I know a little bit of sports betting and I have written several articles to that effect for some foreign newspapers.

Betting on a football match is not just based on win, lose or draw. You can bet on whether a team will score, how many goals will be scored in a match, or if 5 goals are scored, what will the goal distribution be like (3-2, 4-1, 5-0), etc.

You can also bet if a goal will be scored in the last five minutes of a game. Sports betting is big business, and many syndicates make money off it.

Referees sometimes participate in sports betting, and even though this is frowned on, what stops a referee recruiting a relative to open a betting account on his behalf, for him to start the "wangling" of results on the pitch?

Match fixing is not limited to one team being paid to lose.

Sometimes, a bet can be placed on if a star player will lose a penalty if he takes one in a game or in penalty shootout. If that player is in on the betting fraud, he can decide to play the penalty according to how he bet on it.

Unfortunately, this is the consequence of so much money being splashed around in football. Betting companies have designed so many betting techniques and products that control is now very difficult.

A typical football betting site I know has betting for almost any league in the world, including the Nigerian Premier League! IS THAT NOT INCREDIBLE?

Is anyone in the NFF looking in that direction?

Was Abraham going around healing people?
Wasn't Abraham a businessman?

What happened to modesty and moderation? Aren't they Christian principles?

No one's saying Christians should not be rich.

But when the young ones look at our politicians, drug dealers and clergy competing with each other, how does one explain this to them?

Anyway, please defend Oyedepo the Businessman. Bishop Oyedepo, on the other hand,

Not everyone is called to the healing ministry. Even St. Paul said it. Some are called to be teachers, some preachers, some evangelists.

You just identify what you are and fit in. The most important thing is to live a Christ-like life. Part of it is that Christ said: "judge not that ye be not judged".

I like the post of someone who said that God will judge all things in the last day.

Any Christian can choose to identify with either Abraham, the richest in his time who had an army of 318 servants born in his house (which means their parents were under his employment)

OR

identify with Lazarus who was described as being poor and begged from the rich man's gate continually.

Both went to heaven (as seen from that story Jesus told).

But one had more impact on people's lives. The other constituted a nuisance to himself and his family.

There are too many hypocrites here who believe Christians and men of God should be poor, walking around and begging for offerings. Thank God people like Bishop Oyedepo have radically turned it all around to prove that there is nothing bad in being rich as a Christian. You can touch more lives and help more people.

I have personally paid the house rent of many of my staff repeatedly and many of these ones will kill for me if they had to. Imagine if I had been unable to do so when they approached me for help. Will they love or hate me?

They would hate me and start stealing from my business.

If i had stuck to the "poor as church rat" Christianity of the days of my parents, I wonder how my life would have been today.

I identify with the "riches in Christ" philosophy. Jesus taught it, Paul taught it, many prophets in the bible taught it. I have seen a lot of human suffering and while I identify with Mother Theresa and her great work on planet earth, I see her views on poverty as very extreme. I would have loved to see her donate money to procure HIV drugs to the millions of orphans who needed it, or put money into HIV research and not just visit them in hospital.

Even the bible said it. if your brother has a need and you can fill that need, prayers alone will not cut it. Do something physical to solve that need. Without money, it cannot be done.

Many people here do not know what is done by the many churches today in the area of poverty alleviation and charity work. All they do is criticize.

What a stark !diot! If you open that dirty hole in your ugly face to mention my mother again from that your filthy mouth na sango go impregnate your mamma with triplet of bush babies. stoooopid genetic garbage that should ve been killed at inception with a few  contraceptive pills and flush your carcass droppings down a dirty pit toilet where you belong, you scumbag.
For fck sake use that brain of yours if you ve got one, you sound like a dense air-bag.

I think you want me to release some spiritual stuff on you. Maybe then you will know what stuff I am made of. You don't know me.

uhonmora:
Stagger,

God gave you a brain.

Use it to reason and stop defending mere mortals who falsely use the gospel for material gain.

Let me ask you a question: How many books has Bishop Oyedepo sold since he started ministry 35 years ago?

If you do not have the answer to that question, then you have no right to accuse anyone for using the gospel for anything.

Both of us will be here and the man will buy another private jet. Erastus Akingbola and his fellow bank chiefs that were using depositors money to buy private jet, landed property, etc: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A MAN OF GOD TO STEAL FROM HIS CONGREGATION FOR AS LONG AS 35 YEARS WITHOUT IT COMING INTO THE OPEN THAT THE MAN IS A FRAUD!

