embarassed cry
Shame on Nigeria.

We value the west more than our own.

-If LASG will pay for Holyfield to visit Lagos as a guest when Bash Ali is a tenant in Lagos.

-When we celebrate Halloween and demonize the Oro and Ekpe festivals.

-When Government officials use BMWs and Mercedes Benz when we have Innosons and yet scream buy Nigerian to grow the Naira

-When we watch Kaitlyn Jenner's show on E and call Denrele and Bobrisky perverts.

-When PeterPsquare, an Anambra boy goes to London just to watch live Chelsea FC matches yet he has never been to the Ifeanyi Uba FC Stadium at Nnewi.

-when herdsmen slaughters are not talked about by supposed celebrities but you hear them tweet #PrayForParis and co.

When will we value our own
When will our inferiority complex end

Unfortunately Bash Ali has burnt all the bridges he could have used to sustain the profile of his glory days. In his suicidal quest to break world record of a boxing championship match in his late 50s-early 60s, he came out as percieved as trying to blackmail govt officials. He was whisked out of Bolaji Abdulahi's office as minister of Sports, same fate he suffered in with the current minister. The private sector are not even ready to touch him in a mile. He has no sell value anymore and his image is badly dented.

Aside from having his name in some print, he is not the image that will be of value to the organizers of Lagos @50......and lastly he's not a Lagosian, so what's his problem? Why not direct his jab to Edo state?

Most of your points are valid but on the Oro and Eyo festival, i think we are our own problems. We portray it as mystical and black magic. Go try wear Oro uniform as costume and see the kind beating. This fear has been passed from generation to generation and prevented us from reaping the economic gains. I don't even know what the Oro uniform looks like. If there is any.

Most of the other points also make sense. People that can project a Nigerian footbal with money made through Nigeria are after Chelsea, Arsenal and co. They could do both ways. The rich man from Kano could even partner with the foreign club to build up Kano pillars. Na so. I guess na when we get money like that we go understand.

Are you all aware that Evander Holyfield was not paid to visit. Instead, Holyfield donated $3 million to Lagos state to support youth and sports development by providing medical facilities. What exactly is Bash Ali saying? Whose hero is he. A hero that can't donate 1 Naira, is that one a hero?
Moreover, he's an Edo hero, not Lagos.

He listed all the titles, decorations, honours etc he has been blessed with by Nigeria...yet he asks "what is wrong with my country?" Is someone being logically inconsistent here? Cool down sir...u cannot headline to all sporting in Nigeria na...Holyfield's invitation is just a market/advert strategy. If na So, snoop dogg or Jay-Z should headline all musical concerts in the states.


Soliloquizing: But seriously they could have invited him though...like even as just a guest of honour. #BadPlanning

That is the worst. When GEJ prays for paris while Boko Haram killed hundreds in same weekend,
Buhari doesnt even recognize those killed by fulani herdsmen but he sends condolence to european country that loses 1-2 dozens of people to terrorism while pure genocide is happening in naija.

Perhaps we should start with our name. Change the name nigeria. Afterall it is a foreign name. We can call ourselves Naija or Naijaland. That is one name we gave ourselves.

The truth is that, what is the motive behind bringing Holifield For the match ?

The world would see and hear about it

That could be a means to an end economically for lagos state , when the spotlight is on lagos again. Bash Ali won't achieve that

While l agree that Bash coul dhave been invited along, Lagos State Govt DID NOT PAy Hollyfield to come to Lagos!
The reverse is actually the case.
Hollyfield is donating a $3Million (Yes, three Million Dollars health facility to the Lagos State Govt, in return.

Unfortunately, Money talks, Bash Alli is always asking for Money from Govts, l can see any project he has invested-in, in Lagos.

I beg to differ on this. I'm not commending LASG for what it did or didn't do but some of these people also need to give back to the society to warrant such recognitions. I'm not aware of Bash Ali's social and sports contribution too.

Thumbs up to Kanu Nwankwo and few others
