Omor, food wey no go reach 2 year old pikin chop na im full grown man dey chop and the crazy thing is a fair number of those guys are innocent or have spent more time in prison than they should typically have spent for their crime.

This is one sad part of being a Nigerian .

I watched the video of a guy recently who was remanded in prison in 2015 when Buhari got to power and was released shortly after Buhari left in 2023 . He spent 8 years of his life in remand for a crime he didn’t commit.

His neighbour accused him of defiling his (the neighbour’s) daughter ; due to how serious a crime rape is , the judge ordered that he be remanded after the first hearing. The said Neighbours daughter eventually confessed the man was innocent , but when u no quick settle
Nigeria police they willl push ur case to the court and allow u to be facing wahala promax for ur “strong head “‘and claiming I too know .

Unfortunately for him, the police IPO handling his case never showed after the first hearing so the judge kept adjourning his case in subsequent hearings so months turned to years while he was awaiting trial . The man was only lucky that lawyers going to prisons for CSR reviewed his case, stood for him and prevailed on the judge to throw out the case after 8 years 🤦‍♂️

Nigeria na jungle

This is what typical Nigerian prison cell looks like. In all u do , make sure u don’t find urself there

It must not make economic sense to you in particular.

Sometimes, government is not about profit making but welfare of her people.


Do those people go by train free? They paid money.

Not everyone has the money to by air or road. Going by train is cheaper. People are employed and people/ goods are transported from one place to another.

You want Nigerians to be dying anyhow because of bad road. ? Go to Nasarawa and other states and see how good roads have reduced accident.

Look at the military hardware bought under Buhari.

How much did Obasanjo meet the fuel price and how much did he leave it?

Buhari did a lot in infrastructure. Femi Adesina explained it better to the extent he shouted Buhari for life.

We just need to count our loss and move on. Life is sometimes like that...sometimes we get it right and sometimes we get it wrong, but we will be grateful if we get more rights than wrongs.

Imagine if no one is willing to buy him at all, he will be sitting there just collecting salaries for doing nothing on top of what was already spent to buy him.

I am happy he is gone with obligation to buy. Good luck to him. Our prayer is that Havertz should not end up like this too.

I'm even livid he was reported to be rejecting clubs in Saudi and even rejected Besiktas initially. The guy is just lazy and won't mind sitting on the bench till January knowing the coach won't play him. He just wan dey chop our money

Ibime:
Make una dey there. Na interim President sack am. Rubiales been dey beat chest say he go offer am bumper new contract. This man is the source of all Rubiales woes. Rubiales sef na mumu, you are President of more lucrative mens team, you decide to die on the hill of women's coach. That's like FA President putting himself in danger over Under 17 team matter.

Congratulations Doc, U are going places!

Bech Cam is out guys! The emotions on Sunday was well captured. Arteta really got his in-game management right with his subs at the right time and the players did their respective jobs perfectly well!

Immidiately Rashford scored Arteta called Odegaard for some talks and few seconds later Odegaard scored

You can watch the bench cam video on our FB page

Olowunl01:
No different from what we have now within the states.
Cross River & Akwa Ibom would be in the same south south region so the wealth is shared.

I know they are within the same region and the wealth will be shared, but u will start seeing each member state complain about marginalization of their interests at the regional level. Just look at Southern and Northern Kaduna issues

The General Overseer and Founder of the Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere has reportedly agreed to take in the child alleged to be his by a lady identified as Miss Imaobong Loveth Sunday.

It should be recalled that, Miss Imaobong Loveth Sunday had taken to social media to allege that Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere is the father of her son.

However, on Friday, September 1, 2023, newsmen were allowed to hear directly from Apostle Chibuzor who cleared the air on the issue that has drawn attention and criticism, especially from the clergyman’s followers worldwide.

One Bishop Sodje Masodje led other pastors to the residence of the Founder of Omega Power Ministries, Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere.

During a press briefing, Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere told newsmen that he would not deny any child because his parents never denied him

Which kind talk be this?

Olowunl01:
Bro, dont fall for that scam - winner always takes it all. We already have proportional representation its is called the National Assembly; after OBJ bastardised the institutions to get his way during his 8year term na now him dey realise that our democracy isn't democracying? Abegiii.

