Who has the balls to smuggle drugs into an Arab/Muslim state?

This makes me wonder why some Africans complain about racism and other peoples treating them badly.

Anthony Harrison? What type of Nigerian name is that?

While it's understandable that you guys are patriotic and happy for a fellow Nigerian. Lets delve into some of the reported facts.

The people that matter, the fans at Chelsea and the greater football region of England don't respect him for his football mind/achievements*. He has NO track record. He got to Chelsea via **Avram Grant whom he played for at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Whatever qualities Avram hired him for is probably the same Abramovich values him. Word is Emenalo's job is primarily to be the ear for an owner who's been criticized for being too hands on.

So while we are all happy for him we should know the facts and put things in perspective that he was in all indications not hired for his mind but rather his personal relationship. Emenalo might very well come out of the shadow of looking like Abramovich's lap dog and prove himself as a football man. He has almost everything in his favor to succeed.

*At the time of my post, there were 7 comments on the Telegraph article which nametalkam sourced. Not ONE positive comment.
**Great coach in Israel, unfortunately things haven't gone his way in England.