Go and do your research into how Bishop Oyedepo makes his money. I say it again: church offering can never pay for even a plane engine. The man has more business acumen than goats like rhymzy. I don't criticize such people. I read their books, study their lives and find out how they made it.

If I see someone riding a private jet, I will sit down and creatively think of how to do it, not criticize blindly! Only people who have poverty of learning criticize what they don't know and what they can't comprehend.

rhymz:
Stagga. . . .okuta isreal ku gbio gi there for quoting me, Anuofia! You no dey fear? I be like your co-re'tards?
Show me one sweet talking pastor that exploits his congregation and I will show a bunch of imbeciles tha constitute the congreagation(stagga and other feeble minded Nigerians)
If you as much as had my reach and my influence as a person, you will see the folly in bragging on the internet over the nonsense you think you have.
Like I have told you before, you are a dumb kid and your pastor is a good mind freak, he has succeeded in messing with your mind like a rastaman's weed that you think and act like a computer virus.
In real life I will intimidate you intellectually and bully you physically, you can rant here and make claims to being an Eistan but no matter how hard you try, your very low I.Q betrays you and make you come across as re'tard making an attempt.
Enjoy the anonymity of the internet, tell us the fictituos story of your life, sprinkle it with some thrilling recitals of how you discovered the moon in your dreams and fed a million indigent people in your delusions, you can even go further to claim you fed the entire lineage of your familt with 1 fish and 3 loafs of bread, we will believe you, fool. This is the realm of the internet, you can be anything and claim anything if it makes you feel better. What a piece of a$s, so full of $hit and delusional stench!

Na you wey stone go smash im head, you bloody retarded piece of cow dung!

Go and work hard and buy your own jet. Bishop Oyedepo started ministry even before your mother dropped you into this world. Don't open your stupid nna meen mouth to abuse people who have worked hard to be where they are, you piece of pigeon droppings!

Whatever you have to offer, I will give it to you. Bumboclaat dog!

rhymz:
lol. . This got me LMAO.
Na wa o. . . .e be like say na only menbers dey buy these books cos they are not even as popular as their sales figure, 7million copies and na very few people don read am. . . .even Achebe's and Wole Soyinka books never get these kind of sales yet they are so popularly aclaimed. Mehn, I don begin reason this my calling o. . . e be lile say i go need go polish my accent, prolly get an american accent, yeah, that $hit is so hip and it sells. Then again I need some of them sweet religious lingos and soundbites, nothing gives placebo effects like those nice-feel-good sound bites from the MOGs, reminds me of James Brown screaming; "wow, I feel good" . . Lol. .crazy robot xtians.

Retarded cretin.

A man writes more than 20 books selling millions of copies worldwide. How many have you written? What product have you brought to the human marketplace?

Retarded cretins like you are incapable of developing any creative product that achieves a wide appeal. That is why you sit down, call people church rats, and yarn rubbish.

Go shove your hate and beef down your poverty-stricken, retarded anus!

justwise:
Wow!! what a colourfull language from Oyedepo follower.

You are an even dumber cretin! Your dumbness knows no bounds.

HOW MUCH OF CHURCH OFFERING CAN BUY FOUR PRIVATE JETS?

CRETIN SQUARED!

rhymz:
I can now see how your MOG has programmed your mind to think like a toad.
Who do you think you are talking to young man, another zombie like yourself?
You want to rant about little achievements in your life to intimidate me or impress me? LoL. . Dude, I am not your usual average, I am well educated and financially very secure, I dont have to reel out my achievments to a Re'tard like you whose capacity to think for himself has been basterdized by celebrity preachers.
You can continue prowling the net and recite thesame mumbo-jumbo to everyone that opposes your MOG's ostentatiuos display of wealth, obviously, he can't help himself, he is got the perfect suckers in you and your ilks.
Let me live you with this quote from a man that was dis-illusioned by today's practice of religion: religion can make people believe en mass what a mad man in his solitude will doubt.

You are a cretin.

Take a bucket, fill it with faeces and shove it all down your throat. Then take your comments, and shove them all up your anus.

Broke dudes like you are the gullible suckers who cannot make anything out of life, therefore they just sit here and type rubbish. Well let me give you a way out. You can jerk off on your comments and take more of them and give yourself an backside-banging.

Certified cretin!

Stagger, I need web design jobs. Old connect me,

I have plenty of web design jobs. Do you have knowledge of php and Java? What I even need now are those who can develop mobile applications. That is where I am branching into right now. You can always hit me up.

