And like George Weah, anyone who knows his story is aware of his grim struggle against poverty and misfortune; of growing up in a slum community of Clara Town, so there was no luck there. In the final analysis, if ever a man deserved his success that man is Weah, as the evidence has shown. So at an early age, Weah chose to leave his country to start his career in Cameroon; and that was not luck. In fact, the Ibo people have a proverb that says “when a man says yes, his chi says yes also.” Weah said yes very strongly, so his chi agreed. To sum up the George Weah story: He did not have the start in life which many men would usually have.
