What concerns Africa with how Man. U spends it's money ? Out of point. If you are happy to hear someone insult your household, that is you. Not everyone will take that.

When next your African leaders go abroad begging for foreign aids and they tell them there is no money, know the needed funds were pumped into something more important like buying Pogba for 100m pounds and paying players like Rooney three hundred thousand pounds a week.

That £100mil would have at last transformed out Education sector, so that one wouldn't wonder if those replying him (who are all most likely "graduates" ) would at least be able to reply him like people who learned the official language of their country: English is the national language of Nigeria, you know.

That £100mil could have given a transformer to this guy in a tertiary university: https://www.nairaland.com/3217893/how-iron-clothes-ogwashi-uku

The same people insulting him are wondering how to cross the desert and swim to Europe or travel to the U.S. on a tourist visa and find a elderly person to marry.

But yeah, let's defend our pride!

That's the problem, Nigerians taking the truth to be an issue.

The guy simply expressed his frustration at the way money is being wasted when there are serious and pressing poverty problems in Africa. He actually means well for those that are making an issue out of it.

...and he did not take Africa to be one nation neither did he generalize anything...or even make a racist reference. I wonder how some read that piece and think in that direction.

codemaniacs:


So u're saying there are no poor europeans

litaninja:
The irony....people that most likely live on less than a dollar / day making so much noise about not being poor.

LastMumu:
I went through all the replies by the so called 'patriotic' Africans and all I could see was too many emotions but too little intelligence. The guy is right all through.

Is 100m pounds not too much for just one player when a lot of countries are going hungry in this generation?

Are there not many poverty-stricken African nations this money could have helped? Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda are living in abject poverty.

Is Pogba truly worth 100m fucking pounds?

midolian:
The guy that did the first bashing seems to have some personal beef/hatred for them..little wonder he murdered them and their language (English). LoL

The british will sure laugh @ his grammar, but the fact remains that the guy is more advantaged. He can speak the language of the british while the slowpoke (british) can't speak the guy's language. This I am sure of.

midolian:
Yea, you went through all the replies but never bothered to read the message from the british. its obvious you don't even get it. Or are you trying to sound like the lastmumu you call yourself?

The guy is just a concerned racist. He would have made sense if he generalized it..but why pick two blacks and use them to cite example? Are there no whites that are more expensive than Pogba and Sadio mane? Are there no countries(non-African) that are dying in abject poverty?

LastMumu:



Obviously because he is a Saints fan and his club Southampton only recently sold Mane for 35m pounds (highest selling price for a player in the club's history). Nothing racist about his comment.


There are but African nations seem to be worse off. You can't blame the dude, everyday he is watching the news, Africa is projected as a poor continent with videos of malnourished and dying babies with people living in abject poverty. Everyday he reads in the papers and watch in the news how UNESCO and USAID beg people to donate funds to feed hungry and dying kids in faraway Africa. The guy is just concerned why 100m pounds will be wasted on one player while people are dying of hunger elsewhere.

Okay you guys took offense because he specifically mentioned African nations? Sorry ehn, I apologize on the guy's behalf. I'm sure he didn't mean to sound condescending, maybe he made a mistake generalizing.

LaExpert:


I did not say that.
There ARE poor Europeans.

Just like any sane person will point to the Northern Nigeria as a specific impoverished area in Nigeria, that is the same way Africa will be cited when speaking of poverty in the world.

Europe does not have poverty problems as Africa does.

Are you mad at the lad for saying £100m can help a poverty stricken African nation? Is it a lie?

emmysoftyou:
guy I feel your points, the truth is that we Nigerian see them as a racist, hence misunderstood the dude. but the guy made mistake by generalizing it, maybe he thought African is just one nation. but truth be told, majority of African countries re stricken in poverty.

boyo123:

what you dont understand is that,when a player is been sold in football he doesnt actually get the money.the only this he gets is the weekly wages .so saying that 100m that ends up going to the parent club is too much and he ends up bringing african nations into it is an insult.

and from what i notice the british does not still get it that africa is a continent

Babysho:



From my point of view, I think the British guy is being reasonable, just that he wrote nonchalantly.

What he probably doesn't understand is that football is a business. Juventus is making 100mill. They employ a massive amount of people for work and I'm very sure that the owner of Juventus worked hard to own the club or luck is on his side...
THAT'S LIFE.

It's better someone donates money to certain African countries or a business mogul should start up something oriented @ eradicating poverty in the country rather than because you see money moving that doesn't concern you ask why it's not being used for something else.
That's only stupid.

codemaniacs:


I'm vexing for your reasoning capabilities... £100m is nothing to Nigeria...

Europe has poverty problems but they don't broadcast it the way they tarnish Africa.

boyo123:
exactly my point.his right there in england but doesnt even know the business behind their football.from his comment he is a saint fan.so how come he doesnt know that the money paid for mane by liverpool is for the benefit of his club not the player

mars123:
the only mistake the guy made is in calling Africa a nation. Africa has endemic poverty. But if you are offended by the comment at least reply constructively.

Babysho:


He has unknowingly insulted all African countries. He deserves to be "Balls Punched".

By the way, the Government of most African countries need a foundational reset. Nigeria wey suppose dey drag with China still dey get Electricity wahala wey tiny Chile don conquer since.

Abeg... did he lie? The fact that you and I can buy enough credit to blast somebody online from the comfort of our middle-class homes does not mean that there are no poverty-stricken parts of Nigeria (and Africa at large) that cannot even afford to buy pure water on a daily basis. The compensation for sports is clearly getting out of hand, and could be used in more equitable ways (arguably, what we might call equitable, some might call socialist, or non-capitalist).

We Africans have this tendency to get hyper sensitive about criticism... Yes, we have rich parts of Nigeria, but do any of us make the effort to show the world? Those of us who can spend all their time flying to Dubai and London and flexing with watches and shoes and white boats, instead of channeling all that money to produce educative programs that air on US TV. Then we get upset at how Western media portrays us.

And, speaking of hypocrisy, I saw, in some small town in Delta state, over 300k wasted in 10 minutes: crates upon crates of expensive drinks were opened and just poured on a birthday celebrant. How many families could that have fed, or books bought for children? Why don't we get all outraged?

I've gotten tired of our outrage, and only want to see people silently, tirelessly, improving our countries so that the criticisms will one day be wrong. All this touchiness is not productive, does not change the fundamental fact that upon all our gragra and I-sabi-pass: EVERYTHING we use was made by non-Africans. Even the value we get from our oil is - in the main - provided by non-Africans.
