After a very thorough view, I have come up with a list of Nigeria's best 23 football players from 1980 till this day. The year 1980 was chosen as a result of the Nations cup glory that year.
Coach: Okey Emordi
G/keepers: Emma Okala, Peter Rufai, Joseph Dosu.

Defenders: Christian Chukwu, S. Okechukwu Keshi, David Adiele, Sylvanus Okpala, Yisa Shofoluwe, Okechukwu Uche, Austin Eguavoen.

Midfielders: Segun Odegbami, Henry Nwosu, Muda Lawal, Etim Esin, Emmanuel Amuneke, Austin Okocha, Sunday Oliseh.

Attackers: Alloy Atuegbu, Rashidi Yekini, Nwankwo Kanu, Daniel Amokachi, Sampson Siasia, Victor Ikpeba.
This is just my personal opinion. Who should not be there and who should be included?. Over to you Soccer loving fans.
