debulle: How did he deserve it this time around? In Africa Mikel won African cup of nation,did well in conferation cup.Coming to Europe Yaya Toure only did well in EPL while Mikel did well too in EPL and also won Europa Cup.What criteria do Isa and CAF use in giving this award? Have you ever seen/heard that a player that didn't play in champions or Europa leguea won European best.Fracophone politics in CAF is killing African Football.When they robbered JJ Okocha,it was said that he didn't do well in nations cup and that its not only EPL that are used in judging it.But now what happened?

Mikel is so overrated. Was he listed in FIFA best 23 players in the world? No. Yaya Toure was listed. Mikel doesn't wanna improve. He is content with the money he collects at chelsea and he doesn't care about personal acolades. I rate Onazi higher than Mikel If anyone cares to know.

This is nonsense. Even in European football last season, Yaya scored a total of 9 goals for Man City from 2012-2013. How is Yaya the best player for Africa over Mikel.

Can anyone here who thinks Yaya is the best explain why Yaya is the winner. Rubbish.

I already told my friends that Yaya toure would win it before the award ceremony although i still tried to support Mikel Obi,am a man city fan and i know how much impact Yaya made last year,as a midfielder given the priviledge to roam around the field to any position he wishes unlike stiff and solid Mikel Obi at chelsea who scores just every every 75 games,Yaya scored a lot of goals including some excellent free kicks too.
Yaya toure clearly deserves the award and he will forever be a serious contender for the award until he retires,i really like the guy,i have one of his videos on my phone and i was very impressed wishing a Nigerian too could play like this in the premier league,the Nigerian players disappointed me,most of them are now lazy in their respective clubs even Moses is now a flop at Liverpool,it is well sha.GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!
UP SUPER EAGLES!!!
UP MANCHESTER CITY!!!
Download and watch this short video of Yaya Toure if you care

I am also a die hard fan of Man City and I watch almost all City games. If you look at my articles, you will notice it. Apart from beginning of this season, Yaya wasn't mind blowing.

I really wish there is a criteria for us to know why Yaya is Africa's best. Well congrats to Yaya. Mikel up your game, the Super Eagles needs your best at the World Cup.

"I don't know why Mikel is underrated by the media or the fans," he added. "He is very rated by us in the group and it's a position where you're a bit of an unsung hero.

"You do the dirty work which is not recognised all the time because the goalscorers and more creative players get the recognition. But he is very important for our team." ...........................ROBERTO DI MATTEO (former Chelsea Manager)

Sitting in our 'big' corner here in Naija, we just make some funny wishes laced with uninformed sentiments . Where do we put the vast french speaking nation's influence that has kept Hayatou on CAF's saddle for eternity?
Apart from the fact that the two african sons are great footballers in equally great clubs in England, certain criteria were employed in judging their performances. Same structure in the past threw up Kanu Nwakwo and other naijas that had won this CAF AWARD. Voting took place and Yaya Toure ,a fantastic team player and an independent playmaker, won. For Mikel , we love you.

Congrats to all Super Eagles players and staff. Even though we didn't win the CAF Player of the year, Mikel being nominated today shows the great stride you guys have taken to lift Nigerian football.

More grease to your elbows guys and the accolades must come.

[b]Nigeria yesterday dominated honours list at the 2013 CAF Awards night held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, carting away five of the ten prizes at stake.

However, the country lost out on the ultimate as Cote d’Ivoire’s Yaya Toure was again yesterday crowned the African Footballer of the year.

Nigeria’s Stephen Keshi won the Coach of the Year award; Kelechi Iheanacho was named the Most Promising Talent of the Year, while the Super Eagles was adjudged the National Team of the Year.

The Golden Eaglets was named the National Youth Team of the Year, while Nigeria Football Supporters Club was picked for the Fair Play award.

However, Nigeria’s Sunday Mba was not lucky as the other Nigerians, as he lost the Best African-based Player award to Egypt’s Mohammed Aboutrika.

Other awards are the CAF Legends award which went to the late Senegal coach Bruno Metsu, Referee of the Year won by Haimoudi Djamel and the Club of the Year which was won by Egyptian giant Al-Ahly.

http://dailytrust.info/index.php/sports/14235-toure-is-african-football-king-as-nigeria-sweeps-awards

I really feel for MBA also. Sunday MBA was really an impact player for Nigeria's Super Eagles success in the AFCON. Aboutrika was also a very good candidate too. That was a very tough pick there.

Congrats to Nigerians. Let us make 2014 even more memorable by having a fantastic world cup.[/b]
