The LFA PR Agent
codename, Omari Jackson
The Rebuttal
By: Emmanuel Obed Towouh
Before speaking against Mr. Weah, consider the bigger Picture; his
ability to improve football in Liberia. Like every human beings, Mr.
Weah, has his own problems but those are not things that will
deterred him from the race but those are things that can be worked
on, and Mr. Weah has made tremendous improvements in those areas
over the years. Vast majority of Liberians know that Weah is the
only qualified person that can head the LFA at the moment. It seems
Omari Jackson is throwing the last blow for Izetta Wesley and
Yanqueh Borsay hoping to make an impact. I am saying it clearly here
that the “ABC” propaganda by Omari Jackson, the corrupt agent of
Wesley and Borsay has no negative effect on our candidate at all. I
will also say that Mr. Jackson is confused and afraid that their
chopping-line and gravy-line at the LFA is about to close.
See:George Weah's
FA Leadership Ambition: Is He Qualified
Most Liberians are known for spreading bedraggled campaigns when it
comes to putting the right people to the right places. Some think
they already know the answer to governing the LFA. The fact is they
don’t. Instead, they keep throwing composting articles to please
their fans, the corrupt Wesley administration. Omari Jackson
believes that Weah is not qualified to run the LFA. I don’t see why
Weah is not qualified to govern the LFA when he has unequal
credentials? What qualification does Omari Jackson expects Weah to
have?-academic? Izetta Wesley has the academic credentials but the
LFA remains dilapidated? To say the least, that body does not have a
website to convey message speedily in this information age. If there
is a body in Liberia that Mr. Weah is qualified to head, that is no
other body but the LFA and there is no question about that. Weah is
the best candidate for that position.
Mr. Jackson also said that Weah lacks managerial skills. Is Mr.
Jackson also saying that UNICEF made a mistake by selecting George
Weah to “manage” the welfare of children around the world as
Good-will Ambassador? His accusations against Mr. Weah, are
completely out of context and are solely based on sympathy for
relatives that are corrupting and hijacking our football system.
Beware! From what I see, Mr. Omari Jackson is prepared to talk and
spread senile campaigns, and to vote according to his beliefs for
unqualified and corrupt relatives by carrying out elementary-styled
propaganda with the hope that well-meaning people are going to
listened.
Let it be known to Omari Jackson and his kinds, the enemies of
progress, that Weah has all the credentials to head the LFA. Mr.
Weah is managerially inclined to handle the affairs of the LFA far
better than the present ill-equipped LFA. I wonder how much did
Izetta Wesley and Yanqueh S. Borsay pay Jackson to carryout this
kindergarten propaganda that has no effect?. Common sense tells me
that he was not paid but he's doing it out of sympathy for his
relatives that are operating in the LFA . All we need is a
progressive administration, not the regressive administration of
Cllr. Wesley. And Weah is the right man for that job.
Weah has an unimaginable “educational”achievements unparallel to all
the African soccer players. His Majesty George Weah was African
Player of the Year 1989, 1994, & 1995, FIFA Football Player of the
Year in 1995, African Football Player of the Century in 1998. His
Majesty George Weah, born and raised in Africa-specifically Liberia,
of Liberian parents broke a world record that forced the Europeans
to present him with the prestigious European Football Player of the
Year Award in 1995. Weah’s achievements over the years tell the
world that Liberia can produce good players. To Mr. Jackson those
achievements were not educational. At least that is only restricted
to his school of reasoning but the rest of the world including
well-meaning Liberians know those achievements are educational.
I believe the Wesley’s Action Jackson, if I will say, mistaken"
education” for “educational.” If the case Mr. Jackson is
establishing against Mr. Weah is academic education, then I’ll drag
the recycled Counselor back into this discussion. Being academically
inclined is one thing, and putting into use what was acquired
academically is another. The current LFA president is academically
Inclined but records show that she got no technical “know-how” to
improve our football system. Why keep her when we have the
technically inclined, George Weah?
Izetta Wesley can make a better employee [working under somebody]
than being in charge, say, she can be a counselor to the players.
That is fair enough but don’t get me wrong. She’s not going to work
under Mr. Weah. She will be out and out for good. Borsay is going
with her to practice counseling else where. Weah does not and will
not need her serve inside the new administration. But she can
establish a private counseling center to seek contract from LFA when
Weah is in charge.
History keeps repeating in Liberia because we keep making the same
old mistakes over, and over by electing people who have no vision
for progress, and by presenting our audiences with pessimistic views
rather than optimistic views like those presented by Omari Jackson.
What does he expect readers to gain from reading the same old
comments he and his followers made several years ago against the Mr.
Weah? Nowadays, people are interested in what the future holds, not
what happened in the past about sixteen million years ago. I am not
against Mr. Jackson pessimistic views. He’s entitled to it. The
opinion he expressed is his right because there are people who can't
see the future but like regressing back to the past. Mr. Weah is
standing tall and ready to prove his critics wrong.
After all the achievements Mr. Weah have obtained in his career
field including the UNICEF Ambassadorial position, if Weah is not
qualified to run for the LFA presidency which falls in his career
path, his area of specialization, as Mr. Jackson claimed, then
Bachelor Degree holders, Master Degree holders, and Doctoral Degree
holders are not qualified to be placed in areas that fall in their
career path. That is Omari Jackson School of reasoning. Not mine.
We [those who support Weah] are looking at the bigger picture in the
future. We believe in Weah’s abilities. He did it and the world felt
it. We know Weah can do it for Liberian football. He has the ability
to change“ Zero” to “Hero” in a minute at the LFA. Give him the
chance!
Weah past does not matter at the moment, only the future does. The
corrupt and regressive administration of Wesley and Borsay must give
progress a chance. The world knows the world best.
