Writer's Notes: Sorry for the wait - my life is a bit of a shambles right now!

Lagsunrise.jpg

Lagos

Henry Adeyemi: Good evening and welcome to Lagos! The Afrovision Managerial Contest Final kicks off in an hour’s time, but in the meantime, we will be visiting the tournament’s host city, Lagos, to gain an insight into what goes on in Africa’s fastest-growing city.

lagos.jpg

Henry Adeyemi: The city, which boasts over eight million citizens, is the economic and financial capital of Nigeria. It traces its history back to a mainly tribal settlement, until its invasion by the Benin Empire in around the 16th century. The Beninese used Lagos as a war camp, until its annexation by the British in 1861, before their seizure of the rest of Nigeria 25 years later. It was a hundred years later that Nigeria gained independence from Britian, during which time, the city boomed in the period before the Nigerian Civil War. In 1991, the city lost its status at the capital of Nigeria, which was given to the planned city of Abuja, which was constructed for that purpose.

Henry Adeyemi: Lagos is a hub of cultural activity, and is regarded as the hometown of many styles of music, including Nigerian hip hop. A bustling city, the metropolis seems to exhale music and culture, and grass roots cultural movements are almost on tap. Naturally, the city is the capital of the Nigerian movie industry, which is called ‘Nollywood’. Films in Yoruba and in Indian are most popular in cinemas, with Hollywood blockbusters going straight to the market.

4544599119_8808a15d51_z.jpg

Henry Adeyemi: Lagos has, in recent years, become more and more popular with tourists. As well as beaches and golf courses, which aren’t the first things that come to mind when one thinks of Lagos, the city boasts more and more luxurious hotels, vibrant marketplaces, and busy plazas.

managua-football-22.jpg

Henry Adeyemi: Of course, the reason we’re here is football. Until recently, the Nigeria national football team played the majority of their matches in the city. They have since relocated to Abuja, but the metropolis continues to play host to Bridge Boys F.C., and First Bank F.C., who both play in the country’s National League, the second tier of Nigerian football. The city has a further two clubs in this league. The biggest stadium used to be the National Stadium, which held 55,000 people, but this was closed in 2004.

Henry Adeyemi: Without further ado, let’s get onto the third Afrovision Managerial Contest Final!

I said there would be no further ado, but I still have ado, so I am sorry about that!

Welcome to Lagos…

Henry Adeyemi: Good evening everyone, those in the arena in Lagos tonight, those in Africa, and those others watching via BATRACER, including our viewers in China and Brazil, among others! Tonight you will witness the Final of the third annual Afrovision Managerial Contest, and only one of the sixteen nations here tonight can walk away as champions. First, however, let’s see how they got to where they are now. The host nation Nigeria qualified automatically for the Final, but all the other teams had to qualify through a Semi-Final, where they were pitted against thirteen other nations each.

Henry Adeyemi: Algeria took the early lead in Semi-Final 1, but as they dropped away, Mali became the first nation to qualify. Algeria did get through in the end, however, in fifth place, and those two were joined in the Final by Gambia, Egypt and Angola.

Henry Adeyemi: Senegal and the Republic of the Congo were the early leaders in Semi-Final 2, but it was actually Rwanda who booked their place in the Final first, and they did so while 14th-placed Somalia were still in negative points. Congo did finish second in the end, with Senegal also going through in third place. Those three were joined by DR Congo and Cameroon in the Final.

Henry Adeyemi: Finally, Semi-Final 3 saw Côte d’Ivoire picking up points early on. Morocco and Mozambique soon overtook them, however, and Mauritius also performed well. In the end, Morocco won the Semi-Final, qualifying with a vote to go just like Mozambique. Morocco’s own votes came last and settled things, with Côte d’Ivoire qualifying, naturally, but with South Africa and Guinea finishing ahead of Mauritius, who actually came seventh behind Niger.

Henry Adeyemi: The sixteen nations here tonight have all been judged on the performances of their national football teams over the past twelve months. Votes have then been sent by themselves and by the nations who did not qualify for this stage. For instance, one nation, let’s say Togo, would give 12 points to the nation they thought did best over the past twelve months. They would then give ten points to their second preference, eight points to their third preference, and then seven through one points to the other nations. The team that accumulates the most points by the end of the Final is crowned the third Afrovision Managerial Contest winner.

Henry Adeyemi: Unfortunately, there is a bit of a shortfall in votes. Those nations who didn’t submit votes have been docked twelve points each, so that means that Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Gambia, Guinea and South Africa start this Final at a disadvantage. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the opening table.

F-0-3.png?t=1301419699

Henry Adeyemi: Okay, then, let’s get started. Togo and Uganda kick us off.

100px-Flag_of_Togo.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Lagos calling Lomé!

Moustapha Salifou: Good evening Henry!

Henry Adeyemi: Ah, Aston Villa midfielder Moustapha Salifou!

