They don't know that the child of say an Atiku, El-Rufai or any other big man in the opposition would get appointments before APC e-rats

Atiku's daughter was one of those Nepo kids CBN secretly recruited under Buhari's government na. While APC supporters were taunting Atiku online over the loss of election, his daughter was getting a juicy employment under APC government.

APC Ronu meltdown on Twitter has just been funny to follow..

The crashout has been funny to read since yesterday. Apparently, most of them were doing what they are doing for gratification.


I wager myself that either you or prospa will be the one to bring the news here


I just wonder why they didn't complain like this when Daniel Bwala or that Olusegun guy got appointments despite being vocal critics of Tinubu in the past.

GloriousGbola:
thats why the best is for you order by yourself

nigerian greed is off the charts

i wanted to buy a high end caso scintific calclatoir

nigeriasn are selling it 70k

but on amazon it is $20

so that is 30k in naira

how we get an over 200% increase - God only knows

the next level calculator - cost was 30k to 23k. i found someone selling for 17500 and bought. thought i had gotten a good deal. only to find old stock in my expensive pharmacy at 10k .

i bought two pairs of crocs one for me, one for my son. one of the crocs had been glued and the glue failed almosy immediately i started wearing it. it was first making my skin it- so i put it in a tub of soapy water. next thing i was wearing it and the sole basically came off.

If you need the stuff urgently like a car spare parts I don't think you can wait for the time it will take the between when you made the order and when it will arrive in Nigeria except you will use DHL which will make your order even more expensive.

GloriousGbola:
actually they are unfortunately right - because unless you are ordering your originals direct from yankee or uk - what passes for original in nigeria is a 3rd grade chinese clone meant for emergency rather than heavy duty use

once you get technical knowledge in any field you will be seeing this for yourself. EG someone will sell you chinko ssd that can fail at anytime for price of brand new SSD. any purchase in naija na prayer.

Now the problem is the Tokunbo still ends up wearing out like they said the Chinese would.

Those people would just say anything to get the money out of you.

iamoyindamola:
They overcharge you and you pay, they see you as capable
They bait you with family issues once you drop you will always deliver for them be that

It's hard to know they overcharge you until much later na. There's no how you will know the right price for parts exact you are into that line of work.

Even if you study let's say engineering in school and challenge them about the prices, they will come up with stories of some parts being Chinese, som Japanese and even some German.

Na naija rlartisan go dey boldly tell you say Tokunbo.better pass original

Once they come up with that family financial issues, me I dey zone out ni o. I can't be paying you well for your service and still be doing caharity for your financial needs. My own employers too no dey give me money wey I no dey work for.

KingTom:
Funny you should mention this, I hate it so much. Martial my auto electrician charged me 110k to rectify 'speed sensor and throttle sensor' a little accidental digging led to me discovering that those sensors cost 12k each infact the speed sensor could be haggled for 11k. Fast forward to Sunday last week he called me and without mincing words 'Oga abeg show your boy love even if na 20k, hunger wan finish your boy abeg, make I no die say I no get men' for my mind I just talk say see mumu if I asked for 20k reduction on his 110k loot e for give me?

That's the annoying part; they will overcharge you spare for parts they buy. If you find out later and confront them, they will claim the cheaper ones are substandard and the ones they used are original hence why it's expensive.

Yet any small financial issue they have na that same person they extorted with straight face they will call excepting him to be their savior.

I saw this on people's status, don't know if they mean it or not.

Last month the bridge was blocked one afternoon like that by people whose houses were demolished by the state government.

Emaprince:
They do it a lot and its irritating.

It's annoying honestly. Once they start moving that way, I cut them off ni. Some of them would even be blackmailing you emotionally as if you owe them and you must do for them because they asked.

Why is it that artisans just feel they can call you (their customer) asking for financial assistance just like that?

Like they don't understand the fact that for one to be patronizing them out of hundreds or thousands of fellow artisans in the same city is enough favor. I call you for a job, pay you for whatever fee you charge and may even lose some money to you through inflated material costs they procured.

