        No matter what Liberia might be going through but @ArsenWenger groomed @GeorgeWeah who also groomed other players & bankrolled Liberia Football National team during the war. Besides Wenger gave African players opportunities when at @Arsenal. He deserves the medal period.

        Giving opportunities to players like Song, Eboue, Adebayor, Kanu and Lauren made arsenal one of the most loved clubs in Africa. I've seen many players praise him that he was more than a football manager to them.

        Yes, in a way he loved African players. And Africa returned the love. President Weah is only giving that love some kind of title.

        This is a Joke. Liberian people are waiting the president to create job, bring development no, Mr president is busy awarding his football coach. Seriously! #Weah #Liberia

        "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" The President is promoting your country. That may bring foreign investors. You have to be patient. The construction takes far more time than the destruction.

        A very wrong move by president G.Weah. The people of Liberia want you to create Job so that the people can work and earn a living. This award is secondary, Weah's primary aim should have been better life for the people of Liberia.
