John Ogu advocates for Victor Osimhen’s recognition in the 2023 African Footballer of the Year Awards

Former Super Eagles star, John Ogu has sent an apparent warning to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) about the upcoming 2023 African Footballer of the Year Awards.

Nigerians continue to plead Victor Osimhen's case concerning who should win the award among the nominees.

The Super Eagles striker was one of the 30 nominees for the 2023 Africa Player of the Year award alongside the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Riyad Mahrez.

Former Super Eagles midfielder, Ogu took to X (formerly Twitter) to send a message to the organisers of the award, as he believes Osimhen has done enough to win the accolade ahead of other nominees.

"Dear [CAF], I'm sure y’all saw the whole Ballon d'Or setting last night. This is exactly how we want such an award to be delivered and well organised for our star boy [Osimhen] as the best player in Africa. Thank you in advance," he said.

The Nigerian international scored 26 goals for Napoli last season and led them to their first Serie A title in 33 years. He was also the top goal-scorer during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with 10, according to TransferMarkt.

The annual CAF awards are scheduled for December and will be held in Marrakech, a city in Morocco.

No mind dem. That's how some fools have been shouting robbed because of Leo Messi.
I've been asking them how he robbed the Balon D'Or but none of them is capable of answering that.

Are they saying that the journalists who did the voting robbed someone?
Some are even calling FIFA, many dey very ignorant on the media space 🤣

Victor Osimhen (Nigeria and SSC Napoli) Won 1* Italian serial A. No world cup

Sadio Mane (Senegal and Al Nassr) won German bundesliger and 1 cup with Al Nassr played world cup

Youssef En-Nesyri (Morocco and Sevilla) wine Europa league and 4th place world cup.

Peter Shalulile (Namibia and Mamelodi Sundowns) won the treble with Mamelodi Sundowns

Achraf Hakimi (Morocco and Paris Saint-Germain) won. French ligue 1 and 4th place world cup.

Does Osimen have a chance...

These Arab/Francophone alliance be messing up CAF awards since time immemorial. They might likely give one of the Moroccan guys as the award will be held in Morocco

@seun this topic is not synonymous with the article at all, what are the mods doing for Christ's sake? I keep seeing topics that don't match articles whatsoever.

We getting there 💪

Good

Seun and his mods know that majority will only read the headline, yet imagine the headline completely different from the context just like a town hall meeting different from bala Blu SMD

Not by threat ohhh.

Lol that wasn't a warning but an expression of confidence....

However It's not by sentiments but by voting, even though Osimehn deserves it.

Okocha suffered all that too in the hands of Mustapha Hadji and Samuel Etoo but Heavens did not fall.

He understands what happend on monday

This goat wan spoil things for oshimen them send u message. If Oshimen failed to win let hold john ogu responsible

Yeah, I want Victor osimen to win......

But why most nigerianss like to talk loosely and foolishly online?
What if they didn't give Osimen? Will heaven fall?

WHY Should Osimen win the award ?what has he achieved in Africa? YES, he might have don a lot for Napoli but he has no major award in Africa. He has not done anything exceptional . We need to stop all this one legged sentiment abeg.
"Some one said "they might likely give one of the Moroccan guys as the award will be held in Morocco". Fact is any Morrocan footballer deserve the award. They played at the international level and not just club level... so , when we talk football, lets talk fact and not nationalism

You dey mind him

Pessi wey win Ballon D'ro no even merit am

Any Pessi fans that quote me will ......

We know that, that CAF is very corrupt but it will be difficult for them to perform their usual corruption this time around

What is the meaning of this NONSENSE?

Who made you the spokesman of Osimen?
