"Europeans have killed more people than natural disasters."
"South Africa is still in the dark with the never-seen constitution that favors the same people who colonized us natives for 500 years."
Mario Balotelli: “I challenge all African football players to raise money with me to leave Europe and build stadiums in Africa and develop our youth.
We have money and we can build at least 5 international stadiums in each country and sign an agreement stipulating that no player will be exported to Africa. Europe again. Here in Africa, they will play under the love of their sisters and brothers, with no one shouting insulting phrases against them in the stands.
We are more talented and we can raise the quality of our Champions League and the level of the leagues. We have great talents, but they are not appreciated abroad."
