Then they should not bid to host the world cup if they cannot adhere to some compromises. Were they not aware that the world and football is like this before making a bid to host a global event?
This world cup will be very problematic.

Maybe you didn't read the article. Alcohol banned around the stadium. Meaning that Alcohol drinking areas have been provided for and it does not include around the match venues

ArinzeAnthony03:
Ok ooo, I no blame them, I blame those who gave them the right to host this tournament.

Because they were given the right to contest thrn they should throw away their values?

Dude, that's not a secondary school.

Enterprising capabilities:...

The youth are the majority in Nigeria. How's that reality reflecting in the economic situation in the light of the above?

Good. so based on this "the suite of skills, attributes and behaviours that allow individuals to engage in and contribute to the economic well-being of society", kindly explain How does nigeria have a population that isn't enterprising?

Which economic growth have you driven?

MikeofAfrica:
It seems you are a lady because a guy would have understand my point.

Baby girl, please I am not against you getting married early neither am I discouraging your man from proposing marriage to you.

I am only advicing our men to regard their carrier and making money as their primary ambition in life . This will make life easier for their future wives. Marriage should be a secondary ambition.

My carrier for instance is writing. I saved my salary for four years and used it to publish my first book in London. Today, the royalty from that book has made me very wealthy.

I can decide today to marry five wives and have twenty kids! I have the money .

If I had used that savings to rush into marriage and waste it in hosting a wedding party, I would have still be a salary earner today.

My wife would have been nagging every day complaining of poverty.

I invested my first savings into my carrier and God used it to bless me. The seed germinated and took me to the top.

This is what I mean by " Carrier first before marriage".

Offpoint. Pls what is "carrier"?

pls tell me, are there no married men and women in Africa and across who are married and successful? are the successful people in the world today unmarried?

DeOTR:
Because we have a population mostly of young people who should be the driver of economic growth, but are missing in action? Care to explain why?

You still haven't answered the question. How does nigeria have a population that isn't enterprising? has thed meaning of the word enterprising changed in the dictionary? Which economic growth have you driven?

Agbegbaorogboye:
I'm not trying again. I've already answered.
If you can't get it with that simple explanation, then any other response I give will just burst your brain cells.
So go and find somewhere to rest your brain. Then try reading again when you feel mentally giddy.
Goodbye

Still doesn't answer the questions.

What has beating a child and letting him cry got to do with the discussion?

What's my business with his reason? You are the one questioning tinubus choice of running mate. so why haven't you gone to ask him why he chose shettima?

Since you know what christian principles is, can you pls tell me what they are?

If you aren't confused, how you will vote for a Tinubu who is a Muslim under the condition that he chooses a Christian running mate but will not vote for him because he chose a Muslim running mate?

If you feel Tinubu is good enough to earn your vote, why then are you complaining that he picked a Muslim as his running mate?

How did Tinubu deny a Christian the right to succeed a Muslim?

You and who agreed that power should be rotated?

Agbegbaorogboye:
It's your job to spot the substance since you're asking the questions. If you can't, then you should take a dive left.
As long as you can't spot the substance, repeating the question is like a dog barking at an orange on a tree. It won't make the orange fall!!

All these haven't answered the questions. If you dont write substance, there will be no substance to be spotted. Pls try again.

KennethEnyi:
So U rather do all these than ball out in Dubai or Paris or London?

You still haven't explained how everything you listed are liabilities

KennethEnyi:
School fees
Food
Medical bills
Health insurance
Clothes
Vacations
Care and love
Plus the disrespect they give u if u don’t raise them right

How are all these liabilities?

AntiTerrorist:
Always standing on the fence. It is your followers at the bottom of the pyramid that I pity.

If Tinubu had chosen a Christian running mate, would you have voted for him?

Wiseandtrue:
If you are neither hot nor cold, God will spot you out!

Our God is not the God that sits on the fence!

Are you saying that Tinubu would have been worthy of christian votes if he chose a Christian running mate?

Agbegbaorogboye:
If you can't spot the substance, what then is the point of asking for it?
It amounts to a waste of e-space and time.
I will not dignify ramblings coated in the guise of sound inquest.
Again read and comprehend. If you find faults, raise it. Else, move on

There's no substance to spot. It's not my job to help you identify the substance in your answer to a question. Pls try again.

You keep missing the point. Marriage is wonderful , every man on Earth suppose to get married one day and have his own family.

However the problem is young men and women have turn marriage to their greatest ambition on Earth. No man or woman with that mentality has achieve greatness on Earth.

How can a young man of 30 yrs earning a salary of less than #100,000 start thinking of marriage. Can't he delay the thought of marriage for few more years and try acquiring more education that will improve his salary or even use his savings to start a business.

He will eventually get married when he becomes financially stronger and has laid a solid foundation for his carrier.

If we see marriage as the greatest achievement on Earth then we are the same as the amajiris in the north who can sell all their inheritance at an early age so as to marry a young girl of their dream.

