Luis Enrique, the two-time Spanish national team manager, seems to have borrowed a leaf from the book of Rochas Okorocha, the two-time governor of Imo state, in his handling of the Spanish national team and squad selection practices.
In December 2017, Rochas Okorocha the then governor of Imo state announced his sister Mrs Ogechi Ololo as the Minister of happiness and purpose fulfilment, in a move that cannot be said to be unprecedented in the Nigerian political landscape, but one that does not carry the usual guile and finesse of past nepotic practices, it was blatant.
Spain were knocked out by Morocco on penalty shoot outs in a game where they, as usual, had the bulk of possession but lacked cutting edge in front of goal.
