You woud be amazed to know that there are well trained Nigerian soldiers who have never seen or touched an RPG.

Infact, most terrorists or bandits have handled far better weapons than Nigerian soldiers.

An average N0rtherner is not as corrupt and criminal-minded as most Southerners.

Infact, I genuinely believe say na we Southerners dey corrupt them, especially when it comes to greed, immorality and love for money.

Celebrity fights are just a bloody and deceitful nuisance...!

Nigerian so called celebs might be a bigger problem to the masses than the equally useless leaders.

So?!! Both are religions with almost similar messages.


Any liberal Christian can easily switch to another religion... If not Islam, then Hinduism, Scientology, Buddhism, etc.

There are Muslims so liberal that they do everything their Christian counterparts do, even practices forbidden in their religion.

Nothing to see here... Just another day in a 3rd world country.

This is extremely sad
I only wish for 2 things

1. The safe return of everyone kidnapped

2. The kidnappers dispatched to investigate the temperature of that other side…….


That road is always busy and you see checkpoints at every stone throw, so all that checkpoint is to extort innocent travelers
If security operatives do their jobs well, those kidnappers will be caught in no distant time, Anambra doesn’t have much thick forests that can hide them

If security agents actually felt inclined to do their jobs, average criminals would be quite scared to indulge in crimes.

I honestly believe insecurity in this nation is happening with the full support and indulgence of the Police force and other key members of the nation's security, including DSS.

A key example was the abduction of those teachers and students of that school in Oyo state... That could never have happened without the assistance of the Police.

This nation is beyond fvcked!

This man called Tululbu is a sadist seriously

You like your family and friends to live in riches and opulence but want others to suffer. How can you justify such.

I know that one day he will face his maker and his maker is going to deal with him plus hell fire 🔥🔥 side

Lol... That's practically the blueprint.

Same as Lagos... The privileged few wallow in riches, while the remaining majority continue running in circles like rats but never touching that wealth.

Ironically and sadly, the impoverished and deprived majority still join in campaigning for and defending these cruel and greedy leaders sucking them dry... Thinking they are living good lives with the little crumbs they are tossed daily.

We don't realize that if a visionary and honest set of leaders take over at all levels, we will be living like kings and queens... Not watching few elite members of the ruling class doing what they please with our resources.

She is not even 44 years old.
Older than that

More like 54 years old

I don't even get the age reduction... What for?!!

What image are they always trying to sell?!! That they age too slowly or what?!

Smh.

Watianoengineer:
What is bad in what he said? Has peter Obi and his followers not said worse things like calling the president a drug lord?

Yeah... I mean, it's not like he wore a shirt with an inscription saying that a certain contestant must go.

Wearing protest shirts is a far more terrible crime compared to threats of electoral violence and even death.

motymop:
They say it because of lack of jobs they do fraud

They go abroad, get a job and still do fraud on the job

Make most Nigerians group managing director of a top company like Meta or Tesla, and they will still embezzle or pilfer funds like they are underpaid.

It's a disease that has spread from generation to generation... That unusual love for money.

Sigh... This get-rich-quick mindset has eaten too deeply into the psyche of most Nigerians, both home and abroad.

Even when you place them in comfortable and wealthy positions, they must still find ways to defraud or cheat the system.

It will take centuries and generations of mental cleansing and rehabilitation to purge this perverse love for money out of young and older Nigerians.

The way many of us worship and glorify money is shocking and saddening.

It's a TRAGEDY!

