TheImp: He should buy a Nigerian team and sponsor it... That will trigger his fellow millionaires to do the same, since copy-catism is the order of the day in Nigeria... This will revolutionize the Nigerian Football League... Oga Dangote, charity begins at home... Show them how successfully you can run a team in Nigeria, and use that to sell your qualification for a piece of the action, like Dandy Dandy of Mr. B and friends... |

ApexTitan:At no point did I say the fan base in the north will increase even though thats the truth. And you saying the fan base in a particular area won't affect the wealth of the club is a big lie. The foreigners who own Arsenal certainly did not buy it to increase their native country fanbase - their target was the global community where the money really lies. Do you think that Arsenal has a considerable fanbase in the US because the owner of the majority stake at the club is American?Why do you think Kroenke has insisted on Arsenal going to America when it is a common knowledge that the market in America has been made saturated by Real Madrid, Barca and Manchester United who have been going there year in year out for the last 20 years? Why was Usmanov trying to get Arsenal to Russia? And when you say they want global penetration, is Africa/Nigeria not part of the globe? You honestly think there is no reason why Manchester United has been going about establishing academies in Africa? A Craze Arsenal has now joined. Africa, Asia and Europe are very lucrative markets for English clubs on the macro level. That's why clubs will continue to work these markets. However Northern Nigeria as a demographic will add little or no gains to the coffers of any club simply because as a whole it is not as financially well off as other demographics in this country. The fact that they have the wealthiest people in their group does not mean that wealth is evenly distributed there. It can even be argued that poverty is even worse up North than in other places in this country.To this I agree but never forget the fact that it is a game of number. The north has massive numbers and it adds up in revenue in the end. Plus I did not talked about the north here. Not at any stage. 1 Like |

Fellonigerians:Listen, Business knows no sentiments. You want him to buy and sponsor a Nigeria team, what will that add to his coffer? Is there any Nigeria team worth more than 500 million naira? No one investor who is in the caliber of Dangote will invest in the Nigeria league until the NFF and the LMC gets serious with improving the fortunes of the league. Supposing he buys Enyimba, brings in big name players, how will he recoup his investment? Which big player will want to play in a league with so poor stadias? With almost no TV appearance? Let me ask you, if he buys Enyimba which to me is the biggest club in Nigeria ( forget the heroics of Kano Pillars last few years ), what profit will he be making from them? In what league will they compete? How much prize money will they be fighting for? How does it add to his prestige as a billionaire in dollar? Until the league body gets serious nothing will be achieved. We have more quality players than SA but they get more money than us. It was easy for Ajax to invest in Ajax Cape Town for this sole reason. MARKETING. Take a look at the nike sponsorship deal. Nigeria gets less than $6 million per year, lowly Chile gets $30m per year. Forget Chile's recent boom in world football, they are lowly compared to Nigeria in every aspect, we are merely a sleeping giant. Think about it deeply. Chelsea were rubbish when Abramovich came in and they do not even have a stadium of their own but they had a brandable product. It was easy for Abramovich to pay crazy money to acquire players because he knows once Chelsea start competing regular in the champions league, he will make his money back. And just take a look at his investment pattern with Chelsea, is he still signing players for crazy amount? Chelsea even declared a profit of 7m pounds or there about last year I think. Can he do that in the Nigerian league? Why do you think MTN did not bother with Glo or you think they cannot beat Glo to the sponsorship right if they so want? If you want him to dash money to the league, I can understand that. How much is prize money for CAF champions league winner? $1 million. Entrance into UEFA champions league fetches you close to $12 million, winning it from next season will fetch you close to $100 million with the new BT sport deal. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Dangote Considering Buying Arsenal Fc-bloomberg by since1914(m): 11:15am On May 05, 2015 |
mrmetoo1: If Roman Abramovic can own a club in England, then Dangote too can own one as well, because Dangote has a far neater image than Roman Abramovic, who built his entire empire on the back of sweet heart deals because of his closeness to Boris Yeltsin's family. All at the expense of the Russian people. Have you forgotten how the English public were treated to a legal debacle in the English courts and the accompanying media brouhaha over Sibneft shares between he and his erstwhile partner, Boris Berezhovsky who also accused Abramovic of intimidation and links to the Russian mob? Besides Dangote's businesses today transcends Nigerian borders, hence they are very visible and verifiable, hence I see very little that the English press will use against him. As regards the issue of cement prices, we must note that Dangote is not the only cement manufacturer in the country therefore, if the others significantly lower their prices, Nigerians will choose them over Dangote any day. My suspicion is that all the cement manufacturers in the country (Dangote inclusive) are colluding to fix cement prices. If this is the case, then we should rather blame our regulators for creating the avenues for them to get away with it rather than hold Dangote solely responsible. Businessmen around the world always seek loopholes to exploit to maximise profits, and it is the role of government to protect its people from bearing the brunt of their actions. Lastly, I once heard a rumour several years ago (I don't know if it is true) that Dangote was on the verge of running for NFF (then NFA) presidency but was advised by his friends that as a business man with assets all over the country, that it was possible that fanatical football fans could destroy and vandalise his properties whenever the Super Eagles lose a match. Having observed the pattern of things in this country for some time now, I think that scenario is a very plausible one, hence I wouldn't advice him to risk it. Until the NFL puts it's house in order, no serious business man will put his money in the league. They need to come down hard on match fixing and other vices tainting the Image of the Nigerian league. 1 Like |

