Sports / Why Didn't Jay-jay Okocha Win The Coveted APOTY Award? by MetalJigsaw(m): 8:19am On Jul 12 |
Why didn't Jay~Jay Okocha WIN the coveted CAF African Footballer Of The Player🌍👑 Award despite finishing in the top three on three occasions?.🤔 One of the greatest mysteries that baffle Nigerian and some football fans across the world till today is how Austin Jay~Jay Okocha missed out on big individual awards during his playing career. Jay~Jay was known for his trickery, dribbling skill, set-piece quality and w!zardry on the ball. Opposition players were scared to get close to him so as not to get embarrassed by his skills or genius. However, for all of his gifted talents, Okocha never won the African Footballer Of The Player award. Aside from the BBC African Footballer year, the ex-Super Eagles captain did not win any other major individual award🥺. Okocha was nominated for the CAF Player of the Year Award three (3) times. The first of his award came in 1998 when he finished a close second behind Mustapha Hadji of Morocco. Jay-Jay then got consecutive nominations in 2003 and 2004, finishing third behind Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast and Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon, respectively, on both occasions. 🗣️ Ronaldinho about Jay-Jay Okocha “Jay Jay Okocha, wow!! That man made football listen to him. At training, we would watch him doing a freestyle; whatever he wanted to do, the ball would do it.” 🗣️ Samuel Eto'o about Jay-Jay Okocha “Ronaldinho did what Nigeria legend Okocha had done 10, 15 years before', just that Jay-Jay did not get the recognition he deserved.” The Super Eagles of Nigeria midfield maestro has retired since 2008, but he reminded many of his greatness during friendly encounters years later! Even at 50, Jay~Jay Okocha keep deleting elderly men from the pitch with his trademark ™️ dribble. The heartwarming moments were testament to Okocha’s ageless genius and which have left spectators in awe for years! The most skilful player to come out of Africa and the world, but regrettably he was not seen among the greats. Even in Africa, where his class had a divine blessing directly from God, Jay-Jay Okocha was still not accorded all the respect he deserved during his playing days!

🇳🇬 🗣️ John Obi Mikel: "My dad got kidnapped while I was playing for Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup in Russia." "We were about to play against Argentina. Two hours before the game I got a phone call from my brother saying my dad got kidnapped." "The first time he was kidnapped was shocking, but the second time was even more shocking because I was about to go into one of the biggest games of my life." “I couldn't leave the room. I couldn't tell anybody. I was alone in the room for about 30 minutes, thinking what am I going to do?" "But we're about to go into the biggest game of our lives. We're about to play against Lionel Messi and Argentina." "Chelsea were very supportive. I remember Roman Abramovich saying 'do you want me to send people over? Because I know if I send people over, I can get your dad out' — I was like, how are you going to do this?" "He said don't worry about that. Just let me know if you want that option, I can do it." 4/5 days after the game, John's father was released and rescued by police. 3 Likes 2 Shares

" I will rather we miss the world cup than allow what Victor did to stand because IF this situation is not nipped in the bud right now, it will set a wrong precedence in the team that certain players can get away with anything, and one day, someone like Osihmen will slap a Coach - and it will be free for all fight, do you want the Super Eagles to be in the news for such event? na so e take dey start, when misbehavior is overlooked and not punished- it will grow wings until it becomes a normal thing for Coaches to be slapped by players - Victor must be punished In the last nations cup, Ghanaian fans almost physically attacked the players of the black stars at their hotel entrance, they poured insults on them and mocked them like say tomorrow no dey - they blocked their bus from even leaving the hotel - they blamed key players like Mohammed Kudus, the Ayew Brothers (Dede and Jordan) for the poor showing of the Black Stars, did any of these players swear Ogun for the fans ? - IF France can do without Kareem Benzema when he was World Player of the Year, definitely Osimhen is not bigger than Nigeria "In 1989, Some Super Eagles players then did almost what Victor did right now - they talked trash to the press about NFF and demanded for $30,000 to be payed to them upfront before they show up for camp at Algiers’1990 Nations cup Players like (now Late) Steven Keshi, (now Late) Phillip Osondu, Samson Siasia and co held the nation to ransom and we were all panicking about our nations cup showing - You know what Clemens Westerhoff, our Dutch technical adviser did then ? he expelled all of them from the team - these were Nigeria’s best then - we still came back from that tournament with Silver Medal even though our boys were very inexperienced, they were very hungry for success because they never expected such opportunity. Westerhoff threw the camp open for whoever wants to play to come play—/ many unknown players came and one of them was a 17 year old Daniel Amokachi from Ranchers Bees of Kaduna, Others were Ben Iroha, Toyin Ayinla, Ayo (Dodo) Ogunlana, Uche Okechukwu, Osita Aniweke, Ajibade Babalade, Moses Kpakor, Friday Elahor, Thompson Oliha, Alloy Agu, Isaac Semitoje, Herbet Anijekwu, Emma Okocha (Jay Jay Okocha’s elder brother) and a few others that became the best Super Eagles of 1994 And when the recalcitrant players like Keshi found out that Nigeria survived without them, they became more commited and issued apology to the team and country and their patriotism spiked. That event taught me a leason that in life, learn to let go for certain things to work out So Stop displaying fear and weakness by trying to cuddle nonsense - Victor must be punished and if he cant take the punishment let him retire from International football, he is not the first to do so and he wont be the last- the world does not revolve around Osimhen If my favorite player ever and the deadliest and most lethal finisher in world football history - Marco Van Basten could retire at a very young age of 25 because of Injury and the world of football did not stop, then Osimhen can retire from the super eagles and the world of Nigerian football will continue, talents abound in Nigeria - he will not be missed more than 6 months trust me!!!!" 8 Likes 2 Shares |

