Even the other regions will pick up. Enlightenment will come. Avenues for wealth will keep growing. With time, right choices will come.

TheGoodJoe:

Look at how we have influencers growing. Look at Music. Look at tech.

These changes will continue until it eclipses those having a strong hold.

if the leagues can't be switched into regions then billionaires from southern Nigeria can create clubs and work the clubs to the NPFL and let private southern Nigerian clubs be dominant in the NPFL...

there are 7 clubs from London in the EPL.
there are 5 clubs from Madrid in La Liga

this can motivate billionaires or investment companies from other regions to invest in creating their own football clubs and lead to the indirect privatization of the league..

TheGoodJoe:

Despite the negativity from the unitary level of the government, did you not see academies springing up in the country? Look at how Nollywood thrived in a chaotic environment. Look at how we have influencers growing. Look at Music. Look at tech.

These changes will continue until it eclipses those having a strong hold.

most of the things you mention are successful only in southern Nigeria..

All the regions in Nigeria can never have the same level of success and progress at the same time so if you mean only a section of Nigeria will experience rapid growth then you are correct..

if you want the league to be successful today then break it up into regions.

TheGoodJoe:
With time, most of the corrupt elites will fade away. Then credible people will run Africa. Then you will see rapid growth. I see it coming.

We can build our leagues with the right management and investments. Until then, Europeans will still use us to play kalo kalo.

Its good that you have a positive outlook..

But the corrupt elites can never ever fade away because they are funded by whyte people.

You can say that for other parts of Africa but for west Africa and other black majority countries in Africa it is terrorism, wars, inflation that you will see in west Africa.

Since Nigeria has a weak currency then building our leagues is a pipe dream unless FG or a private firm can give the league winners the naira equivalent $20m and others get compensated between $1m and $10m based on their final league position then another compensation before the start of a new season.

West Africa is built to self destruct.

TheLoneCitizen:
My good man, this ain't 1924.

Nothing has changed..

In 2025, a whyte organisation has built a ₦27m per annum school knowing fully well that it will cause inflation in the country and most people can not afford it.

Goke7:
Oga in my church here in the uk, on the Sunday of the Afcon final my Oyinbo pastor announced in church wishing Nigerias all the best, some bars and clubs had viewing centres with Afcon in their schedule, at work they talked about the competition. We forget that so many European clubs are now represented in Afcon with many fans around the world keeping tab on their club players. That’s how big Afcon has become. Na bad belle Dey worry people like carragher and those who keep talking down on the event. A billion dollars was spent by the cotedvoire govt on the last Afcon. That’s unprecedented and shows how Afcon has evolved. I bet you with the next one in Morocco, we will be shocked with the popularity as Morocco is even a tourist destination for Europeans. The last APOTY awards and the viewership it receives is a taste of what to expect in Morocco.

That bad belle is called racism.. He won't say the same thing about any other continental competition.

zicky:
we really need to define what racism is, cos what we are seeing now is a joke. A white man cannot innocently mention monkey anymore or even use it in a statement without we blacks raising eyebrow.

TheLoneCitizen:
It's true blacks are discriminated against but we are also very insecure.

The way we weaponise racism is just sad.

Black Americans insult whites with "shut up, white boy" but whites can't even call you black.
Ashamed of your own skin?

whyte people's racism is about hatred and violence and is not something that should be downplayed because its as a result hating, mal-treating, disrespecting, killing another person because of skin colour and that they are Africans..

whyte Americans have bombed American cities just because the majority of the people living there were black Americans and the city was built by black Americans.

whyte Americans created integration through a black man named MLK with black Americans just to get access to black americans dollars by given them the option of shopping at whyte owned businesses and since black Americans were not and are not tribal they started patronizing whyte owned businesses while ignoring their own black American businesses which led to the black American businesses closing down and going out of business and indirectly killing the black American economy..

years later before he was killed, MLK said he has led his people into a burning building... which means he was regretting integration..

after that, whyte Americans and whyte people in general realized that they could use prominent black people to carry out their racism since the person is black then some black people will support the person blindly. or they can create prominent black people since they control the global financial system.

TheLoneCitizen:
They are all on the same level in terms of quality.

But in terms of prestige, EURO and Copa América clears this.

Why? Because attention is what buys prestige.

You can't have attention when you're a leftover.

You know the funniest thing, Copa América is played at a time that possibly only 10% of football fans have watched a full 90.

But why is it prestigious? Because it becomes the main topic during this period.


Imagine Nigeria crashing out of AFCON and the first thing on a fan's mind is "thank God he will play against Manchester City."

Now compare that to the thoughts of a Madrid fan when Vinicius exits the Copa América.

AFCON is supposed to be bigger than EUROS.

