sunygal: How does yaya deserve dis award?what did he win or do last year?not a fan of Mikel but 9ja did well 2013.so it should av been mikel.my tot thou

Same goes for Messi.But bros you and me know say Mikel no dey same level with Yahaya for ball sense sentiment apart.Na case of Messi and Cr7

Congrats to Yaya Toure!

Lagbaja rocked. whooo!!!

yaya toure indeed deserve d title,i didnt see any ojoro dair o.

cr7lomo.:
Dat guy is African messi and Ronaldo . Mikel 4 forget dis 1 concentrate for next year but unfortunately yaya is in d lead again and will still win it again next year . 13 goals already dis season

People are dull this days, since when does goal make a person derserve an award.

Yaya U̶̲̥̅̊ deserved it, U̶̲̥̅̊ ar better of Ɣõu̶̲̥̅̊r contender

Most of you can cry foul for all I knowing claiming its phony for Yaya to have won the award..Did you expect Mikel Obi to have won the award..when he hardly scores,make goal assists nor start matches..of course he sits on the bench for Chelsea..We have Yaya,he scores,he did that that yesterday too against Westham(a solo goal),he starts matches and of course adored by City faithfuls..C'mon,I see this guy winning the next award..He's like a Messi in Africa..Congratulations brother Yaya..Bring the award back to the Etihad..

No he did not deserve it. This is like 2010 world cup where sneijder derserved it but they gave it to messi

story story

Without any major achievement yaya toure wins diz tin,anyway sha I don't blame caf how would africa have felt if mikel won it and mourinho starts 2 bench him again,african player of the year playing just 5mins in a match ...enyeama would have been a better bet 4 africa though,just saying

Well deserved, it's was an award for the best man who truly deserved it and it was accorded rightly. Some pple will still say that it's 'ojoro'

tintingz: Ojoro! but yaya deserve it tho

No ojoro oo,mikel never played half of what yaya played o.

oooooh why not mikel.
he won the africa cup of nation.

koni da fun iyalaya caf. for denying Mikel De crown. BH go bomb una there

Pls wht happened to Obi? Or d also played politics Big ups duo to yaya

As a Nigerian, i'd have loved Mikel 2 win d APOTY award, but Yaya deserves it. Yaya is masterclass of his own...Congr@s Yaya.

pukena: Sheer robbery!

Just like 2010 fifa player of the year and 2012 player of the year awards which should have went to sneijder and ronaldo respectively.

Congrats.

This was expected and it was his award to lose.

Come on he plays the same position as Mikel and no sane person would have given the award to Mikel, to be honest.

The both of them don't even belong in the same league - Yaya Toure is a game changer and the heart of Man City (with Kompany) and the Ivorian football team. While Mikel is just a role player at Chelsea a la Mr-play-it-safe-clean-and-tidy. Yes, Nigeria won the African cup, however, Mikel wasn't even the best player on that naija team - Emenike and Victor Moses were.

Anyway, big ups to Yaya Toure!

mr.drizzy:
did anyone notice how horrible p-square voice are,kai.auto-tune don suffer

Seriously their voices were horrible, well, the same goes to almost all Nigerian musician, they all depend on studio to over fine tune their voices, that is why must of them can't perform live with instruments, they will rather play the over worked studio cd and they off the microfone while they sing along. I have noticed this since but I never knew it is the same with p square......lop

Abu Mikey:

E pain me reach preek

Picture of the preek

The best man won tho. . . Congrat YAYA!.. to our very own man JOHN OBI MIKEL we are proud of you! Keep doing the good work!

lymelyte: Well deserved..mikel wen nor get highlight at all. No goals,no assist, very stiff player Mtcheww

ode, uncultured fool. Cannavaro get assist? goal? B4 he win world best? Imagine dat nonsense comin out 4rm d mouth of a nigerian.

Regret paying for my DSTV sub

Well am not surprised..it has bin happening since Okocha. CAF led by Hayatou is just so biased it makes u want to puke.

Congrats yaya well deserved. Y Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi com dey yarn OP. Na wa o

Unfortunately, we don't have many contenders for this award, no wonder Yaya had to be given! African players really need to prove themselves. I hope the new generation of young breeds(Iheneacho and co) will be very impressive and world-class..btw, Mikel really needs to step up and improve his class!

He deserves its EOD!
Btw how did Michel got shotlisted to reach this level self? He's in the class of Maiga, Song, Frimpong et al.

The best won. Let's not be sentimental here. This is Football.

Enyeama would have been a strong contender,but he was excluded for Drogba,to give yaya an easy win.
