE BEST AFRICAN PLAYER IS NOT ABOUT SKILLS.OKOCHA NEVER WON THE BEST AFRICAN PLAYER HOWEVER HE IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST GIFTED PLAYER THAT AFRICA HAS EVER PRODUCED PERIOD.

  • Son Of Man 10 years ago

    You are on the African Sportsman award again? Let it go. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was far better than you last season. It's not even close. Yaya Toure was more valuable and played better for his team than you. Accept thi ...

  • FBI 10 years ago

    There are three skillful players of my generation. That is Abedi Pele, Okocha and Kulasha. Oppong Weah, Roger Milla and Co were equally good but not supremely talented as the above trio. If there is one talented footballer I ...

    Austin jay jay okocha was better than Abedi pele in terms of skills and technique of the game.People should be honest not bcos Abedi is from Ghana.

  • Canada 10 years ago

    That is Ghana man ooo,jj was unique

  • Gazza 10 years ago

    Abedi could have easily the best african player today. He was in the class of Maradona but because he came from Africa could not win world best during his time. My countryman George Weah won it and it is only African to do it ...

    Okocha was the greatest...slippery as ice. Abedi was a workaholic and got rewarded for his extra graft but Okocha made football look easy.

    Your father and issah hayatu was among those who sabotage okocha
