It was an old anthem so is it actually a replacement?

But no matter how u look at it, sense no dey wetin Tinubu did with the national anthem.

How can he replace a "localized "national anthem with "Nigeria we hail thee" that was composed by a Briton and handed over to us by our colonial masters in 1960?

And he did all that by executive fiat, he didn't even care about public opinion being against it.

MSGAMBLE9:
If he can stop City for us then no problem...

Our destiny is in our hands bro, we don't need to rely on Iraola to win the league.

Let's just win Burnley 3-0 and beat palace 2-0 and we will party like its '99.

izzou:
That Anthem will die with Tinubu, I can assure you.

The person wey go win in 2031, whether APC, go change am.

Normally Tinubu dey craze for changing the national anthem. It makes absolute no sense at all.

Nwanne, he is getting canceled because he has been woeful. Desmond has nothing to show for the 3 terms he has represented Surulere and that makes it quite easy to cancel if that is the term of convenience.

State Representatives from Ikeja (Faleke) Jim Ikorodu (Benson), Badagry, Alimosho, Lagos Island brought State and Federal impact to their respective constituencies. They had more engagements with their constituents. These guys attracted more presence and spotlight to their constituencies. Desmond doesn’t rank top 10 performers in the Lagos State Assembly. So on what basis should Desmond return?

This isn’t even close to the A. Ambode where everyone wailed and wished he came back because of the landmark development witnessed, particularly in mainland. Lagos politics, especially under APC is extremely competitive right now, if you make it easy for them, dem go delete you because there are so many young bright minds in the pipeline..

He is a tough and impossible sell to the people of Surulere. There is a reason is out begging for forgiveness. He had enough time and the resources to make a good impact but failed. Make e go rest. If he manages the situation well, he would get a position that would keep him going. If he doesn’t manage it well, he can return to Nollywood.

You are mixing things up here bro. All those Faleke, Jimi Benson, etc are federal lawmakers while Desmond is a state lawmaker. Whatever federal project those guys attracted to their constituency, Gbaja attracted multiples of it to Surulere while he was a federal lawmaker.

The truth is the bar is set really low for stet house of aseembly members. Most of them do the barest minimum, not just Desmond in Surulere but others in diffrent constituencies in the state.

Most state of assembly members focus on sharing exercise books with their face printed on it to primary and secondary school pupils, providing daily school bus services to public school students in their constituency, employ road sweepers to complement LAWMA, buy refuse collection trucks, etc. They don't even have a serious hold on what project the state government does and whether they bring it to their constituency. It's obmy when the state government starts the project they will quickly posituon themselves as if they influenced the project. I know quite a handful of them and I know dem no really dey try.

Desmond is definitely not the worst amongst the state house of assembly members, he just get him own issues with his party ni.

izzou:
How bad did Desmond perform, compared to others?

Him getting cancelled is because of the powers within his political party, and not really about performance.

Abi, how many HoR in Lagos do we know that performed well?

His party people have cancelled him. My own anger is why he is trying to force himself on them and everyone.

If people no accept you, do another thing. Go lobby for SA or Commissioner from HamZat, or one Ministry

Crying like a baby is just irritating me

True. APC is axing Desmond because of the role he played in that Obasa coup that failed. What Gbaja told the party stakeholders in surulere yesterday was enough evidence of this.

It's common knowledge he really didn't perform but so did most of the state house of assembly members.

Unfortunately for Desmond he's not popular on social media, he's not popular within his own constituency and there's already resentment towards him about going the 4th time.

Personally I don't pity him because that's always been how their party is. Baba sope can allow u go for 5 tenures while baba sope will order somebody else not to even consider buying nomination form for 2nd term. It is what it is. He cannot start fighting a system that used to benefit him.

GloriousGbola:
You are missing my point. Will you BlueRayDick if you have a matter like this put it on sm? So that for the next two years if anyone Googles your name this is what they will see?

Paul odekina is the ex Husband of that woman freeze was knacking. Google the guys name and that is what you will see. The man was or is head of hr in total port Harcourt. If he had wanted to move to another job this is the first thing that would have come up in a search and would have been enough to scatter his chances in a competitive recruitment.

By lawyers with agenda coming into this anything he exaggerated or misrepresented can be used against him. And because he is in the UK it can boomerang on him there.

