The number 5 on the list no longer stand, the highest paid footballer in the world is now Tevez. Number 10. Seriously yet the media can over hype the National team. Still wondering why Nigeria nationals want to play for the 3 lion's that has no hope of winning the Euros. Number 11,is the opposite of Bubu. |

Pascalville: You didn't hear about the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe then. People had billions in notes yet they couldn't buy anything worthy with all the useless cash. Imagine having a billion Zimbabwe dollar and it could only buy say a loaf of bread and a tin of sardines. 2 Likes |

Number 34: Seychelles is Africa's smallest, Gambia is Africa's smallest contiguous nation. Please next time, be specific. On the other hand, Mugabe should just step down. Why Africa's rulers cannot emulate Lee Kuan Yew? It befuddles me. |
