Tinubu till 2031.

The lesson for Igbos is yet to start so he has to continue

The evil that men do

When the hunter has become hunted

We have strong men in Nigeria. We don't have strong institutions. The president is lord.

He decides where any floating fund goes to. unaccounted afterwards.

Same reason any president who takes over retire half of our Generals to promote His men. We waste years of military experiences.

Have you ever heard any western leader took over and retired heads of security


We have strong men.

You can't separate the head slammers from perversion.

Their oga married a freaking 9 year old.

For them, woman is property. If you want to ruin the destiny of a head slammer. Just set him up with a woman. Their brain moved from head to their third leg once they see a woman.

Gboom:
Is Adeshina an Igbo name?
Abi common sense is very scarce to yamirin people ni

Visit Ben Bruce Twitter page and see how Yoruba's have rejected her because in their view, she is not Yoruba enough for having Igbo name.

Same you lots did to The guy who contested against Sanwolu in the last election

pathetic

Shame. What local council consumes in Japan is the annual target of 200 million people

“The Church is not the problem of Nigeria ”

In Texas, it costs about $30,000 to rent a stadium for one day. Famous Nigerian artistes fill those stadium across the world… and make a lot of money from their craft. When an artist is selling entrance ticket to a show. His management team have their eyes on the ticket money to recoup travel cost and other expenses.

An average price of ticket for Davido, Wizkid or Burnaboy shows cost from $50 to $500 for VIP. The show is an entertainment which you pay for.


Last month, Apostle Joshua Selman was in Dallas-Fort Worth and filled a stadium for 2 days.

Attendance was absolutely FREE. You only need to REGISTER for effective management and govt policies on safety. Apostle said no offering should be collected. All expense paid for. Just come and worship your God for 2 days.

In August 31, Pastor Jerry Eze will be in Houston. Yesterday, I tried getting the ticket but it’s already finished. A large stadium in the heart of a busy city completely packed to hear a Nigerian speak.

Whatever Nigerian Music and Evangelism industries are doing to attract such global audience is quite remarkable. Even shopping malls here play afrobeats on repeat. American Christians stream Selman’s messages gwo gwo.

It’s easy to criticize the progress of these two industries, but extremely difficult to replicate at scale. The world does not gather to watch a mediocre. I tell those who are quick to shout all these pastors. Please start your own. We will attend. We give you 20 years to make it global.

Only a careless thinker would feel the church is hindering progress in any aspect of Nigerian society. The church is NOT responsible for our failures in the Olympics, the empty Chemistry labs in our schools, dysfunctional courier service, Agricultural sector that has refused to resurrect or the crude oil theft masterminded by the government.

I look forward to when a Nigerian professor will fill a stadium in London, Brazil or Sydney just to deliver a lecture. I anticipate seeing “made in Nigeria” brands attracting global patronage.

Don’t just sit around criticizing, go out and become excellent in your own field. Go and create that change you desire to see. It’s possible for every sector to flourish. You sound very dumb when you say the church in Nigeria is the problem of Nigeria. People say there are more churches in Nigeria than industries.

America is a good example that every sector can flourish at the same time.

When Oral Roberts and Kenneth Hagin, Billy Graham were busy preaching in crusades and packing the stadium all over America, the guys at Silicon Valley were building computer systems. Never for once did they blame the church for America not moving forward.

NASA was building space exploration and basketball guys were winning Olympics, the enchiladas at Wall Street were establishing global partnership for their stocks.

Guys in MIT and Stanford university were doing their science experiments…

Everyone was busy building their own craft. Never did anyone blame the church in America for lack of growth.

Sir, the spirit of the anti Christ is resident in you, you just don't know it. The church is NOT your problem.

Lonely individuals seek out concerts and music shows for entertainment, while those who believe in God attend gatherings for prayer and worship. Engaging in these activities provides psychological, emotional, and spiritual fulfilment for people.

When Nigerian musicians travel abroad for their programs, it is remarkable when they sell out big arenas, we gleefully talk about 'em and celebrate. Attendees pay substantial amounts to be part of these events.

However, when a Nigerian religious figure held a successful free program abroad, some people unfairly criticized it.

From a scriptural perspective, it is evident that there are forces that may be opposed to the success of such a Christian faith program. These are clearly the forces of satan and his agents, there's nothing anybody can tell me.

If not, where is this baseless criticism coming from?

