No until we move to off-season. June/July

European football is where football peaks and we have to accept it.

You can't be dragging prime time with European leagues, you'll always lose.

The quality is surely there. What we need now is attention

Goke7:
When will it be big enough? Is it until we beg some European teams to participate cos I no understand Una again for this place

it is already big enough but mainly big to Africans and diaspora Africans ..

As for globally big enough, that will require all the currencies of the African countries to be strong and since Africa did not create the global financial system then it will never ever be big enough because the global financial system ensures that most or all black African countries have bad currencies..

TheLoneCitizen:
I made this statement January 2024.

Real Madrid can build a Galactico of Europe's best players.

Can any European team even dare build a frontline of Africa's best players?

Lookman En-Nesyri Salah

Just a frontline.

Klopp did it with Salah and Mane..

Leicester City tried it with Musa and ihenacho.

Leverkusen also have Tella and Boniface..
e.t.c

stanluiz:
Restructure Nigeria if you want it to be productive.

Let every region control their economy, ports, security, infrastructure, education, power etc

FG should decongest lagos by opening other ports and also allow also remove the policy of some certain goods must come to lagos ports.

Enough of depending on Niger delta oil. Enough of this monthly sharing allocation. It makes us lazy and can't think outside the box.

All the ports are functional.

There's a port in Rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

Exceed15:
Sharia law does affect the Rich.. they drink alcohol, smoke, carry different women and nothing happens

it affects everyone...

it's not about whether it affects the rich or the poor because both rich people and poor people are been kid:napped, raped and k:illed in northern Nigeria where sharia is been practiced but sharia has never ever been used to prosecute any bandit or her:dsmen any where in the north.

its a plan to give bandits and herds:men an edge over the SW people whether Yoruba or non-Yorubas in the SW.

its also a plan to give sultan of sokoto an edge over the SW people and make SW governors answerable to the sultan..

its also another plan to introduce terror:ism into the SW the way you're seeing in countries like Congo and even Nigeria where armed terr:orists will walk into schools, churches, houses and kidn:ap, rape and kill people without police attempting to arrest them..

SapaProMax:
Oga calm down. Not everything is tribalism.
The busiest and most functionality port in Nigeria is in Lagos. Judging by the fact that we literally import everything, it is only sensible that these products are cheaper here. Housing is another thing entirely. Not like I agree with the article like that but Lagos is relatively cheap. In business, too many competitors eventually drive prices of services and commodities lower. Food is more expensive in Lagos because the state cannot feed itself just yet even though the government has begun the processes it needs to be able to do so. If we didn't import as much as we did, naturally, Lagos' population will gradually reduce

There's a port in rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

Food is meant to be very cheap in the SE. They also have very good soil for agriculture.

Let west african countries lead themselves..

It is not Nigeria's business whats happening in other west african countries.

CaptainFM1:
Our government should better shed more light to us. Not sure our disaster management agencies and EMS can deal with this "apocalypse" if it happens. What contingency or evacuation plan do we have if this ever happens?

Any info you get on it will be from whyte people even if you hear info from your govt it is what whyte people has told them to say that they will say...

Nigeria Space Agency did not notice the asteriod but whyte people noticed it.. that means the Nigerians Space Agency is a useless agency and it just waits for orders from whyte people before it says anything..

it is D:angote refinery they are targeting.. they want to use nuclear bom:bs on Lagos.

Mrexcell:
Go to museums in the US and see their physical skeletons on display.

those are the work of material engineers and not real bones..

Mrexcell:
Not false huge asteroids have landed on earth before it was asteroids that wiped out dinasors minions of years ago.

asteriods have never landed on earth..

dinosaurs never existed.

efemena5050:
Worthless Nasa they didn't see Abuja where all our problems are situated .....it should HIT ABUJA FIRST..Atleast the president should be taking a nap

Refinery is not there.

Omoapena:
nah lie, make them no intentionally drop atomic bomb on us and call it asteroid, btw, I thought we are under firmament, so how will asteroid get through the barrier....

omojeesu:
Scam!

Man-made "asteroid"

2 of you are very intelligent..

Their target is Lagos because of D:angote refinery.

They want to use either nuclear bombs or atomic bombs on lagos state.

