LeSudAfricaine:
it has actually regressed, play is too physical. Around the early 2000s African football was at a very high level

This game was physical but the athleticism and speed were top notch. Better than most games in the last tournament.

Not a bad game at all compared to any game I watched at the last Afcon.

onlyhope:
Hello, how can one watch this match online?

Hesgoal.com

Mehn I like the quality of this game so far.

The metric was specifically contribution to the exchequer: both were top.

I can't tell if you were speaking Latin here.

Ohh fk off! Even by the typical standards of this place that's a mentally challenged statement.

Lebanese earning salaries from Nigeria and having the capacity to build things in their undeveloped villages shows they were high earners. Nigerians also built a lot of homes in their villages and some in cities. Many also bought houses in Dubai. Now in the Buhari era you may not have such cash flowing everywhere but it was so in those days especially from the late 1990's to 2013.

To me, I thought she spoke more negatively about Ghana from her own honest review but surprisingly it was the Kenyans who came at her in the comment section.
Still I think she likes Nairobi though. But the Kenyans were having none of it when she implied they seem to love Indians/foreigners too much
She also implied that the maids in Kenya have no problem washing her undies unlike in Ghana and this may have also triggered some of those Kenyans .

I NEVER asked you for my character assessment! I asked you twice about Miziara, the N Lebanese village of multi million dollar mansions built by Naij money and their hold along with other foreigners like Stallion CEO over your economy.
Pls respond to that. I debate, usually with adults of my intellect- if you can't or won't respond like a reasonably intelligent adult male, no biggie!

The fact that they could build a whole village by just being salary earners in Nigeria across various sectors (while not even being amongst the top business owners in the country) shows you how big the Nigerian economy is. It's thesame reason why a Nigerian can pay 15000 pounds to send his/her child to the UK or 20000 dollars school fees to the U.S. Many Nigerians were also high earners but all of these was probably 6-10 years ago and beyond.

These are the top ten businesses in Nigeria controlling the Nigerian economy. Do you see Stallion there or any Lebanese Company?

lunatic

You're desperate looking for a 2013 article...


It takes few hours to claim a container from the port and an additional 13 hours drive to get it to somewhere like Burkina Faso

That one always mixes up the truth in a bid to lie. When he wants to lie, he mixes up everything combining old information with new information. If you don't check his facts properly you would be fooled.

Reminiscing about how far female football has come in Nigeria, it's just sad where we are today (I'm particular about football administration and not talent).

Was speaking with someone yesterday, and I said to him, we as a nation have better odds winning the Women's World cup than we'll ever have winning the men's world cup. The ladies have consistently over the years dominated Africa, with the needed support they can replicate same sadly the support isn't there.

The support is there now but it came too late, it came at a time when we no longer majorly depend on new talents from our league and grassroots. We need to go back to the youth competitions and grassroots and also concentrate on our U17's and U20's.

This is how the Akide's and Nkwocha's and even the Chikwelu's were discovered.
Amaju's style is to focus on foreign born players. While that is good, our youth teams have not been so strong since 2014.

I agree with you, Super falcons have a higher chance of winning the World Cup before the Super Eagles.

Me I started watching female football in 2004 Olympics. The style of play of the Nkwocha's, Vera Okolo's, Akide's, and Mbuachu's was phenomenal. I watched our games against Japan and Germany. Going into the Afcon later that year 2004, I already knew the African teams there stood no chance even without Mercy Akide.
Strange as it may sound, I started following football keenly in 2004 though because of two teams in the world that caught my fancy then...

Arsenal Invincibles...2003/2004
The stylish super falcons....2004 era.

I didn't really pay much attention to the super eagles then surprisingly.

Shma:
You started the noise, and I'm giving you my piece. I can ignore the nonsense of samboro and engage you for the disrespect - a disrespect is when someone from the irrelevant country is busy on the neck of a big country like kenya trying to prove a sh*t

This guy, you underrate Ghana too much, I don't know why. Maybe you should travel and see or at least do some research. Ghana is now attracting more tourists than Kenya and they are showing the beautiful side of Ghana I never knew existed.

kikuyu2:
Careful with these lists. Many hide their wealth. The Ndegwas of NCBA are dollar billionaires. Mwangi of Equity owns wayyyy more thanks to fronts, subsidiaries and and hidden holding companies. I personally know of 2 Kikuyus, both billionaires who should be on the list but are silent movers.

Wealth cannot be hidden. For instance, Elon musk no matter how much he tries to hide, his blueprints are everywhere. Same with Dangote and BUA or Tony Elumelu. They may not even have much in their Bank Accounts but the worth of their investments cannot be hidden even if they themselves would like to hide it.
Your argument is similar to that of many Nigerians who believe the Nnewi Billionares in Nigeria are the richest men in Nigeria but they are hiding. I have lived in Anambra and I know there are Nnewi Billionaires. But if their investments are not big enough, then it doesn't matter how much they have in their Bank Accounts, they would still not be considered big enough.

Crazy guy,there are 9 Indians (IndianKenyans) on the list, 8 politicians and the rest are irrelevant business people with total wealth of about $100m,and what do you have to say about this pic Bellow?

These Kenyans play the race card when it comes to South Africa but here they are begging us not to play the race card

samorobo:
Are you saying I shouldn’t proceed with the show. I have such great plan to explore Kenya outside the three Indian slumpolis cbd.
Talk of rongai,thika and even down to Arab republic like lamu and Mombasa. You should be happy,we just want to celebrate your national infrastructural advancement since 1962

He's scared

Great show. The pictures were clear and professionally taken. Can't wait for next season.

why are you deceiving that illiterate? This is not fair

Indians are the second largest employers in Nigeria after the federal government.

