Hello Venturer,Before we get into watching our favourite teams this weekend, let's talk football a bit. Who's your favourite player? Wait, I know you just picked between Ronaldo and Messi (give me accolades, please). I'd love to tell you who mine is, but I don't want to get Messi fans worked up.Football is not just the most popular sport - it's inevitable. Whether or not you're a fan, you know something about it. But that's not all there is to it. Football is big business. Some people have to splash a ton of money around for us to watch our beloved game. Now we even have oil magnates picking up football as an investment. With all that money going around, I can say it won't be getting any more tolerable if you hate the sport.I never thought I'd one day see Messi play for another team. Well, I also never thought oil money was going to change the face of my favourite sport. Speaking of oil money, isn't Nigeria also an oil-rich nation? Do you ever wonder if Nigeria's oil money spills into the sport?Oluwatosin OgunjuyigbeStaff Writer, Ventures Africa