Moustapha Salifou: Hello everyone. Best of luck with the show tonight.

Henry Adeyemi: Thank you. Would you like to share Togo’s votes?

Moustapha Salifou: With pleasure;

7: Egypt

6: Mozambique

5: Morocco

4: Nigeria

3: Rwanda

2: South Africa

1: DR Congo

Moustapha Salifou: The three biggest votes from Togo:

8 points go to…Guinea!

10 points go to……Congo!

12 points go to…

…Senegal!

Moustapha Salifou: Thank you Henry, thank you Nigeria!

Henry Adeyemi: Good evening Moustapha Salifou, and Togo. Ricky Nakano’s Senegal take the early lead, while David Dodgson’s Congo go most of the way to clearing their twelve-point debt.

100px-Flag_of_Uganda.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Nigeria calling Uganda!

Jose Rodriguez: Hello Nigeria!

Henry Adeyemi: Er, hello! Are you still giving the votes for Uganda?

Jose Rodriguez: Of course! I won’t let the man get me down!

Henry Adeyemi: Right, well in that case, we’re ready for you.

Jose Rodriguez: Uganda’s votes:

7: Congo

6: Cameroon

5: Angola

4: Egypt

3: Guinea

2: Morocco

1: Mozambique

Jose Rodriguez: And here are Uganda’s three biggest votes;

8 points go to…Senegal!

10 points go to……DR Congo!

12 points go to…

…Rwanda!

Jose Rodriguez: Thank you very much!

Henry Adeyemi: Thank you Uganda. Ricky Nakano’s Senegal therefore accumulate twenty points from those two sets of votes, but it is Jack Browne’s Rwanda who take the twelve from their neighbours Uganda. Dider Dardon’s Morocco, who had the highest Semi-Final score, would have hoped for a better start, having taken just seven points so far. But four nations, including Mali and Côte d’Ivoire, have yet to pick up any points. Let’s look at the tables.

F-2.png?t=1301419699

Henry Adeyemi: So Senegal and Rwanda lead the way, with Craig Hopper’s DR Congo and Tyler Burrows’s Egypt following. Kleen Shavern’s Gambia sit sixteenth. Liberia vote next, followed by Eritea.

Henry Adeyemi: Lagos calling Liberia!

George Weah: Good evening Henry, good evening Nigeria!

Henry Adeyemi: It’s footballing legend George Weah!

George Weah: I’m honoured to be giving Liberia’s votes once more.

Henry Adeyemi: I’m honoured to be taking them.

George Weah: The votes from Liberia:

7: Rwanda

6: DR Congo

5: Egypt

4: Gambia

3: Guinea

2: Côte d’Ivoire

1: Mali

George Weah:

8 points go to…Cameroon!

10 points go to……Algeria!

12 points go to…

…Nigeria!

George Weah: Thank you very much Nigeria!

Henry Adeyemi: Thank you Mr Weah. Des Tiny’s Nigeria take the twelve points from Liberia, while Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Gambia get their campaigns going.

100px-Flag_of_Eritrea.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Can you hear us in Eritrea?

Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. Baracus: Sir, yes, sir!

Henry Adeyemi: Oh, great. This guy again.

Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. Baracus: I pity the fool who doesn’t let Eritrea qualify for the Final!

Henry Adeyemi: Can we have your votes please?

Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. Baracus: Sir, yes, sir;

7: Mali

6: Senegal

5: Côte d’Ivoire

4: Rwanda

3: Cameroon

2: Egypt

1: DR Congo

Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. Baracus:

8 points go to…Gambia!

10 points go to……Mozambique!

12 points go to…

…Morocco!

Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. Baracus: I pity the fo-

Henry Adeyemi: Okay, thank you Eritrea. Kleen Shavern’s Gambia will be thankful for the eight points which clear their debt, and in fact it looks like a moderator bloc vote, with dafuge’s Mozambique taking ten and Didier Dardon’s Morocco collecting the full twelve points. Let’s see how that puts the tables.

F-4.png?t=1301992381

Henry Adeyemi: At the top, Jack Browne’s Rwanda have caught up with Senegal, while at the bottom, just Juan King’s Angola and Matt Lepino’s South Africa remain in the red. Comoros vote next, and following them will be the first of our Finalists, Mali.

100px-Flag_of_the_Comoros.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Can you hear us in Comoros?

Michael Venter: It’s a serene night here in Moroni, and we can hear you loud and clear.

Henry Adeyemi: Very good. Comoros missed out in their Semi-Final, finishing seven points adrift of qualification.

Michael Venter: Yes, but we’ll surely qualify some time in the next three years.

Henry Adeyemi: Let’s hope so. Okay, then, Michael, we’re ready for your votes now.

Michael Venter: The votes from the Union of the Comoros:

7: Congo

6: Guinea

5: Nigeria

4: Rwanda

3: Senegal

2: Egypt

1: Cameroon

Michael Venter: And here are our three biggest votes:

8 points go to…Morocco!

