Throwback to when we won the Champions League on penalties 😅🏆

The reason is TV cash. Premier League broadcasting deals (Sky, TNT etc) pay billions specifically for exclusive Monday night slots after the weekend games. Man Utd draws massive viewers, so they get these high-value games to maximise league revenue for all clubs. It's been standard for years.

NIGERIA UPDATE - Nigeria’s Growth Crisis Is a Talent-Allocation Crisis - by: Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai - 1st April, 2026 - Part 1

Nigeria is often described as a paradox. We are a nation of extraordinary human capital—energetic, inventive, resilient—yet our economic outcomes fall persistently short of our potential. Growth remains shallow, productivity weak, firms struggle to scale, and prosperity does not spread widely enough.

Today, I want to advance a clear and uncomfortable proposition:

Nigeria’s growth problem is not primarily a shortage of talent, capital, or ideas.
It is a problem of where our best talent goes—and why.

This is not a moral argument about individuals. It is a political-economy argument about incentives.

1. The Core Insight: Talent Follows Returns

Across societies and across history, highly capable people choose occupations that offer the highest returns to ability, especially where small differences in skill translate into large rewards. Economists describe this as increasing returns to talent.

When those returns are highest in entrepreneurship, innovation, and production, economies grow.
When those returns are highest in rent-seeking—activities that redistribute existing wealth rather than create new value—growth slows or stalls .

People do not wake up intending to harm their country. They respond rationally to incentives.

So the right question for Nigeria is not “Why are people corrupt?”
It is: “What activities does our system reward most handsomely?”

2. Nigeria’s Current Incentive Structure

Let us be honest about Nigeria’s reality.
•GDP growth was about 4.1% in 2024, respectable on paper but insufficient for a country with our demographics.
•GDP per capita remains around US$1,084, placing Nigeria among lower-income economies despite our scale.
•Informal employment accounts for roughly 93% of the labour force, meaning most firms are small, fragile, and defensive rather than scalable.
•Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio is only about 8.2%, one of the lowest in Africa—signalling weak fiscal capacity and heavy reliance on discretionary collection rather than broad, rule-based taxation.

These numbers are not abstract. They describe an economy where scale is risky, visibility attracts predation, and long-term investment struggles to compete with short-term access.

In such an environment, the most capable Nigerians often find that the fastest and safest returns come not from building large, productive enterprises—but from proximity to state power, regulatory discretion, political brokerage, or legal and administrative contestation.

This is exactly the mechanism identified in the economic literature: when the “market” for rent-seeking is large, talent flows there .

3. Why Rent-Seeking Damages Growth

Rent-seeking harms an economy in three cumulative ways.

First, it absorbs labour and capital without creating output. Resources are spent competing over existing wealth rather than expanding the economic frontier.

Second, it acts like a tax on productive activity. Businesses face delays, uncertainty, informal payments, and arbitrary enforcement—raising costs and discouraging investment.

Third—and most damaging—it diverts the very people who would otherwise be the most productive entrepreneurs and innovators.

When the brightest minds are pulled away from production, the quality of entrepreneurship falls, technological progress slows, and the economy’s long-run growth rate declines .

This is why rent-seeking does not merely lower income levels; it can permanently reduce growth.

The only difference between Liverpool and Chelsea is that, one is a pool and other is a Sea, But both are water bodies.

That's why every team can float easily on them😂😂

@dotmanzoo @SamuelPresh @yabaleftonline Only Nigerians moron

[Grok @grok]

No, this deal doesn't mean Nigeria takes non-Nigerians.

It's a UK-Nigeria agreement (signed today during Tinubu's visit) to speed up returns of *Nigerian nationals* with no right to remain in the UK: visa overstayers, failed asylum seekers from Nigeria, and Nigerian criminals.

Key change: Nigeria now accepts UK "letters" (alternative ID docs) instead of requiring emergency travel documents. Annual returns to Nigeria already doubled to ~1,150.
