England and ‘it’s coming home hype’

-

The English fans could have intimidate­d Croatia with their ‘It’s coming home hype’ but they met a team that is focused on what they truly wanted and who knew clearly their strength. Even though the English team is called the Three Lions they met a team that has mastered how to sing for and tame the lion. Just like some Nigerians believed we were going to win the World Cup even when our preparatio­n and quality of players says otherwise English fans also believed it was their time to win the World Cup even when everything said otherwise. They still chose to believe and over hype their players or how do you explain a team that had Sterling putting on the traditiona­l number 1O jersey reserved for the most skillful players yet never attempted to play any set piece or do anything extra ordinary?

Praise Fowowe, praisefowo­we@gmail.com their present motivation­s were only energise by the present government efforts to get rid of corruption. President Muhammad Buhari has gored the ox of many political leaders forming some coalition toward making every aspect of governance difficult for the PMB administra­tion to fail. Some 39 political parties have come together to form a coalition with a bottled interest of wrestling away power from the APC. Nigerians are now wiser and should not be taken for a ride, what has happened has happened and the wounds inflicted on us by PDP misrule over the years cannot be deleted from our memories.
