The funny thing is Niger is 1.4% bigger than Nigeria in land mass according to Google. If we have been battling insecurity issues in just Northern Nigeria for over 15 years with little results to show for it, How do we want to police a bigger Niger backed by Putin's wagner group?

Niger is definitely bigger than Nigeria. And that whole coup thing has sailed. There is a full coup belt in Western Africa so what is the entire fuss about Niger?

Nigeria share over a 1000km land border with this Niger country that's already porous.

Anything dialogue can't fix let them leave them to their devices abeg. Or they send their son Buhari to talk with them. Do they know how many Nigeriens dey Nigeria I'm sure even for our army Niger people go dey. These guys should not turn the region to proxy war theater of America and Russia

izzou:
[color=royalblue]We are not invading it as Nigeria. We are invading it as ECOWAS

The last time i checked, Niger Republic was part of ECOWAS, and one of the commitments of the Community to its member countries is to uphold their constitutional laws and promote and instill peace

If we stop Mr Coupist from pulling this stunt, we would guide them into their next election in 2025, and then Mr Coupist can contest and win easily (shebi his people love him well well? )

But if this guy gets his wish, be ready for another coup before 2024 ends

And oh, they can kiss electing their leaders and democracies goodbye[/color]

Most of them are ECOWAS states. Who do you think will bring the majority of resources?

You think Niger sef no get their backers? Our Army does not have the logistics and resources to waste on these people abeg. When Putin sends Wagner to come and play you people will know that to start chaos is easy stopping it is the problem

As far as we know Nigeriens are happy with the guys on ground. Let them release the deposed guy and everyone go their jolly way. Invading a sovereign country has consequences that frankly I'm not sure Nigeria is ready for

I am in sifia pains.

I didn't expect Bud's jab to have Spence flying like that tbh. I know his last 11 now 12 fights have been finished but I'm telling you the way that thing was popping.

Now I want to see if that power can translate to another weight class. I'm hearing Spence talk about rematch but I guess post fight concussion still dey worry am. Make e pity him wife and kids abeg. That was not a close fight at all

afrodoc2:
Crawford beating up Spence like he stole his phone.

I told you man. Bud is a technician.

PtolemySoter:
Styles make fights and the fighters they have both faced all faced Crawford AFTER they had faced Spence. That has to be considered as well.

I understand why Crawford would be the favourite though as he has the more flashy skill and has single knockout power but I am a ride or die Spence fan so I am praying for Man Down season.

My concerns are 1) Spence’s long lay off 2) His car crash 3) My fear that he is having to increasingly drain himself to make weight. I don’t think he can make 147 much longer.

By the way have you seen the video of his car accident?

Yeah I did see it. Did you catch the beatdown Crawford put on Spence? I had Crawford winning but I didn't expect complete annihilation

Max just won the Sprint race. Surprisingly Piastri and Gasly of all people are second and third

afrodoc2:
Spence wasn't knocked out down o. Ugas punched him flush on the chin and still couldn't knock him down. What happened was that for the fight he had temporary dental implants (because of his accident), so when his mouthpiece fell out he thought it was his implant and panicked in the moment. The fact that Ugas hit him flush while he wasn't looking and still couldn't get him down is even further certification of his chin in my book. Luckily he has permanent implants now.

If Spence is able to stay in the fight he won't go chasing a KO cos it is not his style. Most of his knockouts are due to accumulated damage. The only reason he will go chasing a knockout is if he is being completely outclassed by Crawford. I am really worried about Crawford's counterpunching ability though. I understand why the bookies have Crawford as the favourite but if Gamboa could make Crawford do the stanky leg so can Spence.

I missed this. This is really such a tough fight to call. But if we are using Boxing math I look at their high quality common opponent. Shawn Porter. Crawford dispatched him much easier while Spence got a SD. Might not matter but just saying

WhoDeyHause:
Well luckily for him he wasn't in a position where he had to sort anybody. I think the last NBA African big name to emigrate through the studying process was embiid. Things were also a little manageable in Hakeem's days compared to the last 3 decades.

There's more Nigerians making it to the league now or via the Euroleague route. There was one Benue boy that was picked by the Pistons.

Your best bet though is still to have parents that had enough foresight and resources to japa and birth you there so your odds are better

WhoDeyHause:
Was he discovered in Nigeria or after moving to the university of Houston?

He was discovered in Nigeria and then they offered him a scholarship to Houston

afrodoc2:
Hahaha na so the thing dey go, although Hakeem also made it from Lagos and back when it was even more difficult to make it.

First African to make the NBA. He was extremely fortunate to have been discovered at an age where he could still go on to be one of the GOATs at his position. Especially without Social media

So Adetokunbo has finally come home. I wonder what'll have been today if his parents didn't take the painstakingly decision of migrating to Greece from this dead country.

