There’s money in Nigeria!

oz4real83:
is it not a shameful thing that a country of over 200 million people can't produce a quality team that could defeat DRC Congo even if all their squad is filled with ineligible players?

I wonder o

It is even shameful they are hoping on this.

Nigeria can produce quality team if lobbying and brining is removed during team selection process.

That Mr A plays in Europe doesn’t mean he’s a better player than Mr. B who plays in Nigeria.

Seun:
Hello,

In the interest of shining a spotlight on the coding talents on Nairaland, we are conducting a series of challenges.

The first one is a 3D Ludo Game challenge. This requires you to use AI to help you create an enjoyable Ludo game in a single html file using three.js via CDN to display the game in 3D. The Ludo rules are up to you to decide but must be made clear to the users.

Steps:
Develop the game as specified (single html file) using git for source control.
Push the source code to a private github repo before the deadline.
After the deadline, make the github repo public and post it on this thread for assessment.
If you touch or make any change to the repo after the deadline, you'll be disqualified.

Tips:
Use a powerful AI Like Gemini 3 Pro (free on Android Studio) for planning.
You will be graded based on everything that makes your game superior to other entries.
Such as the features (very important), code quality, UI, and the sweetness of the game.

The prize for the best entry is N250,000. The runner-up gets: N125,000.
The deadline is 10:00am Nigerian time on Thursday, the 18th of December, 2025.

Good luck!
Seun (Founder, Nairaland)

Any nigerian government at any level should not be in any business ! We are a callous and fantastically corrupt people. Even if Otti works well and makes it profitable another gkvernor will come in and ruin it if the people managing it don't do so before .

This your comment made me remember Donald Duke’s time. How’s Tinapa and Obudu today?

Misplaced priority, unless Otto wants to settle the owner.
Once government acquires such a private enterprise, it may begin to depreciate. Workers attitude will change and so on

Maybe he could have built a new one

What's his source of income for bragging of owning a 150million shoe? OH! I forgot he is just a pulpit bandit holding his congregations to ransom .

Should he be taxed now, some people will protest.
How can someone have a 150million shoe?
Anyways, it’s not possible, unless he’s really greedy

I am delighted to learn of this development from my governor, who is responsive to our needs. Upon completion, it will give the Onitsha metropolis a revamped appearance. The 33-Nkwelle area is Onitsha's counterpart to Lekki, a high-end district with numerous estates in Anambra State. The dualization of this road will considerably enhance investment attraction and reduce the exodus of our people to Asaba. Furthermore, it will increase traffic for Onitsha residents utilizing Chinua Achebe Airport Umueri, and that corridor will become a significant economic stimulus for Anambra State. Thank you, my governor, as we are building a robust economy and a mega city state.

So if Adeleke should win, the other candidate will go to court.

UkoAnnang:


Most of these lectures are in secret cult and they hate someone preaching the gospel in campuses. If the check and investigate well una go find out say that lecturer wey harassed that boy na seadog na them dey at the helm of affairs in Rivers State institutions including UNIPORT

Are you a kid?

There’s time for everything!
It has nothing to do with being in a cult.

Bernadette9:
You'll see a so called educated adult human being clearly assaulting another adult human being that he's meant to educate yet people would come out to criticise the one that is being assaulted.
Normally in a place that things work, the lecturer would first be suspended before any investigation begins.
Tell me, what is the use of your education, if you must use violence on someone that is meant to be below you in the hierarchy of things.
The useless dvc should be ashamed of himself.
Even if the student is/was wrong the lecturer has better ways to discipline the student instead of behaving like shamelon.

In the video, there’s no place that showed the DVC beat the student. If he did, it is condemnable!
However, the student was also wrong by using the lecturing hours for preaching, and the verbal assaults to the lecturer.

YoungLionken:
I see some cowards up there saying otherwise..

The inability to stand against oppression is the primary reason why the "now disgraced country" is upside down today..

Nobody wan kpai but we wan go heaven...

Will you keep Quiet! (In Patience voice)

The student is also at fault!

Why are people not seeing that.
You see students (freshers) in a class and you move in to start preaching. Who told him some are not studying themselves or doing assignments?
Can he move into a final year students’ class to start preaching when no lecturer is there?

Maybe he’s seeking to be known or something.
Are Fellowships are done after school hours?

Port8080:
There ought to be an investigative panel before arresting or prosecuting the student.

Lecturers see themselves as demigods in Nigeria public universities.

First of first, what was the student's office that warrant a lecturer slapping him?

Even after investigation, the lecturer may be served query because of the physical assault, but the student may be rusticated because of violent verbal conduct against a lecturer.
Unfortunately, the student went against the University regulations

Host78:
E go hard for situations to put me where I'll argue with the DVC o.

I understand it's the new rave to be rude, mannerless and to challenge everything rudely.

But some battles are better won by stooping. It's also wisdom to know when to keep quiet.

I think a lot of people have lost this wisdom.

Regardless of how things turn out, as a young man, if things start getting out of hand, keep quiet and observe.

You can't win certain fights. And even if you win, the victory won't be worth it or as much as you thought it'll.

You deserve some chilled drink!

You are wise!


The former DVC is wrong, if he truly hit the student. I didn’t see such in the video.
But for the student to be shouting and raising hands/pointing fingers is disrespectful. He is still a student, and should learn certain things.
Does he think preaching to first year students during lecture hours is right?

