Go and watch every goal before you dash it to Cortes.... did you watch every goal? Be fair and watch everything.

Once again, even when a Nigerian clearly deserves it,you lot are the first to desert him and then shout merit here. Thank God they don't ask Nigerians to vote in all things, else,we will never win a thing because some people think they are Gandhi

king94:
I don't care if Mexicans vote for Okonkwo or not. They asked us to vote for d best goal and that's what I did. Why should I vote for Okonkwo wen I prefer/enjoyed Cortes' own more. I didn't vote based on nationality but on which I feel is better. If u tink Okonkwo's goal is better dan Cortes', u shouldn't have any worries den.

TheGoodJoe:


As in eh, Nigerians beat me a lot. There are some reasonable ones but many are close to ridiculous.

How can someone put tearing race with the ball and slotting the ball into a net over someone who curled a ball from and impossible distance.

That is how Mikel was clearly the best but some Mahatma Ghandi Nigerians kept voting Yaya Toure because they will not stop for a second to weigh the facts.

Sad truth.

Jesumed:


You will continue to miss the point due to this your impatience or should I say lack of understanding? No one is saying one goal is better than the other. Everyone is entitled to his/her own choice. What we are saying is that you should vote for whomever you think has the best goal because you think so NOT because he is your brother. In a nutshell, what we are clamoring for is that you shouldn't vote out of sentiment.

And again, that Mikel is clearly better than Yaya Toure is your own personal opinion. Everyone does not have to have the same opinion as you!

TheGoodJoe:



It is not about personal opinion or being factual. I never said Mikel was better than Yaya Toure. I am a CityZen and I see what Yaya does for us in every game he plays. That year, Mikel was better, amassed more titles, was the best player against Yaya Toure's Ivory Coast when we knocked them out of the tourney. DROGBA, Confirmed it. Yaya did not win anything for Club or Country.

What will make a Nigerian vote Yaya, beats my imagination.

Are you telling me that if it was your younger brother who did that for Nigeria, you will vote Cortes?

So why not vote Okonkwo's goal?

Jesumed:


Again, that Mikel was better than Yaya Toure that year is still your personal opinion. That Drogba confirmed it further proves that it was Drogba's opinion. Are you telling me everyone must have same opinion as you?

To your second question: if Orji was my brother and I vote for him because I think he has a better goal, that's fair enough. Vote for whomever you think is better. But if I think Cortez has a better goal and I vote for Orji solely because he is my brother, I am guilty of sentiments. Sentiments will not move our country forward and that is what we are preaching against. Thanks!

TheGoodJoe:


So if Orji was your brother, you will vote him. Will you tell others to act real/Ghandi like to vote Cortes over your brother?

I guess you will not. Here you are canvassing for people to vote against him by voting their minds. Instead of telling the truth that what Okonkwo did was more difficult and he took that shot because of all Nigerians.

That is loyalty to blood. This boy is a National hero. We owe him that loyalty. Not just because his goal might or might not be the best. He is your country man who did something wonderful.

Some might say Cortes goal is better but if he was their brother they will vote Their Brother.

News Flash! Orji Okonkwo is your brother and National hero who worked hard to make every Nigerian proud.

We owe him our loyalty.

Jesumed:


Once again, you have missed the point. By telling people to vote their minds, I am not canvassing for votes for Orji nor the other guy. I am only telling people to do what is right because it is right.

Second, I never said I would vote for Orji if he was my brother; I only said if I did so because he was my brother not minding whose goal I felt was better, I am guilty of sentiments!

Third, if Orji was my brother, I don't have to tell people to vote for him for that reason. People can vote for him because they love him and feel that he has a better goal, not because he is my brother!

Fourth, you just told me that Drogba confirmed that Mikel was better than Yaya Toure. Have you ever wondered why Drogba could have supported Mikel not minding the fact that Yaya Toure was his own countryman? That shows Drogba wasn't sentimental!

Let's emulate Drogba. Let's vote for whom we think has the best goal because we think so, not because he is our countryman. Let's be honest. Let's quit tribalism and sentiments so that we can move forward in this country.

Lastly; yes, Orji is my brother. Cortes is my brother too. As human beings created by one same God, we are all one family. God has no favourite. Let's live as one all over the world not minding tribe, race, religion etc.

Now Orji and Cortes are our brothers- same family. Vote for whom you think has the better goal.
Thanks!

TheGoodJoe:



Cortes is your brother, funny. Let your Mexican brothers vote Orji Okonkwo let me see him win one vote.

Also, do not get me wrong. I did not say Drogba said Mikel was a better player than Yaya. Drogba will never do that. Drogba said Mikel was the best player of the match after Nigeria knocked his country out of the AFCON.

Drogba will never vote Mikel over Yaya for an award, even if Mikel played better. Out of ten thousand Ivorians, if Mikel see five votes, he should thank the God he is worshipping.

Out of ten thousand Nigerians, if Mikel see one thousand votes, he should thank the God he is worshipping.

Is that not ridiculous?

So keep telling people to vote their Brother Cortes and their personal opinions and not weigh the facts. Let us keep robbing Nigerians of our glory.

Jesumed:


Now, I don't know what reply to give you anymore. Maybe I should just ask you this: why are Nigerian players struggling to go an play for foreign clubs and not our own Nigerian clubs where they have their ''brothers''? Why struggling to play for clubs owned by those other ones? Do they prefer money and fame over their brothers here?

Chanchit:
Why do we even have to vote when its obvious we would be biased in our voting? Na so Madrid fans see Naymar goal finish say there's nothing spectacular in it, FIFA should just give it to whoever they like jare.

Chanchit:


I vote for whoever deserves my vote, even as stvpid as you are, if we are to vote for the most stvpid person on NL, after checking the whole nominees and I think you deserve it, I would gladly vote for you. Our disagreement on this issue won't make me vote for someone else.

safarigirl:
Mexico will be biased, Belgium and France too. Vote because you would have voted if the kid was your brother.

Vote to help a fellow Nigerian, and don't insult national football by comparing it to the yeye club jargons you guys do. You are closer to Okonkwo than you can ever be to a Neymar. A win for Okonkwo is a win for Nigeria, anything Neymar wins does nothing for nobody here

Exxit:
why should we be biased because of he's Nigerian? If he's better then I'll vote. But if otherwise, I don't care how far other players in other nation is to me I'll vote for them... I don't care if he's my brother... The day Nigeria will be great is only if honesty reign among us.

Exxit:
I've already voted for that Mexican player.... Now kill yourself

TheGoodJoe:



The day Nigeria will become strong will be the day we unite and start supporting each other. It is as simple as that.

Just look at this, a National hero scored an amazing goal and helped us lift the cup. We can not unite and vote him. We must vote another in the name of honesty.

If it is an American that scored that goal, they will all unite behind the American. I doubt even one will vote another.

Yet as for Nigerians, our votes must be divided with one excuse or the other.

That is why America will be greater than us until we change our mentality of division.

son thanks for voting for me but am giving out the award to your father at home