Let him go direct and just say we should return to regions, and parlimentary system no need for all these shalayes.

donjazzet:
Maybe regional government like in the 60's all under the umbrella of a federal parliamentary system.

I think this will help all regions develop at their own pace with anyone dragging down the other.
The problem was that this was before the discovery of oil in nigeria, so will the north allow anything of the sort seeing how unproductive their region has become?

Without oil then, the north were highly productive agriculture wise. The west was the centre of commerce and administration. The south east exported palm oil and timber to our colonial powers and the riverine areas practices high level fishery, an industry now nonexistence to due to pollution of the land via oil.

That system has proven overtime to be the only one that actually benefitted nigeria greatly. I don't know if it will work today.

Nigerians have been so divided in recent times that I doubt even regional government will work at this point. In states like Benue, Plateau and Nassarawa where u have Fulani, Eggon, Tiv, Junkun, Birom, Idoma, etc some groups will still shout marginalization and that their interests are not being considered in the general scheme of things.

Or is it Cross River and Akwa Ibom that have oil fields that have been subject of disputes in the past?

donjazzet:
Indeed, that was a very surprising take by a key APC member. I'm intrigued by the idea or how it will work.

This is what he proposes;


Very interesting

That is why we must ensure that everybody is a crucial stakeholder by stopping all these. Let the manifesto of PDP, APC and Labour Party, be put on the table and select all those who will pilot the programme from all parties

You see this thing, na bobo. U will think people like Bayo Onanuga, Reno,FFK and the likes care about any manifesto. They will rather muddle the waters, resort to character assassination in favour of their preferred candidates when the politicking starts.

All these things Fayemi is saying dey sweet to talk during symposiums and town hall meetings; just wait for political season and u will see people doing the aforementioned even in his favour if he's on the ballot and he won't even address it provided he will benefit from it politically.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I also liked his opinion about Winner taking all, even though i know it is politics too.

Tinubu's tenure would meet more than enough resistance because 65% of voting population do not want him, and the same goes for the rest too.

Conduct the election 500 times, and Tinubu cannot win the SS/SE, and Obi cannot win the North. So of what good will it be to force any winner on the rest?[/color]

Gbam!

If u notice he refrenced Obsanjo's cable interview where Obasanjo made bold to say the present form of democracy we are practising in Africa is not "Domocracying" and he(Fayemi) agreed with Obj. The cable interviewer was calling different countries and their democracies and Obj kept on insisting "dem just dey play"(Including Ghana)

You know we've had this discussion in the past. Until we come together as a people to determine what system actually works for us, this current system of winner takes all that only favours the few he spoke about will always be an issue.

PS: Before anybody start goading me asking me what alternative system of government am I suggesting ; Note I'm not a political scientist and do not have any system in mind for now but I know the current system is not working

Amigoss:
Now that Fayemi don talk true as APC played politics with the lives of Nigerians alongside pastors,Wole Soyinka, and co....will they be man enough like Fayemi to apologize to Nigerians?...

At least he's decent enough to admit the truth we've always known.

In the space of one week, Wale Edun, Obasanjo and Fayemi have all confirmed that Buhari plunged this country into serious economic abyss

raumdeuter:
Is there any evidence that Nigeria is worse hit than other countries in our subregion

Egbon na u put subregion o; I no put any subregion for my post o

Jodera:
To me, experience is not only by age but by what one can do effectively due to past endeavours and improvements. Martinelli have been in our starting 11 for how many years now? I think he has that experience, just improvement he needs to work on

Not saying we don't need competition with Martinelli if we can but I feel he just needs improvement in some grey areas(decision making and outside finishing) and he'll be world class. Mind you, most top teams in EPL would pick Martinelli in a heartbeat

Also, that Lisbon match we played (which we lost on penalties btw), we used mostly our second 11 and returning injured players to gain rhythm. I don't know why you're using that match to access the strength of our team. I still feel it's not a fair picture

Trossard is already a decent deputy for Martinelli; there's no need packing the team with 3-4 players playing the same position and the coach will be having headache trying to make all of them happy. Martinelli needs to improve some aspects of his game like u rightly pointed out and the coach can start Trossard ahead of him when the need arises. Not forgetting we have other utility players that can be used in the position as well.

monerozi5590:
Infrastructure doesn't make sense to you?

