Blog: If I were the president

If I were Sam Nyamweya..

Kenyan football would be the envy of all other African nations.

We would have the best facilities in the continent. Soccer City would have been in Kibera, not Soweto.

The Kisumu Stadium would not have the name of a run-down ex-dictator, who is the reason for all our failures.

Even if it is as small as a speck in the sea, Ghana would have trained there, even Botswana and Brazil themselves.

The people there, who love football more than their wives would have been the biggest supporters of not fishing, but football.

Build bridges

If I were Sam Nyamweya..

I would attempt to make a name with the same corporates who fear me.

I would have given them an opportunity to do whatever they like, as long as it is in the name of building football.

Sakata ball and the Safaricom bosses would be best friends with the federation. They would be the first people to call me when we are on the brink.

I would have Coca Cola finish off the Nyayo Stadium, Guinness build an Academy.. EABL sponsor my dream..

Radical changes

If I were Sam Nyamweya..

I would kill the referees association, which is as corrupt as the Kenya Police.

I would break apart the Division one, which is home to many teams that are not worthy of a place in such a league.

I would insist that each young player come from an Academy, where he would be taught the necessary skills to being a footballer.

And would ask that all players in the national school ball games be taken to a national football academy, where we would harness the best talents.

Not Nyamweya

But alas, I am not him.

I can't make such decisions and even if I could, I would be shot down by many anti-football organs.

However, as a rapper in the streets, I will continue to spread the word that I know, the word of football.

Even if they stop the media and kill the source..

They won't stop the word, as it is the truth.
