Roland17: The embolden reminds me of younger days in Naija. During Parish harvest/ bazaar, people make "pledges" and everybody go clap for them. 3 years later, half of the people wen make pledge never redeem their pledges. Na so Father and Harvest committee go dey pursue them to the point of cold visits to their homes.
Professional athletes, especially of today, should learn financial management 101, immediately they start earning. They are responsible for their financial outcomes now and in the future. I am sorry but there are more important national issues than ex-players who are broke. What should retired pensioners who are owed several months/ years of their benefit at different levels of government say?
As at 1999 Okocha and Taribo earned £1.24m as annual gross salary.
Truly these people have no reason to be calling out FG for financial support after retirement o
iamoyindamola: This one hard o Have you tried talking listening to heavy bass song with headset You can't even hear yourself to know if you are talking, making point or yapping
There's no easy job; It's all about perception.
Even footballers who play in a stadium where over 60k people are chanting, whistling and booing at the same time don't have a easy job.
It is no different from a juju or fuji musician singing on stage while having his manager shouting into his ear constantly telling him names of people he should praise while they are spraying money.
If you've watched live musicians do this over and over again u will respect their craft. They don't miss a beat, they maintain the rhythm and the next song they sing will carry the name mentioned into the muaician's ear.
Na their job wey dem Don master. The same way those pundits cannot do the job of doctors, accountants, lawyers, financial analysts, etc, na so those people sef no fit do their job
[quote author=iamoyindamola post=136551888]Blueraydick This is what I am saying, naira marley is not innocent, he's just paying for his crime
Few hours after Naira Marley came out to explain his side of the story, Mohbad’s phone conversation with Naira Marley’s Manager, Gabby, has surfaced where he explained what went down on the day he went to Naira Marley’s house— Omoh 🙆♀️💔
thing is naira marley keeps saying he didn't bully mohbad because there's no evidence of him assaulting the boy or ordering for him to be assaulted , but anybody with sense knows Naira Marley was guilty of bullying by association.
Like this leak now, mohbad and his boys were bullied in the presence of naira marley without naira marley putting a stop to it. You hear the boy saying he was telling naira marley "this should not be happening" but nothing was done by naira marley put an end to it.
Same thing with Sam Larry going after mohbad over and over again. Nothing was done by naira marley to put a stop to it till the boy's demise.
It is clear there's no evidence linking naira marley to Mohbad's demise, but naira marley's actions and inactions when mohbad was being bullied by naira marley's associates while alive is what haunted naira marley's music career.
If u ask me, I don't have any iota of pity for naira marley one bit. And I'm unapologetic about it.
Akinlot: There's something that bothers me about gamblers. How does a sensible person think that a bet company will pay the Nigerian government 52m naira for application and license, set up a website, buy very expensive softwares, pay the likes of betradar for odds, hire staff, pay criminal twitter influencers and pay for adverts just so they can dash you money.
In what world does this makes sense to a right thinking person?
Unfortunately, this government is looking for money wherever they can get it from. I don't see them taking a cue from India. Certainty not under Tinubu.
A typical gambler strongly believes he will be luckier than every other person who loses their own bet.
The major currency gamblers deal in is luck. And u know Luck defies reason/logic.
raumdeuter: The money no lost technically, it just transferred hands. I know there are strong arguments for and against it though
Yes the money is not lost technically, but some people will be left bankrupt when the funds is transfered from the gambler to the bookies.
What I don't know is if Nigeria can afford to ban the online bet companies. The fact that we have so many Nigerians living below poverty line makes it difficult for the government to just come out and ban gambling Sha.
raumdeuter: Let me clarify something. I didn't hear why the father was beating the child
Is there any reason for a father to beat the child this way? I mean are there some offence that could justify this type of beating? Stealing, Fighting teachers, truancy, joining gangs
In my opinion, no offence justifies on to beat his child in that manner. I don't even see the use of beating a child that is already 14,15 -16 years old.
The time minimal pain like spanking can Correct a child has passed.
Only criminals are beaten in such manner with intention of leaving bruises all over their body
GloriousGbola: don't agree with the violence but i can understand the frustration
social media is seriously fking with a lot of kids concentration and focus you go talk , lecture, warn tire.
two three years ago - one of our friends cut her daughter hair that she had been growing since childhood. the girl had discovered instagram and was doing thirst trap. i think she was 14 or 15, maybe younger. body maturing very fast
and most kids are on sm till the early hours of morning. some can self regulate - others not so much.
I don't have an issue with Ur friend cutting her teenage daughter's hair as a way to discipline her, but she also need to be more closer to her daughter. She should have a relationship with her daughter that would allow her educate the daughter on the danger of forming a thirst trap on IG.
I think parenting nowadays has gone beyond just Punishing the child like our parents approached parenting back then. If one is not careful, he or she will lose the child forever.
You see that guy in the video ; I can bet he hates his father already. The way the father beat him like a bandit will never never make him warm up to the man.
Does he even know whether the boy likes the courses he registered the boy for before he failed the exams? Who knows maybe he's one of the people who wants his son to be an engineer at all cost when all that one wants to do is be OAP or DJ?
raumdeuter: Does Nigeria as a country owe ex athletes after they have retired? There is another clip of Taribo West complaining how the FG and govt abandoned the family of Peter Rufai
1. Beyond paying you your entitlements when you are playing I do not see what else the govt should do for ex athletes
2. Are these athletes also holding their clubs they played for to these standards cos they likely played more minutes for club than country
3. Should everyone who represented or work for govt including civil servants also have this expectations of govt
Finally, Hope current athletes are taking notes. Osimehn, Boniface, Lookman, think f your future now and dont think/expect Ngerian govt to come to your aid
I believe the government doesn't owe any athlete apart from match bonus and whatever they promise them when they win a particular trophy like the $100k FG promised the falcons.
The truth is the number of athletes that will play for a country in the space of let's say 20 years will be so much. There's no how a government can cater for their individual needs after retirement even if the government wants to.
The athletes should learn to be fininacially responsible and disciplined so they can plan for life after retirement. No government is coming to save anybody.
Where I once lived, we had an ex international who bought a 3 bed room flat who still lives within his means, has cars at his disposal and had businesses that still fetch him money. He still sponsors local football tournament. Anybody who made it to national level should be able to live such modest life at least.
