The hunger and hardship is caused by the british not really the politicians.

the answer in summary is = north had a continuous deficit balance of payment yearly until 1914..

which means all the money north including all the 19 states in the north has been getting since 1914 to 2025 has been the surplus of southern Nigeria's wealth ( which also means all the I:G:R reports are fake especially the ones from the north ).

which also means if southern Nigeria's surplus can take care of 19 states in the north then if 1914 amalgamation never happened southern Nigeria would have no poverty at all ..

and in 1914, Crude oil had not been found in Southern Nigeria yet.. so imagine how well that surplus improves after 1960.

What most people don't realise is that since 1914 Nigeria has been surviving on southern Nigeria's money.

Look, I am a strong advocate against neo imperialism but if you want to exempt your politicians from the problem, then you are not ready to develop.

Our Political leadership is a cancer.

our economies are not the same due to wyte people controlling the power of currencies around the world and ensuring that black people's currencies are low....

only black countries that have a wyte population that has been living there since 1800s have good currencies...

I said I agree with the currency issue.
Aside from that, does sports do here what it does in the UK?
Abi, how else do you want me to write it.

Let us say N1 = $1 tomorrow morning. Will that transform us to the biggest sports industry in the world even in the next fifty years?

Below is your major concern not grammatical construction:

How much was the annual turnover in Nigeria Football history when their female counterpart were rewarded with three bedroom flat in 1994? and I ask again, will 160m be sufficient to buy a land and build three bedroom flat in an high brow area in Abuja nowadays?

Go and answer the proper issues I listed for you. Why is it so important to house each one of them in "an eyebow" (your spelling) area in Abuja? By the way - the govt promised them property in addition to the $100k - so that is already separate.

If you are not ready to think properly please just enjoy yourself. It appears you think that for a struggling African nation in the grips of its greatest hardship since independence, splurging in this way is top most priority. There are security issues to think of. What do your policemen (who secure LIVES DAILY) earn? How many people are mass murdered weekly in Nigeria? But for you the bling-bling of this waste is more important.

Everything is about priorities. You cannot have starving children and insist on spending as though you are a billionaire. It doesnt make sense. When it comes to the suffering masses they say "make sacrifices" - but if your president wants to dash away $15 Trillion to his buddy in the name of one contract, you will close your eyes. If your President wants an expensive new Jet you will close your eyes. If your President wants 15 vacations a year in France, you will close your eyes. Continue. I wasnt talking about you personally when I said you will get the government you deserve. It is a general saying that a people get the leadership they deserve.

It is Western influence that devalues the naira, which spoils the purchasing power of every Nigerian and causes Nigeria to struggle.

you 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 )..

the 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...

South Africa R2.59 trillion is equal to $138.5 billion due to the whyte boers that lives there.

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

Completely Agree. Nonetheless our economies are not the same. Sport doesnt earn in Nigeria what it does in the UK. So no one should be telling me how the UK spends equally on education and sport and we must mimic them.

ArcSEMPECJ:
First of all, I hope you are of age to discuss with me , that's the most paramount thing ....

You said Salaries of footballers ......now the $5m , is it part of their salaries

How much does NFA pay those players As Salaries
Don't be surprised to hear that they are being owed by NFA very soon ...
How do they even protect the players welfare internationally

This attitude of our dear President was the same attitude seen when he removed fuel subsidy without first consulting relevant stakeholders and economists to checkmate the effects of what removing the subsidy can cause ...
No one just wakes up to lavish wealth he or she is not the owner...
We know $100,000 per player is ordinary to the Government but have you checked what is lacking in other sectors

Go and browse how much the Government of England gave the England female team for winning the same cup then come back and tell me about a skull that is empty , but proving wise ...

Thank you very much. Well said. Truth is, you will find the guy is probaly 20 years old.

How much was the annual turnover in Nigeria Football history when their female counterpart were rewarded with three bedroom flat in 1994? and I ask again, will 160m be sufficient to buy a land and build three bedroom flat in an eyebrow area in Abuja nowadays?

Did you just write "an eyebrow" area?

