The same Cape verde that everyone now calls their 'darling' in Africa?



I heard they have now stripped many African countries of Visa on arrival privileges but retained it for Europeans..

Even if Nigeria produces 200 times more revenue, you will raise the bar of debt even higher..

95% of the revenues generated are looted by politicians, the common man cannot continue to drown in taxes and levies just so that politicians can loot..

Stop giving the loans..

You sacrificed your life for democracy so that you can grab power to become a Feudo-fascist?.

So why are you not dead? Oh. I forgot you ran off to the US like a coward when it was time to pay the ultimate sacrifice like MKO Abiola..

After abusing other presidents before you, you are dragging Sowore and other Nigerians to prison for calling you a criminal.

Democrat isonu..

That is why I tell graduates and educated guys who beg for money all the time to go out and find menial jobs.

How can you be a beggar and still decide that any legal job is beneath you..

There are building sites everywhere, but go to every junction in Lagos, you will see young men standing beside POS kiosks and waiting for you to withdraw so they can beg for money. Very irritating stuff.

Go to school, if you can't find a job. Start somewhere and work your way upwards.

TheStoriesOfMan:
That marriage will not work.

No woman will be loyal to a man she's better than. Can't you see that?

Your sister must continue to search for a man that is better than her, be able to guide her, and be able to steer the family to greater heights.

A man who doesn't have education, skills, intelligence, foresight, will, preserverance and psyche to marry or take care of a woman will be the downfall of himself and those around him.

Enough said!

Therefore the sister should search for Doctorate holders like me who are older and most likely married, since she has an M.Sc?

Now how many of such men haven't already figured their lives and already settled down? How many would settle for a lady of that age, if they arent settled already?

It takes guts for a man who has less education to want to marry a lady that educated.

The truth is..with each passing tick of the clock, her chances of getting her desirable becomes lower. In few years, her menstrual clock will shut down and then should would become a biological liability to herself and anyone who marries her. Even her mum would gnash her teeth in regret by then.

Facts must be said, the man holds the yam and the knife at this point.

Na dem..

Before this world cup after Nigeria got knocked out by Congo DR..

I chose teams to support- Cape verde, Netherlands, Senegal and France.

I was 100% sure Cape verde would surprise many people at the world cup. I have studied them for 5 years after they played at the AFCON.

Nigerians are kicking you out next year Insha Allah..

I have 7 plots of empty land in my village and I love to invest in medical products at all levels.

My money is waiting.

Adeyemi don't bother yourself..

Not everyone is a brainless bulabadeen..

We know who is saying the truth and what transpired.

Na una disagreement of sharing formular of Nigerian loot expose una..

Other exposures dey come..

Awon ole..

You cannot deliver Imo to Tinubu without rigging atrociously like you did in the last Imo elections where you brought the Ekiti State University VC and lecturers from the Soil science department of the Ekiti State University to come and rig elections.

You can bring the Ekiti lecturers back to Imo for your rigging 2.0..

One of those corrupt lecturers is currently applying for EB-2 immigrant visa in the US. That application failed woefully. He will now sit down and find more rigging contracts to do for INEC and Tinubu.

lagonovo:
I don't live in Igboland but will observe when I go there again. NYSC is not for women only and definitely not a high society gathering, so we reject your proposal here. Next.

When you order everyone to wear your Yoruba native dress as NYSC dress, we will instruct our children to wear their Akwetes, Isi-agu, Babariga to NYSC camp..

The country belongs to every tribe.

If you want a Yorubanistan, you know what to do. You may seceed.

Tinubu made himself the minister of petroleum, yet he is there munching gbegiri and totally oblivious of the goings-on in the petroleum sector..

Na next year, all these rubbish go end.

If APC rigs next year's election, they will not go scot-free..

lagonovo:
I don't think anyone is interested in just any random clothing from Oduduwa's time.
Isi-agwu is what we see everywhere and it's not native to Nigeria. The other one you mentioned is doing well at Igbo Ukwu museum, let's leave it there .

Akwete is still very much worn and very expensive than your imported lace.

It is still women by high society women in Igboland for their August meeting and Sunday-Sunday gatherings..

The fact that you do not know it does not mean that it doesn't exist.
Blame your ignorance instead.

lagonovo:
Dashiki is not native to Nigeria.
Isi-agwu was imported during colonial era. Not native to Nigeria.
Adire is Nigerian.

