On a serious note: if person heart no fit take the tension on football take a break If old men like fegruson, roy hugson and several oldies survive football pressure why person they die Aswear. If football is not for u, just let it go. Why person go give himself heart attack over footballers who are making their millions? |

afrodoc2: I have kukuma made suggestion on how to solve the corruption and theft.
We need a magnified Rawlings approach. I doubt the Rawlings kinda approach will even be successful in a country like Nigeria bedeviled by tribalism and ethnicity. It didn't work in 1966 when Nigerians are not as divided as they are today and I doubt it will work now. The same Nigerians who vote for politicians based on primordial sentiments like tribalism will find a way to sabotage the process of cleansing the system cos one or two of their benefactors are amongst those earmarked for elimination. |

make una no dey kill unaself because of match smh, anyways they should try abd honour them by winning afcon I don't know why people take football to serious like that at the detriment of their health. As much as I love football, I don't allow it get to me to the extent of affecting my general well being & health. The last time I ever had any medical health related issue due to a football match was 2006 Champions league final between Arsenal & Barca. I had serious headache after Arsenal lost the match and e be like say my head wan burst from the shouting and tension that happened through the 90 mins. As I grew older I decided such energy should not be expended on a football match I have no control over the eventual outcome. Except those men who died as a result of Naija Vs Super Eagles are heavy gamblers, I don't see reason why they should subject themselves to that much tension. |

afrodoc2: We argued this thing for weeks then. At a time i could not understand people's line of thinking. Nigerians living in Nigeria were supporting immediate removal of subsidy BEFORE any palliative measures were in place. I just had to raise my hands like Mr Ibu. I don't even know if na jazz or it's just blind loyalty on the part of people like that. |

Emaprince: Na still APC supporters that were queueing up to voice their support of the removal because, shame won't let them criticise the man whose brain we need, and never the body. The worst of them are those who lives here with us and are experiencing and witnessing the sufferings of the masses first hand. Never mind the abroadians detached from the actual realities over here.
Things are very tough now...but we still dey hustle dey survive. But there are people that this tinubus govt have really reduced to nothing. Smh. And it will shock you to know that majority of these victims are his supporters, but shame no go let them admit. To them : as long as it's not peter Obi, let the suffering continue.
Now APC next move is yo regulate social media. You see what their priorities are? Dumb criminals who only came to rub and cripple the economy kpatakpata What I've noticed is that it is only online everybody forms macho as if the nationwide hardship does not affect them one way or another irrespective of what side of the divide u are. Offline everybody dey feel am. Even me wey dey hyperventilate after the election saying I won't offer any assistance to anybody who knowingly voted APC continuity because of primordial instincts like tribal & religious reasons; I don renege because there's a limit to how u can turn away ur eyes from ur age long acquaintances enduring serious hardship under this Tinubu government that doesn't know its right from left. When someone said people with N600k salary now struggle, yahoo boys and people wey their mama & papa still dey feed think say na cap. By the time u buy fuel, buy foodstuff for ur immediate family, do transfer to people in the family u come from, pay NEPA bill, make contributions towards ur rent, fuel ur generator, pay dry cleaner, etc...then u will know how much remain wey u wan appropriate further. Sometimes u go just sit down and wonder how people who are cleaners, security guards, drivers, etc survive with their meagre salary without stealing. |

afrodoc2: Some of us warned about this. Removing the subsidy at that time was a confirmed error. He should have found a way of putting measures in place first and then removing subsidy after about 2 years.
Ultimately that might still not have worked but would probably have caused less suffering. Exactly ! People that didn’t have foresight kept applauding it as a good move; “removing the subsidy all at once and allowing dollar to find its value “. Now the only commodity everybody fit afford now na HOPE. |

izzou: [color=royalblue]The rush to remove all subsidies and most especially float the naira was the beginning of our problems
Now, they cannot manage any of the effects. [/color] This is the truth ; they know this but u they will never admit it. Things are spiraling out of control and u still see government playing dumb politics blaming every other person apart from themselves, their dumb policies & implementation process. Just early this week APC was blaming opposition for sponsoring anti-Tinubu protests . I was telling a friend recently that so many tenants will default on their rent payments this year because I don’t see how people still struggling to feed with their income will be able to renew rent when the time comes. That in itself is one crisis waiting to happen because the landlord whose disposable income has reduced due to the general hike in prices of commodity will want to increase rent . Eviction and quit notice case go plenty for court this year if things keep going this way |