The cyber bullying on its own is enough to get him in serious trouble

The fact that I won't put my private affairs on social media does not mean someone else would not put their own affairs on social media. Different stroke for different folks.

Nothing will boomerang jàre. He has already filed for divorce on the grounds of infidelity and the divorce proceedings had already been concluded.

The lady is only trying to save face with ghe cyberbullying allegations. The guy most likely has evidence of her infidelity which he can always use to make case against her.

The guy won't lose any career opportunity once his name is cleared at the end of whatever frivolous lawsuit the lady comes up with. The UK doctor ghat was accused of r.ape back then still practices till date simply because his name was cleared after proper investigation. The guy has nothing to fear once his revelations about the lady checks out.

GloriousGbola:
The reason the story did not make sense to me is that it is very very very foolish for a person who is not in the entertainment industry to be putting his messy family business online.

Divorce the woman and move on. Now people who want to do business with you Google you and this is the mess they see.

In addition he has now brought in feminist army backup who will want to avenge their sister. If he has misrepresented any of the facts or lied it can get very very messy. The lawyers representing the ex wife are based in ikoyi, not somolu. Rich chicks with an axe to grind.

I don't think she has any serious case.

If the guy has all evidence that proves she cheated while they were still married as he alleged, then she won't really get anything out of the lawsuit. It doesn't matter whether na Deji Adeyanju be her lawyer or Femi Falana. She may just be coming up with this lawsuit to save face for all we know.

Well, I really don't know why the guy chose to cast everything on social media. Maybe that's his own way of healing or maybe he just wanted to get back at her for the emotional trauma she caused him. The guy doesn't seem like one who is bothered by the opinion of the feminazi coalition; I think he cares more about red pillers calling him mugu sef.

That Ugo cheating Ex-wife get mind sha. After cheating and getting divorced, she is suing her ex-husband for N500m for cyberbullying because he casted her online.

I was Just discussing with someone this morning about how ABU still offer courses like Acheology.

Obviously, there is a gap in mentorship for naija teenagers and thats where people like Eric Gugua comes in.

Probably, if this guy had the right mentorship, he would have made better choices to guide his survival in the labor market.

I don't even think something like this requires much of mentorship. I believe he was already an adult by the time he had his first degree, so it should not be a big deal for him to scan his environment to know pursuing his passion of PhD in International Relations is not going to fill his belly anytime soon.

I'm sure the guy was not blind seeing some of his boys former course mates veer into various career paths away from their field just to make a living themselves. He must be really strong headed to keep pursuing PhD knowing he has not academic job waiting for him anywhere.

My former boss' son graduated with 2'1 in political science in his early 20's. I recently spoke with his dad asking what the boy does and he told me he's into tech. He asked his dad to buy him a high-performance computer in in final year to begin coding. Now the boy is fully into coding . That boy didn't even have any mentor that told him to go into tech, he was just aware of his environment well enough to know tech is the way to go.

A CEO at Gold Man- Sachs having achieved alot from his banking career, is now pursuing his passion of beign a DJ

He goes by the name DJ D-Sol.

Na so now.

raumdeuter:
I agree with everything you said and I had the same opinion yesterday when I saw it but if you say it some will say its because you are not sensitiv and you want him to suffer, or wicked abroadian things

The key question is what was his plan going for all these degrees? He has shoe horned himself into lecturing or civil service

I have younger cousins who finished with a degree in Psychology, after I told him to go to New Horizon and learn CCNA that was how he found his new love in Tech into the Fintech and Banking world in Nigeria

Also someone who graduated with Geography and told him just go write ACCA thats how he entered Accounting chartered got into Big 4, and Audit in Financial insitution

Even abroad, with all the degrees in Political science and some fields, is either you end in govt or do customer service

There was a girl who used to be my friend long time ago, after her Bachelors, I met her when she was going for a Masters in Criminal Justice. She would have applied for student loans with interest. I kind of dropped a hint that why don't you just do Project Management, She said something like passion for criminal justice, I now said wont it be better to just take LSAT and go to Law school so you can fight criminal injustice, It became a small argument about wanting to dictate her life choices, that was 17yrs ago, we lost cnnection, when I checked on her like 6yrs ago, I saw that after the masters she worked customer service, worked hairdressing salon and now she is working airport security

You need to read the job environment, I personally dont believe in courses for passion, I believe in courses that give a pathway to meaningful earning. When you have earned then use the money to chase your passion

My passion is watching football and insulting Arsenal but it doesnt pay the bills. I did Engineering, the small money I got, I used it to pay for people to curse Arsenal an it ended that these were fake prophets,

I believe in going after the money first , then follow your passion later. Whatever path will make you money follow it first , once you start earning you have all the time in the world to decide whether you still want to follow that passion or not.

