My heart is so full right now when a number of us tipped Osimhen for greatness we were mocked, called delusional and wallowing in mediocrity thank God we have been justified.

I see one or two monikers who were vehemently against Victor in the beginning now shining teeth but hey it's all good love and light

charlesemeka85:
So Hakimi no win am again?😜😜

Congratulation to big VIC!!

Man U and Chelsea have a better chance of winning the epl this season than the bold happening.

The fact that some of them won’t own up and apologize makes it pretty difficult for themselves.

Why is it so hard to say, oh I misjudged this player when he was evolving but now I have seen, he’s highly gifted and everyone will move on.

Kog45:
Winning Afcon is easy for talented footballer cuz I have seen not too fantastically footballers that have won it…..to win it believes in your talent not money,Okocha went for money and Ikpeba followed his career strictly and won it.

If Osimhen chooses a wrong club he would not even be nominated talk less of winning it,going to Napoli did it and he should be careful in his next step before leaving Napoli.

Agreed 💯 without question.

At this stage your next club has to fit your unique skill set and improve you otherwise it can all go downwards badly.

The next thing is maintaining greatness, players like Kane, Lewondoski, Ronaldo, Messi have maintained greatness.

Benzema has been great but always in the shadows of Ronaldo when Ronaldo left his greatness came out winning the Ball at age 33.

Lukaku, Salah, Haaland, have always been at the top level of scoring charts consistently season to season this is what makes them great.

Kog45:
Years back youdidn’t rated Tomori and Adarabioyo.

How many years back 🔙 and when did I start rating them.

RATINGS are not static but continuous going up and down. Last years performance is not enough to to give you standing this year, you must perform consistently in the present continuous not past.

I've known Tosin since he was 15 at Manchester city up close and personal. He was a skinny gangly kid decent on the ball ,tall fast but not physical.

In 2018 he went WBA on loan he was good but not exceptional then he went to Blackburn 2019 he had developed, it was when I saw him bully my preferred player Dominic Iorfa and score. He was now a man a complete beast and much much better than Dominic that's when I said he needs to be signed sealed and delivered for the SE. Check my post at the time.

So are you saying I should have been clamouring for Tosin when he was gangly skinny teenager who had not played first team football ⚽. To play in the SE, when his development was not complete.

You don't come into the SE to develop it's not youth football you come to show what you have in the HERE and NOW.

Fikayo I had known not very well at Chelsea seem him at Brighton and Hull and he was at that time poor and unimpressive. He was 19 playing RB for Hull alongside Aina. I watched him up close and personal against Burton Albion and he was not good enough at THAT TIME.

Fast forward to 2018 playing for Derby County as a CB Fikayo had become a man Dude was exceptional and the best CB in the championship that season. I starred saying he needs to be capped NOW when he was at Derby before England notice him. Some said he is too low playing in the Championship,etc

So once again should I be rating him as a SE player when in my opinion he is not exceptional and had not developed. Once again it has to be in the HERE and NOW or by future speculation.❓

I have higher expectations it may seem for the SE only outstanding players in the HERE and NOW in club and league.

Thats why if you don't attain quality I stop talking about you, there is no time to wait you find someone who is.

Will be back when the AFCON list is released. I've closed for the year.

Every single young player is evolving, some will peak at 14 and you never hear of them some will peak at 16 and go on to great things. Some may never get to the standard it's football.

You don't make assesment in the HERE and NOW on future speculation.

I got back froma youth football tournament in Malta yesterday and there is a U15 youth player for Crystal palace I was looking at. That's looking really exceptional. Will he be exceptional in three years time, I simply don't know. He has great potential but it's not realised yet.

Well, same Video and five persons elected to go for Victor O.


So except he wasn't "permitted to vote for his country man" That excuse sounds like lamba really.

Just damage control..


And I also don't think CAF will go about editing different videos. What will be their agenda!?


Lamba. Just damage control.

This is the Nigerian problem, you must support somebody based on favouritism, nepotism and tribalism.

This is the reason we have a certificate forgerer, ID Thief, Convicted Drug dealing money launderer, ,etc as a President.

According to you Salah is not exceptional. Finally he we have seen the reason he mentioned salah. Baba agenda Don cast. Besides hope you have congratulated osimhen?i haven't seen the post oo. Or is this one emotive bias?

Wow your so blinded with bias.

That doesn't change the fact that we didn't hear the question. U can't call the man a liar without evidence.

How can u say u don't think they would go about editing videos when the video in question was clearly edited?

Amunike going against Osimhen would be like Jobs going against the iPhone or Elon going against the tesla.

My post is simple and you should have understand it better.

I did that post to let people who always thinking that hardly you see Kokmne not rating English Nigeria born and some are indeed surprised.

I knew some here would have said is kog knew what he was saying “Kokmne didn’t rated Adarabioyo and Tomori” but fact you didn’t rated them but they came good.

