No doubt, no one would be battling an eye lid if he were to just be another face on the face of the earth...in fact, even the house fly would dare not loose the sweet taste of its food over this matter but hey, he is one of the world's soccer legend, a press food and any day anytime, will be feasted on...take it or leave it!
The Michael Essien Vs Dad saga seems not be anywhere near end.
After the photos of the actual living conditions of the biological dad of Michael Essien hit the newswave, the whole gossipville seem to want more and more...various pressmen have gone out of their way, searching for more materials that in everyway will increase their sales...One of such media house, the very one that actually broke the news went in search of the mother, Madam Aba Gyanode.
The paper got to her plush residence at Gbawe Gravel Junction in Accra[Ghana] only to be told that she has decided not to speak on the issue and would also not open her home for the cameras of any journalist.
A hairy dark-skinned good-looking young man that looks just like Michael Essien told the paper: “No, she won't speak. No way!” he said, with a clenched fist, pointing skywards and his fore finger wagging.
Peeping into the compound, News-One saw what looked like a dark coloured Porsche Cayenne and two other saloon cars.
There was also a DSTV Satellite dish and ornamental trees along the fence walls which had barbed wires perfectly woven on them.
Michael's parents separated when he was about two and a half years old.
News-One gathered that Essien bought the mansion for his mother when he signed for French club Bastia in 2000. He also bought her a vehicle.
Until then reports say she baked and sold bread to look after Michael and her other children.
Meanwhile the dad, James Essien, is languishing in a dilapidated mud house, with a decaying leg.
James Essien has expressed strong emotions about meeting the son who he claims he had not seen for six years.
“Oh I want to see him. We should live as father and son. It is not that I am interested in burdening him with my problems. I was taking care of myself before Michael was born and since then I still take care of myself.
Look I was born on 28th September 1932 so I am not a small boy and there is very little I still expect from this life. But Michael is my son, my blood, the one that makes me proud all over the world and I must at least be made to feel like a father and not a stranger to him.
“I would want him to know I still love him as my child. I follow his career and all his games. In fact there are things I want to tell him as a father; things I want to tell him in person,” James Essien noted.
