Ex Super Eagles Captain Joseph Yobo has become a writer to defend his choice of candidate for the 2015 Presidential election.
His Article with the Aforementioned title,asks his readers to look into the mirror and choose the fittest.

His article reads
''For the sake of clarity, I must first point out that while all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, it is all work and no exercise that makes him an unfit one. From all indications earlier in the week, Friday 7th March, 2015 was meant to be a busy day for members and supporters of both the ruling People's Democratic Party and the opposition All Progressives' Congress.
In Abuja, there was a scheduled fitness march to keep the blood of Nigerian sports people along with party hierarchy and President Goodluck Jonathan, buzzing. An equivalent march in Lagos, billed initially to be a million-man march of opposition members was to hold in Lagos from Maryland to Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.
As early as 8am, I and several other supporters of the President walked with him from Aso Rock to Eagle Square where we also jogged around. Some of the pictures from the walk have been swarming social media; one in particular stood out. It was that of President Jonathan doing the hop in an aerobics session. Pictures of him working out in the gym have surfaced from time to time and this further proved that the man is mentally and physically fit to rule Nigeria.
Immediately after the rally ended at 11am, he went back to the State House, freshened up and flew to pay courtesy visits to the Ooni of Ife and Owa Obokun of Ijesaland and attend rallies in their domain.Enter General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). After he and his party played hide-and-seek with Nigerians over his whereabouts, the man returned to the country and was conspicuously missing from a march that was the perfect opportunity for him and the top party brass to reassure their supporters that he was fit as a fiddle.
The job of the president of a country with over 170 million people is a a tasking one and surely it would have been convenient for a man who insists he was on a two-week rest to have at least walked with the people who will vote him for say one-thirds of the march? The party chieftains including Bola Tinubu and even its vice-presidential candidate, Prof. Yomi Osinbajo were present at the final stop, so why was the arrowhead of the campaign missing in action?
Why is the opposition shoving in our youthful faces, a grandfather who needs rest, an elder statesman who ought to be chilling in his country home in times like this? Assuming their candidate wins the presidential elections, will he disappear periodically too?
Nigerians must take a stand and decide to do what is right. Seeing is believing; we cannot saddle ourselves with a President whose health challenges will affect his output in office. General Buhari was once a gallant soldier but no one can cheat nature.
I, who by the grace of God and the support of sports loving President Jonathan led the Super Eagles to historic victory in the Africa Cup of Nations after a trophy less 19 years and having played football at the highest levels can boldly affirm that the secret to the game is in endurance, and the events of recent times point us to the fact that Nigeria needs just the man who stood and can last. The Game is on.
Joseph Yobo, was Captain of Nigeria's Super Eagles and 2014 AFCON Winner
*In Okon's voice* choi Yoseph Jobo don begin dey tiok big big grammar!

DeleteJoseph Yobo should go back to Turkey and decides what next he wants with his life, writing does not go with your destiny bro
ReplyDeleteWe're a democratic Country and each and everyone of us has the right to vote for the candidate of our choices. I hate it whenever people abuses one another because they're not in support of their own candidate
ReplyDeleteI'm just tired of Nigerians. We all av our individual opinion so if I choose not to vote for PDP or APC, how is that anybody's business? If u choose PDP, APC will insult hell outta one's life and bully u, if u choose APC, PDP will use Jona's transformation ish to wipe ur face as if it's not his responsibility
DeleteOdiegwu ohhhh wetin we no go see. Gej 2019
ReplyDeleteYobo is a correct man....
ReplyDeleteCorrect Delta pilkin....
APC made a mistake by bringing out Buhari...
Just take a look at my sexy presdo...
So fresh like water...
There's nothing like exercising...I do that every morning and I feel incomplete if I miss a day without it...
Yobo is 4rm Ogoni in Rivers state... not Delta!