For example I know a man who studied pharmacy at OAU in the 80's. He became a pharmacist, worked as medical supplier for some foreign companies and later owned his own pharmaceutical company. I think in the mid 2000's he decided to follow his passion of studying law. He studied law at the university and spent an extra year in law school and was called to the bar.

That man first pursued a career that made him enough money and time to afford him pursue his passion much later. I like that school of thought. I am never against following passion, but don't pursue ur passion while your belly is empty.

hensben:
This guy should just retire. A 41 year old crying on tv on almost every match day is absurd. 5 touches in 85 minutes he played, zero in every other stats yet his fan want us to believe his team mates let him down. SMH

U dey always dey on Wasiu Case; u no dey even give am breathing space at all.

GloriousGbola:
Like you implied Some people don't know how to hustle for jobs so they go back to school. Unfortunately without work experience a masters degree will only help if you are a nepo baby.

That's what most people like him don't know, having so many degrees without work experience will always make potential employers look at you as unemployable.

If I was in his shoes, I would've long done unpaid internship along the line instead of going for PhD the time he did. With the work experience during the unpaid internship, he can network and meet different people who may later refer him for something better than what he's doing .

I guess he doesn't really think that way.

I would definitely vote Mikel Arteta because of consistency; how he's guided this team from second position for the past 3 seasons to almost certainly clinching the trophy this year. But if I'm to vote for any other manager I would go for Iraola, I really liked what he's done with Bournemouth this season.

There's a guy on TikTok carrying a banner to hawk his credentials on the street of Abuja in a bid to get a job.. He's on day 2 now.

His name - Ayomide Alokun, age - 27.

His credentials:

BSc Political Science
MSc Political Science
PhD international Relations

Nigeria na one kain country sha.

Person read book reach PhD level, and go still dey unemployed. God abeg o.

Methinks the guy doesn't really know what he wants to do with his own life. What was originally his plan for him to have obtained M.Sc in political science and PhD in International relations?

To me, the guy seems like all these people that believe if you are done with your degree and you couldn't get a job after a year or two, the next step is to do your masters. If after Masters you still can't get a job, jump to PhD. Now after completing PhD and yet to get a job he decided to raise an alarm.

It seems like he wasn't really doing much of networking while he was acquiring higher degree here and there. With his PhD in a field like international relations/political science, I wonder the type of job he expects to get other than lecturing jobs. And to get the lecturing job sef, he ought to have started networking long before he completed his PhD. He should've had alignment with some of his professors about Graduate Assistant roles/Assistant lecturer jobs.

I may be judging him wrong o, but to me he actually ought to have done better for himself. To think he even did his Masters and PhD in private universities sef. Something tells me he's not really looking for job per se, maybe he's sacrificing himself for a social experiment sha.

I just want the way we played Westham repeat ve Burnley.


Brush 4 past these guys for all i care. Infact since Dowman can get key fouls, he should play too. That ease with which the hammer entered our box should be the last of the season, i no wan hear any excuse come weekend.

City are chasing well. Let's get ahead weller. Infact i no wan rely on Bournemouth or Villa again sef. Let's just get 6points abeg.

Exactly. We get our 6 points and clinch the title without having to rely on any of these useless teams doing us a favor ; that's all we need to do.

