Maybe only Flutterwave, but for every Flutterwave, you have a Gokada kicked out of the market by infantile government policies.

Governance in Nigeria is bedevilled by leaders who make knee-jerk decisions when they should be actually thinking through the far reaching effect of their decisions .

I worked with a team that had something to do with one of the popular bike hailing services not named Gokada prior to the ban of bike men on highways . Like these guys with the bike-hailing service were making cool cash, paying their taxes , doing their normal CSR and even offering more and more employment opportunities to youth that would’ve been criminals .

These guys took loan to expand their business by buying more bikes and Lagos state government wakes up one day and puts them out of business ! Imagine already almost clearing your goods in the port and government declares trading in that line of business is now a crime

Things dey happen for this country sha .

Na today dem wan tear Izzou isiagu , but I can see Izzou in the chemistry lab measuring the right amount of chemical that will cause their their domiciliary edifice to be consumed by a magnanimous conflagration

You Dey ask

If victor Valdez no be world class Abeg who be world class ?

Na saves Abi na Wetin the guy no sabi ,so because he Dey sleep for post at times while Barca dominate up front makes him not world class ?

I will take victor Valdez over every available gk alive now ,during his time it’s just casillas and few others that where better than him

Make I no lie u, only u and a few handful of barca fans believe Valdez is world class.

If to say na during Pele days Valdez play and u talk this thing, some of us will not even argue with u since we didn't watch him play but u see the Valdez wey all of us watch? It's blasphemy for u to say he's Ur GOAT of keepers. Valdez no even Sabi keep reach Stergen wey dey for una post now sef

Like I said I argued about the bridge itself.

you're free to bring out any post where I contradicted myself by saying the project was finished. Emphasis on project not the bridge itself.

lol. Now its about semantics.

Wo make una enjoy jare.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Maiduguri is in the North East. This is a region that has insecurity issues. So this rail is probably going to pass through regions of the NE.

So what is the traffic like, even in terms of Cargo?

If it was the NW, like Kano, i can see the economic benefits.

But Maiduguri? Damaturu?

Abeggg[/color]

Lol. I also didn't know the economic importance of the NE till I served in the NW. For example Potiskum in Yobe state has one of the largest cattle markets in West Africa. They transport cattles from there to all other parts of the country; in fact traders come from neighboring countries like Benin, Cameroun, CAR etc come to buy and sell there.Most of the cattles we eat in the south comes from there.

Don't be surprised people live in Maiduguri till date and enough people travel all those axis wella. There are some NE states that are big on agriculture too.

If government should only focus on improving the infrastructure on only places like NW and parts of the south, trust me it will only lead to more poverty for people in less developed regions and surely those people will migrate to the developed areas turning to thieves, bandits, and other criminal elements.

chrisooblog:
Na today? Marwa then as outgoing military administrator of Lagos State quickly rushed to commission Teslim Balogun Stadium even though there were barely any covered sits or mainbowl pitch

Or OBJ that went to some place in Ogun State to do press conference about start of a railway projects

Or GEJ that went to commission 2nd niger bridge billboard?

Even Sanwo-Olu that completed the blue line light rail don't be surprised if it doesn't begin conveying passengers until towards the end of next year.

All na for political optics.

You know all this , yet u argued with izzou over all day and night .

chrisooblog:
Chief you for mention me direct no be beefing issue

Jokes apart I'm happy you put up Fashola's quote which corroborates what I've insisted all along that the bridge itself is completed but the access roads still need to be finished.

Where me and izzou differ is that he insists because some of the access roads are not ready then the bridge itself hasn't been completed. At least cars are now passing the 'uncompleted' bridge which is enough for me.

I don't know why this seems like something from Ambode's playbook ; rushing to commission uncompleted Airport road and Oshodi Interchange in 2019. Oh! Now I understand, Buhari was invited to commission the project that year, he must taken that key point from Ambode sha.