BlueRayDick:
This is disgraceful honestly . So Tinubu spent 2 months consulting only to nominate for minister a person who has been barred by the Supreme Court from holding a political office for 10 years ? A certificate forger at that ?

So what’s the whole talk about DSS clearance when they discuss ministerial screening ?

Lol. I've said my piece. Anyone that sees that list and still believes this Tinubu has anything to offer is just deceiving themselves.

If someone has told you who they are and you say you will not believe them. Is that not peak fooling?

It's better to just say your party, tribe or religion man is there and leave it at that than gaslight people that the man actually plans to do anything

Nah. Everybody knows Mao's economic policies were thrash. He and his gang of 4 nearly destroyed China. Well nearly everybody knows.

In terms of human suffering there were too many evil men in the 20th century. If you count Hitler and his guys and Stalin and his guys alone they are enough to cause 2 centuries of suffering.

Meanwhile this Falcons RB has some interesting qualities.

People like to romanticize strong men that's what I've discovered. Guys like Stalin, They 'affectionately' call him Chairman Mao but he was quite the despot. Read him up. Don't even get me started on Imperial Japan

Every corner of the globe seemed to have had one tyrant or the other. I'm surprised we're yet to have one extinction level event yet and it's not for a lack of trying

After seeing this list if you still believe that man has anything to offer then I don't know what to tell you ohh.

Me I won't be partaking for that kin delusion sha.

Shaytun:
But it laid the foundation of the China you are seeing today.

There is no excuse to be this uninformed. The Great Leap Forward is one of the biggest calamities to ever happen to China. That policy led to more deaths than the Japanese invasion and Sino-Japanese wars combined

afrodoc2:
It did not. The great leap forward was a quantum leap backwards in real life. An unqualified disaster. It was Deng Xiaoping's reforms which laid the foundation for modern China, and he had to force out and silence Mao's successors to carry the reforms out.

Funny coincidence I was reading about Mao yesterday. The great leap forward was one of the biggest calamities to befall China. It led to the Great Famine which tens of millions of people lost their lives.

Looking back and as crazy as the world is today, things have been much much worse.

Mao was really the guy that takes credit for the hardwork of others

That Osimehn wey dey waka all over Lagos, cant he identify as something and just join the team

Na real first world problems. You wey never chop go confuse whether you be man or woman

But if you check am na men wey transition to women dey get benefit, Is there really any benefit for a woman who changes to a man?

Man life na suffer already. No one wants to be us

Osimhen don blow already nau. Na all those egbon adugbo wey dey go for U-17 trial at 29 na him need that kin advice. Just identify as LGBTQ wey dey try break stigma apply for asylum for US Embassy

I dey always tell those delulu feminists. Them go see 20% of men dey enjoy ignore the other 80% wey dey suffer. If e sure for them make them convert to man come see as the thing go. There was a woman wey try disguise as man Nora Vincent. Inside 18 months she committed suicide. Another one dey cry on Tiktok. Them no know say penis no get use and no amount of propaganda can prepare you for the suffer that is a man's life

What do we make of this

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66299441

This is a first world problem laslas. Na who don chop belleful go get time to dey confuse about their gender. Aje pako no get that kin luxury

You no see how China banned all their propaganda. Ordinarily I would be against it, let's say 20 years ago but now it's abundantly clear there's a deliberate push to make people confused about something as basic and fundamental as your gender and complicate the simplest of things

raumdeuter:
I remember when we first started nursery school, Most of us spoke Yoruba first and in Yoruba it doesnt differentiate gender but age

So many of us found it hard to address out 60yr old headmistress with the same SHE pronoun you address your younger sister.

So you will hear "THEY(headmistress) are calling you oh" (Won pe e). The teachers laughed flogged and corrected us

Not knowing that several years later we were right all along

Yoruba language was ahead of the curve

It is a tough one. Even boxing experts are all over the place on this one and some of them have flip flopped. I am a Spence guy from Day 1 so i am probably the wrong person to ask. He is the bigger and stronger fighter and has a high pressure/high work rate style that many struggle to deal with while Bud is the skilled, faster fighter with knockout power from both orthodox and southpaw stances.

Bud actually has a greater knockout potential in a vacuum cos he has the faster, snappier punches (those ones you don't see) unlike Spence whose punches are the slower, heavier ones (which is why he is a body snatcher). What Spence does is to inflict cumulative punishment on the body and then pummel the face. Can Spence adjust to a fighter that switches from orthodox to southpaw mid-sequence and can Crawford adjust to a stronger, busier fighter with a verified chin?

