your point is archaic you cannot compare the popularity of the Afcon to the caf champions league. Africa is large and underdeveloped in terms of transport system 2 leg final is the best after all eyimba went to Egypt and still won't the caf champions league back then

So it's about popularity now?

The point is if Africans are sufficiently motivated, they will make it to match venues regardless of transport conditions and perceived poverty levels.
Once again, a very large part of the spectators will come from the host country.

Remember host venues will be announced at least two years in advance so people are not just caught unawares.

BTW how can a point be archaic?

I'm not surprised at the low response you're getting because you've chosen to believe that only a married lady can give a business idea that fits your 'situation'. Issokay let we single hanties sip our zobo.. E go be!

Very petty!

OK, Zamalek vs TP Mazembe at Teslim Balogun Stadium. Will you travel down to Agege and pay N500 to enter the stadium and travel back home just to watch this match?

Two, the Ahly vs Esperance game on TV, did you watch it? If you did, how many people watched it on your street? Why then do you think South Africans will watch it?

Three, Sundowns and Bidvest were in the same CAF Champs League this season. How many people watched their home games live?

Case rested.

The African cup of nations is hosted by one or at most two countries.
Who are the people that watch them?

Are they Europeans?

Do they not travel from across various nations to the match venues?

Why are they not hampered by the poor travel conditions and the poverty of the citizens as you claim?

He is the one who taught me BBW.

Jesu!
He must have been a very bad nigga!

kjhova:
There is nothing to grow beyond here. Reality in Africa is different from what obtains in Europe and we don't have to do things the same way.

Africa is a bigger continent than Europe with more countries and poorer citizens and travel conditions.

Imagine Ahly (Egypt) vs Esperance (Tunisia) final played as one leg game in Capetown South Africa. The distance is farther than Lagos-London and cost more. Imagine the costs to the teams, journalists, fans of both clubs etc. How many will be able to make the trip? How many South Africans will bother to pay to attend the match? It will be a dry game played in an empty stadium.

Hope you get the point.

South Africans would watch it.
Even in European finals, a very large number of the spectators are constituted by people from the hosting nation.

Princedapace:
The one leg final seems right to u becus it is done in Europe.. And u have never sat down to know why some continents play two leg final abi.

That is one problem with millions of Nigerians.. They don't have the power of research and critical reasoning..

Now, Africa is very large in land mass. Unlike Europe, countries are few drive away from one another..

U can imagine a final between an Egyptian team and a Nigerian team. How many Nigerian fans can travel to let sey South Africa to watch the final?

Also, if Ahly is playing in Nigeria, how many of u will come out to watch it?

Unlike European clubs, African clubs don't have large fan base outside their home countries..

Unlike Europeans, Africans are not rich. Have u checked how much it cost to travel to Egypt for example.. How many Nigerians can afford such luxury just to go and watch football?

They tried this one leg final but it didn't work. Fans couldn't travel. Europe is close to one another, they have train network properly working..

Tell African govt to do more to link African countries together..

U don't have to insult Africans for this..


Finally, I'm sure if Europeans are doing two leg final, and Africans are doing one leg final, u would have insulted Africans for doing one leg final..

One leg final only seem right to u becus Europeans do it. Not only Africa do this two leg final, okay.

Keep quiet.

A two legged final is archaic.

Even CAF has contemplated changing it!

Let me tell you a true life story- mine.

I was in 200 level, age 22 when I met this man, let's call him Paul.

Paul was very well educated, was running his PHD and was very comfortable when I met him. Paul was also 39 years old; 17 years my Senior.

22 year old me found his outpouring of affections very intriguing. I found his maturity very alluring while he found the prospect of being the first person to 'enter the place' a complete novelty. (I was still a virgin at that age).

Paul wooed me with vigour and alacrity because I was his spec- BBW, homely, studious and very Christian. All my favourite gospel songs are gifts from Paul.

