Dem no dey tell person, after seeing what his countryman passed through in the hands of Napoli. Atalanta too should quickly wrap up the deal and let the player go and join his new team. Selling clubs are being very greedy during this transfer window. €4.5m per year is a bit low for a player of Lookman's caliber tho

Napoli should be a no go to all NIgerians!

They don’t need to tell any Nigerian player that!

AMINDA:
By declaring his interest to run for president, Datti Baba Ahmed has thrown his boss, Obi under the bus.

as he should. Obi is a fraud! Datti is the man Obi pretends to be. Obi feels at home with the coalition because that is where he comes from. Datti on the other hand could not hide his disgust at the coalition meeting we saw.

in the end Obi will throw Obidients under the bus and accept VP slot. thats who he is a fraud without character, principles and morals.

Datti is the man Obi is pretending to be.

Obi is part of the corrupt system, Datti is different. I have always felt that Obi and Datti will part ways las las!

Ibos h@tred for Tinubu and Yorubas is on another level, even Buhari didn’t get as much h@te from them during his presidency. There’s no going back on this

Yet they crave yoruba names and want to be indigenes of yoruba land. Imagine the nonsense!

When Lere Olayinka said Egbon Dele Momodu should either teach yoruba or be an ifa priest people thought it was an insult.

See the photo book publisher o!

simpletons are easily deceived. Celebrate when the state is created.

Not a single state will be created!!

bigots calling others bigots. thats their modus operandi. I hope with the indigines bill people can now see through them. if you like dont borrow yourselves brains as they say!

why does an ibo man want to force himself as an indigine of benue, Jos, Calabar, Rivers, Lagos, Oyo....are you not already Nigerian citizens? tomorrow they will start to say ibos originate from jos, portharcourt, Markurdi, Ibadan, ife etc etc.

Even The Scotish dont claim to be English, nor do the irish claim to be Welsh. Americans dont claim to be indigines of America. Americans and Australians recognize the aboriginees, the indigines of the lands. But Emeka wants to claim Oyo, Ngozi wants to claim to be an indigine of Lafia, how?


but these people are always trying to distort history because they have none and have destroyed their land and now they want to take over other people's land which they will destroy the same way they destroyed theirs.

i found this bit funny

"Nasir El-Rufai, who is backing candidates contesting federal constituency bye-elections under the SDP."

fake news. the joy of the ibos did not last very long did it?

after using govt money to buy house in your company/brother's name while governor. abeg nobody is falling for this pretentious nonsense. People like him represent the worst type of humans. At least Wike with full chest said yes he bought the rolls royce himself, as oppossed to some other "i dont like money messiah" who collected rolls royce from a contractor who didnt execute the contract. He doesnt pretend to be what he is not. When they asked him if he is corrupt, he didnt insult our intelligence by saying he isnt, he said everybody needs money and nobody has convicted him.

this man collected local government council funds with no accountability for 7years and 9 months and now he is trying to play saint because he "rejected" a house? Local government FAAC allocation is 75% of what the state gets, if a state gets N10b, the LG will get N7.5B. This is why Governors dont want LG autonomy. Nobody beams their torch on LG funds so now imagine one man collecting 75% of a state's FAAC allocation for 7yrs 9 months without any accountability...and you think he cares about a house? you can steal up to $100m in one term as a governor just by diverting security vote and LG allocation and nobody will point a finger at you...its the easiest money to steal! have you ever heard anybody be it governor, or Lg chairman or councillor charged talk less convicted for stealing LG funds?...exactly! Nobody focusses on LG funds, its the easiest money to steal and it is almost as much as the state's FAAC! I am sure you all heard about the N250m cash every month.

omenka:
It is becoming clearer with every passing day, who the real leaches are.

And now their agenda is to pass an indigene bill that will give them political access to other people’s regions while preserving the homogeneity in their failed regions.

They also want rotational presidency. So they will now disguise as indigenes from SW, SS and NE.

CPC or the so called Buhari votes are NE + NW. NC was never a Buhari stronghold. In 2023, Tinubu only got 3.7m votes from NE + NW.

The Buhari “12m” votes was fictitious and had already been decimated. 1) like all figures pre-BVAS, that 12m was a product of rigging, importation of voters from neighboring countries and writing of results. ) for example the serial 2m votes from Borno before BVAS did not even register 1m in 2023. In reality the figure for then Buhari vote is more like 8-9m. In fact checking the results from 2019 confirms that Buhari only got 9m votes from the NE+NW compared to the 10m he got in 2011 so already electoral reforms starting with BVAS had already been filtering the padded figures. 2) the Buhari vote has already been split by members of CPC who worked against Tinubu in 2023.

Those in CPC who were against Tinubu have already decimated the CPC vote in 2023. That figure of 3.7m is the lowest It is going to get for Tinubu.


