Okocha was robbed
Okocha was more of an entertainer than a footballer.

He only played like 3 seasons of serious club football, whereby he was depended upon for victories.
And that was in Bolton, who didn't play in champions League or competed for premier league Title.

He's still the most entertaining player out of Africa.

But even his dribblings are not as effective as Salah or kanu.

Kanu had more seasons of serious club football. So did mane, Salah, finidi George, Mikel obi, eto, Yaya toure, drogba etc etc.

It’s the way the picture was taken, he’s not that old.

Again, advise your SA sisters to marry Naija blood. Naija are strong for a reason, your girls should avoid weak genes from South African men

How can I advise my SA sisters to marry Nigerian guys when I myself I'm afraid of them, I'm only free around them here on nairaland because it's a faceless forum...😑😑😑

It's Nigeria, but I know why people say Cameroon.

The thread is referring to CAF Player of the Year Award. Nigeria has won it the most.

There used to be another award that was presented by France Football Magazine. It was called the Ballon d'Or Africain. Cameroonians won that award more (some Nigerians said that France Football favoured francophone Africans).

France Football stopped awarding the Ballon d'Or Africain sometime around 1994 when they opened the European Ballon d'Or award to non-Europeans.
Oh that makes sense then. Thanks.

Let me modify

If Tinubu was the president during Jay Jay time he would win it like 2 times. 3 days ago he made a big statement by paying for Nigeria outstanding dues to ECOWAS for the past 18years! Read between the line guys.Nobody can cheat Tinubu's guys in a game of politics and CAF award like Ballin Dor etc is pure politics.

Nigeria was more dominant at the beginning of the CAF Awards (from 1992 till 1999). At that time we always had someone in the top 3, many times there were 2 Nigerians in the top 3 and we also won the award back to back.
Re: Nigeria Becomes The Country With The Most CAF Player Of The Year Awards by FEGNO: 8:53pm On Dec 17, 2024
Jay Jay Okocha should have been on that list but for some reasons he never won it despite being the best over several seasons
