Eto'o fils take it easy...

So Samuel Eto'o fils says Roger Milla should shut up?So the Cameroun captain and striker says the pioneer talismanic player has not achieved anything? And because of Milla's pronouncements about his alleged non-performance in the national team,he considering opting out of his country's participation in the Mundial.
Perhaps now the Inter-Milan striker has forgotten where he came from,he has forgotten that he and many Africans have benefited from Milla and company's performances in the past World Cups when only 2 or 3 African countries participated.In fact he has even forgotten or was not even born when because of the stellar performances of the Indomitable Lions in those days,African football was seen at the world stage.Milla and Cameroun singlehandedly took the World Cup1990 by storm when they went all the way to the quarters,only felled by two soft Lineker penalties in their 3-2 loss to England.
Why is his outburst unfortunate?Perhaps now he is far richer than Milla or the earlier 'fathers'.And wealth and fame has a way of going to your head.And I think this skillful player has forgotten the honor that a 'father' or an elderly man is supposed to receive.Basically in African societies elderly men are expected to be accorded respect because of their age,their status and achievement. No matter how rich you are your 'poor' father can still advice you because he brought you into this world.In other words,the opportunities that the present generation of millionaire players have were created by the previous generation of players like Roger Milla,George Weah[Liberia],Abedi Pele[Ghana] and many others that space would not allow me to mention.
The Bible says that a son is disciplined by a loving father.I think Milla said those things as away of encouraging him to do more,not as a disparaging remark.And even if he meant to castigate him,Eto'o fils should have taken it in good faith and treated it as fatherly advice.
Milla,Weah,Ayew and all those like them who carried Africa on their shoulders on the World stage should be given the respect they deserve because the young ones like Eto'o ,MichaelEssien[Chelsea and Ghana] etc rode on the shoulders of these football statesmen and ambassadors to become who they are now.Meanwhile I certainly respect the football prowess and acumen of Eto'o whose flair and deadly accuracy in front of the posts have proved the undoing of many a defence.
For African football to progress and rule the world,the present generation of players must forge strong relationships with those who began it all and blazed a path for them.And for African teams in the World Cup in South Africa this year, go all the way!