Use shariah on them

Gerrard59:
We produced goods that had high value in the international market before the onset of crude oil exports.

But this your "others are not Black Africans, while we are Black" is very self-defeating, I no lie you. This means, according to you o, we can never be prosperous?

Now you are understanding it.

As a nation we can never be prosperous but as individuals we can be prosperous.

As a nation we are already prosperous but the whyte racists people who control the global currency exchange rate make us poor and not prosperous by giving us racist exchange rate while countries like india are not treated to and subjected to the same racist policies on exchange rate.

English is bad for Nigeria in the long run..

Gerrard59:
While a drastic devaluation is bad for the economy and inhabitants, the major problem we have is that we are not a production oriented country. We don't manufacture as much as India and we still import some produce even when we were once a major producer or actually the number one producer. We produce cassava more than any country, but Thailand Vietnam export more derivatives of cassava than we do. We import ethanol and cassava starch. We imported 20BN worth of palm oil.

A devalued naira would be beneficial once we become more productive. The JPY and SK WON are very devalued, but they are highly productive countries. China still maintains a devalued Yuan. The naira's value isn't the problem, but our production levels.

no matter how productive and production oriented we are and become. it will never change the economy to a positive economy in the global scheme which also means the Nigerian economy will also not change due to the fact that prices of goods are priced almost at the dollar equivalent..

the countries you mentioned are not black African countries and do not qualify to be compared to Nigeria because the skin color of Thailand, China, JPY, SK e.t.c. automatically means they will be favored over black African people and countries no matter how production oriented black Africa becomes.

please stop deceiving yourself that the production levels is the cause.. the Naira to dollar rate will always be very wide....

if we go by your logic then how come in the 1960s without crude oil exports Naira had a good exchange rate with most international currencies despite the low production capacity and levels of that era...

Bwanasaraw:
I wonder o.

They just want opportunity so they can be legally marrying underage Yoruba girls.

not just that but also the herd:smen terr:orism in the SW would mean herd:smen can sue Yoruba christians or traditionalists or muslims who have issues with the herd:smen and the herd:smen will easily win the case with the Yoruba person been sentenced to death or cutting off the hands or legs of the Yoruba persons..

its a ploy to give herds:men an edge over people whether Yoruba or non-Yorubas in the SW.

ValarDoharis:
Those were not countries but communities,
villages and at best kingdoms.

If you want to stay alone, breakaway from Nigeria

communities and villages are called communities and villages because they have less than 70,000 people living in them...

countries have hundreds of thousands or millions of people living in them..

stop exposing your ignorance by calling them villages and communities..

its not about staying alone... its about respecting the culture, lands of ethnic nations...

ValarDoharis:
Humans have been moving since the beginning of time. Why will you confine someone to the locality where they were born? If so, whats the purpose of being in a country?

when black people moved thousands of years ago they did not interfere with the culture of the indigenes of the place they moved to..

before whyte people invaded Africa, the tribes were indigenous countries unlike today where after whyte people invaded Africa most African countries were now have multiple countries within theml..

your real country is where your tribe is indigenous too and not the ones created by whyte invaders..

Gerrard59:
In that case, there is nothing like racism as well. Black people should sit in their countries rather than move to the white man's land then lament racism every 2 seconds. The person I quoted lived in the UK.

There is racism.

Racism created a global financial system that only favors whyte countries that is one of the reasons why black countries can't make enough money to cater to their citizens.

The system is created to ensure black people leave their countries and move to whyte countries.

The major cause of Nigeria's poverty and under-development is the Western institutions that don't want to see any black nation prosper..

It is western influence that made t:inuboooo to devalue the naira which spoilt the purchasing power of every Nigerian.

you guys don't understand their hatred for black people globally especially those in Africa..

india annual budget is ₹48 trillion which is equal to $560 billion ( with a population over 1.4billion people

while Nigeria annual budget is ₦49 trillion which is equal to $30 billion ( with a population of 200million people )..

my point is Western powers claim Nigeria's population is the reason for ₦ Naira's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

but India with a population 7 seven times Nigeria's own is not affected by the same policy that causes Nigeria's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

if you reduce india annual budget to ₹28 trillion similar to Nigeria ₦28 trillion..

india's ₹28 trillion is still equal to $326 billion...

the Naira is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria and Nigerians by the Western powers.

