Thank God for where this wisdom came from. Without recognizing these guys, we won't be able to have another blessed team. Apart from being a good team, they were also lucky. And they formed the backbone of the Atlanta 96 Dream Team
Before David Beckham we had the more complete Finidi George. I will never forget the foreign commentators pouring accolade on the immense strength, versitily and maturity of a young Sunday Oliseh, Our Marcell Dessailly. Jay Jay was in a class all on his own.
These guys should be honored and get them involved in our National Team to share their Experiences with our Team......... These guys are the Best. I'm watching and having some beautiful Feelings. God Bless you Guys and God Bless Nigeria.
Rashidi Yekini was the most clinical and dedicated. Samson Siasia was the most complete striker of this set. The only player matching him was Julius Aghahowa.God bless this 94 set.
Oh lord, where did we got it wrong as a nation? Kindly forgive us, and return Nigeria to its past where love of our dear nation will be paramount in our hearts. This is most emotional speech I have ever heard about Nigeria. Imagine what is currently going on in our dear nation today!!!
As a kid, the most mentioned Nigerian football player by every commentator was "Rashidi Yekini" and it's always "... Rashidi Yekini is a, is a goooaaaaallllllllllll!" ❤❤❤
Thank you Amaju for giving this 1994 Eagles recognitions, it's painful keshi, Yekini, Oliha, okafor and Agbonibare are no more but their memories lingers on. I pray you others live long to eat the fruits of you labour in Jesus name amen. Love you guys😘😘
Daniel Amokachi was my favorite super eagles players in the 94 squad even till date. He gives everything and fight for the jersey. Today Victor Osimhen is our new Daniel Amokachi. He is actually an hybrid of Yekini and Amokachi....
Super team first Nigerian team to qualify for the world cup which is why it's the best team Nigeria has ever produced we all have fond memories of that team.
Football: the only thing that brings all Nigerians together. I have never heard anyone say, look at how this ibo man, hausa man or yoruba man missed that goal. I think the way forward to destroy tribalism is football.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 was a great entertainer team I ever seen in Africa as Ethiopian from East Africa I used to support them when they played against world countries but today I did not see a classical player like Jay Jay ockocha Babayaro sandy olishe and Trbo west and Babagida Amokachi Nigeria government should focus on the soccer to produce best players
This is when EAGLE were actually EAGLES my God? What a squad even they loses? You guys were men to be proud of putting on Nigeria Jersey contrary to yeye eagles of today? May you all live long & those that passed away rest in peace, amen
@@african-history-fountain if you like you can call me a slave. I will still say the truth. If not for people like westerhof we would not have seen that then
A true gentleman and gentlemaen on the stage they deserve this and more. Hear speech don’t think these recent players can give such emotional speech anyways after this set I lost interest in Nigerian football cis even though I wasn’t a football fan these guys made me love it then .
And why do i feel Austin Eguaveon felt left out in the speech? So typical of him, very quiet and unassuming. Just wanted to get the job done and happy for the others to take the accolades. He won my full respect when as the winning captain of the 1994 Nation's cup team, he 'handed over' the captain's responsibilities to the Late Stephen Keshi during the Cup presentation.
Those of you giving thumbs down, una sure say una well so? If you did it by mistake or a slight of finger I apologise otherwise learn to respect pace setters those who paved the way for you to buy boots for your children to play today. These men are the reason why football in Nigeria is no longer defined as a sport for reef rats and robbers today except you're a millennium baby you'll never ever understand what am say here, footballers in Nigeria where once seen as criminal elements or jobless people. Please stop the thumbs down and applaud them for breaking barriers
You look smart but your reasoning says otherwise here. You need to recognise that (one man's meat is another man's poison ) This is why NIGERIA is always in conflict, authoritarian mentality coupled with uncivilised mindset. With all due respect kindly re-educate yourself sir
You can see your comments stands out as being odd. Oliseh is one of the finest captain that Super Eagles. Eagles fell because that set was given disgraceful exit. People spirits fight, when they are treated the way they don’t deserve
@adeyemijonathan7844 So what if my comment is different from others? If you want to be the stooge and "yes-man" for the whole world, agreeing with them because you are shopping for "likes," be my guest. Me, I have a right to have a different opinion and to express it and I just did that. Deal with it.
@@dipoajax being different is not the same as being hateful and unreasonable. Oliseh was humiliated out of the Super Eagles because of standing for his teammates as the skipper. Duke Udi stated Oliseh’s sterling qualities as a leader. He was sick but sacrificed his health to save Nigeria from the disgrace of Senegal right in Lagos in 2000. Due to his stand for his teammates, a minister of sport said it’s over his dead body that Oliseh will go to 2000 World Cup. The minister died in a plane crash before the World Cup. May GOD rest his soul. You don’t course who GOD blesses. Don’t say negative things about what and who you really don’t know.