arsetalks: Again my point really came down to racism!! I can see a lot of Brits kicking against a black African owning the club not saying it's impossible. Now they can't come out openly and say "we don't want him because he's black" what they'll do is "let's take a closer look at him". My point wasn't against Dangote. What I was trying to express was me being skeptical about the Brits acceptance of a black African owning such a historic club. Black players still suffer racism not to talk of a whole cub like arsenal now being in a hands of an African. |
Re: Dangote Considering Buying Arsenal Fc-bloomberg by mrmetoo1: 11:26am On May 05, 2015 |
since1914: You remember Roman's acquisition didn't happen without all that brouhaha, all I'm saying is expect far worse when Dangote attempts to buy it especially because he's a black African. Racism still exists and it's very real. This might be me just being negative, maybe the world is a better place now and everyone moved on from racism |
Re: Dangote Considering Buying Arsenal Fc-bloomberg by ApexTitan(m): 11:26am On May 05, 2015 |
arsetalks: My mistake I was replying to this nerodenero:thinking it was you. I was saying that if Dangote did buy Arsenal that the increased fanbase in northern Nigeria would be of little financial consequence to the club (see my reasons in previous posts) My focus was on that subset of the country not all of Nigeria. |
Re: Dangote Considering Buying Arsenal Fc-bloomberg by arsetalks(m): 11:26am On May 05, 2015 |
mrmetoo1:This assertion can only be valid when the fans still own the club. Even the Arsenal support Trust fund headed by Tim Payton and co does not have up to 3% of the club. Didn't the fans kick against Abramovich? Where they able to stop Ken Bates from selling to him? Yes, they protested against him by ensuring they do not sell Stamford Bridge to him till date but that's the case with Arsenal as the club owns the stadium outright. Yes, they may say he did not get his money clean but what court indicted him? Was Abramovich not indicted by a court and still very likely to serve a jail term? Was Usmanov also not indicted? I strongly think racism or not, if Dangote wants to buy the club, he will buy it and they can do nothing about it. 1 Like |
Re: Dangote Considering Buying Arsenal Fc-bloomberg by mrmetoo1: 11:35am On May 05, 2015 |
arsetalks: Let's get this right Abramovich at the end of the day is a white Russian, Dangote is a black African. Ticket buyers are a major part of the success of an establishment like arsenal. The racism I'm talking about is not that open racism, it's racist that are openly racist only at their dinner tables. For those, you'll be surprised the numbers are far higher than you can imagine. Those will not come out and say "we won't buy tickets he's black" even though those will exist. These will come out and look for other reasons to boycott the club. Again this is my personal opinion, I could be very wrong. My view of the world might be warped. |
