        Very true and insightful submission from a very respectable football/ life coach(Mr Arsene Wenger). It is an experience that nourishes "Hope as a currency that never be devalued". Stay strong, don't loose hope!

        When I was a kid I thought @GeorgeWeahOff was a Ghanaian because of his name "Oppong". It was later that I realized he was a Liberian. Let's be patriotic citizens and love ❤️ our countries #congratsWeah

        There's real life after football if you make the right decisions thereafter. President Oppong Weah is an example.

        Well said #ArseneWenger. We are confident he will be a president for all but in particular the needy; the poor; the marginalised; the "lost-generations" of #Liberia... He must always be in touch with these people directly if he is to succeed. #AFRICANWATCHMAN @ECOWAS_CEDEAO

        The likes of Togo, Cameroon and Congo should realize that football can raise a country's Image. Not to forget my fellow East Africans.