AFCON is prestigious to Africans..

AFCON is bigger than the EUROS to Africans..

TheLoneCitizen:
No until we move to off-season. June/July

European football is where football peaks and we have to accept it.

You can't be dragging prime time with European leagues, you'll always lose.

The quality is surely there. What we need now is attention

Goke7:
When will it be big enough? Is it until we beg some European teams to participate cos I no understand Una again for this place

it is already big enough but mainly big to Africans and diaspora Africans ..

As for globally big enough, that will require all the currencies of the African countries to be strong and since Africa did not create the global financial system then it will never ever be big enough because the global financial system ensures that most or all black African countries have bad currencies..

TheLoneCitizen:
I made this statement January 2024.

Real Madrid can build a Galactico of Europe's best players.

Can any European team even dare build a frontline of Africa's best players?

Lookman En-Nesyri Salah

Just a frontline.

Klopp did it with Salah and Mane..

Leicester City tried it with Musa and ihenacho.

Leverkusen also have Tella and Boniface..
e.t.c

stanluiz:
Restructure Nigeria if you want it to be productive.

Let every region control their economy, ports, security, infrastructure, education, power etc

FG should decongest lagos by opening other ports and also allow also remove the policy of some certain goods must come to lagos ports.

Enough of depending on Niger delta oil. Enough of this monthly sharing allocation. It makes us lazy and can't think outside the box.

All the ports are functional.

There's a port in Rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

Exceed15:
Sharia law does affect the Rich.. they drink alcohol, smoke, carry different women and nothing happens

it affects everyone...

it's not about whether it affects the rich or the poor because both rich people and poor people are been kid:napped, raped and k:illed in northern Nigeria where sharia is been practiced but sharia has never ever been used to prosecute any bandit or her:dsmen any where in the north.

its a plan to give bandits and herds:men an edge over the SW people whether Yoruba or non-Yorubas in the SW.

its also a plan to give sultan of sokoto an edge over the SW people and make SW governors answerable to the sultan..

its also another plan to introduce terror:ism into the SW the way you're seeing in countries like Congo and even Nigeria where armed terr:orists will walk into schools, churches, houses and kidn:ap, rape and kill people without police attempting to arrest them..

SapaProMax:
Oga calm down. Not everything is tribalism.
The busiest and most functionality port in Nigeria is in Lagos. Judging by the fact that we literally import everything, it is only sensible that these products are cheaper here. Housing is another thing entirely. Not like I agree with the article like that but Lagos is relatively cheap. In business, too many competitors eventually drive prices of services and commodities lower. Food is more expensive in Lagos because the state cannot feed itself just yet even though the government has begun the processes it needs to be able to do so. If we didn't import as much as we did, naturally, Lagos' population will gradually reduce

There's a port in rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

Food is meant to be very cheap in the SE. They also have very good soil for agriculture.

Let west african countries lead themselves..

It is not Nigeria's business whats happening in other west african countries.

CaptainFM1:
Our government should better shed more light to us. Not sure our disaster management agencies and EMS can deal with this "apocalypse" if it happens. What contingency or evacuation plan do we have if this ever happens?

Any info you get on it will be from whyte people even if you hear info from your govt it is what whyte people has told them to say that they will say...

Nigeria Space Agency did not notice the asteriod but whyte people noticed it.. that means the Nigerians Space Agency is a useless agency and it just waits for orders from whyte people before it says anything..

it is D:angote refinery they are targeting.. they want to use nuclear bom:bs on Lagos.

Mrexcell:
Go to museums in the US and see their physical skeletons on display.

those are the work of material engineers and not real bones..

Mrexcell:
Not false huge asteroids have landed on earth before it was asteroids that wiped out dinasors minions of years ago.

asteriods have never landed on earth..

dinosaurs never existed.

efemena5050:
Worthless Nasa they didn't see Abuja where all our problems are situated .....it should HIT ABUJA FIRST..Atleast the president should be taking a nap

Refinery is not there.

Omoapena:
nah lie, make them no intentionally drop atomic bomb on us and call it asteroid, btw, I thought we are under firmament, so how will asteroid get through the barrier....

omojeesu:
Scam!

Man-made "asteroid"

2 of you are very intelligent..

Their target is Lagos because of D:angote refinery.

They want to use either nuclear bombs or atomic bombs on lagos state.

Use shariah on them

Gerrard59:
We produced goods that had high value in the international market before the onset of crude oil exports.

But this your "others are not Black Africans, while we are Black" is very self-defeating, I no lie you. This means, according to you o, we can never be prosperous?

Now you are understanding it.

As a nation we can never be prosperous but as individuals we can be prosperous.