Soyinka protested before you and I were born, he protested in our lifetime, Now you take over and continue from where Soyinka stopped and pick your own agenda and co conspirators too.
If Soyinka has his agenda, he is not stopping you from having yours. No one stopped Soyinka, No one is stopping you too My agenda is vsible for the blind to see. Like I said earlier, If APC government desires more people to kill they should wait for the northern protests to gain more traction and roll out the tanks. I will continue to call out any of the co-conspirators as I do wish. Nothing anybody fit do about it. |

Soyinka nobody has stopped you from protesting, And saying they killed protesters is not an excuse. They have been killing protesters since the days of Soyinka and it didnt stop him. Why is it stopping you? Your name is also not Wole Soyinka and I'm not answerable to u for calling out an obvious hypocrisy on the part of Soyinka and his co-conspirators when I see one. If APC need more people to kill in protest grounds, they should wait for the northern protest to gain more ground and then should proceed on their usual killing spree. |

A transfer we may likely see in the Summer. Hato is a 17-year old who has captained Ajax already. He is left footed and can be compared to Saliba Physique-wise.
In addition, with Biereth's form lately, we suppose get like 15m at least. Man is balling for Stum Gratz Knowing Arteta, if they sign this boy he will most likely not start for us for the next 2 years sef. |

You protested and got shot so a 90yr old man should come take over?
When they were shooting Soyinkas generation did he come to call you or stop him from further protests Smh. U said it’s a shame for people in their 20’s and 30’s to be waiting for an old man to protest for them . And I told u the last the young men did ; friends of the old man shot at them . Friends of those the old men helped get into power shot at them. Perhaps if the old men decide to magnanimous enough to carry their white hairs to do what they know how to do, their friends will definitely not have them shot at . Except u want to tell me Tinubu will have Soyinka who claimed they were both in trenches during military era shot now that he’s now the ruler .

You think say using protesters for shooting practice just started at endsars
Did that stop Soyinka Gani Falana and co from protesting
Felt sang in 70s "No be outside them kill them student Soweto Zaria and Ife" shey na APC do that one? Or you think na now dem start to shoot protesters
The entitlement that you can sit in your cozy home and the grandfather who protested in 1960 should still come and protest on your behalf 60yrs later is really funny U asked me a question and I gave u an answer. If u want to turn amala therefrom, the floor is urs. |

Anyone not satisfied can stage his own protest
Soyinka has done many protest in his lifetime gone to jail, been arrested, been beaten when he was younger than most of us.
Is it not a shame that people in their 20s 30s and 40s are still waiting for a man in his 90s to come and lead them to protest?
It's like young Americans asking why Jesse Jackson is not protesting now, he has done his part now its your time The people in their 20’s and 30’s that protested during the ENDSARS did the useless APC government not send soldiers after them to use them for shooting practise ? Did the useless Lai Muhammed not lie through his teeth gas lighting and trying to deceive the whole world ? Did they not freeze people’s account simply because they donated to support a just course of fighting against police brutality ? Who knows , maybe if the youth decide to protest this time around its Bandits and Fulani herdsmen APC government will send after them |

Don't mind him. Let him be talking as if we didn't know the political games they played.

Sportsweb: E no mean, Nwabali Plays for his club and every club wish their player luck in international tournament.
Roberto Martinez is from Spain, should Spain face Portugal in Euros final, he will surely fight to see his team (Portugal wins).
For the Chippas man, it's a win win for him, it will favour him most if Nwabali wins and succeed, more transfer fees There's a difference between wishing ur player well and writing a press release not only wishing ur player well , but also saying u stand with him against ur own country. U will not see an European club owner make such moves. In fact he can cause problem for the player with the club's fans who are all South Africans when he returns back to the club. The good thing tho is Nwabali will most likely be moving from the club soon and the man will cash out . So when his country men dey bash him, he will be enjoying the bashing with cash in the bank  |

raumdeuter: I hope your agenda will also remember that these same set of people hit the street to protest that Jonathan be made president while he was serving in Turais kitchen My agenda cares nothing about what happened to Jonathan's political career. My agenda concerns itself with the hypocrisy of statements made by those people back then but have lost their voices now. People like Soyinka believe "the hardship" experienced under Jonathan due to the subsidy removal is evidence of his government's detachment from the people he was supposed to serve. He even called the proposed palliatives as being illusionary as campaign promises. Is Tinubu's government not totally detached from the people he was elected to serve? Are the people who voted for him not saying "ebi'n pawa" while his convoy is passing-by 7 months into his tenure ? Are the palliatives he promised not as illusionary as his campaign promises? I guess those people who labelled themselves "Save Nigeria Group" have lost their voice or maybe Nigeria suddenly doesn't need saving again. |

What they sold to us is an aged Partey, who while still good, needs high maintenance and management. Arteta did not get the memo early enough and overused him early on.