Get up and work. Stop being lazy. Hold your government responsible. You elected them to make your life better. The church is not your problem.

Igbo bu igbo

Konquest:
She was originally born 28 years ago in America, so, as an American citizen born in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 29, 1996 she is FIRST eligible to REPRESENT the United States NOT Nigeria.

So, Nigeria DIDN'T fail her. If she had NOT worked hard to get that silver medal, then she would ONLY have had herself to BLAME. All Nigerian-Americans youths should first work hard to get into the U.S. sports teams and compete for positions by PROVING themselves. Most of those young Nigerian-Americans who tried to DIDN'T work hard enough to get into the U.S. sports teams, so, they came to see how they could represent Nigeria instead. Working harder is the way to go. Period!

The Texas-based Tobi Amusan who is the current Nigerian World Record holder in the 110 metres hurdles is at least guaranteed to get Nigeria an Olympic gold medal. If not a gold medal, then in a worse case scenario, a silver or bronze medal in her sports category. So, we'll see how things pan out.

You certainly don't get it. Your first line shows you don't understand the gist.

If the headline was an An American born Nigerian wins gold for Nigeria. You position won't be same.

More and more appointments.

While over head costs keeps going up

The FIRST American woman to medal in Olympic hammer throw! 🥈

Annette Nneka Echikunwoke has made history.

She came to represent Nigeria in Tokyo 2020, but her dream was ruined by the body in charge of athletes. She and 12 other athletes were affected. Nigeria was not able to pay for their drug tests so they were not allowed to participate.

She switched allegiance to the USA, and today she is an Olympic silver medalist.

She didn’t allow Nigeria to kill her dream.

Congratulations NNEKA

Annette Echikunwoke, Africa’s Hammer Record Holder, Gives US Olympic Glory After Nigeria Failed Her

Annette Nneka Echikunwoke, the Nigerian-American athlete who holds the African record in the hammer throwing event, earned an Olympic silver medal for the United States on Tuesday after switching allegiance from Nigeria.

Echikunwoke had missed out on an opportunity to participate in the Tokyo Olympics hammer throwing event in 2021 because the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) had failed to conduct drug tests athletes were required to take.

“On my 25th birthday, I was officially informed that I cannot compete at the Tokyo Olympics due to the negligence of the federation I was set to compete for,” Echikunwoke shared on Instagram in July 2021.

“I can’t even begin to explain how heartbroken I am. It honestly feels like a fever dream. To think of all the hours of throwing sessions, hundreds of hard lifts, all the moments when my body aches in pain and reminding myself ‘it’ll be worth it’, just to keep pushing on, sacrificing time with loved ones… and all I’m left with is this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. This has been the most mentally and emotionally exhausting time of my life.

“To be clear: The [Athletics] Federation of Nigeria did not go through the processes to set up proper testing for us athletes. They left us in the dark about this whole drug testing issue until the last minute where we were left helpless. We cannot let anything like this happen again to athletes, devastating dreams and crushing opportunities.”

She threw the hammer as far as 75.49 metres on May 22, 2021 at the USATF Throws Festival in Tucson, USA, and the attempt set a new African record.

She had provided her whereabouts to the AFN six times as requested, but no one from the federation came. Jumper Ruth Usoro, thrower Chioma Onyekwere, sprinters Chidi Okezie, Favour Ofili, Tima Godless, Yinka Ajayi, Glory Patrick, Rosemary Chukwuma and Knowledge Omovoh all shared the same fate with Echikunwoke in 2021.

Another organisational failure forced Ofili out of the women’s 100-metre sprint event in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Echikunwoke, born in the US to Nigerian parents, chose to compete for a place in the US team afterwards.

The Olympics website recognises Echikunwoke as a 2022 World Championships hammer throw finalist and the 2024 US Olympic Trials hammer throw winner.

Echikunwoke was the 2017 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Indoor Championships national weight throw champion. She held the school record in four of five throwing events she competed in while at the University of Cincinnati.

Tinubu is in a dillema,


If half of what has happened in the North in the name of protest was happening in Eastern Nigeria.

Army would have flooded the East. The instruction would have been kill them all. Wipe them off.


For the North, Tinubu is seriously sweating. He can't order kill them all in the North, that will mean, 2027 is gone forever.

That might also mean that he can't control the after mat.

