This is why we need accept and rebuild what we have and fight to have a great life, instead of running around to deaths............. If i can't make my stand in my country, then i don't have the right to think of making my stand in other country... "my parent once ask me to travel out, and i found that the amount we spending at the end of the day could start a very good business, then why do i have to travel out" even if i want get access to other country, i don't need to seek a die hard method..........this is the right time we have to decide, not yeye argument on the internet about tribe, race and all sorts. All we need is a leader who will never depreciate, a leader who will understand the heart of the people. Then how do we choose this leader? It is by Voting them in. I refuse to cast just my single vote for a rogue who is going to torment the country for another tenure NB: Have not seen the right person yet 24 Likes 5 Shares

Insensitive... Anytime these nitwits want to score cheap humanitarian/political points, they reference Africa, as if they think about the well-being of Africans after getting off the podium from which they speak their gibberish. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

princeemmma:Good point at the bolded. I have had conversations with people who tell me how much they spent to emigrate, mostly on agents fleecing them. Some pay huge school fees they never attend. All I say is "If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't have left Nigeria" 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Infantino was right. Those asking them to put money into charitable causes are ignoring the crux of his message reproduced below: "We need to give dignity, not by giving charity but by allowing the rest of the world as well to participate," 10 Likes |

What a senseless remarks from the albino, he forgot if his forefathers didn't cross the Mediterranean sea to colonize, enslave and destabilize our political structures, Africans may not even have any course to leave their continent. In as much I condemned the over desperation of some migrants to migrate to Europe, I think the remark from the FIFA's president is racial and dehumanizing towards Africans. 10 Likes |

Mordecai:Don't mind them. Giving charity as in donating to IDPs caused by terrorists...terrorists who became terrorists out of poverty, lack of civilized education and reasoning. Infantino is completely right. Europe have it all already, sports and its sister events should have more focus on Africa, it will go a long way in liberating African youths. Imagine if we have one million Nigerian youths playing professional football and other sports in Europe and earning legitimate money? Most of those African migrants risking their lives to migrate to Europe via dangerous routes are highly talented youths who are good in swimming, jumping, football, wrestling, boxing, etc. If the world expand and develop more on sports with a focus on Africa, it will help to discover and develop more African youths and give them dignity like Infantino proposed. World cup should be biennial truly, I have querried this in the past. Africans just like forming victim all the time, the man is spot on 13 Likes 4 Shares |

The title is misleading though. There was clearly a debate and each person had something to say. The idea that football could help African migrants didn't sit well with Burnett and he made it clear. However, the title made it look like there was a backlash. Now, there'll eventually be a backlash. Lol. **Edit** Ok, going by the attached pics, it was actually a backlash. Sorry. 1 Like 1 Share |
