Every family? You are remote from the truth!

It's a fact now

Even if you no accept it

helinues:
It might not be almost next time. The boy should receive sense with his activism

Instead of you to call out the government to avoid any next time, see what you're yapping

And you claim to love Nigeria too

chidi2003:
Why were you so fast to conclude? Fraud is bad, but do you know that: Nigerians are not the number one scammers in the world? Nigerians are just loud about their activities.
Do your research about deadly scammers of the world; you will get countries like: China, Russia, India, Mexico, Colombia, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan,etc.
Nigerians are juniors scammers to many people from this countries.
In all: criminality of any kind is Deplorable; let's all be a wonderful part of Humanity!

See we no just get the enablement of those countries ni ooo

Almost every family in Nigeria today have someone claiming to be yahoo boy or fraudster

Can you say that for every other nation?

BabaO2:
True
Why did Odegbamis, Amasiemekas not turn beggars, not to talk of Ahmed Musa, Mikel Obis, Drogbas, Etos, George Weahs, after Nigeria has given them platform to showcase them to the world, most of them still want Nigerian government to finance their weddings, buy diapers for their babies etc as if their services brought goldmine to Nigeria, bunch of lazy and ungrateful people. It is even annoying, not as if some of them even deserved to play for Nigeria on merit.

But Liverpool did everything to honour diogo Jota

Our values has a nation is being faded away right in our sight and because we want to sound right, we keep ignoring that

Africa needs to create a market for sport that can keep these guys busy even after retirement

We need to also invest in having professional certification schools, not everyone will want to go back to school after fame

But if there are these schools where you can learn just one thing professionally, many of them will jump on it

Does it please you to know that even most of the ex-athlete that even manages to do well in life after retirement run out of Nigeria cos there are no markets for them here

You can't even contest to be a State FA chairman, not to talk of MFA president, not to talk of being the super eagles coach

Our economy is also mostly an underpaid one, so persons that have been enjoying salaries in foreign currency now start living with the small change that they get here

In all, we need to still improve our standards as a nation, it is wrong for us to accept this current situation as the best we can have at the moment

cunny88:
They want to pile on all the problems on the government with tax payers money.

Forget that thing wey Ideye dey talk, even sports can pay them for life, we don't just have the right system

The European clubs you are talking about, they have a system where even ex-footballers are valued

Many Ex-footballers have gone on to become great coaches and administrators but here na civil servant still dey do all of these stuffs

Tell me why a sport minister slot will be allotted to those who have never played any sport professionally?

Sports is a big business on its own that can accommodate all ex-players and feed them for life sef

We are obviously not ready in this country with this blame game, even the Europeans una dey quote, their players still dey inside the system after retirement

One thing is back home football is shitty

Deco is barca sporting director today, it was Abidal formerly

Alonso is a Real Madrid coach today same as Vincent Kompany

But our own football has no imprint of ex-footballers and we think they won't be growing broke

Not every will succeed in business, but if you succeed in a particular sport, it is still easier to find your way around that.

zero8zero:
Has he won the election before turning himself into condolence minister and visiting every victims?.

So Peter Rufai is just another victim abi??

How old are you sef??

ChiefOloye:
Nobody is obsessed with him, people only marvel at his desperations, which oftentimes are not well thought out, which results in gaffes, causing him needless embarrassments.

Even if it's because of the call out by Taribo, what's bad in visiting the family of a legend??

Nigerians this thing una dey do make sense laidis

Imagine is it this same Abuja abi another one

Something has simple as having even a colour for public transport vehicles sef no dey, you can easily get kidnapped here cos you don't know private vehicles from public transport vehicles

The cost of living is on an all time highest now sef

Even satellite towns in the FCT are no longer affordable, so what is this one talking about

helinues:
That should be logical now. Abi which narration would the opposition tell the Abuja people to convince them

You dey live Abuja too??

A city that has no transport system, that one dey work😂

Image123:
And he miraculously forgot to tell us the names already. If General too dey fear, why he dey accuse civilians? What stopped him from anonymously giving the proof?

But it is a common knowledge to every reasonable person that these guys have some sort of cover now

You don't even need investigation to uncover that

We see it right in our own eyes on a daily.

Recently a prominent friend of the president did something very terrible and it was swept under the carpet even when it was in public glare

Now imagine what goes on if it's not made public

Care4:
It's so pathetic that Abuja has no public transport system. You can count the number of covered bus stops. Most passengers wait under bridges or trees. It's terrible for a city built from scratch and purportedly planned.

