“Dear MAN!
You are not a robot
You are not God
You are human
You have blood flowing through your veins
You are somebody’s child
You deserve love
You deserve care
You deserve to show emotions when necessary
You are allowed to take a break when overwhelmed
You deserve…
A partner that helps you without tearing you down !
You are important too
Whilst trying to take care of everyone, take care of you too!
Dear Man! Pls don’t die!!!
Wondering why we have grandmas than grandpas!
Because you “Man”allow yourself to be overwhelmed !
As long as you are Not a deadbeat !
You deserve the love n care society shows the “woman”!
Dear man ! Feel free to ask for help !
Make sure your health is prioritised !
Know God
Love him
He ll teach you
Dear MAN
Plsss stay alive!!!!”

Former international, Seyi Olofinjana is not happy with the length of contract offered new Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George.

Finidi, who was unveiled by the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday, signed a one-year contract with the option of another year.

The 53-year-old has the mandate of ensuring the Super Eagles secure a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Olofinjana stated that the one-year contract is not enough for Finidi to achieve tangible results.

“I think it’s good we have an ex-international, someone who knows what playing for Nigeria is all about, as the Super Eagles head coach.

“But does he have a lot of experience at this level? But again, the Guardiola’s of this world started from somewhere,” Olofinjana said on Supersports Monday Night Football.

“But then, can we all trust and support him? The appointment has been made, and there is no going back again.

“I think for me that trust has already been broken by giving the so-called young, inexperienced coach at this level a one-year contract. What is he going to do in a year?

“”If truly they believe in him what is happening to a four- or five-year contract and say come what may, we trust you, and whatever happens along the way, we’ll trust you.”

Known for his outspoken nature during fight weeks, John has often made headlines in recent years.

Following the incident, John expressed his remorse in an interview with Seconds Out: “Sincere apologies to everybody involved, to be honest with you. It’s just the way we are. Emotions and tensions are running high.”

He added, “He was a very disrespectful fella, wasn’t he? Everybody knows, if you come close in a fighting man’s space, you’re gonna ‘cop for something’, aren’t you?
