Uche Jombo
Actress, screenwriter and movie producer, Uche Jombo Rodriguez has not hidden her love for Argentine professional footballer, Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini who plays as a forward and captains both Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team.
The 40-year-old Abia State-born Mathematics and Statistics graduate from the University of Calabar publicly displayed her naked love for the 33-year old No 10 jersey leather tapper on Wednesday, June 24 which was the bearded footballer’s birthday.
The mother of one (a son by name Matthew) went on the social media as she tweeted,
“Happy birthday to the greatest of all time! Naturally gifted and one more reason to love football. Messi love.”
A surprised fan asked Uche: “What made you to love Messi like this?” No response.
However, another fan suggested turning Messi’s birthday to what he called World Football Day.
“Lionel Messi has done a lot for football and indeed the world at large. June 24 should be reserved and celebrated annually by the entire world. It should be tagged ‘World Football Day’,” tweeted the fan.
Yet another Messi’s devotee fan of Uche said: “Happy birthday my king.”
All for the love of Messi!
