Not sure government having watchdogs over men football in England can be banned.

They pay taxes and must comply with labour laws in the least, right? Also, they're ultimately bound by the laws of the land: Immigration laws, Criminal laws, and the likes.

I think UEFA needs to be specific over which interference they mean.

Obviously you do not know the way the man Tinubu thinks.

Oh, but I do. Was born in Lagos, have been living in Lagos and read his files too. But let's not really talk about how he thinks. That's quite discouraging.

We're just focused on the beautiful lessons he must have learnt from this Dangote exploit. And how we expect the birth of four baby refineries ASAP -or four baby refinery-owners.

Baby steps👍🏾

People who seldomly see good in anything hardly live a happy and successful life

You're a Nigerian and you're not defensively pessimistic? Dey play my fans. Now educate yourself! Here are the disadvantages of being blindly optimistic like you lots

1.Blind optimists who rationalize that “everything will be fine” may avoid red flags signaling a bad decision or fall victim to procrastination, failing to take necessary precautions.

2. Many entrepreneurs can relate to feeling certain a pitch will land­, only to panic when a meeting unexpectedly goes south. Defensive pessimists are at an advantage at times like these.

3. Positivity often backfires in stressful situations like negotiations or public speaking. Telling yourself to “cheer up and look on the bright side” when your business is on the line dismisses your true feelings, which only amplifies worries. You may beat yourself for being incapable or otherwise unqualified. And when distorted thinking takes over, you can’t perform at your best.

4. Research shows that when entrepreneurs are overly optimistic, they take on more debt — potentially placing their companies in jeopardy. Defensive pessimism safeguards against unhealthy risk by channeling realistic thinking.

So yeah, take a look at all of the high hopes you lots had for Buhari, yeah, the likes of is $1 = N216 and so on. Look at before him, look at now. Now knock that blind optimism out of your head.

I am not happy that the plate numbers are not visible. 😒😒

By the way, who is this one that wants to dispense from a device that has not been set up?

9jatriot:
.Well, the refinery is finally working, and it happened in the regime of Tinubu.

Correct. So Tinubu cannot deny to know if a refinery is capable of working in Nigeria. He also cannot deny to know if Nigeria has refineries, where they are located or if Nigeria's money goes there.

If a private individual can make a refinery work from scratch, thankfully, Tinubu doesn't have to start from scratch since there are already 4 standing refineries to touch up and get churning out petroleum products. Also, he has the country's war chest, the 469 legislative members and international relations to make it work.

These are the priorities, not watching Dangote trailers. We need to focus here. A better Nigeria is POssible.

Even if there was, it is a good thing we have a private refinery working and this was done by a single private individual. The government has no excuse. We have four refinery structures on ground. The government should get them up and running or privatise them to serious minded human beings unlike them.

Nah there we dey now. Dangote or No Dangote. The moment NNPCL plaster for front as sole retailer, pheeeeewwwwww.

I always knew Android could do Split screen. Around 10 years back when I was using Samsung S3 (the last Samsung I used), I could easily split screen from the home button. Many devices I used after then never had issues with finding the Split screen either. But this Nokia was the first device I couldn't see anywhere to split the screen.

That was until last month. For some reason, I long pressed one of the app icons under Recent Apps while trying to switch apps and it brought out the 'Split Top' option. After that, I selected the second app for the bottom and voila!

As someone who like using my phones to their highest capabilities, this is a W 😁😁. Below is an image of Chrome and VLC player, adjusted manually to show more of Chrome though🤭

The inordinate number of checkpoints on roads in Eastern Nigeria has always been a source of concern for commuters who complain of unnecessary delays and sometimes, extortion, as they go about their business on the roads. This gets worse in December.

An X user @RealOladuah took time to compile a list as he embarked on a journey from Onitsha to Enugu, a distance of 105KM. Here are his exact words:

Good morning, Nigeria

This amounts to an average of a checkpoint every 3.7KM.

Quite different. Even during an election season.

For context, let's also take a look at what we're shared on the USA government official X handle, moments away from elections, to have a fair and balanced view (images are not loading 😔)

What do you think??