DeleteYesterday tinubu was spreading money at Okota, chai!! But my people this man Tinubu dey Ugly ohhh, I was like See this man with his Big Eye ball ohhh, I carry my belle run, I don't want my baby to resemble what I don't know
ReplyDeleteShey na him give u belle wey ur pikin go resemble am smh 4 u ooh
DeleteHahaha, thank God say u run o. Tinubu was sharing money? APC? If it is PDP, we won't hear anything again...change my foot
DeleteShut up. He's ugly but despite how beautiful you look, can you match Tinubu's wife?
DeleteHahahaha @ Running away with her belly. Match thiefubu wife? Hello sorry! Are u alright? I reserve my comment about Remi
DeleteRme......
ReplyDeleteVote for Remi of Kowa party....let's give a woman chance to do what the men have failed to do.
This would have been a good candidate but she isn't popular, her party is not known.
DeleteInstead of them to face pertinent issues and solve, they keep giving us frivolities.
ReplyDeleteWho cares about a president that can jog and run when I did not have electricity throughout the night.
They keep thinking that the electorates are the ones on social media. Forgetting that they are just minute.
The people that will go out to vote don't see nor read all these nonsense.
Better luck to them.
During Obasanjo's 8 yrs in office were u having constant light?
DeleteWe didn't have steady light during Obasanjo's time, but Jonathan was supposed to make it better. Now it's at an all time worse. I run my Gen 24hrs a day.
Delete24hrs a day? Ok
DeleteHmmm, hv been sleepin in darkness n heat. True power supply wasn't constant in obj admin but wasn't non existing like in gej admin. We voted gej in so dat things wud b beta but den d reverse is d case. If gej or any oda person in power fails 2 fulfil deir promises den dey will b voted out. We r tired of eking out our existence like dis...no productivity!!! We Nigerians deserve betta...I feel pity wen I c pple living d way we do in dis country.

DeleteThe game is on...nice one Yobo!
ReplyDeleteWhere ur treasure is there lies ur heart
ReplyDeleteI see politics nows pays ur bill.
ReplyDeleteAn own goal scorer.
ReplyDeleteA clubless tout.
A worthless piece of shit, according to David Moyes.
It's amazing how money can change people's tunes.
I don't blame him for this anyways, Adaeze has to keep up with the showing off on instagram.
Your President is physically fit but mentally unbalanced. A wicked soul. Quiet but heartless.
Fayose has his blessings but must ensure he doesn't mention his involvement.
He tells his goons what to do then denies that they are speaking for themselves.
Telling the Northerners that they should wait till 2019 only shows they have sinister plans in mind.
Stop attacking Buhari, he's not the only presidential candidate.
Let Jonathan's works speak for him.
Yobo, keep quiet and attend to your pregnant wife.
BTW, Adaeze wrote this.
If Yobo did, the apocalypse is nearer than we think.
Shut up the fuck if Adaeze wrote it so what? You dull brain, He must be paid before He supporters GEJ
DeleteYou are a big blog Tout and reason from your Anus. Why are you supporting APC? Yoruba Tribalistic Goat
Thiis ugly darkness disguised as sunshine. I hope you have a mirror at home,pls always take a good look at yourself before you curse people.You are always badmouthing people,yet you look like a shrine. Why did you remove dat your monster looking pix? Even without d pix,we can still smell d stench of your ugliness! Try not to be heaping your frustration on innocent people. Olodo
DeleteYobo has spoken the mind of every right thinking Nigerian. Brace up the trolls are coming. Meanwhile, Even Buhari's wife will be the worst fool not to vote for President GEJ. During Buhari's dictatorship government, no woman was among his over 200 ministers, special advisers, aids etc. #Never again will Nigerian women be treated as slaves!
ReplyDeleteWhether Gmb is too old, sick or no certificate is not an issue. He is the opposition in this democratic process. Yobo n co. Has only succeeded in garnering sympathy fans 4 Gmb n this has increase his fan base tremendously. Pdp campaigners shud sell us GEj's achievements n benefits of this administration bcos Gej has done a lot which is not known.
