Capo di tutti capi
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

We don't need more Osimhen's, we are decently covered in that department for a few more years. We need more Mikel Obi's and Sunday Oliseh's

A country should always have more footballers in a position than it needs. But we definitely need to be more balanced.

A decent football nation should have at least one player that is extremely good, on the bench/reserves (for every single position). Which means we should have at least two Mikels, at least two Enyeamas etc.
