I have achieved everything you can achieve in football - A statement Wasiu does not have the privilege to make at this moment. 2026 he goes again !

This life no balance at all.

Stake all your life savings on Netherlands to win it

You should know the author of the write-up and those helping him to spread it as well are either Gen Z’s or people who were not matured enough to know Özil won the 2014 World Cup with Germany as an Arsenal player starting all Germany’s 7 games at the tournament .

Leyqute:
Maybe he peaked at 18

Imagine that last chance he missed. Peak Messi and Ronaldo don’t miss those kind of chances given the importance of the game. That’s why I said he’s not anywhere near them at the moment.

He’s definitely nowhere them at all. As much as I like him, he’s been abysmal at this tournament .

[color=royalblue]Grazing reserves are lands set aside for grazing.

The link from Punch explained the process, right down to where the owners will be compensated.

So the summary of the law is that lands should be made available for grazing; and those lands should be gotten from a mutual agreement with the owners and compensation

So why can't a herdsmen approach a community and lease a land, if there are no grazing reserves?

Farmers lease lands for 20k per acre. Some interior places are like 6k. But a herdsman will rather walk through farmlands and destroy crops, rather than pay 50 kobo.

You can have hope in the Ministry, but dem and Niger Delta are two parallel lines. [/color]

The “why questions” u are asking is what the ministry is created to answer . I don’t have answer to those questions, I’m a southerner like u and I do not understand why a northerner who is a herdsmen cannot approach his fellow northerner or southerner (for those in the south ) to purchase land specifically for gracing his herd .

If this move fails to solve the problem like other Tinubu’s moves , then we can all add this to one of the failures of his government

Mbappe is finished at 25 ?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]These two scenarios are different, and i am very much surprised with how you really want an apple to look like an orange

Niger Delta agitations arose from issues of how they have been shortchanged compared to what they offer to Nigeria. How are you comparing this to herdsmen?

A herdsman is running a business, the same with someone selling pepper or rearing pigs. Or do they transfer their sales to the FAAC account?

Acquire lands, dem say no
Lease lands, dem say no

So the government should give them lands or give them permission to be walking and destroying people's land?

Which one go solve the problem now?[/color]

I’m not in any way trying to make apples become oranges.

While u are right that the herdsman is running a business same as the farmer; it is important to note that there are actually grazing reserve laws in this country. These laws were actually enacted to resolve herders-farmers crisis as far back as the 60’s ( No be today )

Please carefully go through the links below :

I believe creation of this ministry is just Tinubu’s way of finding a lasting solution to the farmer-herders crisis . Only time will tell if it is a step in the right direction or otherwise

The GOAT passed down the anointing on the young Yamal and it is manifesting before our eyes 😊

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The problem is that the herdsmen are not willing to invest 1 naira in the purchase of lands for their cattle

Livestock does not start and end with cows. Why will these guys hold everybody to ransom?

Someone is herding 50 cows. One cow is more averagely 1 million now, yet that person cannot lease 20k per acre for them. All he wants is to be walking about with them while they destroy crops.

If we like, we should create Cow Ministry. If they will not lease and constrain their cattle to a land, fight go dey well well[/color]

This was the same way people thought creating ministry of Niger Delta will not solve address the MEND menace in the Niger Delta . Overtime the relevant stakeholders have found a way to settle agitators and to an extent expatriates are drilling oil with low incident of kidnap in the creeks today.

From What I read , Tinubu set up a committee last year to resolve the farmers-herders crisis in Nigeria. The ministry was headed by Jega and one of their 21 point recommendations to resolve the crisis is the establishment of this ministry of livestock .

The fact that the rest of the country allowed for the creation of ministry of Niger Delta to solve the militancy issue in the Niger Delta, I am willing to give this livestock ministry benefit of doubt as well . Let’s see how it goes .

I believe Miyetta Allah actually has what it takes to control their members , they just want attention like the South South got theirs before they will help the government in reining their members in. This goes beyond buying land and rearing cows .

Wait mikano they produce food
I just tasted my daughter's M&B(go-go) I checked the back and I saw mikano foods

I just check am now; it’s true o. Seems they have their factory at Ifo, Ogun state . They are even into real estate sef .

Anyways dem be Lebanese , so it’s. It surprising they are into multiple businesses

Sportsweb:
When Ronaldo plays, he destabilize Portugal's team according to people

But same people still don't want him to play 2026 World Cup. Isn't that sure bottling for Portugal if he plays?

Why Una de cry?😂😂😂. Leave Emilokan to eliminate Portugal all by himself as una claim

We pray the god of banter inspire him to feature in the 2026 World Cup . We will be here to laugh at him when he gets dumped out by teams featuring Ethan Mbappe , Lamine Yamal and co 😂

Theflint1:
Na pole remain make dem give this man, baba dey twerk shamelessly, anything for the votes I guess

CrystalTiger:
Miyetti asked for it..

