Well done.

What an evil human being!

I disagree with the bolded. If you want people to come to your country, in the numbers that would make a difference, naturally you would loosen up some things, loosening up does not mean giving in entirely, it just means giving some concessions. The middle East does not need the West to do that.
Dubai used to be very strict about non married couples sharing a room, but these days they've loosened it.
Look, you either respect the country you're going to or don't bother going. There would be concessions, just don't expect them to concede much.

Reference:


Oga. The only reason why you and I can go to the middle-east for whatever reason is because they are opening up to the west... and that is if you are not of the faith practiced there and even then with significant prejudice. Now, this is a double edged sword as every man will have to sift through the porridge to bring out the 'meat' palatable to his palette.

I for one will select human rights to chew on..... this is principally championed by the west, not Asia or Africa, as not a single nation in the east can compel arabs to 'loosen up'.
Beer drinking, if I will select that meat I will keep that aside because though I detest it, I will not 'kill' my neighbour for drinking beer.
LGBTQ or whatever is called is one meat that actually 'threatens my life', I just cannot stand it, so if I draw it out I will definitely bin it.

We ALL have preferences and prejudices, some we hope the west can help out and some we hope these arab nations will resist. And that is why I don't fancy Infantino's job. He should just smile at everyone and cool tempers.... he should not take sides or attempt to referee this fight. He will get knocked out.

So it is clear, hate them or like them, without the west and its 'westernizing' pressure Arabia will be unlivable by anyone outside that culture and religion and indeed much of other Asian countries. And I speak as a Nigerian with a British colonial heritage.

Which brothers are you talking about sir?
How do I depend on the west to survive in the east?

Reference:


Yeah, just as your brothers are maltreated in the Middle East.
Be careful what you wish for.
You will still depend on these 'hypocritical' west to survive in the east.
Today Nigerians are no longer worthy to be admitted to the UAE.

Western hypocrisy is catching up with FIFA.In Rome, do as the Romans do.In Qatar, XYZ is not allowed. Respect yourself and don't do it. But westerners try to claim moral superiority and start shouting about universal human rights. Universal human rights as defined by who? The west, of course.  
I knew all these commotions would happen. I knew because something similar happened to SA when they were to host the World Cup. With the amount of negative press from the West that SA received eh, you would have thought that the World Cup would be taken away from SA. Similar things also happened in the lead-up to the Russia World Cup: negative press left, right and center. Once the West does not like you, they will use their press to write and say negative things about you.

once the baby is born he should do a DNA test. Regardless of the outcome of the DNA test, he should send that hoe packing.

This is very good information.

America destroying itself from the inside.

There is nothing I would say that would convince you otherwise, so, there is no point in trying.

fergie001:
That's why Rooney's case was worse.
Rooney said United lacked ambition... Allowed Ronaldo and Tevez leave without replacements.

Gary Neville once narrated how they felt disappointed when Rooney told them in the dressing room he was leaving for City.

Rooney submitted his transfer request and publicly asked SAF to let him leave. It was a public spectacle.

Rooney even refused to play in Ferguson's last game at OT (in May 2013) because his transfer request to City wasn't granted.

Rooney even asked his name be removed from the squad list Against Swansea.

So?

You are right. But at that time, Wayne Rooney was at the top of his game. The CR7 of today, is a shadow of his former self.

fergie001:
Wellz maybe. He won't be the first to say it. Even Rooney at some point said some of the things Ronaldo raised when he publicly attempted to leave for City.

There are better ways to have managed it though.

His interview demeaned the club.

fergie001:

I don't know how Cantona won us the league that Ronaldo enjoyed?

Ronaldo's beef is also partly with Ten Hag. Again, he has not demeaned the club, he said certain persons in the club.

I just watched the video now... He said 2 or 3 Senior Executive at the hierarchy.

The guy is tarnishing his legacy

fergie001:
Well, there are things we don't know happen behind the scenes.

United will move on and Ronaldo's legacies will not be defined by this. This interview must have been done a long time ago but released now on purpose. It only means one thing:

Like the 2018 World Cup, he is not coming back from Qatar as a Man United player. Jorge Mendes must have done his thing!

Thank you United
God Bless Ronaldo.
God Bless Man United.
God Bless Us All.