I haven't missed any point. You didn't answer the questions. Which one is "carrier"?

pls tell me, are there no married men and women in Africa and across who are married and successful? are the successful people in the world today unmarried?

Jman06:
Ok, do you just wake up and get married just like that, without money, jobs or personal business In this part of the world

You haven't answered my question. Who asked you become a "suitable marriageable man just so you can get another individual who would become your 'companion' in this world so full of people"?

MikeofAfrica:
Two friends , James and Paul, graduated from the University of Lagos same year. They did not get their dream jobs after school hence they both began teaching in a private school in Lagos.

James was still determine to get his dream job in an oil company. Hence he saved his salary for five years and proceed for a PG course related to Oil and Gas. He passed the course and later got his dream job.

Mainwhile, Paul who graduated with a better grade at UniLag got married while teaching at the Private School. He spent a lot of money in organizing a wedding party that meets his wife taste.

Paul also had to rent a better apartment .
After the marriage, his wife's two young siblings moved into his apartment. Even though his wife was paying her siblings school fees, Paul was responsible for their feedings and other needs. Nine months later, his wife gave birth giving him the main responsibility.

Hence by the time, James enrolled for the PG course, Paul was interested but had no money. He has to kill the dream to meet his family responsibility.

I hope you can see how marriage before fulfilling your purpose on Earth can prevent you from fulfilling your purpose on Earth.

sorry i dont "see how marriage before fulfilling your purpose on Earth can prevent you from fulfilling your purpose on Earth". you told just one story of two guys and you think it is a basis for condemning marriage across the whole earth made up of 7billion people. pls try again.

Which one is "carrier"?

pls tell me, are there no married men and women in Africa and across who are married and successful? are the successful people in the world today unmarried?

Africum:
Listen to the full speech of H.E Peter Obi at the commissioning of the fly over bridge in Portharcourt today.

So when they ask Wike what he did in rivers for 8years, he will say he built flyovers? Is it only flyover that is needed in rivers state?

DeOTR:
Population becomes a problem only when a huge part of it is unproductive.
Majority of our population are young people. I know it would be a lot easier if our government provides supports, but should I say, we have a population that's highly unskilled or not enterprising?

How does nigeria have a population that isn't enterprising?

Jman06:
But does that purpose even make sense to you

Why do I have to toil day and night to become a suitable marriageable man just so I can get another individual who would become my "companion" in this world so full of people

If the purpose of marriage doesn't make sense to you, why do you think it shouldn't make sense to me. If you don't want it to make sense to you, that's your choice. Like I said, when folks like eventually get in and start failing at it, you start blaming the marriage.

Who asked you become a "suitable marriageable man just so you can get another individual who would become your 'companion' in this world so full of people"?

Jman06:
Marriage is an achievement only for the ladies. It gives them the opportunity to dump their problems on their husbands.

You see even a jobless lady running her mouth anyhow for her husband who has to go out even under the rain to make money lest hell would be let loose by jobless madam.

If not for the love of children, many men would not get married and even those who mistakenly marry would run out in a short while. But children are something else! Once they are there a man is greatly motivated to work harder and make more money to keep them taken care of and happy.

People like to deceive themselves that marriage is about companionship, but that is never the case. Many men would rather prefer the company of friends than that of women.

Marriage is for things that you say it isn't for. The fact that certain people use it the wrong way doesn't change it's purpose. That's why the late Myles Munroe said "when purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable". Don't blame marriage for not working. Blame people for not knowing the purpose of marriage. Someone like you doesn't understand it's purpose. By the time you get in and start failing, you will start blaming the marriage

MissLAP:
Please show me one wealthy man today in the world that became successful without a woman?

In Nigeria today, I can bet that 80% of finances in homes today are from the woman in the house, politicians exempted.

Please stop peddling false narratives here, if you don't want to get married simply and quietly remain single.

How did you arrive at your conclusion "that 80% of finances in Nigerian homes today are from the woman in the house"?

KennethEnyi:
Children….which are in itself a liability

How are children a liability?

MikeofAfrica:
The issue is that in Africa where majority of the young men see marriage as an achievement, they spend their youthful days thinking and working for marriage.
Hence once they get married, they feel fulfilled and have no future ambition.

Mainwhile, their counterparts in Europe and America who are not passionate about marriage are daily thinking of how they will break new grounds in business and science.
For them, marriage can even be neglected if it will become a hindrance to their carrier.

Out of these two categories of youths, which did you think will be more successful in this world?

Which one is "carrier"?

Marriage is an achievement anywhere in the world. There are many successful married men and women in Africa and in the west so I don't know where you got your theory from that marriage hinders professional success

Ajehkpako4naija:
you sound like a pained person. Don't deceive yourself bro. Marriage is an achievement. It distinguishes MEN from Boys. A married man of 25 years with a kid is more respected by nature and the society and more honourable to God than a 40yrs old man still jumping from one skirt to the other shying away from responsibility. Get that into your fragile skull.