So.. Here's a random comparison of what the X handles of the United States of America government (https://x.com/USAGov?t=nTZjnfSr0kjNF42A61_q0A&s=09) and the Federal Republic of Nigeria government (https://x.com/NGRPresident?t=2jKX0V_5YLO4crarQbqzSg&s=09) have been up to most recently:

Take a look

Come and see people also dancing gwo gwo gwo ngwo alongside their governor. In addition to building roads, he is systematically clearing the backlogs left by previous administration and what a time to do so.

Oya edit your post.🤣🤣

The haters have arrived. Instead of asking your governors to build roads, you are here hating on other progressive states.

South East governors are busy dancing gwo gwo gwo ngwo instead of developing their respective states yet your quarrel is with Ogun state.

Keep up the good job 🙌🏾

helinues:
The farmers empowerment program started even before DA became the governor. I have friends who benefited from the program

You guys shouldn't be petty about this news

You're an APC bot. Even if you didn't say you have friends who have benefitted from it, you'd say you have benefitted from it. You'd say anything at this point, which is basically your job description.

For the bolded, direct your complaints to the one who gave the press conference which unveiled the true state of things, not people commenting on what has been said.

It would have been easier to have done photo ops with the farms they 'actually' funded in the very first place.

Such careless praise stealing should be avoided. The governor was getting enough heat as a non-performer already.

How are fellow Nairalanders discussing guns (names, models and history) like we're describing the streets we're from?

Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri, took to X to share the post:

"A Nigerian , Emma Ihejirika,on death row for drugs in Indonesia has been FREED. A big thanks to Barrister Emmnauel Isha Ogebe, a Nigerian lawyer based in Washington DC,Usa,who , after our visit to Indonesian prison, took up the case pro bono and won at the Supreme Court 🙏🏿"

This was greeted with congratulations, with even many more wondering how he was able to escape Indonesian deadly laws. It took X Community Notes to clarify that the said individual was actually in prison due to a mistaken identity. He had no connection to the drugs he was imprisoned for. The Community Note read:

The tweet is misleading. Emmanuel Ihejirika was in prison due to a case of mistaken identity. The user has deliberately left that part out.
https://dailytrust.com/indonesia-frees-nigerian-earlier-sentenced-to-death-for-drug-trafficking/

A lot of Nigerians were quick to call her out for omitting that part deliberately. I would think if that was the case, there was no reason to have left it out since the man was a honest Nigerian whose life was thwarted for no real reason by the Indonesian Government.

Can't a normal human support APC and be smart about it on Nairaland?

What kind of bot behaviour is this? Creating posts and liking it with multiple accounts at a go.

The Department of State Services (DSS) has summoned the convener of a Lagos-based group that has filed a lawsuit against the state government and other parties regarding Dangote’s $100 million land deal.

Jamiu Olayinka one of leader, who was at work, was asked to honour the impromptu invitation of the secret police at 10:00 am on Thursday, a statement signed by the Media Officer of De Renaissance Patriots Foundation in Lagos State, on Thursday said.

The statement read that “having contacted his lawyers and members of the native group he leads, Comrade Olayinka went to honour the DSS’ invitation, which was passed to him via a telephone conversation by a man, who introduced himself as the Director of DSS Ibeju-Lekki Local Government, describing the location of the Service’s office in the area”.

Although he was not detained, his people had insisted that he should give them all the details of what transpired as they had told him before he left for their office that they suspected the invitation was due to the Ibeju-Lekki Peoples Forum’s involvement in the suit against Lagos State regarding the Dangote Refinery’s $100 million paid to the state government over the natives land taken without compensation and claimed to have been given free for the Dangote’s refinery building some nine years ago.

“As predicted by the people, Comrade Jamiu Olayinka confirmed their thought as right. He said, ‘I was asked about the case and I told them we are not going back. I told the (DSS) man that I have every right to sue Lagos State Government for the issues.

“’And he asked to know what can we use to back up our Association and I showed him our registered certificate with CAC. He became perplexed when he saw the registered certification.

However, the lawsuit seeks to uncover the truth surrounding Dangote’s claim that he paid $100 million to the state government and ensure transparency and accountability in the handling of public funds.

The court’s ruling is anticipated to shed light on the circumstances surrounding this substantial payment and its potential impact on the lives of the Ibeju-Lekki community.