People are talking about the CPC vote as if it hadn’t already been decimated in 2023!

Brenbentondiaz:
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks a lot for the comedy interlude. Do you have any other joke in your repertoire. You lot can't surprise me again.

The problem with Ibos is that they believe they can talk what they want into reality by repeating it over and over again.

Atiku is running, the coalition was created for Atiku, Atiku left PDP because Wike forced him out. The Northerners and every other member of ADV is prepping for an Atiku candidacy, ADC is Atiku.

Come to terms with this reality because in a 2 horse race between Obi and Tinubu, all the people you see in the coalition wil desert Obi and the election will be over before campaigning even starts. Obi is a junior partner, his role is as VP candidate and that’s all he can ever get. Prepare your minds for and get used to the fact that your only choice is to vote for Atiku.

As for the 12m Buhari votes, it has already been decimated in 2023. Tinubu only got 8.7m votes in 2023. You are using old data! Tinubu got only 3.7m votes from NW and NE, the so called Buhari votes. It will not get lower than that, if anything he will get more than that in 2027 because Kano is now in play .

aswani:
Peter Obi is ready to lead anytime he is called upon. As long as you pipo nor mind say Obidients don abuse una taya bifor.

This thing is not by propaganda or by gaslighting. He should show leadership in his party first. Buhari has been showing leadership decades before he became president. There is a reason he was drafted into politics because even outside politics he was already seen as a leader by his people.

Tjra:
God bless the soul of the late President Muhammad Buhari for doing Nigeria a great favour.

Who else noticed insecurity in the Southeast has reduced drastically since Nnamdi Kanu was caught and caged?

It reduced when Obi became a presidential candidate. They simply shifted their focus to Obi.

They are the same people you call Obidients today! Wolfs in sheep’s clothing. Mark my words, they will be back in 2027 with their agitation when he loses and they realize Obi can never be presiden!

Eriokanmi:
Our national hospital was designed to cater for such medical needs but today, it's become a shadow of itself. Another facility in abuja I know well is a state house clinic which aba kyari splashed a whopping sum but Buhari's daughter had to pay for ordinary syringe while her mum had to wait endlessly to have xray done cos the machine wasn't functional. A Paediatric wing was once shut down due to lack of equipment.

What amazes me the most is the unpatriotic behaviour of these so-called leaders. Past leaders before the apc came, still tried in equipping government hospitals. Since apc took office, it's been propaganda upon propaganda in all sectors. The other day, a whole UPTH didn't have ordinary water and babies died in large number due to this. Who will be held accountable? Only God can judge that. As if that wasn't enough, UCH and LUTH had power issues for several days, during which a lot of innocent lives were lost, those who couldn't afford London clinic. Anyone who looked at buhari in 2015 would guess he had cancer. The prolonged stay in the UK suggested that he was undergoing chemo. We have great doctors and hospitals who could have taken care of that back home. Why spend so much on hospitals when little or nothing would be achieved from it? Guys please quit smoking and alcohol. I won't expatiate.

This reminds me of the novel i once read,entitled The Man Died by Wole Soyinka After all the wastages of the poor masses, he still died there eventually, while most of the poor masses he cheated with healthy life are still alive. I'm so happy God exists and He's no respecter of persons. Everybody will be judged according to their deeds. Sadly, this is the time he's supposed to be enjoying his retirement. Ask the likes of obj who travels freely enjoying himself. He'd tell you how fun life means in retirement. You don't enjoy when in power and that's why they look so depreciated quickly. You enter with fully dark hair but leave grey-haired.

I was discussing this subject in another thread. One reason why our public utilities are delapidated is because our elite don’t use them. The blame is not totally on the elite. Let me explain

An elite goes to a Nigerian hospital and he finds an ember of staff has leaked his medical records, details of his illness, photos taken of him leaked to the public. So he goes where he knows his privacy will be respected. We talk about Nigerian doctors being the same doctors they encounter abroad. But ask most people who have fallen victims to medical malpractice in Nigeria, most of the time the problem is not down to the doctor but the after care…the nurses and the medical staff!

It’s the same with our educational system and all other aspects.

With education we say let’s increase fees so that all of us can send our children to state schools in Nigeria and all of us can get good education at home. The masses will protest. So the elite send their childre n abroad because they know you cannot deliver good education for a booming population with the funds available to government. No country with our population and youth demography has free university education. If universities were allowed to increase fees, the rich would subsidize the poor instead of what currently happens where we subsidize the education of foreigners abroad when we pay foreign fees. Their children get good jobs because they got good degrees and have jobs waiting for the , the masses who protested fee hikes graduate and can’t get jobs because employers know their degrees are mostly worthless.

