Soccer Madness

A mild drama played itself out yesterday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, venue of the maiden edition of the Federation Cup final between Enyimba International of Aba and Sharks of Port Harcourt.

•A ‘crazy’ Eyimba fan that stripped himself yesterday after the Federation Cup final at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos. Eyimba defeated Sharks by a lone goal. PHOTO: IDOWU OGUNLEYE.

A fan of the People’s Elephant, as Enyimba are fondly called, stripped himself to his pants and dashed into the pitch at the end of the encounter, which saw his team lifting the maiden edition of the rechristened FA Cup on an away soil.

Immediately Enyimba got the curtain raiser, the crazy fan removed his shirt and trousers leaving only his pants and was about running into the field of play, but was denied access by the security operatives.

He had to go back to the stands where he had fun moving around in his pants.

However, five minutes to the end of the encounter; sensing that the security operatives had lost interest in him, he removed his pants and ran straight into the field of play stark naked.

Some members of the Boys Scout tried to catch up with him but he overpowered them. He was later arrested by security operatives who covered him with a black cardigan, before leading him back to the stands, where he continued to dance.

When asked of his name, he said, ‘just call me Enyimba.’’

Asked why he stripped himself, he retorted: ‘How best can I express my joy? My darling team has won the Federation Cup, so I have to do it.’’

    He looks like one of the Ogun state lawmakers. But on a closer look, he resembles governor gbenga daniels but this could only be confirmed if his dick was shown since governor daniels has a black mole on the left hand side of his dick.

    Disappointed though not surprised, that is to show you the level of shamelessness ,indecencies that goes on in our societies especially that part of Nigeria ABA and Abia state in general where there is a brazen disregard and disrespect to constituted authorities both religious and state laws,or how else can you describe a situation where conductors (motor touts) just stripe themselves naked and mounts at the back of a girl ,a commuter for that matter for the sake of a purported N10 difference in fare charges. this barbarian and Neolithic act is been supported by his barbaric driver who is also ready to die naked for the same reason and the sake security agencies are closing their eye to this evil. just last Friday afternoon in the city of ABA a young man stripped naked and was dancing a top on going vehicle as they were conveying a dead corpse home for burial and there were lots of women (young girls and old women )inside the bus and they could not stop this godless conduct. Again in Aba where the government of Abia state has banned Okada ridding the police has taken over the ridding of okada for the sake that they are protected “against” the law. an example is a police officer (amputee) in Aba this morning was still using his only remaining hand to ride okada along the famous ABA owerri road for what ever reason he knows .Time has come that we no longer condone this act of lawlessness in Abia state .God’s own State.

    The boy should be examined if he is medically alright, but on the other hand Eyinba football Club must compensate him for his loyalty and promotion of his their club to the whole world.

    14 July 2009 16:50

    This is madness of the highest order! How can he as a normal person love the club more than the players who earn their millions in the process of playing for the club? These are people who will never involve themselves in such bestiality in even if they win the most glamorous trophy in world football. This guy should have his head examined, or what does some one like him want to teach his children if he has any.
