Football fans whimpered last week Wednesday at Kamuzu Stadium
when their beloved Malawi team failed to collect the much needed three points
against the Brave Warriors of Namibia. To most of them, there was only one link
missing that could have brought in some moments of brilliance to the game, and
that was Gabadinho Mhango. We needed those moments after the aaaaaah,
hiiiiiiiiiii, oooooh! We needed the yaaaaah! Heeee!
As I am putting this calligraphy on him together, the lad is
probably on his desk writing his JCE but his mind must be focused on this
Wednesday game I guess. Why not when the talk in town is all about him? Both
the country’s FA and the technical panel have even commented on the need to
throwing him in action during the game.
Take time to watch games involving Big Bullets one of these
days, it’s all about Gabadinho. The Bullets family have entrusted the weight of
their accomplishments on the boots of this boy and this has been transferred to
the National team. Gabadinho is the man ooops! let me call him boy of the
moment.
Forget the fact that we are putting the boy under unnecessary
pressure and spoiling him with all the showers of praise. Forget about the
exams, the JCE certificate, his future and everything. To some extent I
understand all this because we are a footballing Nation that has been starved
of success for ages. We tested something of that sort in 2010 when our team
made it to Angola but what followed next were punches, flops and frustrations.
What the nation needs now is Gabadinho. He is the game
changer I suppose. Once we qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil I can only
imagine the excitement. I can see more of those fans who sometimes can choose
to run around naked out of excitement. We shall even have time to put aside our
political differences and hoist the Malawi flag in unity.
Gabadinho is the unifying factor. Who thought even Nomads
chief supporter Yona Malunga (Don’t know if he is still their chief supporter)
would even join those that are calling for the inclusion of Gbadinho Mhango in
the National team for the game against Kenya.
Let’s have this boy as our president in 2014, we have no
choice, ha ha ha! With this boy we shall have genuine labour deals. We shall
have more of our footballers clinching deals with professional clubs outside,
be it in South Korea, Dubai, Kuwait or even United Kingdom.
With Gaba in charge we are assured of no globetrotting
because his name alone has gone miles away from home. They know him already, so
we are assured that he will be staying put in office steering the chiwongolero
for us.
World leaders will be scrambling to get autographs and
handshakes from him. They will be coming all the way just to appear posing with
him in photographs.
With Gaba at State House am sure he won’t have time to be
thinking of cows, goats, dogs, and donkeys because he will be a very busy man
running the affairs of the country. He has shown us what he can do on the field
of play where he focuses on scoring goals.
Don’t worry about his running mate because Kinnah Phiri is
the rightful candidate. He took us to Angola 2010. At least he has some achievement
to show us. This is going to be the real Agenda for change.