HelRufai is smiling now. wishing it continues till government of Tinubu goes down

Go girls

9iceprince:
So do you know how many people a gun can kill, think twice and stop misleading those who can’t think on their own,.. by the way do you participate in the protest today

How many did gun kill in Kenya, How many did guns kill in Arab spring. Bullet finishes after a while and the man shooting knows he is a dead meat. Just think and know that only a fool with 200 bullets start shooting at 10,000 people. You can't win

This protest looks like it will be peaceful till Blood thirsty trigger hungry police men kills one person then it escalates.


The police should just provide cover. If it escalates, the elite won't survive it. Our police and Army put together is 600k service men.

Bad guy.

The man was on air 2 days ago warning opponents to accept the election result. and that he will accept the result whatever is the outcome

Typical of dictators when they have engineered outcome.

Why will you be testing a shark for drrugs though

what we prioritise in NIGERIA is shocking

I'm sure no politics involved.

When people Funkify their first names abroad. I fear them. They are either into something dodgy or up to no good.
at other times its inferiority complex embedded in them by colonialism

British Prime minister is called Rishi Sunak. Pure Indian name. It did not stop his destiny from shining.

Only black people are so low that when they travel, name must either change or be funkified in other to belong.

When did Shade become Sharday. Left for her, she would have changed her last name too

ClearFlair:
Ronu people would have voted against it so they can be doing anyhow. Anyhow people 🤣🤣🤣

What is the colour of your madness biko nu

Akuko uwa

Na who they catch be thief.

All banks in UK are housing stolen money from African and Middle East leaders. What could be more terror than that Africans are suffering while UK banks keep receiving stolen fund from public purse

Hypocrisy is some people's first name.

They can't be forgiven by heaven.

people cursed GEJ in 2012 when petrol went to 140. 12 years later. absolute silence from same people.

cowardly shameful

solve abuja corruption and Nigeria's problem is solved

period

Hmmm

Once you compel people to seat at home you have taken away their right to free movement.

This one didn't know today will be last day

Our problem was totally solved with that old anthem being returned.

So says the Baterians

SuperEagles:
Exactly, criminal Jews were also hiding among the Jews back in Germany when Hitler carries out the Holocaust n no Jews was talking about Jews harbouring criminal jews n ball other foolish nonsense your obidient ipob head can conjure.

It takes the level of a foolish n pathetic reason as pathetic as a combination of both ipob n obidient to reason so foolishly like a lunatic the way you just reason n bragging about it.

This thing really pain you oo. E pele oo.

You can go and join the fight

Idaytesj29:
With the Tons of bombs 💣 , shellings and booms used and deployed already, how many hostages has the terrorist Hamas leadership released to Israel?

Going to a year now, with all the fighter jets and Bombs, they are yet to defeat a rag-tag hardly armed Hamas but has heavy civilian death tolls.

Isn't it time to start re-evaluating strategies? But getting back the hostages isn't the aim, but claiming more lands by decimating the Palestinians and building more fence to make the lands theirs.

Well, Norway, Spain and Ireland will recognize Palestine as a state and Israel is losing support. It will get to a point that other countries will block US arms shipments from passing through to continue the genocide, wonder what Israel will do when thy finish most of their arsenals, and the Palestinians are still there, Hamas has not released hostages nor surrender bor their numbers decimated. I bet they will have to reason like humans and go to the round table to share and divide the lands under the UN leadership to bring lasting peace.

Bros, does it look to you like Israel give a flying Bleep about what anyone says or does. Recognition by those countries means nothing by the sense of it. Before it gets to where you are talking about. The task will be done. Israel and indeed any nation can buy arms from black market.

Next time tell your brothers that revenge is determined by the avenger. You can't measure how far the person will go. Hamas didnt think October 7th through. Unfortunately. Israel is more stubborn than they are

Why is no one talking about

1. Them harbouring Hamas

2. Hamas using them as human shield

3. Hamas firing rockets into Israel even this week.

4. Hamas still has over 120 hostages and you want Israel to stop. You are mad. If its your papa they are holding will you say stop?

If i know that once i turn back, my enemy will come for my head. I will finish you.

So Israel can't turn back now. Its too late.

I went to a birthday last weekend in UK. Nigerians were spraying dollars and pounds. Oyibo no send you. Just dont commit fraud.

EFCC has left their core duties which is financial crime to chase petty things. Sad
