Manchester United have become the first sports team in the world to be
valued at more than 3billion US dollars.
A surge in the club's shares after a poor start when they were offered on
the New York Stock Exchange in August has seen the overall value of
United rise to 3.3billion US dollars (£2.1billion).
According to Forbes, United are comfortably ahead of the world's second-
most-valuable sports team, the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, worth 2.1billion
dollars (£1.4billion).
The United shares were initially offered to the public at 14 dollars and are
now worth just under 17 dollars.
It means a huge increase in the overall wealth of the Glazer family, who
have a controlling interest in United, and billionaire investor George Soros
- the 22nd richest person in the world - who bought a 7.5 per cent stake
in the club.
United's commercial growth appears to be driving the share price up, with
the club announcing several new sponsorship deals since August,
qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages, and with the
prospect of the new bumper Premier League television deals that are
coming on stream from August.
The Glazers sold 10 per cent of their shares in the initial public offering
sale in August but United's vice-chairman Ed Woodward insisted in
October the family will not sell the club for "many, many years" despite
ongoing interest.

Full text of the lecture on ‘The Economic Well-being of the Individual’
delivered by Chief Obafemi
Awolowo at the Christ Church Cathedral, Lagos on Sunday, 8th, February,
1970, at 10.30 a.m. under
the auspices of the Christian Laity of Nigeria.
THOSE who are unable to produce, for reasons of youth, old age, pupilage,
or infirmity, should be
sufficiently catered for. I dare say that all right-thinking people will
consider these five principles as
sound and acceptable. I say so because they are principles of common
sense, and are in any case,
indispensable to social harmony. The only issue, therefore, on which there
is bound to be lack of
consensus is as to their implementation. On this issue. a number of knotty
questions are bound to
arise which call for clear and categorical answers. Time does not permit a
detailed examination of
these questions. Nevertheless, I would like, with Mr. Chairman’s
indulgence, to make some attempts.
First of all, I would like to translate the five principles into concrete
national objectives, which, in my
advocacy, should be pursued by us, and comment very briefly on such
objectives in turn. Then I
would like to stress the necessity for their implementation as a means to
peace, reconstruction, and
reconciliation. Finally, I propose, also briefly, to deal with other relevant
questions, which may remain
to be answered.
The national objectives, in so far as they are relevant to the present topic,
are nine: and I state and
comment onthem seriatim, as follows:
1. There must be full employment for all. Anything short of this cannot
assure enough purchasing
power, and hence economic well-being, for every Nigerian citizen who is
able and willing to work. We
have already noticed the deleterious and degrading effects which enforced
idleness or unemployment
can have on unemployed persons. This must be avoided at all cost.
Furthermore, it is well to
remember always that, as long as there are only four bones for six dogs, it
is idle to expect any kind
of peace and quiet inside the kennel.
2. Every citizen, other than self-employed persons, should be guaranteed
a national minimum wage
compatible with decent living or economic well-being. This objective
should also apply to those who,
even though self-employed, work as co-operators in any field under
government supervision. The
objective of minimum wage, apart from that of full employment, is the best
guarantee of economic
wellbeing for the individual. It would put an end to exploitation on the part
of employers, and to inertia
on the part of workers. It would positively raise the morale of the workers
for increased productivity.
3. Every Nigerian citizen must be educated at public expense to the limit
of his natural ability to
enable him to be in the fittest possible state to produce the utomost that
he is capable of. An
arrangement under which some are educated and some are not is
inhuman, unjust, and, in the long
run, antisocial. It gives the educated an unfair advantage in economic,
political, and other social
activities over their uneducated fellow-citizen, even though the latter might
have greater inborn and
latent talents than the former. Inequality there must be among individuals.
But the inequality must be
such as arise inevitably from natural and hereditary limitations, not one
that is imposed by an unfair
denial of opportunity.
Furthermore, it is important to stress that, apart from enhancing the
socio-economic status of the
individual, education, if it is the right type, also helps to eradicate from the
subjective phase of the
mind such negative processes as superstition, fear, envy, and hatred
which often lead to strife, and
sometimes to the commission of serious crimes. It is a truism to say that
when, to a great extent, the
mind is free from negative thoughts, and is dominated by positive
thoughts, a man’s ability to
produce, and his chances to live a full and happy life, are at the same time
considerably enhanced.
4. Preventive and curative health services must be provided at public
expense to all citizens to enable
them to enjoy good physical, mental, and spiritual health. The need for
this objective is obvious. The
common saying, which is absolutely true is ‘Health is wealth’.
There is another noteworthy saying, which runs as follows: ‘If wealth is
lost, nothing is lost; but if
health is lost all is lost’. I am sure that it will be generally agreed that other
things being equal, the
healthier a man is, the more productive economically he becomes.

A Must Read For Nigerians
Only real Nigerians;
1) Check the expiry date of Gala after eating it.
2) Go to church with extension and Blackberry charger (chargin g in his
presence).
3) Update on BBM "about 2 cross",get hit by a car and still update"dying

4) Say an opening prayer at a nite club
5) Go to an eatery and buy bottled water just to watch a soccer match.
6) Go to a shoprite, buy a bottle ofcoke and spend 30mins taking photos

9) Count money after withdrawing from an ATM (we trust no one, not even
machines).
10) Wear head warmers @ 45 degrees celsius.
11) Call a fat hausa man "alhaji" and a thin one "aboki".
12) Travel 2 china for 2days and come back with a British accent.
