Well no problem. When the deadline for voting elapses, I can collate it with the program, while the rest of the committee double check. to avoid INEC things.

Danielnino00:


The problem here is that Im not sure if Nairalanders will be so willing to click on a link that redirects them to another site to vote. i mean, if the voting is to take place on another site, then it is technically no longer a nairaland award.

I agree with you on that. The LA click la bend crew . Cos a lot of times external links are looked at suspiciously. By the way am trying to double check too. If coming closes 11:59pm tomorrow, when is results collation expected to end and winner announced?

Im thinking we should have it all collated by January 2nd and announce a winner by January 3rd

Danielnino00:

Agreed.

You know others could collate only specific categories just to the accuracy of the program.

Danielnino00:

I could share the results by tomorrow AM. Then we take our time to it by January 2nd

NOTE:
1. ONE invalid entry by a moniker. The invalid entry was the moniker who entered just numbers as their choices without specifying the categories. Since the moniker only made 13 votes instead of 15, there was no way to make anything out from their choices

2. A couple other monikers did not make their choices for ALL 15 categories. But ONLY their votes for the specified categories were entered anyway.

3. There were a couple monikers who quoted other's choices but did not make their own entries. These monikers really threw me off while feeding data into the program

I think most of the winners won by a wide margin. For those categories with close margins, we will need to do some comparisons and make sure we got it right.

Thanks my oga!!!! I think we were quite close with our tallies ( just off by a few in some categories) and more importantly we arrived at the same winners. To your point, we can look at those ones that were close, not too many though. Thanks again.

1. Young player of the year
2. Assist of the year
3. Defender of the year

If other committee can tally the above categories to avoid too much work.

Having compared the results, its clear that they are all more or less the same, with a few differences here and there but good margin of victory for the winners.
I think part of the errors is from how some monikers voted, as Joebie and Andsungorilla already pointed out.
Perhaps, in the future we will consider an alternative method of voting.


Are we good to go, or is there anything else anyone wish to add?

Thank you everyone...
So, straight to business...

The first thing is for us to select the nomination categories for the award.

Here is the list from last year's award.

Everyone should please go through it and let us know if its okay as it is or there is any category they wish to include or remove.


1. Nigerian player of the year
2. Nigerian female player of the year
3. NPFL player of the year
4. Most impactful new inclusion (2023)
5. Best Ogedengbe goalkeeper of the year
6. Stephen Keshi defender of the year
7. Samuel Okwaraji midfielder of the year
8. Rasheed Yekini attacker of the year
9. Most improved player (2023)
10. Young player of the year (U-21)
11. Super eagles goal of the year
12. Best assist of the year
13. Team of the year (club or national)
14. Coach of the year
15. Prospect of the year

I like the look of the categories.

For clarification numbers 4 and 9 are we referring strictly to performances in the Super Eagles for 2023 or 2024?

For a new category we can add best young female footballer of the year (2024) but I won't lie I don't follow the female side of the game that deeply to know many aspiring young lady footballers who could make the list of nominees.

I just copied the award categories from last year, that's why 2023 is showing on both categories .. once we are set, it will be changed to 2024.

Your suggestion for young female player of the year is good... I like it... We can look at the performance of our falconers and flamingoes this year and select some talented players...