Omonigeriarere:
If you have a personal Vedanta with Tinubu, I don't have problem with that.

A price of a plot of land in a prestigious area like Maitama in Abuja is around N600m nowadays. It is around N152m in Asokoro area too(google is there for you to confirm).

So, who actually benefits more between them and their male counterparts who won in 1994 and were given a well furnished three bedroom flat in this areas at at 1994? so, what do you mean by lavishness?

You are even justifying the action of President by your premises because nobody is given them salaries. Even is Europe, Athletes are paid higher than other professionals.

You have no clue what you are discussing.

If you had kept your brain somewhere around you, the things you would think of are -

1. State of the current economy

2. Relative impact

3. Considerations with respect to other sectors with outstandings

4. Value of the tournament in terms of income as well as PR

5. Psychological message to professionals owed (in education, health etc)

6. Reward propriety and scaling

7. Income of recipients

8. Private sector and sub national rewards for same team - loading

9. Perception of excess at a time of hardship.

But no oooooh. You would rather throw around insults before you think.

stevebond007:
Simmer down your sarcasm, the UK knows sports is important as education...but you seemingly arguing otherwise.

UK Annual Budget (2024 Spending) - £1.279 trillion - That is 2.59 Quadrillion Nigerian Naira

Our current budget? - Circa £24.5 billion.

Do you want to continue comparing?

Omonigeriarere:
Just an insight; no fight! Remember, their 160m can not buy land and build three bedroom flats in Abuja nowadays if compared with how the male counterparts were rewarded in 1994.

Oga oh, thank you for your insight oh. E be like say na you sabi pass. I bow down for you wella.

Annual Turnover, UK Football Industry - £6.3 billion - that is - 12.75 Trillion Naira (Premier League alone oh)

Annual Turnover, Nigerian Football Industry - ?

You had better put on your thinking cap before speaking.

stevebond007:
Simmer down your sarcasm, the UK knows sports is important as education...but you seemingly arguing otherwise.

Thank you again sir.

You have educated me again, say UK sabi say sports dey important equally as education.

Na better new information be dis oh.

Omonigeriarere:
I don't actually have a relation nor friend among them, even a distant one. But wining a competition like this is one time opportunity for many of them, because it is one thing for you to be a good footballer and it is another thing for you to be discovered and called up.

We should look at it as a compensation for their past unseen and unappreciated efforts and investment in their future.

Oga, I say I no dey fight you. E be like say I loss my brain somewhere. I go go try find am. Thank you sir.

Omonigeriarere:
Their male counterparts enjoys the same thing when they won; they are not in the monthly payroll of FG; footballers have lower professional life span; they are not entitled to bribery and corruption ravaging the public offices as a side hustle.


My explanation is sufficient and it is actually meant for people who can locate where their brain is and make use of it.

Enjoy oh my broda. I loss my brain, and I no dey fight you.

Omonigeriarere:
Whether you are in a third world country or not is not the question. I am sure that if these players are on the monthly payroll of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, they cannot get this kind of compensation.

An average footballers has less than 15 years to spend in the limelight and some might be clubless within the same 15 years. We dont need to reason with anus always.

You deserve the country / leadership / thinking you deserve. Good luck.

Celestialsword:
sport is a major sources of income to the UK unlike Nigeria

Thank you.

The stevebond007 you are responding to thought it important to educate us of the fact that there are many stadia and schools in the UK.

My goodness a thing we never knew.

May God bless him for helping us with such information.

Jesus!

Omonigeriarere:
Your question should be directed to the lawmakers and executives in the first instance. This is because they need to justify their salaries too. However, have you asked yourself why the salaries of the footballers is greater than any other profession in europe?

Footballer has averagely 10 years to spend in the limelight, compared to other professionals. Get this drilled into your skull.

We are a third world country with a wrecked economy, get that into your head.

Adakintroy:
Pseudo moralities



The case of Judas complaining about the expensive perfume given to christ. How he should be used for helping the poor.

It's more a reward for success. Strive for success and you will get more at your level. It's not everyday people succeed. It's rare. that's why it's compensated. Maybe next afcon they won't make it pass the quarters. They won't get nothing either.

