John Ogu and other Nigerian fans on Twitter has stated that Wilfred Ndidi deserved to make the 2018 Africa Best XI. No Nigerian player was included in the African team of the year and Ogu was not impressed with the selection.
No Super Eagles player made the Team of the Year despite their participation at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Hapoel Be'er ShevaHapoel Be'er Sheva star player took to his official Twitter account to criticise the list by the star player took to his official Twitter account to criticise the list by the Confederation of African FootballConfederation of African Football (CAF).
Let’s put sentiment aside , I can argue this anywhere that @Ndidi25 ,@WTroostEkong ,even @ighalojude all should be there . Award is based on your performance for club and country and not how big of a club you play in. Ndidi plays for arguably the best league in the world— John Ogu (@ogujohnugo) 8 January 2019
Ndidi should be there ahead of Partey anytime anyday!!— Buchi Laba Laba 🦋🦋🦋 (@Buchi_smallzy) 8 January 2019
Ndidi doesn't make the cut for the team of the year? I am not feeling this #CAFAwards18 at all— Tunde GCFR 👑👑 (@Koboko_GCFR) 8 January 2019

How someone comes up here and say clubs they play matters . Like are you kidding me?Ekong, Ndidi had a better season for their clubs,Made it to the World Cup . Had a decent performance at the World Cup and you say clubs they play in?Aurier , Bailly,Keita all didn’t make it— John Ogu (@ogujohnugo) 8 January 2019
Apparently the biggest scam this month is this 11. Wilfred Ndidi who is basically the top 5 best DMs in the WORLD based on stats is not in this list. Backward African. pic.twitter.com/pCCZY5IGHe— #TheBUSINESSExpert #LetTheSwayBeWithYou🇳🇬🇬🇧 (@Kris_Sway) 9 January 2019
Ndidi had a good season for Leicester city in 2017/2018 season, he was one of the best African player at the World Cup, but he was omitted at the CAF team of the year, but Aurier, Bailly, Keita & some otu made the team. What was the criteria used in picking the team? #CAFAwards18— AJALA (@UNCLE_AJALA) 8 January 2019
They have been cheating Nigerian Players from time immemorial from Jay Jay Okocha and the rest, now Wilfred Ndidi. Africa Awards is shitty biased. I see no reason why Ndidi shouldn’t make this list. He is arguably the best holding midfielder in Africa right now. #CAFAwards18 pic.twitter.com/fOLmWJPtVz— S.F. Adebayo 🇳🇬 (@Sam_Debayo) 8 January 2019
