A Nigerian footballer has returned home from Mongolia following an ordeal that saw him scammed by a shady agent who promised a glittering sports career that never materialised. In August, Al Jazeera reported on his plight and that of many other aspiring African footballers who are now stranded in several countries. In Afolabi’s case, a Nigerian man who lived near his home in Osogbo, in the southwestern Nigerian state of Osun, spun him a tale, took his savings and sent him to play for local Mongolian club Western Khovd FC. Christopher Hannah, a Scottish businessman who had lived in Mongolia for six months, read and empathised with Afolabi’s story.
Airbus A380 Custom ($500 million): This is the most expensive private jet in the world, owned by Al-Waleed Bin Talal from Saudi Arabia and a member of the Saudi royal family – House of Saud. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has the eighth-highest amount given to charity ($3.5 billion) among the greatest philanthropists. He’s the 50th richest man in the world. He has almost everything gold plated in the plane and comes with a solid gold throne in the middle. The jet is referred to as Kingdom in the Sky and comes with a Turkish bath, a garage where he can park his Rolls Royce and even a prayer room with electronic mat that automatically rotates to face Mecca.
