Man Utd's Ferdinand made Chief by King Akiolu of Nigeria
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has been granted an official title by King Akiolu in Nigeria - Chief Fiwagboola.
Ferdinand, 29, is in Lagos promoting education through football and making plans to build an academy. King Akiolu - who wore an old United shirt with his name on the back and a club scarf - conducted the ceremony at his palace. And he told the England star that Fiwagboola means 'character maketh wealth'. His title also means when United visit Nigeria next month for a friendly against Portsmouth, he will be the most important person in their squad - although boss Alex Ferguson may disagree. Ferdinand said: "I'm a little embarrassed to be named a Chief, I'm not sure I'm worthy. "It's something to tell the lads. I'm sure they'll be very happy to call me Chief." He launched the country's street soccer festival for kids and played a game against a team captained by the Governor of Lagos. The Governor said: "I hope this visit by Rio will inspire the young in our country today."  http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=97279 http://members.aol.com/Thetempleof/frame.html Last edited by bbest : 9th June 2008 at 10:22.

He will have a little gimp following him yelling "hear yee, hear yee" everytime the Chief is about to say something. This will not be well received in the half-time talks.

I was just reminded of the Mighty Boosh episode where a tribe of small blue people think Vince is the chosen one. They had a song too but I don't think it would go down to well on the terraces, something along the lines;
We love the chosen one Loving him is so much fun We love the chosen one Stick you finger up his bum |

 The Viva Rio, doesn't really go, but the rest has some potential. Plus we don't want to nick Ronaldo's song, he'll still be here next year. |

Ferdinand, in a far off land.
is a king, please don't mock it. but it certainly wont stop him keeping Torres in his back pocket. |