This is contained in an originating motion, brought under Section 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended; Sections 1,3, 4, 7, 20 and 24 of the Freedom of Information Act 2011 and Inherent jurisdiction of the Honourable Court in the matter.

How can such volume of goods be moved noiselessly under the radar

trutharena:
Trump was a disaster for America and the world.

Won't expect anything less from an APC bot account, to be honest. Your concerns were well noted and addressed earlier.

This same Trump signed an Executive Order creating a position that is focused solely on human trafficking. Human trafficking is connected to international organ trading which is why there are now thousands of terrorist elements in Nigeria and other African countries kidnapping and harvesting organs at will. This man almost ended it completely during his term in office. Read here:

https://fortune.com/2020/01/31/trump-human-trafficking-bill-executive-order/

Rufai wants Nigerians to support Kamala who stems from the political dynasty of the Clintons and runs on the Obama philosophy. For the records, when Obama was elected, Africans were over the moon. Nigerians carried it on their head with billboards dedicated to Obama in Nigeria, paid for by Nigerians. Guess what? When it was time to visit Africa, Obama ignored Nigeria. I am the only known Nigerian who boldly went on Voice of America TV in Washington D , on a Live show with Shaka Ssali and told Obama off and on that show, I declared to all that Obama was not for Africans or Black people. I was proved right shortly after. This was aired to tens of millions all over the world and was even picked up by ITV Benin at the time.

Even though Obama never visited Nigeria as president, the gift he chose to give Nigeria was APC government which Rufai hates and fights against today. I was in Nigeria when APC was being formed. I knew the guys who came to set up its structures for campaign and propaganda. Axelrod is OBama and Obama is Axelrod. They were in Nigeria to run the campaign that enthroned APC and the plan isn’t for them to ever lose power in Nigeria. See link of their involvement below:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/firm-founded-by-david-axelrod-worked-in-nigerian-election-as

This is why we say APC is the Democratic Party of America’s African sibling. As long as Democrats are in power in America, APC will never loose elections in Nigeria. This is the same party Rufai hates but now he’s rooting for Kamala that’s a member we of the larger family, whose win will ensure APC never leaves power in Nigeria.

Like Obama, when Kamala was set to make her first trip to Africa as Vice President, she also ignored Nigeria. And for the African countries she visited, do you know the demands she made from them? She was there to demand that gay people be given right to marry legally or the countries will lose US foreign aid. See below:

https://www.advocate.com/world/kamala-harris-ghana-lgbtq

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/biden-says-he-would-withhold-foreign-aid-if-countries-discriminate-against-lgbtq-idUSKBN1WP1XZ/

They’re threatening African countries - sovereign nations that are so called independent, telling them to legalize gay marriage and allow LGBTQ to reign supreme in their nations or America will withdraw aid. Did you not see what they did to Uganda. I don’t need to post a link. Look it up.

In the same way that Trump used US Taxpayer money to Promote religious liberty abroad, Biden and Harris are using even more money to promoted LGBTQ rights around the world, especially in Africa. In fact, it’s become like an attack on the sovereignty of the nations they target.

So, the President that Rufai hates and wants everybody to hate said, “Americans at US embassies abroad must be educated on religious liberty and our money will be committed to fighting religious violence” AND the Kamala that Rufai is rooting for is saying, “scrap that, we would fight for LGBTQ rights instead.” And you still want people to see Trump as the enemy?

I can go on and on and on. But the question is, what has happened to humanity? Like I said, I don’t know Rufai well. But I believe he could be a Christian. But even if he’s a Muslim, at what point exactly do his values cross paths with the values that Kamala is espousing and promoting? To the point that at the Democratic National Convention, Planned Parenthood which co sponsors the Democrat party was at the scene of the convention with a mobile abortion clinic. Mobile abortion clinic - so abortion clinic on wheels! Staying in the buildings not enough - they had to bring it out there. Not sure Americans had seen anything like that. And these are the guys who advocate for late term abortions - what they call partial birth abortions, where a fully developed child almost at the point of birth is dismembered in its mother’s womb and the body parts traded illegally, in some cases. Please do me a favor and google “planned parenthood undercover video.”

