Too early in his career. John Barnes was made Celtic manager in 1999. Like it was feared it came too early for him. He never got a break in management since.

When you begin at the top, just make sure you do well. Otherwise it will become a negative reference point for years to come. Their transfer market restriction will not help after losing Hazard.

He should have been made assistant to Zola and take over from Zola later.

Otherwise Espirito Santo of Wolves should be getting the job. He has proven himself.

Ikpeazukerosene:
I beg to disagree.

He was playing badminton in Sudan

Where did you get that from dude? He was a wheelbarrow race pilot in Saharawi Democratic Republic.

Making sexual advances to any opposite sex 'adult isn't a crime but assault, torture, kidnapping, blackmail, are major crimes......

But in many professions sex or trying to have sex with people in your care is against code of practice.
Doctors, social workers, teachers, lecturers, dentists, etc.

Such professionals have a high level of authority over their patients, students, people in their care, etc. So that they can overwhelmingly exert power and pressurise them into sex against their will.
Surely every lecturer should be aware of it.

If you lecture in Ado-Ekiti university and date a girl at say FUTA without any chance of giving marks for sex or failing her, then no problem.

Those who videoed and blackmailed him are just behaving like typical 9ja youth: no knowledge of the law, just power and gra-gra. Including the youth in politics like mace-snatchers and legislative speaker coup plotters in state houses of assembly in Nigeria.

It's allowance increment not salary

Hopefully such allowance will apply to other sectors.

I hope the actor Brought snakes as presents.

KanuSE:
Nigerian Police no be police na, dem be vigilantes with guns to harass armless civilians.

Auntie, haba! Our police are not that bad Na. How dem go leave civilians with arms and legs and go dey harass innocent amputees?
But you are right. If you pose no danger then you are an easy prey for them to manhandle and fleece.

Happy weekend.

OK. Really going to Sanwo. As long as other sectors like education and health care staff are not left out, fine. Otherwise those will start agitating for their own salary increase.

No wonder, my aunt is so particular with her baby's things being touched by third party. You must wash your hands or use hand sanitizers before carrying her baby.

That's not too good also, what your aunt is doing. No evidence where the baby got herpes from.

It could be from immediate family, like the mum and not Christening. If it is, it's rare.

Exposure to normal flora of people in the environment is normal.

You aunt might "wrap her child in cotton wool" and end up being asthmatic. Since the baby's immune system didn't get exposed to much microbes to get "educated/programmes" the right way. Instead it will wrongly perceive innocuous protein in foods like peanuts or sea food or grass pollen as microbes to fight.

Allergy and illnesses such immune system errors can occur.

African politicians can fool themselves. I'd rather he dressed casually, kept his hands off public money and got the job done timely to a very high standard.

Do they want him to be using public money to order suits from London, brocade and premium lace from Austria and Switzerland before he can come and give account of his ministerial duties?

Am sure this country can't be up to ogun state in terms of economy and population but don't be surprised their citizens are still leaving their life and not existing on earth as many people are in Nigeria.

It's not even officially a country o. In fact it has less recognition than Palistinian Authority. It is under control or claimed by Morocco. It is supported by adversaries of Morocco such as Algeria.

It has a fairly large black population. It was annexed by Morocco in the 1970s when colonial master Spain moved out.
It is generally called Western Sahara.

Official population is like that of Sango-Otta. Around 100k.
Though they claim over 500k which is probably still not more than Abeokuta population.

We oppose Biafra but support Saharawi. We side with kekerebo countries and leave those with more benefits to us. Imagine North Korea is now our latest buddy.

Kenya, why una dey upstage 9ja for bad things Na? We will not take it!

Nice.

Go get your younger ones to come manage the place for you

The worst thing he can do.

You can sack a stranger. Sack a family member and create an enemy within.

No paddy for jungle now.

VERY high chance a relative will operate without fear and do worse.

He should install CCTV and ensure all payments are made under CCTV. Evidence of taking money away from under CCTV or accepting payment away from CCTV equal to theft and police arrest should be in employment contract.

Of course install a secret camera too. In case they disable the CCTV to hide stealing.

Most humans will look down on people they feel academically & or financially superior to. Period.

Women manage their pride even less well. See how housewives pour hot water and hot oil on housemaids for example.

Women are used to marrying up. Successful and powerful men attract women. Like Ned & Regina Daniels.

Only few successful women do not let it get into their heads. More common for wives to earn more in Western world.


But women choose to believe that the hubby "has low self-esteem, is jealous, etc" than face the clear reality of women's behaviour.

Ajgal10:
The Black men have refused to assume responsibility and take charge, oftentimes this white men aren't even Rich, but they are more flexible to live with. Our best Brains are married to white men, the whiteman knows how to manage success and help a woman soar! You guys need to learn that too and your black women won't need some old white men.

Lol. I remember how we black guys gathered to "open eye" and warn a white average guy fond of beating his Nigerian wife black and blue. If not he could easily have killed her. He adjusted himself after that.

She used to lie to us about her swollen face and later just avoided us after being beaten mercilessly. I have never known any black guy abuse a woman at close range like that.
What many black ladies endure in the hands of white guys is far from the bliss they thought they signed up for.

