Was Messi Wrong To Have Dressed In A Casual Shirt And Short To Gabon? by youngsahito(m): 4:25pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
Gabon’s political opposition have accused
Lionel Messi of showing a “lack of respect
for standards and principles” after the
Barcelona star met the African nation’s
president wearing denim shorts and a T-
shirt.
Messi, 28, jetted into Gabon earlier this
week on the first leg of a five-day visit to
Africa, and met President Ali Bongo
Ondimba in relaxed clothing.
A statement from the Union du Peuple
Gabonais (UPG) party read: “The messiah
of football arrived in Gabon like he were
going to a zoo: dirty, unshaven and his
hands in his pockets, looking for peanuts
to throw to them!
“When you’re called Lionel Messi and
you’re a multi-billionaire, you don’t have
the right to present yourself to officials of
a republic, even a banana one, with your
hands in the pockets of a ripped, tattered
pair of shorts.
“Gabon isn’t a zoo. We don’t know what
the Argentine came to Gabon for, but we
at least have the right to denounce his
negligence and his lack of respect for
standards and principles. We are uneasy
with Messi’s attitude and his attire. Only
for these reasons, linked to respect for the
host country, do we condemn the
footballer’s indelicateness, to say the
least!”
President Bongo himself drove Messi
through the streets of the Gabonese
capital, Libreville, in a jeep before the
Argentina international laid the first stone
of the stadium at Port-Gentil, which will
stage Africa Nations Cup final tournament
matches in 2017.
France Football reported that Messi was
paid €3.5 million for the visit, which was
reportedly organised by Samuel Eto’o, a
confidante of President Bongo.
However, that claim was denied by Messi,
who — according to El Mundo Deportivo —
has asked France Football to rectify the
report, and state that he did not receive a
single cent for the visit. The Spanish paper
said it had independently verified that
Messi was not paid.
Should he have dressed corporately or
dressed in African attire? 1 Share

Africans need to realize that other countries have their own culture and way of life. I'm doing a short stint with a multi-national coy presently and most of the expatriates prefer HI as a greeting. On an occassion, i was summoned to a Madam's office cos greeting her "Good morning Ma" made her feel old. If an African man did this, na me go first criticize but outside Africa, it's allowed abeg. The only question to ask is would he dress that way if he was meeting his own country's president? If the answer is Yes, then there is no case |
