        Very disrespectful headline “finally”! from a reputable media house like BBC, shouldn’t be throwing tantrums at a man who modernized English football.

        BBC shouldn’t be making this kind of gaffe. Wenger doesn’t deserve that. The man has made huge contributions to football on and off the field. He shd not be denigrated as that headline did. It’s a shame!

        Sadly, Africans are upset about a headline and NOT about the fact that Liberia's president just gave the nation's HIGHEST honor to a non-Liberian who has done NOTHING for the country. This is why we are disrespected as a people the world over.

        Read the story of George Weah.. How he joined Monaco and what he said at the podium when he won his Ballon D'or... And then tell me Wenger did nothing for Liberia!

        Aside from building players on the field, the kind of belief Wenger puts in you, makes you want to do things above your limit. He builds them up in all aspects of life, that, I believe is one of the key reasons why Weah is where he is today. 🖒
