Let us put sentiments aside...Onyeama is a true Igbo man who means so well for Nigeria.

Please, tell Naija leaders...no matter what this man has done in the US that they are looking for him, they must not release this man like that ooo. We must negotiate on behalf of this gift. This man has found grace with Nigerians that we will negotiate with the US concerning him. This one is a gift for Naija ooo. This man must be protected by all means. US too dey do am for theirs.

Make dem substitute Abba Kyari with this man. Na that one dem suppose release without any wahala.

May God bless this man.

.
I am a Yoruba man and this has always been my position. You can't just release a citizen because some government claimed he violated their laws. Even if somehow they capture him, Nigeria can pull it's weight to get him back. There are some things that you just have to step up as a country and prevent it from happening. These westerners don't mean well for Nigeria. If you study the case well you will see how shitty it is...

Any government that releases Air peace boss to the westerners is a real enemy of Nigeria.

There is no difference!

They are xenophobic, we are tribalistic.
Still no diff.

.
Read what you wrote again...that's the difference.

CandidAdmin:


What exactly is the difference? Just because we haven't taken to the streets to start burning the properties of people that aint from our tribe doesn't mean there's a difference.

Can you see the difference now?

Sir George Taubman Goldie


My Jew radar is going berserk.


When I posted here that Nigeria was a Jewish owned Corporatist state aka Royal Niger with the star of temphan boldly inscribed in the colonial flag some of you called me a conspiracy nut case.

Sir George Taubman Goldie advocated for and got the first corporate liscence of an entire populace.


This is what WEF is calling for - a return to corporatism to replace national governments.

I'd like to learn more bro

All these students loan ‘ish’ na rubbish. The president is soo dumb to come up with such idea. This is not about Tinubu,the party or whatever,this is fact and the fact is,this is a dumb idea.I’m even trying to look at the idea from the bright side but it still doesn’t make sense.


No comment ; next question.

Exactly! I really don't see how it fits into our clime. Anyone who can't afford formal education should learn a trade and start contributing to the economy. Why should you give loans for something that ends up being useless cux where are the jobs!

e be like say chicken don come home to roost earlier than we thought oo
I have checked. na fake news abeg...just beefing things

nairalanda1:


It was not going to normalize, and things would have gotten even worse.

The arphateid government too got under a lot of pressure from its Western backers. Before, when there was the threat of the communist bloc, evil governments like the Arphateid government were able to get subtle support from the West by alligning themselves with anti-communism. Once communisim fell from 1989, that support went and hard questions started being asked. Botha (PM in the 1980;s) was already negoitating with Mandela as early as 4 years before Mandela was released. The wind was blowing in a new direction.

But as I said, it was getting wors.e Black people were angry (read about the injustices, and the repeated attacks on blacks by white run police and army from 1950-90, and you would see why there was so much anger), and many white people were also battering down the hatches (most South African whites are Afrikaans...and many of them regarded SOuth africa as their homeland, and were prepared to fight for white supremancy at all costs). If not for the negotiations and the realization that there was no western backing...

As for xenophobia...every country has xenophobia. Even here in Nigeria...see ghana must go in the 1980s...where several ghanians were chased out on the basis of their nationality. And it was government policy.

Well I am certainly learning a lot from these arguments but I insist on my claims. See, Ghana was quiet different, at that time we were under the military rule and the country was on its knees.
We all know even citizens usually do not enjoy military rulership talkless foreigners, also Ghanians were not attacked nor maimed in streets by Nigerians. SA is quiet stable today, economically and they suddenly remember that SA is only theirs, see many videos online where these guys would say, they struggled for their land and where were 'these africans' when they were struglling?
.
Ironically, these same people who hate their black brothers (who, by the way fought for their freedom from apartheid in cash and in kind) are today, shouting up and down that they are defending palestinians, does that make any sense?
.
Forgive me, I could be making wrong assumptions but I still remember many publications back in my young days that explained and revealed how the Nigerian government, Ethiopian government and Ghadaffi gave lots of millions to South Africa expecially after Mandela emerged.
.
Today, Nigerians are in UK, America and even here in Russia, living large, carrying themselves on the streets as if they own these white countries, but back in SA our very own neighbour, Nigerian envoy has to be telling Nigerians to not celebrate a football win over SA because there could be consequences and you want me to believe life couldnt have been better if the whites still control the place?

nairalanda1:


NO, it would have ended and the good thing was that it ended peacefully, because the injustice that was happening was so bad, it would have reached boiling point if it had continued beyond 1993. Heck, by the 90's there were bombings and threats of racial war...and tribal war.

