Messi Or Ronaldo; Maradona Or Pele? Super Eagles LB Who Prefers Money Over Trophy Decides

Published: January 10, 2020

SC Paderborn defender Jamilu Collins has answered quickfire questions from the Super Eagles Media Team on a variety of topics.

Collins picked Ronaldo over Lionel Messi when asked to choose the better player, and voiced his preference for Pele over Argentina legend Diego Maradona.

Asked to name his top five artistes, the defender went for Burna Boy, Runtown, Wizkid, Davido and MI.

He chose casual wears over corporate, Kaduna over Berlin and African Continental over European dishes.

The answer Collins provided when he was asked to choose between money and trophy could determine his next career move as he finally went for money, though he admitted that the two are needed.

The 25-year-old said he preferred winning the UEFA Champions League to the World Cup trophy and name-checked Kaizer Chiefs glovesman Daniel Akpeyi as the most serious player in the Super Eagles squad.

Since debuting for the senior national team in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, Collins has earned 13 caps for the three-time African champions.
