Shattuck:
there was an award given for Africa's best before CAF started it's own award, combining that to the recent CAF award which began in 1993 given cameroon I think 11 awards.

The topic says CAF Awards and like you said,it started in 1993..

Factcheck0001:
when was he robbed?

Which significant thing did he do in football aside from needless dribbles that add nothing to teams

Kanu will always b rated over him anyday anytime

Okocha was shoe in for the 1998 Award..
Nigeria not being at the AFCON 98 cost him,Hadji won with 2 votes..

All this Epistle just to confuse yourself?
Who gave Weah the African Footballer Of the year in 1997 and 1999?
Ogbeni, Victor Ikpeba won it in 1997 and Kanu won it 1999.
Stop confusing yourself with fake news..

bluefilm:
But the greatest of them all, is not even on the list

Who?

Austin Jay Jay Okocha

Greatest because he can dribble?
Football is not a Circus Show..

LivingSage:
Check this thread about Cameron being the most winner of the CAF men of the year award

https://www.nairaland.com/8295806/caf-men-most-awards-nigeria#133342715

CAF started giving the Award in 1993 and Nigeria has the most winners.
Before then the African Best Player Awards was given by France Football Magazine.

geoworldedu:
African POTY award hasn't started by this time. Before there are other awards then, like BBC African player that Okocha won twice.

Not the same thing..
The Africa Best Player Awards used to be given by France Football Magazine untill CAF took over in 1993.

Akwamkpuruamu:
It mrans different persons winning the award as Nigerians and not nigeria nation winning it most. Cameroon is still leading the pack of most caf player of the year awards

The keyword is CAF..
Cameroon does not have the most CAF awards

jesusjnr2020:
You're right! 👏

Gullible Sheep comes in all shades..

Even a photoshopped Elon Musk..

Delusional bunch.

Zonefree:
Ogun will not kill my pastor abeg.

Yes..

Only your Pastor is not a Scammer..

You are very much okay with him fleecing you..

Exousiang01:
These men have want to bring shame to the body of christ at all cost

Religion is a SCAM..

There's nothing to shame in a delusional mind..

Ikpunekenwa:
Paraguay relocates embassy to Jerusalem, Allah Kubah🤣🤣😭😭

And how does that piece of information provide food on your hungry, sh1thole nation?

masterfactor:
I thought IPOB said he is a Finland citizen.

A Finnish Citizen can't be charged with terrorism?

CodeTemplar:
Lol. At leasst they were not slaughtered like rams.

What exactly is this statement supposed to mean and achieve?
Everything na Clout chasing and bait to you?

RealityKings1:
Let the man be, anyone could make mistakes reading complex figures.
That doesn't change the fact that he will be a governor for 8 years

Is that the crux of the thread?

Na so Una dey take simple exam..

press9jatv:
Gabriel Jesus should please score now. Saka should have start the game

Which match are you watching?

zoer:
Will the country allow the sale of alcohol?
And if it will expect Kano and sokoto to kill Christians and cause riots.

Whilst you are at it,maybe they should also open the floodgates for the LGBTQ community..
Since na an indulgence competition you are going to..

Biafrannuke:
Do you think there is no God? A war that cost the rebels tens of thousands of casualties and ended in a loss after years of fighting has now been won within a week costing them nothing.

The Jews fought for over 2000 years for an independent homeland to no avail but when the time was ripe, it took only hundreds of Zionist fighters to rout the entire Arab state actors and establish the Jewish state of Israel.

Biafra already fought a war with millions dead. When Biafra's time will come, which is soon, the key actors against its emergence will be confused as it will emerge miraculously.

Keep telling lies and your gullible Urchins will keep swallowing it..

A few hundred Zionists routed the Arabs and established the Jewish state of Israel ?

Keep telling yourself that..

Think your stvpid propaganda is going to get you anywhere?

timilehing:
The first kind is over 10 years

Maybe because he's not their biological son..

She had 3 children not 4..

purples25:
It's the wrapper and the headtie. You have married women dressing up like their husbands moms and you expect them not to look the part. Anyway, that's probably what her husband wants. He probably wants to keep looking young while she looks old, under the guise of dressing mature.

There are gowns that will cover her, yet make her look like a plus sized young model, but this is what hubby wants. E no want make any man look at his woman at all.

Yeah..

Find a way to twist it and blame the man..

Typical half baked woman sense.

Blackmercyvelly:
Since Biafra said they are part of Biafra I know this kind news we are about to read and hearing 😄😄

Since Biafra said they are part of Biafra..

Your Mumu no get part 2..

Biafra 2 Biafra ko.

Satazaa:
while his actions are condemnable and horrific who told you that because a woman carries a child for nine months is enough for her not to bewitch their child, this life is very deep and if you don't believe then you must be a very naive young man

Rest Oga..

Na only poor man him mother dey bewitch?

That is why your likes dey brand,maim and kill their children as witches..

Deep nonsense..

Ekaka14:
I only counted 17 in that picture....where are the rest of the wives?

Try to read it will not kill you.

haybhi1:
Rest. It's across board. Hostel fee for medical students at Unilorin was 40k two years ago, 55k last year, and now they hiked it to 108k, until the SU waded in to bring it to 100k.

It's the new reality, deal with it. Seize your fuss.

Shalom.

So because it's across board they should swallow it without complain?
Whatever they are told to pay it's fine, it's across board?

richmond500:
In 2024, there is someone that thinks a former ashawo is better than a God fearing woman.

Google just try and bring up AI that automatically deletes stupid comments on the net

A god fearing woman,as vetted by who?

All these holier than you Charlatans..

Na Una self righteous bigots be the worst examples when it comes to marry..

Look at your serial divorcée Daddy GOs,where were their beliefs and righteousness?

descarado:
Don't know what that means but that was dreadful to watch.

It means the water levels can rise and fall,depending on the pull of the moon and time of the day..

Obyangel:
You're lucky brother, I picked periwinkles at OJO Sea/water side beach. The owners (Marine people) came to me around 2am (midnight) next morning and seriously warned me to return the periwinkles and never come back to pick it again. I humbly return it to them with apologies.

This world is very deep and mysterious.

You seem to have an overactive superstitious imagination..🤔

Frigga13:
