Osimhen overtakes Odegbami, now Nigeria’s 2nd highest goal scorer behind Yekini (Top 10)


Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen on Friday evening overtook the legendary Segun Odegbami in the list of Nigeria’s all-time top scorers.


This follows his goal in the 11th minute of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda in Kigali.

Osimhen came into the match level with Odegbami on 23 goals.


But the Napoli loanee put the ball in the next following a free-kick cross from Ademola Lookman early in the game.

Osimhen now has 25 goals, two ahead of Odegbami.

The 26-year-old is now only behind Rashidi Yekini, who has 37 goals for the Super Eagles.


Nigeria’s all-time scorers [Top 10]

Rashidi Yekini – 37 Goals

Victor Osimhen – 25 Goals


Segun Odegbami – 23 Goals

Yakubu Aiyegbeni – 21 Goals

Ikechukwu Uche – 19 Goals

It's official

Osimhen is certainly the hottest striker in the world

Just 12 goals and Osimhen will be Nigerias' greatest goal machine

Congratulations Osimhen,
Meanwhile see your Ballon D'or hopeful and World Best below...
See terrible statistics.. This is what Media Hypemen can do. They can hype someone like Buhari till the world would move to recognize him with a Nobel prize in Physics and Medicine.

For the First Time, The president of Brazil is moving in angrily, threatening to drop a Brazilian player (Vinicius)
Such an embarrassment to Pele, Garrincha, Romario, Fenomeno, Rivaldo, Dinho, KaKa Adriano, Fabiano, and Neymar.
On a Good day, this Guy won't smell the bench of the Brazilian National Team.

He will obviously overtake Yekini.
Just a matter of time.

APOPTOSIS:

Osimhen hasn't even done half of what lauturo martinez have done for Inter and Argentina....still , his name never get mentioned in the balon dor race ... so it's not by black or white man .... oshimen hasn't even done half of what mane or salah have both done for both club and Country...mane finished 2n and 3rd in one of the recent balon dor . So it has nothing to do with race , cos e no de hard una. WEAH WAS THE FIRST NON EUROPEAN TO WIN IT IN 95

Exactly 💯 💯
Yet no Media Hype.
But Vinicius with one of the poorest statistics is disturbing the social media space.

He will surely get 40+ goals for Nigeria

He will beat Yekini.

I believe

Cool. I see him beating Yakubu soon.

But honestly, I'm super proud of us Yorubas and our myriad, positive contributions to this county. Of the top 5 highest goal scorers in Nigerian history, 4 are Yorubas (outside Osinmen). About other sports have our feet too. Football, track, and so on. All these despite the limited resources. We're some of the greatest and intelligent people, I believe.

Smartestboy:
Yoruba and tribalism Everythibing is messed

aswani:
It's not about tribe

Akpaamunsi:
And yet your monkey...

simpleseyi:
No let Ogun kee you ooo

Yankiss:
You have started putting on tribal lenses...

Kajaard:
You people must introduce tribalism... Pathetic idiot.

Benwems:
Stop talking nonsense.

Why are you all crying? It's not a fault or luck my people are achieving successes. Let me be. I know what to reply each one of you with that will give your half-wit brains something sad to think about the rest of the day, but I'll just leave you all to your envy, hate, and follies.

If it constitutes tribalism to recognize the greatness of my people, so be it. In my first post, I simply acknowledge and celebrated us and didn't about others, yet you hatemongering doodles are crying. I don't care about your tears. Go find something to do with your people too. When the SEs celebrate their amakas, you see any Yorubas showing vitriol like you all are doing? No! Because we're not competing with you. We have bigger fishes to fry than getting envious of you all.

Your anger changes nothing, we remain one of the most intelligent tribes, backed by our successes and statistics in the real world. We contribute positively to the world in our own small way, despite the limited resources. Deal with it or go work hard too.

You come to our lands en masse, get cordiality from us, make a living here, yet give us hate and envy in return. Na wa o

Na Lugard cause all these.

Babanlagenius:
You must be a very boring guy in real life. Don’t worry I won’t reply your next post.

Lol, it's okay, you don't have to. But I'm actually a very jovial and interesting guy.

Mynd44:
He will beat Yekini.

I believe

Yes, he is well positioned . Star boy

Osimhen....Good job today..

Well done!

Haha .. is Yekini competiting with him

Congratulations Osimhen!

Ikechukwu Uche was also a good striker.

On the flip side, graceful Okechukwu Uche was a beast in the defence of the Super Eagles and a Colossus in the attack with his aerial prowess, love you gentle giant 💕💕💕

If the top 10, 4 are from Edo State. Growing up , Edo had raw football talent, lack of sponsors usually truncate their talents.

I usually leave Benin city to spend holidays in my father's village where we have a perfect football pitch. Everyone I met in the village usually would bench me, I am not a prolific player, Just gifted with speed and the ability to mesmerise my opponent not a good team player hence the benching. Those guys where really really good. They usually have a match against a club from the city and Play like men.

These days, land grabbers, Yahoo and cultism have dent the talents in my beloved state.

No Osimhen no Nigeria. We need am for World Cup next year

Not Uche Okechukwu this person is different. They are the Kalu brothers, Ik Uche and Kalu Uche

robosky02:
Just 12 goals and Osimhen will be Nigerias' greatest goal machine

Osimhen will hit 100 goals for Nigeria if he is injury free and if Nigeria plays more games. He is still very young.

Meanwhile, where is the name of the most celebrated Kanu Nwankwo and J J Okocha on the list?

May injury be far from you home and away by God's grace. Amen.

Hahaha. Three goals now is like two back then.

Tnx for pointing it out. Ik Uche was also very good but so underrated and unsang.........

Omo. Yemini at 37 goals. Person wey go break that record go try.

There's a possibility of overtaking him if he stays injury free because he needs just 12 goals to be at par and realistically it's possible .

Omo Ologo! He could match that record before the end of next year. And God willing, he still has about 10 more years to go.

Mynd44:
He will beat Yekini.

I believe

Hopefully with age on his side but not so easy...

This isn't a league they play week in week out....

He is in great company

Overtaking is allowed





Yesterday I showed my neighbor his daughter's boyfriend, & he offered me a beer 🍺
Today I will show him his wife's sugar daddy 🚶

Time to be the highest goal scorer soon