Garnacho wants to steal Rashford's place on the left.

I hope we win. We need to end the first half of the season on a high.

Which football is that? It looks familiar

The only thing better than money is more money

This is a team battling relegation earlier this year (last season) before money bag bought them

They've won 7 and draw 3 of their last 10 matches before this fixture and they've lost just once this season

Me too

I thought it's only me, had to change my Network from 4G to 3G.

Same for me. Although the service has picked up

Wow, this is a very ignorant comment.
But I would answer your question about how restructuring would end Nigeria's economic stagnation.
In a restructured Nigeria where the federating units (you can call them states, regions or geopolitical zones) have control over their natural and human resources and not the FGN, there would be no more going to Abuja to share money with the states. Instead, the federating units would have to develop their human and natural resources to earn income, which would now be used to develop their region. For example, the SS geopolitical zone They have oil; they are in control of the oil, not FGN. All the income from oil goes to them. The leaders cannot use the excuse that Abuja has not released funds or that the funds are insufficient. The income can be used to invest in the SS region's agricultural products, which earn more income. Also, because the region controls its resources, it would earn from export tariffs on products exported to other countries.
A restructured Nigeria would end economic stagnation because it would force the federating units to develop their human and natural resources to the best of their abilities and enjoy the income from them.
Bro, do you think pipeline vandalism would happen if the SS controlled the oil? No! Why? Because who bombs where they eat from?

A restructured Nigeria would end economic stagnation because it would force the federating units to develop their human and natural resources to the best of their ability and enjoy the income from it.

hedonido:
How exactly will restructuring or true federalism 'end' Nigeria's economic stagnation? How? I'm curious.

The clamour for restructuring and true federalism would clearly give greater control to the federating units/regions, and promote a sense of localised power, but that's even unlikely - because the minorities within each region would still cry out about inequalities and marginalisation.

Then of course the most immediate reality that would emanate from true federalism is that the core North would be absolutely penurized because the largesses they have unfairly enjoyed for decades would be eliminated. So of course there would be no near term 'improvement' in the economy of the North. Rather, their economic woes will be x10 of what it is today.

The truth is that true federalism or restructuring is more a cry for justice - justice for the South specifically - than anything else. That's why the North cannot and will never entertain any such talk.

God bless you. NIGERIA WOULD NEVER MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT RESTRUCTURING!

I am happy that other people are beginning to understand the need to restructure Nigeria and practice true federalism where the federating units have autonomy over their natural and human resources.

Like the OP said, the politicians know that restructuring is the way forward but they are stalling because the present structures suits them.

Some weeks back, i learnt that one tiny ball of akara is ₦50. Something that was ₦10 years ago. Smh.

Martial suits ETH's style of play.

Manchester United played ball in the second half.

Some women are the definitiopn of evil.

Say no to jungle justice.

That is what you get when you marry a woman who has been sleeping around. She would always compare your dick game to other men's dick games.

If only Africa has strong leaders and leadership. We be able to tell the west to go to hell with their climate change nonsense.
For those of you that don't understand what is going on. Climate change is one of ways the west is using to make itself relevant and force countries to be energy dependent.

As it stands today, no renewable energy can power the economy of a country. Yet the west is screaming at Africa to abandon its natural resources and instead buy renewable energy from them.
1. Abandon our God given resources(coal, oil and gas etc)
2. Buy renewable energy from them(Tesla etc)
3. Renewable energy can't power economies
4. Make Africa dependent on the west for energy.

If had strong leaders we should not even be attending such events. Our strong leaders would have told the west that until africa's economy matures then we can think of switching to renewable.
But unfortunately, we don't have such leaders.
Look at South Africa that have issues with load shedding they under pressure to stop using coal, coal that is very cheap oh! Instead they should switch to renewable that can't power their economy.

Some years ago former finance minister of Nigeria she said one of the reasons why the FGN was not thinking of using coal in Enugu was because the world bank was not given loan for coal because it was a dirty fuel, something like that.

So we should abandon our natural resources which is cheaper for us and easy to get because it is on our land because the west says it is dirty fuel.

TUFIAKWA BLACK MAN!!!

Until we blacks start using our God given brain to think, WE WOULD FOREVER BE SLAVES TO THE WHITE MAN
