YOUR BULLET HAS MISSED THE LION AND KILLED THE INNOCENT BABY.
BY: Mario Malueth Luol.
As I was hovering over my Newsfeed yesterday, I certainly came across the article written by my colleague DHAL MALUAL, bitterly describing the Gogrial West County football team slogan "GREEN FAMILY" as nonsensical, I got a lot of different opinions where others are supporting the suggestion while others are not happy with the suggestion.
This morning, I decided to add my opinion as a "Response" to your transformational article so long as I'm a native son from Warrap State, particularly Gogrial West county.
Before I dive in, Let me take you back to Europe, I'm a big fan of Manchester United as you do, one of the best teams in the world and some parts of the universe.
Manchester United is traditionally associated with the color red, while Chelsea is associated with the color blue. This is due to the team's kit colors and fan bases. The term "red devils" is often used to refer to Manchester United fans, while Chelsea fans are sometimes called "the blue army."
Whenever we win a game, we fearlessly Chanted Manchester is Red 🔴or London is Red. And whenever Chelsea wins, fans say Sky is blue🔵 or London is blue. The same thing applies to Manchester City.
Why?
It's because of the team's kit colors.
Vividly, Gogrial West county football team leadership and their fans are innocent, they just borrowed " Green Family " from the official logo of the County " palm 🌴" which is absolutely "Green" and also their team's kit.
They don't have as low thinking capacity as you scripted in your article. They are real sailors and their boat will never sink. Gogrial West county football team fans are trying very hard to make sure that everyone is happy in Gogrial West together with our Players.
REASONS why I disagree with your proposed slogans.
1: THE TRINITY, Gogrial West is not Trinity, Gogrial West is composed of 4 communities, Kuac Ayok, Awan Chan, Aguok Kuei and Awan Mou.
Awan Muorkuau is not a community, it's the Union that has shielded Awan Chan, and Awan mou Ring, that means Gogrial West county has 4 communities. Don't neglect Awan Mou. I even don't understand why Awan mou doesn't participate every year in Gogrial Communities' Peace Tournament while it's an independent community.
So Gogrial West is no longer a Trinity ( 3 in one body). No argument.
2: THE SAINTS, Gogrial West has a rich history indeed, but naming it as "THE Saints" is an abuse to the communities of Gogrial West.
All Communities of Gogrial West are not Christians, many have centered their lives in serving African traditional shrines, and you want to unite them, can this slogan unite them? No, I don't think so.
They are even good people, they would have done away with Christianity.
If it's because of the recent anniversary of St Joseph Parish in Kuajok that prompted you to suggest Gogrial West as the Saints, you are devaluing none Christian and they are the ones who have Gogrial West.
On top of that, I want to remind you that there are people who still don't believe in the European God as they perceive it.
It's like coming as a visitor and starting ordering the owner of the house to evacuate the place.
I think " THE Saints" will never unite the Gogrial West football team .
3: THE CITY OF REFUGE, well, I don't have a lengthy argument on this particular slogan as long as it's harmless.
Kuajok is a town owned by a peaceful community, Kuac Ayok of Gogrial West. But naming it as a city of refuge because of safety isn't a unifying factor.
Kuajok was chosen to be the headquarters of Warrap State not because it's the safe place, but because of the fruitful consensus reached between the Communities of Greater Gogrial and The Communities of Greater Tonj.
Because Greater Gogrial and Greater Tonj are what we call "Warrap State".
So Kuajok was chosen as headquarters of the State as recognition of Greater Gogrial. Because the State name "Warrap" comes from Greater Tonj.
Meaning, Greater Tonj chose the state name "Warrap " from their side and automatically Greater Gogrial hosted the State since the name of the State "Warrap " isn't from Greater Gogrial.
It doesn't mean that Tonj Town or Warrap Town was insecure to host the state headquarters.
4: THE ZOO, it's a good suggestion 🤞though I have some points to touch on.
BONUS:
Renaming isn't an easy thing, Gogrial West county is not the only Gogrial to sit and suggest the unifying name. They are just part and parcel of it, you need to sit together as a Gogrial Umbrella and suggest that, because we have other Communities of Gogrial apart from Gogrial West Communities, include them too. If it's Gogrial West alone, there's another possible way to suggest it but I will not disclose it here.
MY SUGGESTION:
When you want to solve the problem, first, Identify the root cause.
As Mario, if you guys want to solve this problem and unite the communities of Gogrial West county, don't judge and lower the leadership of the Gogrial West football team with their fans for being dull in this case.
I challenge you guys to try your best to change the official logo of Gogrial West County being used by the County Commissioner.
If you think "GREEN" is nonsensical, then the official logo of Gogrial West county Commissioner is automatically nonsensical.
Why?
It's because this is where our beloved fans of Gogrial West county football team borrowed it from.
If you guys think " Green" is useless, you are also telling us that the official county logo our commissioner is using is useless as well.
There's no way you can change the "Green " without changing the county logo.
If you want to rename your illegitimate child, put it in your mind that you will have a problem with the man who impregnated the mother.
(Mario Malueth Luol's quote).
Why?
He can claim his child anytime and divorce the mother.
Period!
In a nutshell, kindly form the official committee headed by those who want to unite Gogrial West via logo, captain from Gogrial West football team to represent the voices of his players, Gogrial West football team leader to represent the voices of the team officials,Call the commissioner of Gogrial West county, and debate it in the Council of Ministers in Kuajok. You will get medicine.
Try it guys, if you want to bring a permanent solution to Gogrial West county football team.
If you think there's a problem in the term "GREEN🟢" I personally apologize to you, isn't not from Gogrial West county football team leadership and its fans, it's from the State government of Warrap and you need to follow it there if you guys need a durable solution to the confusion that has invaded Gogrial West county football team.
I don't say Green should not be changed, but I say the problem is in the state government who approved that logo to be used county wide. Our Players, our fans and their management are innocent.
Your bullet has missed the lion brother DHAL MALUAL, and you have killed the innocent human baby in an attempt to help the baby.
I rest my case here.
Much appreciation to you guys for taking your time to read my article.
