JayFredo: Russia isn’t the one forcing gay right on other sovereign country, Russia didn’t invade Iran, Libya, Syria, Iraq, afghan, and more. US is the biggest bully in this world, we thank God for Russia and china, if us doesn’t want to sell you weapon, Russia is there, if us doesn’t want to give you loan, china is there, if not for this 2 US would have ruled this world with terror
I had a similar experience some time early this year, strolled with a friend to a wake keep ceremony of his friend. On getting there, met a group of haggard and suspicious looking boys who were sipping their alcohol.
I thought all was well, I gave them a normal handshake but they were all staring at me as though I fell from the sky. It was when one of them say "E be like say na this guy go beat drum for us this night," I knew what was going on... Beat drum? What? I told him I can't beat drums, he said I must beat drums, there's no going back in this.
I thought I had gotten myself into trouble and the next thing on my mind was how to leave that place. One of them smashed a bottle on a pillar of a house and gave the capon the jagged edge. Truth is I was scared at this point...
Long story short, my saving grace was few minutes later, while the capon was making some sort of incantations into his jagged bottle, his phone rang, he got up to take his call then I stood up, with one mind naim I take waka, they were calling me to come back, including the guy I followed to the place. I kept on going, I was expecting a chase or a bullet from the back, but nothing, I left... I guess what saved me was the capon was on a call
This is what South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa expects from his seven-day West Africa tour, beginning in Nigeria on Tuesday.
The president landed in Abuja on Tuesday evening to a warm reception.
Accompanied by various ministers, Ramaphosa said he wanted to see the opening up of trade and investment on the continent.
We want those countries investing in South Africa so it is not a one-way process where South African companies invest in their countries," the president added as he departed Johannesburg.
On this trip, he will visit Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal.
"It is a mixed journey; political, diplomatic, economic, trade and this is going to be beneficial to our country all around," Ramaphosa said.
At the same time, his ministers are expected to conclude five new agreements and memoranda of understanding with the Nigerian government.
"We want to increase confidence in our own companies operating in those countries. We have a number of companies operating in Nigeria and Ghana and we want to see more and more of that happening in Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire," Ramaphosa said.

In Cote d'Ívoire, he will be hosted by President Alassane Dramane Ouattara for a state visit and will further address the Africa Investment Forum.
Ramaphosa added he wanted to breed life into the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement that allows for free flow of goods and services across the continent.
He added travel too could be eased on the continent
Ramaphosa will then travel to Accra, Ghana, where he will meet President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and participate in a number of high-level talks.
The trip will be concluded in Dakar, Senegal, where he will take part in the Dakar Peace and Security Forum and other high-level meetings. "We are going on this epic journey to the heart of the continent."
FarahAideed: He is very right !!!! The Kainji Air Weapon school is easily within the reach of Bandits and they can overun that base if they want to and there won't be enough time to get those aircraft airborne before they are completely destroyed....I wonder what informed parking them at such a vulnerable location .. Maiduguri airport is even more secure
They know why they parked them there. When they are destroyed, they apply to buy new ones or repair them. That means more money in the pockets of the ogas at the top
In the early hours of Friday, 26th November, 2021, Te'egbe community in Miango District, Bassa Local Goverment Area came under attack by Fulani herdsmen.
According to information available to trezzyhelm, the attack which lasted 2 hours, claimed 10 lives, left several others injured and caused the displacement of about 690 people.
114 households were affected in the attack, with 278 houses razed, including 57 food barns.
The names of the deceased are given as:
1. Gara Ku 80yrs 2. Wiye Gara 67yrs 3. Tala Gara 68yrs 4. Rikwe BalaYoh 65yrs 5. Tabitha Danlami 8yrs 6. Sibi Danlami 4yrs 7. Friday Musa 35yrs 8. Daniel Mandi 45yrs 9. Mweri Chogo 86yrs 10. Ayo Balai 6yrs
The attack was carried out by the Fulani herdsmen who intruded from the boundaries of Kaduna-Plateau.
This is one attack too many. Miango community has come under repeated attacks that have largely gone unaddressed.
