As of right now, Nigeria is 4th Behind Egypt 🇪🇬, Algeria 🇩🇿 and South Africa 🇿🇦

https://results.accra2023ag.com/wrs/eng/zz/engzz_general-medal-count.htm

Realistically we can only climb one more step to 3rd. Other countries have made so much inroads into sprints and track games which used to be our forte. By the time they reach swimming SA & Egypt will sweep all d medals. And it plenty there.

komekn:
Yes maybe so but it's the Scottish premier League the quality is not top level more like English League one.

He is doing well but there are players in better league of Nigerian origin doing much better.

Pls in here and now, apart from Osi & Moffi, who else. Don't bring in Adebayo cos he is injured. Akor Adams is on a goals famine. Orban is not Orbaning for now. So who are those players.
Chuba Akpom is not lightening up d Eredivisie. Awo is already part of the team, he has nothing to prove again. In my previous post I advocated for Osi to be excused for Moffi. Simon to be excused for Chidera. Omeruo and that Taiminu to be excused for Ogbu & Ifeanyi Matthew in MF. And even a blood in for George Ilenikhena. The writing on the wall is that our strikers are not striking.

Marjoribanks:
Olise is coming home!

Egu, just give Osho starting shirt against Mali. Play him the 1st half, if he is killing it, allow him till 60mins. Start d sub, opari. U don Cap tie him be that. Pls don't use 5mins to do that. The match is in UK, some of the innit boys will be in the stand that day to see how he will be treated. If u can, Meet Tosin again and possibly Olise. Eberechi Eze go use him leg waka come meet u.

Glock22:
This judge has failed.

While I have no pity for the accused, they are not supposed to prove the handover beyond reasonable doubt.

It is the prosecutor that has to prove beyond reasonable doubt, that the victims were murdered.

This law was turned on its head.

No dead body was found. No evidence that they were killed. Naija law na upside down.

senatordave1:
Exactly except to the blind and senseless ones.naira was 1900 but has now decreased to 1500.does that not tell you that with more push,it will appreciate to 1000 by Dec

Max Naira will go is 1200. Compare the exchange rate with other WA currencies. Even when Naira was @ 1900/$. 12cedi which is equivalent to #1200 was still $1 Even till today. I really don't see naira below 1200

The 🇬🇧 UK has landed in second place for the most miserable country in the world.

With house prices skyrocketing and the cost-of-living crisis still in full swing, it's no wonder why Britain probably isn't one of the most desirable places to be at the minute.

Data was collected via the Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) assessment, with scores ranging from -100 to 200.

Scores under zero represent 'distressed or struggling', between zero and 50 meant 'enduring' while between 50 and 100 meant 'managing' and scores between 100 and 200 meant 'succeeding or thriving'.

Out of 71 countries surveyed, the UK took the 70th spot overall for mental wellbeing.

The country has been classified as 'distressed or struggling', after scoring 49 in comparison to the average global score of 65.

Of the people who took part in the UK, 35 percent said they were 'struggling' with their wellbeing.

Those at the bottom of the ranking were Brazil, South Africa, the UK and Uzbekistan.

The study stated: "Overall, the insights in this report paint a worrying picture of our post-pandemic prospects.

"We urgently need to better understand the drivers of our collective mental wellbeing, such that we can align our ambitions and goals with the genuine prosperity of human beings."

Yes, why won't Ngr be at the top. Imam will come on Friday and tell the people that suffering and hard times is the will of allah and everyone believes. Pastor will come on Sunday and repeat that suffering is God testing his people and everyone believes. Let their be a day these sheeples will rebel. Then we will know Ngr true position.

Marjoribanks:
Sadiq is playing well. He started last week and got 7.6 rating. He is starting today again. Nacho hasn't play much, not even in today's squad yet got invited. Don't misunderstand me, I do understand the rational for Nacho's invite. Sadiq deserves his call-up. Dessers has scored few goals here and there but has been generally poor this season.