Asin a big disgrace ooo, if you are not strong in this Abuja, you go just waka in circles ni

Almost all bus stops na until driver tell you before you can decode as a first timer

Poorly planned and yet these guys don't want us to hear word about their lord

The problem is we are too slow or even stagnant in our development drive and yet some of us are just okay with the slow development becos they pay us peanuts

Burob:
which 3rd term bid, by who? The same person that says the judiciary is corrupt?

Obasanjo has disgraced himself for making such a reckless statement just to sell his nonsense book.

What is this one saying abeg??

How old were you when Obasanjo was lobbying for third term bid??

tunjijones:
Peter obi had never had any chance to be the president of Nigeria.in 2023 election, any vote for Peter obi was a vote for Tinubu. I still secretly think obi works for Tinubu.

I no trust all these politicians

He worked for Tinubu to get over 6m votes 🤣

Una just funny sha

WesleyPepper:
More like it .
Reno Omokri got it wrong when he was waiting for Pandora to deliver Babangida’s birthday message .
Obi is more comfortable with condolences. That’s his forte

Nigeria don go ooo

Imagine what someone is talking about a legend in the football world

Make Una dey thank una stars that this is a faceless forum Sha

Cos I doubt you can spew these outside

owobokiri:
I'm not happy with the way the federal government and the Lagos state government treated Peter Rufai.
That man was Nigerias best goal tender for decades. Very humble. Very hardworking and hardly troublesome like some Super Eagles players of yesteryears.
Why they basically ignored him is beyond me..
Abi, he was a member of the Obidient movements?

The NFF should have taken charge of his burial

Reason why young footballers these days wants to grab all they can from the country while still in service cos when they are retired they are forgotten like they never existed or even rendered any service to this country

Softmirror:
This is Obi's style of campaign. You know it, I know it.

And is there any problem with that??

Moreso, this guy is a legend,.just so most Una don't even know Rufai at all

Softmirror:
Why do you think he went there if not because it is about his political ambition. When last did you see him moving from church to church. When election is around the corner Obi go turn Roman Catholic Pastor.

Whether for politics or not, he's being where he no go even see any favors

And Rufai is a legend by all standards, so visiting his family is not an issue at all

Na you get problem cos you think Tinubu will be president forever

Ask those who worked with Jonathan and Buhari today

ChiefOloye:
Obi, the desperate politician. Because Taribo West complained that Government didn't support Rufai's burial, boom baba alasodudu, a.k.a mourner-in- chief is at Awuwa Odofin, to commiserate with the family.
Does Obi really think he can contest the presidential election in 2027 and defeat President Tinubu or he's just doing all of these for 2039?

And what's the issue in visiting the family of one of the greatest goalkeeper Nigeria ever had

Even if na for politics, Rufai deserved this and more

When the president was being political about the wins of the falcons and d'tigress, it wasn't an issue

Did you see how Liverpool have been honouring Jota not to talk of a legend in Rufai

Make una dey rest ooo

Tinibu will leave but Nigeria go still remain ooo

Hehehehehe:
When did we discuss this? Btw do u even remember u are yet to respond to the question I asked in our last discussion? Am still curious to know it. "What do u do for a living?"

He/She posts and comment on Nairaland for a living now

Even his posts no dey every get head sef

personal59:
May God help us ooooo.... the father of corruption of modern day nigeria who introduce bribery to the senate and house of assembly because of power tussle with Atiku. Who also introduced bribery to the judiciary due to political witch hunt is talking about corruption. This man think everyone is a toddler in 1998.

So now that you're older, you should continue the bad habit??

Infact now, all the instruments and institutions of government are working just as the houseboy of the president and you think that's some progress right

nothingspoil70:
Electoral process was so compromised during the tenure of this baba that even the beneficiary of the compromise had to admit it and promised to do something about it. This man should please shut up

If Nigerians still dey reference over 20years to justify the ills of today, then we are not just ready to move

Is it the same knowledge you have 20 years ago, you have now?

Obviously No, our tomorrow should always be better than today and our today better than yesterday

pdppower:
Baba should not act saint now because he started the whole corruption thing

Humans are always known to want to cut corners, but it is the judiciary job to stand their grounds

And we all remembered how both the Lawmakers and even Judiciary shut down the third term bid even with the huge bribe allegedly that was offered

But now, we have a National Assembly that even housemaids have more freedom than and a judiciary that even slaves are better off.

So what are you saying exactly??

ZeemsPropeties:
It is not everything the state government should do. This is a job for the private sector. And, frankly, if someone hasn't built something there, it's because there's hardly any market there.

So Private sector go just rush there and start building abi?? 😁

And one day the owners of the land will come and tell the private sector that they are redefining their culture

Nigerians never really know wetin dey do us sha

funsho75:
But sometimes...
People needs to respect the code of institutions

There was a time Berekete in Abuja was shot down because of misconduct.

