Ok well done.

Today is Sunday will be much busy during a large of the day. The only nominations I have not captured yet is that of safari. Later this evening I will post my own collation and we decide on those that are tied.

safarigirl:
Considering that in Nigeria, the female players are easily better than the male players and even in a head to head, the females would easily be better than the males, I could see how joining the awards for both teams would make the male team look as disgraceful as they actually are.


I have sha modified.

PS: Just because it is the norm doesn't make it right and it certainly doesn't mean that it cannot be altered. It was once the norm that women don't vote, but someone changed it.

There is no way some of the Super Falcons players are better than the Super Eagles players. You can say the women win more matches than the men. Yes, but not that they are better and now be nominated amongst the male players.

If you want to know how weak that Super Falcons team is compared to the SE let them go and play the Golden Eaglets team.

Safarigirl we are still waiting...

Meanwhile Joebie, hope ur collation is up to date, pending when safari drops hers.

safarigirl:
1. Nigerian Player of the Year- Ighalo, Iwobi, Musa

2. Nigerian home-based player of the Year- Ikouwem Udoh, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Junior Lokosa

3. Most Impactful New Inclusion- Jamilu Collins, Samuel Kalu, Henry Onyekuru

4. Best Goalkeeper- Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho (considering Akpeyi is genuinely useless, I do not see the sense in nominating him, and there is no one else left, so......)

5. Best Defender- William Troost-Ekong, Tyrone Ebuehi, Leon Balogun

6. Best midfielder- Wilfred Ndidi, John Obi Mikel, John Ogu

7. Best Attacker- Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo

8. Most Improved Player- Odion Ighalo,

9. Young Player of the Year- Samuel Kalu, Francis Uzoho, Samuel Chukwueze

10. Super Falcons Player of the Year- Tochukwu Oluehi, Francisca Ordega, Rita Chikwelu

11. Super Eagles Goal of the Year- Samuel Kalu's goal against Libya, Ahmed Musa (second goal against Iceland), Troost-Ekong's goal (vs DRC)

Item 3, Henry Onyekuru made his debute in 2017. Aside the two u have already mentioned let me help u with others so u chose 1 from them: Simeon Nwankwo, Kelechi Nwakali, Semi Ajayi

Item 4, if You don't want to pick Akpeyi u can pick Ajiboye or Afelokhai. That 3rd nomination position must be filled.

Item8, you only named Ighalo, again u need 3 nominees.

[quote author=causewahala post=73635129][/quote]Oga please don't cause distractions. We don't need u here.

safarigirl:
it is quite unfair to remove the Falcons from all categories of Nigerian football and relegate them to one measly category, even though they have done more for the nation's football than the male team could ever. Disrespectful even..... But it is what it is, I guess.

However, calling this a "Nigerian Footballers Award" is laughable if it is more of a Nigerian Male Football team award, remembering that the men did nothing this year compared to the women.

Let me modify sha


Troost-Ekong has just one goal for the Super Eagles, can't recall the team and Google is barely helping

Firstly there is no where in the world where during footballers awards male and female players are nominated together for an award category be it FIFA, CAF or SWAN awards.
Secondly, CAF and FIFA only has "Female Footballer of the Year award" and the other categories are for the males. Though we may in subsequent awards consider including other female awards. This could largely be attributed to relatively lower followership of the female game.
Then for Ekong, I guess the goal u we're referring to was against Congo DR in the friendly in PH leading to the 2018WC.

safarigirl:
1. Nigerian Player of the Year- Ighalo, Iwobi, Musa

2. Nigerian home-based player of the Year- Ikouwem Udoh, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Junior Lokosa

3. Most Impactful New Inclusion- Tyrone Ebuehi, Jamilu Collins, Samuel Kalu

4. Best Goalkeeper- Tochukwu Oluehi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Francis Uzoho

5. Best Defender- William Troost-Ekong, Tyrone Ebuehi, Leon Balogun

6. Best midfielder- Francisca Ordega,

7. Best Attacker- Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo

8. Most Improved Player- Odion Ighalo,

9. Young Player of the Year- Samuel Kalu, Francis Uzoho, Rashidat Ajibade

10. Super Falcons Player of the Year- Tochukwu Oluehi, Francisca Ordega, Rita Chikwelu

11. Super Eagles Goal of the Year- Samuel Kalu's goal against Libya, Ahmed Musa (second goal against Iceland), Troost-Ekong's goal

Nne, ha! You come mix Super Falcons players with SE players? Please the only category we should have nominations for Falcons is item 10. The other categories are strictly for the male players.

