See Why Nigeria Is Broke #Opinion

Ebele Ogbuanu the Hunter goes into the bush, kills a very big Antelope and sells it to Mama Ngozi who sells peppersoup. He sold the game for N1,000. He told mama Ngozi to make sure the peppersoup is well made because he is coming along with his friends in the evening to enjoy themselves. When they got there that evening, they ordered for plates of peppersoup. Ebele bought the head for N500, he bought the four legs for four of his friends at N500 each, another person ate the intestines as assorted, he paid N500 for it, three other people also ate N500 worth of peppersoup each. The hunter ended up spending N4,500 to buy what he sold to Mama Ngozi for N1,000. Mama Ngozi made a cool N3,500 profit just by cooking (processing) the meat and selling it back to where she bought it from. That is 350% profit and yet she still had excess remaining to sell to other customers. So who is wise and who is foolish here?

Let us relate this story to our dear country Nigeria. We sell crude oil to UK at $110 per barrel and we are very happy; so happy that we spend the money lavishly, and then go back immediately to UK to buy the processed crude oil in the form of Kerosene, PMS, AGO, Tar, petroleum jelly, wax, petrochemicals etc. At the end of the day we end up buying these products at 12 times the cost of what we sold them. How is it possible Nigeria is not broke. Nigeria sure has been broke since 53 years ago.

Ten facts about Zidane and the Champions League

Source: http://giphy.com/

1. Zidane won his first five games in the competition without conceding.

2. Zidane's competition debut came against Manchester United on 11 September 1996, a 1-0 victory for Juventus. Sir Alex Ferguson's team were his most common opponent with eight meetings. He recorded four wins and a draw but perhaps one of the defeats is most famous – when Ronaldo scored a hat-trick at Old Trafford to complete an aggregate triumph for Real Madrid in the 2002/03 quarter-finals.


3. Zidane was sent off twice – in each of his last two UEFA Champions League appearances for Juventus. He was booked only five times in 79 outings in the competition proper.

4. Zidane's first UEFA Champions League match as a Madrid player was against the same opposition that he will open his coaching account against: Roma. The Spanish side came from behind to draw the encounter in October 2001.



5. Zidane reached finals against German opponents in his first season at both Juventus and Madrid.


6. Zidane registered 13 goals in 79 games, none more celebrated than his stunning volley in the 2002 final against Bayer Leverkusen. Only once did he score more than one in a match: hitting two in a 3-3 draw at AEK Athens in 2002.



7. As a Juventus player, Zidane lost the 1998 final to Real Madrid and he never got the better of Juve as a Madrid player either. The Bianconeri knocked them out in the 2002/03 semi-finals and the last 16 in 2004/05 despite the Merengues carrying a home win into the second leg each time.

8. Zidane reached at least the semis in five of his nine UEFA Champions League campaigns. He fell at the quarter-final hurdle once, the last 16 twice and on just one occasion did his team fail to advance beyond the group stage: Juventus in 2000/01.


9. Zidane was a substitute only three times in nine seasons of UEFA Champions League football, and just two of his 79 appearances came off the bench.

10. Zidane's final UEFA Champions League game (like the first) came against English opposition, a goalless draw with Arsenal. He ended with a record of 39 wins, 24 draws, 16 losses, 13 goals and one title
