Okocha Heads For Church Over Etim by nwosas(m): 6:14am On Feb 06, 2009 |
Austin Jay Jay Okocha says he is still shocked by the way Etim Esin took the incident in his house at last year's Christmas Party and plans to do a thanksgiving session in the church for what he says God has revealed to him. Okocha Etim is suing Okocha for N100 million for the embarrassment he faced in his house during the party. A phone set of one of the guests was said to have been stolen and Etim said that accusing fingers were pointed at him. He said that Okocha ordered him searched and that the searching was extended to his wife. At the end, the phone was not found on them. Etim says he is more disappointed that Okocha has not apologised to him and he was bent on clearing his name. In his second reaction to the controversy Okocha offered the following words:"I'm still shocked at the way Etim is taking this. One thing is clear. God has hand in this development. God is using it to teach me a lesson. God is using it to warn me, to make me to be more careful. I say this because what Etim is doing is unbelievable. It was not good that he was searched over a missing phone. But he knew I knew nothing about it. Etim knew that when I came in and saw what was happening I ordered them to stop and fumed over that. He knew that I apologised to him. Etim knew that I had no hand in what happened. He left the party and changed everything. In the first place, he said it was my phone that was allegedly stolen. I never complained that my phone was missing. It was one of my guests who complained and I was not with them when that happened. Etim knew he was not the only one they searched. Everybody was opening his bag to show he didn't have it. I saw that and stopped it. Etim later changed everything and said that I ordered them to search him. Actually, I did the opposite. It is unbelievable. When everybody was avoiding Etim, I got close to him, gave him things including wears. There were times I came from Europe and did things for Etim. It was on the basis of our friendship that I invited him to the Christmas party where I still gave him gift. So, it's shocking that such a person will suddenly change and turn against you. God is simply sending messages to me and such revelation is worth going to church for thanksgiving. That I'll do. Who knows if this didn't happen, I might not have had the need to be careful over certain things and this man could cause one some harm. Now I know better and I'll be more careful. That's what God has done for me with Etim. I'll go and thank God and also pray for Etim." Toyin Subair, the CEO of HITV, the cable station that Etim does soccer analysis for, has suspended the former Eagles star, arguing that Etim must apologise to Okocha before he could continue his television programmes. "I did so because I found out the truth," Subair said. "I found out that Okocha wasn't the one that ordered Etim searched, I found out that Etim was not the only one searched. I found out that Okocha apologised to Etim and Okocha's wife knelt down to apologise to Etim's wife, gave her a kiss and everything calmed down and the party continued. Etim claimed that he was searched in the presence of his daughter who wanted to know what they were doing to her dad and Etim told her they were playing a Christmas game. I found out that Etim's daughter was upstairs playing with other kids when he was being searched and what Etim said wasn't true. I found out that Okocha also gave Etim money as Christmas gift and the man probably went home happy only for him to surface later and change things. I found out the truth from Etim's wife. When I found out the truth my body started shaking, I became scared of Etim and insisted he would have to retrace his steps otherwise he could do it to anybody including those of us on HITV. That's why I asked him to apologise," Subair said. Etim immediately saw that as "two people working together to set me up and destroy my name. They are together. I'll not apologise to Okocha. I'll rather quit HITV than apologise for the wrong done to me." He also said Okocha gave him N50,000 as Christmas gift and not N100,000 as reported and that the money was given before the incident. "Again, it's not about money. It's about my integrity. The phone was not eventually found on me. I have a lovely wife and I'm not as poor as people think. If I need money I could go to former President Ibrahim Babangida who is the senior Maradona. We are only two in the country. He did things for me when I was playing for Nigeria. I have made name. I made name before Okocha. Where was Okocha when Iwuanyanwu gave me a brand new car? Where was Okocha when I brought my first convertible into Nigeria? Obesere, the musician has a football academy, trying to develop football, Okocha has a night club. Is that how to work for football? |

as for me , i think etim is not doing the right thing, no matter how the case may be , he suppose to let them settle it amicably rather involving the entire nation. ever since i know okocha , he is a humble man, and i did not doubt his integrity anytime. the way etim is talking , he want money, why small issue like this happened and he is demanding for 100m compensation? too bad. just like he has being looking for this opportunity to revive himself. too bad. |
