Former Inter defender reveals he turned to dark arts
Now a pastor, Taribo West admits he turned to voodooists and magicians to help him during his playing days
by Gazzetta World Staff ,
@GazzettaWorld 11/02/2016, 10:36
One of Serie A’s notorious hard men in his brief spell with Inter, Taribo West still appears to be as eccentric as ever.
The Nigerian international will be remembered by the Nerazzurri faithful for his injury-time quarter-final winner against Schalke in the 1998 UEFA Cup, which they went on to win after defeating Lazio in the final.
While West will was most noted for his wild tackles and funky hairstyles that rendered Abel Xavier’s mundane, the 41-year-old has revealed he utilised magic and rituals during his playing days, and claims that these practices are still prominent among players and coaches.
“Of course I was involved, I don’t know why people decline to talk about their involvement with charms,” said West.
“Football has to do with a lot of powers. When there are big events, you look at the stadium, you see people, fans invoking all kinds of things; magicians are there, voodooists are there.
“In my playing days, when I was ignorant, I used to get some mallams and babalawos (spiritual men) to make charms for us, which we took to the national camp. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.
“I saw it, I experienced it, I was with players that used it and I used it. So, why are people denying it? There are charms and rituals in football. It still exists.”
West now spreads the word of God as a pastor, a far cry from his previous attempts to promote the dark arts of sorcery.
“I spend most of my time at home meditating,” he stated. “All I want to do is to keep spreading the gospel in my own little way.
“When I had an encounter with God, I became born again. I discovered that those powers were powerless.
“It was an avenue to collect money from us. There are lots of voodoo practices in football. If you are not with God, you have to be with the devil.”
"Yesh I did provide some of my powers to help Moratti deal with Juve"
"So yeah I did use black magic to influence Calciopoli, I like to believe I single handely destroyed our rivals"

I knew there was something magic about Inter those days.What's next ?

Re: Former Inter defender reveals he turned to dark arts
for what its worth, it didn't work or he was scammed. all that dark magic talk is ridiculous; inter won very little if anything in that time period, and they had so many stars at that. also his time in serie a wasn't so glamorous (besides the hairstyle), i'd have asked for a refund if i were him....calciopoli would happen what? almost ten years later? before that juve had won a couple of league titles and been to ucl finals a couple of times. i think even milan who had a poorer team on paper than inter won some titles too.lol he'd have been probably gained more using performance injections than going the magic route. even p.e.d's won't teach u how to defend all of a sudden; not to mention magic, this isn't space jam

in football? yeah. remember pepe the witch doctor? if u can't jump over a foot long seat, no form of magic is going to make you michael jordan. i saw taribo play at inter, damn, now that i look back, the "magic" may have just been working the opposite way....unless the "magic" was done so he doesn't get too many red cards; which, going by that piece, wasn't the case

What does this mean? "Shaking my dick head"? (:
The d word also counts as profanity (since a certain person who shall not me named got his warning level reduced for it) so you should try following the rules too (:

What about Batman's Dick Grayson?
BTW in German, "dick" is the term for "fat". I remember that once I got autokicked for profanity by some bot in an international IRC channel when I was there with another German user and I mentioned in German that "Drinking too many cocktails can make you fat" XD