"I remembered when Victor Osimhen abused Victor Ikpeba, because Ikpeba accused him of wasting the chanced he should have scored in the world cup play off against Ghana, I mentioned in some of the shows I attended that time, he should be santioned and be made to pay fine and apologize to Ikpeba. I was so shocked today, when I saw the video where he was lashing out at Finidi on Instagram, using fowl languages, calling Finidi by name, he didn't say, coach Finidi, uncle Finidi, Mr Finidi, but he called him by name. Such behavior is highly condemnable, and should not go unpunished. Finidi can born Osimhen, what Finidi achieved in football, Osimhen can never achieve it, Finidi help Nigeria qualify for world cup twice and play in world cup twice, Osimhen couldn't help Nigeria qualify for world cup and has not played in world cup. Finidi won champion's league with Ajax, Osimhen is yet to win it, Finidi is an AFCON winner, Osimhen has not achieved that. Finidi was the best number 7 in his days, Osimhen is not the best number 9 currently. As current African footballer of the year, he is an ambassador of Africa as a whole, not just Nigeria, therefore someone like him must not be seen with such dirty action. Now coming to the matter, Finidi shouldn't have mentioned name, he should have talked generally, but I understand his frustration. But come to think of it, their is no lie in what Finidi said about Osimhen, since Osimhen has become the team's number one striker, he has been selecting matches he will play, in the last 5 years, most of the friendly matches the super eagles have played, Osimhen has always opted out, anyone who is doubting should go and research, I stand to be challenged and corrected. He will claim he is injured, but immediately after the friendly, you will see him playing in Napoli. We all remember how he colluded with his club to opt out of AFCON 2 years ago, up till today, the reason for opting out is not clear. This is always the problem with so many Nigerian players, most expecially those that sees themselves as the most important players in the team, Austin Okocha and Kanu Nwakwo too were selecting matches they will play in their own time, that is why Nigeria could not qualify for world cup in 2006, because they were not honouring invitation for world cup qualifiers matches away from home, I remember when a journalist asked Okocha why he didn't honour a particular match, he responded by saying he is not a machine. Mikel Obi and Victor Moses too did the same thing, I remembered Stephen Keshi dealt with Mikel Obi because of that, by not inviting him for close to a year, it was the last qualifying match for 2013 AFCON that he invited him again, and ever since, Mikel did not try that again. Obafemi Martins was doing same thing, Nigeria almost not qualify for 2010 world cup, because Martins and some players were not honouring away matches, that was the reason Amodu shuaibu wanted to drop him for 2010 AFCON in Angola, if not for the public outcry and the intervention of the NFF, Amodu would have dropped him. Even when they got to Angola, Amodu put him on the bench, and was using Yakubu Ayegbeni, Ozase Odewenge and Chinedu Obasi upfront, martins will only come in at the tail end of the match. We can go on and on, it's a problem with our players, they are arrogant, they feel too big, they fill uncontrollable. My suggestion is that, henceforth, let their be a code of conduct for every members of the team and the technical crew about dos and donts, that anyone who er, anyone who does contrary will be made to face sanction. Back to Osimhen, he must be disciplined, he must be ban for sometime from the team and must be made to apologize to Finidi and Ikpeba." #highlight #follower #everyone #Copied# 2 Likes |
