Welcome, Ahmad. Glad to have you around. Your arrival is like fresh air in a muggy room.
We are angry that African footballers must migrate to and play in European club leagues before they are qualified to be called professionals. We feel hopeless and sad that our stadia are empty when African clubs are playing. We are unhappy that in Africa many clubs are yet to build, own and manage their own stadiums, and that African governments still control football administration. It is the main reason why the game is riddled with corruption and ineptitude.
Something drastic has to be done to discourage those TV networks in Africa who pay lip service to African football development; who commit as much as 85% of funds in promoting the football leagues of Europe to the detriment of African football leagues. African football is dying, Ahmad. Please do something urgent. Football should be managed by people who understand football. Every department of the game should be professionalised and constantly supervised. Welcome.
