Emmanuel Adebayo: … and his shocking ‘Juju’ story
By Onochie Anibeze
IT once happened to our own Daniel Amokachi.Voodoo men performed some
magic and Amokachi
believed them. How Amokachi was charmed, conned
He had been injured while still playing in
Europe. It was such a bad injury that playing football again seemed difficult.
It was at this time, shortly after the 1998 World cup in France, that the
Voodoo men asked Amokachi to place an egg in a white handkerchief and crush it.
He did and pieces of metal emerged from this action. The Voodoo men told
Amokachi that what he had in his hand were the replica of what were in his knee
and that detractors conjured them into his body.
And they told him that sacrifices would have to be made to heal his
knee so that he can begin to play football again. The sacrifices included
parting with money and cars which would be used to appease some gods. He was
also to buy goats and fowls for more fetish injunctions. And so began the
swindling that cost Amokachi, the Bull of Nigerian football, hundreds of
thousands of dollars he earned playing top class football in Europe. It was a
sad chapter in his life.

How Neymar, Messi guide 10-man Barca to crucial
Neymar and Lionel Messi were on target as Barcelona produced
a sensational first-half performance to take a huge step towards the La Liga
title with a 2-0 win at local rivals Espanyol on Saturday.
The visitors dominated from the off and two goals in eight
minutes sealed the win as Neymar and Messi rounded off excellent team moves.
Barca were reduced to 10 men early in the second period as
Jordi Alba was given his marching orders for taking his protestations towards
referee Mateu Lahoz too far.
But Luis Enrique’s men held on comfortably and could have
even added to their lead had Neymar not blazed a glorious chance over 25
minutes from time.
Victory takes Barca four points clear of Real Madrid at the
top of the table with Los Blancos not in action until Sunday when they travel
to Celta Vigo.
“I think we played the best first-half of the season in terms
of dominating all facets of the game. We had the ball in their half, moved the
ball well, created chances and pressed well after losing the ball,” said
Enrique.

| Issa Hayatou |
Tunisian Tarek Bouchamaoui and Constant Omari Selemani of DR Congo
are favoured to finish top in the ballot.
They look likely to sweep Ivorian Jacques Anouma from the
committee where he has served for eight years.
Delegates from 54 countries are also being asked to remove an age
limit from the organisation’s statutes in order to allow Caf president Issa
Hayatou to stay in power beyond the end of his existing term.
Caf requires officials who reach 70 to step down but a proposal to
scrap the rule is expected to go through.
