Are you kidding me?
These are not specific at all.
I was expecting buhari to ask for something like (though not restricted to) the magnificent eurotyphoon fighter jets and german submarines and destroyers to help in the war against bokoharam and piracy in the seas.
Someone gave buhari a blank check and he just blew it.

It is disappointing though that someone as educated and respected as wale adenuga is a tribalist.
Anyway, it is not surprising at the same time.

Well , nollywood is the biggest entertainment industry in africa.
The "yorubawood "and "hausawood " don't even come close.
Emeka ike must be a true visionary.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Premier League Clubs Should Rule Europe For The Next Coming Decade. by CSTR2: 12:29pm On Jun 07, 2015

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Premier League Clubs Should Rule Europe For The Next Coming Decade. by CSTR2: 12:28pm On Jun 07, 2015
WILL ENGLAND DOMINATE EUROPE?
http://i.imgur.com/pOavcIN.jpg
From 2016, each PL clubwill have more than
120m euros in tv rights. Enough to dominate the
champions league, inabalance european football
and the transfer market?
At the moment, there are only the numbers that
make you dizzy. From the 2016/2017 season, the
20 English clubs will share 2.3 Billion euros in tv
rights for 3 years, on which will be added 900m
euros per year in international rights. That is a
70% increase of the current contract.
For a few million euros (at this point, whose
counting?), the 20th of the Premier league will
touch in tv rights the entire budget of the 3rd or
4th in Ligue1. A the end of the 2016/2017 season,
PSG, if they are champions, will have 45m euros
under the current contract LFP acquiered with
Canal+ and BeIn Sports. The English champion
will win 210 m euros, almost 5 times more.
There are already 8 English clubs amongst the 20
richest in the world. In 2017 there is little doubt
that they will be atleast half of the top 20. Only
Real Madrid, Barclona, and Bayern Munich seem
capable of resisting, for now.
BLACKBURN, ONLY "INTRUDER" SINCE 1992
Bayern is a big power thanks to merchandising: in
2013/2014 the tv rights of the German club (36.9
million euros) were more less than half that of the
last placed PL club (79 million). Real and Barca
can keep up, despite their debts, because they
refuse to share tv rights in La liga and
concentrate 70-80% of the tv money of the
league. With 130-150 million euros a year, they
receive "English" sums.
While tv money are not the only source of
economic power (9 PL clubs are owned by foreign
investors), Englad is, amongst the 5 major
leagues, the one who share the most equitably its
wealth.
The big question, obviously, is on what will be the
sporting consequences of this contract. Inside, its
impact on the suspense in the Premier league,
and the impossibility on having a surprise, seem
almost zero: It is etched in stone and for a long
time. Since the the creation of the PL in 1992,
only Blackburn (1995) was able to stop the
absolute hedgemony of the big 4 (Manchester
United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City). Not
everyone has the chance to follow Ligue1, with its
9 champions in 20 years. In the outside, the risk
that England dominates Europe is very
strengthened, even if this doesnt seem likely in
the short term. Since 1992, England (4 wins) has
won ess champions leagues than Spain (7) and
Italy (5).
Actually, English clubs are already very rich and
they haven't always well spent their money: last
season, Liverpool reveived 122m euros of tv
rights, against 48m to Marseille, and that didnt
prevent the Merseyside club to be wasteful in its
recruitment.
But the gap in resources should mechanically
create a gulf in the long term. The contract of the
century deregulate the transfer market, in the
league where salaries are the highest, and where
the market for English players is completely crazy,
a particular trait that makes it less threatening to
the rest of Europe, however. Most of the best
players play in England, but not all of them: there
are some remaining, and not the least, at Bayern,
Real, and Barcelona. The 2 best, Ronaldo and
Messi, are in La Liga. The earthquake will happen
if they both came to England.
SHARE THE WEALTH, BUNCH OF PIGS
During the first day of the Premier League in
1992, there were 11 non British players on the
fields of the PL. From the season 2004/2005, they
were 45%, a percentage that has only slightly
fluctuated, and that also touches coaches. The
impact of this trend on the national team is a
purely internal debate, but also a little poluted.
Because England is living on the memories of its
1966 World Cup won at home, whereas it wasnt
more competitive when its clubs dominated
Europe with mainly English players in the 1980's.
Today, it only has another excuse.
This influx of money makes England a paradise
for players and agents. But others pay the cost of
this paradise, by their subscriptions to SKY and
BT Sport, or their tickets to stadiums. Since the
announcement of this contract, the debate has
begun on the usage of this money for the profit of
fans. Saturday, at the kick off of Crystal Palace-
Liverpool, the ultras of Selhurst Park, the only
ones in the country, showed a banner "5 billion
pounds, but fans are still exploited. Share the
wealth, bunch of pigs."
Others were more polite. The former Liverpool
defender Jamie Carragher requested 20 pound
seats for away fans. Gary Lineker suggested to
"reduce prices to allow real fans to go to games" .
But the movement seems irreversible: In their
stadiums, PL clubs prefer having 70% of tourists,
often times Asians who pay a lot, than 90% real
fans who spend less.
While this wealth may accentuate the trend of
certain clubs hounding players (Chelsea loaned 27
players this season, who are forbidden to play
against them!), the fundamental gulf, the true
"NBA-ization" of English football will touch its
marketing. The PL already dominateds the world
and will expand this domination, particularly on
the asian market. It will from now be visible from
Friday to Monday. Its the return of the Empire on
which the sun never sets.

