Thunder fire una dia. Until Mancity wins Champion's League, 20 premier leagues and FIFA club world cup, they are nothing but zero.

Pained Manchester United fan. City would win the UCL eventually. It's only a matter of time.

I'm not sure what Bayern is doing in top 5.

Sometimes, you don;t have to depend on the government for job creation. Why can't the people take up farming instead of trooping to Lagos for a life they have no idea how it will end, or before leaving the village for Lagos, what have they done or skills acquired that will help them to survive in the city, they will carry their bags and just move to the city. Most in the village needs to take up farming and even those in Lagos will depend on them
few years ago, most of the students in Lagos were sponsored in school by the farming business of their fathers and mothers, so now we are all educated and instead of adding education to farming, we chose to dump farming and blame the government

everyone can't be farmers. Farming is level 1 civilization, especially the subsistence kind you are advocating for.

What we need is industrialization in most parts of the country. We need to be able to produce basic things (besides food) and generate adequate power so we can take part in the current tech revolution.

Big deal. Didn't Ronaldo also make them disallow Dybala's goal in the UCL group stage last season? Juve would have gotten the win, but oga had to put his head.

Sometimes these moves are instinctive. Nani apologised, life goes on.

Zidane
Kaka
Figo (all to Real Madrid) didn't live up?

he's a Ronaldo fan boy. He has to worship his idol to feel like he's having a good day.

Gullah:
Someone was accused, you didn't see the stolen item on him or have any evidence whatsoever that he actually did what he was accused of yet you went ahead to kill him?

Nigerians are naturally wicked and bloodthirsty. They pretend to be doing it because they are offended by crime, whereas they just want to beat someone to death and draw blood.

Women ehn... I hope that woman gets thrown in jail. She is the one that murdered him.

We all know the importance of human census! What your post shows is you don't know the importance of animal census! I am not Fulani but I keep animals! The tracking aspect will tackle cattle rustling. Cattle rustling is a MAJOR facilitator of crime in Nigeria. The Zamfara problem is majorly cattle rustling. Do you know how many Nigerians have lost their lives to that crisis? This will prevent it. In fact, like many things this Administration is doing, this was planned by GEJ administration but as usual not implemented

cattle rustling isn't a major facilitator of crime in Nigeria. It is a major excuse given by herdsmen after they slaughter humans for whatever reason that suits them.

How is counting cattle going to prevent theft? Thieves wouldn't steal a cow because they would be afraid it has been counted? Your logic is amusing.

Telkart19:
Well, India, Pakistan, Belgium, Italy, Uganda, etc actually also do or have done livestock censuses..

The Food and Agriculture Organisation, a unit of the UN also recommends it.

I'm surprised we haven't done it before. Infact, I think we should also count other domestic animals. Helps in planning.

I can't find proof of your claim for Belgium or Italy. Only india actively does it. Uganda seems to have done it just once and they are still estimating livestock population (the census was useless).

Anyway, the fact that it has been done by other countries does not make it a good idea. If it is meant to resolve claims of stolen cattle, it is a stupid idea.

How do you confirm that the cattle was stolen and not sold? Are you trusting herdsmen who can kill to always tell the truth? Are you expecting nomads to go document any birth, death or sale of their cows?

We can't even accurately tell our human population and you want to count animals that would get killed the next day without any documentation. Good luck wasting our money.

Telkart19:
The first 8 COMMENTS are being made by people who don't seem to read the article.

One thing that causes violence between Fulanis and farmers is that Fulanis often claim their cows were stolen or eaten.

With the census, not only would we know the ACTUAL number of cows in this country, but possibly be able to trace every cow that enters in this country. This would not only reduce rustling, but also prevent cows from being stolen, and also ensure speedy prosecution of cattle rustlers.

And end violence in many parts of the country, and importantly end the whole crisis.

I don't support Fulani violence, or APC, or Buhari. I just like a good idea when I see one.

Also there is this


In other words, there is also a planning component to it.

Thing is, time we started planning our agricultural practice in this country.

N.B: If you quote me to insult me, I will report you to the moderators. No excuses.

it's actually a really stupid idea by the FG, another useless endeavor meant to waste money and achieve nothing.

Unless you are saying you expect illiterate herdsmen to document every birth, death or sale of any of their cows afterwards with some ministry responsible for animal population, that census become obsolete quickly and can even cause more harm than good.

A herdsman can sell a cow and then claim it was stolen, and the census figures would back up his tale of having more cows before. How do you verify such claims? How do you monitor nomads?

Entitlement mentality in ladies. Being female doesn't earn you any favours unless I'm just being generous/kind.