ReplyDeleteEmphasizing n pointing at d weaknesses of d opposition only make them more popular than d incumbent.
Exactly my point...all gej supporters do is hurl insult n sentiments
DeleteYobo believes in GEJ just like myself.
ReplyDeleteWe all have the right to stand our ground on who we believe is the messiah.
And that right and fittest one is GEJ.

Yobo pls don't listen to haters,you have every right to choose who you want to campaign for
ReplyDeleteHe was able to raise his legs unlike others.
ReplyDeleteYobo when nau?
Since football isn't paying his bills anymore, I guess this one is better for him. His choice.
ReplyDeleteGej all d way! Apc should stop complaining of pdp talking bad about dem bc de started it all. De should av just do dia normal campaigne n not talk bad about someone or blame someone. Soo y re de crying now dt pdp av started exposing dia own weakness?
ReplyDeleteHe who live in glass house shouldn't throw stone.
ReplyDeleteYobo paying a "Daddy GEJ homage/support due to GEJ support during his reign as captain. Coming from same south south, he will surely support his president wether he performed well or not so everything comes down to sentiment not because his "Daddy" GEJ is doing well.
ReplyDeleteJogging is not equalled to performance and someone being young president is not an avenue to continue leading us even when The country has been misruled. People like Yobo are morally bankrupt. If you want to measure your leaders achievements do it with 30% of what you have seen in western world the past years and compare such achievement with your president's achievement. You lived in little Turkey and you saw how a country grows when you have strong leader, turkey has been growing for the past 16years because of the vision created by their leaders. We are not seeing same vision with your so called "physically healthy"president.
All round the world leadership is measured by deeds,actions, achievements not by age even in families.
If Buhari was PDP candidate am sure most of you won't complain of his age. Your so called young president could not even achieve in 6 years what Buhari achieved in 2years. I compare GEJ government to that of Shagari's government same way Buhari rescued us from Shagari's government is same way he will rescue us from Jonathan's presidency but in a democratic way not military. If APC put in Young candidates you will still complain, same applies if APC put in Christian or you all will complain as far as Jonathan is contesting wether he's doing good or not most if you want him to stay because you "HATE"anything "HAUSA". Our so called igbo people can't even bring out their own candidate they are living on Jonathan's life support (crazy people). Yobo you have made you choice we accept so allow us to make our choice most of you who support the way Nigeria is being ruled should also be ruled in their homes in similar way. No right thinking human will say we are alright when people are suffering and some are smiling to the bank just with pen and signatures. £ is at £327 today and we think all is well no way, exchange rate will not come down because nothing comes down in Nigeria. Everything is at standstill because of election postponement. Our educational system is a shame even our so called PHD holder oversaw ASUU longest strike in the history of Nigeria same man that passed through the system.
We all can't sell our souls because of sentiments, i believe in good leadership and Nigeria need strong leaders vision 20/20 is non achievable with current state. Jonathan promised not to continued after 4years, so he should give way for more competent person to lead us. Those who support our collective sufferings are those who benefits from same rot created by the government and those who are scared of Buhari's presidency are those who know they will lose all when he is elected.
Oginikwa ka onye awusa nkea na akogheri? Jaymoore,abi jaysmall..jee zue ike. Nwoke 100naira richard card! U just ended up wasting space here with ur long & dry epistle.
DeleteLoL
DeleteBuhari said he won't contest again in 2011? What makes him a Honourable Man?What are you saying? Buhari achieved what? Or spoilt the Ecomomy of Nigeria btw 1983 to 1985. If you don't know ask. Rather the money achieved from pdtf he used it for the Northerns only and "STOLE" the rest.
Buhari "CAN NEVER" Rule Nigeria Again. Hoha.
2019 a younger Northern will bounce out and we will vote for him.
Chinyelu,pls educate dat onye awusa well. He tends to be reasoning through his anus atimes. GEJ till 2019!!
