His field name from legendary OPPONG of KOTOKO .The most respectful player i ever know.Very humble,that made him Afro-Greatest.All the young guys be humble.He gave his best to his Country the World.Not Salinsa who feels proud,and with his proudness he got nowhere with the game."A 'positive attitude' is definitely one of the keys to success. My definition of a positive attitude is a simple one, Looking for the good in all circumstances.Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

George Weah was born and raised in the Clara Town slum of Monrovia. He is a member of the Kru ethnic group, which hails from south-eastern Liberia's Grand Kru County, one of the poorest areas of the country. His parents were William T. Weah, Sr. and Anna Quayeweah. He was raised largely by his paternal grandmother, Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. He attended middle school at Muslim Congress and high school at Wells Hairston High School. Before his football career allowed him to move abroad, Weah worked for the Liberia Telecommunications Corporation as a switchboard technician.
He has four children. George Weah Jr, Tita, Timothy and one adopted son from Lebanon - Samer Hodroj.Timothy was born in the year 2000 and has trained with the USMNT u-14 squads.
George Weah converted from Christianity to Islam before converting back. He hopes for peace for Muslims and Christians, and says they are "one people."HE NAMED HIMSELF OPPONG AFTER OPPONG OF KOTOKO AT HIS TEENAGE.SO PLEASE WITH DUE RESPECT.....LET IT DIE HERE.

AH, I SPOKE WITH THE GUY FROM THE AIRPOERT IN AMSTERDFAM TO ACCRA IN DEC 2010. THE GUY TOLD ME HIS DAD WAS GH FROM TAKORADI. SO WHERE DID U GET ALL THIS USELESS INFORMATION FROM? GEORGE WEAH CURRENTLY LIVES IN FLORIDA, AND EVEN HAS A GROCERY STORE IN NEW YORK. HE TOLD ME HE HAS FAMILY MEMBERS IN TORONTO AND MONTREAL. GHPPL ARE TOO KNOWN. THEY THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. WHEN I GOT TO SCHIFPOL AIRPORT FROM NEW YORK. I SAW GEORGE WEAH SITTING IN THE B BOARDING AREA QUIETLY. READING HIS BOOK. NOT EVEN 1 GH PERSON ON THAT FLIGHT FROM JFK WENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GUY. I WAS SO SURPRISED. A PLAYER OF WEAH'S CALIBRE AND YET GHPPLM ARE ACTING LIKE HE IS NOONE. SHAME ON THOSE FOOLS....I WENT AND TALKED TO THE GUY. EVEN TOOK PICTURES WITH HIM. HE WAS SO SUPRISED BUT NICE. THEN AS WE BOARDED THE FLIGHT. I REALISED HE WAS MY SEAT MATE IN BUSINESS CLASS. MUAHAHAHAAAA, SO I TRIED TO BOTHER HIM THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT. EVEN ORDERING HIS MEALS FOR HIM AND STUFF. I COLULDNT BELIEVE I WAS SITTING NEXT TO GEORGE WEAH. LOL, ME PAA ME NIE? I SHOULD HAVE SLAPPED HIM EVEN. IN=FACFT, THIS EWE GIRL WAS TRYING TO TALK TO ON MY TRIP WAS ASKING ME WHO GEORGE WEAH WAS. AS SOON AS I TOLD HER WHO HE WAS, THE GIRL STARTED MAKING FRIENDS WITH HIM. FOOLISH BITCH...

THANKS YOU BY CALLING ME A LIAR AND I'LL SURELY 'F-OFF'.YOU USING THE 'F'WORD SHOWS WHO YOU ARE.I AM A POOR GUY LIVING IN HOLLAND,NEVER USED BUSINESS CLASS WHILE TRAVELING BECAUSE OF MY POVERTY.MR WEAH LOVES GH LIKEWISE I,MY SECOND HOME.WHY CALLING PEOPLE NAMES?USELESS,FOOLS AND BITCH?DO YOU HAVE A SISTER?YOU CALLED THE GIRL OR WOMAN BITCH,BECAUSE OF MR WEAH?YOU SAID YOU ORDERED HIS MEAL,DID YOU FIRST ASKED HIM IF HE WANTS TO EAT?OH MY BRO!INFACT YOU DIDNT HAVE DINNER WITH JESUS CHRIST OR THE PROPHET MOHAMMED.SEAT MATE SO WHAT?Your mental attitude will determine your success in life. If your outlook on life is a positive one, you will find life will be easier. Everything comes down to your own attitude. And, only you are the one who decides what type of attitude you have, it is your choice.Learning to control and adjust your attitude to a positive one reflects wisdom of mind.WE WONT BE HERE IF MR WEAH IS A MURDERER OR ARMED ROBBER,SO STOP CALLING PEOPLE NAMES.Never let fear stop you from asking something you don't understand or know. To pretend or to act as if you know is not a wise thing to do.Be conscious of your attitude. Work extra hard at keeping your attitude positive in all kinds of weather, through all the challenges of life.In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.Help one another, is part of the religion of sisterhood.Our true nationality is mankind.GOD BLESS.

