Shameless hungry ex-internationals seek daily bread at Tinubu's doorsteps

 

Look at Aghahowa looking like a yahoo boy, foolish hungry lots. (Photo credit: One whatsapp group)

I’d finished posting my write up for yesterday before I saw a video of some ex-internationals that I once idolized, earning their brown envelopes in a supposed show of support for the presidential ambition of Bola Ahmed Tinubu…

Make no mistakes, I have absolutely nothing against Tinubu’s presidential bid. He is more than qualified to test his popularity up there and if he indeed decides to go all the way with this and wins the APC ticket, good luck to him, but the actions of those ex-players in the video I saw needs questioning.

As I have always posited, no one has to agree with my takes, that’s why there’s a comment section for you to bare your minds, I understand there’s a place of free will but the actions of those players spoke of hunger, not passion or anything else.

In case you haven’t seen it, former players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria went to Bourdillon to meet with Tinubu on the occasion of his 70th birthday, let’s pretend the “Jagaban Borgu” is truly 70, is football now a part of politics or what?

Two time African footballer of the year, Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Okocha, Victor Ikpeba, Ike Shorounmu, Mutiu Adepoju, Peter Rufai, Dosu Joseph, Tijani Babangida and Garuba Lawal were the ones I could figure out in the video and of course their prayer warrior, Taribo West.

Speaking of Taribo West, he was the one that led the prayer and was raining curses on anyone that doesn’t want Asiwaju’s mandate to stand, I’m kuku not one of them but you need to see his energy, we should not lie we should not steal, that energy can only be induced by hunger.

Let’s cut the crap, what was that nonsense for fuck sakes? They sat there looking like fools, endorsing their pockets and you wonder what happened to all the money they made as professionals, I can even understand for the likes of Dosu Joseph and Mutiu Adepoju, at least we don’t see much from them around, but what about the ones that have supposed top endorsements?

Okocha is on my screen everyday screaming “you know who I am” in the now boring and overplayed Bet King advert, many of the run punditry jobs for football tournaments and Kanu can’t tell us he’s broke or doesn’t he have the Sporty Bet money to spend?

Whatever you do in this life, have shame o because I can’t even put this down to anything else but gross sense of shamelessness, all of them took turns to grab the microphone to yarn dust, so in your heart of hearts, you support Tinubu’s mandate? Ah! God punish poverty.

Was that not how some celebrities carried Buhari on their head that year? Sheybi they’re the ones buying diesel for #800 now, o’npe for all of them but the thing touches me too in more ways than one, so it’s Tinubu we should vote for now, nonsense and ingredients.

The new week is upon us and I won’t let these idiots start it for me on a crappy note, I refuse to be angry. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit… We go again.

    Your take is quite erroneous and smacks of crass ignorance to put it mildly! The ex-players embarked on that visit as part of activities to mark Asiwaju's 70th birthday. Have you watched Kanu's video on the reason for the visit? He went ahead to declare in that video that Asiwaju was one of only 3 governors who supported his foundation with money when they needed funds. Let's leave all of these aside and assume that they went on that visit to endorse Asiwaju. What in God's name dictates that they cannot openly support Asiwaju's aspiration? Is Asiwaju not a citizen of Nigeria? Are the ex-internationals not Nigerians? Don't they have inalienable rights guaranteed under the constitution to associate freely? Why begrudge a man because he has an ambition? Why? The best you lots can do is to organize yourselves into a political party and present a candidate to slug it out against Asiwaju on election day. Stop demonizing Asiwaju and his supporters. Selah!

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