What's now the job of Min. Of Agriculture?

Personally I don’t support this move of creating yet another ministry especially when we have ministry of agriculture already in place .

But then again , if we look at the creation of Niger Delta and how it has stemmed the tide of militancy in the the south south; maybe we should give this creation of this ministry of livestock a chance .

Perhaps with the creation of this ministry the leaders of the Fulani herdsmen will have no further excuse than to call their marauding brothers to order .

We all know how MEND was blowing up pipelines and protesting neglect of the Niger Delta region despite the region being the goose that lays the golden egg of this nation . The creation of ministry of Niger Delta in a way brought a semblance of normalcy to the region after the amnesty program.

Let’s see if this livestock ministry will have similar effect on farmer-herders clash . At least miyetti Allah will not claim Fulani herders are being treated unfairly going forward .

At least for the sake of our food security

So sad he will cry tomorrow

I'm actually glad Saka did not play for Nigeria.

Jodera:
Are you serious?

Almost 100min/game and just one goal, him no score!?... Lmaoo.

You see that 2026 Wc, I will be there, cos that will be the grand comedy

Wasiu no wan rest .

In the France vs Portugal game , I saw a clip of Theo Hernandez doing a shoulder to shoulder run with him and eventually dispossessing him which ended with baba rolling on the floor hoping they will stop play for him 😂

Bernardo Silva who was pursuing the ball before saw him on the floor and just commot eyes like he’s tired of Broda Wasiu antics .

Imagine how 2026 World Cup go be .

Pastor Firminho

Jodera:
Perhaps, according to Cry-stiano fans, there is

Wetin be this?

Jodera:
Even his maradona that he normally use to shade Messi didn't score against Brazil in World cup/the qualifiers, Copa, Olympics, or confederations cup.

Nobody send such meaningless stats as long as you score against other big teams except if you're penaldo fans. I can imagine the effort obonujoker went through to look for such meaningless stats

U should tell him not to worry about the GOAT that already completed football almost 2 years ago.

Instead, he should worry about the other one that plays in the Camel league. He should Tell us how many open play goals he scored against "European power houses" like Turkiye, Czechia, Georgia and Slovenia

PS: Wasiu averaged 97 minutes per game at the ongoing Euro 2024 .

Raise am! . Raise am!!…Raise am!!!!

WhoDeyHause:
You guys are just looking for any little thing to console yourself. Don't you know this selling of spaghetti strands in wheel barrows have been there since the time of abacha, stop looking for anything to paint this government bad, they're trying their best despite being the poorest country in the world with small revenue and no loans from anybody, if you doubt me you can confirm for yourself from our nairaland Joseph Yobo.

That account most likely belongs to Reno or any other sycophant looking up to Tinubu for crumbs.

When I read this line "Besides, does the packed bags in the wheelbarrow not.look even bigger than small bags of branded supermarket Spaghetti? Olodo generation." , I know there was full madness in the person's kidney

CrystalTiger:
Why are you crying?..Don't you have a backyard where you live? We're now operating a full time subsistence economy..

There's even fuel scarcity as of this morning in Lagos. Fuel queue everywhere.

Infact, you can't buy a reasonable corn for 200 naira, even though na the season.

A paint of garri - 4k

Fuel - 740/ltr

Diesel - 1,150 to 1,270

I really would love to see people's reasons for voting in 2027[/color]

Just yesterday someone climbed a mast in Abuja threatening to kill himself due to the hardship and hunger in the land and people on social media were even laughing under the comment section .

Those same people return the people responsible for the hardship back to power . That’s the only reason why the supporters of the party are so confident .

🚶

A tuber of yam costs nothing less than 5k And humans with blood running through their veins are shouting Tinubu’s 2 terms is assured. SMH 🤦‍♂️

Yes, u read it right. A tuber of yam costs 1/6 of the monthly national minimum wage .

Nigerians are indeed a special breed. 🤷‍♂️

RealityKings:
This is just an idea that can b modified and improved on... Consider it as the raw format.

The idea will not work; the physicality of the sport does not allow for the game to be extended beyond 90 mins regular time and 30mins extra time in knockout competitions.

Why do u think they started giving water break in football? It is to ensure players get hydrated so u don't have players dropping on the pitch like log of wood.

RealityKings:
I was having a thought A standard soccer game is 90 minutes, split into two 45-minute periods either side of a 15-minute break.
In that 45 minutes, sometimes players are allowed a "water break ".
I was thinking, can't first half be made a combination of 30 minutes + 30 minutes?
For instance 1st half = 30mins + water break + 30mins (culminating to first half)

2nd half = 30mins + water break + 30mins (culminating to second half)

This will create more playing time with equal opportunities

I'm just thinking

So u want a football match to last 120mins of regular time? Then what happens if they are in a knockout competition which ends in a draw? Will they play another 30mins extra time?

