African Footballer Of The Year Award - Mikel & Iheanacho Out Of List by bumi10(m): 2:55pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
This is a very bad news to Nigeria and the NFA as a whole. Nigeria no longer have representation in the run for the CAF African Player of the Year Award. The country's best shots, John Mikel Obi and Kelechi Iheanacho are missing in the latest five-man shortlist released by CAF on Tuesday having initially made the previous 30-man list that also had another Nigerian, Ahmed Musa included. It is almost two decades a Nigerian has been voted as the continent's best and it is now certain to extend into 2017. Below is the five-man shortlist for the African Player of the Year: 1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon & Borrusia Dortmund) 2. Riyad Mahrez (Algeria & Leicester City) 3. Sadio Mane (Senegal & Liverpool) 4. Mohamed Salah (Egypt & Roma) 5. Islam Slimani (Algeria & Leicester City) For the African Player of the Year (Based in Africa), the top five are; 1. Khama Billiat (Mamelodi Sundowns & Zimbabwe) 2. Keegan Dolly (Mamelodi Sundowns & South Africa) 3. Rainford Kalaba (TP Mazembe & Zambia) 4. Hlompho Kekana (Mamelodi Sundowns & South Africa) 5. Denis Onyango (Mamelodi Sundowns & Uganda) As stated by CAF, for the final phase, votes from the Head Coaches/Technical Directors of the 54 National Associations affiliated to CAF plus Associate Members, Reunion Island and Zanzibar, together with the other half of the 20-member Panel of Experts (10 persons) will be counted towards the determination of the eventual winners. The 2016 Glo-CAF Awards Gala sponsored by telecommunication giants, Globacom, will be held on Thursday, 5 January 2017 in Abuja, Nigeria. Could it get more worst for Nigeria ![]() http://www.exlinklodge.com/2016/11/breaking-african-footballer-of-year.html 3 Likes 1 Share

Let's be honest about it, they were never in a position to win it in the first place. The likes of Victor Moses and probably Iheanacho may be in the top five in Africa by next year if they can continue with their present form. And op I don't think I've heard any grammar like 'more worst' 45 Likes 2 Shares |

I won't blame CAF , after all our USELESS MINSTER said there was no need qualifying for the WORLD CUP, since we can't win it. What a shame and derogation 6 Likes |

This people are just cheating us anyhow. Iheanacho is as good as any of these 5 players,if not better. Mikel is already a legend.........so what is their excuse?? 1 Like 1 Share |

Fair list. I wasn't expecting to see any Nigerian player name there. The above listed players on the list are better by far than any Niegrian player in the year under review. Thank you. |

Victor Moses will contend next year if he keeps his present form for club and country.' The five man list is still the best in African playing in Europe. Mahrez will not be on the list next year, I can bet that. They guy dropped the form that put him on this list this season. 1 Like |
