The former African footballer who is worth over $100million, said he had gone in search of a watch worth over $15,000 but said the shop assistant looked at them suspiciously and reluctantly allowed them to view the watches. 

''I went to go buy a watch at a jewellers, not too far from my house. The watch I wanted to see was expensive. I asked the saleswoman - who was also black - ''Could you show me that watch please?’ First, I saw her turn to her co-workers like, ''Uh, what should I do?'' Eventually, she let me see the watch. I looked at it and said, ''OK, I’ll buy it.'' I took out my credit card and when she went to go run it through the machine, she came back and said it was declined.”

Eto'o, who is the 7th-richest footballer currently playing, said he asked her: ''Was it declined or did you not want it to be accepted?''

''My brother asked, ''What’s going on?'' And she said, ''Nothing, nothing.'' But he said, ''No, because when I came in, I saw how all of you were looking at us ... My brother can afford this and the way you’re treating him shows that you think just because he’s black, he can’t afford this watch.''

''The woman then slipped up and said, ‘No, it’s just that we had some Nigerians in the store the other day who came in with fake credit cards. I don’t know if you can imagine the weight of what she said. If one of my own makes a mistake, they judge us all. I don’t think she’s a racist person, but she stereotyped all black people as ‘those people’.''

Yes or Yes: These Chelsea Strikers are reliable

For some weeks, the potency of these three strikers (Samuel Etoo, Demba Ba and Fernando Torres) have been questioned by the club manager, fans and even supporters at large owing to their performance in recent times.

Reports have also suggested that some of these strikers will not remain at the club next season.

They are being paid to score goals, but goals can only be scored when given playing time.
Demba Ba was brought on with about 25minutes left against PSG and he proved to be the messiah. The question now is, do the have strikers or not? Or MOU simply doesn't believe in them anymore?
