Respect to Drogba but some of y'all want too far talking about best african player since Weah. 
Eto'o is the definite answer here..

eto'o>>>
To be fair...Eto'o has played on better teams, and arguably played in leagues and systems more appropriate for pure scoring.
EPL = Still the toughest league, certainly above Liga and Serie A in physicality.
Can you imagine prime Drogba playing in Spain, on Barcelona? Imagine him in Italy with defenders that just...sit there and look at you. The English game is too different. Stoke City and Sunderland won't win the league or even the match, but they are going to put up a fight, and you aren't going to go out there and put 5 goals in on em every match. Eto'o spent the majority of his career eating well offa them little Speedy Gonzales's. And was he not playing with HENRY and fukking MESSI at one point? Lots of players can......
offa that. And the Chelsea style of play has always been more defensive in nature. Even after Da Gawd Mourinho left, the skeleton of the team was still all him. Hell, half of Drogba's job has always been to hold the damn ball up so Lamps could put a screamer in.
This isn't to say that Drogba > Eto'o...I do agree that you have to give it to Eto'o because accomplishments are accomplishments and you can't take away from him just because he had better circumstances....but I think it's pretty damn close, and that Drogba is just are purely talented.

Drogba is not near the finisher Eto'o was, and nowhere near as consistent.To be fair...Eto'o has played on better teams, and arguably played in leagues and systems more appropriate for pure scoring.

Eto'o also won ACN
honestly, Eto'o is probably the best striker of the last 10 years, not named Thierry Henry.

Eto'o should have won at least 1 World Player of the Year. These cacs do not want to give it the black man though. Dudes first touch and shooting accuracy is godly.
Eto'o was probably the best striker in the past ten years, but Drogba is probably the most complete CF in the last decade. Dude is a bully up front and constantly took on two defenders in his prime in a very physical EPL.
im still marvelling at that header breh, it was just so Perfect a inch lower it would have been saved, a inch higher prob over the cross bar, the speed, the arc a thing of beauty
when eto'o played in spain it was certainly the best league the world. early to later-mid 00s there was no question about it.To be fair...Eto'o has played on better teams, and arguably played in leagues and systems more appropriate for pure scoring.

There's a reason these African teams with great players never do anything on the big international stages.
They're playing for pride when they play for their country, not money.
I'm sure if they were getting paid a quarter of a million quid every game they played for their country like they do at their clubs, Africa would have won a world cup by now.
Mercenaries
Yep, people have to understand that African countries were created by the white man, so their no real sense of pride for it. It is not a real nation for the people by the people. If you read articles, during the world cup you will see that African players always complain about not being paid by their home country. Ghanians for whatever reason are more prideful about their country and are very organized with the way develop talent and instill pride in their players.
why?

I see you breh. I said probably, lol. Henry is #1 in the last decade no doubt. I don't think we will see another one like him for a long time.

That sh1t is ridiculous. What don't they have it every 4 years like the Euros and South Americans do? The Copa America used to be held every 2 years too but they changed it after European clubs refused to let their players go.
I read an article about how some Euro clubs avoid signing african players because of the risk of losing them in January.

They did it to make money and get nations playing meaningful matches.
I just hope it's not the shyt show like this year's was.

Yeah, money was also the reason they had the Copa America every two years until 2007.
For some reason, african nations rarely do friendlies among each other.
