Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu has criticised the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after Nigeria missed out on Africa Best XI for 2018.

Yesterday, the African team of the year was unveiled and no single Nigerian player was included.

Ogu who plays for Hapoel Be’er Sheva in Israel took to his official Twitter to criticise the list in a series of tweets and insisted that his teammates Wilfred Ndidi who plays for Leicester City and William Troost-Ekong who plays for Udinese should have been on the list.

I agree with him.....Stupid CAF officials must have judged this based on Club level


NDIDI plays better than THOMAS PARTEY

That is true ndidi is better in that position that partey

What happened to Ogu himself?

Ndidi ought to be there...but partey plays in a better club...so they fielded him instead of ndidi

Buhari what have you done?

Bro, partey is more of a good er dan Ndidi. He’s one of the underrated player in Africa.

Mahrez and Keita shouldn’t av made d list ahead of Ndidi

Ok

because dey ain't good enof na.... If dey were... Dey surely would be involved

Sorry to say but he didn’t act like a professional sport person

Atiku react...

Even Ndidi no dey dia self caf and Euefa Dem Be the same thing

true talk but our country voicelessness is affection us globally too no force no voice....

He should go and sleep somewhere jare, is it the once that are playing for money in China or the once warming benches in England. Who among the players on that list shouldn’t be there bros Ogu?

Make Ndidi get ndidi till next year..

How should a professional sport person act? He said it's his own opinion.

No Nigerian player has been impressive in the last 3years. CAF made the right call. John Ogu is entitled to his opinion but it's insignificant.

Nigerians with entitled mindset still thinks the world is waiting for them. Hell No! You must earn every respect and accolades.

Me too am not satisfied

Bailey,Aureri,MahrezNo Ndidi??lol. This guys are jokers.People wey no go WC wey dey play averagely for club side.Bunch of European ass lickers

First comment wey ogu don do wey make sense

Well..

Check my signature
100% legit

Bailey haven’t even played games this season for ManU
Troost-Ekong had a great season in Turkey, big World Cup and doing amazingly well with Udinese to end a perfect 2018. So why Bailey over him?


Neither Partey nor Keita has seen more actions and more decisive for their respective clubs as Ndidi

Shame on Caf

I think Amaju Picknic is there, let the blame be for him not CAF because he's there to protect the interest of Nigeria and Nigerian players not his own interests alone.


Mcheeeew..

Ndidi plays in a club that, two seasons ago, won the EPL.
Ndidi's stats are better than Kante and Torriera.
What is more better than that in comparison to the DM CAF nominated?

Hm

Pamtoye:
because dey ain't good enog na.... If dey were... Dey surely would be involved

. So Ndidi isn't good abi?

That injury prone keita, how many matches sis he play for Liverpool self?

The lesson there is that Nigerian players need to start playing for top clubs.
All these Turkish, Bulgarian, Mid table nonsense is not enough.

CAF is not that sophisticated.

A servant in the city is better than a king in the village according to caf.

Nigerian players that dominated at one point in time played for top clubs.

He should be in tht Partey's position

I agree intoto with John Ogu. I have already criticized the entire CAF selections, myself, on twitter yesterday.

Wilfred Ndidi should make that list. He's better than both Patey and Keita. Ekong also is better than Bailley, so he not making the list doesn't make sense either. But, hey, that's CAF for you ... they never fail to disappoint.

In addition, Fancesca Odega ought to be crowned the AFPOY. She won the Women's AFCON, the South African lady didn't win nada. Finally, a case could be made that Sadio Mane deserves the APOY more than Salah. Mane had a better World Cup and he's having a better season so far. Football isn't only about goals


O pari

thats true but as for Ekong, I doubt