Which economic prosperity. You wanna compare then and now factoring the increase in our population and inflation?

If we don't develop infrastructure, who will develop it for us?

If we don't equip our military, who will do it for us.

If something doesn't make sense to you, it makes sense to lot of people.

You didn't answer my question. Two economic crises, what should he do?

External debt increased by almost 3 times under Jonathan and almost 5 times under Buhari.

Under Obasanjo, almost all the external debt were forgiven but domestic debt increased in billions of dollars, why? I need you to answer this too.

Is Nigeria the only country affected by this so called Economic crises? Why is Nigeria worse hit than other countries?

Simple Answer- Because Nigeria was being led by an effigy called Buhari as at the time.

If anybody should be making excuse for failing woefully in terms of Economy it should be Obasanjo who inherited a country plagued by corruption, haphazard economic planning and distortion of economic policies no thanks to years of military government. Yet U don't see Obasanjo nor his followers making such soft-landing excuses for him.

Instead Obasanjo set out to steady the economy, he disposed of moribund government corporations/assets like NITEL and co and created an enabling environment for investors like MTN to come in . (I already told u to ask those who were adult or in their teens in pre-2007 and they will tell u how the economy was faring under OBJ)

I've practically shown u Sanusi the "economist" whom u revered so much pointing it out to u that that Buhari "infrastructure hill" u are trying to die on-top is not the way to go as it makes no economic sense. But I guess u sha want to defend Buhari even if the defense no make sense to u sef

afrodoc2:
Will do so chief.

Sent doc!

monerozi5590:
You didn't factor in two economic crises under Buhari. What would you have him do.

Didn't Obasanjo borrow?

At least you saw what Buhari did with the money.

Are u saying u didn't see what Obasanjo did with Nigeria's economy? Ask anybody who was already an adult during Obasanjo's administration and they will tell u his administration was when we prospered economically the most in recent times.

An economist u revered so much is telling u Buhari's investment makes no economic sense , u are deflecting from the issue

Why?

mostob:
Nicolas Pepe will join Besiktas. The player passed a medical in Paris today. Pepe accepted Besiktas’ proposal in ‘recent hours’, after initially rejecting them earlier in this transfer window.




£2m Loan deal with obligation to buy for £6m.

Is Pepe mad ?

So he's even rejecting offers? I don't blame him sha, it's the people that sanction his purchase in the first place I blame

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Hahahaha

I disagree. SE lawmakers is the reason the rail failed in SE/SS. Make dem con2unu taking train ride 2 attend marriage ceremonies

U too like wahala

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Buhari, the worst president Nigeria will ever have.

Like Oluwon would always say, any of the 3 presidential candidates are better options than that failure of a leader.

Even Tinubu that rode on his horse, have dissociated himself from Buhari, when he saw the rot in the system.

An APC minister is even telling us that the last time we had economic growth was under Jonathan.

I don't think any president can be as worse as Buhari, either living or dead.[/color]

E just be like say Nigeria offend God and God used Buhari to punish the country

raumdeuter:
Moslems dey do traditional rulers wella

Even Christians sef dey do, but A pastor or an Imam becoming traditional ruler seems a bit off if u ask me.

A traditional ruler is expected to be the head/leader of the Traditional religion practitioners. How will a pastor that has always casted and bind the demons, declare witches and witches powerless all his life suddenly become "Igbakeji orisha", "oko aje" , "oko osho" ?

That's where I'm coming from o

monerozi5590:
Recklessly! I laugh. As much as I like Obasanjo he should just stop at this point.

Buhari can point to what he did with the loan. Is something we can all see (infrastructure)

No president has invested more in our military like Buhari.

Under Obasanjo, Nigeria took the first highest external loan in 1978. 1 billion US dollars from the the International Capital Market.

In 2004 our total external debt was almost 36 billion dollars.

In 2007 Paris Club Debt Relief and exit from the London Club brought our external debt to 3+ thousand million US dollars.

