Liberia: It is quite evident; ex-footballer George Weah wants political power in Liberia. Weah, best known as FIFA’s Player of the Year in 1995, entered the political arena in 2005 and ran for president of his native country. Back then, Weah’s supporters said his lack of formal education was the reason for his loss. So, in 2006, Weah decided to head back to high school for a diploma. The following year, he enrolled in college – according to his critics, these were all done in an insistent quest for political power.
