After bursting into national and international limelght at the 2007 FIFA U17 world cup, the world eagerly waited to herald the new maestro. Rabiu has played U17, U20 and U23 world cups and so far not much as been acheived in terms of delivering his inate talent for the world to see. at some point many saw him as a worthy replacement for jay jay Okocha in the super eagles but.... all the clubs he has featured for have yet to open any window of success neither has he raised his game. some still believe that he may wake up from hi deep slumber, but the question is when? he is still 22 years and has moved from gateway fc to sporting club o portugal to PSV Eindhoven to Celtic and now Kilmarnock in the scottish premiership. In late 2007, the youngster was included in the 50 Most Exciting Teen Footballers list and, in March of the following year, he was featured by InsideFutbol.com in an article on young African footballers alongside the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Mario Balotelli and John Obi Mikel all of whom are doing great exploits for club and country. In January 2009, he made goal.com list of 10 African Players to Watch, and The Times' Football's Top 50 Rising Stars. Rabiu, we are still waiting and watching out for you.