@adeyemijonathan7844 I didn't know you knew so much about Oliseh. Congrats on that. Your perception of Oliseh as a great leader is your opinion. I will not argue against that because you are entitled to it. However you need to recognise and appreciate that others' opinion may be different from yours and it is OK if that happens. It doesn't show anything about their character (or lack thereof) or even their dispostion towards the person in question. It is just an opinion based on their OWN perception. No more, no less. You need to respect that. All your rant about "hateful", "unreasonable" etc are not necessary and I won't go that rabbit-hole with you. I respect your perception, respect mine. Period. Have a great week ahead.
I remember immediately this team qualified for USA '94 world cup and the team list was released, there wasn't any single Hausa player going to our first world cup. So there was politics to try to smuggle tijani babangida into the squad but there was nobody to drop from the squad for him. Would you drop finidi or ikpeba for babangida?
noni noni exactly what I meant. He was in junior team where they tried out taking throw-ins with the leg. After that competition, he emerged into Atlanta 96 then his first World Cup in 98
@official ManOfHisDreams Na this kind reasoning dey spoil Nigeria. Somebody is not part of a squad, you said they should include him because he has "done well to deserve it". What type of reasoning is that? Perhaps they should include Kenneth Hagins, Oral Roberts, Enoch Adeboye and Apostle Paul in the list of 12 disciples "because they have done well to deserve it". Hope you can see the inanity in that reasoning? Facts are facts. This list is not about who "deserves" to be there but about who was actually there. biko. Taribo was NOT a member of Team 94. Period. Let's leave it at that. When they are honouring Team 96 and beyond, we will call him.
In the animal life cycle and system are food chains and food pyramids. I have no business with the Nigerian way of life, for I am not Nigerian. My first question is why didn't Sunday Oliseh speak in your native tounge? Most of you are struggling in Nigeria. Your gov organises this event, because (speculation) these and their families are the elite voters. Who will they vote for, I guess now you know. Oliseh hitchikked this speech, and he is not a good public speaker. Just ask Eugevon (notice the tension in Austin) and many standing on the stage. Oliseh was one of the last to come into this squad, Rufai should have spoke was there since 83. Were is Westerhoff? Because his vote doesn't apply, there was no need to have him there, yet he is the one with the key to the success of this team not Oliseh! Just watch the video of the late Stephen Keshi when he tells about AFCON 94 and qualifying for the world cup. He was good a good public speaker that is what made him a successful coach and player around the world. What kind of speech does someone ask at some point saying "am I lying?" I mean this is what happens when you don't have higher education. Yet I look at the comments section and not see one who sees what I'm seeing. Yet I will tell you that these have never bettered your lives. Some of you work and get paid equivalent of $50 a month and some even $2 yet you come to praise these men. When re you going to cry out and say when is my chance to be appreciated as a human by my government, rather than they allocating money to over- compensated already puffed up egos. Since these men have retired they have not improved household earning power of the average Nigerian home, they only sought to improve their own. Where are the rest of you in the food pyramid of life! I am African and am more often now am shocked by the way my so called pple think. Truth now lacks. Your eyes are now waxing dull. Your judgements are now dross. I left Africa 16yrs ago, by God, the God of Israel, yet I always feel it's just last week I left. I fail, probably, to recognise the vast hectares of change that have transpired in the way the pple is thinking. When will I accept that Africa has changed vastly since I left. I want you to watch the video where Oliseh spoke about the jelousy in the camp plus the big commotion before the Italian game, yet on this day he spoke about tightness and unity. Hah?!? I guess everyone on the stage is just happy to see each other again. Bonferre is in Nigeria, Christian Chukwu was in this team as coach, many should have spoken. But instead it was mister unpredictable, asking pple retorical questions on stage via mic. I wish he laughed then one could say he is a comic, but rather I think he is unstable. Maybe African pple have not changed, they still love drama, anyway it comes. Because this is drama on stage, you don't really know how pple are feeling inside, when someone chooses to speak presumptuously.
94'super Eagle was the most talented and energetic squad that Nigeria and Africa ever had, that is because of their entertaining football, it was their time when the whites suffered to the maximum in the football grounds!!! Thanks for the NFF to honour their contribution!!!
So happy they got their flowers! We will never forget ❤❤❤❤
This team announced Nigeria to the entire world. Even posterity would never forget it.
So true
Emotional speech indeed, Nigeria government should please look into Rasheed yekinni family. This man was an hero
That was her daughter standing in the rank
“Sunny, so ri, ma da won lowun…sha ti na si fun mi” 😂❤
These men made us proud as a nation!
"Sunny,ma da won loun, sha ti naa si funmi"...Laugh wan kii mi die oooooooo
Legends .. too much talents on that stage mhen .. God bless you guys for putting the name Nigeria 🇳🇬 on the map of the world 🌎
No wonder he was a sucessful captain. Eloquent and Intelligent. I am ghanaian but I love this team till date.
Thanks you
When politics and tribalism was not the order of the day in Nigerian football!
Thank God for where this wisdom came from. Without recognizing these guys, we won't be able to have another blessed team.
