So that's what's kept TFCO busy?
It's the thought that counts though. Good one.

I thought it is only in Nigeria that you would see this type of abysmal handiwork of a Statue. I remember Chief Obafemi Awolowo's Statue siting down and looked like he had kwashioko. I could not believe it. Now this does not even resemble Esien; and they had the effrontery to really show and erect it. What is wrong with Africans these days. I guess Ben Enweonwu did not leave his tools for the young sculptures. Or may be these days the kids refuse to learn the basics.

And who do you think made those abysmal statues in Nigeria? Ghanaian artisans of course! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

BTW, don’t see much wrong with this Awolowo statue (obviously done by a Nigerian artiste :lol: )...

The honor is not in the resemblance but the increased height of the statue. They just elevated the dwarfs' status :tic: :sneaky: :twisted:

The only thing worth complaining about...but then it could have been erected by a Chelsea fan!

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14

I think Spain’s by far the best league.
