Manchester United suffered a humiliating 4-0 fall in the hands of Brentford after a 2-1 loss in their first Premier League 2022/23 match against Brighton and Hove Albion few days ago, making it their second consecutive defeat in the new season under new Dutch pro manager Erik Ten Hag.
Orji Kalu posted on social media: “For the first time in 84 years Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat to Brentford.
“Definitely not a good time for Man U and its fans, I hope they get back on track and on time as one can only imagine what will happen when they face Liverpool next week”.
The comments that followed after his post:
“Senator, your own defeat is awaiting you come 2023, that’s how you and your co masters will lose the 2023 elections. Everyone is Obidient now. APC is gone forever”, Mayor Sam wrote.
“Senator, this is how your party will lose the presidential election come Feb 2023”, Igbonna Efoke wrote.
The APC Chieftain fired back:
“Instead of Nigerian youths to face what the business is all about, they are facing what is not the business. When we talk Man City, they should reply to the club not to be abusing a statesman like me that this is how my party will end and all that.
“We should learn. You don’t insult your elders and become successful. I don’t want to curse anybody in Nigeria because I didn’t behave like this as a youth.
“When I was 25, I was already very successful so if I see youths who should be chatting with a statesman like me that they have lots of ideas are now joking with it. It is not fair on me”.