Kalulu44:
This post and it's subsequent reactions has just made me come out of my self imposed exile from Nairaland.
A lot of you just like provoking someone with your comments.
Just bcus you hear Godwin Obaje just scored his 100 career goals, then NFF and our coaches are biased for having not invited him since and now.
.
FYI guys, do you know that Godwin Obaje has been playing in the NPFL since year 2010 or thereabouts? That's almost 15yrs and he's just scoring his 100 career goals as a striker.
Should we average 100 goals in 15yrs, that should be 7 goals every season.
Is that average befitting for a striker?
.
Now lets leave that aside, do you guys know that they have been home based African Nations cup for over 10yrs and Nigeria is yet to win it with the likes of this same Obaje and co.
Nigeria only make the final once and lost. And ever since it has been group stage exit which recently happened under Eric Chelle. And Obaje was among the team last year.
.
Godwin Obaje has led Rangers Int'l of Enugu to so many CAF competitions. They hardly qualify to the group stages talkless of quarter finals or semi finals.
Same with other home based players currently now.
See the earlier we tell ourselves the truth, the better for us. Nigeria football is at its lowest ebb at the moment.
We're no longer churning out talents like we used to before. And it's showing in all our age grade to senior level teams.
.
I laugh when people after the latest Super Eagles outings clamouring for total overhaul of the team. I then asked, apart from this present crop of players in the Eagles. Where else do we think we have the quality players to take us to the eldorado of football.
If you like agree or not, Ademola Lookman
Calvin Bassey
Alex Iwobi
Wilfred Ndidi
Ola Aina
Samuel Chukwueze
Moses Simon
Akor Adams
Frank Onyeka
Benjamin Frederick to mention but a few are the best we can boast of now.
But the honest truth is that, there's not a single world class player among them. They're all bang average.
Noticed I didn't mention Osimhen, he's the only one we can say is close to being call "world class" even though he's still not there yet.
Who told you these players are not committed, who told you they don't want to win matches. The truth is, they can't give out what they don't have. They're giving out their best out there but that best is their limit.
You can't give what you don't have.
.
And the painful part is that, we don't have better players out there in Europe/world nor here at home. So we're stuck with these present ones.
Lastly I laugh when most of you put the blames on NFF. Shebi there's no NFF board now, howfar?
Instead of you guys to admit our players are not good enough, you keep on hoping for the best.
Abegi let me greet my people and wish them happy new month, nothing concerns me with una independent o.
@Wotowotoman, howfar nah. My Oga don finally release my phone after a week plus.
@TheStoriesOfMan, thanks for asking after me, I am fine.
@Angelfrost, come put mouth for this matter.
@Prinsam, you and Osimhen sha. You no let us hear word with if to say Osimhen dey things for change.
@Pootle, I sight you o!
@Fergie001, you don dey change am for your man C.Ronaldo.
.
Well, just want to let you all know that I am back.

Brother, football doesn't always work based on what the stats on paper say.

Who says this home-based striker would not do far better than Osimhen and others in that front line?!!

We need to learn to try new things... If LVG hadn't taken a chance on Rashford, would he be where he is today?!!

Imagine if Xavi didn't push Lamal, Cubarsi and Pedri forward, would Hansi Flick be flexing today?!!

Never knock what you haven't tried.

Since you said it yourself that the current crop of Internationals are all bang average, what is there to lose in trying homebased talents or mixing them up?!!

Wasn't it a homebased Warri striker that gave Keshi our last Afcon title?!!

Who says Godwin might not have changed our fortunes and qualified us last world cup campaign?!!

Every top coach that took a chance on unknown names did wonders.

Chelle and NFF should wake up and do their jobs... The local talent pool is just wasting away.

PheelzAlmighty:
As a man, never mix with any girl that doesn't have a deep devotion for her father.


You will regret it.

What if the father was abusive and deadbeat?!!

Don't be narrow and close minded.

pigmania:
An adopted child is not your blood, you simply did the child a favor out of love. An adopted child should stay humble and grateful.

...And the child isn't doing you a favor by making you a parent or taking some emotional burden of childlessness off you?!!

Kobicove:
It would appear this woman is a very toxic person

Actually, there have been multiple reports of him being abusive towards the kids, including eye witness reports.

Jolie get wahala, but Pitt has a history of substance abuse and rough life.

So?!! Why is this a big deal??!!!