Akwete clothing has been knitted in Igboland before Oduduwa was discovered by the Binis and bore forth the Yorubas.

Go to the Igbo Ukwu museum and see the evidence.

Let's adopt Akwete.

LOL...

Tinubu and his goons don finally turn this country upside down..

If you check you will find that this ridiculous idea of 'NYSC reform' is primarily from no other person than Tunji Alausa the Minister of Education.

That man comes up with all kinds of obnoxious ideas that is designed create unnecessary tension and chaos sometimes for his own personal gain.

Go and see the confusion he created (and still creating) in the Health Sector as Minister of State for health..

A man who broke a federal law to appoint his friend as a Board Chairman of Medical Council that he never belong or is qualified to lead.

A man who went to Aso rock and told Tinubu that a PhD is less or equal to a Post-graduate diploma obtained via Medical fellowships..

The kind of people Tinubu appoint into his cabinet, I wonder if they were ever raised on their mothers' breast-milk for one day..

Now they want all Nigerian youths to dump Khakis for adire- an attire worn by his Yoruba tribe..

Why not the Isiagu with the red-and-white Okpu agu warrior headgear worn by the Igbos? Or Akwete which predates many civilizations.

Why not the White-and-black stripped traditional clothes worn by the Tivs?


They'd just wake up one morning, throw Amala balls into their mouths and begin to change laws and policies for their own personal gains however and whenever they feel like..

Nigerian youths, ntoor..

ruggedtimi:
Lets assume the Fed is saying the truth
..so they mean someone can setup an agency with a CBN account and also find a way to insert the agency in the Federal govt budget without the help of any top govt official ?

You dey believe those criminals?

They think everyone is as daft as their bulabadeen supporters.

Every discerning Nigerian knows what has transpired..

The case is simple. They created the PFIC or whatever and appointed the Adeyemi, they signed documents and even opened CBN account for the parastatal (CBN must have done their due diligence). .

However, like the criminals and office bandits that they are, they failed to agree on the sharing formular of the national loot that will be siphoned via that office, so the COS decided to 'scatter' everything..

Believe Oponuga's words at your own peril.

This is a case of pen robbers failing to agree on the sharing formular of the loot they have stolen and intend to steal..

jpphilips:
During the Aburi Conference, Ojukwu accused the then IGP Salem of negligence, which led to the death of Igbos up North in a pogrom that claimed around 30,000 lives, a bitter precursor to the civil war.
In his Defence, the IGP placed the blame on NAP, the Northern Authority police, the then regional police in the North, according to Salem, the National police did all it could but the regional police continued with the killings, the federal police were also out gunned and out numbered, in other to forestall any re-occurance, Ojukwu proposed the centralization of the armed forces, something in practice till date, first implemented in the Decree 8 of 1967.

There is a further historical account of extreme violence in the western region, known as **Operation Wetie**, which resulted in widespread arson and the loss of approximately **2,000 lives**. The scale of killing and property destruction that followed the 1965 elections was unprecedented. During this period the federal police supported Akintola, while the state police aligned with Awolowo’s Action Group; this breakdown of law and order precipitated the first Nigerian military coup in January 1966 and illustrated the civilian authorities’ inability to restore public order in the region.

When Nigeria became a republic in 1963, the conduct of the Western regional police during the subsequent election cycle revealed serious institutional failings. It is regrettable that a course of action that once claimed **32,000 lives over three years** would now be proposed as a remedy for terrorism. The proposition that reintroducing state police would resolve contemporary security challenges is deeply troubling and risks producing consequences more damaging than the problems it seeks to address.

By centralizing the armed forces, the Federal police became the sole law enforcer in the land, ever since, there has not been a repeat of 1966 pogrom, fast forward today, our irresponsible and ignorant politicians for their selfish reasons want to return us to pre-1966, it wasnt just the igbo pogrom that suffered under NAP, through out the short period we practiced Regional police, nothing good came out of it, why would someone in his right senses today think state police will solve any problem, despite our ethnic biases?

Every African country with tribal sentiments breaks apart as soon as they establish state police, the case of the Tigray region and South Sudan comes to mind, even if we can't learn from our own experience, why can't we learn from other people's experience?
Imagine a lagos state dominated by Yoruba state police, how do you expect an igbo man to get justice in Lagos under such arrangement? How do you expect igbos to feel safe when the Yoruba-dominated state police actors felt slighted that an igbo man has won a state or federal election in Lagos state?

