Readers, did you think I had forgotten you? Perhaps you hoped I had |
Attention Ladies and Gentlemen, The Talisman is reporting for duty
Previously on the Talisman: We talked…or well, I wrote and you probably read or stubbornly refused to open that link about The 9 things to learn about AFL 2016 Now open it or I cry
On the latest Episode of
The Talisman: Believe
me I was prepared to do a serious and proper season preview until a few weird
things came my way…Don’t worry, I’d share them with you
Let me Report these AFL Organizers to
you
Before I
begin my presentation, just know I’m not making this stuff up. First the league
would be called NAFL meaning National Abuad Football League. No, I’m
not joking actually, these folks added National to Abuad and believed it made
plenty sense. But we can’t blame them. I mean Americans (Some of the smartest
Humans in the world) also believe calling a Rugby-like game American Football
makes perfect sense too. But we forgive them, they said it was for sponsorship.
Can we now leave that matter?
NAFL Really? Makes sense to you? How? Pray tell |
No. We can’t.
As if that
wasn’t enough, our friends went ahead and renamed the teams; Awo Hornets, Sporting Dan Fodio, Afe
Giants, Bello FC, Zik FC, Balewa stars, Classic madiba, Macaulay United, Lugard
FC, Ojukwu Rangers, Ajisafe Wolves, FC Kuti
But let’s
ignore this and move o….Holllupp, we are not moving on yet please!
I mean how on
earth did you come up with Sporting Dan Fodio? Lugard FC, Balewa
Stars? Classic madiba? Ojukwu Rangers? FC Awo Hornets? Macaulay United? FC
Kuti? Zik FC, Bello FC Lol…those got me cracking up. These organizers’
creativity need life-saving Surgery. Why name most of the teams after dead
people?
Attention please...sorry for disturbing your chilling in Heaven or wherever you find yourself guys but Clubs have been named after y'all and those clubs need sponsorship |
What else
now? The teams must have the autopsy photos of those they are named after
boldly printed on their jerseys? Or wait…? New players of those clubs would be
unveiled at the graves of those they are named after? And how come Governor
Fayose (Alive and much more realistic as a sponsor) does not get a team? Say
Oshokomole Termites FC or Fayose Guinea fowls FC? As weird as this sounds, how
come I, The Talisman and The
Archbishop of BANTERbury don’t get a team? (Not that I’m going to sponsor sha,
please take note). Talisman Spiders FC perhaps? I mind not.
I know right, Your excellency. They refused to name a team after you. |
Eskiss Sir, shey you will manage GEJ Alligators FC? |
But it’s
really none of our business anyway. Football would still go on, good players
would still burst our brains and pipes would still kit up nicely and play
absolute poverty football. This column is only scared names of dead people
would appear more as the season progresses
But it's none of our business really |
The SMS Staff and Abuad Ventures Final
Game ended 1-0 as SMS staff won but really that wasn’t the
fun part. See, football can so much comedy at times. I mean we all know after a
final, the team winning team goes ahead to lift the trophy RIGHT? Apparently
Abuad Venture guys had a different theory; Lose the match, Lift the trophy,
then beat the crap out of each other. Did I settle the fight? No. I simply
played The Mortal Kombat theme song in my mind, allocated the wrestlers in the
pavilion with characters from Mortal Kombat franchise and watched the different
rounds with The actual winners; SMS Staff members.
Congratulations though. To both the winners and the team
with the trophy (Different teams).
Final Whistle
The basketball guys too now have a league. Abuad Voltage Basketball League. I don’t have a joke for this. Just an irrelevant piece of fact, please carry on.
Please do have for yourself a wonderful Easter celebration. And as a gift from me to you, let me remind y’all that First Semester Results are about to touchdown, I hope I didn’t mount some pressure on you?
The Talisman.
Welcome back Readers. Cheers to the upcoming NAFL Season. |
