Tribalism and Nepotism has destroyed my great alma mater. These days electricity is now a luxury. Every darn thing attracts fees these days.
The last great VC was Oshodin every other person after him was a bloody criminal. As for Oramwense how he's not under arrest still baffles me. That man ran the school like his business venture
I think the problem is everything starts and ends here on social media.

If anybody has hard evidence against the man with facts and figures and they submit or table same to EFCC, they will gladly swing into action. Until then, the thieves will continue to loot (I am sorry to say)

Scandinavian countries susidize education for their citizens
I agree with you bro.Especially at your last statement

We are more blessed with Natural and Mineral Resources than most of these Scandinavian countries if not all of them (yea, you heard me right, all of them).

We have not been harnessing these resources. And from the crude oil industry, what we see is massive theft and corruption. The other day (last week thereabouts) the EFCC uncovered massive looting in the power industry where one individual cornered over 2 billion Naira (or even 20 billion) to himself after collecting the money, he didn't honour the contract he was paid to do. Now, why would power failure not be persistent?

Billy Joe has been ducking people left and right at middleweight. Cherry picked and went up to super middleweight and got himself an easy belt. Ask him why he didnt fight callum smith not canelo especially since the fight can be made more easily. Look at canelos resume, hes never backed away from a challenge. His last fight was a title fight about daniel jacobs who is no easy task and he handled him. Billy Joe stands no chance!
Okay, I am beginning to see your point now

but Callum is another monster ooo

LOL! Yeah Kovalev seems to be on a downward slope but its still a gutsy fight afterwards. Callum smith and billy joe (who stands no chance BTW) are super middleweights. Kovalev is a light heavy weight.

Canelo Kovalev and UFC 244 this weekend. This is friggin dope!


My predictions

Canelo def Kovalev by UD

Garcia def Duno by UD

UFC 244
Masvidal def. Diaz by UD
Gastellum def. Till by TKO
Luque def. Wonderboy by UD
Lewis def. Ivanov by KO
Gillespie def. Lee by UD
Walker def Anderson by KO (Hardest to predict cause Walker hasn't faced top opposition but i will just jump on the hype train, though anderson may try to dry hump him to a win)
Canelo is a damn cunning opportunist

He knows kovalev is way older and well past his prime. Slower too (obvious in his last bout vs ward).

If canelo really wanted to prove himself as P4P king, why not fight Callum Smith or Billy Joe Saunders. Now, these guys would have been a real competition

KD taking more subliminal shots at his warriors teammates. They asked him who his 5 favorite players to watch are.

Kyrie
Lebron

Lillard

Seems the steph was a horrible teammate. cheesy
Kai, Seriously na now I know say KD na small pikin mentality full him head

An organisation gave you the chance to win rings back to back and cement your legacy as one of the best small forwards of all time and you smear them on social media (whether directly or subliminal). Na wa ooo. Talk about being ungrateful

Is Chukwueze really developing? Looks like he is not adding anything new to his game. He needs to get out of Villareal.

"You can hear the genuine happiness in his...."

Not everyone understands this.

That somebody can be genuinely happy being a welder or doing any other peasantry job. And if you walk up to him and ask him to follow you, that you will make him to be like Davido, he will tell you to keep it.

It happens even in relationships, you see a guy or girl dumping one beautiful/handsome bae/dude for a not-so-beautiful one. And if you ask him, wetin the babe do you, he'd say nothing, just that his heart is more at peace and happy with the ugly one.

Inside life....

In the end, do what really makes you happy.

The world might talk for a while, but las las, everybody go dey alright.
True talk

Sarcasm: "The use of words in an ironic manner for literary effect".

I apologize to those who MISUNDERSTOOD my comment on the picture of our hat trick hero Ibrahim Said.

My intention was to shame the tribalists by mimicking thier hate speech, indirectly pointing out that Said's stellar performance has proven wrong thier assertion that football belongs to the SE and SS. Said proved that the so-called "gworo eating Abokis" could play football too and excel in our GWG colours.

It is just sad that my tongue-in-cheek comment was taken literally by many even after my repeated explanations that it was meant to be satirical. I even left three emoji's below the comment in order to show that it was purely ironic.

But once again, I apologize to all who felt offended. May the grace to understand satire and irony fall on us all in Jesus' name.
Apology accepted. However, I pray that the grace to choose the right moments (and issues) for sarcasm will be bestowed to you in Jesus Name. Amen

A40:
It's a code I can't get jiggy with sha. Unless it's your brother or in Amanda Nunes's case your spouse then I don't see the point of it. In DCs case he went to pick up two losses to Bones and in Romero's case he can't make weight in his division even for title fights. Makes zero sense that you're the only one sacrificing your career for said 'friend' (worked out for DC to be fair)

Dana White does not care for fight fan purists. He is always after what would bring in the most casuals. An Izzy vs Romero fight will bring in more casuals plus Romero is a credible challenger. It's a fight I wouldn't miss

I won't sell Cannonier so short but the thing I like about Izzy is this is the 3rd straight fight he's showing me something different and something I've not seen before. It's a sign he is getting better

That is the angle you are viewing it from. All I'm saying is a suspect chin can be hidden but exposed the higher the quality of guys you fight. Age and attrition can wear down your chin (cc Spider) but for a guy like Weidman it's clear beyond reasonable doubt that he had a glass jaw and only got exposed as he went along

Whittaker doesn't have or might not have a glass jaw same way George Foreman did not have a glass jaw as people wildly erroneously thought. Anyone can get caught in a fight, it's the frequency that determines like in Weidman, Arlovski or Overeem's case. Not just one fight

Fair enough. It could be so. However you have to consider that most of these fights actually get won and lost in the latter rounds. He slowed down against Costa (I thought Costa won that one easily don't get the outrage)

The more reason I need for Bones to leave LH. He has zilch left to prove. I know I will never be arsed to watch another Jones fight at LH. He's beaten every credible challenger in the division in the last decade. It's a year end, he's USADA free, healthy and still can't get a fight. No wonder he's all over Twitter mouthing off at Stylebender every other day

I agree there is a wider jump in weight than boxing but harder is a stretch. Both of Jones last two opponents were middleweights. Gastellum moved up. A lot of fighters have routinely pulled it off. Jones has the build to pull it off easily

Jones knows his fancy moves will be a lot harder to pull off in Heavyweight where a body shot can scatter all your well thought out plans at the drop of a dime. There are many older slower guys in the Heavyweight division but Jones knows the risks far outweigh the rewards

I don't want Stylebender anywhere near Bones for now. In another year and a half or so we can revisit the discussion. Right now he wouldn't stand a chance
Finally, someone that gets it
