I think it is disrespectful to call Tony Elumelu by his first name. At least say “Mr. Tony Elumelu”.
Regardless of whatever your company policy says, always respect your elders especially in a public event as this.
This is Africa, be African.
Again, is this a Christian football association?
Why is it always gospel songs for the national team.
And this is both male and female football team btw.
It’ll always be ridiculous to me.
This is a terrible take.
You'll happily kill our culture and heritage because of better opportunities.
There is nothing wrong in teaching them English and French, but they should learn their own languages. This way, they know their roots, they have an identity to be proud of.
Crazy thing is i have argued this with my own father a thousand times, they are always pissed my kids speak French and English but not igbo and my response is simple:
The world is progressing but Nigeria regresses on a daily, most people are running away from the country and 10 out of 10 times they will not use Igbo for anything in a white man’s land, speaking French and English or any globally recognised language will open far better doors for your kids than igbo or Yoruba will unless they have plans to become Igbo or Yoruba movies actors or artistry.
Now it doesn’t mean if i have the opportunity to teach them igbo i wouldn’t but i will prioritise a language that will help their lives in adulthood than anything else.
Me as an ijaw man having a conversation with my daughter in 2040
Daughter: Dad, why’s my brother’s name Lionel ? Is it because he’s brave ?
Me: MESSI-ere, I like the questions you always ask, the both of you are brave.