If yes, then be ready to pick as many dead bodies as possible on the pitch.

The physicality of the game and the extended duration u are proposing will run a lot of players down to their early grave. Most players will even retire before they clock 28 years old.

NIGERIA is sinking deeper into another debt trap. This is after the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio recently crossed the 50 per cent threshold for the first time since 1991.

The Bola Tinubu administration inherited a debt-to-GDP ratio of 38 per cent. But fresh borrowings, securitisation of the Ways and Means advances, a failure to tackle fiscal challenges such as low crude output amid soaring government expenditure, and a sluggish GDP growth rate have pushed the ratio to 52.9 per cent. This is significantly above the prudential debt ceiling of 40 per cent prescribed by the International Monetary Fund for developing countries.

The current figures raise the question of debt sustainability in a country that has allocated 30 per cent of the 2024 budget to debt servicing.

The latest figures by the Debt Management Office show a public debt portfolio of N121 trillion comprised of a domestic debt of N65.6 trillion and a foreign debt portfolio of $42.1 billion or N56 trillion.

Nigeria’s finance managers have usually prided themselves on maintaining a relatively low debt-to-GDP ratio compared with its African peers. As of 2023, Ghana had a debt-to-GDP ratio of 84.9 per cent, South Africa 72.2 per cent, Kenya 70.1 per cent, and Egypt 95.8 per cent.

The rising debt-to-GDP ratio is bound to severely constrain Nigeria’s ability to expand the borrowing needed to fund the budget deficit. Huge increases in debt service obligations worsen this. Nigeria spent N7.8 trillion to service its debt obligations in 2023, a 121 per cent increase compared to N3.52 trillion in the previous year.

A PwC report projected that Nigeria’s debt service could rise from N8.25 trillion in 2024 to N9.3 trillion in 2025 and N11.1 trillion in 2026. This may affect the country’s debt servicing ability, credit rating outlook, and borrowing cost.

In 2005, Nigeria faced an unsustainable debt scenario, with a total revenue of around $9 billion and a debt portfolio of approximately $36 billion. The Olusegun Obasanjo administration made a historic deal with the Paris and London Club of Creditors that allowed Nigeria to buy back about $30 billion of its $32 billion external debts through a one-time cash payment of $12 billion.


Since that clean slate, the public debt has continued to rise progressively again. Under President Muhammadu Buhari, public debt rose from N12.6 trillion in 2015 to N97.3 trillion by 2023. Between December 2023 and March 2024 alone, public debt has increased by N24.3 trillion. The COVID-19 pandemic, a double recession, and lower oil revenues have been adduced as reasons for the borrowings.

Nigerians hardly have anything to show for the huge public debts.

Rail and road infrastructure remains in a poor state nationwide. Health and education facilities are in a shambles. Power is absent in a country where citizens provide the essentials for themselves.

The only seeming beneficiaries of the borrowing spree have been political officeholders and government employees whose lavish lifestyles are supported by the borrowed funds.

That Nigeria is sinking into another debt trap shows that the National Assembly is not living up to expectations. In its typical rubber stamp fashion, it has allowed a regime of fiscal irresponsibility by the executive. Parliament should monitor the country’s finances, promote accountability, and curb wastage. The Nigerian equivalent seems fixated on reckless spending on non-essential fancies like new presidential jets.

More prudence needs to be applied in managing financial resources. Fiscal leakages such as oil theft, contract inflation, outright looting, and ‘ghost workers’ must be stopped. The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun, must see this as a tipping point and draw up measures to ensure that the country’s debt profile is sustainable.

But other wives of leaders have done the same na.
Are they also comedians?

Don’t do this please !

The joke is in the caption of the video.

After they voted billions of Naira for feeding inside Aso rock , they now release a video of the First Lady captioned : See the Vegetables First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Cooks for President Bola Tinubu

It is funny walahi! 😂

Or this.

Of which it's not still enough seeing how the youths are still demanding his head

This is the same thing we ask for in Nigeria but some stupid people must defend government irrespective of whether they and their loved ones are affected .

The government has been responsive enough to know that it is foolhardy to keep the office of the First Lady and Second Lady with exorbitant budget while asking the people to keep funding lifestyle of politicians and their allies through increased taxation . This is commendable .

In Nigeria , when the government says we are poor and they can’t afford some subsidies for the common man, the same government will proceed to pay billions for bullet proof tyres for VIPs . Yet, stupid people will justify it .

If u read about Cipolla’s laws of stupidity , u will know that stupid people form the majority of the Nigerian population. According to Cipolla , stupid people are people who take decisions that cause losses to themselves and no benefits to the society.