Numerouno94:
Don't u knw the tribalism u guys propagate online is capable of inciting violence offline? Tribalist are not different from a racist. They are both idiots.

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

Gerrard59:
Coming from a renowned tribalist, this is a hypocritical statement. Blacks live much safer lives in white dominated countries than in their own black dominated environments.

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

ValarDoharis:
He is saying the truth. Nigeria tribalism is far worse than racism

only a person living outside their ethnic region will say there is tribalism in Nigeria..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each tribe in Nigeria has its tribal location and region and some tribes have bigger regions than others.

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

RealLordZeus:
They are trying to identify them

most inter state trips have a manifest at the bus stations or bus park they get passengers..

there is no need for graphic images of travel victims to be posted on the internet.

it is pure wickedness and foolishness of anyone to post graphic images online.

That's the work of Police not social media users or Nai:raland..

the pictures are too graphic...

do you see graphic images of whyte people like this on their popular websites

Yankee101:
1.The French are taking over
2. It’s a big shame the naira was so much bigger than the CFA we didn’t accept it back then. You could go to Cotonou with Naira to buy a car
3. APC especially under Tinubu has bastardized the Naira. Buhari was a wreck. But Tinubu is a complete wreckage

F:rance has already taken over.

N:igeria has a French stooge as president.

Don't be surprised when N:igeria abandons the Naira..

From this action, it is safe to say F:rance already have a secret army base in N:igeria.

Jagaban2012:
Why have all previous Northern Fulani presidents commanded respect from the end of their regimes until today?
There is no election in Nigeria that the incumbent president will not call Abuldsalam to come and help the contestant sign the peace accord....and no more political move that wants to be carried out in Nigeria that will not involve IBB...yet he never leaves his Minna residence...but you see Obasanjo go from one country to the next to hustle.

In fact, it will take a long time for the average Nigerian to realize that the colonial master has handed over administration and rule of the country to the Fuulani people.
Except for a few Fulani political and religious leaders, no other regional leader is as revered as them.
You could see Saad Abubakar becoming the lifetime leader of all Muslims in Nigeria, as if he were the most religious and holy Muslim in the nation. Meanwhile, there are Muslim kings in every other region, but he is the Muslim leader of them all.
This does not occur in Christians. Even the emergence of the Pope is determined by law rather than hereditary. If the incumbent sultan of Sokoto and the heads of all Muslims in the country dies, the next person who will continue to be the heads of all Muslims in Nigeria will also be from Sokoto State, regardless of how juvenile, novice, or unreligious the person is.

Naija, open your eyes.
The best solution for this country is a regional government, or true federalism. This unitary system was the ideology of the colonial master and late Queen Elizabeth to control our resources from London. Now that we have gained independence, why are we still tied to the apron of the colonial master and allowing people to be taken advantage of the awkward system of government?
The Niger-Delta territory is the goose land laying the eggs for the country to feed on...yet, the standard of living of the average Niger Delta person does not reflect the enrichment of his or her fatherland....degradation and pollution cannot be avoided in the annals of activities in this region.....

Before the British came to amalgamate these colonies for business purposes, Nigeria was made up of various colonies (Kingdoms, Empires, Communities, etc.). After independence, who are those people in the that continue to exploit Nigeria for business or personal gain.....?

Nigeria was handed over to the i:gbos.

But they still wanted to keep the lucrative jobs outside the igbo region that the british gave them after independence so they started a civil war to keep those jobs but they ended up losing the jobs and losing access to fully profit from their natural resources.

Onyiridike:
I urge you to travel so that you will know that the world is bigger than your ewedu farm.

Igbos go to other parts of the country because south east is already saturated with SMEs and local industries.

Why not find out why FG has ensured that the ports close to SE are not functional. The same reason they joined hands with the North to ensure that Igbo man never becomes president.

South Africa is saturated with SMEs and local industries and international industries which is why South Africans do not look for jobs outside of South Africa.

if the SE is saturated with SMEs and local industries as you claim then i:gbos won't be looking for jobs outside of the SE states because the saturation itself will create jobs to the extent that people from outside the SE will move to the SE to look for jobs so stop deceiving yourself..