Awesome idea.... Thinking outside the box

LilMissFavvy:
As a father would you tell your 18-20 year old daughter that ''this is your last opportunity to get married?''. I say 18-20 cuz dat must have been her age, since she is currently 21. As for the issue of a guy marrying at 21, have you not seen successful men at 21? Especially those from wealthy homes.....hmm!

evidently you missed the part where I said 'usually'. Just as there are some successful men at 21, there are also husbands at 21. But what percentage of the male population are they, especially in our part of the world? It's almost negligible.

Are you saying she tried to kill the husband years later because the father told her at 18-20 that it was her last opportunity to get married? I'm struggling to see how that information is relevant to her action years later. What is the connection?

People do bad things, regardless of age and gender. High time you ladies admitted that you can be more than just the victims in every story, and acknowledge the times you have been conscious perpetrators of serious acts of crime. Being forced or pressured into marriage has nothing to do with trying to kill someone in his sleep, don't try to bring it up as an excuse.

If it was a guy, no one would bring up excuses for him for criminal acts.

koyyess:
Let's turn the table now.

If you were forced to marry someone older than you for some sick culture reasons simply because you had a philandering d1ck as a teenager. And your older wife treated you exactly the way this lady said he treated her....will you come here and type this sh1t?

Can you love an older woman you were forced to marry as a teenager?

a better question is, would I try to kill her because I was forced to marry her? I think not.

As a follow up...
If I do try to kill her, should I be held accountable? Yes!

Does the forced marriage justify the attempted murder? No.

Is immaturity an excuse at 21? No, unless you are saying she's a retardd.

If the story is put on NL, would koyyess defend a guy who tried to kill his wife because he married her at an early age against his wish? I bet not. You wouldn't try to change the topic to child marriage either.

That's the difference between the both of us. If something is wrong, I call it out regardless of the gender of the perpetrator or victim.

You ladies (even some of the best ones) are mostly hypocrites unwilling to take responsibility for your own actions, eager to blame men, the society, their parents, nature... Anything, as long as it is not their own fault. Very toxic behaviour.

LilMissFavvy:
She must have married at 18 or 19. As a guy can you marry at 21? Times have changed, women are supposed to chose whom they want to marry at the age they desire. Highest parents can do is to advice and pray for them, not to force or threaten. But I can't possibly expect a pudding-headed sun-of-a-gun like you to understand this.

guys do not have the luxury of going into marriage while broke and jobless so they usually can't marry at 21. In our part of the world, the only expectation for a lady before marriage is that she should know how to do house chores.

In any case, how is getting married early a good reason to try to kill her husband?

koyyess:
I repeat, where was it written she got married at 18?

You say she should be held accountable for her actions. Do you know if her so called marriage to the man was an action made solely by her?

Are all 18 year olds mature enough for marriage and parenting?

Use your head.

not sure I get your point... So let's say she was even forced to marry him before she turned 18, and did all what she did with other men because she was immature... How does that justify her trying to murder her husband at 21?

If she was male, would you bring that crappy excuse?

Why does it look like her feet are touching the floor? You can't successfully hang yourself if your feet can touch the floor.

Perhaps someone did this to her?

joseph1832:
Whether it was consensual or not, if Busola was 17 years old at the time, Biodun Fatoyinbo raped her, statutory rape that is.

thank you!

koyyess:
Where did you read that she got married at 18 or 19?

Even if individuals are considered adults at 18 years, does that make each and every 18 year old female mature enough or ready for the rigors that comes with marriage and parenting?

Besides, this is his side of his story which you obviously believe which means you are the one being subjective here.

What are you saying?

Use your head for once before I start insulting the living day light out of you.

an 18 year old is an adult anywhere in the world and they are held fully accountable for their actions, unless they have proven mental disability.

Is immaturity an excuse for crime for an adult? Is being female a mental disability?

I wonder the day you ladies would start being accountable for your own mess up. You blame everyone and everything else but yourselves.

After reading both sides of the story, I totally believe this man's story. I had my reservations while the wife's story was being peddled as facts with people saying it serves the husband right.

All of you that swallowed the lady's tale, you see yourself now?

Realfrankie:
CR7 remain the best

...in Portugal when Bernando Silva is not in the team.

Beverlyjean:
Weda maradona win it or not, comparing them is like from Massachusetts to Nevada or Los Angeles...

U are nothing but a bloody Nigerian.... Argentines grade Mario Kempes and batistuta ahead of him .... Tevez won Olympic gold b4 him... So they don't even need it... Abeg go and park... Only a deluded maniac will compare the two... Now it's certain that u Messi fans are deluded and that y u all say he is better than Ronaldo, imagine the sick heads

all this nonsense you wrote doesn't matter. You lied, like you guys always do. You lied that Maradona won 2 Copa America trophies in 3 tries when he didn't win any. Nothing else you say on this issue matters since they are likely also lies.

