Blueraydick I think they are using FIFA curriculum but I still feel it's the preliminary more like fifa101

Why go through Udemy when u can go through FIFA or CAF directly ?

iamoyindamola:
E fit better pass finidi george or post no clue
I might check it out if I get a discount sha

But those are real coaches who got CAF and UEFA licenses respectively. U can't coach a real club with Udemy course na

iamoyindamola:
Udemy now offer professional football coach courses
This make sense sha

So someone can finish Udemy coaching course and get employed as coach of 36 Lions FC Lagos ?

So I have a question.

Larride if you get answer, e go help.

The PIB has stopped subsidy and it is also not captured in the budget.

So where is the money for subsidy payment coming from?
BlueRayDick izzou Theflint1 Amigoss Ibime itsrm

Any idea

I honestly don't know o.

U know there's a lot of hide and seek going on with the subsidy removal/payment , but I won't put it past NNPC being the one sorting the subsidy payment in their own way.

[color=royalblue]Because from HOA to Commissioners and even LG chairmen are loyal to Wike. If you ask me, I can guess that he picked all of them.

But a whole Rufai is dragged by every single Kaduna lawmaker. Definitely, he isn't the finger that picked them[/color]

Well, u have a point with the HOA members and LG chairmen that were handpicked by Wike .

But then I feel the current governor of kaduna state can stop the HOA members if he actually has El-Rufai's interest at heart like most annointed governors are expected to do for their predecessors. I'm sure Ododo will not allow such move against Bello in kogi fester under his watch

This was even in Lagos abi ....that flavour own na like normal Friday night for benin,Obito things (I mean carnival like)......Though i heard it has reduced but used to be menace then,TV and Radio stations in Benin advertise Burial ceremonies from AM to PM....

Friday nights were days boys look forward to...picture an owambe and more,obito was it and the rice hits different with musicians serenading you with confirm highlife...

Was part of the culture I had to adjust to for someone who was not born and never grew up in the state,celebrating the dead than the living,people getting loans to do it or pressured to while the dead might not be well taken care of when alive

Yes, it was in Lagos. The thing was a cultural shock to me cos I've never seen anything like that until that period.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Looks like two different cases.

One is a godfather; the other one isn't[/color]

Who is a godfather ? Wike? What makes him a godfather and El-Rufai not one?

I remember reading somewhere that Uba Sani wasn't El Rufais candidate initially. He only agreed to support him after much persuasion from party leaders. Perhaps, the foundation was faulty from the start.

Maybe those who follow Kaduna politics closely can enlighten us.

Kaduna 2023: El-Rufai anoints Uba Sani

Ahead of the 2023 governorship election in Kaduna State, the number of persons aspiring to succeed Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai of Kaduna State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reduced as the Governor has anointed Senator Uba Sani and directed other aspirants to support him.

A former Commissioner in Kaduna State who had aspired to contest the Governorship election under the All Progressives Congress ( APC) ,Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Dattijo, has expressed that his earlier ambition was to succeed Governor El-Rufa’i in 2023 but they were directed to step down for Senator Uba Sani.

Kaduna was in a celebratory mood by friends and political associates of Senator Uba Sani on Thursday, as news filtered that the Senator representing Kaduna Central, was given the nod by Governor El-Rufai.

According to reports, El-Rufai had at a meeting on Wednesday, compelled his former Chief of Staff and two-times former Commissioner of Budget and Planning, Muhammed Sani Abdullahi, popularly known as Dattijo, to shelve his ambition for the governorship and pick the form for Kaduna Central Senatorial District.

In a statement, Dattijo explained that at a meeting on Wednesday morning, the Governor directed that they rally round Senator Uba Sani for the Governorship seat. He however lamented that the Governor had asked “that I pick up the form for the Senatorial seat for Kaduna Central. While this outcome is not what we have planned or hoped for, we have accepted it as Allah SWT’s will provide to whom he wishes, when he wishes.“Therefore we have entrusted our future to Him and prayed the State and the Nation will have the best of leaders in 2023.

