blueto: . I tink Y mikel did not win BBC was that: some nigerians divided. Some were voting 4 mikel, others Moses. Ivorians voted 4 only Yaya. That made Yaya's vote to be more in number
Many sick Nigerians like the op voted for Yaya.

heykims: I'm just amazed why ppl re this much sentimental, its an obvious fact wch requires no lengthy debate. Im sure those dt av commented in favour of Obi so far re just tribalist who re not just Nigerians but hails from d same geographical zone wt d overhyped chelsea player. I pray d plague of tribal sentiment doesnt ruin Africa.
I just hope CAF doesnt mock Africa come Jan 9.

U really sound like an illiterate, I don't share ur views simply because am a Nigerian and not because of any ethnic inclinations. I think ur just the very Tribalist here. If u don't like Mikel due to his tribe then ur mistaken or simply go and die like gov Osho would say!!!

Gud day Every One,
I really think we should show some respect in talking with 1 another. Don't bring those street habit here, cos foreigner and other international journalist are also reading ur messages.
Pls Sir/Ma Mikel Obi, may be a bench warmer in Europe? Pls is dis award for Europe or Africa? It is called Africa footballer Award. If it is given to him, no problem, at least I have watch him play good football both in Europe n Africa. A true son of his mother can never say his mom soup is not sweet.
Value wat we have and forget yaya n co, if yaya is good in Europe, then he should receive his award there... Thanks and Don't forget to tell som1 abt Jesus today... Takie

The BBC award was opened to everyone on the globe to vote, Most man city fans voted to support their player because the link was in the Man City website, most Chelsea fans didn't vote for Mikel because they felt in different about him

Are you nigerians so bias that you are not even shameful? Whàt do you value africa as? Just imagine mikel telling his chelsea players that he just collected the afoy award. Of what value and prestige is the trophy. Mikel is useless. deal with it. Yaya benches every midfielder that comes to his position, while mikel is rotating with a 35 year old lampard. Imagine mikel in mancity. Yaya will bench him, thàt he will be relegated to only cup matches. Mikel and yaya are not mates in football.

When Mikel gets to Chelsea nd tells dem he's d AFOY, guys like Ramirez would be like "If I were African, father xmas awards go sure pass year in, year out".

my friend if you have nothing sensible to say, be quiet. Who told you Lampard benches Mikel? Didn't you read the last 18 pages that clearly stated that Mourinho ROTATES players? Even the Lampard dey chop bench. What will Chelsea players say if Mikel wins it? Who gives 2 fuqs what they'll say? Instead of you to ask why them Frenchies omitted Enyeama for grandpa Drogba, you're here forming 'unbiased'. Wasn't it bias that made Drogba reach top 3 over Enyeama? The only thing correct in this jargons you posted is that Yaya and Mikel are not mates in football, Yaya is much older than Mikel and still hasn't achieved anything in football for CIV, like a man that spends all his life building mansions in the city, but doesn't have even a mud house in his village.

His managers are aware of his limited skills nd versatitility, so they re always careful wen passing him instructions I guess.
Abi no be d same set of managers dey pass instructions to his other colleagues?
No wonder many of them put him on d sideline thanks to Mourinho for giving him a spare of play time.
Re: Mikel Winning AFOTY Award Will Be An Insult To African Football by Yemimovich(m): 7:49am On Jan 05, 2014
You are primitive and miopic. Does any sport award judge by present performance or previous performances. Mikel deserves it,if he's crowned and stop being an irrational critic.

Quite alright yaya is better dan mikel, but dis award is Africa player of d year and nt world player of d year frm africa, d yardstick is base on performance 4 country/africa.


Y cant dis yaya fans ask demselve Y ribery got d europe award over messi, does dat means ribery is better dan messi? NO.

He got d award because he outplayed messi in uefa CL nd even stop him frm proceding 2 final, similar 2 hw mikel stop yaya.


Yaya is better dan mikel but mikel merit d award dan yaya 4 his performance in africa just like ribery/messi.

Its a shame if d award is given 2 yaya because its encourage unpatriotism 2 once beloveth country, many player like victor anichebe will prefer 2 boost club performance rather dan waste tym on country play.

The most annoying tin is dat old man called drogba made d list above emenike/enyeama.

striker9: Everyone knows Enyeama outshone Yaya both in trophies and individually.
Afcon trophy
Israel league
Best Goal keeper [Afcon]
11 consecutive clean sheets with Lille
Best French Player [October and November]

If Enyeama could outshine Ibrahimovic,Cavani and Falcao for French player of the month twice,who the hell is Drogba and Yaya combined?even with there combination at Afcon,they didn't do jack.

that is how it ought to be, and even if the yardstick was performance for club, Enyeama and Emenike ought to make top 3 over Drogba. So Mr. CAF spokesperson, what is the criteria that made your people put Drogba over Enyeama/Emenike?

Do you know that Mikel has won more trophies than Yaya for both club and country? Do you know Mikel has been relevant under 8 different chelsea manager. And he had his 300th cap today for chelsea. Back to the award.
Its african footbaler of the year 2013. Yaya might be better than Mikel but Mikel had a better 2013 than Yaya. Firstly, yaya won nothing but mikel won two trophies for club and country
secondaly, Mikel was instrumental to Nigerian's triumph in Afcon where yaya's cote d'vr was knocked out. Isnt song, ayew, keita and gervinho better than Musa or Aubemayang, yet they didnt make the top ten because musa played better than them in 2013. Just as ibra is a better player than ribery but Ribery made the top3 for his efforts IN 2013. So it is performance for the year for both club and country and its not an embarasment if Mikel should win it. But my question is why are Nigerians not suporting Mikel? TENI TENI, TAKISA NI TATAN.

Why not? A bench warmer can cap a team, it happens.
And d fact dt a prospective AFOY scores a goal in Europe nd it makes headline around d globe is a shame in paradox for Africa.