Why will you then feel I should be the one you will call when you run into financial issues? Who says I don't have my own financial responsibilities I've not finished dealing with? 🤷‍♂️

Dry cleaner will call you to borrow money to complete his shop rent, mechanic will call to borrow money to add to house rent, generator repairer will say he needs money to complete his child's school fees in a private school, etc 🤦‍♂️

Mbappe no play the PK well. Hope it won't come to bite them in the asss Sha

Madrid makes if 2-1.

Dem no come play today o

Unlimited22:
And it will be well deserved.

3 goals conceded by game week 9 is no mean feat.

Yes o. Aside from the fact that he plays behind a very solid defence, he is also a fantastic shot stopper who makes impossible saves look normal.

David Raya will collect another golden glove this season as thing dey go 😎

Emaprince:
Dayo wey dey USA dey enjoy good governance dey talk about things getting cheaper here.

Beacuse a lot of people have chosen to cry in private, but go against any one speaking ill of the govt in public, as though things are better, does not make it true.

Na why I ask him and the person that said "things are getting cheaper" to mention the name of those things" and let us confirm when we sef enter market.

Every end of month I drive my wife to the market where she buys foodstuff and groceries in bulk to stock the house.

So make dem tell us the things wey the price Don go down so we go verify in real time, no be "dem say dem say".

iamoyindamola:
Emaprince was right
Elder will just drop topics and be looking for who to engage him in baseless arguments

He's 100% right.

Ibime:
I so like this Tyrick Mitchell, man does not care about material things or appearance

Since he started playing football till today, I have never seen him with shape up on his hair, infact he always cuts the same No1 cut since his debut

Another of the Christian brothers at Palace

Maybe na Lords Chosen Church he dey go for UK

Eze is a boy! 😎

raumdeuter:
So when will you guys give kudos and mention Tinubu when things are getting cheaper abi na only when things get expensive that you remember Tinubu

Na people wey dey claim "things are getting cheaper" know where they are buying it.

When price for bag of rice dropped we mentioned it here with evidence.

The people claiming things are getting cheaper should mention what the "things" are and show evidence. Or better still, the supporters of government should have boldly mention those things that are getting cheaper and we will enter market to confirm the genuineness of such claim.

For all I know, transport fare has not dropped because PMS price was jacked up few weeks ago ; and so is the price of so many things that have direct connection with cost of transport.

TemporaryHansel:
They did something in kebbi na. Have you seen the one in Delta state? Same $1.2m. they just cleared the site, they didn't put any single structure.



Yeah @bolded.

Nigeria na crime scene

TemporaryHansel:
I think $300k or less should easily build the mini stadium in the pic you uploaded. The thing missing from that one NFF built is the stands.

I saw some posts from administrators at NFF claiming they did some underground stuff and other installations that were very expensive hence why the project didn't go further, that's why I was previously defending them. Believing any agency in this country is always risky.

The fact is NFF is a corrupt entity like most Nigerian government agancy. There's no way $1.2m judiciously spent will give you that Kebbi stadium. picture they uploaded. Funny thing is labor is very cheap in a state like Kebbi. If they spent half of the budget, we should be seeing picture of a mini stadium better than Lagos Campos Mini stadium.

How much dem buy astro turf? How much dem buy the paint used to draw lines on the pitch and how much dem use buy goal posts & the few seats on the stand?

It's good you have now realized defending a Nigerian government agency is risky and exposes you to ridicule when facts are unveiled

Tosin Adara-bi-Lover boy engaging in office romance 😆.

Fadedvoiced:
I asked a straightforward question; does $1.2M build modern stadiums in the FIFA president’s home country? Instead of answering, you spun it into a sermon about how they don’t beg for grants( implying Nigeria does.)
I showed you proof they also get such funds , and now you’ve changed the subject again.

You jump into every discussion just to get emotional halfway through, like a kid putting on a show for sweets.

Well, goodnight. I'm really tired.

You know nothing bro.

