Yakubu Aiyegbeni: Nigerians call for arrest of Super Eagles legend 13 years after World Cup miss

Super Eagles of Nigeria legend Yakubu Aiyegbeni is back among the trends on social media.

Yakubu rose to the top of social media trends after a post about the crop of talented Super Eagles strikers.

The post included several top strikers, past and present, asking a question about the preferences of the fans.

A Twitter user took a post by the Naija Footballers that included images of Victor Osimhen, Rashidi Yekeni, Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Odion Ighalo, and Emmanuel Emenike.

The user then asked the audience to Start two, Bench two, and Trash two.

All six players were among the trends on social media, and several users on Twitter picked their preferences.

Yakubu was the name that received the most backlash of all the six strikers.

Nigerian football fans are still stuck on Yakubu's performance in one of the games at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

In the last Group B match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Yakubu was the attacking leader of the Nigerian Super Eagles side against South Korea at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

The Super Eagles needed to defeat South Korea in order to qualify for the round of 16 after losing 1-0 to Argentina and 2-1 to Greece.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni was the recipient of a pass from Ayila Yussuf that was sent through the South Korean defense.

Yakubu pushed the ball wide of the left post after the pass connected with his foot four yards from the open goal.

Nigerians football fans are yet to forgive the striker 13 years after for the miss.
