Traditional Gods - Biggest scam of the century- As someone mentioned where were all these gods when the white man invaded Africa. and also and how come these so called gods have not fixed Nigeria.

I dont know if anybody has been following or monitoring the green revolution that is currently taking place in Iran. This is a country that is hoping to change its present and embrace western principles.  If this revolution is sustained which i dont doubt  I believe change will happen in the coming months. This is  a revolution that was started by the people of Iran.

What is happening is to the Nigerian masses when is this revolution coming.  At this rate the whole world is going change and Nigeria will be left out. 

What is wrong with our people have they not suffered enough.

The reason for posting it here is simple. Its the politics thread for christ sakes. Politicians keep tabs on NL if you dont know.

If you dont wannaview the thread go to another one on the site or better still go self-service yourself,

I wonder who buy a car from a slowpoke who can not distinguish btw auto section and politics and his logic is that politicians visit nairaland's politics section - what a way to reason -

Ojukwu which one u be are u the one from biafra or another one
If u r the latter u want to have another crack at presidency
Please let it rest cause u get another bloody nose

Get a grip - Obama can not and will not solve Africa's or Nigeria's problem -- it is up to u and i period

o boy na true o,
Taking these guys to court is the latest thing now, it is even more lucrative than kidnapping. So let start gathering their sins in preparation to nail them to the cross!, bust be sure u take them to a USA court or UN, otherwise FG will use bojuboju to squash ur case while they collect small under the table snurf from the oil firms.

at the same time be ready to wait for at least 7 - 15 years before u recieve any kobo that is if they dont appeal.

This is what they should have done long time ago - Mend needs a political arm or wing - They should learn from the IRA

What kind of statement is this. Although one will argue it is the right of citzen to have access to an enabling environment but unfortunately it is not the case in Nigeria so when a leader is identified doing the right time in the Nigerian context that man or woman needs to be celebrated and hope the servant leader attitude spreads all over the country.

From Puskas and Di Stefano to Zidane and Beckham, Spanish football giants Real Madrid have aspired to acquire the some of the most talented and glamorous names in world football.

Now, in the latest chapter they have swooped in a matter of days for two of the biggest names in world football, Kaka and Ronaldo.

The signing strategy is being led by the returning president of the club, construction magnate Florentino Perez, who previously led the Spanish team from 2000 to 2006 - during its famous "galacticos" era.

It was under Mr Perez's first reign that the club initiallly aimed at becoming the world's richest and best known football brand.

But how can they afford to pay the reported £56m for Kaka and offer a world-record £80m for Cristiano Ronaldo - existing as they do without the deep pockets of a billionaire benefactor?

Growing match-day revenues, increasingly shrewd and global marketing, healthy commercial income, and a ground-breaking domestic TV deal, have all catapulted the club to the peak of the Deloitte's Football Money League this year.

They have topped it for the past four straight years, despite being overshadowed in the Champions League by their bitter rivals Barcelona.

'Remarkable growth'

According to those most recent figures, for 2007/08, the club saw its revenue hit £290m during that season.

Whilst Real Madrid's 4% revenue growth was more modest than in recent years, it actually meant the club had doubled its annual revenues since 2002.

Perhaps crucially, it also gave the club a revenue lead of 41m euros (£32.5m) over Manchester United, which each year has to service large debts incurred in the Glazer family takeover of the club in 2005.

"The engine driving Real's remarkable revenue growth, and its ascent to the top of the money league, has been the club's ability to increase commercial revenue," said Dan Jones, author of the Deloitte report, when it was issued in February.

Matchday revenue has also increased significantly in the past couple of years thanks to the reconfiguring of areas of the club's stadium to increase corporate hospitality capacity and hence revenues.

Attendances at their home ground - the 80,354-person-capacity Santiago Bernabéu football stadium - are the third-highest average attendance in Europe.

Emerging markets

After the purchase of David Beckham from Manchester United in 2003, Real Madrid cleverly projected their brand into East Asia, on the back of the England star's appeal.

