Liberia's President's son scored a goal for the American football team in FIFA World Cup last night. What do you say to that? Individually it's a spectacular achievement , especially when we think of how many African players play for European teams and, when it's hailed as an African team, French Ambassador has to write to Trevor Noah. While George Weah himself may come from a very humble background and brought glory to his country, but now being head of state, his son's citizenship brings up another politics altogether. What kind of role model do we have as President if the elite's children are invested in Global North. We have had same issues back home in Pakistan , where elite children go abroad and don't come back home to participate in politics and society.
