Karlovych:
So in order words you are in support of favouritism when deciding who represents the country, should European clubsides stop signing Nigerian players because they deny a native an opportunity to represent their boyhood clubside. Your first paragraph has nothing to do with football likewise most of the things you wrote especially the one concerning marriage to white women, which is a very ridiculous comment. I repeat the best players should be regardless of where they are born or grew up in as long as they are Nigerian citizens.

the education you got was through your parents favoring you because you are their child but they could also have donated to a charity that helps less privileged boys and girls get educated.

the entire backbone of europe ( mostly en:gland, fra:nce, sp:ain, portugal ) is their African colonies so it will be full blown wickedness to not sign African players, that's like asking why there are so many players of African descent in the French national team...

which race, ethnicity a person marries from is very important, especially an African man/woman or a black person.. when successful black people marry outside their race or ethnicity its takes wealth out of their race or ethnicity and indirectly gives it to the who the successful black person is marrying..

I repeat the best Nigerian born and bred players must be favored..

If companies that picking Nigerians who graduated from foreign universities ahead of Nigerian graduates in Nigerian universities, Nigeria's unemployment rate will be terrible...

Karlovych:
So if they want to represent Nigeria, the coaches shouldn't even think of considering them according to you because they are less Nigerian. You really need to change the way you reason and teach those children the importance of hard work rather than privilege. Last time I checked anyone with a Nigerian passport has every right to represent the country even if they are born on the moon, there are lots of players of Nigerian origin in UK academies that don't eventually make it to the highest level despite all the so called privileges. Almost every single one of our current players started their professional careers in Europe, are they less Nigerian than the ones that started their careers in the Nigerian league?

edi287:
They are all "our own". Simple. The best players should be invited to the national team regardless of where they are born.
Tell the NFF to improve the league and grassroots football instead of blaming the wrong people.

Super Eagles is not a charity case. That goes for both homegrown and foreign born players.

Omanambala is right, the best players born and trained in Nigeria ( e.g. Iheanacho, osimhen, uzoho e.t.c. ) should be favored... Nigeria needs a lot of Nigerian born people sending money back to Nigeria and improving the lives of their families which will indirectly improve the economy of the states their relatives are in...

A lot of the foreign born players are of no economic benefit to Nigeria and their ethnic regions.. A lot of them end up marrying whyte women and this removes money from the African/Nigerian community and encourages symbolic progress.

Remember it was local players like odegbami, okocha, kanu, yekini e.t.c that gave Super Eagles the good reputation and high rankings..

if Nigeria was ranked 98 in FIFA rankings and qualified for world cup once in a while would the foreign born players want to represent Nigeria

look at basketball, how many born and bred in Nigeria players are in the B'ball team How many of the foreign born Nigeria basketball players have basketball academies and families in Nigeria that they send money to How many foreign born players have houses in Nigeria

SavageResponse:
Indigenous companies do not have the deep pockets or patience required for big ticket projects. They can only manage marginal fields.

it wasn't you I quoted and even if it wasn't you I quoted you still didn't finish reading my comment.. especially where I said "how can you judge and conclude what indigenes will do when they haven't be given a chance"..

for indigenous companies to have deep pockets and patience they need to start from somewhere and most importantly they need to be given a chance...

would you be happy if you own an indigenous company and you're getting ₦20million contracts and then another company that has never done business with you but sees that you've been doing the ₦20million contract well and offers you ₦50billion contract but people from the community where your company operates start saying your company cannot carry out a ₦50billion contract because you're an indigenous company?

SammyChi1988:
Britain, your time is over in Nigeria... Nigeria breakup is inevitable. Biafra restoration is very sure.. No 2023 election...

They are indirectly telling Nigerians that they will disrupt the 2023 election and allow northern Nigeria military takeover.

venabili:
I am actually a Nigerian.
Now we both "know" if indigenes do move in, it wont be well educated nigerians but "the others" who will likely be acting as a front for Nigerian politicians.

