WoW

Glo u ve done alot 4 nigeria football yet our league is yet to develope. I think this is a good chance for our youngstars.[color=#990000][/color]

Glo - Rule your World

If this is true, then they have truly gone global as anticipated

nice one, but i guess it's too early to celebrate.

thots of their interaction with nff, which left much to be desired.

I'm a man-u fan, I'm a Glo subscriber, but i don't know why my heart is beating fast

O boy!!, this is massive. So Glo left local league to go sponsor an EPL team. Those green boys are vexing.

we dont have all the metrics behind this move.

On the surface, it is vexious since the money was made in Naija, it should be spend on Nigerians.

May be looking deeper, Glo will make much more money from this as a global brand and they can have more funds to spend on Naija.

NO COMMENT FOR NOW

papa

Let Globacom throw around the money, it wont stop United from being a debt ridden club!!!!

Glo - We global!!!
This is strictly a PR thing so please let's reduce the sentiments involved.

I just confirmed it from Man Utd website:

Wow!

[b][/b]That's not true, a massive money on foreign investment leaving NPL for EPL?

wow!! All that money?

wat a hell big money

wat is it meant for in short?

SHALOM

saviola77:

How does this affect glo?? Does Barclays pay the salaries of epl players??

I think I really agree with you on this.

GTay's Pic

Wind don don blow we don see fowl Yash!!! The deal was not to develop 9ja football but to give Glo marketing rights.
Same old corporate bullshit!!!
Glo's big plan will be to use the ManU marketing rights to promote their network. We will soon be seeing ads to "Watch ManU matches on your phone and win a free trip to a ManU UEFA game." Nothing special, its business as usual

Like someone earlier said, its simply a PR move. Nigerians love show boating, i guess since the Zenith Banks of this world can be on CNN all day, I suppose it makes 'sense' that Glo will fly the flag somewhere somehow in the telecoms sector.

Ask me lol naija football who sponsor it then

oya oo. . .

boycott Glo!!!

throw their sims in the toilet !!!!

what disrespect!!!

Insult!!!!

how adre they

and they are nigerians !!!

how many man utd players use the glo network!!!! u sound stupid,how many times have u watched nigerian league.FOOL, let GLO KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

it is amazing how pple come on here to show total lack of brains, stupidity and incredible heights of ignorance. how can u say glo left nfl to sponsor d epl when infact glo, for many years spent millions on d nfl until recently when they fell out with nff. Abeg they don try make another person sponsor nfl
The new deal with man u has enormous potentials to aid our football if properly used since it will give our youngsters huge access to worldclass facilities in d uk, which they can only imagine in their dreams or see on tv. And d money no be for to sponsor man u alone, its deal that benefits both parties, albeit moreso nigeria and glo.
Some fool asked how many man u players use glo line. This is an idiotic and primitive way of reasoning. Its nauseating to read comments like this.
Finally, wats wrong if glo uses this as a marketing gizmo and goes global? Is it not d dream of any corporate body to be a global brand? Shouldnt we all be happy about our own local brand shooting out globally?
Abeg think first before u type pus on here and make complete fools of yourslf. End of ranting

I think its a nice move on the part of Glo, besides since we have just been branded Terrorist. Its good to see that there are still some people who believe in doing buisness with Nigerians.

On the other hand, with the NFL not ready to move forward, its better for Glo to find somewhere else to put his money.

Lastly, with Glo as a Man. Utd sponsor, Adenuga's buisness interestts in the UK can continue to foster.

I don’t know why our some journalists always lie when they report news about Nigeria. They say Globacom is the largest sponsor of football in AFRICA, what a blatant lie. There are many companies in Africa that spend more money on their local league than what globacom has ever spent on any team in Nigeria. Just a take a look at the South African soccer league and team websites to see their local sponsors:

Most Nigerians are educated but not intelligent. I say this because a man like Mike Adenuga is educated but he has very little intelligence. Even my dog can coach him on how to run his business.5 Million pounds a year can build solid sporting facilities in Nigeria and sponsor Nigerians teams but he prefers to spend the money on foreign land. Well I don’t blame him ,what do you expect from a thief who stole for the people Nigeria under the leadership of Babangida. Mike Adenuga is another Nigerians who deserves to be tied to the stake and shot. This deal is only meant to benefit his company and nothing more.

I cant but agree with you

out of scope.

That's correct and very sad indeed.

This is typical African stupidity! We just never learn as a people. You make money in Africa, then you go and use it to sponsor a team in UK! This isnt too far off the scale from our klepto-leaders who steal from the treasury & compound things by spending/stashing the money offshore.

How many companies in UK or elsewhere in the developed world would do the same? It's not even like Glo has a market over there.

Even though the deal with the Nigerian FA went sour (due to the thieves in charge of naija football), but really Glo could still contribute to sports (or any other endeavour) in naija in a different way with this money. The benefits of the deal are little compared to the amount. Compared this to the South African league where Ajax Cape Town is a feeder club for Ajax FC - the players have the same kind of opportunities to Ajax FC Glo claims Nigerians/Ghanaians/Beninoise will soon have to ManU, but no one in SA is sending 5m GBP a year to Holland.

Sounds good!!!

Good move glo, Go 4 it

lau lau spendin

Oh yes.

So why are u all happy? is glo going to give you $100 by signing agreement with manU? it's not going to add anything to the life of any ordinary nigerian except the usual "recharge and win". rubbish.

Our same Glo? 5million pounds? na wao!
Hope they remember we are still on Terrorist list before they accept sponsorship from a Nigerian company?