Under Obasanjo, our domestic debt increased in billion of US dollars.

In the first quarter of 2015, our external debt was 9+ thousand million dollars.

In the first quarter of 2023, our outstanding external debt was 40+ thousand million dollars.

During Buhari's time, the world encountered two global economic crises. The Covid 19 economic crises in 2020 and the global economic crises in 2016.

Sanusi should know better because he was the CBN governor in 2009. The world experienced economic crises in 2008. In 2008, our foreign exchange reserves was almost 60 billion US dollars. Nigeria spent 20 billion of our foreign exchange reserves to absorb the shock of that crisis. Had it been there was not enough foreign exchange reserves, what would have happened?

Nigeria total external debt is the combination of FG and states.

Nigeria total domestic debt is the combination of FG and states.

This ur Buhari fanaticism has reached an all time high!

Just last week Tinubu's newly appointed minister stated the last time Nigeria's economy experienced growth was before Buhari became the president. (which is a fact)

The "Economist" Sanusi u always refenced warned Buhari's government that only investment in the economy could bring about Economic growth and not recklessly amassing debts that will be invested in infrastructure that will not yield any economic benefit . He didn't listen . Sanusi saw the future when he asked: Your citizens will ride on a train and when u ride on a train, in northern Nigeria, in a state like Kano or Katsina, where are u going to? U are not going to an industrial estate to work . U are not going to school? U are not going to farm. U borrow money from China to invest in trains so that ur citizens can ride on them and go to weddings and naming ceremonies

Now Obasanjo is saying the truth which we've always known while u were busy clapping for Buhari borrowing the country broke; , u are now saying Obasanjo doesn't know what he's saying ....Smh

There are points u can use to drag Obj(Like the investment in Power sector that never yielded positive result till date), but the issue of debt is definitely not one. The same Obj that travelled all over the world to have Nigeria's debt forgiven ?

Shior !

The man is just pained Messi reminded him of his failure at Barca when he was a coach there and talked down on Riquleme(Who happens to be Messi's idol while growing up)

The Messi celebration when he scored against Van Gaal's team 20 years after was in tribute to Riquelme and it really pained the orange man

iamoyindamola:
My own question is will light rail have worked during that period?

Going by Jakande’s track record in other sectors/projects he initiated , I am very much convinced it would’ve worked .

All the buildings he put are still standing today

One of today's headlines in punch
Everyone just they use this man gba star
40 years was when he first became president

You see punch newspaper ehn? They have been at war with the man Buhari for a while now and na Femi Adesina cause am.

In September 2019 Femi Adesina threatened their state house correspondent and by December 2019 they started referring to Buahri's administration as a "regime"

The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Monday, unleashed a torrent of abuse and threats on PUNCH’s State House Correspondent, Mr John Ameh.

Ameh and other journalists were at the Press Gallery of the Presidential Villa, Abuja when Adesina, a former President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors, walked in and, without exchanging courtesies, began to scream and gesticulate aggressively at our correspondent in the full glare of his colleagues.

“What was that rubbish you people wrote on Saturday? Adesina asked, referencing a story published by one of our newspapers, Saturday PUNCH, on Saturday.

“Did you say that Mr President did not approve the statement? Let me tell you, if you want to last here, you had better be careful!”

The presidential aide then walked away before our correspondent could utter a word in response.

Our correspondent gathered that Adesina had also threatened to bar members of the State House Press Corps from ‘open coverage’ of the President’s events.

The Saturday PUNCH story, “Tribunal: Buhari retracts, confesses he was under pressure” had quoted Buhari as telling some leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress who visited him on Friday that he was under tension while the tribunal delivered its judgment on Wednesday

The president’s admission, our correspondent noted in the story published on Saturday, was contrary to an earlier statement issued by Adesina in which he claimed that the President had not experienced any anxiety over the proceedings of the election tribunal.

Who remembers that the pass Viera dropped for Jesus for the goal, Martinelli was in a similar position last season against City but chose to run with the ball instead of a one time pass.

He could have done same on Sunday.

That's one of the problems of Martinelli ; always looking down when he has the ball at his feet instead of looking up to see an unmarked teammate
