Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure, has expressed his anger after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was named the CAF African Footballer of the Year, ahead of him.

The Ivorian had won the prize for four consecutive years until Thursday, when Aubameyang took it home, thanks to votes by coaches and technical directors of African national teams.

“I’m very, very disappointed,” Toure said.


“I think this is what brings shame to Africa. Because to behave in this way, it is indecent!

“But what can we do? We Africans, we do not show that Africa is important to us. We focus more outside our own continent. That is pathetic!

“It’s sad to see Africa react this way, that they don’t think African achievements are important.”

The 32-year-old also claimed that Aubameyang won because of his excellent displays in Bundesliga, where he plays for Borussia Dortmund and not his showing at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.


“I give an example: Lionel Messi has won all the trophies but [if] Cristiano Ronaldo has the award [the 2015 FIFA Ballon d’Or], what would you say? It would be unfair!

“FIFA, even with all the stories of corruption, would not do that! I believe that today, with what happened, CAF will go there too.” Toure implied he might be quitting any continental event, saying he would look after himself and forget Africa.

“Yaya will look after Yaya and Yaya will allow Africa be.

“As I often say, do not care too much for Africa because Africa will be the first to let you down.”

Still, he congratulated Aubameyang, saying: “You were brilliant.”

Yaya Toure should go and sleep no be your birth-right ..... D time weh dem rob Enyama, carry am give am he no talk anything Na now he know say Na politics........

Aubameyang recently since last season plays and scores well etc..... I mean d guy deserve it more than Toure this time.

Yaya must be a bad loser just like our own PDP.....complaining bitterly of every thing just because he taught he is the best candidate for the award........I don't blame him, it was the francophone conspiracy that help him win it even when there was a better candidate in Mikel Obi then, so he can run his mouth like he has a diarrhea.

Africans. We r always d cause of our problems. Even if u deserved it, must u try disgrace africa publicly, m happy it boomeranged. Cry cry for cake.

.

Demented and disgruntled ideeot called Yaya Toure.D title na ur birthright?.Why not kuku ma organise ur own soccer award and crown urself Africa's best?.Oponu buruku yi.

No be today yaya don dey childish!

Yaya should go and sit down. He wasn't better than Aubumeyang last year. If nations cup trophy was to determine the winner, then Abou Trika of Egypt should have won it in 2006, 2008 and 2010(beside, dude deserved it then).

Silly dude!! When you won inplace of Mikel in his own country. You didn't deem it fit saying caf was biased? Silly dude. Always looks like a quiet person but he ain't shit.
