We all know that football rises a lot of passion in Nigerians. It draws people together from all tribes and strengthens our unity.

On the flipside it can also bring out nastiness in us. People have been known to commit suicide when results have not gone their way. Some time back an arsenal fan rammed a bus into innocent bystanders when his team lost a match.

A report today showed increase in domestic violence usually by men against their wives during the world cup. Alcohol related crime also rises sharply.

Lets enjoy the world cup responsibly. Its only a game at the end of the day.