Black guys typically get out once they have collected their kpale from any difficult oyinbo lady.

Nice.

Life expectancy 31 years? Brazilians' life expectancy is 76 years

Median age is not same as LE.

It just means it has a lot of young people. Perhaps high fertility rate, early parenthood, etc. Not necessarily only due to low life expectancy.

In the case of Japan, the high median is a combination of high life expectancy and low fertility. There are just relatively more older people in the population than most other countries.

9ja's very low median is cause for concern. It definitely points to much fewer elderly people and very high fertility rate. Meaning each adult has a relatively high burden of looking after many dependents. And by the way, many adults have low income, unemployed or under-employed.

Wait o, nor be that thug agbero wey lead other thugs to steal mace last time?

Chai! APC honouring their thuggish name.

Terrible. 25 years in jail and his assets sold off to treat and rehabilitate the poor girl.

Congrats.

This na slay ancestral spirit o.

Was he playing Tekno music why planting and tending to the cassava farm?

You will not see ministry of agric or any agric depart staff from any university there now o.

If only to share loot.

A slave will always be a slave no matter his billions

People are subjects, not slaves. Freeborn people were never regarded as slaves. Only as servants of the Oba. In that they carry out Oba;'s instructions. That included the dukes, chiefs/nobles and all citizens. Only war captives, descendants of captives and people sent from other inferior kings as tribute or gifts back in the day were slaves. But they still were not treated like those in the Americas during trans-Atlantic slave trade. Some females slaves, especially the very pretty/endowed ones even married into the top notch of the society.

Some slaves excelled in craft, warfare and other endeavours to become famous or even heroes and some were ennobled.

Pistotita:
I believe he has looked into it. The issue is that banks (those who will finance him) work with statistics. Check the comments above, and you see people go for cheap and terrible stuff in the name of saying that's what they can afford. But really, I believe 30% of those kind of ppl can afford better quality if they just wait a bit longer for like 6mths to 1 year. That is the trend here. Even people go for cheap food, which is terrible. It is just the way of life in Nigeria. Though, the economy is terrible.

Bro, if Buhari bans all used cars, and he is able to check all ground borders, Nigerians will start buying new cars. People who think they cannot afford them will start buying them. You will be shocked.

When OBJ banned importation of 10 years and above used vehicles, the only mistake he made was not adequately prepared to check all land borders in Nigeria. So, illegal vehicle smuggling was the reigning business for some set of people called "crossers". And the custom guys at land borders made huge money.

This resulted to extreme low income of tax and other fees for vehicles in the Nigerian Ports Authority. The bosses in NPA had to plead with the president to reverse that rule (not sure if it was OBJ, Yara Dua, or Jonathan than reversed it.

Back to the discussion, only the upper class in Nigeria has rhe mentality of buying new vehicles. Therefore this class is the market he has to target. Another strategy he needs to use is to lobby with senate to force government departments to patronize him. So, it is more political. That man has really tried to survive till date.

I'm sure Chief Chukwuma is a savvy man. And has probably checked out the figures. Fact is that the Nigerian business environment is just too difficult.
Western leaders use cars made in their country with pride.
I would have expected at least all Eastern governors to be using Innoson cars by now. They can make it an armoured car for safety.

When governors, police and top officials start using it, ordinary people will copy them.
He has been courting govt patronage but no much success yet.
It's a pity though. He just have to succeeded. Anything else would be our collective disgrace.

As in ehn......

Upon all the juju, just one drone from the US and the kingdom will be levelled. Na why we no dey progress

Well, pagan Romans levelled the Second Temple of God in Jerusalem in 70 AD. Israel never really existed as a state/nation again until 1948 here.

In 587 BC, the pagan Babylonians first of all levelled the First Temple built by King Solomon. I am waiting for you to castigate Jews and Christians for still believing in Yahweh.

Sure your likes won't know the above history if not told.

Above 2.5 m is too much for the average income level of Nigerians.

Innoson has sadly missed a trick here since years. By not coming up with a small family car of about 2m. Even if he has to partner with the Chinese, Indians or Brazilians to achieve it.

Her First Lady time was never boring. She gave I go dye and Alibaba dem a run for their money.

You too much Dame Pat.

Before this envy, bitching and bad belle must have been going on. Behind all the smile. You know women.

A person you pity and help can be your worst enemy.

That culprit deserves a decent jail term. At least a year.

Lol. APC scam.

Horrible!

RIP.

fatiaforreal:
Everywhere they see Yoruba they want to attach. What did Benin kingdom achieve before Oranmiyan came from Ife? They claim they had tens of Ogiso, let them mention the achievement of one! Lastly, ask them about their origin, they'll tell you they flew from Egypt. Bullshit! Their origin is Ife and Nupe! Whether they take take it or not, that's the simple truth. Nupe, old Ife, Chad are much older human settlements than Igodo,
later renamed Ile Ibinu, Ubini, and finally Bini.

Lol. Both sides are guilty of this dude. We just like to fight in this country generally. For no reason. Afonja here, Igbo there. It is turning out that the generations earlier were far better.

Gather here for a selfie if you have changed to "Nicodemus" or John The Baptist since hearing this song.
