xp17: This remind me of when Samuel Eto was on top of the game , we all wanted Jay Jay Okacha to emerge the winner , but deep inside of us we all knew that Samuel Eto performance was exceptional that year and better than that of Jay Jay.You need to be educated about this statement. No sentiment, Toure is a better individual player than Mikel thus making him a more suitable choice. But based on CAF's criteria, they said the winner of AFOTY must be good individually & must v helped the team to win a trophy, expecially AFCON. In 2003, Okocha was a midfielder, Eto'o was a striker. But your entire generation knows that Okocha's showmanship in 2002/2003 superseeds that of Eto'o that was with Real Mallorca. That season, he didn't win a spoon with Mallorca o! Then, CAF said cos Eto'o won AFCON with Cameroon in 2002, that's why he won ahead of Okocha. We said, no problem. This year Mikel won AFCON, Europa League, FA Cup. Yaya Toure won nothing. They gave it to Toure. Issa Hayatou should take back his word of 2003 & cover his grey hair with ashes. CAF has no definite criteria. They are confused. That's what majority of Nigerians are proving. We are not sentimental. Last Bullet: xp17:I can't even smile after reading your dry joke. You must be drier than the Sahara Desert! Your last bomb is so dumb! You better stick to my Last Bullet 3 Likes |

xp17: when would nigerians start putting sentiments aside and face and acept defeat in the spirirt of sportmanship? yes john obi mikel played , just like christana ronaldo, but they both got a stronger man right in front to stop them. well, not everybody is lucky enough. Though John Obi Mikel played better than Ayo kanute and Emanue adebayo when the duo won this dreaded award , but there wasn't a strong contender at the time. This remind me of when Samuel Eto was on top of the game , we all wanted Jay Jay Okacha to emerge the winner , but deep inside of us we all knew that Samuel Eto performance was exceptional that year and better than that of Jay Jay. |

Fellow NLs, I know most of you preferred Mikel to win probably based on his achievements, especially AFCON and Europa. But let's face the facts; after the three finalists have been chosen, the winner of APOY is decided based on accumulated number of VOTES by different coaches, captains and technical members. Mikel's performance last year was fantastic, so also was that of Toure. But Toure garnered more votes than Mikel.... THE END |

domire: Good judgement. Mancity will miss yaya toure more than chelsea missing mikelCan u tell me 1 player dat chelsea will miss or indispensible 2 chelsea. Chelsea dont rely on any 4ucking poo of a player, afterall, 90% of goal scored in chelsea ar evenly frm d mid-field nd defends, u cant predict who wil av his name on d score sheet in a particular match. Moreover chelsea rotate players, lampard seems 2 b d most useful player but he do sit on bench. 1 Like |

I wonder how some people reason. Sentiment apart, Yaya deserve it. In fact, Mikel and Drogba shouldn't even be among the TOP contenders. Emenike and Jonathan Petropia should have been there instead. People say Mikel won the Europa, we all know Europa is LOSERs Cup for Champions League drop-outs. Beside Mikel wasn't instrumental, he played from d bench or second fiddle. AFCON? Damn it. Emenike was Nigeria's Key man along with Moses in that competition. In fact, Bance was better than Mikel in the AFCON games. Its like giving Pinto best goalie becos he has been winning trophies with FcB(from bench). Finally, Congrat to Toure, A worthy Barca product. I wish him the best. Next is MESSI to be crowned WORLD BEST 2 Likes |

naturalmi:Onazi is synonymous 2 oliver twist, alway want more of his ability. I tink d future is bright 4 him, he will start scoring free-kick frm unbelivable angle. Nigeria should av scored more dan 2 against italy if nt 4 his trial nd error mentality which mikel is lacking.. I tip him 2 b miles ahead of yaya. His club nd national performance is indispensible. His acceleration,speed, hardworking nd resilence is mouth watering. TBJ boi never get tired. |
