Between the 1960s and the 1980s, under the guise of "countering Communism," the CIA infiltrated Christian movements all over Africa and the Global South with the mission of steering Christian doctrines away from so-called "Liberation Theology" (teachings that encouraged people to stand up to corrupt governments and take collective action to better their lives), because this doctrine apparently was "Communist."

It funded and assisted the explosive growth of a whole new form of Christianity, which you recognise today as Prosperity Gospel, and it pumped millions of dollars into pushing it all over the Global South as part of its Cold War effort. This new doctrine ignored any kind of collectivism and encouraged people to see their Christian faith and salvation as individualistic issues that can be measured with specific individual outcomes, such as economic "blessing."

It was the perfect capitalist trojan horse because it convinced people to stop thinking of progress as a shared national issue and rather as an individual responsibility, which meant they did not need to organise into pressure groups, political movements, trade unions, student unions, or any other collectivist entities that the US government considered "Leftist" or "Communist." It succeeded wildly, and turned the world's poorest people in Sub Saharan Africa into rabid, money-obsessed capitalists without capital.

And in case you're wondering whether this means that all your mega pastors in Lagos and Abuja are US government-funded industry plants, the answer is simple: do a 1-minute Google search and find out where they all gained their theology degree or pastor training. There's your answer.

Anyway this is all on open record on the FOIA section of the CIA's own website, but the oyibos have convinced you that "Africans don't read," and you have internalised your own false stereotype, so you definitely won't read regardless. Your job is to enter my comment sections and drop laughing emojis because your forced laughter is your coping mechanism for dealing with how completely powerless and lost you are in a world you haven't begun to understand.

Anyway for the benefit of the 2 people who understand the value of reading and exervising their brains:

I’m hearing that Senegal may be thrown out of the World Cup due to FIFA and CAF “rules” that impose a minimum of 4-game suspensions for national teams that walk off from competitive matches without the authorization of the referee. 🙆🏽‍♂️😲

But the mitigating factor in Senegal’s favor is that they all returned to the field after 10 minutes, and not all Senegalese players walked off the pitch.

I reasoned it would be a $7-9m project for a deep rehabilitation as far as there is no serious remodeling.

For $17m anything less than world class tech should attract EFCC and DSS

💯 agreed, especially on your 2nd sentence 😁

₦90bn is about $63m. That's like a 10-15k football specific stadium bro

A sports complex of National stadium capacity will be upwards of $450m

It depends on factors such as cost of importation of the materials, the cost of their import, cost of labor etc.
The Moroccans spent only $75 million to construct the 69,000 capacity stadium that just hosted the AFCON final. And when you factor in the cost of labor, which wouldn’t be much different than what you have in Naija, it’s entirely feasible to budget between 90 - 110 billion for 60k capacity arena in Naija

Odunayaw:
About $17m

My educated guess, it's inflated. It's not even as dilapidated as the Lagos one.

Yes, as with most Naija govt projects. But I think this one was “only” inflated by $4-$5 million..

The same stadium which was rehabilitated by Dqngote some years back

True, and Dangote spent close to 1 billion; although the scope of work, at the time, was limited to improvements of the pitch.

Perfect lineup

But papa gueye stole iwobi place with that winner against Morocco ,he wasn’t close to iwobi level at the tournament

Fairs sha

Right. The Iwobi/Gueye position was my only objection to the line up. But, overall, that team is good enough to reach the WC round of 16

Mind you, Morrocco is looking to bid for AFCON 2028 in preparation for the 2030 world cup

Won’t be surprised if Morocco win that bid, especially as there is also a counter bid from Botswana-South Africa.

Motsepe could, in the interest of “fair play” urge his EXCO to award the hosting rights to Morocco, all in a bid to paint him as an “unbiased” president 🤣

Ndidi should be phased out for Nnadi. We have to work to World Cup cycles. Ndidi will be paraplegic by next world cup

You haven't seen this guy David Moses who plays for Slavia Prague. Highest valued player in Czech league. That guy good die. Next no 8/ no 10 who should be called up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLosRIec5Uw?si=xpIZMjvKX4t6byMq

Ndidi can play at next year’s AFCON, but that should be his last tournament for the Super Eagles. Then, if we qualify for the 2030 WC, the dude in the Czech league, Nnadi, Iwobi, Carney Chukwuemeka (if FIFA approves his switch) could form the nucleus of our midfield at that tournament.

As for Onyedika, from what I’ve seen, he can only thrive in matches where our opponents are either parking the bus or playing counter-attacking football. He cannot thrive in a game where the opponents press high up the pitch and/or engage in mid-pressing.
