In a town of blind men, a one-eyed man rules dem all........

#Yaya is so average........

what's even sad is dat aubemeyang is on dat list....what has this dude reallly done to deserve the final three listing? oh is it cos he plays for dortmond?

he's gud but not last three gud. i'm starting to think that african player of the year award is now for players who play big teams. much like the aboutrikka case and the outright insult caf delivered to mputu mabi....best local african player of the year...wat rubbish...they were better than the other contenders dat year.

yaya toure may be the best...but that is a very sad event for african football seeing as he's really not that grt.

Taking nothing away from Yaya, he is fantastic, but let's b realistic, dis award should b scrapped for now and d money used in organising it, channeled to developing the round leather game in Africa, cz for a player to win African player of d year award, 4 times now, BT has failed to come close to winning the world footballer of the year, shows the deplorable state of African football. For me enyeama should hv won it, cz he has proven himself both in africa(acfon) and beyond, but Yaya displays talent abroad, but fails to replicate same performance wen he comes to Africa (afcon).
Exactly!!! Even Enyeama set records in the French am still trying to remember the records Yaya set in England...

That's what happens when Nigerians celebrate mediocrity.
Why will he cry? Wen he knows pretty well dat Yaya truly deserves it. Yaya was not only voted the CAF African Footballer of the year, but was also voted the BBC African Footballer of the year. Even a blind man knows dat he truly deserve it. Did u watch his goal against Sheffield Wednesday in the F.A Cup? Yaya is a beast. The guy is so good. I'm just lafing @ mikel, pride has eaten him up. Yaya Gneri-Gneri Toure is a deserved winner of the CAF African Footballer of the year for the 4th consecutive time. THUMBS UP YAYA.

before you cry foul,ask urself what was Enyeama's achievements in the last 12 months.. I keep saying it sentiments will take us no where. I hope Nigerians will drop their sentiments ånd Vote in the right President come February. Long live king Yaya! Long live Buhari(president elect)!! Long live Africa!!!

Guy, this your question is very funny. What was Enyeama's achievements in the last one year? That's like asking what the achievements of a student who scored eight A's out of nine are simply because he was beaten to the prize by the guy who had nine straight A's. How often do you see goalkeepers making the final shortlist of any football awards across the globe? Yet Enyeama has been nominated twice this year. That in itself is a testament to how well Enyeama has done in 2014.

No doubt Yaya was the better player in 2014. I would have voted for him too ahead of Enyeama. But to dismiss the goalies performance with a flippant wave of the hand is totally unfair.

Yet another funny comment. So Enyeama was mediocre this year? We might as well conclude that Messi was mediocre in 2013 simply because Ronaldo was named as the best player of the year.

That someone did better than the other doesn't mean one's achievement is mediocre bro.

I foresee him winning two more
did you see his last weekend goal? That alone can give him the next one. Enyema is good, he's only unfortunate to come out at a very wrong time. Yaya is too hot for anyone for now

Yaya s good but Enyeama deserves it
you correct bro,ßüt he has no trophy to boast of.ånd French league is a 3rd fiddle if not 5th to EPL. bringing it down to africa,he failed to qualify for d afcon 2015 ånd he was d captain of the team. I wish him luck ånd success in future as nobody would be happier than me if he wins it next time.

I must commend Enyeama in all honesty. He has put in a great fight ånd has exhibited spirit of doggedness. ßüt for him getting as far as the 2nd best player in Africa with all his 2014 achievements only spelt doom for Africa football. Go to Europe,you will be confused on who will likely win European best player,having seen the performance ånd achievements of the last 3 men standing.. Our very own Enyeama çån only boast of some 11 or 12 clean sheets he kept ånd nothing more. Are we going to give our most esteem award to somebody who didn't win any trophy in the said year ånd also led his team out of Afcon 2015 final just becos of some 12 clean sheets? I only weep for africa's football