Quite false. The lady said that in the meeting with Indians to make the Indian Investors happy. We know the Indian and Lebanese businesses in Nigeria. They are not the largest and this is why they are not even amongst the ten richest businesses in Nigeria. The case is different with Kenya.
Agriculture is the largest employer of labour in Nigeria. Indians do not dominate that sector, neither do they dominate the oil or banking sector, so how can they be the second largest employer of labour?
Note Nigerian politicians have always had the tendency to sweet talk when they want to benefit from you. They do it to us all the time talkless of new Indian Investors they want to attract.

rvp2018:
Obasanjo made him a billionaire - through import restrictions and arbitrage - and anti-market practises. He will never impress anybody. If he was impressive Harvard Business School would study him

Import restriction is not a bad thing. Especially when we had no reason to be second largest importer of cement in the world.

68816419:
Indians are our slaves

Exactly. The guy is so ignorant thinking we are like them little Indians because we employ a few Indians. The Indians are the employers of labour in Kenya, that's the difference , a huge difference at that.

rvp2018:
Dangote Sugar - run by an Indian -RAVINDRA SINGH SINGHVI GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO
Dangote Cement - run by an indian
Dangote Refinery - run by an indian
Dangote Jet - probably driven by an indian.
Dangote Food Aid distribution to Almajiris of KANO city like you - Dangote Sons and Daughters.

How many Indians do you think are in Dangote cement and refinery? Besides Dangote refinery has 29000 Nigerians. Your country Kenya has Indians as owners of your major businesses. That's a tragedy .

gallivant:
Focus friend, focus!

Kenya has the biggest slum in their capital .

rvp2018:
Let me try again. Dangote a salt merchant has employed thousands of Indians in his companies - running all critical operations - except the dishing out of almas to Almajiris like you- that he does with his kids.

Salt, Cement, Flour,Rice. However cement made him a billionare. You can see that you are becoming a laughing stock here. Just admit you were ignorant and we move on . This is not the first time.

rvp2018:
Let me try again. Dangote a salt merchant has employed thousands of Indians in his companies - running all critical operations - except the dishing out of almas to Almajiris like you- that he does with his kids.

Employed some of his Indian friends for the refinery (not all his businesses), because as he said, the Indian guy was his employee since 1992 and they both took their time, first to study the pattern of refinery in India and replicate thesame until the idea to build something bigger evolved in Dangote's mind.

rvp2018:
Entire operation is run by Indians. You dont expect someone who was selling salt to understand manufacturing.

Sorry, there are a few top Indian leaders who worked with Dangote since 1992, but entire operation is not run by Indians, try again.

rvp2018:
Selling salt and sugar cannot make you rich. What make you rich is bribing politicians in Abuja to enact policies that block imports - and allow a few connected people to import. Then eventually you start your own silly company that produce locally and sell useless cement for 3 times the price.

In normal countries people get rich in tech and such industries - not in selling cement, salt and sugar.

Or you think Dangote discovered cement

He did not become automatically rich by selling salt and sugar, but he gradually transformed into a top billionare from around 2001 when Obasanjo called all top cement dealers and announced the plan to ban importation. Cement was his catapult and the backbone of his billionare status. Give up already, I have done extensive research on these things studying both sides.

rvp2018:
What difference does it make. Do you think Dangote will give your a ride on his private jet because you're black...or he will give his Indian executives. The entire Dangote operation is run by Indians.

Give me an ethical indian like Chandaria ANY DAY ANY TIME.

Chandaria basically run you steel industry and you wont even know it because he is humble

Now you are worshipping your Indian lord . No wonder you guys are called little indians . Even that black American lady on Youtube confirmed it and the kenyans were mad at her in the comment section .

rvp2018:
Ever heard of oligopoly. That means a group of billionaire decide rather than competing and bringing down the prices - they connive and jack the prices. That is Nigeria.

Free market economy need serious regulations. Nigeria federal gov is under captured by few northern elites.

The list I showed you has only two Northerners in it. So that conspiracy theory you just reiterated is Hogwash. Besides, the Northerners may be the poorest but the Kano people (where both Dangote and BUA come from) have always been business people and they are the closest from the North to the Igbo character in terms of business acumen. Dangote's Dantata family was also the richest in West Africa as a trader in the 1950's. Dangote started trading way back in 1977.

rvp2018:
Why would the cost of producing cement be that different? You have natural gas and Dangote get it for free?

Dangote using anti-market practise does he things - he crushed the opponents - then jack the prices. He controls 60 percent of cement market in Nigeria.

In kenya we have Competition Authority that will not allow such practises.

But before you even get there - deal with serious issues in your messed up economy where a few enjoy advantage of arbitrage and import restriction

That is how an IDIOT LIKE DANGOTE WHO WAS RECENTLY HAWKING SALT AND SUGAR IS NOW A BILLIONAIRE.

The bolded is false. I have given you proof to show that his prices are not so different from that of his competitors in Nigeria. I am giving you proof, you give me proof not sentiments or beer parlour news you got from tribalistic Nigerians.

rvp2018:
Why dont you convert to Kshs....they are at least twice more expensive.

That's not because of monopoly but the cost of production in Nigeria. You can see their prices are all high not just Dangote.

gallivant:
A bag of cement in Nigeria costs 4 times the price in Kenya. Why would we allow that criminal in the country? Let him milk you fools dry with his monopolies and shady business practices.

Dangote has no monopoly in cement in Nigeria. See my snapshot in the post above, all of those guys are in business. Dangote certainly doesn't need Kenya (anymore than he needs Zimbabwe for instance). He already has cement plants in Ethiopia and Tanzania, and he has two plants in South Africa.