I hope u checked Dessers numbers. His numbers is not here and there oh.

Princezibk:
Why team below is naah ,,, why not Senegal 🇸🇳 or Morocco ? South Korea , Japan , Austria 🇦🇹 and other top 20 dey there … I’m gutted 😡

I really don't know why we must play Ghana. There is no friendly match once it's Ghana. They will almost be playing as if it's Afcon final. I would have like us to blood in more players into the team. I don't see why Osimhen& Iheanacho was invited. Moffi and possibly Ejuke should have been there instead. Defenders should have been reduced for additional MF Ifeanyi Matthew and additional attacker in Ilehnikena. Ogbu ought to come in in place of Omeruo. But na Ghana we wan play. Gidigbo football thing. Make those Banku boys no wound Osihmen sha. WCQ dey.

TheGoodJoe:
This says it all. You just banter struggling players. Just as you tried mocking Chidera Ejuke and later tried to cover your face.

Lol!!!! Me na only his line I come repeat for am. Sharp sharp he realized that only a fool can use such choice of words. I no fit laugh.😁😁😁. I always look at any footballer the same way I look at people in my line of profession. Some started year's after me but they are already doing better, same way I met some in the ring already but I'm already doing great thing more than them. But does it mean they are not serious? Hell no. If I see a deal that I can run with them as back up, will I back out because they ain't doing well, hell no
Like football, like other professions. QED. Make we dey slow down small.

NFF presently is tilting towards Nigerian coaches for SE with a long term contract
Finidi is one on the list.
Ogunmodede, I hope I got the name right. The Remo stars coach.
Fidelis Ilechukwu is another and this other man Ogunbote or so. Unless they get a capable and also budget friendly Non Nigerian. One or two of these men will be in the dug out.

charlesemeka85:
You be fool, like say u don watch play since

Na for ur mouth I hear Atilogwu dancer oh. I just repeated your speech. Logically na the originator suppose be the fool.

nairalanda1:
The chance is, the security forces know where the kids are by now. And the chance is, if the security forces move in to rescue the kids...the bandits would kill the victims, and then turn to face the security forces.

That is why it took so long to free the chibok girls.

IN cases like this, unless you are prepared to be like the Russians and risk having some kidnap victims die in any operation to free them, at the end you will negotiate with the bandits, and you will pay their price. Chibok, Dapchi, Katsina, and BIrnin kebbi, and the Kaduna train blast are all good examples.

The problem is, most of us don't want our loved ones to die. I don;t want my loved one to die. So, politicans sanction negotiation and eventually payment.

This your write up sounds like another town hall balablu to me. Assuming security forces has known where they are, as u said. Ransom was paid, and they students were released. Why has our security not attacked those enclaves after the release? Chibok, Dapchi, etc etc. Abqcha said if it lasts after 24hrs, govt is part of it. Full stop. Within next few days these kids will be released, govt will use it as a propaganda and that's the end of it.

favor914:
Stop been hypocritical, you can, if he makes a decision & it doesn’t augur well, he has the prerogative to change it.

Things like yourself, no matter what President Tinubu does for good, or for bad, you will always have a reason in bad belle to form criticism .

Not as if anyone really cares about your humbug’s opinion.

This shows that they didn't think it through. Policies are not things one wakes up in the morning with towel around his waist and just puts up. That's what they are doing. Taxing expats changes nothing if they don't stand against the oppression of Nigerian staff in these companies. Especially Asian firms. The govt need to first look into the welfare of Nigerians there. When these Nigerians are paid we'll, they will pay tax to the govt. Many of these companies are not even in any pension scheme. They give the workers direct cash and not even through any bank. Reason I don't rate NLC, TUC and other stewpid agencies masquerading here and there. Govt know where to attack. They actually attacked the wrong place. Local content has been in existence.

