Former Ghana Black Stars team player, Michael Essien, has come under a barrage of criticisms following the death of his former football colleague Junior Agogo.

However, rather than touch hearts, Essien’s post has landed on the bad nerves of some people who have not failed to attack him.

They said they were disappointed in him for turning his back on Agogo at the time he needed him most, but now that he was dead, he was paying tributes to him.

Nabsy and Kwaku, for instance, were not happy Essien addressed Agogo as colleague instead of brother:

itz_nabsy:He’s not your colleague!!...why address him like a foreigner? He’s your brother!!! To the outside world, he’s your brother!!! Ahhhh, woama mewer3 aho papa @michaelessien.”

kwaku_kyei_baffour67: "He is your brother not colleague ,you described him as strenger you people could have done better. now he is gone."

slimbertthug: “This is not necessary when he was sick you should have been there to support him now that he is dead you guys posting as if you cared so much .all this Rip can’t bring him back show love to the living and not the dead shame to ya all,”

Wilshere asked Essien to stop showing off:

ibwilshere10:Masa shunned your self u abandoned him during his difficult tyms and now u are claiming supremacy... I'm very disappointed in you he claims u guys were best friends.”

Ango was not happy either:

ango_no_trust: “When Junior Agogo was sick no one even spoke about him or how he is doing, He died today and he is on your status. How many times did the media even posted his well being and how the world should support #CRAZY_WORLD... They Will Wait Till You Die So They Can Post You Everywhere For The World To See....