DeleteRespect. JayMoore you are the best.

Very well written Jaymoore and space well utilized!
DeleteFlex already gave you Koni the best reply
DeleteYobo, master of own goal, what do you do when no club is willing to sign you on and your career is dead, operation talk or show your face and get paid. Mandela became south african president at 75, Moses led isreal out of Egypt at 80. Those who are against Buhari because of his age should pray not to grow old, they can kpeme at 50. However, keeping fit is a personal thing, it has nothing to do with governance. Enough of those keeping fit to steal our resources. The mad men on our streets are also fit, dem sabi waka from Ajah to Maryland sef.
ReplyDeleteRotflmao
DeleteShut up its you that will die. No one has wished him Death. We are saying he is too Old to rule Nigeria now
DeleteLololololol....truth spoken
DeleteAnnoy 11.36. You no go die better sef. He is too old to rule , yet foolish people like you won't stop comparing your Shina rambo president to late Madiba who became president at 75. Don't hide under among to curse your generation, when you want to beg for recharge cards you will not hide under anony. You no go reach Buhari's age. Omo ale.
DeleteYou and ur Generation will be cut short from the surface of the Earth and it wil be a painful one. You are stupid to say such Negative and baise comment
DeleteWho are you? A witch that flies in the Day @ Omo Naija
*anony.
DeleteHahahaha! Nice one
DeleteGEJ is soo fit infact overfit! March 4 jona
ReplyDeleteWell written Jaymoore.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you.
AS Julius AGwa said,there is hunger in the land..........but...........
ReplyDeleteJay Moore has said it all. Nigerians will be making decisions based on sentiments, same sentiments that has continued taking us backwards - unemployment all time high, corruption all time high, terrorism and insecurity all time high and people want another 4 years of this, abi?! Una never see anything.
ReplyDeleteWho gives a hoot how fit Jonathan is, like seriously
who cares?! With all his fitness, what has he done?
As for Yobo, I have no words for him, he can afford to fly his family out of the country at any point in time, the average poor Nigerian cannot, so oga just take a seat pls. People who are ready to sell the future of their country for peanuts. I want a country my children will be proud of, not this sham we have right now.
So Buhari,Thiefnubu & co will magically provide d so called country ur children will be proud of? Pls,wake up from ur deep slumber!
DeleteWhile you can also continue in your own deep slumber. Eod
DeleteHahaha @men are fit they can trek from ajah to maryland. Kikiki
ReplyDeletethey keep talking about buhari's age and fitness,what has that got to do with good governance?
ReplyDeleteThese days we have young men in their 40's dying of kidney failure,diabetics,cancer and what have you..
That GMB is 72 doesn't make him unhealthy and unfit to govern..
What have we gained from jonathan's 6yrs administration with his muscles and six packs?
People should leave sentiments out of this..
I'm south south but I cannot support GEJ based on that..
All I want is change..
If a 72 year old man can bring about the much needed change,that would be grand..
Thank you oh. See them harping on age as if that's the point. It's about performance and Gej has not performed. Simple
DeleteFunny how people are hyperventilating all over this post. How many of you have electricity at home? How many of you have cousins, brothers and sisters unemployed, how many of you can travel safely to the North? How many of you can visit the hospitals and be sure you will receive sound treatment? I pity you ppl ehn, what's my own, I kukuma don't live in Nigeria, will just be watching the sufferhead from a distance
ReplyDeleteGEJ the Magican will fix all of them immediately. Dull brains. Tinubu is about to sell Nigeria to Ghana.
DeleteK na.
ReplyDeleteFOOLISHNESS!!!Nigeria is on fire. They are showing infantile pictures. Are we kids!!!! What future does this country hold for the young ones. No jobs. No plans. Federal Ministries delayed salaries for almost a month. The country is broke and they are showing staged pictures. One wonders what will be left after 4 more years of Jonathan. I will be voting for Buhari WARTS AND ALL!!!