Lavor234:
Na...they have shown that they are not capable. I hope KADUNA, Benue and Borno should be under states of emergency if their governors are not willing to put their security votes to use.Too much nonsense has gone on for too long as for Tinubu this is just to tie him down for 8 years, he should be brutal with this, use iherijika as a consultant.Invite ISREALIs and South African MERCS.Let us see what next wil be their leverage.
Tinubu should also be careful of their moles in Strategic depth.Such as the one who advises on planning, they provide inhuman policies and let him bear the brunt of insults.

I am not a TInubu fan, but he should be aware that this is his government. They are desperate players that want to destroy it and take it from him and these are not the opposition but in his party and cabinets.

No Advice Tinubu. He knows what to do. Bt he doesn't have that balls and will power to. Infact, he can't. Delving into that will expose a lot of things which he himself may not be clean sef. Naija is a crime scene. Dem dem that wanted to use it to destabilize a sitting government temporarily lost control because many didn't know that others sitting with them at the table has other agendas. Like Abacha said. " If any insurrection lasts more than 24hrs, Govt hand is in it"

It's all for the gram. APC government knows what they are doing. The children will be released soon. Government in power takes credit for being swift, 30k online corn warriors will shout for them at the mountain top. It will be world news then and life goes on. Baby calm down. Let's not be worked up. It's part of the propaganda. Like Buhari admin did during theirs and forgot leah Sharibu. The same script, the same artists. Only that this time, main actors then are behind the scene and vice versa.

Fight don finish for Rd 2. AJ don send Nganou to Manfe.
Before I go siddon put popcorn for mouth.

Even when Zimbabwe was descending into the abyss of nothingness, some citizens, party men and tribesmen alike were still supporting Mugabe. So I am not surprised with Nigeria. We have not even reached the low Zimbabwe found itself in until they started building from ground zero.

Nigerian Defence Industry Manufacturers Display Products In World Exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Nigeria’s defence industry has made a remarkable presence at the World Defence Show 2024, a global event that showcases the latest innovations and technologies in the defence sector. The show, which is being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from February 4 to 8, 2024, has attracted over 1,000 exhibitors and 80,000 visitors from around the world.

Among the exhibitors are two Nigerian defence companies: Proforce Defence and the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON). Both companies have displayed their products and capabilities in the fields of land, naval, and air security, as well as engaged in networking and business opportunities with potential partners and clients.

Proforce Defence, Nigeria’s leading indigenous defence company, has showcased its range of products, including drones and armoured vehicles. The company posted on its social media channels that “Proforce will be showcasing cutting-edge solutions in Land, Naval and Air security at the World Defence Show in Riyadh from February 4-7. Visit our booth, Hall 1 south-G3.3 to learn more about how we’re advancing security solutions around the world.”

Some of the products that Proforce has exhibited are the Ara 2 MRAP, a mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle that can withstand blasts and ballistic threats; the PF-2 Armoured Personnel Carrier, a versatile and modular vehicle that can transport troops and equipment in various terrains; and some of its drones, such as a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle that can perform reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition missions.

DICON, the state-owned defence company that manufactures small arms, bullet proof vests, light weapons, and the Ezugwu MRAP, has also visited the World Defence Show, but it is not certain if they have exhibited their products. DICON is responsible for producing and supplying weapons and ammunition to the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies.

The Nigerian government delegation to the World Defence Show comprises the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Dr Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, Director-General of DICON, Major-General Effiong Edet, and other critical stakeholders of the Nigerian Armed Forces and exhibitors from the shores of Nigeria.

A statement by the Ministry of Defence said, “While going round the exhibition stands, the Minister pointed out that the aim of the global exhibition was for participating countries’ Ministries of Defence to meet and share information and ideas on the latest defence systems.”

He said “major international defence companies like DICON and PROFORCE from Nigeria and others around the world are participating in the exhibition in addition to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defence.”

