I don't know who else noticed it, but I think the 2018 World Cup in Russia, shows how much the West are biased against African teams. It is as though everyone wants African teams in the world cup to be eliminated at the group stage.
Aside from poor officiating, we also have media bias against African teams.

In an article, published on Glitz Plus Ent website, I pointed out the obvious.

Recently, I published an article and research work written by my mentor, Dr Uchenna Uzo, I trust if we all read it, we will see how much money that is been made from street selling. It will also be an eye-opener for some of us interested in making real money quick. Find the article below;

Street selling, otherwise known as hawking, in Nigeria and Africa at large, is a unique phenomenon that arose out of the need to solve societal problems such as unemployment, poverty and consumer goods accessibility. It is a booming informal sector that has proved resilient despite various governmental efforts aimed at eradicating it.

Government at all levels have policies and prohibitions in place to ban hawking because they are seen as illegal, valueless and problematic—hence, a need to eradicate it from the society even though there is yet to be a better alternative. The various “street selling not allowed” “ hawking not allowed” signage that adorn our public places, the unending fining and arrest of street sellers, and the construction of shopping malls and ultra-modern markets across cities have had little or no effect on reducing street selling in Nigeria.

However, over the years, street selling has become very popular and highly sought after across all social statuses especially in urban areas. It is a common scene nowadays to see middle and upper-class consumers purchase assorted goods in traffic jams and by roadsides on their way to or from work and other commutes. Hawkers have devised a number of ways to convey their goods aside from the traditional head porterage to include wheelbarrows, table-tops and mobile kiosks among others. This reality is also dawning on both large and small businesses that unorthodox methods of selling such as hawking is a viable means of marketing and selling to more consumers. In the city of Lagos alone, it is estimated that about one billion Naira exchanges hands in hawking per month.
