Dedicated To Jay Jay Okocha

Life isn't always about winning This what I say to those who're thinking That Jay Jay in spite of Fame is over hyped Cos they're crude to know that such hotshots are archetyped Just like Tyson made many fell in love with boxing And Jackson made many fell in love with dancing Okocha was the reason many Nigerians watched football And the reason in competitions FIFA didn't want Nigeria to fall The world may forget Platini, Madini and Totti But the world won't forget Ronaldo, Christiano and Messi The world will forget many in spite of their wins But won't forget Pele, Maradona, Okocha and Ronaldinho for many reasons There are some talents that aren't meant for trophies But their impacts offer great psychotherapies Like the legendary Bob Marley who didn't win a Grammy Or Achebe who never won a Noble Prize in spite of his ability Austin would've been treated differently if he were a white Watching Jay Jay gave the world a great delight Africans had Okocha underrated He deserves more respect than the responses in what people debated Since football is about inclusion, respect and entertainment Jay Jay Okocha gave us that and that's an achievement Since football is the best entertainment around the world Jay Jay gave us memories that put him on top of the world.
