but i will be back by excatly 6 pm this evening.
let me spend some hours with my family for now.

kokoA: Do coporate bodies sponsoring other FAs around the world interfer with their activities?

Meanwhile, I am insupport of the government's move. It is high time NFF get up and start sourcing funds for themselves.

winiwini: That will be better, no more illegal corruption

barthchuks: pls do we have "legal" corruption?

hazyfm:
I thought u were dying??
U just spoiled my imagination

My inchoate thoughts:

The UK has a lower power distance because the society is more skewed towards socialism than USA which is pure capitalist.

The reetards are even refusing a free healthcare system.

UK has adopted a bit of socialism because of is higher ethnic homogeneity, the smaller population size and geography, its closeness to other socialist European nation and the rebelling against the old aristocratic system. US have challenges different to this.

The little bit of socialism and less capitalism has led to more favourable labour laws, which means I can basically tell my boss to fck off and I might still not get sacked .....joking. And they also have a generous welfare system.

In the US, they have looser labour laws and people can get fired more easily, which would mean you will naturally kiss arsse more. Worse still, when they have less generous welfare system if you lose your means of income. Secondly, capitalism also increases the divide between rich and poor, which would also add to the arsse kissing, hence more power distance.

Because of lack of aristocratic past and low homogeneity, then social mobility is likely to be more merit based. Unlike the UK where everyone on top is from a narrow clique of wealthy family and who all went to Oxbridge. Only about 1 former UK PM in the last 70 years or so did not go to Oxbridge. 90% of High court judges used to be from Oxbridge, now it has been forced down to 80% in the last 20 years. Just these 2 universities.

In the US, leaders can come from a wider spread of different backgrounds, regions and universities. Also the affirmative action practiced at university level there carries on into later career mentality. In the UK, if you did not go to Oxbridge, it is almost impossible to get some jobs. Simples.

barthchuks: pls do we have "legal" corruption?

adekayo1234: Bros abeg o, Is there anything like legal corruption?

Kossyne:

Are you trying to say that some corrupt practices are legal?..Please put me through.

Sagamite:

What a moronic ediot!

Even Sepp Blatter said, shockingly, in public that he was suprised Messi was awarded, so how can you say it was a FIFA rigging?

Messi was selected by an independent Study Group that included Sunday Oliseh.

milychocs:



Then Sunday Oliseh is now on my hit list!
That study group should be disbanded like yesterday......they cannot study to save their lives
Sepp Blatter should go and sit down....he started the trend, and knowing him, I bet he was lying his behind off!

Giving that award to Messi made made it a huge joke, lOl
The surprise on his face was epic...
...okay, we know, it was his humility and not " you gotta be kidding me" that made him look surprised

Sagamite:

I can't believe Nigeria scored lower in masculinity.

But as per pragmatism, I can see why.

JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! ALLAHU AKBAR!

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

You have any trouble/challenge? ...............PRAY!

NEVER USE YOUR BRAIN, ONLY GOD CAN DO IT!

Reetarded fucktards!

AjanleKoko:
Nigerians scoring lower in masculinity may be connected to the low level of pragmatism. Maybe?

Sagamite:

I just checked the criteria for masculinity dimensions:

"The masculinity side of this dimension represents a preference in society for achievement, heroism, assertiveness and material rewards for success. Society at large is more competitive. Its opposite, femininity, stands for a preference for cooperation, modesty, caring for the weak and quality of life. Society at large is more consensus-oriented."

Maybe in tough and suffering societies, if you are not one of the rich and part of the majority poor, you will need cooperation to survive on the long run. And also Africans tend to care for their old people individually.

That said, I am surprised UK scored higher than USA on these criteria.

AjanleKoko:

So am I. That sounds more like the USA-I-can-do mentality

kingphilip: The problems I have with this fifa n Nigeria's interference saga is simple....
Does fifa which is based in Switzerland not bound by the laws of Switzerland? The federal government never took nff to court but a stakeholder did dat Hw does that concern d government?
A court of competent jurisdiction took a decision n fifa suspended Nigeria... wat I want to know is dat does fifa not obey laws that are instituted by the Swiss government? Fifa is full of bunch of hypocrites

BTW nice move by the fg...

ELYMAXiimus: airmark, pls i'm tagging you here, cos i can't at the rapbattles section!

spyg1: There is going to be development in the Nigerian league, now that the govt has removed its hands off in the mgt of sport affairs, no must win home matches now.