Apart from being a good team, they were also lucky. And they formed the backbone of the Atlanta 96 Dream Team
Oliseh is a speech maker..eternal Legends💖
Before David Beckham we had the more complete Finidi George. I will never forget the foreign commentators pouring accolade on the immense strength, versitily and maturity of a young Sunday Oliseh, Our Marcell Dessailly. Jay Jay was in a class all on his own.
They were such a delight to watch. As a young teenager, I watched them play with great enthusiasm.
So true
Sunday Oliseh is super brilliant, what an emotional speech.
This is the best team of Super Eagle I have witness in my life so far. These people made us proud as Nigerians; God bless you all in Jesus name.
Amen and Amen
Great seeing this golden generation again I will not forget the joy they brought to the nation up super Eagles
These guys should be honored and get them involved in our National Team to share their Experiences with our Team......... These guys are the Best. I'm watching and having some beautiful Feelings. God Bless you Guys and God Bless Nigeria.
❤❤❤
Great one from Sunday oliseh. 94 super eagles, the best squad Nigeria has ever had. Thank you guys for the pride you brought to our country 🇳🇬
Oliseh spoke with wisdom.
Super eagles 94... the best. Wow
I cried so much
God bless you all, you made us proud. Helped us raise our heads high
Rest in perfect peace Yekini
I am very happy that he has mentioned Jay Jay okocha the Maradona of AFRICA.
The first game against Gabon back in 1994 I loved Nigerian National team ever since! The best African team in my lifetime
Rashidi Yekini was the most clinical and dedicated. Samson Siasia was the most complete striker of this set. The only player matching him was Julius Aghahowa.God bless this 94 set.
Wow never knew how good Siasia was. Injuries really cut him off on time.
Oh lord, where did we got it wrong as a nation? Kindly forgive us, and return Nigeria to its past where love of our dear nation will be paramount in our hearts. This is most emotional speech I have ever heard about Nigeria. Imagine what is currently going on in our dear nation today!!!
Amen
1994 them use coup do us, there was no good days
may the labours of our Hero not be in vain. God pls bless Nigeria with a good leader.
One of the best speeches, of all time...
Hopefully a team of this level and even better would come from Nigeria again😢😢😢
As a kid, the most mentioned Nigerian football player by every commentator was "Rashidi Yekini" and it's always "... Rashidi Yekini is a, is a goooaaaaallllllllllll!" ❤❤❤

Thanks very much Olishe
YOU people make us proud
Daniel Amokachi was my favorite super eagles players in the 94 squad even till date. He gives everything and fight for the jersey. Today Victor Osimhen is our new Daniel Amokachi. He is actually an hybrid of Yekini and Amokachi....
I call him JAY JAY Miracle... I love you all... the greatest Nigeria ever produced
I love this guys enormously. They’re always in my prayers. God bless richly
You too dey lie!
Super team first Nigerian team to qualify for the world cup which is why it's the best team Nigeria has ever produced we all have fond memories of that team.
Jay jay, leave am… as e kick you, he go come hia… hahaha 😂😂😅that cracked me up like madt…
What a collection of Legends.......when shall we have eagles like these again.......??
am Kenyan a still love the super eagles by then it was real how I wish they had Enyeama in goal then
The team didn't need an Enyeama then. Why? They had Peter Rufai (Dodo Mayana).
Football: the only thing that brings all Nigerians together. I have never heard anyone say, look at how this ibo man, hausa man or yoruba man missed that goal. I think the way forward to destroy tribalism is football.
I remember Uche Okechuckwu saying, Jay Jay leave am as he kick you he go come here.... THAT'S BROTHERHOOD 👌
Tests in my eyes. I am inspired.

This team is next to none in history. This was when Nigeria was Nigeria.
Well spoken my great legend
Zambia gave the best Nigerian team to win the Africa cup.
What a good recaps.
They are legends, extraordinary combination efforts made them a team. I doff my hat 🎓, Long life "SUPER EAGLE" let love lead...
God bless you guys for what you did, Nigeria became a house hold name in the world of football.

The best Nigeria has ever produced till today. When a white man called clemence westerhof selected players based on merit.
He has ikeba and siasia on the bench.
Why is his race so important to you, or you're still a slave?

Rashidi Yekini, I am not sure if the spelling is correct. Tell me any striker in Africa today that can match him.
None
Foster Mbedzi Maybe George Weah
@@adeyinkaalani1786 , maybe
You know Weah was also a great African Player who had many accolades to his name but Rashidi Yekini is ours and Gid bless his soul
He didn't mention Austin Eguavoen
Igbos in history in corner of Nigeria,still Nigerians hate that tribe called Igbo is a shame.
U hate ur self. Nothing about tribalism here, one Nigeria. We all accept most of our successful players are igbos
Wetin bring this one now. Who's talking about tribalism here
Ask your brother
most of them are south south not ibo lol siasia, equavoen, okocha, finidi
Okocha and olisheh na ss people but nzeogwu from same delta na igbo army officer during the coup.
so sad Nigeria would cease to exist.