Secondly, Nigerians are now running the power sector. Quite a few of them are actually well educated. Will you consider the last 7 years of their efforts a success? If not, what makes you think they will do better in a highly demanding business like Oil Exploration and Production?

power sector is a part of the economy that requires the use of gas from eastern Nigeria and FG has not invested in gas from eastern Nigeria until recently in the ajaokuta kaduna kano gas pipeline...

one thing you must understand about Nigeria and I don't understand why the southern politicians act dumb and dull is that until a northern Nigerian starts the business no other person can go into it or until northern nigeria get 24hr power then no other part of Nigeria can get 24hrs power..

Once dangote refinery is complete and other refineries in the niger delta are completed that's when you'll see improvement..

there are already indigenous companies doing exploration, in fact, if not for the civil war and colonialism foreign companies like sh:ell should never be in Nigeria sending profits back to the U:K and h:olland...

in summary
As long as its owned by indigenes then the profits stays in that state and from those profits will come social responsibilities to that community...

right now, sh:ell's social responsibility is to the U:k and H:olland...

venabili:
I beg to differ. If indigenes develop their community, nigeria would have been a better place today. Of course you can point me in the direction of any major projects done by a local owned business.
And not like desmond own o

Quite frankly, if local players move in, the business will be rife with corruption and mismanagement. Additionally, the communities will not get any more judgement pay since we know rich nigerians know their way around court cases. And when penalized, they simply refuse to pay...

people like desmond are inconsiderate and elitist.. he just wants to do something so that people won't say he didn't do anything... I can't even say will he have done better if he had more funds...

you have a negative mentality concerning Nigerian enterpreneurs so I doubt you're a Nigerian. if indigenes move in , the business will be successful and if its not successful the community will have improved because indigenes will want to impress the community.

how can you judge and conclude what indigenes will do when they haven't be given a chance.. I mean university educated indigenes and not the likes of t:ompolo, as:ari d:okubo e.t.c.

JohnBullMySon:
Offshore fields belong to no state. It is known as Nigerian waters. Nobody lives there, abi them dey born anybody for sea ?

Majority of the oil spills are caused by the Niger Delta idiots breaking piplines. Even the Niger Delta people are wicked to themselves, some of the guys behind militancy and oil theft struck lucrative deals with Shell, How much did they give their people? When a Nigerian is crying corruption, it's because he's not the one commiting it. Shell is going, now who will pump the oil for the thiefs?

Edibless07:
The main problem is that the are supprise to still see the Niger Delta region still under developed dispite the oil beeing pump out on daily basis.

BodyChief:
If this talk is eventually sealed then it's a big loss to Shell but bigger loss to Niger Delta in regards to revenue and economic benefits on all sides.

Shell as a business venture cannot be blamed entirely because at some point in business analysis on income- expenditure ratio and associated risk must be seriously considered.

Niger Delta equally who bears the brunt has the right not just to life but good, quality life through the natural resources in their land and water.

Nigeria as parent host should not sit idle at the expense of the loss of lives of the people through environmental degradation while feeding fat with no sustainable, wholistic efforts for all individuals devoid of selective egocentric tendencies for their gains.

Las las we need them, they need us; let's talk more.

oil spills in Nigeria can be caused by any one from any part of the country... its up to the indigenes to arrest and prosecute vandals... another problem is the oil company is owned by foreigners and not any of the indigenes..

indigenes will have more passion to improve the infrastructure of the communities.

you guys are not serious...


if you can't decode what the snippet from the main post below means then read my summary after the main post.

Health16:
Speaking at the company's annual general meeting, CEO Ben van Beurden said that Shell can no longer be exposed to the risk of theft and sabotage.

"We cannot solve community problems in the Niger Delta, that's for the Nigerian government perhaps to solve. We can do our best, but at some point in time, we also have to conclude that this is an exposure that doesn't fit with our risk appetite anymore," van Beurden said.

"We've drawn that conclusion, and we're now talking to the Nigerian government on the way forward."