As a nation we are already prosperous but the whyte racists people who control the global currency exchange rate make us poor and not prosperous by giving us racist exchange rate while countries like india are not treated to and subjected to the same racist policies on exchange rate.

English is bad for Nigeria in the long run..

Gerrard59:
While a drastic devaluation is bad for the economy and inhabitants, the major problem we have is that we are not a production oriented country. We don't manufacture as much as India and we still import some produce even when we were once a major producer or actually the number one producer. We produce cassava more than any country, but Thailand Vietnam export more derivatives of cassava than we do. We import ethanol and cassava starch. We imported 20BN worth of palm oil.

A devalued naira would be beneficial once we become more productive. The JPY and SK WON are very devalued, but they are highly productive countries. China still maintains a devalued Yuan. The naira's value isn't the problem, but our production levels.

no matter how productive and production oriented we are and become. it will never change the economy to a positive economy in the global scheme which also means the Nigerian economy will also not change due to the fact that prices of goods are priced almost at the dollar equivalent..

the countries you mentioned are not black African countries and do not qualify to be compared to Nigeria because the skin color of Thailand, China, JPY, SK e.t.c. automatically means they will be favored over black African people and countries no matter how production oriented black Africa becomes.

please stop deceiving yourself that the production levels is the cause.. the Naira to dollar rate will always be very wide....

if we go by your logic then how come in the 1960s without crude oil exports Naira had a good exchange rate with most international currencies despite the low production capacity and levels of that era...

Bwanasaraw:
I wonder o.

They just want opportunity so they can be legally marrying underage Yoruba girls.

not just that but also the herd:smen terr:orism in the SW would mean herd:smen can sue Yoruba christians or traditionalists or muslims who have issues with the herd:smen and the herd:smen will easily win the case with the Yoruba person been sentenced to death or cutting off the hands or legs of the Yoruba persons..

its a ploy to give herds:men an edge over people whether Yoruba or non-Yorubas in the SW.

ValarDoharis:
Those were not countries but communities,
villages and at best kingdoms.

If you want to stay alone, breakaway from Nigeria

communities and villages are called communities and villages because they have less than 70,000 people living in them...

countries have hundreds of thousands or millions of people living in them..

stop exposing your ignorance by calling them villages and communities..

its not about staying alone... its about respecting the culture, lands of ethnic nations...

ValarDoharis:
Humans have been moving since the beginning of time. Why will you confine someone to the locality where they were born? If so, whats the purpose of being in a country?

when black people moved thousands of years ago they did not interfere with the culture of the indigenes of the place they moved to..

before whyte people invaded Africa, the tribes were indigenous countries unlike today where after whyte people invaded Africa most African countries were now have multiple countries within theml..

your real country is where your tribe is indigenous too and not the ones created by whyte invaders..

Gerrard59:
In that case, there is nothing like racism as well. Black people should sit in their countries rather than move to the white man's land then lament racism every 2 seconds. The person I quoted lived in the UK.

There is racism.

Racism created a global financial system that only favors whyte countries that is one of the reasons why black countries can't make enough money to cater to their citizens.

The system is created to ensure black people leave their countries and move to whyte countries.

The major cause of Nigeria's poverty and under-development is the Western institutions that don't want to see any black nation prosper..

It is western influence that made t:inuboooo to devalue the naira which spoilt the purchasing power of every Nigerian.

you guys don't understand their hatred for black people globally especially those in Africa..

india annual budget is ₹48 trillion which is equal to $560 billion ( with a population over 1.4billion people

while Nigeria annual budget is ₦49 trillion which is equal to $30 billion ( with a population of 200million people )..

my point is Western powers claim Nigeria's population is the reason for ₦ Naira's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

but India with a population 7 seven times Nigeria's own is not affected by the same policy that causes Nigeria's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

if you reduce india annual budget to ₹28 trillion similar to Nigeria ₦28 trillion..

india's ₹28 trillion is still equal to $326 billion...

the Naira is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria and Nigerians by the Western powers.

Numerouno94:
Don't u knw the tribalism u guys propagate online is capable of inciting violence offline? Tribalist are not different from a racist. They are both idiots.

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

Gerrard59:
Coming from a renowned tribalist, this is a hypocritical statement. Blacks live much safer lives in white dominated countries than in their own black dominated environments.

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

ValarDoharis:
He is saying the truth. Nigeria tribalism is far worse than racism

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

RealLordZeus:
They are trying to identify them

most inter state trips have a manifest at the bus stations or bus park they get passengers..

there is no need for graphic images of travel victims to be posted on the internet.

it is pure wickedness and foolishness of anyone to post graphic images online.

That's the work of Police not social media users or Nai:raland..

the pictures are too graphic...

do you see graphic images of whyte people like this on their popular websites
