Cette union sacrée manifestée par le mariage traditionnel de mon petit frère bien-aimé Oliver Kadji et sa charmante fiancée - auxquels je dis merci et souhaite de connaître tout le bonheur possible - était l'occasion pour moi de re-découvrir avec beaucoup d'émotions et de plaisir, la somptueuse région de l’Ouest de mon pays le Cameroun, où j'ai passé des moments inoubliables! Sur le chemin du retour, j'ai connu un malheureux accident de voiture, qui a failli me faire oublier mes pas de danse de la veille. Mais je tiens à vous rassurer, je me porte très bien. Grâces soient rendues au Seigneur, pour nous avoir sorti de là miraculeusement sans dommages corporels. ???????????????? Je vous souhaite de passer un excellent début de semaine dans la paix et merci pour vos multiples messages de réconfort! ??

“On the way back, I had an unfortunate car accident, which almost made me forget my dance moves from the night before,” part of his statement on social media read.

“But I want to reassure you, I am doing very well. Thanks be unto the Lord, for getting us out of it miraculously without physical harm.”

Eto’o played for Cameroon for 17 years winning two Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) titles and an Olympic Gold with the U-23.

His club career was even more prolific with three Champions League trophies, four league titles and several other cup titles with Barcelona and Inter Milan.



He also played for the likes of Chelsea, Everton and other clubs across Europe. He was African Player of the Year four times and once finished third in the FIFA World Player of the Year ranking.
