It is barely 3 days after Kenya's richest footballer, Victor Wanyama, was honoured by the Tanzanian government as they named a street after him.

With great excitement, Wanyama took to social media to express how he felt further appreciating them for honouring him in a special way.

“Nitoe shukrani zangu za dhati kwa Mayor na wakaazi wote wa Manispaa ya Ubungo kwa kunikaribisha na kulipatia jina langu barabara ya mtaa wa NHC. Naahidi kurudi tena na Ahsanteni sana kwa ukarimu na makaribisho mlionipa. Asante Tanzania.”Wanyama wrote

Today, many woke up to the news that the street post had been pulled down. What a shocker!

According to Amani Sizya, the representative of Ubungo NHC, the street where Wanyama had been named after, the protocol to naming the street after him was not followed, thus bringing the post down.

Amani said as quoted by Mseto ea

“Kila jambo linautaratibu wake hata ukitaka kubadilisha jina la barabara lazima ufuate utaratibu kwa hiyo hakukuwa na utaratibu uliofuatwa unajua ilikuwa haraka sana, lakini niseme tuu kwamba hili litafanikiwa na mtaa huo utatumika kwa jina hilo wakifuata taratibu"

The move seems to have elicited mixed reactions from football fans, but it is not clear if the post will be put back or not.