Its not everyone everyday that can become a professor, you know? Is that not success?

stevebond007:
They are both important and valuable, that is why UK has many stadiums as well as schools.

It is well.

I wasn't aware that the United Kingdom has many stadia and schools.

Thank you for this information.

Unpopular opinion:Truth be told nothing stops Professors and other academician seeking grants if they have laudable research that may lead to profitable patent to augment the income.

Lol. Nigeria my country.

Continue.

lacade:
The federal Government is not giving them money, they are only sharing the prize money from CAF and FIFA.

We often say things we don't have idea about.

The victory comes with the trophy and cash.

What was given already far exceeds the prize money.

Samuche2000:
He did that to incur votes for 2027 election. Just imagine where the money came out from!
Nothing will stop him to ensure that doctors and other professions are paid well too.

@ The bold - I dont think you know anything about your country.

HE WILL NOT DO IT.

stevebond007:
They deserve better, that's the emphasis...compare them with their colleagues elsewhere.

You dont even want to go there. If you do, you will find that their colleagues elsewhere are paid in hundreds of thousands of USD per annum!
At least lets cut our coat according to our size.

Sport is valuable but please its not more valuable than education!!!!!!!

fredoooooo:
Go and pay them in your pocket.
God bless the girls .. God bless Mr president..God bless Nigeria

Well, if it were up to me, I would think the monthly salary of a Professor should not be less than N10 Million.
Are you willing to say "Go and pay the the Professors with your pocket?"

I hope you know most professors in Nigeria earn about N500k Monthly as salary. An amount that cannot take them a few days.

stevebond007:
Those girls did us proud, they deserve all the rewards and bonuses. They work hard for it.

Of course.

But what do you think our Professors deserve? N500k Monthly? As salary? Really?

Its not as though the girls should not be celebrated. They should of course. Its just that when you put that into context with Professors earning N500K Monthly in this country, it certainly is something to wonder about.

wirinet:
That's not possible. Most African leaders especially the elected ones are tied to western countries and their interests. Most have double citizenship, their families live in these countries, and they hide Most of their stolen assets there.

Solution? The Sahel way?
Are you saying Democracy cannot work for us... I vaguely remember you saying so a while back.

wirinet:
I can tell you for free than Benin and Cameroon have more stable economies than Nigeria. In Nigeria you cannot predict anything beyond a few months. Policies change and reversed overnight without warnings. You exchange rate moves like a leaf blowing about in a rain storm. Price of petrol and energy is as predictable as a mental patient. You cannot do any long term planning in Nigeria.

I swear.

Bola gang please come and tell us one more time how wonderful Bola's handling of Nigeria is.
Just so we remain grateful for his sacrifices in protecting us by ensuring his eternal wealth and power.

i think i missed the question mark.
Are you boxer? Who is always right? What do you mean to be sorted, is it paid?

Dont worry my friend, just carry on with the noble work of being a yes-man. Goodluck.

These numerics deceive no one. Once you put the key appointments which hold the economy and security in one place, thats all.
And Bola has put them all in one place.

Image123:
Are you boxer, who is always right?

Lol. You don't even know the story.
Don't worry. Enjoy your worship.

When the dust settles, hope you will be sorted.

lordm:
Obi where art thou?

ADC or LP?

My best bet for Obi is to be VP to Atiku.

That's a guaranteed victory combination

If he can't see that clearly, then he was never destined to be president, and would also have made a bad and selfish president.

LordReed:
It's like speaking to 5 year old bent on being ridiculous but with none of the charm. LoLz.

Gbam! You get it. Someone else on this thread was doing something similar and I subtly had to try to find out his age - because I thought - this cannot be an adult?

What is annoying me is that at a point I was thinking, ah maybe one needs to be patient and take it step by step, this stranger may sincerely not be able to put one and two together. Honestly. From my "church" mind.

Enter Mohammed and the Flying Horse and vooom! He can see the point!

So in truth its all the same "my voodoo is real history but the voodoo of others are myths."
