The man's argument about Okocha

However, the young Nigerian man forgot that Okocha was part of the Super Eagles squad that won the 1994 Nations Cup.

And the former Fenerbache star was joint-topscorer at the AFCON 2004 with four goals along with Tunisia's Francileudo Dos Santos, Mali's Frederic Kanoute and Cameroon's Patrick Mboma.
