LIFE




“I bargained with Life for a penny,

And Life would pay no more,

However I begged at evening

When I counted my scanty store




“For Life is a just employer,

He gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, you must bear the task.




“For Life is a just employer,

He gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, you must bear the task



  “I worked for a menial’s hire,

Only to learn, dismayed,

That any wage I had asked of Life,

Life would have willingly paid.”  - Anonymous

The AFCON/CAN has always been a showcase for African footballers for good reasons and bad. Scouts from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwean cattle-grazing pitch leagues troop to the tournament in their numbers to scoop new talent on the cheap. So how does a footballer shine in the hope of bagging a purse-bursting big money move? Talent, I suppose. But in the CAN , sometimes just raw talent is not enough. Unless you’re one of the few who can spot a nit on a gnat’s nut from 50 yards, it’s sometimes impossible to tell one unfamiliar player from the next without seeing the numbers on their shirts. [ To preclude charges of racism, I’m blacker than night] The very kind African footballes love to make life easy for the scouts so they use their head oops I meant their hair . The players that turned up at this year’s AFCON2013 did not disappoint. Spotting spectacularly horrific hairstyles, some of the players made Mr T look like Archbishop Desmond Tutu. [And I say “horrific in a good way]. Ev
