[@victorudosen4754]

I think we need to learn something here.... During okochas early days RACISM was deadly.... And hardly could any player survive the hate without being seriously exceptional.... In his interview he said the only way he could get back at them is to humiliate them on pitch ..... Check out the clubs he played for... Turkey, France, Germany and England..... He had a challenge most African players had... He figured a way to get at it.... He's crazy hardworking.... Never had anybody to learn from .... He only admired a legend from seeing his picture (Pele) not privileged to watch him play....only heard that that was the best player of his time....no motivational factor .....it's rare among today's players.. he built a father figure in himself and became a rare maestro of pure unparalleled class .... A one time most expensive player of his time.... A player of pure strength, silkiest body movements and the softest dribble skill ever without force, square playing passes, his confidence is strange, risk taking is strange, a player that shifted focus out of provocation....and not encouragement..... that even his haters couldn't do without him.... Being black was an offense...... Do you know what it means to work in an environment and you are made to understand that no matter how good you are or how much you do to please them you won't be given the credit you deserve... cos the system says you are inferior.... if it were you what would you do?.... Think about it. He didn't really bother .... He decided to do what he loves best..... "Entertainment"...... That's why he is called jay jay.... You can't take that from him..... Fantastic free kick taker, both individual and team player, guess a motivator and highly spirited player..... Even if you're not that good, playing with him bolsters your Confidence..... He's unselfish, and note finally..... "That he's a player that excites the commentators and fans and most importantly A PLAYER YOU CAN NEVER MARK OUT OF THE PITCH"..... You can't just eclipse him...... No matter how hard you try...... Cos he's a Father on the pitch . .. i've watched many stars marked out of the pitch..... From ronaldinho to others.... still the only player that still does and can still do what did back in the days despite his age now..... You'd really wonder if he guy is really getting old......a joy to watch. The stage is not for Africans......the africa 11 of his time cannot be beaten.. Truth!! ..... He brought out the best in people..... There is only one jay jay...... Period.....zidane says one person he delights to watch is jayjay...... He disgraced all the best players in his days.... Don't forget that this guy is a walking football Institution on his own..... People pay to watch him train.... Taught students at Brazilian academy..... Tried all that most people cannot try on pitch ...... Scored lots of free kicks in his early career days .... His "long range shots" those days were insane...... Playing in PSG was a big deal..... Perpetual 10 ....... He was versatile... Once played as a striker, attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, winger, utility player and playmaker..... mesmerizingly entertaining on the pitch ..... Did things that were one and first of its kind during his days ...... Case closed .... He's a joy to Nigeria in particular and Africa in general. We are not bothered that he's been denied the honour he deserves at the global stage but Africa knows He is a priceless and classless treasure to the World
