A Closer and Factual look at ANAMBARA FOOTBALL by Last Born Mpa Nnukwu.
Yesterday after I wrote to Gov Akpokue over the letter of Non election matters in the state as written by the SSG, then I brought out my NCHOROKOTO to divine on why, Anambara Football election should be singled out.
This is the Link to the Report.... https://penofgods.com/reporting-to-gov-obiano-on-igharmigha-that-is-going-on-by-sagg/
Then I discovered that Anambara NFF election were supposed to be held on Monday at Okpuno OKA and I was like Anambara onwedulu FA?..
They seems to be too silent like the Gofment in power in the state, unless Snail speed is a communicable effect within the Gofment and it arms.
Then I decided to look closer to the game that I loved, I remember the days we play Football with passion, the days we go all the way to watch Rangers terrify IICC Shooting Stars of Ibadan ,Ranchers Bees of Kaduna , Stationery Stores the Omonile Team of Lagos, Racca Rovers of Calabar, Bendel Insurance, Kano Pillars, Abiola Babes of Abeokuta..
Later as years go by, We also watched Enyimba FC of Aba bash other clubs, Vasco Dagama of Enugwu doing the thrill, that was when we have the spirit of Nzogbu Nzogbu, when any South East Football clubs goes to play in any state outside East, markets of Ndigbo will close, so our brothers will go and chant Nzogbu Nzogbu with Joy and absolute oneness, but after some time, the invasion of PREMIER League and European league took away our passion, love and support.
Now none of us can tell you Teams that are in Any Division of our Football, none can name the players in any Football club in Nigeria, or even in South East, but we can give you all the players in reserve bench of any club in Europe, emesia asi na Government are not caring, are we caring even on our own level?.
We have all our hands in the demise of our Football, though I won't exonerate the State or the FA, but I don't expect much from the Government, after all in some neck of wood in our state they don't play Football, like we do when Trees were the Path OSA the Squirrel thread.
We play Football during December Festivities while they play Agiri and have orgy with different Local Gin, but I digress, let me come back to issue on the Table.
So I started making meaningful calls on who and who is prepped to guide our Football or restore the glory..
I discovered that, it was Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah who has been shouldering the FA for over 4 years, and he has done so with personal fund and commitment..
Then he was elevated to a more time demanding position, he is now a Serving Senator of the Federal Republic, which without gain saying, onwerozi ife Oji ordinary Chairman of Football eme, Infact to even propagate him for such is what I can consider subtle insult, as he is busy dealing on National issues and matters affecting his Zone.
Unless after his tenure as Senator, he can take National Positions and not Local one, odabu akacha, akagwalu.
He is now a Senator and Gubernatorial Candidate of a Party, he can't mix them up with all this, I know he can't buru Ozu Enyi na isi, welu Ukwu akpa Mbuzu.. But ka anyi na eje godi .. Less I forget - those promoting such thought or singing that Lullaby should know that Senator Ubah has passed that level and ahead he is going not backward..
He have served on that Level and moved on, so the need to look for a candidate who know his onus and have interest in Football suffice, also the person must be a participant and not observer ji onu etinye Azu na Ofe.
Most people that are supposed to take the position are not interested, even those who have played active football, not like me, who played "I challenge you take one post", played over the Bar, played High Goal, a great Goal Keeper like me, such as anytime we got beaten by a team, I will cry that they used Juju to score me, that I only saw Ogbe akwu or Spear coming and I dodge, instead to tell the truth that the Shot was invisible, anyway.. Moving on..
Then UKPANA CHI UMU of NDIDA whispered to me, that there is one American trained Medical Doctor from Adazi who came back to Anambara and started Grassroot restoration of the Round object game.
A Son of a Transport Magnate, though he refused to join the already made fortune of his Father, he decided to carve a niche for himself.
Despite the fact that he has done extremely well in his chosen profession, but his passion for taking our Youths who plays good Football to lofty height pushed him to invest in Football from the Grassroot,one of the Men I interviewed about it said he has ARSENAL FC OF ALAIGBO(Arsenal FC is the only Club that take raw talents and made them Great players, so that others clubs can buy them as players, they do the refining of the Gold, while others wear the Gold).
My investigation revealed, not only he have passion, but he has what it takes to turn around story of dwindled Football in Nigeria, which if you ask me, I would've suggested he heads NFA, but since he decided to start from Grassroot to create a Legend, especially now that Senator Ubah has ascended to Higher height and also will be gunning for Governor of the state, which means he won't have the time to manage Football or such offices, he has a handful...
What should be given to Senator Ubah automatically is Nnukwu Patron, so he can bring his influence to bear, also Ndi Anambara that wrote thier names in annals of our Football, people like BUZUZU(The Secretary or Rangers when Rangers was the toast of Ndi Igbo, player, football encyclopedia).
VALENTINE OZIGBO (He brought back innovation to street football, he has taken football and others sports to higher ground on National level even across Africa) ,
Hon Lynda Ikpeazu(the only woman from our state who has invested heavily and hosting tournaments not for political reason but for growth of sports in Anambra state)
All the EX Rangers players when Rangers was the Mandate of South East, all should be inculcated into our Football restoration Board, either as members or Patrons..
The Young man I am talking about, started restoration of Football by forming https://aspirefcng.com/.
A local Football Club that started in 2018 and lifted the FA CUP same year..
The players he nurtured has been toast of foreign clubs, many have left for greener football overseas and representing well.
That passion is what should take Anambara Football to the next level, I don't care if he still want to hid in Adazi Ani not wanting to be exposed, so he can't benefit the state and Nigeria, I will simply ask the Government to give about 1 or 2 Months for the Election, so that the state will get the Best for the FA, we must get it right again.
I will despatch a team to interview this Man, Dr Emeka Okeke, the Son of GUO MOTORS and see if he can consent to take over the Football house , and his ideas on how to liberate our Football shall be discussed, his Club is known as aspire football but my mission is to make him Inspire our state Football.
If he refuse, I will simply report him to Mpa Nnukwu and those From Adazi, Ma Nke Ani, Nke Enu and Nke Nnukwu should inform him that I am LAST BORN MPA NNUKWU and I represent Mpa Nnukwu as he made me Mkpisi Ndi Egede here on Earth.
This is Mazi Odera POg JP polishing his Boot to head to Ifeanyi Uba stadium to go and play BALL YOU (Children.. Ball You is for expirince players of my Generation, it is a matured play, if you are the owner of the ball used to play, any Goal scored against you is either High Goal or over stone or too much Shot.
If you are the owner and somebody dribble you, the person should be changed or you take your ball and leave.
If anybody walk along the street where the Ball is being played and the owners side was to be scored against, He will shout.. A FISH IN THE LAWN.. and the Ball stopped, then He will be called to do deaden ball..)
Anyway, let me go, Oge adirozi.. Let's sing as we Jog.. ENYE Ndi ebea, enye Ndi ebea, enye Ndi ebea, enye Ndi ebea..
