vislabraye: 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. 4 Likes |

This's why all you that worship white people should have your brains examined. White people (though not all) have no respect for you as a black man; especially Britain, France, US, Portugal, Spain. These countries birthed crime to this world, enslaved our ancestors, created fake countries, created fake governments and puppets, created fake education to brainwash you, created poverty in third world countries. Germany and Italy deserve a mention as well. As you can see they have no reason to respect us. If we want them respect us, we must give them back their education and language and re-invent education based on our own terms; like China, Russia, Korea, Japan, e.t.c. Only then shall we be respected. 4 Likes |

codemaniacs: 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? 1 Like |

LastMumu: Thank you Sir. African man and pride. Leave them to be talking about resources that you can't even extract and turn into a finish product. Yes we have resources but fail in every category when compared to other countries and thats not even naming western nations but countries like Iran,Thailand,Turkey etc |

People are mad ooo ... He specifically said poverty stricken African nation .. I.e the poorest or a nation amongst the poor in Africa ... Anyone who disputes this fact is retarded , Nigeria is pretty much one of the richest in Africa and that would at least have a bit of impact talk less of the poorer nation . seriously try converting that money to naira , then when you are done convert it to CFA of Benin republic ... now keep it in mind that Benin is at least a mid tier nation in Africa . Low esteemed trolls. |

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. |
Re: Christopher Glee's Comment About African Nations Causes Uproar Online by saintandsinnerz: 10:38pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
midolian:The guy you quoted made so much sense with his comment. Quite easy for Africans to term anything said about them by Europeans as being racist. The British guy said nothing wrong! In fact, the examples he used (Saido Mane and Pogba) was quite apt. The money paid by Liverpool for Mane has been criticized for being excessive and desperate. His price tag has caused a stir in the transfer market. Again the price being bandied about for Pogba is outrageous and insane! Does he really worth that amount? The British guy probably used those two players because they are at the centre of discourse concerning the astronomical amounts players are being paid nowadays. There was nothing racist about his comment, after all he also said that the weekly wage of Man Utd starting eleven will be more than the total wage of all the supporters in Old Trafford put together! So let us digest issues before playing the racism card 1 Like |

LastMumu: 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 |
Re: Christopher Glee's Comment About African Nations Causes Uproar Online by Babysho(m): 10:50pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
LastMumu: Yes it is. The world is very crazy. Why would you pay that sum for a human when you can eradicate poverty by using the money to create jobs im Africa and yet some of them will be officials in World Cup, some will have cousins in the United Nations HQ. Albeit, the whites are very intelligent people I swear. They'll find a way to tax almost half of that 100mill back into their accounts. Nevertheless, Pogba shouldn't be worth 100m oo...he's just skillful and has accurate short passes. No speed, No tackling, no attacking prowess. His freekick ain't good either. He's an over hype. |

Re: Christopher Glee's Comment About African Nations Causes Uproar Online by Babysho(m): 11:05pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
boyo123: 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 really amazed at you, not just your reasoning. Poverty is everywhere in Africa even right under YOUR nose. You live in a country where you'll find a beggar within every 100-200metre you travel. Are you just blind to these simple and visible facts? For someone to tell you your country has problems has become a problem to you. Why are you living in denial? £100m dollars will build 2 government secondary schools in each state of Nigeria. If Nigeria does not need that money, Buhari won't run around pursuing monies that isn't up to that... eg, pursuing Metuh for 400million Naira. For once, think, accept that you have a problem... then you can seek a solution. African Nations such as Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Madagascar including NIGERIA will appreciate £100m if it is donated to them. 2 Likes |