In summary:
Only your fellow NIGERIANS can solve it...

i put nigerians in capital because BodyChief made a comment of Nigeria been the "parent host" but in truth Nigeria is not the parent host its the Ijaws ( if its in Bayelsa ) that are the parent host.... now replace NIGERIANS with IJAWS...

the major problem people like you guys have is you expect a person from a different ethnicity to help develop the infrastructure in Niger-delta region... look at Akwa-ibom most of the infrastructure was built by the state govt ( meaning people with the same ethnicity as indigenes in akwa-ibom ).. that's not how the world works..

seunsiju:
I'm so happy with this news, this should happened in a country where rich is getting richer and poor is getting poorer.... Residents of Lekki and Island Lagos always flaunt wealth at any given opportunity.. Its a good riddance to bad rubbish, meanwhile the only mistake those UGM make is they should have start from Ikoyi it housed most corrupt individuals in Nigeria...Bourdillon precisely tongue

you're filled with hatred...

rich people employ poor people which provides jobs for poor people, rich indians in Nigeria will employ their fellow indians. rich Nigerians will employ their fellow Nigerians which means rich yoruba person will employ his/her fellow yoruba people...

so if poor Nigerians are getting poorer then it means rich Nigerians are also getting poorer because for if the rich nigerians are getting richer they will need to employ more people to maintain their riches and this will lead to high rate of employment...

if rich Nigerians are been killed and kidnapped then poor Nigerians are in serious trouble because the rich person's family can decide to close down the killed rich person business and move abroad then the poor Nigerians who once worked for that rich person become jobless and end up poorer...


in summary:
only a Nigerian can empower another Nigerian ( change Nigerian to the ethnicity you belong and you'll understand why unemployment is high)...

VersatileVee:
Good evening bosses,
while doing what I love ie.brainstorming...
I found out an unregistered trending premium domain name: NFTsWire.com. on April 28th.. unregistered, I went on hustle to get money to register it, I strived, got it, came back on 16th of May and some one has already registered it, when? On Saturday 15th of May. What a shock, what could have been a life changing for my family, my poor grand Ma, my guys around. Since then I've been guilty,felt worthless, depressed, not my self, thinking...why didnt I at least give it to some one to register....why did I have to be so selfish and hopeful that it will wait for me...
I'm really tired. I still got more premium unregistered nft domains but that was the shortest and first .
Can't forget...even before then I registered a FoamForBed.com domain I found on ED. To see if I'll get money from it and register all my stored domains...
But nope I'm not good at ED domains or investing but in brainstorming...
Broke right now... think about being broke and missing a glory, a life changer...what is more depressing?
I got talent but can't source out income from it...
Just don't know what to do..
I still got more brainstormed premium and non premium sensible doamains both in Geo and NFT. I even have two unique tier 1 and tier2 unregistered premium female names which i just submitted to squadhelp.
But got no money to register them yet meaning some one might get a hand on it again.
I want to give it out to my follow Nigerians at least to free my mind.


If you see any one that interest you and you care to give me a tip to help me. Thanks alot.

I'll be posting them after I get a response. They are in screenshots, let me type it down....
Thanks to you all and please help tell baba God mek him remember me say e don tey...
More sales...

(..sad..)

nftwire is different from nftswire, unless you can show me where nfts sold I would say nft is better..

nft is a trend that may fade out, so you can't say a domain name is "life changing"... what if you buy it and it doesn't sell..

domaining is not a get money quick business, and with the pandemic happening people aren't buying domains like before the pandemic..

if you feel your names are good then keep them to yourself because another person may already be thinking of the same name like what just happened to you.

I have thought of premium names that have seen some NL users submit to SH and it was approved and I have two others within april and may that were most likely submitted by other NL users and I never checked this names on domain name buying website because sometimes you can check for a name on go/daddy and in 24 hours that name will be registered with go/daddy as the registrant.

Blueelf:
Isn't immobile still there?

They may still favour him over onuachu

its not "they may still favour him", they will always favour him because his Ita:lian, same way Eng:land favors their players..

for you to even say "they may still favour him" means you can easily be manipulated to throw a person with same ethnicity as you under the bus...

GENES11S:
In truth, your idea is not realistic in Nigeria. To solve a problem, your solution need to be at least realistic.

Common to RESTRUCTURE Nigeria u c the kind of tusule going on. Now you are talking about full blown separation.

Knowing fully well the unemployment situation in the country where almost everybody is into business.
If SOUTHERNER cannot run retail business elsewhere aside SOUTH. Then what will they be doing there?.