Maybe he was not his original candidate sha, but whatever must have made him annoint him ahead of others showed he he definitely preferred him to others. Nobody dey shout betrayer

https://www.nairaland.com/8121216/alleged-n423b-fraud-efcc-sets

Why is nobody Calling the Kaduna state governor Uba Sani a betrayer like they are calling Fubara sef? Is there any difference between their respective cases?

Uba Sani was El-Rufai's annointed candidate just like Fubara was Wike's, but look at Uba Sani going for El-Rufai's jugular....

He has even called EFCC on El-Rufai's head within a year he took office. His own HOA have already written report and concluded El-Rufai was a thief with the state's yam in his throat. Fubara dey learn work for where Uba Sani dey but most people just overlook the matter.

Wetin dey sup?

[color=royalblue]E be like say na Obiano pass am sef

The only good thing about that law is that there is no Wake Keeping anymore. At least, people fit sleep well for night.[/color]

But normally sef all those wake keeping are not supposed to be loud like they usually make it.

Twice growing up I've been traumatized by such wake keeping. One was a Benin man who died in our area; the day of his wake keep overnight ehn, they were just singing mostly sorrowful songs all through the night while drinking and hitting beer bottles with a stick to create sad melody to the dirge.

The second one was an Igbo man who died in his 40's. The man's relatives all through the Wake keeping overnight sang and drank with Merry. I found it quite strange cos u know as Yoruba's we felt such death do not call for much fanfare .

It took growing up for me to understand different people have different culture. But I still feel the two ceremonies should have been done without disturbing the sleep of every other person who don't understand the culture sha

You thought we were capping When we talk say some people HATE Tinubu

To be fair , the discussion the other day was about a whole group of people hating Tinubu. The Ballz guy is just one person and I don’t even know if he’s a south-southerner or South-easterner ( cos he stays in the Rivers state and I don’t know which part of the country he’s originally from ).

But the koko be say one person’s comment cannot be used to judge an entire group of people ; especially when u have known southeasterners here who have not expressed “hate” for same Tinubu.

I just found it distasteful that a tragedy was happening in Malawi and he wants same to happen in naija. It’s not even about Tinubu but the potential loss of lives involved .

A clinical Pre-Wc Jesus is what this team needs. There's a big reason we moved from top 4 contender to title contender sharply because of his style of play (I'm not neglecting other players impact tho). But that Pre-Wc Jesus is the epitome of dream striker I've always got in mind when envisioning the kind of striker I want

Good buildup and linkup play outside or inside the box and still be in the box to score or poach goals when the need arises

I always see humor Dave's post each time he suggests we sign an "out and out striker" as opposed to players in the mould of Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah, etc who do link-up play and also function actively in the build-up play.

Agreed Gabriel Jesus has not been at his best in terms of finishing and we may be left with no choice than to sign another striker. But one thing is sacrosanct; whoever we will sign will either be in that Mould or Arteta may be forced to change formation to accommodate the kinda strikers Dave likes.

It is obvious strikers like Gabriel Jesus are critical to Arteta's style of play. Like u rightly opined, there's a resason we now ship bag of goals past our opponents in the last two seasons.

daveP:
Besides, Laca had Iwobi, Ozil and Ceballos. Iwobi Vision that year was something else ( like asif he was under studying ozil). Plus Laca barely got yellow cards despite how he looked vs defenders. His outside shots are seriously missed.


As for Haaland, he's lucky Arteta is no longer at City. MA for don impress Apari to rest the guy as he's not producing what he ought to. Pep doesn't look so pissed at his game. Haaland is lucky. So, we can still get a Haaland that's hardworking too, but primary duty more the need. We'll fly.

Odegaard and co need a striker that will add to their current hype.

Iwobi was not all that.

daveP:
Can we agree that Arteta thought that Nketiah and Jesus will fill up the Lacazette spot, but they really couldn't. I mean primary striker role. So far, the Creator and Finisher combined role doesn't seem to be flourishing with major factors being injury and playing time,plus coach preference. Best season of Laca na 21GA. Same for Jesus(but at man City)

This is not a Laca preference post. Just looking between the lines. Gabriel dived. 26GA in 53games.

