Daughter of the late veteran Nollywood producer, director, writer, teacher and mentor, Amaka Igwe, Ruby Igwe has written an open to Aliko Dangote, disclosing to him, her opinion on the indicated interest to purchase Arsenal football club.

If we recall, the billionaire lost the bid to land a stake in Arsenal Football club in 2010. He, however, revealed recently that he is still interested in buying the club.

Here is an excerpt of the open letter from DailyPost below:

[b] Dear Mr. Dangote.

Of course you should buy the Gunners. It’s a sound investment to invest in football, I think financially. And of course in terms of reputation, having a stake in a club is epic. And of course you have the cash. That’s indisputable. However, I have two propositions for you.

Please buy Manchester United instead. Just because.

If you don’t want to, that’s fine. But if you have change, after the Gunners, invest in the football in Nigeria. I can a$$ure you that it’s not only in the UEFA Champions League, or the English Premier League, or La Liga, or Bundesliga, that you will find good soccer. What these leagues have in common is solid financial backing, and solid infrastructure. They have created an internationally celebrated, culturally appreciated, economically viable system.

As such, I find solace in my red Man Utd shirt. I watch David de Gea‘s saves in awe, and I want very much to go to Old Trafford. I feast on the history and the statistics that I find about George Best and Alex Ferguson and David Beckham, and I can’t count how many times Manchester United has broken my heart.

I digress.

If you invest in the football in Nigeria, maybe people will feel the way they feel about Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United; about Enyimba. Maybe my mates will make good money playing for Nigeria’s local and national teams. Maybe watching football and sports live in Lagos and Lafia will become a favourite past time. Maybe we will know more Nigerian players by name and not because of what non-national club they play for.

Maybe there won’t be that much traffic every time in Lagos because the stadium will be packed full. Maybe the clothing and manufacturing industries will be revived by making jerseys and other memorabilia. Maybe students can find modes of expression and survival in sports in general, instead of trying to conform to what they are not.

So Sir. Please do Nigeria a favour and invest in the infrastructure of our football. Invest in change.

Don’t just donate, in case it becomes pocket-oriented. Don’t make a local investment. Go hard. Go national. Consult people, including football fanatics, and lay out a battle plan. Invest in our football and follow your investment until you see the sizeable returns that can and will actualize. Invest in generations to come.

Nigeria will thank you.

Ruby igwe oya u buy enyimba make we dance shoki for u

Dangote can never by man utd

I think the two is bad. they are both clubs who don't buy African players. instead Everton, Manchester city, Tottenham.
Chelsea is the only club in England that loves African players to the core. that's why I'm BLUES....

Buhari has started. Why is he going to buy clubs for. Is that change.
#babaonechance

He can't buy Arsenal, just a few shares. Arsenal is better as a PLC

Dear Dangote, pls don't buy any club now borrow Okonjo and Jona the money instead to pay marketers so we can have fuel for our car and generators.

Nigerians

dont want to say u sound lame even if its d truth buh u really sound lame

Always in the quest to mortgage local industries and now football ; why not boost the standard of Nigeria football leagues to international standard? Why not invest in building stadium and rent it out? Of what help will investing in European football clubs be to a common Nigerian? You can turn Nigerian football to international standard if you really desire to sir. Lastly United practices simple xenophobia because they won't even sign a black player not to talk of selling it to a Blackman.

Issorait

I THINK HE SHOULD GO FOR ARSENAL, HE WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THERE

How old is dis girl? She sounds like a confused brat to me.

Dangote will have to cough out £2b to buy man utd that's if the glaziers will even consider selling..........in other news...........man utd have signed depay

Arsenal still remain one of the best club in the world,for the past 10 years aresnal never win the league title and they are still in forbes top 10 richest club in the world.Show me any club in the world that can achieve that
