Such a shame that no African representative voted Victor Osimhen for the Balon d'or. When I mean NONE, I mean including NIGERIA
According to what the organisers published. Not a single journalists and representatives of African extraction voted Osimhen

Nigeria 🇳🇬 :- Messi
South 🇿🇦 :- Messi
Algeria 🇩🇿 :- Haaland
Benin 🇧🇯 :- Haaland
Cameroon 🇨🇲 :- Mbappe
Ivory 🇨🇮 :- Mbappe
Egypt 🇪🇬 :- Messi
Gabon 🇬🇦 :- Haaland
Ghana 🇬🇭 :- Haaland
Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇳 :- Haaland
Morocco 🇲🇦 :- Messi
Uganda 🇺🇬 :- Messi
Senegal 🇸🇳 :- Haaland
Tunisia 🇹🇳 :- Messi
Zambia 🇿🇲 :- Messi
Cape 🇨🇻 :- Haaland

Victor Osimhen was voted by representatives from other continents. Loved from afar. 💚🇳🇬

It’s not your general election where tribalism, religious & ethic bigotry determine who gets your vote … 😂

It's the nature of the melanated kind... Crab mentality is default. That is why you never let them know your next move, just use them as stepping stool if anybody them loose guard

But that list represents majority votes. Some individual votes may have gone to Osimhen, but only Messi, Haaland and Mbappe won majority votes.

Anyway, Osimhen was never a contender for Ballon d'Or so if Nigeria or any other African country had voted for him, it would have been a clear case of biased voting.

Why should they? Africans and inferiority complex. How many Europeans voted for Rodri, or how many South-Americans voted for Vinicius Jr.?

Cameroon voted Mbappe so Nigeria should have voted Osimhen.

The other countries do not have their nationalities on the ballot. The Sports Ministry should investigate this kind of nonsense that keeps happening even when election holds for seats on international bodies.

How on earth will you vote against your own who keeps sacrificing time to honour national call up. The NFA owes this young man a serious apology. This is disgraceful and completely unacceptable! Check my signature for free stuffs!

No country voted anybody. No country nominated anybody to vote on their behalf. L’equippe chose journalists. Those journalists voted their choices. Stop making it look like the voters were representatives of these countries.

We luv playing the victim card in Africa. For fvk sake those journalists voted for whom dey feel deserves the Balon d'or. They did not vote along ethnic or religious line. If we want to move forward as a continent we need to b objective and remove sentiment from whatever we re doing.

Will u compare Osimhen to Haaland, Mbappe and Messi's performances? Who do us this shit.?
