Dedicated To Jay Jay Okocha

 

Life isn't always about winning 

This what I say to those who're thinking

That Jay Jay in spite of Fame is over hyped

Cos they're crude to know that such hotshots are archetyped

 

Just like Tyson made many fell in love with boxing

And Jackson made many fell in love with dancing

Okocha was the reason many Nigerians watched football

And the reason in competitions FIFA didn't want Nigeria to fall

 

The world may forget Platini, Madini and Totti

But the world won't forget Ronaldo, Christiano and Messi

The world will forget many in spite of their wins

But won't forget Pele, Maradona, Okocha and Ronaldinho for many reasons

 

There are some talents that aren't meant for trophies

But their impacts offer great psychotherapies

Like the legendary Bob Marley who didn't win a Grammy

Or Achebe who never won a Noble Prize in spite of his ability

 

Austin would've been treated differently if he were a white

Watching Jay Jay gave the world a great delight

Africans had Okocha underrated 

He deserves more respect than the responses in what people debated

 

Since football is about inclusion, respect and entertainment

Jay Jay Okocha gave us that and that's an achievement

Since football is the best entertainment around the world

Jay Jay gave us memories that put him on top of the world.