The man has since moved on with his life.

A name is a person's identity and even signifies what the person stands for.

So, no human being should be under any compulsion to bear any name they aren't comfortable with.

GanagiBitrus:
Many of the comments are looking at it from only one angle. Yes, leaving camp was wrong, but the coach was equally disrespectful in inviting a VIP like Ronaldo to his squad & leaving him throughout on the bench.
He should have at least given him even if it's 10mins of playtime.

Bear in mind that Ronaldo really desires to clock 1000 career goals. The coach should have left him out of the squad if he had no intention of playing him.

It's a coach's prerogative to decide how his team is set up throughout any match, and what players to bring on.

They had a slim lead, and he needed to maintain the game intensity... Clearly, Ronaldo is no longer that sharp commanding figure to ensure that.

Imagine bringing him on, and the opponents equalized... Even you would have blamed the coach.

At some point, you all need to lower Ronaldo from that pedestal... Every team should come first ahead of any player regardless of his past achievements.

Sigh... Oga, just RETIRE abeg.

If you are waiting for them to sack another poor coach for your pride, then you are not serious.

The Police should arrest all of them... Abi, is that not the new pattern?!!

Dbestcno33:
The smaller the space, the easier to manage

Okay... So, America, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, etc, are smaller than Nigeria, abi?!!

Keep justifying mediocrity and poor leadership.

For how long will you hide behind your country's population or size??! Smh.

Bluntemperor:
And Why can't you Submit yourself for elections and see how you can change the Narratives,
Because once 🔂 your own perceived god -is Not in Power,All Others Politicians Are Not Good !
Yet,your Politician you so much trust says,he will first meet other Regional and Tribal Jingoist before he imagined to govern for 4- years!
Is that Not Crazy Illusion 🤣

...And pray tell, who might my "Political god" be?!!

It has to be beneath the intelligence, way beneath, of any learned human being to completely assume or believe that anyone calling out this current pathetically poor leadership is pining for any key opposition aspirant.

Meaning,we shouldn't criticize Tinubu since we are not politicians or campaigning for the office... Smh.

Your brain is really not for decoration... Learn to put it to proper use, especially in learned debates.

Sigh... Under normal circumstances, why should a Nigerian need a visa to visit Tanzania or any other member African nation?!!

I still don't get why people have to be arrested for wearing protest shirts...!

If other democratic nations did the same, Amnesty International and ICC would be working overtime.

Why should the voices of dissent and protest perturb a true leader in a DEMOCRACY?!!

Accommodating opposition views and nonviolent protests is practically the whole difference between democracy and dictatorship... So, which one are we practicing?!

Leave comparison abeg...!

All I know is... Nigeria can and should be doing better than Buhari and Tinubu.

We just not a serious nation.

The entire current political class has absolutely nothing to offer in terms of leadership in this modern era.

Sigh... Narrow escape. Another 9/11 almost carried out by these descendants and acolytes of Bin Laden.


That's all they know how to do... Senselessly killing and maiming innocent people just to create fear and chaos.

TheStoriesOfMan:
As an unpatriotic Nigerian, I'm so happy. Even though my ticket burst.

So happy.

Enyimba or Shooting Stars teams would never lose this game... Never!!!

TheStoriesOfMan:
I like as Guinea Bissau defeated Nigeria.

I mean... I didn't see them losing to this set of Nigerian misfits, but a 3 nil drubbing is UNACCEPTABLE!

Sigh... Super Eagles finally hit rock bottom.

This is completely inexcusable.

The football sector is practically retrogressing.

...making the rounds...

...Sparked mixed reactions...


It seems the vocabulary of you blog writers is now terribly restricted to few recycled phrases and words.

Gang war...!

Reminds me of the tv show: GANGS OF LONDON.

Jennyclay:
It’s only a poor man that would have this settings in his house in 2026

Thank God I didn’t use any of those appliances.

Lol... Poor men don't even live like this today.
