Now they're busy shopping for CIA...lmao.

QuotaSystem:

Can't take an ounce of what they dish out.

Cry harder

CartelKenneth:
It is disgrace to Northern Nigeria,
not Nigeria

Brahamimo:
But why on earth are we some of you like this?

It saddens me when I see some Mature adults talking like this, honestly.
What has voting for Tinubu or not, got to do with this?
Let's be mindful of our utterances please. We are all learned.
Let's be mature pls

The pitch looks like a FIFA standard artifical football pitch which costs 530000 dollars to 1.3 million dollars.,,or 100000 dollars to 700000 dollars.(looking up 2 estimates on the web)

I suspect most of the money went to the pitch installation. Leaving limited money for the stands.

This is speculative, of course...until we see the actual costs breakdown. But that ain't an ordinary grass pitch...it would cost too much to maintain long term

Of course, corruption. But it is possible that some of the money went to foreign experts who installed the pitch..doubt any nigerian company can do that now.

(Uyo stadium cost 96 million dollars by the way)


N.B: I am not excusing any stealing or corruption, or denying that there was corruption in the project...abeg.

Modifed

It just crossed my mind that there was some under-the pitch drainage (no, not your drainage you know!), put in. Putting in a drainage system at 5 dollars per square foot, and noting that a soccer field is 81000 square feet...that's about 430000 dollars for drainage system

I also came across maintenance and replacement costs, which I will not include here for now.

Pardon is for convicted felons, he should plead guilty first, before any pardon.

That is how the system works.

ledaman:
Go and verify, the IDF initiated the massacre by themselves.
It's a political propaganda.
Their focal point was to seize total control of Gaza which all the resistance groups kicked against.
If you think that's wasn't genocidal activities, then you need serious prayers.

Mccullum:
With all support given to Israel technologically, financially and logistically.

Yet, Israel cannot discover where hostage were kept within Gaza and Hamas held their ground with so many damages.

KingWarri:
It's not... The food vendors are not the ones importing it... The food vendors buy from grocery stores..

brain54:
You and all these your half thought arguments...

The discovery of this synagogue only establishes the presence of the Jewish settlement in the area which has never been in doubt.

It doesn't establish or pinpoint the Jews as the original occupiers of the land.

No dey reason one sidely from the myopic lens of whatever!

Your post here as a non-Yoruba person is largely FALSE in the first and second sentences. The land of EKO before 1900 simply refers to Eko Island (Lagos Island and NOT the much BIGGER Lagos State which ONLY came into existence on May 27, 1967) was and still is a traditional ethnic Yoruba Island as can be seen from the full census figures right on Page 1 of this NL thread with each subgroup of the Yorubas from the Ekos to the fuller Awori (which the Ekos are part of) to the Ijesas, the Ekitis, the Ijebus, the Egbas, the Oyos, etc, who are ALL Yoruba subgroups.

The name "EKO" as referenced in the census figured of 1891 simply refers to a subgroup of the larger Yoruba who are the REAL indigenous people of Eko Island. Although there are some historical links between Eko and the Benin Kingdom royalty as well being of Ile Ife origins (as even STRONGLY affirmed by the Ogiamien family of Benin and the Usen people of Ovia South West LGA of Edo State who affirm in videos online that they are Yorubas from Ile Ife being that Oranmiyan's OLDER brother Prince Afelogiyan was the FIRST traditional ruler of USEN then known as Ife Kekere) with the ending of the Ogiso era, BUT those of Benin descent have been subsumed into the larger Awori (Eko) lineages as Eko-Yorubas.

The EKO people are part of the larger Awori people who extend to Ogun State and are the ORIGINAL land owners. The popular White Cap Chiefs (they are officially called IDEJOS in the Yoruba language) of Lagos Island are the REAL land owners of EKO and they are the direct descendants of Olofin Ogunfunminire who was one of the Ile-Ife Princes and he migrated from Ile Ife over 700 years under the guidance of Ifa divination till he arrived in Isheri and then Ido Island in the present Lagos State and he further shared the lands of Eko Island for farming pepper and other settlement purposes among his many male children. The King or Oba of Eko is known as the "Eleko of Eko."

The Ogus are historically related to the Yorubas ancestrally because the Ogus evolved as a result of the further ancestral MIX of Yorubas and Fon from the era of the Oyo Empire. This is why the Oba of Ajase (Porto Novo) which is one of the Yoruba-speaking cities and towns in Benin Republic told the veteran Nigerian film maker 'Tunde Kelani in his brilliant documentary on the history of Ajase (Porto Novo) which is still on YouTube that the Yorubas in the 1800s welcomed the Ogus to live with them in Ajase (Porto Novo) [which is part of the larger Yorubaland located in Benin Republic] BECAUSE they are relatives.

It's the same way that the Fon people of Benin Republic also ancestrally evolved from a MIX of Yoruba and Aja people of Benin Republic and Togo.

Therefore:
Yoruba and Aja ancestries = Fon

And:

Yoruba and Fon ancestries = Ogu.

Please where is Benin in that population data analysis.

This man should go and rest. All these shalaye is nothing but trying to get sympathy.
You failed woefully as a president to the extent that you were borrowing money just to pay salaries.
Not a single meaning monumental project to his name in 5 to 6 years of presidency except for sending CAN leader to SA to purchase arms for thr military. Joker

madridguy:
The Western Region was widely considered the most developed, largely due to effective governance, quality leadership like Premier Obafemi Awolowo.

SmartPolician:
Stop dwelling in the past; the past can only trigger hateful comments because Nigeria has a nasty past.

Focus on bringing a visionary leadership that will repostion this country. Counties as rich as Nigeria have by far left this country. We should be worried.

humberjade:
Exactly, people mistake dialects for languages.

Easyincome24:
Spot the mistake in this message.

Be calm, don't be in a haste to do so.

VladimirTheGrea:
I really think Hamas and this Palestinian shite is way out of proportion. Looking at what Islam is doing in Europe and their consistent request for sharia and overlooking other people's culture and ways of life, I think Israel must be right about the two state solution.

Israel is fighting what the rest of the world misunderstand. Spread of Islam is coming with heavy emotional propaganda.
