"Golhabo's red team has won" said Maaburey

Today he is wearing red underwear, red shorts, and a red jersey with another Man's name printed very large on the back. He colored his face with something that looks like our flag. For the past few days he has been carrying a flag with him. Riding his Wave look-alike motorcycle all around Male'. Singing songs like 'Footbolhain Mulhi Gaumah Faidhaa Hoadhaaney...' (whole country profiting from football). A song which the state owned TV Maldives (GolhaTV) has been playing over and over again. This songs makes Maaburey really feel that by winning in football on a tournament which six or seven of the world's lowest football ranking countries participated in can make his life better.

He's living in a 3 bedroom apartment with 15 family members and a maid. Each room with LCD TV and one room with one aircond. Maaburey's mother who has gone for two Hajjs in her life is waiting to to go to India for a major surgery when she gets the funding arranged.

Maaburey is a football. He drinks football juice he eats football. Maaburey plays Playstation football in his free time. Just like every other intelligent Maldivian. Maaburey is a football fan. Specially when it comes to supporting the national Team.

Maaburey is also a huge MDP supporter. But today there is no MDP or DRP. Everyone is united behind the number one. The goal keeper.

After watching a loud match on TV today Maaburey jumped up to the sky and said "Golhab's red team has won". It was a moment he felt one with number one. And everything started to flash in front of his eyes. After 29 years of waiting Golhabo's team has managed to win. And now Maaburey's shouting and running around on his Wave look-alike bike. All over male'. I asked him if he's drunk like the rest of the others.

We love our Golhabo's team. And will give a great welcome back to Golhabo and his team. And this will make Golhabo win the election too. If we want our team to win, keep the number one, the number one! The population likes to get drunk on Golhabo! Most still fall for Golhaa's traps. The rest of us just has to wait, another 5, 10, 30 or a 1000 years more.

It is not Golhabo's team. But I also wonder why Golhabo has the number one shirt. So prolly even if he's not playing on the field or on the bench it is his team....???????

The team should not have given the number one shirt to Golhabo. It's something that makes the players look so bad. A Golha team which he is using for propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the team loves the Maldivians as the Maldivians supported the team. The team should appologize for gifting the shirt to Golhabo. Team should not associate themself with Golhabo or his dictator party. If not the people who supported the team will hate the team more! Shame on the team!!!!

Most of the Maldivians are not educated. We are seeing this very clearly now. Idiots like the 3rd Anonymous who gets few words from watching some action movies are making up the most who supported the Golha team. Yes it is the Golha Team. Why don't we all come out and try to support to get proper sewerage systems and safe drinking water for the people? We are ok as long as Golha Team wins and we spend millions wasting our money.

We are deprived of our right of freedom of expression. This is probably a way to the country to vent out. Go Golha Team.

Oh please,give the man a break!Even at this time of unified joy,you wish to sow the seeds of dissent among us?Just what is it with people like you?If you agree that football is in Maldivian life blood,why can't you understand that the president of our nation might love it just as much?Now your joy&mine isn't important enough to be high lighted upon,but he is SOMEBODY.Someone who has done a LOT to improve the sacred game in the Maldives.People know that&actually appreciate it.Stop reading too much controversy theories-Not every move someone makes has a ulterior motive behind it.Just grit your teeth&accept that when it comes to the game of football,EVERYONE of us see eye to eye.If you have an agenda of your own against the president,reschedule it&do it on your own time&on some other ocassion.Because this TIME&MOMENT belongs to ALL OF US.If you have a problem just simply sharing&being a part of it,fine,but stop whining&bitching(funny how so much better men are at the job!).Whether you like it or not,WE are all in this together.I'm off to celebrate.YAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!!!

To the home sick daughter of the Maldive isles,

You seem to be on every blog post expressing your delight. Good to know that you prefer and long for unity. Bad to know that you dont have the faintest idea of what really unites the people as one.

What you are witnessing isnt unity. What you are witnessing isnt nationalism. What you are witnessing definitely isnt patriotism.

What you are witnessing is the explosive discharge joyful emotions by a group of people deprived from the very basic right to express by way of life and by way of politics. Such momentaneous, short lived screams and lorry rides going around 2 square kilomiter for 24 hours isnt what unites a country. It is neither a symbol nor a beckon of hope that you long for. People like you and I can easily mistake this kind of transient euphoria for oneness because we gravely yearn for it. But the reality is, we didnt come out on the streets because we love this country as a nation. We came out partly beause of, as expressed by one commenter on another blog, "Monkey sees it, Monkey does it" and partly because we needed an excuse simply to enjoy ourselves.

In conclusion, it isnt all that bad since so many got out - misguided or not - and enjoyed it even though it is under the false pretense of national unity.