Also on your Item 3, Tyrone Ebuehi made his debute in 2017 against Togo in a friendly. He is not elligible for this category. We only nominate those that made their debut in 2018.
Your item 8 should have 3 players but u only nominated 1.
Your item 11, Troost Ekong's goal against who?

Please review your nominations and repost. Thanks.

In other News, I have secured a slot for the Results of the general Polls to be announced on CoreTV Abuja and Lagos. More details of this and for other media outfits to follow.

Cc:Tbaba1234, forgiveness, ChrisKels, Komekn, Joebie, TheSuperNerd, Safarigirl.

For those that reside in Abuja and Lagos, please how is the popularity and aerial coverage of CoreTV like?

The SWAN Edo state chapter Vice Chairman, who works with CoreTV Abuja, assured me of the slot after I shared this idea with him. I also intend approaching other popular media outfits.

These awards must not end on the front page of Nairaland. It must get to SWAN and numerous media outfits, The NFF, Rohr and even the players themselves.

Firstandonly:
which year Nigeria go host am

Where were you when Nigeria hosted in 1980 and 2000?

TheSuperNerd:
Okay Dad. No qualms. I have my list already drawn up but let me pass up the honor to Safarigirl. You and Joebie have already picked her as my replacement and I believe the others would have gone with it in my absence. Also, no one had any idea of knowing when I was going to get back. Infact, going by your deadline of December 6, I am even late. Also, she does come around unlike me of late.



So let Lady Safarigirl take my place here. Would be even nicer to have a lady's voice involved in the nominations. So Safarihoney, please go ahead and draw up your nominations.... Let me take the back seat on this one...

Cheers Y'all...

Ok. Thanks.

Safarigirl please make ur nominations. Thanks.

TheSuperNerd:
Okaaayyyyy... Not surprised by the number of mentions as I kinda deserve that. I've been itching to try make out time hoping I won't be so very late. I'm really sorry for not being around but I did hint about this to Chief Icon4s.

Uhmmm... Sir Joebie, alternative award? Okay, maybe we can discuss that later?

Chief Icon4s and every member of the committee... Please pardon me as I have been extremely engaged and I still am. I just wanted to come to check on things and possibly drop my nominations before I am gone again. Biko gbaram...

But hey... I see that Safarigirl is gonna step in for me. Maybe I should allow her take my place then for the meantime right? What do you say Chief Icon4s? I don't even know if my showing up now is bad timing or good timing... Lol

Ok

Welcome back. Please confirm you are making the nominations or Safarigirl does it.

If I may come in on this Chukwueze issue, firstly comparing him with Mbappe is not fair, even though they are of same age. You cannot compare the opportunities for development both players had. That aside Chukwueze cannot match Mbappe talent-wise.

That aside, I do not agree that Chukwueze has not done enough to deserve a SE call up. Or he has not done enough to deserve the rating he gets here. Chukwueze is a product of our Youth System. We saw what he did at the U17 and we have closely monitored his progress and he has continued to improve and leave up to his rating.

Don't get me wrong I am not rating him based only on his U17 outing but also his continued development and recent performances for Villa Real. I watched the Barca. Vs Villarreal game with a friend and he asked me "why is this boy not playing for the Super Eagles?" I just told him we just capped him in a friendly against Uganda. Not all football fans follow national team football like we do here.

I personally tip Chukwueze to fluorish to become a major Attacking force in the Super Eagles but whether he will rub shoulders with the best in the world I cannot say.

Danielnino00:
Current state of the Abuja national stadium pitch. This photo was taken a few hours ago..

The national sport festival is taking place there now...

What a shame

tbaba1234:
Sorry about that

No wahala

Safarigirl we are waiting on your nominations.

komekn:
If you restrict the nominations too only 2018 there is a very limited value you can't measures true quality. The term is impact, what impact can you measure in terms of quality from 2/3 games a player has played. In the past 11 months.

It's not an award just a statistic that says they turned up.


The time span is just too short and the numbers too small.

Nonetheless, to fulfil all righteousness.

My three nominees are Kelechi Nwakali, Semi Ajayi and Jamilu Collins.

