maryjames9:
Who dem wan give? I think it shouldnt be any longer a tradition or routine to hold this shameless rituals yearly because my expectation of African players performance in top competitions locally and internationally has not been met. It is as if Africans have refused to up their games and stand at per with European footballers. I think we are celebrating mediocrity. I cant just see reason for these awards. My opinion though

You are a mind robber.

I think this CAF awards should only be given to any footballer playing in Africa, the same way UEFA awards footballers playing in Europe.

Glo is really trying in sponsoring football. Wish same efforts were also made for promoting Academics.

None of super eagles players will win any award on that day.

Lets wait and see how it goes

Who are those people calling Mikel Obi?? You guys should come out,let us hear ur voices.

Never in Abuja

In trey songs voice oh na na...yaya toure all d way
