Comedian Oluseyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has joined the conversation on the impact of former Super Eagles player Obafemi Martins, also known as ‘ObaGoal.’

The discussions surrounding Martins followed the viral video of the player, in which he expressed his capacity to be more than that of Cristiano Ronaldo and many others.

The 41-year-old actor stated that Martins was not celebrated enough by many during his time on the field of play, describing it as sad. The Ondo-born referred to the popular football game Winning 11 as an indication of Martins's football skills and ability on the pitch.

He said: The disrespect on OBAFEMI MARTINS is so sad. You couldn't have played WINNING ELEVEN on PS2 and talked down on him.

ObaGoal, take your accolade. Seyi Law added that many only heard of his holidays in Lagos and didn't know how powerful he was on the field.

He placed the former Nigerian forward side-by-side with Inter Milan’s striker Andriano as everything a soccer player needed.

Martins had in a video said he was faster than Thierry Henry, Kyle Walker, Arjen Robben, Gareth Bale, Mohammed Salah, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Adama Traore, Theo Walcott, Kylian Mbappe, and Leroy Sane.

Social media users on X have reacted to the comedian's post shared on his handle. Read their comments below:

Montero1016 Well, you can't blame them cos he did not last long at the top. He destroyed defenders at the Youth team of Inter & was tipped for Owen's level of stardom but he never hit those heights. Aghahowa outshone them all for the Super Eagles at a point.

opedaydydx5: "He has his accolades from those of us that played games as early as PS 1. I don’t think people disrespected him anyway.

Temitop50058149: "Most of them don't know why we call him Oba goal. I won't forget the one he score against man u because the goal pain me,most especially wen he do backflip.

See Martins' video below

"No player..."

People seem to forget about Obafemi Martins' outstanding pace in his prime.
