    Mr Weah is trying to become President of Liberia. How does that help matters if he is from Ghana? His political opponents will dwell on it and try to disqualify him.

    How does a renowned footballer translate to being a good statesman. Even Maradona couldn't coach an ordinary national team and we're talking about a whole country here.

  • Asaase Aban 8 years ago

    George Weah was nicknamed Oppong since his style of play was like Charles Oppong who played for Kotoko in the early 80s

  • Agya, USA 8 years ago

    Asaase Aban, you're 100% right. It's true that he took the name Oppong from former Kotoko defender, who was very good and had big name in Liberia when Invincible XI and Mighty Barole were on top forms in the 80s.