Nobody uses $1.2 million to build a standard stadium like the one you see in European countries and even standard national stadiums of Africa.

I had to lecture you first that the program under which the funds were disbursed is designed for the growth of local talents and grassroot football.

That means if u are using the funds for infrastrure they are expecting you to build a mini stadium like campos mini stadium on Lagos Island (see attached Pix). Nobody is expecting u to build old Trafford or Emirates stadium with $1.2m like you ignorantly assumed when you were asking if it's $1.2m they use to build stadiums in Italy.

Our football Administrators messed up by presenting that crappy field they call stadium in Kebbi as evidence of what $1.2m can build In Nigeria. You also messed up by accusing FIFA of real easing paltry sum when you obviously had no idea about how the money came to being released and the use for which funds is meant for.

TemporaryHansel:
You just shot yourself in the foot.

You are olodo proper; the type that will carry expo and still fail because of your inability to apply the expo on you to the case study questions asked in the exam hall.

I asked if the FIFA president's country wait for grant from FIFA to build stadium? Instead of you to just swallow Ur L and move on, you went about asking Ai if Italy ( the FIFA president's country) gets funding from FIFA under the forward Program.

Of course they get funding under the FIFA forward program like most countries but they don't channel theirs on building stadiums like we do in underdeveloped countries like Nigeria.

Why? Because they have enough stadiums already built in their country without having to wait for handouts from FIFA for that purpose. Rather, they channel funds received under the FIFA forward program to aspects of developing local talents other than building infrastructure. But you wouldn't know that because you are busy looking for a "gotcha" point.

Instead of grudgingly acknowledging the fact that you messed up initially for blaming FIFA's generosity instead of our failed football administrators, you are here chatting megefegede.

Abeg go find somewhere sleep elder

afrodoc2:
Atiku should beg elder to stop repping his set.

Nobody has de-marketed his principal on this thread more than the guy.

He just dey carry talk anyhow

TemporaryHansel:
Is it $1.2m they used to build the stadiums in the country the fifa president is from?

Who told you people from that country wait for handout from FIFA before they build stadiums?

Maybe you don't know that the $1.2m grant is a privilege and not a right. It is designed to develop grassroots football through by way of providing support for infrastrural development.

Instead of being vexed that our football administrators shortchanged their own people by presenting a shoddy job, you are here blaming FIFA our benefactor 🤦‍♂️

TemporaryHansel:
https://www.nairaland.com/8547363/checkout-1.2m-stadium-built-nff

$1.2m isn't enough to build a quality stadium. The nff doesn't have any fault in this. If anything, fifa should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such paltry sum for the building of a modern stadium.

So you are saying if someone gives you $1.2m( Approximately ₦1.8billion) to build a mini stadium this is what you will deliver, right?

Bunsenbun:
He only made that decision cause Tosin was covering his path to goal. Had Chalobah had the forethought to apply pressure from the other side , he would be forced to make an attempt at goal. That's not hold up play genius when you had very little pressure on you, in a situation where it should have not been so.

You are the one that introduce the word genius, I never called him a hold up play genius. I said his hold up play was 🔥. One hold up play can be good without being a genius.

A good hold up play is what he displyed in that match. Simple.

You can Para for your defenders for their sloppiness but it doesn't stop me from appreciating the attacker's hold up play instinct.

andrewbaba44:
He doesn’t know sunderland got a surprise for him 😂

😂😂😂

They refuse to take half bread, now they don't have half bread, they don't have puff puff and not even ororo of puff puff touch their mouth.

Nemesis0147:
So these guys want to draw sunderland at home?
Nawa

AirBere:
Imagine drawing fccckin Sunderland at home because we couldn't outscore or keep a clean sheet.

As Una no dey appreciative say Una no want draw, na so Sunderland kukuma withdraw the offer paste Una wetin no good.

Kilishihunter:
Brobbey has good strength and link up play na the scoring wey he no sabi

He really worried the kpefuele defenders Chelsea are parading Sha.

That number 9 hold up play is 🔥