Shebi na wetin I dey talk be this? Once the other side has guns, the attackers suddenly know how to sue for peace, remember human rights, and know how to discuss, but when its one side that has the monopoly of violence, that time they will be deaf

I can tell you if the middle belt guys have the same type of weapons the Fulanis have, they wont be doing anyhow. If Plateau, Benue people also have guns to match them, then you will realiz that the killer bandits are actually "peace loving but mis understood people"

People that said "werrey la fin wo werrey" were not mad. Its madness that cures madness

It's the bias enforcement of laws that is responsible for all these Sha....If law enforcement was fair, there wouldn't be need for everybody clamoring for guns here and there

https://www.nairaland.com/8670880/fulani-group-tackles-gov-mutfwang

I'm always amazed the way these diffrent Fulani guys always find their voice the moment people affected by their criminal activities want to either retaliate or bring them to book.

The Plateau state governor orders security agents to shoot at sight any herdsmen caught destroying people's farm with their cattle.

Suddenly a certain Fulani group finds its voice asking the governor to rescind the order claiming it will lead to breakdown of law and order. So they are invariably saying they should be allowed to continue destroying people's means of livelihood without any serous consequence?
If they are sure they are not guilty of destroying people's means of livelihood, why should they be bothered about being shot at by security agents?

MSGAMBLE9:
we will be defending for most of the game... For me ooo, I wouldn't want to see White Vs Kvicha rather

If we defend for most of the game, that is a recipe for loss.

We need to attack them too and not defend all through. There's no guarantee we would win on PK sef if we force them to a draw after 120 minutes.

MSGAMBLE9:
Zubi is having his struggles now and I remember Rice struggles earlier when the season starts too...

Wharton would be great if he can stay fit... Tonali fit the bill honestly

I think people are over flogging the Zubi issue. He's clearly fatigued going by the number of minutes he's played this season.

We've already seen Zubi is a very good player in the first half of the season. I believe when he gets deserved rest he will be back at his premium best next season.

That being said, there's nothing wrong in getting another midfielder who would be on standby with the exit possible of Noorgard imminent.

GloriousGbola:
th problem is once the one suing you has money it doesn't matter

you still have to hire a lawyer to fight it in court

this is REAL real world bullying not cyber bullying

Well, she has lawyers standing for her pro bono.

Moreover if the person suing u has money but loses eventually because they couldn't establish a case , you can pray the court to have that person clear ur legal expenses.

iamoyindamola:
Bros everyone can come out to make videos, it's on till bring evidence story will change.
Now I see why the tomato paste shouldn't accept any apology from the woman

The Tomato paste lady and this one are two different cases. That is why the BON bread owner is struggling to build a case against the customer.

Erisco sued the lady outrightly because his case has legs to stand on. Same cannot be said for BON bread who want to build a case on assumption.

iamoyindamola:
Why is she scared of handing over the bread then, she have lawyers that will stand as witness.
Let them test the bread for harmful substances it's not about sweating and doing videos

I don't even understand you.

She made a video to educate the public about a bread not going bad for months. An unreasonable business owner whose brand was not mentioned assumed it was her bread simply because while people were mentioning different brand names in her comment section, she liked the comment that suggested BON bread. In case you don't know, she liked other comments too.

But because the BON bread owner was unreasonable and has low EQ , she claimed it was her bread thereby accepting an allegation that wasn't directed at her. She gave herself bad PR with her actions that followed and it affected her brand so much that some people who never watched the initial video on TikTok read about it in national dailies and watched on national TV.

She played herself, now she's asking the lady to come and confirm whether it is her bread or not. Don't u know she has just opened an avenue for the lady to counter sue her? Can't u see where bad advisers have led her?

The fact that you think the woman is answerable to any yeye call of bringing a bread she never mentioned its name is even laughable. It's like you don't know that it is he who alleges that must prove?

If the BON bread owner has a case to start with, they won't be writing this new letter asking her to come and confirm whether it was their bread she was originally referring to. What they ought to have done initially, they are doing now. Just wait and see where the pendulum will swing

raumdeuter:
Bootleggers are usually ahead because you cant see their mind into what they are planning next, its just for you to be swift in clamping down on them

But it might come at a risk to their lives too. Personally, I dont fully know the science but a bread that doesnt decay in 2 months or grow mold, I no sure say it should be eaten

NAFDAC are the science guys who should have ready made answers on these matters.

It is NAFDAC that should come out to clear the air once and for all if it is normal for some bread to last months. At least they owe the public that citizen education.