Let's talk business of the future and leave these people who can only see offering money as the way out for pastors. They will never talk of the millions of lives being touched in terms of the various missions programs being organized by churches like Winners, Redeemed, Daystar, Dunamis, Salvation Ministries, etc.

maxpro-xl:
how much is N4.2billion. its about $28million. only 28 individuals will "willingly" donate $1million to acquire the jet. THERE ARE TWO THINGS IN LIFE. ITS EITHER YOU'RE PITIED OR YOU'RE ENVIED IN LIFE. MOST OF YOU PITY POOR PASTORS BUT WHY ENVY PASTORS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS & HAVE EMERGED AS A UNIQUE PRODUCT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DONT UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF GIVING. its not compulsory but its the only way to command divine blessings. HOW MANY OF YOU HATERS PAY TITHES NOT TO TALK OF OFFERING. THATS THE REASON WHY YOU WILL NEVER GO BEYOND YOUR SALARY AND CONTINUE GOING AROUND A VISCIOUS CIRCLE OF POVERTY.

THERE ARE FIVE WAYS YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL STATUS THIS YEAR. 1. CREATE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME, 2. ACQUIRE FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE THROUGH TRAINING, 3. CHANGE YOUR POVERTY MIND SET, 4. DEDICATE YOURSELF TO GIVING AND 5. NETWORK WITH THE RICH

ANY PASTOR THAT STEALS CHURCH MONEY WILL DIRECTLY COME UNDER A CURSE. BISHOP OYEDEPO IS ONE OF THE ICONS I HAVE MET WITH VERY STRICT FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE who is dedecated to a specific VISION and DIVINE MANDATE. for your information, more universities will be established after COVENANT & LAND-MARK.

now lets do some maths. A N1000 book x over 7million copies = over N7billion sold worldwide in 2006 alone.
david oyedepo is not the only pastor that publishes books in winners chapel or in NIGERIA but he is one of the best marketers. they use both off-line and on-line(internet) marketing strategies. his books sells on amazon, facebook, yahoo & ebay.

MY PASTOR. SAM ADEYEMI of DAYSTAR BECAME A MILLIONAIRE FROM A SINGLE BOOK called PARABLE OF DOLLARS. now thats doing business with INTEGRITY while promoting PERSONAL TRANFORMATION.

Please tell them.

1 book, sold at N2,000 to 10 million people worldwide. How much is that? N20billion. Enough to purchase a Gulfstream V.

And some ignorant fools here will be talking of church offering.

NO CHURCH OFFERING CAN PAY FOR JET. GIVE BISHOP OYEDEPO KUDOS FOR DEVELOPING SOUND BUSINESS IDEAS THAT HAVE MADE HIM A BILLIONAIRE.

This is a guy who has been in ministry for 30 years plus. 30 years is not 30 days.

rhymz:
sound like another programmed robot that.
What crass nonsense!
What exactly are you trying to argue? That he single-handedly built his University, church auditoriums and other bis interests without any resort to the church coffers?
You sound very dumb and childish, unless the MOG had a fortune 500 job career, all that wealth and glitz are a product of the church-a majority of whom will never use any of them or be beneficiaries to.
I will start taking them serious when they start showing compassion and sensitivity to the plight of others not sweet talk, feel-good soundbites and inducing people to give more money to increase your lagesse and support a lavish life style. Tomorrow na, we go hear another Eddie Long kind of story, that is how they climax their pastoring career with nothiness.

YOU ARE AN IDIOT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

YOU ARE VERY STUPID TO CALL ME DUMB AND CHILDISH.

You can never in your lifetime build the businesses I have built from nothing. It is losers like you who sit down to keep criticizing people up and down.

Whether you like it or not, Bishop Oyedepo has made his money.

You are a donw-low loser who cannot make anything out of life, so you vent your frustration on those who have made it.

Idiot!

musKeeto:
Wonderful. You forgot to include the monopoly he runs in canaanland. The water, food and other resources church members pay for while there. For example, in CU, students have to pay for goods and services from businesses which are indirectly under him. When students are not allowed phones, they pAy to make phone calls at different call centers within the school. Since one has no choice, you have to pay whatever price has been set. I remember that CU is a place where 200 naira would get you medium sized spoons of rice, one egg, tiny beef and two pure water.
Is Oyedepo a successful businessman? Judging his recent aacquisitions, yes He is
Is he a successful clergyman? Judging by those whom have been linked to his ministry (Jimoh Ibrahim, Ibru) that's for the wise to discern.