When I say rich or poor, Nigeria will get to you, this is what I mean.

https://www.nairaland.com/7491597/joe-unuame-driver-die-accident

If only you knew the number if elite that have lost their lives to bad roads in the country, you will get just how Nigeria is the great equalizer.

The news didn't say he had an accident due to bad roads na. The news only talked about him being involved in an head-on-collision with a Tanker which could happen on a good road when both drivers are driving on high speed on a road that has no median

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He was just unfortunate that there was not enough loans to carry out the project.

Even sef, what is the economic advantage of having a rail from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri? I no too sabi those areas, but it sure looks like a project that will be recording losses from time to time.
[/color]

I don't know sha, the failure to secure loan is a good excuse but the new Transport minister not stopping there and further blaming insecurity get as e be.

He may think he's doing his principal a favor saying that but in another way he's indicting his principal who has not only been unable to address the insecurity issues he promised to address when elected, but insecurity has also grown under his watch.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am talking about a railway line, not a sea port

How will a Prt Harcourt - Maiduguri railway line, help eastern ports for exportation and importation?[/color]

I believe the original idea is to have rail lines joining the south and the north, that way heavy duty trucks populating the highways will be replaced with Cargo trains which will ferry goods from one far end of the country to the order. For example having cows transported from the core north to the southern parts of the country. All things being equal, it should make our roads more safer and the cost of maintaining roads too will reduce.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]

Baba just wan make sure say Buhari finish am in 8 years, even if it means arguing with facts.[/color]

I saw the news of FG saying they will be unable to complete the train project along the eastern corridor which they had earlier promised will be delivered before Buhari leaves office.

I just dey wonder wetin Amaechi go tell him people say dem gain from his time as the Transport minister

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He just wanted to win the argument, so I left the trophy and tournament for him

Media links said it was not completed; he argued it

Even the 2nd driver to pass the bridge in the history of Nigeria said it was not completed; he argued it

Now the Minister of Works has said that the "completed bridge" would be shut down again so that it can be completed; I guess you know his next comment [/color]

They want to complete the completed project

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Tolling the 2nd Niger bridge sounds like a very bad economic strategy, especially when the old one is free.

My condolences to the private partner hoping to recoup his investments, IMO[/color]

This one u no even bother drag that Ur friend about the completion of the bridge and it's access roads based On Fashola's own words below ; e be like say Ur tired is tired already

Amoto94:
Don J thinks calling me Awon al-Qaeda will provoke not knowing that he's extolling my virtues. al-Qaeda means principle/fundamental so calling me that means I'm a principled person which I have displayed on here. I apologise when I err and own up to my mistakes unlike him that deny and lie anyhow. I'm Awon al-Qaeda take it to the bank because I adhere to good principles

Hmmm. Except u don't have plans of travelling to a western country in the nearest possible future, I don't think u should be embracing the tag "Al-qaeda" on the open internet like u are doing now. It doesn't matter whether this was done in the course of banters/trolling; things like this can affect one in the future when one's footprint online is digged into by people of interest.

I may be wrong tho.

Iniesta say make Una allow PENDUlums and PELEbiscites wail their hearts out ; what is done is done!

Martinelli on the verge of signing new deal worth 200k /week
Poachers will be lurking behind, we need to close saka and saliva deals too

That Saliba, if na to kidnap all him family to make him sign new contract we must put all machinery in place

As for Saka he's still our boy that owes the club and the entire management for giving him a chance when most top clubs will probably not at that time ; with a little haggling from both sides we will get him to sign a good deal that will favor both parties. What is not guaranteed is he seeing out the contract depending on how well we later do as a team and price suitors are willing to pay for him.

The bolded is the reason FIFA is assumed to be backing Messi to win the trophy because the referee ought to had given him second yellow card but he looked away. Very obvious.

Many fouls were committed by the Argentina players but the referee refused to give the second yellow card. Very obvious fraud.

The reason many will never regard Messi as goat of goats. Everything about him is fraud.

Took banned substances in athletics to succeed in football.

U sure say u no go need see therapist on top this Messi matter like this ?