If a Northerner cannot run business elsewhere beside NORTH, then what will they be doing here?.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL COME OUT AND SAY LET NIGERIA DIVIDE. That would be a better solution...but again it's not realistic.

Forget Ghana..Ghana is like a state in Nigeria. Their problem na small-scale problem.

what I said is similar to what mamaafrik said. mamaafrik wants southerners to buy cattle from only southerners and if that's mamaafrik solution then this your quote will also come into play:
"If SOUTHERNER cannot run retail business elsewhere aside SOUTH. Then what will they be doing there?.

If a Northerner cannot run business elsewhere beside NORTH, then what will they be doing here?."

if southerners start patronizing only southern businesses quietly then northerner businesses will die out and they will gradually leave the south.

mamaafrik:
Massive indigenous cattle rearing and breeding in the South is the key to exterminating them

GENES11S:
That's just the simple answer to this problem.

that's not the answer... the answer is to do what Ghana did to Nigeria that Nigerians ( other Africans ) can't operate in retail business...

southern Nigeria has to say northern nigerians can't operate cattle rearing, farming e.t.c in the south and that will also ensure southerners who have businesses in the north will have to bring their investments to the south because the north will implement its own.

note: southerners already rear cattles..

EmperorTolson:
Guys, pls ignore this guy cos the news is fake and there's no such place as Osun town. It's only Osun state that exists and is capital is Osogbo.
Moreso, The commissioner of police in the state is Olafimihan Adeoye, Google can affirm it.

But what do this guy tends to gain from this?
I think you deserve to serve some jail term.

My point is, I think Mane thinks he is a kind of a legend or superstar, he is very stupid. He can only do that to Klopp. Very stupid boy. I don't even know who he thinks he is.

he is not stupid he needs to learn to be happy for the team and also talk to a psychologist on how to be happy for the team.... its human nature to think selfishly ( about oneself alone )..

Isaacmacdon:
Hey fellow SH domainers.
I'd like to get your thoughts about this stage of registration.

Do I have to put my profile picture?
Likewise my country and street address?

I'm asking as a result of the perception of Nigerians by certain online companies.

you can upload your logo as profile picture...

country and street address is important for when you make a sale and want to withdraw the money, you'll be asked to submit either national ID, international passport or driver license.. the name, country and street address have to be the same as it is on any of those documents..

Gamesmart:
Typical Nigerian graduate!

1. Makes a fooolish statement out of pure and avoidable ignorance.
2. Gets corrected.
3. Instead of accepting the correction, gets defiant and dogmatic.
4. Makes the same (or other fooolish) statement without doing basic research to show "I no go accept".

Complete foolishness exemplified!

https://thetrcompany.com/en/difference-crime-offence/

https://www.lawtonslaw.co.uk/resources/categories-of-offences/

Euro:peans created such difference to protect themselves in their colonies.

There's no difference between an offence and a crime.

Unlike you I don't need to show you something written by an e:uropean just to prove my point.

owobokiri:
I thought we were having a decent discuss. The last two tht quoted me proved they're fighting a tribal battle. I had enough of that for today. How you guys managed to know that the people there are from Enugu beats me... You will be shocked to know that most of those there might be Yoruba..

I did not say anything about enugu.

Humans naturally don't support people that are not the same ethnicity as them.

Everything in Nigeria will always be about ethnicity because we are different.

Gamesmart:
Get it in your brain that not all offences are "crimes".

disobeying the law is a crime. and any offence that involves disobeying the law is a crime.

owobokiri:
Keep quoting the law. Yet the law is meant for the people and not the other way round.. When crimes escalate, you would notice you have created a new problem while solving an old one..
Every serious country has serious provisions for people like that who are ready to work but can't take care of their housing needs with their meager incomes.. low housing units, in some places it's like hostels. Just temporary abode for such people..

some countries have shelters for their homeless citizens, important words here is citizens... many homeless people in Lagos are not from Lagos and are not even yorubas and its not the job of the Lagos state govt and the yorubas to provide for non-yorubas.