They can do that without really siding with the food reviewer or the BON bread threatening to sue her. Nigeria is where regulators don't live up to their primary duties and we citizens almost always make excuses for them.

iamoyindamola:
Lol
This one no hold water, she knew because she sells bread
My point is she is not helping us just another attention seeker if not it's not hard to mention the brand and the ingredients instead of leading us on a goose chase

If she mentions any brand name they will tag it defamation and will have battling with lawsuit. She didn't mention brand name because she is enlightened and knows the brand can hide under the law to mess her up.

Being enlightened and knowing what to do doesn't make her an attention seeker.

iamoyindamola:
Thank you I
This particular woman didn't even mention one clue and she claim she looking out for us, i grew up knowing bromate is not good in bread and there are ways to detect bromate in bread
But this particular new ingredient that makes bread stay longer is surely not good for health and she can't even mention it , what's now the point of the whole videos
To catch cruise?

Is she NAFDAC or does she have a lab where she will test the bread and find out what is wrong in it for u?

She has a duty as a Nigerian to call ur attention to a growing trend which she believes might be harmful to ur health. She encourages u to watch out for that sign in ur own favorite bread like she did for hers.

It is now left for u to either take her advice of leave it. You decide to keep consuming ur favorite bread without any care for how long it takes to get bad. For example bokku bread takes less than a week to go bad ; those who buy it frequently have taken their time to observe this trend.

The woman is not chasing clout but calling people's attention to what she observed about the bread she consumes.

She kept on coming back to the media because BON bread is trying to silence her by police intimidation and frivolous lawsuit when they are not even sure she was explicitly referring to their brand in the video she made. Anybody in her shoes too would not keep quiet especially when you know you have not erred on the part of the law.

iamoyindamola:
There's actually nothing useful to work with in the information
For example we were just told what to avoid and how to detect early signs of kidney and liver damage
Easy peasy
She came out saying there are breads that can stay 2 months, how can we know the bread or the name or the ingredients we don't know
So the videos are for what exactly

The same way she found out some bread can stay 2 months without getting bad, u are also encouraged to subject ur favorite bread in area to that test. Keep ur favorite bread for that period of time and u will see what u have been consuming for years. It's that simple.

She can't help u to know the status of ur favorite bread u eat in ur own area.

raumdeuter:
Very appropriate when we were just discussing about harmful ingridients in everyday food

Na so we go dey use Omo cook ponmo give people chop and wonder why people fall sick inexplicably

NAFDAC and SON have a lot of work to do, but they will be risking their lives because of how many sellers believe its a legit way of making business

from fake drugs, to unsafe food processing

Regulators in Nigeria most times adopt reactive approach instead of proactive approach to regulations and consumer education.

What NAFDAC should've done was to release a statement clarifying if it was safe to eat bread that don't go bad within a week or two. Up till now, I doubt they've done anything like that.

If they do that, they can put to rest the debate of whether a particular bread was good for consumption or not.

iamoyindamola:
Then why is the woman coming out every market days when she won't mention the bread name, if she wants to help she can mention the bread name and what is put there.
How's the information she gave going to help us because normally you and I can't have a bread for 2 months, we have a lot of problems in the country than to be following bread ingredients around because some of them won't write the real ingredients.
Make she get out Abeg, she's only farming the content for the gram jare, she has the proof then use it.

Somebody was arrested for a crime she didn't commit, and you say why is she coming out ?

She advised people to be watchful and observe what they consume ; she doesn't need to mention any brand name. It may not be only BON bread that has the issue, it can be any other brand in your own area.

She is only coming out because BON bread had her arrested after making a video that didn't have their name mentioned but the owner assumed it was her bread (Most likely because she knows she is as guilty as charged).

If you don't find her information useful, others do o. In fact, there had been other content creators that had made videos about other bread brands too.

But this Timber injury just get as e be o. Now that White is out for the rest of the season it just feels like we could use a Timber early comeback from injury at least for the Champions league final.

It won't really be fair that we will be using a CB in Mosquera as RB in a champion's league final we've been hopeful to play in the past 20 years. I really do not fancy Mosquera in RB at all because all he does is defend and nothing else, I just wish we had a natural RB from the youth system that can play that position in Mosquera's place since Timber is unlikely to start. With Mosquera playing RB, it's obvious we will struggle to push attack through the right wing.
