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.

Thank God they voted based on OBJECTIVITY and not SENTIMENT and the best of the very best player won.

Sentiments aside, Osimhen can never win the balon dor with a club like Napoli.

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!

Lol same people always playing the Racism card can't even support a Black like them...


We know he can't win Nigeria his country why not just waste the Vote to support him....

That's the height of the hatred in this country
Naija don cast las las, but there is tiny hope remaining, not the renewed one ooo, Real hope that soon, Nigerians will recover their country
Re: No African Country Voted For Osimhen For Balon D'or (Photo) by haybhi1(m): 9:53pm On Nov 07, 2023
Well, they all should have voted him because he clearly plays better than Messi, Mbappe, and Haaland.
Re: No African Country Voted For Osimhen For Balon D'or (Photo) by oneman2k7: 9:53pm On Nov 07, 2023
Nigeria my country, always value oyinbo more than their own. Thank God Gaza is not on the list.

Not because they didn't want to....... but because they know who the award will go to eventually.

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.

Except they want to bring nepotism into it,, Is anyone in their right mind going to put Osimehen ahead of Messi and Haaland?
Re: No African Country Voted For Osimhen For Balon D'or (Photo) by Numerouno94(m):
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.?
