Hi Dassyb blog readers, thank God its friday. Hope you have had a great week. The 2015 Glo-CAF Awards took place last night at the International Conference Center in Abuja Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been voted the CAF Footballer of the Year while Yaya Toure was named runners-up at the 2015 Glo-CAF Awards held Thursday night in Abuja, Nigeria. The Gabonese forward, who is enjoying the best moments of his career in Europe, has been very potent in front of goal. He is now the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 18 goals. He also scored once as Gabon exited the Orange AFCON 2015 at the group stage.
Despite missing out on some of the categories where it managed to get nominations, there was still something to cheer for Nigeria as Golden Eaglets striker, Victor Osimhen, was voted Youth Player of the Year.