You cannot tell me u cannot see the impact Samuel Kalu and Jamilu Collins have made in the team thus far.

tbaba1234:

Tbaba1234, Joebie, ChrisKels, Komekn, Forgiveness, TheSuperNerd.
With TheSuperNerd unavoidably not available. We went back to the list and Safarigirl is next in line. She has rescinded her earlier decision of opting out. So she can take TheSuperNerd's spot.

Please let's co-opt her so we can move on. Thanks.

tbaba1234:
Ajayi, Collins, Chukwueze

Plus also Ebuehi and Iwobi on your item 9 are not elligible they are 23 and 22 already. The Award is for players U21. Thanks for the quick response.

Tbaba all your nominees for item 3 are all not eligible. We are to nominate players that were included in 2018 and not 2017. Though u have subsequently adjusted ur 1 & 2. Please we need a quick response as Collation is in progress.

safarigirl:
supernerd no dey the group?

He has not responded to request for nominations. And so we are seeking an alternative of replacing him.

You were actually supposed to be a replacement but u opted out. However, we can co-opt u if u have a change of mind about ur earlier decision. This will save us the stress of rolling out a new poll on that which will slow down this process.

I prefer that Asisat that didn't have money. She was more prolific in front of goal.

forgiveness:
Ok let us see the two then cast our vote here.

There are even 4 of them having 2 points.Good that they are equally well knowledgeable and respected house members. Let's chose by picking 1 out of the 4. The person that has the highest picks joins us.

Cc: Tbaba1234, Komekn, Joebie, ChrisKels,

Gentle men let's please make this process hasty.

forgiveness:
Did Nerd refused the post? Let us hear from him na.

If we can't hear then the person that took the 8th position can be drafted in.

He has not responded up till now despite several mentions and reminders for his nominations. He is obviously very busy, he even mentioned it earlier. Waiting to hear from him is like waiting indefinitely and then putting this whole process on hold indefinitely.

As for the 8th position, could have been safari but she has openly opted out. For those next in line we had ties. I think 2 or 3 persons. I suggest we pick one of them and move on.

ChrisKels:
We have enough men already, we could let Nerdy's slip

Ok, but if we go ahead with the remaining 6. We could potentially have to break some ties in the nominees mentions. Having 7 members in the committee will ensure we have tie breakers. Do we pick some one from the house to quickly join us in the nominations? I know people who would be willing to. Or we just move on with 6 of us and hope voting for breaking of ties goes well.

Cc: Tbaba1234, Joebie, Forgiveness, Komekn, TheSuperNerd.

We have till 6pm to decide this and then move on

ChrisKels:
Give it to Okwaraji, the one who almost single handedly wrote the name "Nigeria" in Europe. Besides, he died defending the GWG. Lets give him that honour

That seals it.

Thompson Oliha: 1
Samuel Okwaraji: 4
Muda Lawal: 1

The last vote from TheSuperNerd cannot make any difference.

So, It is The Samuel Okwaraji Best Midfielder Award.

Cc: Forgiveness, Tbaba1234, Joebie, TheSuperNerd, ChrisKels, Komekn.

Sample for Collation.

Each Committee member has nominated 3 players per award category. You just count the frequency of nominations for each player per category across all Committee members.
Eg.
1). Nigerian player of the Year nominations: Iwobi 5, Ighalo 3, Musa 4, Moses 2, etc. .Top 3= Iwobi, Musa and Ighalo.

Do this across all the Categories. I am suggesting Sir Joebie to join me in doing this please.

Cc: Tbaba1234, Komekn, Joebie, ChrisKels, Forgiveness, TheSuperNerd.

Deadline for nominations is 6pm (Nairaland time).

Komekn note that u have not made nominations for Most impressive New inclusions as all the players u have been nominating are not elligible. U have till 6pm to tidy this up. Else we move on without your nominations for that category.

Joebie:
Komekn mind dey our other thread lol

No be wetin we dey discuss for that thread we dey come summarize here?

Meanwhile Joebie please get ready. You and I will do a collation of the nominations as from 6pm (Nairaland time) today.

You do your own and post it. And I do mine and post as well. Just for checks and balances.

Joebie:
na everything we go debate? Just make your choice and let’s move on. Some people too like argument sef.

Him don dey point accusing finger at me already say I dey autocratic.

Tomorrow now him go say na me impose the name of the award. Let him have his own say o.

ChrisKels:
Even though I would be glad if such move happened, this is just a fantasy, a mere speculation. It a personal opinion from soccersouls.com, so nothing serious. The site is only doing a reccommendation. Read the article below to see the teams that have really shown interest in the boy.
