Arsenal FC: Amaka Igwe’s Daughter Writes Open Letter To Dangote by amzee(m): 7:05am On May 07, 2015 |
Late Amaka Igwe’s daughter, Ruby Igwe has openly taken to her Facebook page where he told Nigerian richest man, and ofcourse African richest to please invest in Nigerian football instead of buying Arsenal. Below is what Ruby wrote on her Facebook page…. Do read; 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 assure 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 stadiums 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 layout 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.

Who be this??, She's totally WRONG, by first suggesting that Dangote should buy Man U (another foreign club just like Arsenal) her planned objective to sound patriotic has been defeated; so her subsequent yada yada about the need to invest in Nigerian club sides is medicine after death |