10 points go to……Mali!

12 points go to…

…Mozambique!

Michael Venter: Thank you very much Henry. It’s going to be a wonderful show!

Henry Adeyemi: Thanks Michael, good night. The resurgence of dafuge’s Mozambique and of Didier Dardon’s Morocco continues, as they pick up twelve and eight points respectively. Mali’s campaign gathers pace as they collect ten points, and we’ll head over to them now.

100px-Flag_of_Mali.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Good evening Malians.

Jean Tigana: Good evening Henry.

Henry Adeyemi: Mali aren’t where you want them to be right now, but they’re making progress.

Jean Tigana: Yes, of course. I just hope that we can avoid finishing second for the third year in a row, and finally win the title.

Henry Adeyemi: Yes, of course. By the way, I didn’t get a chance to ask you in the Semi-Final. What do you think of the Michael Jackson statue unveiled at Craven Cottage earlier this year?

Jean Tigana: I don’t really see how it’s relevant to the club itself, but it doesn’t bother me, and if Mohamed wants to honour his friend, that’s fine by me.

Henry Adeyemi: Okay. Well then, Jean, we’re ready for your votes.

Jean Tigana: The votes from Mali:

7: Cameroon

6: Egypt

5: Senegal

4: Congo

3: South Africa

2: Angola

1: Algeria

Jean Tigana:

8 points go to…Morocco!

10 points go to……DR Congo!

12 points go to…

…Côte d’Ivoire.

Jean Tigana: Thank you very much Henry.

Henry Adeyemi: Thanks, Jean, and thanks Mali. A deserved 12 points for Albert Holstein’s Côte d’Ivoire, with ten going to Craig Hopper’s DR Congo. Things should be tight at the top now, let’s take a look.

F-6.png?t=1302088752

Henry Adeyemi: Dider Dardon’s Morocco take the lead, but it is indeed very close, with less than ten points separating the leading six teams, and with a few pretenders just behind, ready to capitalise on any slip-ups. We’ll continue with votes from some micronations, as we head to Burundi then Djibouti.

100px-Flag_of_Burundi.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Can you hear us in Burundi?

Adel Amrouche: Hello Henry!

Henry Adeyemi: Good evening Mr Amrouche. What did you think of Burundi’s Semi-Final performance?

Adel Amrouche: Well, coming second from last wasn’t a highlight, but there are some very good nations out there that we’ve got to respect.

Henry Adeyemi: Of course, of course. Maybe next year, eh?

Adel Amrouche: There’s no maybe about it.

Henry Adeyemi: I like it. Okay then, we’re ready for Burundi’s votes.

Adel Amrouche:

7: DR Congo

6: Egypt

5: Guinea

4: Mozambique

3: Morocco

2: Algeria

1: Cameroon

Adel Amrouche: Burundi’s three biggest votes:

8 points go to…Rwanda!

10 points go to……Côte d’Ivoire!

12 points go to…

…Nigeria!

Adel Amrouche: Thanks Nigeria!

Henry Adeyemi: No, thank you! Des Tiny’s Nigeria will be over the moon with twelve points, while Albert Holstein’s Côte d’Ivoire have certainly put their shaky start behind them, picking up ten points. Jack Browne’s Rwanda take eight, which puts them as joint leaders again.

100px-Flag_of_Djibouti.svg.png

Henry Adeyemi: Nigeria calling Djibouti!

Djibouti: Good evening Nigeria.

Henry Adeyemi: How are things in Djibouti?

Djibouti: Not bad.

Henry Adeyemi: Who do you think will win?

Djibouti: There are a lot of strong nations fighting for the advantage, but I think Rwanda will sneak it.

Henry Adeyemi: A wise choice, but it’s far from predictable at the moment. Okay then, we’d like Djibouti’s votes.

Djibouti: Of course;

7: Mozambique

6: Mali

5: Morocco

4: Egypt

3: Côte d’Ivoire

2: Guinea

1: Rwanda

Djibouti:

8 points go to…Nigeria!

10 points go to……Senegal!

12 points go to…

…Congo!

Djibouti: Thank you Nigeria.

Henry Adeyemi: Thanks Djibouti. Des Tiny’s Nigeria make it twenty points from a possible twenty-four, while David Dodgson’s Congo take twelve from Djibouti. Interestingly, Djibouti’s tip for the title, Rwanda, get just one point from them. Let’s see how that leaves things.

F-8.png?t=1302254065

Henry Adeyemi: Rwanda slump to fifth place as Ricky Nakano’s Senegal take the lead. Des Tiny’s Nigeria find themselves up in the top three after a very good pair of votes. Down at the bottom, there is no change, and the trailing three look to be falling adrift very quickly. Côte d’Ivoire vote next, followed by Swaziland.