When I say na South be Nigeria. Many will come for my head. But the reality in our faces still on still is that South is the Nigeria. As much as the south dey try to upgrade to 18th century. The North dey move back to medieval ages.

lovewins:
First, this is strawman. Bring a contrary argument don't go through the backdoor. Also FIFA, CAF NFF are havens of corrupt practices. You think these things can go on if the glass house had his house in order? You think a house void of corruption wouldn't see anything wrong with a coach on their employ inviting a player he has a stake in?

A federal high court today prevented the Kano anti corruption agency from investigating Gandollar the former governor of corruption charges. Going by your logic Gandollar is a saint since he's yet to be convicted of said crime even though we have a video of him stuffing dollars in his babariga.

Siasia says hi. Yusuf too dey greet. The European that was assaulted couldn't sue him to court. Continue going round in circles. If FIFA. CAS, CAF the governing body didn't see anything wrong in it. Na pant all of una dey tear for nothing.

No football governing body, be it FIFA, CAS, CAF, nFF has called up Amunike for bribery. None has questioned him, neither has he been sanctioned. FIFA still call him up in their Technical whatever group. Even tho this thing has been in public space since. It's only in Nigeria Nairaland that people are tearing their pants. Una get time plenty.

mostob:
Several monikers have been dragging this issue for some pages now yet none of them went the tribal way.

Please don't bring any tribalism stuff into this issue. Please. Argue with fact and civility.

It's only a bigot that comes up with such in an issue everyone has been discussing with all civility. Very shameful.

Rolings:
Good for them.

That's why I hail people that resisted their shenanigans during elections... Playing on people's emotions and outright blackmail just to grab power like others but lying that they are not supporting Obi because he is igbos but because he is the best
And at the same time fighting people that want to vote Tinubu not because he is Yoruba but because he is the best.
Thank God Nigerians Dodge their poisonous arrow

Yes oh. We dodged arrow come fall into the path of 50mm calibre SMG. Lod airpus

Anambra1stSonTV:
Dumbo he is dualizing five roads in Anambra currently, soon he will flag off dualization of Amawobia by old road to Ekwulobia

To Uga. The road have been extended to Uga as of today.

The reality that is staring us in the face is if and only if PS finally calls it quits. Cerezo will be in d dug out for the March friendlies and possibly the next WCQ. Having studied the way NFF operates, I don't see them getting another gaffer in the next 3 months.

Theben:
Eguaveon will always come and spoil our world cup qualification hope then go back and act like a technical director. History will keep repeating itself sha in this country...

Let's not forget that the runaway coach already dug a ditch for his successor. We can only pray and hope that Egu finds a way to navigate his way out of d trap. Like Amodu in 2010

The Potokri man has seen the writing on the wall and finally threw in the towel. I am not quite cool with the whole thing. Did he just dig a hole for the next man?? Dropping 4 points already. Anyways Egu has to swim or sink. Good luck to him. I don't even envy him. Hope and pray we don't have another Oliseh-Siasia scenario.

Kukutenla:
Learn to speak for yourself
I didn't know garri sellers are all Igbo and all refused to vote for your god

We keep learning everyday. I never knew that igbos hold the franchise of all the garri that we eat in this country. This is massive news.

grandstar:
There are still some painful reforms to go, notably the full deregulation of both the petrol price and that of electricity.

It is sad that the government seems to be following the import substitution model that has got the country nowhere.

Also, there as yet to be a cut in the company tax to 15% or lower. This would boost not only local investments but foreign. Low corporate taxes have proven to be game changers wherever they've been applied. They've brought fast growth to Central European economies. It also encourages companies to enter the formal economy rather than continue working in the shadows.

Government also needs to roll out a plan to privatize all government owned seaports and international airports. If not privatize, at least commercialise

Henry Cardoso should hike up interest rates from. 22.75 to at least 26%. This should boost the exchange rate to around $1 -N1,250.

Even without hiking the interest rate. Naira will still return to #1200/$. If you check the other WA currencies with Naira and it's Dollar value. Naira should be around #1200/$. 12cedi=1$=#1200 so I keep wondering why Naira to Dollar is 1600. I am not an economist tho. Just an Engineer & a business man.
