Late Amaka Igwe’s daughter, Ruby
Igwe has openly taken to her
Facebook page where he told
Nigerian richest man, and ofcourse
African richest to please invest in
Nigerian football instead of buying
Arsenal. Below is what Ruby wrote on
her Facebook page…. Do read;
Dear Mr. Dangote. Of course you
should buy the Gunners. It’s a sound
investment to invest in football, I
think financially. And of course in
terms of reputation, having a stake in
a club is epic. And of course you have
the cash. That’s indisputable.
However, I have two propositions for
you. Please buy Manchester United
instead. Just because. If you don’t
want to, that’s fine. But if you have
change, after the Gunners, invest in
the football in Nigeria. I can assure
you that it’s not only in the UEFA
Champions League, or the English
Premier League, or La Liga, or
Bundesliga, that you will find good
soccer. What these leagues have in
common is solid financial backing,
and solid infrastructure.
They have created an internationally
celebrated, culturally appreciated,
economically viable system. As such,
I find solace in my red Man Utd shirt.
I watch David de Gea‘s saves in awe,
and I want very much to go to Old
Trafford. I feast on the history and the
statistics that I find about George
Best and Alex Ferguson and David
Beckham, and I can’t count how
many times Manchester United has
broken my heart. I digress. If you
invest in the football in Nigeria,
maybe people will feel the way they
feel about Chelsea, Arsenal,
Manchester City and Manchester
United; about Enyimba. Maybe my
mates will make good money playing
for Nigeria’s local and national
teams. Maybe watching football and
sports live in Lagos and Lafia will
become a favourite past time.
Maybe we will know more Nigerian players by name
and not because of what non-national club they
play for. Maybe there won’t be that much traffic
every time in Lagos because the stadiums will be
packed full. Maybe the clothing and manufacturing
industries will be revived by making jerseys and
other memorabilia. Maybe students can find modes
of expression and survival in sports in general,
instead of trying to conform to what they are not. So
Sir. Please do Nigeria a favour and invest in the
infrastructure of our football. Invest in change. Don’t
just donate, in case it becomes pocket-oriented.
Don’t make a local investment. Go hard. Go
national. Consult people, including football fanatics,
and layout a battle plan. Invest in our football and
follow your investment until you see the sizeable
returns that can and will actualize. Invest in
generations to come. Nigeria will thank you.

I support.. I look forward to d day I will be able to watch Nigerian clubs passionately like I watch foreign clubs.. I remain loyal to CHELSEA until our leagues gets better.

Ruby ur far, can u imagine say me go watch nasawara utd vs abia warriors 4 lafia city stadium.gate fee na 200 bt some will cum and show unidentified ID card and will enta straight...with 100 dem no gree maje i enta, till wen dem don play like 15mins na im de allowed me...hmmm

naija sports be like......

she's kinda rit you know

Facts,but dangote love fast returns, naija football will take years to yield

Story. Abeg make i hear word. How many people dey watch Naija league.

Who be this??, She's totally WRONG, by first suggesting that Dangote should buy Man U (another foreign club just like Arsenal) her planned objective to sound patriotic has been defeated; so her subsequent yada yada about the need to invest in Nigerian club sides is medicine after death
