Which one be Serge or is it seargeant? And which one be “popularfamous”? We dey for the same FM, so?
FM? Wetin concern radio for this? Abi wetin you dey talk? What is that mean?
It mean say “are we two both of us dey for the same frequency”? Whether modulated or ordinary frequency. Or make I talk am like my friend, the Librarian, “are we on the same page?”
Make we no tanda too much on the matter. If you watched the Senegalese play you would have heard of the popular and also famous player I’m talking about.
Is he also called serge or sergeant?
Ehn now. His full unknown name na Sergeant Adio Omoni aka Sadio Mane in French.
Hmm, so na that man, abi? Wetin e do?
Se you watched the game, sha?
Yes, I did with my two korokoro eyes for viewing center at Orile.
Don’t you think without him Senegal would not have won the cup?
Wetin e do? E no score, abi na him score? Sebi na “roving reporter” im dey do, dribbling everything including his own shadow, paapa. TELL me wetin e do. O ya!
Look at you! If not for his OMOLUABI and ALAGBARI combined, Senegal would have lost the match by default.
How?
When everybody including their coach had lost their “isi Ewu” heads na this gentleman of a player that was saying “calm down, calm down” to pacify his team mates and even the coach and the entire management personnel on the bench who had angrily and foolishly walked out on the referee and the entire CAF and FIFA representatives “plus including” the billions (to mimic our friend) of people watching across the globe.
Nitori kini? I mean, because of what?
Who knows for them? It’s this Serge Adio, , SAdio for short, that behaved as an international gentleman, arbiter and peace maker before his more elderly mates and officials could see reason.
He must be an “omoluabi eniyan”, a well behaved and respectful gentleman. Abiire (born well) is probably his cognomen.
From what I heard from the grapevine the man is an extraordinary gentleman, an uncommon “omoluabi” who is committed to uplifting his people in his hometown, not even town, they say village, where his love for his people and commitment to develop his community is well known even in the outside world.
Wetin e do sef?
They say he spends virtually his earnings building hospitals, schools, mosques and giving scholarships to the youths to get education. Not only that they say he gives every family a stipend of the equivalent of one hundred dollars every month to beat the hard times.
Na lie! He be LGA?
Tanda Gidigba there like “Soja Idumota” and be talking jazz, saying he no fit do because he no be local government. Rubbish! His own too much! Learnt he is proposing to set up HELLO HELLO for his people too.
Which one be “hello hello”?
They say e wan provide GSM facility for his village to boost inter connectivity and net working at the local level.
Where im get im own money?
Ma a wo e! Look at you! They even told me say he started these projects when he was earning the ‘paultry’ sum of ‘just’ 50,000 pounds sterling per week. Can you imagine that?
Fifty thousand pounds a week you call “poultry”? That one na LIVESTOCK o!
I didn’t say POULTRY but PAULTRY. Listen carefully. Why would I say Poultry when he is not into “baba aladie” business. The guy is a world rated football talent now playing in Saudi Arabia and earning close to £700,000 (about $1,000,000.00 one million dollars ONLY) per week.
Did you say One million dollars ONLY per week?
Yes!
F..k you! Bloody f…..g you. You think I be mumu. How can somebody earning so much to be so humble?
That’s Sadio Mane for you. Simple, humble and kind. An uncommon player and gentleman. The type of soldier the military describe as OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN but mostly after the man don die. But this Adio is alive being appreciated before his own very eyes for the goods he has done for humanity.
I think we shall need just only one of SAdio, even if he is not sergeant but just a recruit, to come and develop one of our dilapidating states in Nigeria since he is already a one man LGA in Senegal.
Nigeria? Siddon there and be waiting for Godot! In Obodo Naija everybody to their own tent. “Me I no send anybody on errand”, they are accustomed to saying.
In other words it is the attitude of let “onikaluku” (everybody) struggle to carry their own mother’s milk jug (their own heavy burden).
