Victor Ezeji Backs Godwin Obaji to Break More Records After 100-Goal Milestone
Former Nigerian football star Victor Ezeji has congratulated Godwin Obaji on reaching the 100-goal mark, insisting that football records are there to be challenged and surpassed, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Obaji’s landmark has generated praise across the Nigerian domestic football scene, with the achievement highlighting the importance of consistency and longevity in the game.
Ezeji, who brought his playing career to an end 11 years ago, said he would welcome the emergence of players capable of surpassing the records he established during his career.
“No records are there forever; records are meant to be broken,” Ezeji said. “I stopped playing 11 years ago and would love to see my record broken. I wish Obaji well and hope he breaks it, and if not, that’s also fine.”
The former striker’s comments underline the respect between different generations of Nigerian footballers, while also reflecting his willingness to see younger players raise the standard.
Obaji’s 100-goal achievement represents a significant milestone in his career and places him among the notable goalscorers in Nigerian domestic football.
The feat has also renewed conversations around the importance of sustained performance and the ability of players to maintain their scoring form over several seasons.
With Obaji still active, attention will now turn to how much further he can take his goalscoring tally and whether his milestone can inspire another generation of players to chase even greater numbers.
For Ezeji, the possibility of seeing his records surpassed represents a natural part of football’s evolution rather than a threat to his legacy.
His message is clear: records may eventually fall, but the players who set them leave behind a benchmark for those coming after them to chase.
