Mikel excited to be nominated for African Player of The Year Award Biyi Akangbe Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel is proud to be nominated alongside two other Nigerians, Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho on the 2016 African Player of the Year nomination list. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the weekend released a 30-man nomination list for this year’s award, which has continue to generate reactions from stakeholders of the game. The Chelsea midfielder took to his twitter handle to express his feelings about the nomination. “Proud for Nigeria to be nominated for @CAF_Online African Footballer of the Year along with @67Kelechi and @7Myca,” Mikel wrote on twitter. 29-year-old Mikel inspired Nigeria to win bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Nigeria’s vice-captain; Ahmed Musa made impact with CSKA Moscow as they emerged Russian champions, before his big-money move to Leicester City. The third Nigerian on the list, Kelechi Iheanacho shone like a star in his debut Premier League season with Manchester City, and has also proved himself under new manager, Pep Guardiola in the current season. One of the favourites for the award is current holder, Pierre Emerick Aubemeyang of Gabon and Borussia Dortmund. Others are Algerian playmaker Riyad Mahrez, who was voted the best player of the last Premier League season by his fellow professionals among others. In all, three Algerians were nominated, just like Nigeria; Cote d’Ivoire is the other country with three nominees on the list. www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/10/mikel-excited-to-be-nominated-for.html 1 Like 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: 25 Starts, Seven goals as a top Striker and we can not hear word on this Solanke. As I said before, I wish him the best but I can not argue bench material at Chelsea is better than a player starting games for Manchester City. Especially after City spanked Chelsea repeatedly. |

terzurum5: Please, NFF members, face your work and do not interfere with Rohr's plans. I thought you guys defined no interference to us when you ran to FIFA many times. Do not let me pick up plank. |

Imagine Sir... 25 starts, 7goals for Vitesse Arnhem Tammy Abraham even have better stats at Bristol City in the English championship. He's asking how many goals Nacho and Success scored for the youth sides of Man City and Granada... BUT I ASK, HOW MANY GAMES DEM PLAY SEF?? Loooollllll Nacho played about 11 or 12 youth games and produced 8 goals and several assists. His last youth game, he provided two assists in man city's EDS 3-1 win and that was under pellegrini last season as Pelle was "annoyingly" slowly introducing him into the first team. Success was on goals riot when featuring for Granada B, at a time, his goals ratio was 8goals in 8games... So wetin this "SOLANKE FAN BOY" DEY TALK SEF?? TheGoodJoe: 2 Likes |

Plsss contact Yara Yara for your "super plank" wants... He's also into "brain-resetting" planks sales. A section of my labs have produced planks that send signals to the dentata hippocampi, prefrontal cortex, the limbic system and a few other brain areas...... To reset moods and memories and make "right decision-making" easy..... I call it, "the Plank-neourolyser" We also have plank-deneurolysers... TheGoodJoe: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bundle of Skills- Christian Obodo Ecuador- Kingsley Amuneke Wowo-Ugochukwu Chukwunyere Robo Cub-Rabiu Afolabi Little Messi - Stanley Okoro Mosquito-Ikechukwu Ibenegbu Investment-Benjamin Chukwuka Onwuachi Somebody used to bare Shagari as nickname. Forgotten who. Larry Echiele of Brila sport promoted most of these names. I recall things like *in larry's voice* "The Attacker called Utaka!", "Dodooomayanaaa!", "The pastor called Taribo West!". "The weapon of mass destruction, obagooaal!". Bimbo Adeola aslo spoke like Larry. Hmmm Glory days of Nigerian football. When i would wait to listen to bournvita sports special on OGBC2, with Larry Echiejile, 7:45 - 8:00am, before going for lectures. Then he had not started brila radio. |