I am happy you mentioned this. Covenant University is a business concern. That university pays the highest salaries for any university in Nigeria.

If you tell me students have to pay for calls, etc, then that would explain ONE SOURCE of income for the bishop. If you tell me about the sales figures for his numerous books which are read widely in the Christian world, then that would explain ANOTHER SOURCE of income.

If you tell me about the fees paid by students in Covenant University, that would be ANOTHER SOURCE OF INCOME.

Whether we like it or not, the Bishop has great business sense. He writes books and sells them, and has various business ventures that pay for all the glitteratti you see. Maybe people do not know it, but Presidents give him gifts.

A president of a country will not give a N500,000 gift. That is chicken change. If a president gives you a gift, you should know how much that is.

What I will not subscribe to is people saying that OFFERINGS are what paid for the planes, because we all know that is a load of crap. Offerings cannot pay for even an engine of a jet.

justwise:
If its not church money can u tell me how he made the to buy 4 planes?

Why don't you tell us where you think the money was made, then I will tell you where the money was made.
You take the population of Winners members, multiply by what you think the average offering is.

Then deduct the money that is used to pay school fees of thousands of indigent children. Also subtract the millions that is given to indigent ministries for ministry work. Also subtract what is given to orphans and widows monthly by the ministry. Then also deduct all that is given by Winners to various charity causes, the free feeding programmes, etc.

THEN YOU WORK OUT THE MATHS HERE FOR US ALL TO SEE, HOW MUCH OFFERING MONEY CAN BUY A JET.

FOOL!

Years back when the man was trekking, going to the mountain to pray and birthing the ministry more than 30 years ago, no one was talking. Now people are making noise because Winners Chapel (not even the man) has 4 planes.

The likes of Bankole are busy buying houses for their girlfriends in Maitama; no one dey make noise.

But when Bishop buys a plane, it must be offering from church. How much church offering can buy a jet?

Please, STOP ALL THE DISSING. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BUY A JET SHOULD GO AND WORK OUT BUSINESS HE CAN DO TO GET ONE. PERIOD!

The ladies in the house have suddenly gone silent.

There are always two sides to a coin. No justification for violence in any marriage from any side.

Somebody on radio summarized it very well: THEY LOVE AFRICAN DCK! Its performance is second to none and it comes with a money back guarantee. 

You have just got a foretaste of what is to come. Some of us in the institution called marriage have seen some things but we thank God.

It is better you saw this now when you can run. Not when it is too late.

RUN FOR YOUR DEAR LIFE!

Seanpoe:
@deli.cious
Are u seriously justifying her taxing me based on where i spent the night?
On top say na company pay for the hotel ooooo.

It is good you mentioned that you were staying at Sheraton, because it enabled the real motive for her wanting to follow you to come out into the open, just the way typical Abuja girls are.

Greedy and money-conscious! And to think we have some girls here who were justifying such behaviour.

Chelsea is too proud to study Man Utd's example.

It took Sir Alex 6 years of buying, selling, buying, selling to get the right mix of players to deliver the first trophy of his coaching career there in 1992, with a 2-1 win over, yes, Barcelona in the European Cup Winners Cup final.

You don't buy a coach and expect him to work miracles in 2 years on a team that has many players above 32 years (a team in transition).

This is what happens when people with some money but who do not know anything about the game think they can win everything by throwing money at it.

My frank answer: YOU WOULD BE A FOOL TO LEAVE YOUR WIFE AND KIDS.

If anything happens, your wife will ensure that nothing happens to your kids. They are hers as well. People do not usually realize the essence of having a wife of your youth into old age. It is when you are 80 years, vulnerable and entering your second childhood that you will know why you should not ever dream of leaving your wife.

