Okoronkwo angry to miss out on CAF Award

Nigerian footballer Chisom Okoronkwo has expressed disappointment after failing to secure a spot in the latest CAF (Confederation of African Football) award nominations. The forward, known for his impressive performances in domestic and international competitions, revealed his frustration on social media, emphasizing that he felt his hard work deserved recognition.

Okoronkwo stated that while awards are not everything, being overlooked despite consistent performances is disheartening. He encouraged himself and fellow players to continue striving for excellence, regardless of external recognition.

Fans and sports analysts have weighed in on the situation, with some agreeing that Okoronkwo’s performances warranted at least a nomination. Others suggested that stiff competition and the large pool of talented African players made it difficult for everyone to be recognized.
