I cannot imagine we lost 113Million because a whole professor could not see the sense. A case of 'academic nonsense'

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

What the f*** is wrong with us kenyans?Cant we get something right even for a second?Cocacola has the same naming rights with stadiums in Tunisia,Ghana,Cameroon and Togo..and the stadiums they took over have been revamped to World class standards..and we give a f*** about a name?God bless kenya....

Its the Economy..Stupid!!!!!

Naming of Stadia with Company names is accepted world over,think Emirates,Reebok,Brittania,etc

Instead of seeing the income generated from the same,the Prof thinks Nyayo is a cute name and must be maintained ati,Coca Cola Nyayo stadium.... And the cash could have been used to bring the stadium to a higher standard. Trust Kenyan politicians to screw up anything.

..wise as a serpent,humble as a dove

The good Prof's pitch was on Nyayo legacy. Maybe she was right because with Nyayo bus,Nyayo Pioneer Car and other many Nyayos long forgotten she felt that the stadium was the only one left and she could let Coca cola go away with this one.

......the truth shall set you free.

Jipinde,

You are spot on!

Yesterday I refered to this govt as a 'concoction of bitter herbs in water/kerosene',non of them can just get anything right howver simple it may look.

The Prof is protecting her past,she came from Nyayo and can't just sit and watch as Mzee's legacy is being torn down.

God help us.




Chief

It was East African SAFARI Rally,then Marlborough SAFARI Rally,then 555 SAFARI Rally,then back to East African SAFARI Rally,then KCB SAFARI Rally. What is the common thread in each of the names? Would it be the same if the common thread were removed?

The prof dint get her cut,that is all!!!!

Have coca cola actually withdrawn or they threatended to withdraw if the name is udultered....I thought it was the former!!!!


The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@ Chaka the thread is as it is..... Coca cola withdrew read above link

We have completely lost it out on this,its funny that even the minister differed openly with Joe Aketch


life is an endless adventure

I am seated here wondering to myself,now that the politician got what s/he wanted,what does the mwananchi on whose behalf they purport to speak receive.....With this kind of visionary leadership,who needs V2030 in fact it is right behind us. God bless(help) Kenya.

Patience Pays in Guaranteed Checks

The decision by the Minister to cancel the deal is the most stupid and illogical decision yet in this government! So will she donate her own money to revamp the stadium? In Melbourne,Australia one of the main stadiums has long been known as Telstra Dome - because of a sponsorship deal with the largest telcom company in the country. Recently the naming rights were bought out by an upcoming airline Middle East airline co - Etihad Airlines. Read the following extract about the millions of dollars that are being paid by these companies to get naming rights - a clever way of ensuring that stadiums are of world-class standards.


Naming rights history
The stadium was constructed by Baulderstone Hornibrook and opened on 9 March 2000,as Colonial Stadium. Colonial State Bank paid $32.5 million for 10 years of naming rights. [2] In 2000,Commonwealth Bank took over Colonial State Bank and sold the naming rights to Telstra for about $50 million. The name was changed to Telstra Dome on 1 October 2002. It was also colloquially referred to as simply 'The Dome',particularly by clubs who are sponsored by rival telecommunications companies. On 1 March 2009 the name was changed to Etihad Stadium,for an expected period of five years,when the naming rights transferred to Etihad Airways.[6]
