Your national league pays N200m in prize money. Was N150m until recently.
Your stadiums sit empty 99% of the time but your president should organise to build 10 more big stadiums because the empty ones you currently have can always be turned into national relics for tourism.
Your biggest football property, the Super Eagles, canβt pull a sold out stadium because most people would rather the gate is thrown open, when the tickets arenβt vastly discounted.
βFootball mad country,β just like βoil rich countryβ but only when you are looking at things without asking questions.
Sometimes, as a person, you exit the hysteria and look at things for what they are. Until then, you canβt change a thing.

Nigeria plans to refinance high-cost debt and raise funds to help plug its budget deficit, Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele tells @jennzabaΒ https://t.co/t4hEiyLoqS
As long as children like this grow up in environments like this and they become ready and useful tools for terrorists and their sponsors, terrorism and banditry will never stop. Until we focus on the cause more than effects, nothing will end terrorism in Nigeria.
Ojude Oba has existed for centuries, long before any protectorate, well before the amalgamation.
It will be here long after its most desperate detractors are gone.
Festivals and big events have happened all across Nigeria this past week. That Ojude Oba alone drew so much venom is what success does: it pulls haters along with it.
The alternative is living with the ignominy of having nothing worth hating.