PLus by the early 1980.s the black people despite being the majority were being forced into tiny bantustans that covered 13 percent of the land.

At some point things got so hot that by 1985, the country was on fire. Had it not been for the coded discussions that had been ongoing for years, first between the black liberation movement and the business class, then the political class, it could have ended terribly.

Let me explain it to you in Nigerian terms. If the white people had stayed in power after 1960, and forced all Northerners to live in Kaduna and Katsina and Kano state, all SOuth westerners to live in Oyo state, and all Igbos and south southerners to live in Enugu state....what do you think would have happened by now?

Arphateid was bad for SOuth africa. Even now, thanks to the policy of denying most blacks specialized higher educaiton, there is a large poor undereducated lower class...which is why xenophobia is a thing.

What did native Africans who supported them receive in return apart from xenophobia and hatred? America and the europeans did a lot of slave trading in the past but it's all bygones now. All those things you mentioned would have ended, how many kids today know of the Rwanda war? The whites were being cruel back then but things would have normalized. These black people of SA just should not be at the helm of affairs. I am being quiet realistic here.

Nature129:
Former President Goodluck Jonathan doesn't look so good in the picture.

He is mourning man. He was even forcing that smile. But you must agree with me that he left Nigeria in a very good state compared to what we have today

nairalanda1:


Palestinian groups supported the ANC during the struggle against Arphateid, while Israel supported the arphateid government back then

This is the ANC paying back Palestine for the support given.

It would have been better for SA to remain an arpatheid state.

This SA keeper na otu ooo na only against nigeria dem dey flex...shows how much they hate us and how much they really wanted to defeat us. Nigeria don burst their juju

R0LL0N:
Sincerely how do Nigerian manage to get to final. See the way Congo are pressing South Africa yet we can’t score fantastic goal or make adequate possession on this bafana bafana

You people are here again...you said the same thing about how we struggled against Ivory Coast all because Guinea defeated them 4-0 football is not 1+1, South Africa played Nigeria as if their life depends on it. They are still in pains...this match, to them is just to fulfill CAF rules.

Imhereagain:


Dumbass Nigeria is the home of ethnic clashes in Africa
From the civil war that left Igbo children headless
To the usual beheading between hausas and Fulanis in the North .
To the beheading of Christian villages in the plateau by muslim herdsmen .
My goodness...the chasing down and beating of Igbos in Lagos during the elections .

The deportation of Igbos from Lagos .
Should I bring images of these to remind you ? .

Hundreds of Fulanis were murdered in the 2006 riots in Onitsha by Igbos ....

Please dare me to bring you more savage stories of Nigerians attacking and killing other tribes in Nigeria .......I dare you

South Africa must continue to pain you people ....even after being rated better than SA in something for the first time....you're still bitter and angry . Chai!

You see how you made yourself the real dumbass? You cannot differentiate between terrorism and xenophobic attacks. Afghanistan was and maybe is still the headquarters of all terrorism I presume, but xenophobia has never been used to describe what happened there.
.
You need to step out of Nigeria to know the difference, for your information, more people are killed in the USA every year via gun riots than terrorism in Southern Nigeria, shocking but check the facts online. Every country has their challenges you should be smart enough to differentiate, identify them if at all they could be solved. This is because differences in motivations for crimes also necessitates different approaches to solving them.
.
Dude step into South Africa and wrap yourself in the Nigerian flag, walk on the street. You will realize quickly that Fulanis and Unknown gunmen love the igbos much more than the SA people loves you.

You seem like someone with an extremely low IQ, your comprehensive capabilities bother the hell outta me. Why I bother to reply you honestly baffles me.

The fact that you replied despite all these nonsense you typed shows that your father is not as smart as he made you believe. Son of a p**G

BBIA:

You didn’t mention the most important one.

The component of their Topography. Altitude.

You are the only sensible person on this thread. Lot's of dullards here, they don't realize the relationship between altitude where you grew up, oxygen demand and how it eventually shapes your endurance.