When I told my mother about Paul and his intention to wife me, she smiled with great effort and sner on her way without making any comment. As the relationship continued, her smile turned to a grimace. She was like Ishi, let him go and look for his mate."

She never outrightly opposed my relationship with Paul but in time I began to find his world so...daunting and adult. While I giggled and jumped over his furniture, he would sit at his desk and look at me like a long suffering uncle.

He would tell me about the Oracle of Delphi and Euripedes, discuss world politics and religion, as well as the trends in international relations, while all the time all I wanted was just to gossip about Professor Ibidapo-Obe's antics.

It got to a point I began to find his maturity repelling. He had such big plans for us and our future, while I on my own part had other plans for my life that did not include marriage. I wanted to enjoy my youth while I still had it, but Paul, he had seen it all and was ready to start life with me. I wanted him to be young with me, not always so thoughtful and slow to react.

Meanwhile my mum was in her corner grimacing and giving me side eyes.

I was scared, and I fled from Paul. Mature, intelligent and oh, so stingy Paul...

Op, it may work for you but I speak from someone who has walked the walk so I can boldy talk the talk. She is too young for you.

QED.

Last I heard of Paul, he ended with a woman three years his Junior and they are living happily ever after.

Asiri tu

But how do you know the term "BBW"?

If I tell you where I for take see that thing eh...

CanadianNaija:
I guess you're looking for someone malleable that you can control, if not why don't you have the confidence to approach people in your age group?



You'll marry her now and stifle her, then when she acts her age as a young woman that should be discovering herself you will now come and write stories that touch.

Na you know.

Always posting nonsense.

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

Have you forgotten Madam Kemi and Pastor Ibiyiome?

That one is small.

Pastor Chris is one of God's greatest apostles in the earth today. A father to several millions around the world and my father too. What do you expect?

And he is a sinner too...

Maestro21:
LOL.

Unsettled soul. Keep posting on Christian threads. You shall find peace. Amen.

Tell yourself that if it helps sleep at nights.

Maestro21:
Thank you for the name-calling.

If you fear God or his word, you will show restraint in spreading a story that is untrue or that you are unsure of. In fact, even if you are sure of it, you will still show restraint. That is what God's word and my reverence for him makes me do.

May God bless you.

I am immune to religious blackmail.

Oyaks cannot be a role model to any decent person...

You are just a scared Zone-B!

donnie:
Okay, Continue... What you refuse to learn by wise counsel, you will learn when someone decides to exercise his rights against malicious publications

You're bold to publish because you know pastor Chris will "leave it for God" ba? One day monkey go go market, e no go return.

For Nigeria?

Hehehee...

What baffles me about you is how a grown man like you will defend an obviously flawed human 24/7?

Pastor Chris na your benefactor?

Maestro21:
I saw the thread from the jump but I told myself not to say anything. [/b]You have to understand that this people do not fear God or his word[/b] It is a personal agenda world out there and we just have to accept that it will never change. I have always questioned the OPs heart but the thread answered my queries. And that thing he is looking for, my prayer is that he gets it.

What has "fearing God or his word" got to do with this thread?
Oyaks na God?

You be Zone-B abeg!!!

seunmsg:
They are trying to deceive the south west. Dogara is recontesting and has all the advantage if PDP wins majority of seats in the house. Only a nitwit from the south west would believe this watery promise.

The same way PDP promised south west speakership before the 2011 election. We voted massively for Jonathan and he looked away cinveniently as Tambuwal emerged speaker after election. Despite cries by Obasanjo and Yoruba PDP leaders, Jonathan did nothing about it.

They also promised to zone the party chairmanship to south west after 2015 general election, on the day of the convention, Wike hijacked the position for Secondus from south south and even insulted the entire Yoruba race as inconsequential on national television. Atiku is playing the same game again, we must not fall for it.

If a person form he southwest occupies any of these positions you are so after how does it help you as a person from the southwest?