Jodera: Saying Kai gives more in pressing and positional dynamics than Jesus is pure lie from the pit of hell except na Another Jesus and Kai wey dey Arsenal Tula of Russia.
Kai would never have given that assist to Saka against Nottingham forest neither would he have given the assist to Trossard in crystal palace. Kai can't even score that goal against Man u that Jesus scored sef. No be same Man u opportunity Kai had against Liverpool and he started falling down looking for penalty cos he's sluggish.
Nothing Kai gives more than Jesus except we want to go full-on route one football but then even winning aerial balls Jesus is no slouch either even though I know Kai has the edge over here only because of height.
Never put Kai in Jesus in the same sentence regarding CF biko.
The less said about Kai the midfielder, the better for everyone U just over work urself. Havertz is a basic ordinary player ; it's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. Gabriel Jesus is head and heels above him in terms of technicality, dribble, press and even passing ability. Anybody that wants to keep lying to themselves about Havertz's ability that is not visible on the pitch, let them keep at it. |

Speaking at Government House, Jalingo earlier on Wednesday, Chairman of the visiting panel that toured the projects, Dr Emmanuel Lawson, said the dam is not just about electricity but also irrigational purposes and the supply of water in the area.
He added that the Kashimbilla airport will make it the second one in the state with huge potentials for cargoes transportation. He stressed that the economic benefits to Taraba state and environs is beyond quantifying. https://www.nairaland.com/7994296/former-president-jonathan-commission-kashimbillaI saw this news on frontpage and I was wondering; does a state like Taraba really need 2 airports?

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Pastor Tunde Bakare and human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, in Lagos on Monday faulted the decision of the Federal Government to remove fuel subsidy, describing the action as anti-people.
They urged President Goodluck Jonathan to rescind his decision to withdrew fuel subsidy, saying he should revert to the N65 pump price.
The trio spoke at a rally to condemn the subsidy withdrawal, which forced Labour to begin an indefinite strike on Monday.
Presidents, Coalition Against Corrupt leaders and Campaign for Democracy, Mr. Debo Adeniran and Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin including other notable human rights activists and lawyers also spoke in the same vein.
Soyinka in a speech read on his behalf by Okei-Odumakin, said hardly had government detachment from the people it was supposed to serve been so evident as shown in the subsidy removal.
He stated that it was ironical that the government obtained an injunction to stop the strike, considering the little consideration it paid to the judiciary in the case involving the former President of the Appeal Court, Justice Ayo Salami.
Soyinka said, ‘‘The bruited palliatives, as illusory as electoral promises, belong to what Nigerians routinely describes as ‘medicine after death’. A serious government would have emplaced the ‘palliatives’ first, worked assiduously to ensure that they were effectively enforced, with, at the very least, a guaranteed stabilisation of the existing level of Nigerian subsistence, which was nothing to crow about in any case. Nothing remotely approaching this protective measure has taken place, only-Business As Usual.’’
The playwright added that if the Nigeria Labour Congress chose to ignore the order, it ‘‘has impeccable precedents – it is merely the chickens coming home to roost. While Jonathan’s predecessor, Olusegun Obasanjo, repeatedly pummelled the judiciary into a state of coma, Goodluck Jonathan has driven an iron stake through its heart.’’
Noting that Nigerians had again been placed at the mercy of rampaging market forces, Soyinka added that the patient beast of burden called the Nigerian citizen was overloaded with its knees buckled only that its spirit refused to be crushed.
Bakare stated that the Jonathan administration should revert to N65 fuel price and not pay any subsidy to anybody until an agreement was reached on the way forward.
He said that the protest was not about politics but on happenings in the country.
Falana, who noted that the protest was for freedom, challenged the government to expose the cabal within the oil sector.
The lawyer lamented that it was only in Nigeria that government would be saying there was a cabal that cannot be touched.
He said, ‘‘The protest is to ensure that all the enemies of our country are exposed to ridicule and embarrassment. It is a movement for the revolution of our country. Why is it that an infinitesimal number continues to suffer majority of the people. Those who said you have no right to demonstrate are talking balderdash.’’ https://dailypost.ng/2012/01/10/soyinka-bakare-falana-flay-jonathan-at-lagos-protest/Throwback Thursday  The hypocisy that men do, lives with them.