"That was all about the race by the big European clubs to crack the East Asian, Indian and other emerging markets first, and the race is still going on," says Nigel Currie, of marketing and sponsorship giants Brand Rapport.

"However good the Premier League and Spain's La Liga are, there is an elite breaking away, led by the likes of Real Madrid."

He added: "What they are doing is partly a response to Barcelona's success, but these signings are them putting down a maker to be the top club and football brand in the world."

Mr Currie said Real were targeting the world's best players who were also the world's most marketable players.

'Fickle allegiance'

That, Mr Currie added, meant that in emerging markets fans may swap allegiance, from - for example - Manchester United to Real Madrid, simply because they preferred to support star players rather than clubs.

"They are far more fickle in terms of allegiance," he said. "But it is not about Real looking to sell more merchandising in places like China, in fact they would not make a great deal from doing that.

"They are looking to make money from these signings by maximising their future overseas TV rights," says Mr Currie.

"There will be massive TV deals coming up for them overseas in the next few years, that is the big carrot.

"With the developments this week Real Madrid will already have restored their profile and status to number one in these emerging markets.

"And the team that has the most marketable players, and the most supporters, will get the best TV deals."

'Important role'

The television money, both overseas and at home, is crucial to Real's recent surge in income in recent years.

Since 1997 Spanish clubs have sold their own rights individually.

Real Madrid signing its latest deal in 2006, for a reported record 1.1bn euros deal with Spanish film and TV company Mediapro for seven seasons of broadcast rights.

That works out at a huge 150m euros a year.

"Spanish television rights have increased significantly in the past three years, and would no doubt play an important role in these large Real Madrid transfers," says James Pickles, editor of industry journal TV Sports Markets.

Big name sponsors

But overseas merchandising, domestic and TV rights, and matchday earnings are not Real's only income streams.

It also has a number of high profile sponsorship partners - Bwin.com, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Audi, and Spanish beer brand Mahou.

An image rights deal with Adidas alone in early 2007 garnered them 762m euros.

Another benefit is the fact that tax legislation allows their foreign players to pay tax at about 23% for the first five years that they are in the country.

It also helps that Real - from before the 1950s heyday of Di Stefano - is considered the "establishment team" and can call on close links with the government or city authorities when cash is tight.

Last but by no means least is the fact that Real, like Barcelona, are exempt from demands imposed on the majority Spanish football clubs to become publicly listed companies.

Unlike the majority of European football clubs, Real Madrid is owned by its thousands of members, known as "socios", who elect the president.

That leaves it free of all the ramifications for takeovers and potential debt issues that being a listed company could involve.

In its report Deloitte said it would be difficult to see anyone topping Real Madrid at the top of the money league next year, but added "it will be interesting to see how the club copes with the loss of the Brand Beckham effect."

It appears Real is now answering that question by plugging that gap with the purchase of Kaka, and proposed purchase of Ronaldo.

ABUJA (AFP) — Benin's President Boni Yayi on Tuesday sought the cooperation of his Nigerian counterpart President Umaru Yar'Adua's on ways to mitigate the impact of the global financial crisis on their countries.

After the meeting of the two leaders, Yayi told journalists at a joint news conference that he was in Nigeria to discuss the serious problem with his host.

"The situation is critical in Benin," he said without giving details.

"I told him (Yar'Adua) it is time to strengthen our relationship in this period of financial crisis," said Yayi.

Yar'Adua said they had "discussed the issues of bi-national interests, in particular the effects of the global financial crisis on the two countries."

The Nigerian president said both countries agreed to convene a bi-national commission which would examine the issue and recommend measures to tackle it.

It is widely believed that the economy of Benin is largely dependent on Nigeria, its eastern neighbour.

Nigeria imports rice, vegetable oil, used vehicles and clothes from Benin, which in turn imports mostly basic household goods and beverages from its bigger neighbour.

Benin in August 2003 pleaded with Nigeria to reopen its land borders shut briefly over allegations of failure by Cotonou to check acts of banditry on its side of the frontier.

The borders were later opened after a meeting between then presidents Mathieu Kerekou and Olusegun Obasanjo.