ScamHunter:
How sure are you some are not from Lagos? Even if they're not, is it not the same country? The way the government has reused to take care of the almajiri in the North is the same apathy that has visited the poor in the South. Why would a government abdicate the responsibility of alleviating the suffering of the poor in the midst of so much wasted wealth? The question is, why is it that government that would dole out millions for show as seen with the one-legged hawker, not extend the same to millions living below poverty line except that there is no one to praise them? The poor deserve the basics of life like the rest of us whether from Lagos or Kafanchan. That's what responsible governments all over the world are known to do.

ScamHunter:
That they're a nuisance is enough reason to find a permanent solution to their problem. Kicking them off to another part of the city is recycling the problem, not solving it.

since you can afford to buy data for your phone and have noticed a problem... you should also lead by example and help this homeless people by paying their house rents and clothing for them.

why can't you pay their rent for them

ScamHunter:
Really? Taking care of the less privileged is not government responsibility? I bet, they all wouldn't mind their votes if it's election time.
Even Istanbul still has migrants come in every day. What matters in governance is the ability to envisage challenges and plan towards them, not run from them.

they are not the responsibility of the Lagos state government...

Only the federal government can sort out their issues...

ScamHunter:
Laws are meant for the welfare of man, not the other way around. By the way, inferring that they're all criminals because they're poor and homeless is cheeky.

laws are meant to control men and are not "for the welfare of man"...

they are not poor, they have two hands, two legs, a brain e.t.c.. and they can get jobs ( as cleaners, security e.t.c ) to fend for themselves and pay rents...

they are criminals because they are disobeying the law by illegally occupying that place...

someone does not have to hold knife, guns, deadly weapons e.t.c. before they can be termed criminals...

ScamHunter:
I just used those as instances. Are there no Lagosians who are homeless? Every human being deserves dignity of clothing and shelter. I'm not saying that clearing it is wrong. But pushing away those poor people to the elements when there is no provision for them is wrong. The problem we have as blacks is that we have no regard for human dignity, yet we expect other races to treat us better. Kicking out the homeless without making provision for them is evil.

ScamHunter:
Really? What if they're homeless? What alternative has the government provided for them? What if they've been displaced by herdsmen? Every sane country makes provision for the unemployed, the poor and homeless. With the billions stolen by the political class, what have they done for the indigent?

owobokiri:
Easierr said than done. They will simply move to other sections of the city since you don't have any City gate to lock them off. Intelligent reasoning should suggest that the best thing to do is to find low income hostels for them with an expiry period to find a legitimate work and move out..

these people are disobeying the law by illegally occupying that place and they should all be arrested and sentenced to prison but the govt has given them quit notice ( which is wrong ) and that's the least the govt should do for them.

would you say the government should provide strangers with low income wives if strangers come into your house and rape your sisters , mother and any woman in household OR would you prefer that the govt arrests, prosecutes and sentences them to prison

Joysticks:
I wish I was a popular pastor as adeboye.He will not spend a dime for his son funeral and all the cost that a family man will incure over his dead child.Members of his church will foot his bill plus dash am billions join.Buhari and governors go donate.See me hungry wan kill me.I wish I was dead because a dead man no dey hungry.Hunger na another aches on it own.

Toks2008:
Well as one who understands the module operand of prayers in Celestial Church I want to say with every sense of confidence that it was not a premeditated act but purely accidental.

It was pure negligence on his side.

This is a common practise but they are usually very careful with the quantity of perfumes sprinkled on the person they are praying for but I guess they poured too much on him and perhaps the perfumes he used are the very volatile type.

This is an unfortunate incident.

whether it was premeditated or intentional does not matter...

m:urder is m:urder.

the people responsible must be arrested and prosecuted..

Mordson:
I abhor, detest, and despise celestial churches and all other white garment churches.

God bless you. If everyone helps the needy around them, most criminals would be normal citizens today. Government needs to focus on the welfare of the less privileged. Thanks bro, it is the failure of our government that breeds Tue criminal activities in our societies. If we have a working government all this criminal acts will reduce to minimal

it is foolish thinking like yours and weslay that's causing the FG to not prosecute h:erdsmen because some people in government believe the government have failed the h:erdsmen..

failure of government is not the major thing that breeds criminal activities...

the government is also meant to put things in place to arrest and prosecute criminals..

some people can pretend to be needy..
