Yobo Sues Complete Sports Paper; Asks For N500m Damages

What damages?? It's prolly for the money they made off selling the papers and also the amount of marketing deals he'll lose when Nigerians start pinpointing him as the cause of the failure of the Super Eagles to qualify.
He's the captain of the Super Eagles and a premiership star, he most definitely makes more than £2mil a year in marketing.

A damages claim against you will not be up to that . . . why?? Because you're not losing nothing from getting your face on paper for allegedly organising a party.
He's probablygoing to lose his major source of income because of that.

Let him have a rethink

  :oI tire for some Nairalanders oooo, because Nigeria lost a world cup match does it mean Joseph Yobo should be stripped of his right to defend himself for whatever reason best known to him? If he feels aggrived he has taken the right step by suing for damages and that doesnt mean the judge will award him all the N500 million should he win. Its part of the lawlessness that is prevalent in our society,anything goes whether true or false!

 It baffles me why an average Nigerian is always  afraid of taking his/her case to court, this is why our leaders keeps feeding us with shit and we cant stand up to them,we are somehow "Court timid".

Do you know what it means to have a lie printed about you and pasted on the front page of a newspaper.

Please leave Yobo to defend himself and stop blaming him for super eagles failure, because he didnt put a gun to anybody's head to be selected into the team or to be made the captain of the team either!

And CS had better get their facts right for a proper defense or else they will be a scapegoat for junk journalism that is prevalent in Nigeria.

I love what yobo is doing. This will go a long way in bringing sanity to our print and electronics media who have been misleading us with false information. Lots of journalists in nigeria are brown envelope journalists who collect money from mediocre players so that the will get national recognition.

 Let's give Yobo a break. He has the right to sue; is that not part of his Human right? Why can't Nigerians understand that? I'm not in support of either party ( the defendant or prosecutor), but i feel he has the right to straighten things out. Let us all act maturely instead of insulting Yobo for whatever reason(s).
Many of our journalists and sports commentators are not properly trained. This could act as a warning to them.

I wish I could see that stupid Yobo and slap him. He's angry with the truth! Idiot.

He should stop coming to play for super-eagles, if he does not come, someone else would play better than him.


Guy a big fool for posting this i swear,yobo has being very helpful to our national team since he became a member and
the way you people should be grateful to him you fools are saying shit about him!!!dumb skulls,snitch!!!!

Thanks complete sports this will make all dem super eaglets who aint taking the national team serious, to rethink. I dont like the non chalant atitude most of them display when they are playing in the national team. Its the Nigerian national team for crying out loud not their local village teams. As for yobo or yogo or yoyo whatever, dont give him a dime, let him go make Nigerians proud.
