After two hours of fun and excitement from musical artiste and breath-taking dancers ushered in by Flavour, Lagbaja and co., the African Player of the Year was finally announced. Yaya Toure of Cote D'Ivoire and Manchester City FC, wins the award for the fourth consecutive time, equaling the record of Samuel Eto’o Fils of Cameroon. Furthermore, he just broke the record of being the first player to win the award four times consecutively. Although Samuel Eto'o won it four times, only three of his award came in consecutive time while the fourth came after some years.
Though the Nigerians expected their national team captain, Vincent Enyeama to bring home the award to break the 16 years jinx and which never happened, yet it wasn’t really a bad night for Nigerian Football as Nigerian female footballer Asisat oshoala won the African Women Player of the Year Award. The prolific midfielder also double as the Youth Player of the Year in Africa.