Many analysts in europe are already worried.
They call it the "NBA-ification" of europe by england where all the best players in the world run to england.
English clubs have suffered too much from the likes of barcelona and real madrid poaching their best players and making the clubs uncompetitive.
I can't wait to see english clubs giving barcelona and real madrid a real spanking every season.

no mind that guy. Who told him Awoniyi is not in Europe? @CSTR2, no dey talk wetin you no know.

Kalmar of Sweden sought Awoniyi, but agent wuruwuru spoilt the deal. Currently the likes of Man United and Monaco are watching him, even your Kelechi's City. Just wait and see how Awoniyi will progress. No be who shine pass for youth stage dey better pass for adulthood
Okay then.
We will see.
Talent is not hidden.
You have it or you don't.

ziqqz:
by what do you judge a striker?

goals: awoniyi 2 (check!)
assists: awoniyi 3. or 4? (check!)

i still think ur analytic ability needs a bit of tweaking here and there
In how many minutes of football played.?
You don't just judge a striker like that..
He has played far more minutes than isaac and iheanacho .
And not to forget the fact that he wastes tons of easy chances before converting one or two.
I think you guys are not being disapassionate in your support for him which is not surprising because awoniyi is humble and has a lot of workrate.
But there is only so much workrate can do, sorry.

ziqqz:
his feet are doing the talking
and folks appreciate the shift he puts in
even the blind can testify to his work rate
no greater argument than that
Work rate is not everything.
He is obviously smart enough to compensate for his striking deficiencies with above average work rate.
But work rate alone won't make you a great striker.

go and get your facts right
Awoniyi has been trying out in Europe the last few weeks
he's only yet to put pen to paper
google is not too far away if you have no info
Of course he is still "trying out" in europe when the other two are already settled in europe since the U-17 and making instant impact.
Anyway it looks like the sentiment for awoniyi is pretty strong here.

average, if not poor, analysis

this is what excess PlayStation causes

*carry go*
What is there to analyse?
Both players have better positioning, hold-up play and are much more lethal than awoniyi.
Is it any wonder no club in europe is falling over themselves for awoniyi.

Since they've decided to humiliate the office of the presidency under GEJ even in foreign forums, then we will gladly continue that tradition.

The overflow from Jonathan's incompetence will continue for a while.

Don't under estimate the damage GEJ and the PDP implicated on Nigeria. If you expect the bloom of PDP planted destruction to stop on the day Jonathan leaves the villa , you must be a novice with the thought process of a kitchen blender.

was it not same APC that said Nigeria can fight BH alone only a few months ago? In all fairness APC and Buhari should apologise to GEJ.
GEJ doesn't need their worthless apologies.
What APC need to do is fufill their campaign promises and quickly stop these needless deaths and insecurity.
That is all Nigerians want from them.

Anything short of that is injustice.
