Diogo Jota was my favourite player at Liverpool
He was extremely skilful and easy going.
It was in the summer of 2024, on July 3 that the worst happened.
Jota had had a surgery on his lung and so he was advised by his doctors not to travel by air. He was on holiday and he was to travel for a preseason training in England from Portugal so he picked his new Lamborghini key and with his brother, Andre, he hit the road but few kilometres to Valladolid in Spain, he had a car crash and died instantly with his younger brother.
He was on his way to the northern Spanish port city of Santander to cross the ferry and reach the UK that way and carry on with the car once he reached Britain.
It was 11 days after his wedding.
His relationship with his spouse had produced two children before the knot was tied.
It was as a result of over speeding.
As unfortunate as the incident was as Diogo Jota also being a player of the Portuguese senior national team, no one blamed the nation of Spain responsible for the accident.
They didn’t because a lot of them know that accident do happen no matter how perfect a system appears.
It is also not everything that is politics to them.
They are mostly reasonable people.
Anthony Olufemi Joshua is a Briton but he has never denied his Nigeria origin. He is our source of nation pride.
We do love him in return and we sympathize with him over the death of his two trainers who died in the accident.
However, blaming Nigeria for the accident that occurred as a result of over speeding like that of Jota in Spain is very irresponsible.
It is unfortunate that a Senator of the Federal Republic blamed the nation Nigeria over the unfortunate incident before she quickly deleted her irresponsible post.
It is not everything that we should view with a political lens.