All the ports are functional.

There's a port in Rivers state called "PORT Harcourt".

There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port.

An i:gbo man can become president..

Onyiridike:
Foolish Analysis.
If all Igbo businesses are moved to SE, Anambra alone will be richer than the entire SW and North combined.

The VAT you boast of are contributed by Igbos. Your people do not pay tax neither do they do any lucrative business.

Any Yoruba landlord depends on Igbos to get good house rent, same in the North.

You think your forefathers who fought civil war for three years are fools? They know that without the industrious Igbos, Nigeria is dead.
Which tribe imports goods in Nigeria?
Which tribe pays business permit and tax to state government?

In the North, if Igbos are celebrating Igbo day, commercial activity in the whole city is dwarfed. It is as if there is a curfew until they resume back.

Please, I dare you to divide the country. Tell Tinubu to make the move.

businesses are established close to their target market so igbo businesses that move to the SE Anambra will spend more transporting their goods to their target which means they will lose money and gradually go out of business and close down the business.

which is also the reason your ancestors started the civil war because after independence Ahmadu Bello, Akintola were working towards replacing i:gbos who had federal jobs in the north and western Nigeria due to the British favoring i:gbos over other Nigerians...

You said Yoruba people don't pay tax but also call them landlords, Landlords have to pay property taxes every year so stop contradicting yourself.

Don't compare SW and the north. the north does not have the billions of $$$ diaspora remittances that the SW has which also helps the SW purchasing power...

if i:gbos were industrious then the i:gbos won't be living outside the SE and you won't claim to have job in Ogun state and brag about job in Ogun state... you will be bragging about jobs in Anambra not Ogun.

importing is a bad form of trade and it affects the balance of payment of a country.. so bragging about importing goods is pure foolishness..

Irony1:
Oga stop trying to be a wise arse. GDP is an indicator of wealth distribution not population after all Anambra's population is smaller than these SW states. Again note that if IGR is high and GDP is low there is clearly overtaxation or multiple taxation happening also IGR is not gotten from Payee only, other levies from state governments also add to the IGR. Try and minimise lying it will help you.

majority of states IGR in Nigeria is gotten from companies.. others are from transportation fees, advertising fees, state owned airports, state owned companies, state owned tolled roads if the state has tolled roads built by the state government, drivers fees e.t.c..

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports

while

GDP per capita is calculated by dividing total GDP of the country, state or community by its total population

you are confusing GDP per capita and the normal GDP..

IGR cannot be high and GDP will be low

while

IGR can be high and GDP per capita will be low because of the population of the place where the GDP per capita is calculated.

Onyiridike:
And who paid the VAT in Lagos , Abuja and Oyo State?
Yoruba people?
My monthly tax is more than a lecturer 1 salary and I pay it to Ogun State government because I reside in Ogun State.

How many Yorubas live in South East ?

South East alone contributes the highest revenue to Nigerian Breweries but the VAT is paid to Lagos State because the HQ is in Lagos State.

Divide the country and allow SE to go since you consider them parasites and let us see if Nigerian economy will not collapse in few months.

Your job that you claim to pay tax from is in Ogun state and that's why you live in Ogun state.

the market your employers company is targeting is the SW and that is why the company is in Ogun state.

Divide the country and you and other Igbos outside the SE will all lose your high paying jobs because the new countries will pass laws that discourage the hiring of foreigners..

the new countries especially the ones that already have companies will never collapse.

I don't believe that you even have a job where your monthly tax is more than a lecturer 1 salary because you will not make such comments if you really had a job outside the SE states..

Irony1:
The president should know better that you cannot tax your way to prosperity. You guys some months back were talking about IGR, I just laughed at you people, now all of a sudden you know you are overtaxed, when I say it everyday that a state will low GDP and high IGR is a clear indication of overtaxation una no hear.

states get their IGR from employee/payee tax from companies with employees..

so a state with high IGR means that state has a lot of companies with high number of employees..

stop spreading mis-information... it has nothing to do with over-taxation..

GDP has to do with population and nothing to do with taxation..

you have never worked in a company or started or owned a business in your life so you don't understand how businesses and taxes work..