Am not say the government should suppress freedom of speech.

But if u want freedom of speech don't be a Radio journalist... Be a social media or investigative journalist

But as a Radio and TV journalist.. There are codes

Even on this platform, there are words u can't use if not u will be suspended, so are u saying Seun is suppressing freedom of speech

Where I don't like we Nigerians is we use emotions to see issues. I don't think anyone hv even done any research to no exactly what does guys did before making comments

We just come here and paint one person wrong base on the one side news we heard, we don't even no wat the station did, no news outlets is outlining wat they did

Why will they... The news have an purpose

Media all over the world are always controversial

Infact controversies sells more

The government are only afraid of the oppositions using the media as a tool to aggravate their shortcomings

If the government was really working for the people as they claim why should they worry about all these

Do you listen to TVC and Radio Continental abi wetin dem call am, prior to the 2015 elections??

Even Programs that were not politics program was used to attack GEJ and still their station was not closed

Infact our media are now more government friendly still they are still gagging them

Just imagine that the only news reportage channel na NTA

The APC government is just a plain hater of the media

aribisala0:
Obasanjo did not grow it

Obasanjo was never in charge of the CBN
You are making my point
This subject is something you don't understand
It is beyond your knowledge and everything you say reveals ignorance
If you know what foreign reserves actually are you won't be asking this question

What is the purpose of foreign reserves

What are they for?

Do you know?

But Tinubu grew his own according to his supporters right??🤣

004gist:
..

So what is your point now?
Because am asking how come obasanjo was able to grow the reserve to over 800% from 4billion to 40+ billion within 8 years despite low oil prices

It's the federal government policies, actions and inaction and business activities that grows these reserves.

And similarly with a not too woke economy ooo

Obasanjo practically headed an entirely manual economy

Now with the advent of tech, we should be blasting 100s of millions sef

But our president friends still want us to believe this is the best for our country

happney65:
You people can lie. As in pure blatant lie. There was no time oil prices reached $100 mark under Obasanjo. Haba. Infact OBJ meet it at $17 per barrel and it went to about $65 by the time he left in 2007.

It was only during GEJ that it went to $100 per barrel and pass the $100 mark

Like we tell you people, propaganda doesn't do government. You can win with propaganda. You can't rule with it because your ineptitude can't be hidden.

Eyin Opuro oshi.

https://www.thecable.ng/fact-check-no-oil-price-wasnt-100-per-barrel-between-1999-and-2019-as-buhari-claimed/

They need to justify their pay now, I used to not believe the fact that they are being paid for this their comments

But recent happenings of defending what's not defendable actually makes me began to think maybe they are actually paying these guys to do all of these sha

helinues:
There is something mutual about those who increased the FX they met. They all have political will.

President Tinubu is just 2 years old, oil price have not been that high but still saving .I am just imagining what our FX would be by 2031.

And to those who have been shouting it should have been more than that because of the subsidy removal, how about the state governors that their money have been increased for over a year now? How about different projects across the Nigeria regions?

Nigeria is in the right direction with president Tinubu

So projects were not done before this government?

Buhari did the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, second Niger bridge, even the completion fo the Abuja-kaduna rail all while paying subsidy and padding the naira as una talk

Still gave the country Npower, and some other social funds

It seems we even underrated buhari Sha

Cos with what bulaba is doing now, light at the end of the funnel dey blurry ooo

chopnaira:
Very true. Unlike the agulu man.

Stop being a kid man

We are talking about Presidents here, leave obi out of it

Your lord Tinubu is doing so poorly at the moment, that should concern you more

happney65:
You think Obasanjo is a tribalist like the current ones in power? Absolutely NO. OBJ doesn't care where the hell you are from as long as you can do the Job. Go Ahead.

And that is why since 1999,He had the best economic indices. These ones now blaming themselves didn't even have it worst as we did in 1999.

I keep on wondering what they would have said if they were the ones that took over in 99. They would have simply sold us off to China or somewhere else

Awọn Oluya

P.S
The Obasanjo years were even a period of very low oil prices. Yet,he still increased minimum wage that had been stagnant for years. This post deserves FP.
Mods over to you

In as much as Baba had his own shortcomings, but he handed the country to experienced hands

And he allowed most of them to work,

We all remembered how Oshiomole was on his neck all tru his administration

And he brought many young blood into the system

But what we have today is leaders appointing their stooges into offices so as to shut opposition off

Even our Senate were more vibrant then than today, imagine what's going on in Rivers and the Lawmakers, plus the judiciary just fold arms dey look

Even the media are being gagged on their neck now

God help us sha