Less than two years of becoming president, Biden and Harris have now overseen wars in almost all the regions of our world, after a complete four years of peace in our world under Trump. Is that what you hate him for? Or the fact that he stopped members of the LGBtQ from disgracing America in the military and bringing shame to American institutions with their madness and he decided to leave strict rules on how they must conduct themselves? You prefer now that men are allowed to share the same bathroom with girls and children at schools in California could go through sex change without having to inform their parents? These are the madness you’ll get with Harris for sure because they’re already happening right now in the U.S.

PLUS the fact that if care is not taken, we could end up with WW3. Maybe then. People like my brother Rufai will understand that international politics is played on a far more sophisticated and higher pedestal, beyond the boundaries of parochial sentimentalism.

Regardless of how we feel, we should never wear clothes on the truth. Leave it naked.

https://x.com/jcokechukwu/status/1834184482007437499?t=521zk8hnR0LVlhJRSNVldg&s=19

This is the most insensitive and misleading garbage I’ve seen on X this year. I don’t have any personal relationship or issues with Rufai but going this low tells you everything you need to know about how ignorant Nigerian journalists are and continue to be about international politics, especially in relation to Africa.

If this brother is not being willfully ignorant or intentionally deceptive, then he should stop posting about American politics.

People always talk about Trump’s character and by that they mean the way he talks, the way he fights back against the myriad of globalist - inspired attacks on him and so on. Nothing more! You never hear them talk about his records.

I campaigned for Trump in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, another Kamala Harris mentor and supporter, who oversaw the destruction of the most prosperous African country before 2011, Lybia and has now left it a haven for terrorism and human trafficking. Some of the details of the role she played were contained in the over 33,000 emails she mysteriously deleted from her personal server. Globalist - owned ABC News noted,

“Clinton is doing her best to move beyond the controversy over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, saying only last night that she "made a mistake" and declining to address why those emails were deleted. She didn't answer Trump's questions. However, there is an answer.”

Hillary most definitely must have been Rufai’s candidate.

Now, that’s a deed not talk. We fought for Trump because our world desperately needed a relative outsider, who was neither Democrat nor Republican - the two political paradigms controlled by the same forces of evil. We trusted him to deliver on his promises and he did.

He said there’ll be no war, there was none in all the four years he was in power. He said Religious Liberty will be at the center of his admin’s core goals, he delivered. Trump signed an Executive Order Advancing International Religious Freedom which I published many times in the past, and in that EO, religious freedom for people all over the world who experienced religiously motivated killings and harassment was covered. In fact, he budgeted millions of dollars to promote this, mandating US embassy officials overseas to go through a re-education program on religious liberty. He also helped to raise an international force to to respond to religious freedom violation emergencies, all over the world, including Nigeria! This was when Christians were being massacred like crazy in Benue, Souther Kaduna and other locations. Under that EO, Trump promised that Boko Haram and terrorists that killed Christians in Nigeria were soon to be wiped off. See the EO link below:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-advancing-international-religious-freedom/

That's why Trump looked Buhari in the face and asked, “why are you killing Christians in Nigeria? Buhari admitted this and it was all over the news in the Nigerian media. Here’s just one link:

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/09/08/buhari-trump-accused-me-of-killing-christians-in-nigeria/

This same Donald Trump, in 2017 probably less than one year in office already hosted Nigerian victims of the CHIBOK School kidnapping in the White House! Those girls got a scholarship from the Trumps. Same Trump they told you hates Africa and Nigeria in particular. Here’s the link below - please read it:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/president-trump-hosts-chibok-schoolgirls-white-house/

Trump is the only American president in recent memory who really got personally involved and interested in the wellbeing of the oppressed people of Africa. He became the first one to fire a shot at France-controlled Cameroon when videos were pouring out from there of unimaginable human rights abuses. Trump took action immediately by removing Cameroon from a long standing Trade Pact with the USA that enabled Cameroon receive money from the U.S. as foreign aid and he promised to do more if after that, the violations continued. Read it below or simply search this: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/11/01/africa/cameroon-trump-trade-pact

So finally, nah statistics we dey munch.

Doesn't change the fact that we lost a trading value of N4.3 billion as APC took over and ran down everything.