Same thing with fuel subsidy. We were paying cheap petrol to burn all the petrol on bad roads and spend 5 hrs on journeys that should take 1hr. The elite started buying jeeps to navigate the bad roads and flying private jets. Now that subsidy is gone, more roads are being built!

So the masses are part of the problem too. For a public system to work the elite must have a stake in that system. Public services cost money, if you chase the elite away from a system because you protest over fee hikes, it’s the masses you hurt mostly because the elite will not lower their standards and will always find a solution for themselves.

We need a constitution that’s halts expansionist tribes in their tracks.

There is nothing like a “Nigerian”. If you think I am wrong what is the language of a Nigerian? Exactly! There is nothing like a Nigerian language!

We are an amalgamation of tribes. We need a constitution that recognizes the tribes and protects the different tribes from expansionists!

All these attempts to define a Nigerian citizen and define indigenes by where you are born is part of the plans of the expansionists.

The ethnic nationalities must be respected and preserved whether you are yoruba, Fulani, Ibo, efik, Hausa etc. Being a Nigerian means you a right to move freely and live and work anywhere but it should not give you the right to tell me what to do or organize myself or subjugate my culture in my house in order to accommodate you.

Antoeni:
Appointing a former military ruler’s son to head a major bank raises more than a few eyebrows. Nigerians deserve appointments based on merit and expertise not legacy or influence. This choice should be weighed more on competence, not connections.

Getting to the top both in Nigeria and abroad is down to politics and connections in both the public and private sectors. Because the job at the top is a job of connections, relationships and politics.

The best you can hope for is that entry level at the bottom of the ladder is a level playing field.

Hhh4444:
Do not give me that crap of increasing tuition fees. Are you aware that a lot of the top people in Nigeria today enjoyed free education during their time?They enjoyed free meals and other benefits while they were studying. Today the story is different and all you you can come up with is paying higher for education.You are part of the problems we have in this country.

Oga no problem, go and test your degree in the job market. Those who went to quality universities get jobs many of them even before they graduate.

People say there are no jobs, you will be shocked at the number of vacancies that go infilled such that many companies employ foreign remote workers or employ expatriates. There are no jobs for you because your degrees are worthless. My sister has a law firm, she told me they employ foreigners for some of their legal work because Nigerian graduate lawyers have poor English and you cannot trust the results of the work without going through it yourself defeating the idea of employing them. They are not the only ones, while you are there with your Nigerian quack degrees looking for work, a lot of work is outsourced to countries like Ghana, even Ukraine because employers who insists on quality can’t trust the average Nigerian graduate. It actually costs them more than paying a graduate say N1.5m a year but they would rather do that because the hm grown graduates are sloppy or poor educated.

That is 5e reason peppers asked for a masters degreee, not because you need a masters degree or a bachelors to operate a camera.

I,m done. Quote me again and I block you

Hhh4444:
what are you even saying? So you would rather sit in an ac office and carrying files with 150k salary than become a camera man that earns 500k. What is the color of your problem?

know graduates that earn 1.5m starting salary in Nigeria some companies even more.. They didn’t go to your universities. You learn garbage, you. Earn garbage! Educations costs money, you say no! No problem, what you see in the job market when you graduate, you see!

Personally I have no sympathy for you people because it is people like you that protest fee increases that cause others who understand the value of good education to send their children abroad and the associated risks and stress and upheaval that come with that. I went to a top tier university in Nigeria for my 1st degree, I would like to send my children to the same university but I can’t because of hediots like you!

I feel no sympathy for the Nigerian with a masters degree applying g for a cameraman job. Because when the government tried to raise fees so that all of us rich and poor can get a good education here at home like it was people like you who protested! If you had allowed government to raise fees, the fees of the rich would have subsidized the poor but you heard fee hike and ran to the streets with your placards! Again what you see you see!

There is no country in the world with a population like ours and a youth demography like ours that offers university education at such a paltry cost. That’s why we attract the worst lecturers and produce quack graduates.

Hhh4444:
what is your motivation of applying for a job? Is it not to earn salary that is worth it? Is a Camera man job with salary of 500k for msc holder not worth it?answer these questions sincerely and you will stop blaming peller.

Why bother going to university when you could have spent 6 months of your life learning the skills of a camera man?

KaLuCh:
Guy, You're not really making a point as valid as you believe. The flaws in your argument are as follows;

1. He's not educated enough to employ an MSc holder. Like yo! Wtf! Who are the largest employers of labour abeg? Scholars? Nope.

2. The fact that graduates responded to his job posting reflects poorly on our education system. And your premise is that MSc is too high for the job of cameraman. Again, clueless. Go check for the range of degrees available with photography and learn.

3. That he wanted an MSc holder as an employee means he doesn't think that an undergrad is intelligent enough for his purposes. Holy anger dey catch me on your behalf.