The ref should give a keeper yellow card during penalty shoot-out because he dropped the ball for the opposing player to pick from the floor ? U for just say make he wrap the ball in the best of Persian silk and go on his knees and hand the ball to him. Later una go dey give imaginary commentary on still image dey claim say na since 1972 una don dey play as striker

Messi took banned substance in athletics to succeed in football. I'm guessing u are the lab technician who attended to them the day Messi drug tests results came out. smh

U better don't let the GOAT's massive W turn u to something else. Even PENDU wailing sef no reach ur own since sunday night.

Bimffo:
WTF is PENDUIST?

It's like u've not been to man utd thread recently. The messi fans there don scatter everywhere with trolling. There's now school of PENDUISM sef

Imagine saying BIOMBAPPE SCIENCE . I'm like, how do they come up with these shiiiits?

BlueMann:
I don't think it was, I saw another photo from a different angle.

I understand being petty but I think it's unnecessary, I like the guy but he's doing too much. I heard he also did something concerning Mbappe in the dressing room. Surprising considering he spent some time consoling him after the game.

A lot of things happen before and during that match.

First I believe most south Americans do not find flattering that comment of Mbappe about South American football being less competitive compared to what obtains in Europe. It appears he was dissing them. Now Messi might not really be outspoken about things like that and would always skip press men questions surrounding such controversies, but people like Martinez and the rest of the team will not hesitate to leave egg in the face of someone like Mbappe when they have the chance.

I also watched a video of Martinez before Tchouameni penalty which he saved. He delibrately threw the ball sideways for Tchouameni to go pick it up, walk up to the spot and Tchouameni plays it off target. It was after that penalty Martinez did the crazy dance that's become a meme. That was just mind games because the moment a young player like Tchouameni goes to pick the ball and starts trying to decide where to place the "b*Stard" in goal, Martinez is already in his head and he succeeded.

I Also saw a video of Mbappe celebrating at 2-2 clinching his fist pointedly at Messi. That alone qualifies him for disrespect from people like Martinez. I mean Martinez literally worships whatever ground Messi steps on. ( Who wouldn't in his shoes? This is a guy who spent 10 years at Arsenal, didn't get a chance until Leno was injured and boom! The FA cup.) Just 2 years of playing with Messi he has 3 international trophies to his name. The guy is all out to press any pressable necks for messi and if the neck no gree press, na to break am.

Tomorrow is another day , we go cry again

https://mobile.twitter.com/renoomokri/status/1605285885662343168

From what I saw in the video , he gave only one man money . I believe there’s a reason he must have given him the money . (Whatever reason it might be , I don’t think the money he gave that man can even buy 5 votes )

It’s not the same thing as Reno captioning the video as “ Tinubu caught red handed sharing money to politicians “ . That Reno ehn, the kind misinformation wey he dey share , I don’t get excited to share or react to any news he posts until it is confirmed by more credible people

All those his theatrics that day sef portray him as someone crazy enough to do that

A001:
Islam encourages seeking knowledge but for women, a number of conditions must be met before they can be allowed to go to school based on the conservative Islamic doctrine of Wahabism, which is the closest today to how Muhammad practiced Islam.

Some of those conditions include: Women are forbidden from appearing in public places without a mahram; women are forbidden from relating or mingling with the opposite sex; women are forbidden from talking in public.

That's why in Sunnah, women get more reward observing Sallah (prayer) at home than attending masjid (mosque).

Taliban, Salafs, Ahlu Sunnah are few of the sects practicing like 10% of real Islam in modern times as Muhammad and his Sahabah (companions) did in their lifetime.

If you see real Islam, you'll shudder in fear.

No wonder while I was in the north I never saw Muslim women pray in the mosque for one mosque wey dey close to me. In fact on Friday when people line-up for prayers from the mosque till the main road (which they usually block from traffic ) , I never noticed any female amongst them.

Meanwhile , in Lagos while in school, it’s a female course mate (whom we refer to Alhaja because she covers her hair ) that usually call other male course-mates to let them go for 2pm and 4pm prayers o.