President Tinubu's latest policy is a big eye-opener and path to u raveling new business ideas in the Fintech sector. I predicted this about three years ago and now we are at this stage. It's actually going to get worse.
.

Over the years I have worked on a tech solution that could bring dollar/naira exchange rate to 1$ equals 500 naira for international payments.

In fact I presented this idea to a UK based guy I found here on Nairaland. He was amazed but he tried to steal it.
.
See, the naira situation will continue to get worse for a long while before it starts to stabilize again.
.
When I was trying to leave Nigeria, I had this big trouble with getting dollars...I went to the drawing board...Abokis were offering me 800naira per dollar (this was as far back as late 2021)
.
I went to my drawing board, designed my idea, tested it and was able to get about $2000 at around 425N/Dollar. Ideally it could go up as #500/Dollar but nothing more than that even today.
.
.
Needless to say I had to change the money back to naira at the airport to settle some airline deposits, I entered Russia with Naira...as in Naira notes. But I was shocked to find out that as of then, Russian banks accept naira as if it were in Nigeria. Naira was one of the few currencies they recognized.
.
.
Today naira has lost value but think of the thousands of Nigerians in need of Naira to dollar conversion everyday for international transactions.
.
I will be glad to have a serious financial partner to establish this FINTECH. Please not someone trying to grab the idea so they could go ahead and present it to their own VCs and angels abroad so, with respect, I might need to be sure that you are buoyant enough yourself and could be a potential financial partner.

You should be ashamed of yourself. So that is how you do in that part of Nigeria...beating your parents and being very proud of it. You are such a dunce.

You go dey quote small pekin out?

The 🤡 called Christcee is a kid and knows nothing about football. Kindly Ignore the 🤡.

Christcee abi wetin dem dey call you, even this girl knows football far more than you. Dude You should be Ashamed of yourself

Funny enough I worked as an intern at Spatark Moscow...I have seen professional football up close and watched professional managers take pro level decisions in real time. You are just a bigot always against your own country and polluting the atmosphere here with your st**pid analysis.

Twenty8:
I don't know why some y'all are complaining about South Africans being xenophobic, when some of you are so Tribalistic beyond reason. At least we don't hear about South Africans going online and calling other tribes alagbado, flat heads or cow children. The only difference between Nigeria and South Africa is that South Africans are xenophobic to other countries while Nigerians are doing it to themselves.

When was the last time someone came to your street and burned all of you because you are different from them?
.
.
I pray you or one of your family members experience xenophobic attacks in the hands of those animals. Then you will understand there is a difference.

aremubabs:




First of all, the South African team was selected from two club sides in the South African premier league. The boys play together every week and are already very familiar with one another.




Second, they were lucky that the referee awarded them a penalty and cancelled Osimhen's goal. Before they scored their penalty, Nigeria was outplaying them.





All in all, South Africa always outplays nearly all the teams they play against. They play beautiful football because they are familiar with one another and play in the top clubs in South Africa.

The person you are replying has zero knowledge of football analysis...I doubt if he saw the match. Nigeria lost a lot of chances too ...Nigeria could have easily buried them

G00dharddick:


Not even goals bro. I'm talking about their tactics of playing. Those guys are damn good. See their passes, shots, attacking etc are all excellent. They outplayed Nigeria by far. Na just luck we take win them for this pk

Abeg shut up nothing like "by far" there. Both teams lost a lot of good chances...Nigeria could easily have buried it 2-0 it could have gone either ways. Appreciate what you get.

simp4rebel:


The amount of goals they would have scored if our keeper wasn't good would have been crazy!

If their keeper wasn't good too Nigeria would put a lot of balls in their net. Poseiro's strategy was never to possess the ball...he doesn't have good players for that...his strategy is to sit back and launch counter attacks.

zhike:


With this kind of mentality, Now I understand why Nigeria is poor.

With this kind of mentality ..I can understand your tears. You guys used all your energy but Nigeria still proved to be better than your fathers.

zhike:
Both of them qualified to semi finals but Nigeria is by lucky.
Bafana have all players that are based in South African league, but most of Nigerian players are based in Europe.

Ediot I hope you enjoy your pain

That chance South Africa just lost will come back to hunt them

Lookman should have converted his opportunity abeg
