He didn't voluntarily exit the race, please.
He was humiliated in the primaries.
Rodney has been an unpopular MP in Livingstone almost his entire term. Had he recontested the seat, he would have lost terribly. As will more of HH's Minister MPs.
Is this what he desires anyway?
I know we all laugh, but I donโt blame Semenyo for not looking so flashy.
He never went to a traditional football academy just so you know. So he didnโt learn all those academy stuff..control-pass-shoot, all those kinda things.
After secondary school, he went to college in Bristol. The college had a very good football team, and thatโs probably why he went to that specific one. Bro left home at 16.
In England, thereโs something called DIG, where boys can live with a family that is not their immediate family, away from home. The family will kinda adopt you, and give you a place to stay, treat you like their own, while you go to college, study and do sports also. So, Semenyo was staying with this family in Bristol while going to college.
Donโt also forget that, Semenyo failed trials at Palace, Southampton, Millwall, and some other academies, hence, he decided to study for a BTEC in Sports Science. Remember I always say you must have an option as a footballer, get some education if possible.
The crazy part about his college boys was that, they were very good. They would play friendly games against real football academies and beat them.
The turning point came when his college played against Bristol City academy, and he was spotted. They invited him and the rest in history.
In that set, only Semenyo went on to become a pro footballer from the college.
In his secondary school days, where he failed several trials, a lot of his classmates were actually in academies, but only one went on to become a pro, he plays in Stockport, his name is Tanto Olaofe.
Football hardโฆwe can drag Semenyo for his recent inconsistencies, but we should give him credit because getting to this level is a crazy feat entirely.
Not to sound delusional, but please pray for grace. Life isn't really about hard work. It's more about meeting the right people, grace, mercy, and favour.
@LankyObserver@Subiilo He built this Hospital around the area his motorcade and that of ECL had that infamous road incident that led to the treason charge