Marriage is an achievement but it doesn't distinguish men from boys. There's no hard and fast rule to it. Are there no married men who don't give a dime for family upkeep? Are you telling me that there are no married men jumping from one skirt to another? Was the late Ataga not married when he was sleeping with chidinma, a school girl young enough to be his daughter? so he was "responsible" and respected by God because he was married?Keep all this responsibility bullshiit for one side as if marriage automatically confers on a man or woman the status of a god.

Abi1985:
Na marry you marry, don't come and be disturbing those who are not married. Just because you marry today does not mean you are better than those who are not married.

Please do not let your friend wedding oppress you, some married people are suffering and smiling. They will not tell you that the wife they marry na Jezebel associate or a runs girl or the husband they marry is a womanizer or an abusive man. They will do one big wedding today, then 9 months or 3 years later they divorce.

Personally I enjoy weddings because I can eat some correct food.

If your people are asking when are you getting married? Tell them when you do not want marry a Jezebel or a wicked or selfish man. Because after the wedding, you are on your own.

Na so they arrange one woman from village for me to marry, I just dey laugh and ignore. I enjoyed my bachelorhood, please let me enjoy my life. I do not want problem.

Marry when you want marry, do not let anyone pressure you to marry or who you will marry.

Your heading and your write up are saying two different things. If you are concerned the way some married folks like to flaunt the fact that they are married or the fact everyone keeps asking "are you married" and putting unnecessary pressure on you, that's understandable. But to say marriage isn't an achievement, you didn't give any point to support that claim

Agbegbaorogboye:
I have answered your questions. That you don't understand my answers is not my problem.
Go back and read my answers till you understand. If you have any other questions then I'll be happy to oblige

Don't mistake verbosity for substance. Pls try again.

What has beating a child and letting him cry got to do with the discussion?

What's my business with his reason? You are the one questioning tinubus choice of running mate. so why haven't you gone to ask him why he chose shettima?

Since you know what christian principles is, can you pls tell me what they are?

If you aren't confused, how you will vote for a Tinubu who is a Muslim under the condition that he chooses a Christian running mate but will not vote for him because he chose a Muslim running mate?

If you feel Tinubu is good enough to earn your vote, why then are you complaining that he picked a Muslim as his running mate?

How did Tinubu deny a Christian the right to succeed a Muslim?

You and who agreed that power should be rotated?

Orukomeno:
Shettima a known Boko Haram apologist
El Rufia son goes around cursing Christians and other tribes on Twitter
Gajduje a known extremist
Lia Mohammed who tried to suger coat Deborah's killing

from what you saying, your political decisions arent influenced by christian values. if that is the case, whats all the wahala and noise about who tinubu chooses as running mate?

Based on the above, how is tinubu better than Gajduje,Lai Mohammed,El Rufua and Shettima that you say are a turn off for you?

Agbegbaorogboye:
You brought Christian principles into the discussion. So you should be familiar with what they are before bringing them up.

Since you put it like that, why don't you ask Tinubu why he wants people to vote for him on the condition that Yoruba lokan or Emi lokan.

If Tinubu feels the presidency is a turn by turn thing, why should he deny there Christians the right to succeed a Muslim and not only that, totally yank them off the ticket.

Like I said, I can vote Tinubu if he were not playing the divisive politics of religion, but I won't be a party to pall bearing for Christian presidency or Vice Presidency. If we agree that power should be rotated, rotation is based on need for inclusion. Why then the exclusion of Christians??

You haven't answered my questions.

Llight101:
Islamization is not just by Tinubu saying I'll not do this. Those of us that have heard from those before us and are still experiencing what has been happening in Northern Nigeria for decades now, we know all this plans.
This current Government has shown us enough that should be visible to the blind and loud enough for the deaf. Look at all the appointments made. How the Government fueled the killings in Plateau, Southerner Kaduna, Benue and Taraba. We all know who the killers are, their religion, target and believe system. Or should we talk of Shettima and his BH venture?
The fact on ground is that the Government is supporting them. When they attack even is you call the Army, there won't be a quick response even though most a times they're been informed of movements and suspicious planned attacks. And funny enough the Government is always mum.
I see people giving funny reasons simply because maybe their tribes Man is the one contesting or maybe because of ignorance.
But if you've lost relatives, friends and properties you'll understand.
Tinubu is having a balanced family by Him. Why can't he give Nigeria same. Muslim Husband, Christian Wife and Muslim president Christian VP.

You are complaining about this govt. Is buharis vice president a Muslim?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Lol. What manner of disjointed reasoning is that? You want to beat a child and also tell him how he should cry?
Maybe you should ask why he chose a Muslim as his running mate initially? I hope you're not so gullible to believe it's a purely political decision.
And it's obvious you don't know what Christian principles is. Or what is Christian principles and what is religious sentiment? Is there a difference between the two? You seem confused