A wise man once said, “The surest way to solve a crisis is never to create it.”
State police will be the final nail in the coffin of this nation.

You are most likely a Northerner or Yoruba muslim afraid of being on his own and answering his father's name..

We have different regions created by people like you who sought to politically emasculate the East..

You have own region, govern it and police it. Why are you afraid?

CharlesCNG, this guy is one of the yorubas you guys call 'Omo Ale', because he stand against the ineptitude of your Tinubu.

Can you remind me the Igbo name your baptised him with?

Delechukwu?

CharlesCNG:
My brother, you are deflecting.

If you want to argue that some Yoruba political actors have also questioned people’s lineage or used ethnic propaganda, go and open that thread and make the case. I may even agree with you where the facts support it.

But that cannot be your defence here.

The only real defence available to you is to show that what I said about some Obidients is false. If my claim is wrong, rebut it. Show that Obidients do not question people’s tribe once they leave Obi. Show that Kenneth Okonkwo was not suddenly being “investigated” only after he parted ways with Obi. Show that Igbo politicians who support Tinubu are not often called sell-outs or traitors.

But saying “Yorubas do it too” is not a rebuttal. It is whataboutism.

Are you saying because some Yoruba people have done it before, it is now right for Obidients to do it? Is that the moral standard now — copy the bad thing you claim to condemn?

I am Yoruba, and I do not support that nonsense. In fact, it may shock you that many of my closest childhood friends were Igbo. That is partly why I can recognise the difference between ordinary Igbo political opinion and the Obidient intolerance I am talking about.

This is not about hating Igbo people. It is about criticising a political movement that turns disagreement into ethnic excommunication.

So please, stop hiding behind Yoruba examples.

If the Obidient behaviour is wrong, condemn it.

If it is right, defend it openly.

But do not tell us it is wrong when Yoruba people do it and suddenly acceptable when Obidients copy it.

You started a propaganda drive, others learnt it and used it against you. Stop lamenting..

Do not start what you cannot finish..

RandDigital:
The Department of Social Development (DSD) hopes to finalise the policy for a new Basic Income Support (BIS) grant by March 2027, getting it ready for implementation.

The BIS is the new social grant the government plans to use to replace the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant, which has been extended far beyond its original intent.

The SRD grant was a R350 per month support grant, later lifted to R370, launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to help qualifying South Africans weather the economic uncertainty at the time.

The department noted that the grant was only ever expected to be in effect for six months, but over 8 million recipients became dependent on the support.

The DSD characterised the billions spent on the grant as a “success” because it directly addressed poverty, noting that recipients mainly used the money to buy food, electricity, and clothing.

This, it said, then supported local economies.

“Research by multiple independent researchers also found the SRD grant to be well targeted and successful in reducing hunger, poverty and inequality while also enabling the participation of beneficiaries in job search and other economic activity,” it said.

Because of this, the national government, supported by the presidency, is moving to transform the SRD grant into a new Basic Income Support policy, which is currently being processed.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has long supported the new grant and, in his 2026 State of the Nation Address, promised that the rework of the new grant would happen this year.

Southies are the worst dregs of the society. The day the killed Lucky Dube because they thought he was Nigerian, was the day I knew that country was a massive dysfunctional space and should be converted to the world largest mental care space.

The problem with most African teams is not quality of players, it is an attitude or courage problem.

They fear top teams too much and give them much respect.

Congo scored first and switched off their defensive button. Even when they had opportunities to attack and double their lead, they develop cold feet. Their new right winger was totally clueless about what to do with the ball. Had no offensive sense of ball and always ready to pass back like Mikel Obi. How can you win games if you don't have the courage to attack?

The Ivorians did the same too, sitting tight and having too many heavy touches in the opponents half, when you should string passes and break the backs of opponent with creative passes, runs, and swift shots.

Football's general principle is simple, the more shots you take, the more likely you are gonna score and win. Though there have been some exceptions of teams taking few shots and winning, but these are minority cases, if you check the general statistics..

African teams should learn from Morrocco, they believe they are at par with European teams or even better. They are courageous and very offensive at all times. You will never see them pass the ball back from the opponent's 18 yards box to the defense. They come at you very hard and fast.

Back passing during offensive play shows cowardice and tells the opponent that you are clueless. It even gives your opponent the courage to leave their rear and come at you with all your their arsenal..

African teams, stop being afraid when you have the ball in your opponent's half. Face your fears and win..

A University or a Secondary school?
