Few days ago Nigerian footballer Osaze Odemwingie took to his Twitter
page to express his displeasure on how international footballers are
being maltreated by football administrators citing Taribo West, late
Rashidi Yekini and others as example.
Here is what Osaze tweeted. “Yekini, (may his soul RIP) our legend
died in poverty…Femi Opabunmi lost his sight and struggling to feed
now…T. West I heard not so comfortable and few others,” .
Coincidentally, Taribo West got a hold of the message in one of the
daily newspapers. He was forced to reply him in annoyance. ..continue to
see his reply
“It is embarrassing to read such comments about me in the newspapers.
The last time he probably saw me was in 2008, so what does he know about
me?
“Have I asked him for money before? God has been kind to me and my
ministry and I have not begged anybody for money. I am doing well; I am
not broke and never will be till Christ comes. In Christ, I have
everything, so I am not lacking. I think he has lost track and needs to
get himself together.
“He should shut up and focus on his career instead of insulting his
seniors all the time. He needs to respect his elders. His utterances
smacks of indiscipline and unprofessionalism. He should apologise to
everyone he’s been abusing on Twitter because if he continues like this,
he will not go far.”
“If he is fighting for ex-players, then that is not how to go about it.
He should come home and fight those who are not helping the
footballers.
“How many ex-footballers has he helped? How can he stay in England and
fight for a cause in Nigeria? He should join his seniors and fight for
their cause because his approach has no foundation,”.