It hurts you guys so much to realize that Messi would forever be a better footballer than Ronaldo that you guys would lace your arguments with half-truths and outright lies.

While I sympathize with you, I called you out on it because some gullible readers would read your post and think you have a point.

These lies (that exaggerate Ronaldo's achievements and undermine Messi's own) spread by fanboys and the media is the reason some think there is even a real rivalry. There isn't. Messi is far far far better than Ronaldo. Always have been, always will be.

Beverlyjean:
Stop saying what u don't know... Argentina won 91 and 93.…. U guys are so deluded that u wanna compare that one system player to maradona... U guys are sick mentally

oga, Maradona never won the Copa America. If you are ignorant, at least you don't have to be arrogant as well. Learn!

All this one na show jare. Messi has accused COMMEBOL of corruption and trying to favor Brazil to win the trophy, so the ref gave Brazil an undeserved red card when they were comfortably ahead just to make the claim seem untrue. Gabriel happened to be the scapegoat.

Beverlyjean:
Messi is a failure...let it get to ur head... He is a confirmed failure for Argentina... Someone that can't win Copa in 5 attempts... U wanna use him to compare maradona that won 2copas in 3 attempts.. and a world cup in 3 attempts and getting to the final back to back ... U Messi fans are deluded I swear.... Someone that carried a dead Napoli from bottom to top... If maradona was present now ... Hu is Messi?? Always looking for Hu to blame for his failures... It took Ronaldo 4attempts to win a more difficult European cup compared to Copa America...

the problem with you Ronaldo fan boys is that you guys lie too much, deliberately twisting facts just in an attempt to make anyone seem better than Messi, especially Ronaldo.

Cure your ignorance, Maradona NEVER won the Copa America. The best Argentina got in his time was third place in 3 tries. They even finished last in their group one time.

Useless clickbait titles

Beverlyjean:
I still don't agree with you cos the balon d'Or supercedes it ...

why are you arguing like someone who knows nothing about football? Ballon d'Or is an award by a french magazine for a period spanning a year. Not only is it a glorified award for champion's league these days, it does not even tell who the better person in international colors is.

Facts remain that you guys have been pushing anti-Messi propaganda. It is actually Ronaldo who has been subpar in international colors. He has never been recognized as the best player in any international tournament, despite taking all the glory afterward for any success.

If you are the best in an international tournament you win the Golden ball. If your team is the best, they win the trophy. Portugal won two trophies because Eder and Guedes scored in the final when the team needed a win.

Messi is usually brilliant in an Argentina jersey. His numerous personal accolades in international football speak for him, but you trolls want to judge the individual based on a collective award and write off the awards that really tell who the better player is.

Beverlyjean:
No one remembers loosers , only winners... Reaching the final is bullsh.it... winning it is the Koko... Hu cares about loosing finalists ??

yeah, you have amnesia so you don't remember what you always use to troll Messi. Evidently you care. Oga tell me something else.

Reaching the final isn't bullshit. The team that loses in the final is better than the one that didn't even get there. That's a silver medal for international competitions.

Anyone with at least two braincells would know that you need to reach the final to win it. Every team that competes in a tournament first strives to reach the final first, before trying to win the trophy.

Beverlyjean:
While Ronaldo is ahead of Messi when it comes to national trophies... Anyone will take the thophy ahead of any nonsense ball... Balon d'Or is the Koko

oga they are both important.

The trophy is a team achievement and is an award for being the 'best' team. The golden ball is an award for being the best player. It's that individual award that is testament to the fact that a player did better than anyone else in the tournament.

A player like Pedro has won every major trophy you can think of, yet no one places him on the same pedestal as Messi or Ronaldo that have not won the world cup with their teams. That's because when it ultimately comes to deciding who is a better player, team awards aren't nearly as important as individual awards.

Ronaldo has never been rated the best player in any international tournament he has featured in, and he has played in about 9 of them (4 world cups, 4 Euros, 1 confederations cup). That's minus the friendly Euro Nations Cup.

If trophies are all that matter, Pedro is a greater player than Cristiano.

Beverlyjean:
What did he achieve with his previous role??

what!!! Are you serious? In Copa America 2016 he scored 5 goals and made 4 assists to help his team reach the final. He also had the most MOTM performances as usual.

If you are talking awards (team and individual), U20 world cup trophy, FIFA Olympic Gold, helped his team reach 4 major international finals. Has been awarded player of the tournament (Golden Ball) at least once in all the tournaments he has ever featured in (including the World Cup).

Software Programmers are not web designers, they don't have any social life..

If you know you know..

you know nothing jare. What social life do you have that a software engineer cannot have?

Many women body can pepper them. Always unnecessarily aggressive and looking to pick a fight. If the victim's husband had beaten her up, she'd start playing in the victim card.