Well done brother... this is the most mature and sensible reply you can give to GH FUO. Even me, I do not think that I would have been able to control myself the way you did.
Infact, you have shown you are not a Ghanaian, but a Liberian, because a Ghanaian would have insulted back, and then tried to also boast about 1st or business class, but you gave a honest and humble answer. Thanks you brother. I pray God gives all of us patience to be like you, because like if it was me paaaaa, the way I would have insulted GH FUO back, like he will not like it kwraaaaa

He was good, but he has some competition including Abedi Pele and Roger Miller. Infact, I will also add Samuel Eto and Didier Drogba to the list. I am sure there are many more.

One rule of success is to treat people as you want to be treated.
Your luck is how you treat people.There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.After all MR DEATH WOULD ROB US.THIS ARE ALL EARTHLY THINGS

LEGITIMATELY OWNING A PROPERTY ON WHICH YOU PAY TAXES, IS DIFFERENT FROM BUYING WITH INTENT, BUT RESELLING FOR PROFIT; AND REMEMBER,WE ARE ON EARTH, AND I AM TALKING ABOUT EARTHLY THINGS ON WHICH YOU ARE MAKING ILLEGAL PROFIT.DEVELOPING A PIECE OF LAND AND RESELLING IT, IS NO CRIME,BUT RESELLING THE SAME LAND AS YOU BOUGHT IT, FOR PROFIT, IS LIKE HOARDING AND PROFITEERING, WHICH IS A CRIME IN GHANA.LIBERIA MAY BE DIFFERENT, AND I DON'T CARE.

If it is a crime in Ghana,do people go to jail for that?I bought three plots in GH from a family-friend for my three daughters,which was very expensive,because the area has been developed.He told me he bought them years back when he was in Liberia.To what he told me it was them very cheap.No one on earth buys a land for more than 20years and re-sell it for same price.He was very honest with me.In this case the choice is mine.He said if i want a cheaper land i have to travel miles miles from Accra.I have 3 daughters in Accra(youngest 28yrs),they swear they are to going back to Liberia which i found it bitter to swallow,but i have to.There are two primary choices in life, to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.Life is a choice - as is how you handle the pitfalls along its bumpy road."There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.They have their FREEDOM AND PEACE in GH.I wished them well.To me,understanding is knowing what to do, wisdom is knowing what to do next,
virtue is actually doing it.MAY THE LORD GIVE US WISDOM.GOD BLESS

I WAS HONORED TO SHARE A SEAT WITH HIM IN BUSINESS CLASS AND GOT A CHANCE TO CHAT WITH HIM ABOUT HIS CAREER. HE TOLD ME HE LIVES IN FLORIDA. OPPONG WEAH COAST TO COAST AC MILAN! THE ONLY PLAYER IVE SEEN TAKE A BALL FROM ONE END AND SCORE AT THE OTHER....GEORGE'S FATHER IS GH FROM TAADI. GEORGE TOLD ME THAT HIMSELF. HE SAYS MOST OF HIS FAMILY LIVES IN GH AND SOME IN LIBERIA. HEY GEORGE, U REMEMBER THE OLD WHITE FLIGHT ATTENDANT ON THE FLIGHT? ITS SO FUNNY. THE MINUTE HE SAW THIS WOMAN, HE SAID THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY..SHE IS NO GOOD...LOL. GHPPL ARE TOO KNOWN. WHEN WE GOT TO SCHIFPOL AIRPORT IN AMSTERDAM, MANY SAW HIM SITTING THERE QUIETLY, READING HIS BOOK. BUT NO GH PERSON WENT UP TO HIM TO SAY HI. I WAS SO ASHAMED. WHY CANT WE ACKNOWLEDGE A FELLOW GH OR AFRICAN WHO MADE US ALL SO PROUD? USELESS PPL. I WAS THE ONLY GUY TO INITIATE A CHAT WITH OPPONG WEAH, AND I THINK HE WAS EVEN SURPRISED. IM SURE HE HAS HAD TOO MANY OF SUCH INSTANCES WITH GHFUO. RIP TO HIS MOM. GEORGE, STAY STRONG GEORGE. YOUR MOM IS IN GOOD HANDS. SHE IS IN A GOOD PLACE............tuxman06@yahoo.ca