The decider really will be about what will be the first to fold, Spence's chin or Bud's body. Neither of them has ever faced a fighter of the calibre of the other fighter. Other things to consider are how have inactivity and the car accident depreciated Spence's skills. The reason i think points favours Spence is because he is a far busier fighter than Crawford who might find himself behind on points very quickly in the bout and therefore need a knockout. Where you might be right though, is that Crawford's chin is not verified unlike Spence's.

I will give slight edge to Crawford in terms of strength of opponents. Though you're right neither has faced the same caliber of fighter.

They have also been through lengthy layoffs so ring rust will be a factor. Spence looks as good as you can look coming off a car accident that serious

Bud for me is far more technical than Spence and makes fewer mistakes. Unless Spence plans to swarm him all night long but having seen the two I consider Bud a lot harder to hit

Look at the Ugas fight, Ugas is really good but I don't think Bud will have had as hard a time as Spence did remember Spence was knocked down or maybe looking for his mouthpiece depending on who you believe , I know I'm not trying to use boxing math but I honestly think Spence will do more of the knockout chasing than Crawford.

It's impossible to call sha. Bettors have Crawford as the slight favorite and just going off their styles and body of work thus far I can see why

afrodoc2:
Guy don't miss out on this weekend o. Errol Spence vs Bud Crawford. Wahala ma sele o!

Who you got? I believe Spence's only path to victory is a knockout

SMH, how? No be everything be Lamba. Chief If not for anonymity sake I for post details and receipt of the coy that provide this service for me. There are a few coys doing this and people who need there services will pay...

Call this company ask them how much they will charge you to provide executive assistant/carer per month for your 85yrs parent; this is not the one I am using, and I will delete their details after few minutes to protect their business since its seems we are okk that the richest of us brag about paying 60k to their domestic staff as wages.


We need to demand better, I remember ages ago when Bob Diamond was at Barclays and they had to increase wages for cleaners as the papers where ridiculing his pay packets in comparison to the cleaners, there is something called libing wages bro... and that 30k minimum wage is a joke..

Abi you think Oga Dayo/Ibime or Nihilist will come out and brag if they have domestic staff in Nigeria that they are being paid N60k?

Let those working for average Joe's collect average wages, whilst our big men pay premium.

You would be shocked that company you're paying to is paying the cleaners exactly that 60k if not less sef.

I agree it's not what Oshiomhole should brag about but at the end of the day na him dey pay am no be me.

It's always easier to critique when you have no skin on the game

Lol. E tun ti bere pelu iro. Team that didn't have a single Allstar player besides Joker. Una say na stacked team Alawada

They were so stacked they were given the 9th best odds entering the season.

Why not take your losses like a good sport instead of endless excuses and salaye. The likes of Jokic don't cry and beg for respect or spotlight. We know the people who want attention win, lose or draw

birdman:
As much as I like JB, this is overpayment. He is not worth that contract IMO. He is not a cornerstone franchise player, we have had enough years to observe his growth and trajectory. Im glad Rockets didnt try to enter this matter.

And to be blunt, even Tatum is on the clock. I feel like he has peaked, and some of today's rookies and sophomores will eclipse him this coming season.

Is Jayson Tatum not 25 abi e dey use football age? Anyway I blame them too for raising the bar that high. Rookies and sophomores will eclipse him? Na wa oh

Nobody is worth $300m to bounce a ball but guess what that's the market and the going rate.

Roland17:
I don't understand why ESPN required Shaka and the team to wear suits under this impossible summer heat where some cities are averaging triple digits. Shaka looked like he suffered heat exhaustion but I am glad he is ok. They should wear business casual/ relaxed clothing during summer, especially when they are outdoors.

I still play pick up hoops and football, the latter more frequently over the weekend and it is not easy, especially under this heat.

ESPN their wahala too much. Never understood the need to wear suits at sporting events unless you're like executive management  That will be like a Doctor wearing suits to the theater. It makes absolutely no sense

Person gats to always listen to your body the older you get cos it whispers before it yells

Golf na the only thing I dey play these days. I no fit shout. One of my paddy tore an ACL on the court sometime ago. Do you know how ridiculous it is to tear an ACL as a 9-5er. 😂😂

benji93:
How about you stop posting about your guy here? Una no get whatsapp group? As long as you dump it here it's everyone's concern. The important question to ask you is, who hasn't swept Lebron? . He got swept by Curry and company, you complain, then he got swept Jokic and company. If your guy no dey careful, he go take him last lap gather sweeps.

Lol. Naah I don't subscribe to censoring anybody. My own is don't post and then cry that people are responding.

There's neutrals that come to this page and other pages like these to seek knowledge. Don't drop misinformation and be surprised people are pushing back

Them go carry phone call attention come wan hang up. No be craze be that
