this is nonsense! Chi Limited is actually robbing peter to pay Paul. How could they pay man united 2million pounds per year for just being partners with man united just cuz they want to use their logos and crest? do Britons drink Chi exotic or any of their products? let's look at it critically. This is pure capital flight and Central Bank of Nigeria have a Job to do. They shouldn't sanction the transaction.
