NAPOLI: Iconic Representation of Victor Oshimhen by GOAL and Its Digital Workers

0

More than 96 years ago, Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli, commonly referred to as Napoli, was established. Out of these years, according to existing information, the club was unable to hold the Italian Serie A cup for 33 years. However, the match that reintegrated the club into the ‘committee of winners’ of the Italian League’s most prestigious title was played some days ago, in which Victor Oshimhen, one of Nigeria’s players, played a key role.

Apart from doing what is expected of him as a player during the game, performing individual tasks, and assisting others, Oshimhen’s goal was pivotal to ending the club’s more than three-decades-long Serie A title drought. From the club management to the local and global fans, the win was one of the greatest achievements of the club after the late Argentine legend, Diego Maradona, played key roles in the internationalisation of the club.

For sports-focused mainstream and new media organisations across the world, the win provides an opportunity to historicise the club more and place it in the minds of people using different frames and agendas. According to our analyst, the representation of the match and the roles of each player has been premised on the club’s strong commitment to winning the title since the beginning of the league. To advance this position, our analyst further carried out an iconographic analysis of one of GOAL’s posts on Facebook about the celebration of the title.

The post reads:  Napoli’s Serie A title celebrations are what football dreams are made of ? [with a love symbol]. This post was monitored for 24 hours with the intention of revealing how digital workers reacted to it. In this regard, digital workers are the followers of the medium who used their data and intellectual resources to engage with the post. Within hours, the post attracted 542 comments and 825 shares. Comment-to-share analysis reveals that the possibility of sharing the post was 65.69%, suggesting that the four dominant pictures [see below] used by the medium really attracted the digital workers.

Picture 1

The post specifically pinpoints the place of hope in football and how the owners and players are not the only dreamers when it comes to winning titles. This is basically represented in the first picture, where Oshimhen was in the midst of fans and strategically guided by a security officer. The second picture shows how football serves as a unifier when a club wins an elusive title. It depicts a situation where men and women fans of the club celebrated together. The third picture, which has a fan closer to the potential viewers and another fan at the back, represents how crying of joy could occur after winning the most anticipated title of the football season. The fourth picture rekindles the spirit of Maradona by showing a fan who wears his iconic number 10 jersey.

Picture 2

From the emerging insights, our analyst notes that GOAL strategically represents winning by moving from the celebration without significant tears of joy to celebrating with significant tears of joy and capping it with an iconic remembrance of the club’s legend, Diego Maradona. Some of the comments also point towards these established insights. They are reproduced below.

  • Big Congratulations to Napoli and our very own goals’ King Oshimhen. You guys have made my season ?
  • It was indeed a spicy and memorable season for Victor Oshimhen and his Napoli side. Making such history is not just an easy feat. I pray he remains injury free, maintains a good attitude towards his job and also maintains consistency. He should also avoid getting into controversial events as we have seen great footballers lose the grip of their careers due to some events that they got themselves involved in.
  • I have never seen such passion in other European leagues. It is really something and it’s a contagious emotion. I am happy for them.
  • Oh Lord, I know you have done a lot for us as a country, one last time Baba please protect our HITMAN Victor Oshimhen from anything CHELSEA ?
  • I am not a fan of Napoli but I am very happy for this man.
  • I am really proud of being a Nigerian ??????
  • If humans could love one another the way we love their sports teams, this world would be a better place.
  • Football is a sport, not a passion, a culture, a way of life, bringing people and cultures together, congrats Napoli.

Saheed Aderinto: Cash Remittance Shouldn’t Be Ranked Higher Than Intellectual to Africa

0
Professor Saheed Aderinto

For the last three decades, Africans have been driven out of the continent for lack of opportunities and a dwindling educational system. Both are highly orchestrated by the poor political leadership and internal economic saboteurs. Media, one of the critical components of the continent when it comes to pushing its image, is not helpful in taming the migration tide because of the constant reportage of positive happenings in developed countries and negative incidents on the continent.

Nevertheless, according to many business-oriented, regional, and global reports, the movement has delivered huge benefits to the continent during these decades when one looks at the growth of cash remittances to the different sub-regions of the continent. The statistics are really staggering; however, they point to the fact that Africans at home are getting financial support from their sisters, daughters, mothers, and fathers in the diaspora. In its latest report, the World Bank notes that Sub-Saharan Africa received an estimated US$49 billion in remittances in 2021.

The African Digital Remittances segment is expected to grow by 9.15% (2023-2027), resulting in a market volume of US$2.22 billion in 2027. The importance of remittances from abroad for African economies is well known. A total of $95.6 billion is estimated to flow into the continent each year. Also, remittances to LMICs are expected to total $5.4 trillion by 2030. The majority of these resources will be used by remittance-receiving families to achieve their own personal goals, such as increasing income, accessing better health and nutrition, having educational opportunities, improving housing and sanitation, entrepreneurship, and lifting them out of poverty.

The examination of the senders of these remittances by our analysts from different sources indicates that African students in various universities are not left out of contributing to the growth. A number of the students work and study at the same time. It is surprising that African students constitute a relatively large percentage of foreign students in most developed countries. Our check reveals that the general trend of the student’s mobility from the continent aligns with her colonial masters’ path. For instance, most British colonised countries prefer the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries in the global north, while students from Cameroon, Benin Republic, and other French colonised nations go to France and other French or Portuguese-speaking countries in the same region (global north).