Our prayers are with the bereaved. May the souls of the departed find repose with the Lord.
Even the innocent little children are not spared by these blood sucking demons. May it never be well with their generations and their sponsors, unless if God does not exist.
What is the offence of these children? Simply because they found themselves in a country that cannot defend them. Waters running down my eyes for the slained little kids. Rest in peace
presidency: *Adds: It’s a testament to the possibilities in the Nigerian economy
Coca Cola’s plan to invest $1 billion in Nigeria in the next five years testifies to the possibilities in the economy despite challenges, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Prof. Osinbajo stated this Monday evening at the 70th anniversary gala of the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC).
According to the Vice President, “your ongoing investment in the country, which I am told will be in the order of $1billion in the next five years, testifies to your faith in the possibilities of Nigeria.”
“And you can rely on the partnership of the Nigerian government, (and i dare say the Nigerian people too) as you make these great strides,” Prof. Osinbajo assured.
While narrating his personal and family stories about drinking Coke, including how he drank two bottles of Coke a day up until 2017, the Vice President reiterated that the Buhari administration’s commitment to “creating an environment that allows the private sector innovate and thrive remains active and sincere, despite the challenges.
“And we will continue to work with businesses across the broad spectrum of our dynamic economy to ensure that we do this with a clear view of the opportunities and problems of the day.”
Prof. Osinbajo further stated that in the 70 years that the company has operated in Nigeria, it has demonstrated “commitment to the Nigerian people with repeated investments, in the building of production facilities across the country, in creating thousands of jobs but also in your active support of every aspect of our national life, from health to education, from women and youth empowerment to sports. All done with conscious respect for the environment.”
Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said “I think it is fair to say that the commitment has been met with the enthusiastic patronage of generations of Nigerians; families who have been supported by the stable careers of staff who have grown with the company through the years.”
He explained that “young people who have found successful careers in sports and entertainment inspired by your support; consumers from Lagos to Kano, Rivers to Plateau, linked by distributors in every region of the country, who have built enduring businesses getting Coca Cola into the hands of millions; a robust value chain that includes service providers and marketing agencies, creators of the iconic Coke adverts that have formed part of our individual and collective memories all these years.”
The high point of the event was the presentation of awards to distinguished staff and partners of the company across the country.
On his part, Board Chairman of NBC, Amb. Segun Apata recalled the company’s growth and contribution to the economy and noted that the company will continue in its 70 years tradition of investing in the economy as well as impacting its host communities through several initiatives, especially for the youths.
Nigerian Bottling Company also known as NBC was incorporated in 1951 but started production in 1953 at the basement facilities of the mainland Hotel, owned by Leventis Group, producing Coke licensed by the Coca Cola Company.
The gala night was also attended by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.

olamidedivotee: No wonder they were playing rubbish that day. We'll be blaiming Gernot Rohr while the players lack discipline. Change start from the players not the coach alone. Athletes having sex before a game is a very wrong thing to do.
In case anyone need a content writer, kindly check my signature.
There ought to be camp rules which the Coach was to enforce strictly on the eve of an important football match. It means that the coach was not in charge, hence the indiscipline and abysmal performance
Please lawyers in the forum. Help me reach out to this lady on Facebook. Her phone number is on her Facebook. Let's try and make sure this man is locked up. Why waste someone's time?
Let's use him and teach other men a lesson. Thank you.
And may God Almighty punish any man who does not have intention of marry a lady but uses marriage promises to sleep with her. May he die miserably.
Sammydanny: Recently, the budding Nigerian rapper and BBNaija winner, Laycon and his music colleague, Joeboy, got their many fans entertained online with their humble display.
The celebrity musicians who can boast of very large fan bases put their airs aside to dine like regular people.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Joeboy and Laycon were spotted sitting cross-legged on the floor as they prepared to ‘demolish’ a bowl of eba and vegetable soup.
This appellation is gradually being made to represent all killer men in the North. Even herdsmen attacks are now tagged bandit attacks and even the victims are falling for this deliberate manipulation.
