It’s very cringe to hear essian call mourinho daddy. It’s a Ghanaian thing where we must call every older person daddy

The first time I heard Essien call Mourinho Dady I almost vomitted, because having lived in the US for so long, it sounded very "unwholesome" and I am happy Mourinho told Essien to stop that. You can show someone great respect without calling them Daddy. This African misbehaviour/too much respect thing must stop...it has made amny of our young men very timid, they can't even engage in a debate with authority figures. IT MUST STOP!!!

May be Essien had a father son relationship with the coach . I don't know. But our timidity boarders on stupidity sometimes.

Big brother would have been more appropriate.
Essien however resorted to calling him 'daddy', out of respect.
We all love you, Mourinho 'the Special One'!

Mercier Maurinho left didn't play football for long before a career switch to coach. He got injured too early as a defender. It's no surprise that his age wasn't too far from all the African players he mentioned.

Because we Africans unfortunately we groomed and misdirected to see white people as saviors, daddies, mommies, gods. Save mentality will kill us literally. Whites are stealing our resources, promoting civil wars and coups in our countries, spreading diseases and cancer, etc. Time to wake up Africans. I live in America and believe me white people ain't shit. Africans, put your energy in bettering relationships with your own kid - the back man, the black woman and the black child.

GHANAIAN youth usually refer to elders as daddy or mommy. I find this as very STUPID AND 'BUSH' mentality. COMING from Ghana, when people want to dupe you or take advantage of you, they heap USELESS ACOLADES on you. Since when did Mouinho became a daddy to 'oldman' Essien? It's a cheap way of taking advantage of people and smacks of lack of confidence among our youth. DADDY MY ASS!!

Hence the use of useless titles such 'Sister' Afia, 'Bro' Sammy, 'Dada' KK, 'Nana' ****, 'Chairman'****...etc....Come to think of Mr John, instead of simply saying John...Madam Comfort instead of Comfort...You only prefixed a surname and not names...

My brother's wife calls me Daddy yet I cannot in my life father her. I get angry within me whenever she does that. I really think this 'Daddy' thing is an Accra thing because you do not find this in most parts of the country where better expressions are used to show respect.

Hahahaha !!!! I laugh saaaaa I almost fart in front of
my mother in -law . Essien no know say this
guy sabe his real age. This Morinho has been dealing with
Africa players for years so you can deceive him with football age. The team doctors might have detected micheal’s real age through MRI during medical check up. Essien should apologize to that guy because it’s so shocking when your big brother calls you daddy.
