Have they not been saying it

NIGERIA HATES ANYTHING IGBO
That's why Nigeria didn't vote for him

No be me talk am ooo ..... Na wetin I dey hear igbos say everywhere


One igbo dude even said Nigeria is afraid that if Osimhen wins BalloD'or he will grant them Biafra that's why they didn't vote for him

Once more ....no be me talk am o

Shame

Because he doesn't deserve to win it.

They voted for whom they feel deserved to win, without sentiments.

That's fairness 💯

That's was for the final round of voting and Osimhen shouldn't be on the list

Kingray10:
This is a disgrace to Nigeria...
Spit....

Nigeria is a disgrace as well.

The vote was for world best and not country side best, or continental best.

We attach emotions to many things in Nigeria and Africa. Loyalty at times is different from reality. Those who understand the game of football very well know that Messi is the best ever.

Balon d or the award get as e be something that is voted by jounerlist how e go take make sense

I agree with you 💯

Franzinni:
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

Using someone as a stepping stool is one of the features of crab mentality.

Africans are naturally inferior to other races except for those who embraced knowledge of self. I would have voted for victor or mbappe.

Resetinc:
It’s not your general election where tribalism, religious & ethic bigotry determine who gets your vote … 😂

But you won't type this if he was igbo guy.

Hupocrite

If Osimhen played for the UK, with his accomplishments last season, the story will be told how he is greater than Maradona. Even when Messi didn’t make the podium, Argentina understood.

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

But you voted obi out emotions, sentiment, ethnicity and religion.

Objectivity wound una dere

The major reason why many tapnaldo fans are still finding it difficult to recognize messi as the best player ever is their loyalty to Tapnaldo. When u have a strong or uptight or blind loyalty like that, u will find it hard to see other things clearly. That is the kind of blind loyalty some Nigerians are expecting from that Nigerian journalist that voted for messi.



Tapnaldo fans will not even bother to watch Messi matches except they feel Messi has a chance of losing. E.g. the way they rallied round France and mbappe on December 18, 2022.

Bloody Muslim hypocrite

People still carry their nepotism to the world stage by saying no African nation voted Osimen. Osimen was never a competing player where Messi, Mbappe and Haaland fixture. I don't see any ill feeling at all.

Was Osimhen in top 3?

Those votes were for the guys in top 3.

Atleast Cameroon voted for mbape. Nigerians and corruption I swear I don't know who go separate that marriage.
Please who represented Nigeria in this voting, let us know his name for future consideration.
This is the same way they collected Dollars in Abuja and voted for the wrong human being.

Messi is a messi and the messi is a G.O.A.T

Please I want to know who represented Nigeria.

Can you hear ur self. Argentina voted Messi while Norway voted haaland, Cameroon vote their own. I rest my case

FreeStuffsNG:
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!

Oga stop capping trash. The Balon d'or organizers selected journalists that re competent and objective to take part of the voting process. They didn't select people who will want to vote along religious or ethnic line. The Journalists voted for the person they feel deserves the award. The Balon d'or voting is meant for people wit sense. Not for people like u that supports terrorist Hamas because ur a Muslim and will support APC even wen they re messing up, and will support a presidential candidate because his a Yoruba Muslim like u. No b ur type them dey select. So rest.

Are u not sacrificing ur time and efforts to honour Nigeria? Praise urself. When osihmen was using useless bicycle kick to do unwarranted skills in the world cup qualifying play off match against Ghana that eventually Nigeria crashed out, did he apologize to any Nigerians for breaking their hearts that night?


Sentiment or loyalty is different from reality or objectivity.

So?!!! They should leave those they love and believe should win and vote someone else out of nationality?! For wetin?!!


This is such a backward reasoning.

What would the voter even gain from anyone winning even if he is from the same country?!

Jonathan stole the votes!

Babangidapikin:
That shows fairness

you called it fairness? Are you normal?
Tell me how you will feel if the country you sweat for did not recognize you. Cameroon proudly voted for Mbape even when he is not even playing for them. I will not blame people like Saka for refusing to play for Nigeria.
Nigeria my country!!!

Babangidapikin:
That shows fairness

Fairness from where?

Like them like Buhari...

They voted for others against their people. Inferiority complex!!!

The names of Nigerian reps for the ballon d'or should be published let's greet them here.

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

That’s not the point is it? Check how they voted in France , Argentina and Norway. Argentina did not even mention the Mpappe and Haarland at all.

I would not have voted Osimhen.
Everything no be racism..

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

must he win? Atleast show him that you are with him. Cameroon voted for Mbape, what stops Nigeria from voting for Osimhen?
Let the guy know that his country is proud of him.