Cherechy:
@apache whatever your name is.
I'm not hungry nor do i in anyway engage in abuja aristo. If u read thru my post very well u'd find out what i was doing with the girl in question.
You sound very agitated like i was refering to u directly. Or do u belong to the class of guys dt live off thier rich friends in abj and go about pretending? Lol
in my post i neva in any way implied that those living in these surburbs are in anyway low or anything. U dnt knw where i stay, so quit casting aspersions on my person or where i stay. Because i damn well know u cannot afford it. If u dnt like my post, u can disagree with me, without insulting me.
You know all the hot clubs in abuja and how much drinks cost there, you go there to have a good time and meet chics yet u turn around and insult these same girls. Whatever.
Like u said, i'm gonna live in abuja and enjoy my 'law work'. Legal practice has never been so good. I dnt need to know what goes on in your clubs or wherever. I dont need your money or whatever u have to offer. You and the other silly 'abuja guys' can go to hell for all i care.
This will be my last reply to u or anybody else on this thread. I dnt hv time for this your nairaland banter.
And finally, yes i collected the 20k we were given for lunch. Kill me. Hear u, i should have taken #500 and returned the rest. Yeah right! Like u would do the same.
In your subsequent posts use 'some abuja girls'. U hear me?

What girl. not into corporate runs will go around accepting gifts from men the way your friend does? YOU EVEN HAD THE TEMERITY TO CALL THE LAWYER WHO GAVE HER A BB A 'MUGU", putting a stamp of approval on your friend's action.

We don't care what you read in the university or what you are doing for money in Abj. We also certainly don't give two damns about where you stay. YOU ARE NOT PAYING ANYONE'S HOUSE RENT HERE, SO YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE THE STATEMENT YOU MADE ABOUT WHETHER APACHE CAN OR CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE RENT IN THE PLACE YOU ARE STAYING.

If you live in Maitama and you are paying rent, are you better than anyone who has his own house in any of the suburbs?

We are all graduates here. Some of us are well traveled and when we come here to talk about behavioural patterns of ladies here, you should not just don't come here to talk things you do not know and talking as if all of us are illiterates.

apache77:
Look, this girl who said you followed your friend to INEC office, I dont think you know anything about Abuja though you have stayed here for donkey years.First, your secretary friend herself is just a high clas hooker masquerading as a corporate worker- perhaps she's a sex worker? There are basically two types of girls in Abuja- the good girls and the whores. The good girls are so few, they are hardly even seen. They mostly stay indors or at their desks in their offices. They hardly hang out at night and only attend private soirees or house parties. They constitute only about 20% of the Abuja population of girls. The second type of girls in Abuja are the LovePeddler, who constitute 80% of the total Abuja girl population. Now  there are two categories of whores in Abuja- the roadside whores(who you find in clubs such as Kyrstal, Xtacy, Aqua, Ibiza, terminal 5, Soho, Bassment etc) and the home office whores(which your friend belongs to).

The road side whores tell you straight up their money is 30k, or 40 or 60K depending on her belief in her charms and where she is strutting her trade. They are the same ones you now find in clubs (since Bala Mohammed clamped down on there). They ask you to buy you drinks for them, and they are ready to follow you home for your agreed fee. Your friend who is a home-office LovePeddler operates differently, albeit with the same intent. She cons the men via seduction to buy her cars, blackberries and pay her rent. Basically, she is a kept woman who engages in runs. Back in the day, we used to call such girls aristos in school.

The road side LovePeddler demands 50k, which she uses to buy blackberry. Your friend will basically be kept by a man, so as long as hse wants a blackbeery, she gets it, she wants a car, she gets it so long as the man can afford. She is still into prostitution but hers is not common knowledge like the street LovePeddler. She solicits in private using the cover of her job. Better watch it, you say u r the bookish type, so what are you doing with such a loose canoon. And you came here to preach, admitting that you coledted 20k for cab. IS cab in Abuja 20K? If you were so different and really needed cab money, why didn’t you collect N500 and return the rest? I feel you also have LovePeddler tendencies, forget this façade you have come to put up here.


You say you have been in Abuja since godot, but it seems you don’t know nothing about the social lifestyle. Well, you said you are the bookish type, so you can be forgiven. Do you go out at night at all?? You think buying Cristal for N150k at Aqua is beans? Or Ace of Spades for N120k at Cubana is for poor guys?  You say rich guys don’t spend on champagne?? You must be a real housegirl to say that. You think a guy passing off can afford dat?
You said ‘the real abj guys with money dnt even have time for wat d poster here is narrating. And even if they do, they almost always have a steady girlfriend they cater for. ’ So who does not have a steady girlfriend? Yousaid those that go to the club to spend money n pick girls in abuja are d ones just managing.  Somebody who is managing can go to the club, pay to go in, buy canned drinks for N500, red wine for N3k, Red label for N8k, Jack Daniels for N10k, Hennesey for 15k, Moet for N22k, then take a girl home and give her 50K, and you say he is just managing? Which part of the world are you. Go to America an d ask them how much they buy those drinks. Nigerians have drunk so much Hennessesy that the company decided to make a special bottle for Nigeria’s 50th anniversary. You think it is people who are just managing that caused that? Go and sleep.

