Sunday mba have been awarded the 24th best player in 2013 ahead of the likes of Ibrahimovic, suarez, isco,mata and lampard. Hazard and Oscar didnt even make the list MESSI is the world best player this year more info at

A first-time entry for both player and country, Sunday Mba has been Nigeria’s revelation over the last year.

The midfielder’s inclusion, along with five other home-based players, in Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations squad raised eyebrows but the 24-year-old played better than many of the nation’s more heralded foreign contingent.

Having started the tournament on the bench, Mba was Nigeria’s hero in the knockout stages. He scored the winner in the quarter-final against Cote d'Ivoire to spell the end for Didier Drogba’s trophyless 'golden generation'. Then in the final itself, Mba fired home the only goal against Burkina Faso to gift Nigeria their first Afcon title since 1994.

The 24-year-old was also one of Nigeria’s best performers at the Confederations Cup and has helped to draw attention to the depth of talent in the Nigerian league.

A drawn out transfer tussle between Warri Wolves - who own the player and his full transfer rights - and new club Enugu Rangers - where he will stay on loan until the end of the league season in September - mean he has played just a single domestic game, scoring one goal.

Hehehehehehehehe

Laffing in Portuguese

This is great news. Sunday Mba made himself important by scoring critical goals to save Nigeria in the AFCON. Without him, we would have been eliminated by Ivory coast and we won't have earned the winner against B.Faso in the finals. Lets simply give this guy the worth he deserves. I hope he gets to play in a top European league. By the way, whoever said Goal.com is biased?

who dash monkey banana?

Congrats bro

Hmmmmm.

Based on what grounds?

Anyways, goodluck to him..

hmn hmn! will ronaldo escort messi to the podium again in 2013?

This can't be true. It has to be a typo or something Mba or Moses?

congratulations!!

Really? Dat makes him d best in SE...sounds like a joke...congrats all d same for gainin international recognition

I'm sure this list was drawn up on a Sunday, approved on a Sunday and published on a Sunday; because, it seems this guy, Sunday Mba only gets lucky on Sundays.

Or what do ya think?

Wishful thinking. I'm sure Sunday Mba dosen't agree with this, for pete's sake! Ahead of the likes of Oscar, Hazard, Suarez, Ibrahimovic?! Someone need's to get their head examined and that person needs it fast.

impossibility can never possible.....u sure say no bi NFF made the Rank

Haters of NPL go die...Mba wanna see ya in Europe.

Congrats Mba.

Way to go

No doubt, Mba is having a nice time in his career. I pray he moves to Europe soon. My major concern is that Nigeria wont benefit enough from Mba as I know for sure he is more than 24yrs.

Where are they selling cassetes of AFTERNOON OF A THOUSAND LAUGH in alaba...#dude is good though#

And Arsene Wenger would invite him some day for trial as Obabuna was reportedly invited abi?

Mba, I no gree!
Ignore my lousy pun o! The dude is talented tho'.
