And you sef believe when Lookman dey among the nominees, seriously?

MightySparrow:
Sorry about it, next year, God's willing, you get it

Is Salah a joke to you

E pain am

MightySparrow:
Sorry about it, next year, God's willing, you get it

That means once God is Willing, even if he didn't deserve it, he would win

Caf just made sure you attend the event

ogaemma:
He is not the first to experience that.
CAF also made Okocha believed he won the award.
Okocha was nominated three times (1998, 2003 and 2004), but his best-ever finish was second place in 1998 and 2004, while he ended up in third place in 2003.
1998 was the most painful lost.
It was obvious Okocha won the award in 1998.

But on the case of Lookman, he won it on pure MERIT.
Try next time Mr. Hakimi.

Issa Hayatou of Cameroon played a lot of politics with CAF awards during his reign as CAF president when Okocha was at his peak.

Faber:
CAF knows what Nigerians are capable of...

That's why they respected themselves at the last minute and gave the award to the rightful owner

God bless you.

I told someone few days ago, France for no give Balon d'or to Rodri if Vinicius is Nigerian.

Globally, Nigerians make use of their
cyberspace population to make or mar things in their favour. The reason no country in this world can bully Nigeria online.

I remember when Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshi ganged up against Africa football fans...they started with "Africa experts". Omo, Nigerians bullied them to oblivion. The cyber war lasted over 5 months. Na that period I start to respect Nigeria cyber warriors.

How on earth did this mugu think he performed well more than lookman.

Abi na because he trended of been financially prudent with her partner then?

dawnomike:
Imagine how Lewandowski must have felt that year or how Xavi felt when he was deprived of the Balon 'd or.
[/BI believe Lukman deserved it!!!

believe also that Messi deserves it those times too

This mummy boy mumu really. If you check his head na alot of baby things full there. Imagine what you are saying to the public. They made you believe, you didn't believe that you won.

Xavi never deserve world best anytime. Stop deceiving yourself Ronaldo poops!

skywalker240:

Mustafa Hadji of the Atlas Lions of morroco, not El Hadji Diouf

Did you watch France 98 or even Afcon 98?

My apologies;you're very correct - truly,It was Mustafa Hadji of Morocco. Yes,I watched both France '98 and Afcon '98.

Sebocious:


Oga, the guy is very correct. Mustapha Hadji, won the APOTY in 1998..
George Weah? How.
Please, u are d one to check ur facts

Oga,yes,the guy is very correct and I've tendered my apologies to him. I goofed;I realized that. I hope this settles it now.

Blame Nigeria media for your loss.
Lookman deserves the award more than you.

God bless you.

When Buhari asked Twitter (X) to restrict some Nigerian accounts... Jack Dorsey then owner, refused...then Buhari banned Twitter (X) the ban lasted for some days and Nigerians hijacked UK and US twitter space. Nigerian news started trending at no 1 in these countries, worsening the case for Buhari, Malami and Lai Mohammed.. before they lifted the ban.

guy no kill me with laugh oo chai 🤣🤣🤣

How did CAF made Hakimi believed he won?
Did they, CAF communicated to him that he won? He should tell the world to expose CAF.
But if there's no proof, he should keep quiet and allow the CAF African footballer of the year, Ademola Lookman ensure his prestigious award that he surely deserved.
He's still the contender of the next one alongside Mo Salah

[quote author=ogaemma post=133396208]He is not the first to experience that.
CAF also made Okocha believed he won the award.

Try next time Mr.
It was only 1998 e came second,he came third 03 and 04

MightySparrow:
Sorry about it, next year, God's willing, you get it

Next year, God willing, Lookman or Osimhen gets it for the 2nd time. I'm all for Nigeria dominating Africa and the world. . .

Na this kind mentality dey make us relax once we score a goal, till our opponents equalize and defeat us. If possible, the next 3 CAF POTY should be won by Nigeria.

Look Lookman beat you in every aspect in football

MightySparrow:
Sorry about it, next year, God's willing, you get it

If he is consistent

Faber:
CAF knows what Nigerians are capable of...

That's why they respected themselves at the last minute and gave the award to the rightful owner

They followed the votes...that's all. Didn't Mikel lose to Yaya Touré here in Nigeria

Nonybb:
That is how they made Okocha believed he won over Eto'o too in Nigeria 🤣

That was more controversial cos okocha won the BBC version of the award

Na so dem do for Vini. Take am like that Hakimi.

But why would Hakimi even have the confidence to win with all the success Ademola enjoyed for club and country?

TOPCRUISE:
Come 2025 lookman still currently stands as a favourite. Unless Brahim Diaz, Sallah and Guirassy pull out something spectacular

Salah only need to win the EPL
He don win straight

Cus as it stands… his very consistent

MightySparrow:
Sorry about it, next year, God's willing, you get it

Next year is for lookman again

Hakim was given a fake news. Always good to wait till the last moment. Those who wanted the result swindled in his favor responsible for the fake news.

Theif go carry am na.

Hakimi don't be offended, the snatched it and run runs in their Ewedu blood

Hakimi, I can understand if Salah is upset, but not you bro. Come on

If Lukman continues in this fine form then he will win it again Next year. Hakimi should look towards 2026
