Past winners.

In the past the winner was selected solely by the votes of listeners, but they discovered that there are too many Nigerians who are ready to vote for the most prominent Nigerian footballer.

Listeners from other countries started complaining that Nigerians would always win the award because of our huge population (especially after Jay Jay Okocha beat Samuel Etoo to win the award). So the BBC decided that a panel of experts would nominate the top footballers of that year and then the listeners would vote for the nominees.

I go with Mahrez, he had a good season n is doing well in d champions league, though I would av gone with Mikel, he had a good Olympic, but he can still win it in d future if he plays all Nigeria games dis season since dats d only place he can play now, den he would make history by winning it without playing club football. Trump has taught us dat nothing is impossible.
