Why I Don’t Support Any Football Club – Alaafin Of Oyo

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, has explained why he does not support any football club.
The revered monarch, who said he watches football, however maintained that he does not support any football club to avoid high blood pressure and unnecessary display of emotions.
Oba Adeyemi disclosed this in an interview published by Sunday Punch.
Asked about the sport he enjoys, the monarch said, “I love all sports, except boxing . I play football very well . Back then , they used to call me ‘local Stanley Matthew ’, after the British footballer, Stanley Matthew , who played football till he was 50 years old. I don’t support any football club because I would like to maintain my blood pressure and ensure that my emotion is in check . Supporting football teams affects people emotionally. Whenever Nigeria is playing , I support them but I limit myself to that and wish other teams good luck . I am also a good boxer. I have had over 56 bouts and lost two. In my bouts , only 10 ( people ) who contested with me lasted the distance . I won the others by knockout but I have never been knocked out . Let me tell you a little secret . Inwardly, I am not a very happy person; so, boxing is an interesting outlet for me . When you have a grudge , you don’ t feel pain.”

The traditional ruler disclosed that he is not good at wooing women because of his stoicism.
He said, “I have never approached a lady ; they come to me . My first wife was a friend to my younger sister of blessed memory . My sister introduced her to me and though she wasn ’t educated , she gave me the first lawyer in our family, my son , Tunde . I truthfully do not know the art of chasing women . I don’ t go out to chase women . I am very stoic ; I seldom laugh. Most times , it is impossible to know what is going on in my mind because you cannot read my emotions on my face and women don’t like that.”
Meanwhile, the king said he would have become a lawyer if he were not the Alaafin of Oyo.
He said, “I would have been a lawyer because they are learned , not just educated like the rest of us . Lawyers are apostles trained in the temple of justice to rescue people from injustice . I would have chosen that profession because they help people more than we think . Look at the impact that has been made by the association of female lawyers who tackle the ills of domestic violence , R@pe and other related issues . They have rescued many children and exposed many wrongdoers.”