You wrote all these with the self-righteousness of a Pope. But you're just really betraying how uniformed you are even though you have a good command of English language.

1: This again is a reflection of your poor education. I never said he wasn’t qualified to employ a graduate. What I said was that a non graduate employee his brains such that he is employing a graduate. There is nothing he does a graduate can’t do but the Nigerian universities filter you abilities to engage your brains and think outside the box.

2: again he requested for an M.Sc. being a camera man has nothing to do with a masters or a bachelors. If you are properly educated to secondary school level and are skilled in the use of a camera that’s all that is required. Abroad you will hardly find a camera man who went to university. The reason you need not just a degree but a masters here is because many of the degree holders lack basic intelligence and the ability to think properly. The masters is not for the job but to filter out hediots…..of which there are many in the graduate population.

3: you don’t need a degree Faro be a camera man talk less a masters. The reason he asked for a masters (and many employers now do) is because they no longer rate the typical Nigerian graduate. Not for the subject area but for basic critical thinking skills and intelligence.

Education costs money. Good education costs even more. If you protests against the government raising fees, a government will say ok no problem. It is when you graduate that some of you will realize you wasted 4 years of your lives. All the people in power today got free education because the government could afford it at the time. Population growth means they no longer can. The same universities they attended here, they won’t dare send their children. You are the ones who protested, so what you see you see!

KaLuCh:
Omo kip kwayet abegi. You think the largest creators of employment are mostly scholars? Omo. What do you know of the world you live in? You dey here dey blow empty grammar. Wtf! A young man is trying to give employment to a worthy person, you wey never employ ant before for your life carry long post full NL dey preach wetin you no get clue on.

He didn’t employ them did he, he used their brains for his own skit…..says a lot about the brains of graduates of our universities. Made money of you by subjecting you to ridicule and cashing out with views yet he still didn’t employ you.

Again your post shows what is wrong with our education system. Garbage in garbage out!

It is a testament to what even non-graduates feel about low quality products of Nigerian universities that a boy who didn’t go to university stated a masters degree (not bachelor’s masters) as a requirement for a cameraman position and yet you all turned up. It means he has had enough encounters with the typical Nigerian university degree holder and believes they are unintelligent and needs to screen them with an additional masters degree requirement, again all for a camera man position. A position that has nothing to do with whatever you read in University.

i hope they told him the court is not a place for rolling on the ground. then again na person wey employ Dino as lawyer get problem.

University of Maiduguri was established while Buhari was governor of the North East region.........many dont know this. he overswa its initial development. he was also the 1st governor of Borno state!

chukwutee:
Celebrate victory for the Nigeria people against a terrorist! Good step in the right direction !

another 3 months added to his sentence! he go dey there e go tey!

whenever a judge sees him and his fendi is still white, the judge thinks this one hasnt spent enough time in jail.

Although I am not a fan of designer clothes with in your face branding, this is why you should buy quality clothes. You don’t know if you leave your house you will end up appearing in court for the next 4 years with the same clothes.

His Fendi seems to be holding up well! Lol

The mockery is that you are a graduate waiting to be employed by someone who isn’t a graduate for a job that demeans your level of education.

The mockery is that we are producing glorified exam crammers. People programmed to regurgitate facts in examinations, not people programmed to think and engage their brains. you should be employing pellar not him employing you but your education has dulled your brains while he was fortunate not to have gone through the 4 walls of the brain dulling system called western education in a Nigerian university. I said it somewhere while discussing income taxes, most mechanics, market women, taxi drivers, electricians etc, make more than professors! in my day a professor made 10x these people...yet you think these latter day professors are adequately qualified or motivated to give you a good education? that you cant work that out itself shows you werent educated to think.

This is adequately reflected if you examine comments on Nairaland by supposedly educated people many of whom are graduates!

Some will blame the govevrnment. I don’t totally. If the government tries to raise school fees to raise the quality of education in these universities, they are the same people that will protest. You get the quality of education you pay for. If your professor is only earning N300k a month, you aren’t getting good education because no professor worth his salt will sell his services for N300k a month.

There is no free lunch, you want fuel subsidy? Ok no problem.... you burn all the subsidized petrol on bad roads that take 5hrs for a journey of 1hr and damage your car. You don’t want to pay requisite school fees, ok no problem.....you end up with a degree that only qualifies you for a cameraman job for someone who didn’t go to school.

Life is about choices! The man who struggles to send his child to a quality fee paying university is not a full!

Don’t mind the full they have been obsessed with yoruba and yoruba land since the days of Azikwe. Even his handle betrays the obsession with yoruba land. Such an insecure people giving themselves yoruba names in real life to blend in as part of their stated expansionist objective.