Hope you get it Sir.

It's simplistic to display ignorance and present it as intelligence.

Simply put the best players end up in the best teams Ceteris paribus .

Therein lies the problem my dear, in reality, things are seldom always equal.

There will always be gray areas and exceptions.

Jamie Vardy played In the obscurity of lower English game till his late 20s but nobody can doubt is quality today.

AMUNEKE RESPONDS STRONGLY TO BARRAGE OF CRITICISMS ON CHOICE OF SALAH OVER OSIMHEN


“Good morning house, I want to use this opportunity to clear what some of you are saying in this platform. With all due respect to every one of you that I owe with high regard.

First of all, I want you to understand the rumours that you guys are [spreading] concerning me not voting Osimhen. I was never elected to vote.

On our way to the novelty game that we played in Marrakech here, a former player and captain of the Egyptian national team - who is preparing himself to become a TV producer in Egypt – with his group, he was debating on the Arabian team and he raised the question between Hakimi and Salah.

There was time Osimhen was mentioned in that discussion. He came to me and asked ‘Hakimi or Salah’. I have to say Salah. And the reason why I said Salah was because I played in Egypt and I lived in Egypt and I know some of the guys there.

So, there is nothing like voting against Osimhen. Osimhen is our player and our boy. We are happy about what he has achieved and we hope he would continue to dream and achieve more for the betterment of his career and the betterment of Nigeria.

It has come a time in our culture in Nigeria – with all due respect to you guys, we should stop spreading false news and stop creating false impression to the people. We are journalists and our responsibility is to inform the public what is right.”

Amuneke said on Nigerian Sports Village Square moderated by veteran journalist @osasuo.

But sir! we watch the video, if the debate was about hakimi and Salah then why did other people voted for osihmen, because about five people mentioned osihmen name. Believe it or not some of this past Nigeria footballers are something else.

We all saw how perpetual nkwocha voted against oshola when he was on the verge of equalling his record it's not a new thing. One thing I've come to realize is that the more people try to bring you down the more God keep taking you to a new height.

The man has explained what happened and instead of you to apologize you’re still asking what about others that predicted osimehn. Stubborn boy. Don’t you think that, he would be aware of a possible backlash if he doesn’t support his own? EWU. Nigerians are very uncouth

All that is left is for Victor Boniface to continuing scoring (and assisting), win the bundesliga, have a decent AFCON and we might have a good case for back to back APOTY.

Make una dey observe o... how goal post dey change once dem mention Nwa....somebody

JayromWrites:

He didn't deny mentioning Salah.

He said the journalist asked he chose between Hakimi or Salah and he said Salah.

I just hope he will be lucky, for the sake of the talents we have, as much as I want him gone after AFCON.

AndSunGorilla:

Yes o, lol.

But nna men, me I was still advocating for JP after the Saudi and Mozambique fiasco, but now my eye don clear!!!!!!!!
The rain is gone and I can see clearly, with JP as coach, I no expect anything!!!!!

lol. You go explain tire.

If he wins, then we aren't firing him, except if he decides to go for consistent pasture in terms of pay.

villagereporter:




Sir, the highlighted part is what I was expecting you to write upon, to shows the exceptionality of Salah for the period under review for APOTY

Well Salah is consistently consistent since his arrival back in the EPL with Liverpool.

He has never scored less than 19 goals in the EPL in a season , he is among that very elite group of players actually just 5 including Salah have scored 200+ goals for Liverpool.

If that's not exceptional what is.❓

They already have their striker and are not looking for another one!!

BascoVanVeli:



There are many reports out there linking Victor to real Madrid. How do u know they are not interested

I pray he goes regardless

AndSunGorilla:

He (Amuneke) was actually interviewed by Mimi on CAF platform with El Hadji Diouf and he said Osimhen. Why is that one not trending? Why trend only a snippet of a tiktok video?
What if he was asked to choose between Salah and Hakimi cos the interviewer wants fairness since he knows he will select Osimhen? Agend must agend!
This is why most Nigerians based their voting on emotions rather than deep thinking.
Believing someone can use fake certificate to work as an accountant for exxonmobil! lol

Joezinho:
lol. You go explain tire.

Hope you all now understand that CAF award is based on individual performance at a very high level not necessarily team performance. I don't want to come here next year explaining things all over again! Ciao!

Congrats Victor, Oshoala, Nnadozie and Super Falcons! Absolutely deserving!

My brother, don't waste your precious time arguing with Komekn!

So he was the only one asked a different question? Why were the others picking Osimhen?

I can't get the rationale behind him thinking Salah is going to win it when 80% of Africans including Egyptians knows it's btw Osimhen and Hakimi..

Trying to defend him makes it even funnier. Agenda must truly agend.

Meanwhile, this is sports section. I believe there’s a section for politics.