Kelle443:

A Rivers State University student has reportedly been detained following a heated confrontation with the Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC) that went viral online.

In this video, we break down everything that happened — from the moment tensions escalated to exclusive eyewitness accounts revealing what really went on behind the scenes.

Was the student provoked? Did the authorities overreact? Watch till the end as we analyze the footage, reactions, and the latest updates from the campus community.

There are rules and regulations in every University

Lecturers shouldn’t beat students,
Students should insult lecturers


In the video, who is the student? The guy on white Trad?

Looking at the video and from OP’s narrative, the student might have been using the lecturer’s time for preaching. OP said the lecturer is a Physics lecturer, and the students are computer Science students

Is it proper for a Student/pastor to use the study or lecture hours to preach in class?

And was he disrespectful to the lecturer or raising his voice on him?

Why was the lecturer there that time?

Usmanovic95:
Don't we have good Europe based goal keepers? These should not be the best goalkeepers a country of over 200m people should boast of.

You are one of those killing the Homebase players’ dreams.
Enyeama came from Nigeria.
Why must you shop for goalkeepers from Europe?

Kreesxxx:
So no home based players is good enough to make this team? You go to Europe to bring players to play against Africa based players. People who do not care about their legs. People with raw strength and energy. Ready to play 120 minutes no rest.
If you want to win an African team use a team modulated and synchronized with home based players.

Home-based players don’t have foreign currencies to lobby.
If Iwobi should bring 20,000 pounds , how Homebase wan bring 40 million naira to lobby for same position?

samwash:
Where's that our captain, who captain the last AFCON squad.
I can't find his name, somebody tell me what happened to him, abi the guy don retire?

He’s not in form.
His exclusion is welcomed

judewrites:
I wonder the kind of magic the NFF want coach Chelle to perform....

The West Germany team that won the 1990 world cup was a result of a team kept together from 1986.

Yes individual brilliance can win a competition, but it's extremely rare... rather team work.

You made a good point.
And it’s easier to keep people together when the selection is not influenced externally
It seems playing in any club in Europe is a criteria for selection.
There’s no way you won’t find a Homebase’s player who can replace some of these players playing in some of these European clubs

NFF should organise a friendly between these selected team and NFL selected best 11. Let’s check something

robosky02:
I hope the boys raise the bar to perform

Because if they were still in the world cup race
Every body will fight to impress

This selection is a bad reflection of the Nigerian’s league.
Not even a single player is from the League.
NFF should do better and give ‘hungry’ boys chance. They will want to give their all, and not some of these ‘big’ men who can pay the manager’s salary comfortably
Iwobi should be out or he retires honourably. A player like him will not be missed, and his absence will not be felt

robosky02:
Notable omissions from Super Eagles’ final FCON squad


Maduka Okoye, Arokodare, Aina and other


Maduka Okoye
Stanley Nwabali's wrist and ankle injuries meant the Udinese goalkeeper finally had his chance to reclaim the number one spot for Nigeria heading into the AFCON tournament.

The 26-year-old has also had a run of games for Udinese lately, keeping two clean sheets in his last eight games, unlike Nwabali, who's yet to play for Chippa United since the November International break.

Still, Okoye was not a part of the three goalkeepers chosen by Eric Chelle. Nwabali, Amas Obasogie and Francis Uzoho were preferred.

This man sticks to his words.
The fact he wasn’t pressured by the Social Media to include Okoye shows he’s not influenced by Social Media analysts

Emmabyte:
Lol, The man is ready I swear

😁
Only his face will scare any bandit!

Adewale1603:
this man is old and has a dead look. He looks weak and frail

You should know an irony when you read one

Don’t take everything seriously

APCNig:
Yahoo boy on the pulpit wants to scam Yahoo boy in government. Let’s see who is the better scammer

The governor was waiting to hear/read the amount

Imagine 120million for prayers

Nigerians should wake up

LGA Chairman In Akwa Ibom Shows Off “Necessary Equipment” He Provided For The Security Unit To Fight Insecurity.

The X post by @obaofph01
satirically highlights Ntiedo Effiong Usoro, Chairman of Essien Udim LGA in Akwa Ibom State, presenting basic items like machetes, raincoats, gumboots, and torchlights as "necessary equipment" for a local security unit combating insecurity.

This provision draws widespread online mockery, as the gear appears ill-suited for confronting armed threats prevalent in Nigeria's Niger Delta region, where vigilante groups often face better-equipped criminals.

The viral thread underscores ongoing governance critiques in Nigeria, with replies emphasising the equipment's inadequacy—such as machetes versus rifles—amid rising calls for federal support in community policing.

Please OP, can you move this to Joke section?

Thank you

20-year-old lottery winner decides against $1M lump sum, opts for lifetime weekly annuity in hopes of buying a home

A 20-year-old Canadian woman named Brenda Aubin-Vega won the Gagnant à Vie lottery in Quebec and was faced with a choice between a one-time $1 million payout or $1,000 per week for life.

According She chose the weekly payments $1,000 every week.

The weekly payment isn’t just a gimmick lottery rules in Quebec often allow winners to pick annuity-style lifetime payments. In similar past cases, other winners have also chosen the weekly option.

To dear nairalanders, what's Ur thoughts about her decision, does she make wise decision or financial blunder?

If you are in her shoes, which one will you pick?

If she has other sources of income, then this is more of a life insurance.

She can also take loans with it
