I'm surprised people are talking like this. He once gave attention to Eyimba and those years were there best.

Furthermore, it's not that the man wants to carry money and just dash out. It's purely an investment. He'll make his money back. What profits really wants to come from a club in Nigerian league at the moment?

octavian:

I believe the best way to view it strategically is Kalu buying Arsenal, then coming back to buy Eyimba in the future.

Once he secures both in his bag, there can sign an agreement between both clubs for players loan exchange, buying young players from Eyimba to Arsenal, loaning of youngsters to Arsenal, friendlies between both clubs as a means of revenue, coach exchange program, such as more training and building knowledge for the local coaches, investment into health science between clubs, bringing technology into the mix

There could be benefits assuming that will be his adopted model, so it might be a good move afterall

Everybody keeps saying he should invest in Eyimba.......no serious business minded person will invest in a team that plays in a league that has no sponsor, league that doesn't pay winners.....That's why all the teams in the Nigerian league r own by state government aside from mfm which is basically a youth empoerment scheme of mfm n ifeanyi uba for political influence....as long as Nigeria league is still managed the way it's managed, no serious investor think twice about it

Yea- But I differ a little here. Orji Uzor Kalu did it while he was a Governor with less than 10m dollars if not lesser. It was a success. Enyimba became the biggest team in Africa. Italian, Spain etc teams were all calling for friendlies. Imagine if it has continued like that. There is no mega investment in Nigeria by Private sector that has failed. (Check). This is over 200million market 5 x that of London. Dangote is richer than all the Premier teams joined together, the bulk of the money (70%) came from Nigeria business. MTN, DSTV the same. Our music industry was not rated anywhere in the world before 2003, Private investors came with far less than 100m Dollars today we are far ahead of UK, arguably No3 in the world . So why can it be done n football. I think we love football more than music.

Can you remember how English league was before Premiership ? If you do you can not say this. It was soo bad that they have to bring in school children and military to sit on the stadium to fill spaces. We all call it kick and follow league. But today it is a different case. Why ?they started investing on their own thing and others join. Africa wake up, no body will do it for you. China has started, in 20years now we say the same thing and forgot how they started. Nigeria has more potential than the Premier League. We are 200million for goodness sake. If Dangote can do it in Nigeria in recent time in Sugar and Flour not in Uk (No Uk business man could do that to worth over $25b). Orji Uzor Kalu can do it. Tp Mazambe did it in Congo with less than 100m Dollars. If 50% of that is invested in Enyimba, Arsenal will be their youth team.

Before you support Enyema, pls answer this question...

If I have money, as a private investor, will I invest in Arsenal FC or Enyimba of Aba??

This is business people, you don't attach sentiment. He can show more support for Enyimba, but to invest billions of pounds into it, is a waste time.

Before you tell me that he looted the money from Nigeria, it his loot. it belongs to him now, besides Nigerians generally don't hate corruption, they only hate the fact that they are not the ones doing the corruption! kiss the truth.

He didn't do it with his personl money so he wasn't expecting any return.

Fine Nigeria is a huge market but what is the purpose of market when theirs no product to market??

Nigeria league as it right now is not viable... Glo nd Mtn where at a time fighting for the sponsorship of the league, the 2 of them r still in nigeria yet the league has no sponsor for liks 5yrs now, do u understand SWOT analysis better than those companies？

The league is not viable as it is at the moment.... The league hasn't been concluded twice in 3yrs now, can u put ur money on such venture??

Good one. But with such investment, He will detect the business not Government. That is where I based my write-up. Nio the present system of Government and NFF.

I agree with ur point but u know all those feat achieved in music can't b replicated in football cos government r 100% interested in it.....do u remember the decree 101 saga of 06/07 between FIFA ND NFF?.....even FIFA had to back down cos u can't just separate government from football in Nigeria

Our money wen he theif na he wan take go buy arsenal chaii

I get ur point, u just don't get mine. Am not disputing everything u said.

Everything can only work if the people running the football administration wants it t work....theres a level to which development policies will reach before investors will start coming in.

Some powerfull people r benefiting from the way our football is today ND those people will never allow it to work.

No private business owner will invest his money in a venture that the govt is 100% interested in......its just bad for business

Oga Private investor, charity they say begins at home. How can our own develope if they keep siphoning our stolen commonwealth overseas. Had the British that developed Arsenal before foreigners began to take interest in it ferried the money to the US, would there be Arsenal today for this thief to want to go there? This is same with every facet of development in Nigeria. They wont develope health facilities because they are in UK for common flu. NOTHING IS WORKING & PEOPLE LIKE YOU KEEP BACKING THEM. Let us not defend evil after all, he STOLE the money here.

I strongly disagree with you. About corruption, there are some Nigerians who are not corrupt, there are some Nigerians who would never steal, covert other peoples properties and who would never scam other people of their savings.

I know it’s hard to believe but such Nigerians exist.
There are Nigerians who genuinely want the country and its people to flourish.

Nigeria is blessed with talents and abundant resources. Any Nigerian politician neglecting the huge opportunities in Nigeria to invest abroad simply hasn’t seen the goldmine that stares at him in his back yard. Orji Uzor is one of them. Dangote at one point was said to be interested in Newcastle before Mark Ashley acquired it. It might business foresight for these men but I see them as traitors.

Let Orji Uzor invest and trust me, he would become another Thakshin Shinawatra.

Enyeama’s advice is a good one. He could see the potentials in Enyimba. Nigeria youths need some motivation to explode. I cry when I see talents wasted.
Orji Uzor was my hero during the Enyimba day’s. He turned the Aba club into an indomitable one. Who would believe that a Nigerian clubside filled with only local talents would go to Ghana and beat Ashanti Kotoko back to back and beat North African clubs effortlessly in their backyard??

Pinnick is travelling round the globe looking for already made stars with Nigeria root. That is laziness and stupidity. A fraction of the money being wasted could be used to provide facilities and nurture talents in Nigeria.

Orji Uzor Kalu can make profits investing in Enyimba. Enyimba could be returned to its glorious days and players from there could earn them mega money during transfers....instead of what exists now.