As the developed world attracts African students, it also does not relent in having African academics, both those who schooled on the continent and those who became academics after their studies. In all these areas, Africa is sitting on cash and intellectual capital, with little exploration of the latter to really spur the growth and development of the continent. Whether we call it an intellectual asset or capital, Africa can benefit from intellectual remittance in the form of human capital, relationship capital, and structural capital. It is when political and business leaders really tap into these that Africa can be what it is supposed to be, based on abundant natural and human resources. This has been the position of our analyst over the years, which has recently been reemphasized through the intellectual prism of Professor Saheed Aderinto, a Nigerian-American Professor of History and African and African Diaspora Studies at Florida International University. The professor’s view is reproduced below.

My lecture focused on Intellectual Remittance—the undervalued, underreported, and underappreciated transfer of knowledge and collaboration between Nigerian scholars at home and their diaspora counterparts. I emphasized that the overwhelming concentration on cash remittance has blurred our focus on the unquantifiable wealth in the invisible labour of scholars—Blacks, Whites, among many diverse racial backgrounds and identities—working selflessly behind the scenes with Nigeria-based scholars to build interpersonal relationships that break retrogressive bureaucracy and leverage on technology to provide supplemental, yet valuable, support for research and training in Nigerian higher institutions.

The difficult part of the lecture is not explaining the meaning of intellectual remittance to a highly educated audience—it’s connecting global intellectual collaboration, especially in the humanities and social sciences, to real cash remittance that policymakers understand as the drivers of development on the African continent. It’s improper and impossible to put a monetary value on intellectual wealth; yet, explaining the cumulative and reverberatory implications of intellectual remittance over decades and generations establish my position that cash remittance shouldn’t be ranked higher than intellectual, simply because we can’t valuate, feel, or see it. Indeed, in numerous cases, intellectual remittance is the foundation on which cash remittance is built. Without it, the millions of cash remittance that attracts public attention and formed the basis of development discourses wouldn’t exist in the first place.

Yachtify (YCHT) to Give Lido Dao (LIDO) and Solana (SOL) A Run for Their Money

0

The investment scene in the cryptocurrency industry is constantly changing, with new projects being launched every other day. Solana (SOL) and Lido Dao (DAO) were once top of the pecking order, but have been losing their edge recently.

As Solana (SOL) and Lido Dao (LDO) struggle, investors have gone on the quest to find other alternatives. Many of them have found Yachtify to be a great investment option because it solves a lingering problem, opening a great opportunity for investment.

>>>> BUY YACHTIFY TOKENS <<<

Yachtify

Yachtify will be a first-of-its-kind marketplace where users can buy, sell, rent, or own fractional timeshares in a wide range of watercraft, from Sunseeker to Jetskis Yachts. Each investment results in the creation of an NFT, which can be purchased and used to claim ownership of the real-world asset.

In addition, Yachtify will also provide and lease yachts to maritime schools worldwide. This will ensure that steady income keeps coming. Those who buy the $YCHT token will enjoy VIP benefits and also gain access to the ecosystem’s NFT marketplace and lending platform.

Additionally, there is a 30% bonus available for those who invest during the presale. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity. The presale is currently ongoing and you can buy a token for $0.1 per $YCTH.

Lido Dao (LDO) Continues to Struggle

Lido Dao (LDO) is a liquidity-staking solution that became very popular because it allowed investors to stake any amount of Ethereum (ETH). This helped Lido Dao (LDO) to become of of the most interesting cryptos before the Ethereum upgrade.

However, since the Shapella upgrade, Lido Dao (LDO) has struggled. Over the last week, the price of Lido Dao (LDO) has tumbled by more than 10% as regulators, especially the SEC, continue to target staking firms.

Lido Dao (LDO) currently trades at $1.93, far off from its $3.2 high this year, and the $6 per token analyst predicted it would trade at. Lido DAO (LDO) now needs a major momentum swing to return to the bullish side of the market.

Centralization of Solana (SOL) Solves Nothing

When Solana (SOL) launched, many investors hailed it as a potential Ethereum Killer. However, Solana (SOL) has faced one challenge after another and failed to live up to the expectations of investors.

From network outages to links with FTX, Solana (SOL) has had little chance to recover over the last year. However, 2023 came with a respite, with Solana (SOL) being one of the top-performing cryptos.

In a recent debate, Dogecoin (DOGE) founder Billy Markus called out the Solana (SOL) network once again for its supposed centralized infrastructure. According to Markus, Solana (SOL) doesn’t solve anything, alluding to its centralized database. With investors looking away from Solana (SOL), Yactify has turned out to be the perfect alternative.

Casper Network (CSPR): The Future-Proof Digital Currency Making Waves in the Blockchain Space

Casper Network (CSPR) is a cryptocurrency launched in March 2021. Recently, it gained 18.2%, causing all Casper Network (CSPR) to become more hopeful. Although it used to be worth more, it has increased by over 115% this year.

Casper Network (CSPR) is a blockchain-based technology and a digital currency. With this technology, it is possible to prevent fraud when utilizing digital currency. Highway Protocol is a unique form of blockchain technology Casper Network (CSPR) uses. However, compared to other forms of digital money, this makes it quicker and more effective.

The Casper Network (CSPR) is used to finance blockchain transactions. Additionally, it rewards those who make the Casper Network (CSPR) run smoothly.

Toncoin (TON): Is it Still a Smart Investment?

Telegram, a corporation, is the firm that invented Toncoin (TON). Users of Toncoin (TON) may take advantage of various advantages, including quick and economic transactions, user-friendly applications, and the capacity to manage several users simultaneously. However, this makes Toncoin (TON) suitable for video games and social media. Since it consumes less energy than other platforms, Toncoin (TON) is also good for the environment.

However, a problem arose for Toncoin (TON) in 2020 when Telegram stopped supporting it. They and the government disagreed on a few rules, which is why this happened. This worried some people whether Toncoin (TON) would be a good investment.