Anytime I read ur posts about this striker issues ehn, I always smile.

For ur sake, I just hope whomever we sign as striker actually ends up scoring gazillion of goals. U seem so fixated having strikers score tons of goals instead of having a multi-goalscoring team.

Me I prefer Nketiah and Jesus contributing their quota while the while everybody play their part to ship multiple goals past opposing teams.

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has insisted that the ban on Okaighele (community youth leaders) activities in seven local governments in Edo South Senatorial district is still in force.

Recall that the Oba of Benin Palace had on June 7, 2024, kicked against the action of the Edo State Government.

While addressing the Okaigheles who protested to Palace, Chief Osaro Idah, the Obazelu of Benin, who spoke on behalf of the monarch, had said Okaighele is not something that can be banned by fiat as they belong to the Benin ancestors.

According to the Palace, Okaighele represents a segment of the aged-long Benin traditional administrative structure.


“Okaighele didn’t start in this Century. As you have age grades, and senior sons, so we have them. When Odionwere (village head) is appointed by the Oba, Okaighele assist the Odionwere in the daily administration of the domain on daily basis.”

But reacting to the Palace’s comments, the Edo government said Okaighele and cultists pose the most severe threat to the security and stability of the state.

The Commissioner for Orientation and Communication, Chris Nehikhare, who spoke on behalf of the government said Okaighele’s was made in the interest of public safety.

He described the development as a move to curb the alarming rise in cult-related activities.

“The Edo State Security Council data has shown that these two groups (Okaigheles and cultists) pose the most severe threat to the security and stability of the State, resulting in the decision of the Council to place a total ban on the criminal groups”.

“While we respect the tradition and customs of our communities, it is important to note that the safety and security of our citizens must always come first”.

“Chief Osaro Idah, Obazalu of Benin’s contradictory statement does not change the gravity of the situation at hand, and we stand by our decision to enforce this ban on Okaigheles to protect the lives of our people.”

He warned that government would not allow any individual or organization no matter now highly placed to undermine the efforts of the State Security Council to protect the lives and property.

“We reiterate that the activities of cultists, Okaigheles and their sponsors remain banned in the State and we will spare no effort to ensure that those who flout the ban are made to face the full weight of the Law,” he said

I saw this thread on the politics section about Oba of Benin/ Benin Traditional Council Vs Obaseki. I don't know much about Edo politics, but if the state government claims it has intelligence report that suggests those Okaigheles post same security threat as cultists, why is the Oba kicking? Should the Oba not be concerned about the safety of lives and properties of his subjects?

Of recent I've been seeing videos cultism related killings in Edo state almost on a daily basis. If the government thinks going tough on the cultists and placing a ban on the Okaigheles will bring sanity back to the state, is it not better the Oba supports the government ?

He should go and fly Nigeria Air he was busy running PR for despite obvious indications it was a fraudulent enterprise orchestrated by his “brother “

Someone foolishly posted “ Nigeria really has some of the most wicked humans on the planet, and coincidentally, these are often the most religious people. So much religion, and yet, so little humanity “. Isn’t it obvious u have issues with ur own kind ? They call u out now u come Dey fold 😂

If u hate ur fellow Nigerians and hate being a Nigerian, just say it with ur full chest and stop Nigerianizing something like bullying that happens in every country where they have access to unregulated social media . Simple !

Which one is “Nigerian cyberbullies”
again ?

Cyber bullies are cyber bullies and they exist in every country not just Nigeria . Cyber bullies are who they are , they bully people online and they abound in every country .

We’ve seen English footballers like Saka and co bullied online simply because they missed penalty which was a 50/50 chance in football. Is it “Nigerian cyber bullies “ that bullied him when that happened ?

I dont pride myself to be one of the most patriotic Nigerians out there , but Nigerianizing a general global problem makes no sense to me.
