VICTOR MOSES AND MIKEL OBI WIN NIGERIAN AWARDS

Victor Moses has been named Nigerian Footballer
of the Year and John Mikel Obi has been given the
Sports Man of the Year award at the Nigerian Sports
Awards.
Both were part of the team that won the Africa Cup of
Nations for their country for the first time since 1994
back in February, and have since been part of a
successful qualification campaign for the World Cup.
Mikel competed in the Confederations Cup in the
summer, while Moses missed out through injury.
Moses, currently on loan at Liverpool, scored two vital
goals in the group stage at the Africa Cup of Nations
and netted earlier this month as Nigeria booked their
place in Brazil. Mikel, as one of the senior players in
a young Nigeria side, was ever-present in the Cup of
Nations and Confederations Cup campaigns, and was
one of the three nominees for the Nigerian Footballer
of the Year.
After winning his accolade, Moses said: 'Proud and
honoured to win the Nigerian Footballer of the Year
award for 2013. Is a dream come true to play for my
country so thank you everyone.'