You also said those girls come from nyanya, mararaba, kubwa, deidei for maitama and asokoro weekends to seek men jst like d poster.  If  I may ask where are you from? Those girls stay right in town- Wuse2, Zone 1, Zone 4 different palces in town. Yes, the odd ones do come from those places, but majority stay within, except you are a lowlifer the girls at the places come from out of the way places. And anyway, what makes you think coming from Maraba, Kubwa or Karu, makes them inferior than if they were in town. You don’t know that many neigbourhoods in Maraba of Kubwa are probably better than where you live?

My dear, talk about what you know and pay more attention to your law work and your bookish friends. Don’t come and start talking about a lifestyle you know nothing about because you have never been  a part of parcel of it. The poster was spot on about most of his observations about Abuja.

You have just fired a missile from the Apache helicopter.

Don't mind these Americana girls that come out here to talk what they don't know. I deliberately refused to reply to it because I would have used very harsh words.

WHO WILL OPEN HER MOUTH TO SAY THAT GUYS WHO SPEND THE EQUIVALENT OF A BANKER'S ENTRY LEVEL SALARY IN TWO DAYS OF CLUBBING IS "MANAGING'?

I am going to respond to some of the things that have been said.

It is a well known fact, that in Abuja, the girls are the ones who keep running after the guys. Take a trip to the National Assembly or go to some other well known spots. Even in the so-called decent places.

I have once been slipped a note by my gateman from a girl who lives in a compound next door. Content: she has been watching me for a while and she likes me, and wonders if we can hook up. See me see wahala o. Girl wey I no even know, don dey watch me for a while.

Another one slipped me a note somewhere through a bartender. She came there with her boyfriend o, yet was slipping me notes. One gave me her number in a party, saying that I should not let her boyfriend know. The boyfriend is a friend of mine.

I am not saying there are exceptions. I have met good ones who are not into those runs. But the fact remains that the percentage of money-conscious babes in Abj is like 90%. Even the ones who are looking for marriage, indirectly use the things they see in Abj to set unnecessary high standards for their fiances. Why?

REALITY101:
Hmm but seriously them Abuja girls aren't bad looking @ all. @Krystal Lounge they call em point and kill, damn cool b11tches even @ Transcorp Hilton them bartenders have the hottest b1tches photo to xample incaz you need an escort. I traveled with couple of friends, and I'm glad they had enough punnani . .

At least we have some honest people here. Not these self-righteous guys who come pontificating for us here as if they have never succumbed to the temptation of women.

sayso:
All this to show us you are not responsible,moving around the world fuk babes.AIDS is real my guy.

See pot wey dey call charcoal black. You be honest. How many girls have you laid in the last one year? have you been faithful?

If you have, you would have no business reading the ROMANCE section.

I can see the moderator has pegged this on the home page, but with an incorrect link. Please correct.

Messi is nowhere near Maradona, talkless of Pele or Zidane.

I was privileged to watch the 1986 World Cup where Maradona shone like a star, and followed his career throughout. The guy was too much.

Pele is in another class. No one comes close.

Zidane? A father! What he used to do from when I first saw him as a substitute in a World Cup Qualifier in 1992 till he retired was just too much.

Messi dey try, but he is nowhere near these greats.

But you see, I still ask my question.

Why should a girl walk in and ask you to buy her Moet for N20,000? It's like this.

Once I was in Kryxtal with a friend of mine. Then a girl with whom he had a one night stand about three years back, walked up to him.

It was like: " hey long time. How you dey?" And all that kind of stuff.

Next question by the girl. "Please buy me a bottle of Moet". (I won't tell you if he did or not. He may be reading this).

One week later, same girl walks up to him in the same place. This time, we were leaving the club. Now she came to ask for money. This time, my guy was peeved and flatly refused. Now she doesn't talk to him again.

My question is: why should it all be about money?

Can't two grown-ups just meet and have fun for the fun of it? It doesn't even have to end up in bleeping for the night.

I tell you, in Naija we have got this all wrong. This is the point of my discussion.

Which is why I took string exception to someone saying "Abuja girls are too hot and expensive for you".

Why the hell should girls in a place be classified as too hot and expensive, when I can just go across to some of our African neighbours and have the same experience, sans d'argent?
