U cant buy talent
Its a natural thing

Nigerians are not the only people with talent

question is how much should be expected and how often?

USA has both talented blacks and whites so they are meant 2 be the greatest at the olympics

and they are

There is a place for personal development too and the need for us to focus on events where we have comparative advantage. It is not compulsory for us to send a large number of contingents to the Olympics. In terms of personal development, the likes of Usain bolt expended time and resources for four years just to prepare for the Olympics. Some of our representatives are not even full time athletes. Despite winning over 20 grand slams, Djokovic rated his medal at the Olympics as his greatest achievement, which underscores that the Olympics means different things to different people.

adioolayi:
Well done to the athletes..

It's clear our sports federations need correct reforms..seems many heading these Federations no really understand their job..they are just there to chop and believe insha'Allah in competitions to win...e no dey work that way..

Some will say Basketball tried because of D'Tigress outing...that will be terrible lie attributing the success of those ladies to the Federation, considering what we read about their planning and logistics..so, its more of the ladies determination to do their thing for themselves.

Going forward, we can pick positives from the way Minister of Sports responded to issues...he has been very active.

He will need to keep up this energy and touchlight all these Federations to ensure they do the right thing at the right time. For example, Athletes training allowances should be paid as at when due , so they can use it for Training..and not when they have reached competition

He has a lot to do...and the recent flashes shows the Minister can actually do it..if he wants to. He should give us good, efficient sports federations.

Apt. However, there is the place of personal development and talent too. Usain bolt, Biles, Michael Phelps were exceptional Olympic champions. Are you not surprised that with all the money invested on football in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, they are still far behind in terms of global achievement. It is time for Nigeria to resuscitate grassroot sport development, invest on national sports festival, University games and revamp the sports ministry. Talent acquisition is as important as having a strong sport ministry

Kukutente23:
Of course they will. That's their stock in trade when not in power and the man there is not dancing to their tune like they want.
The irony now is that Tinubu is the one giving them the ammunition against his govt.
During OBJ, they used sharia
During GEJ, they used boko haram
Today, Tinubu's mishandling of the economy is giving them legitimacy for revolt

intelligence submission. I love this

Kukutente23:

You secured your region with nairaland likes and shares. You're such a clown. I have tears in my eyes reading your comedy.

If Tinubu was able to manage the economy, a popular protest such as this couldn't have happened. Stop diverting to one yeye region to hide your shame. You can't secure an ant not to talk of a region

the northerners would still have found another scheme to undermine Tinubu's government. It is funny how all the candidates promised to remove fuel subsidy, but the same northerners want Tinubu to reintroduce it.

Massiveglory:
Protest neva start for Nigeria, senators don close house japa.
Tinubu and the psychopants around him on seeing this, go de pee for bodi.

No be to grab power by all means open mouth on 1st day with " subsidy is gone"! Na to show working.

Tinubu , if you are clueless on what to do, humble yourself, carry shettima for right hand, chain akpabio for left hand and get out.

Make them handover to military so una go fit get sense

Not at all. Peter Obi won the last election due to his popularity in the north and across the country.

Zwooks:
The message is simple. Tinubu Out

and Shettima in or military takeover? I hope you and your family can afford to relocate abroad by the time any of this happens. What is oblivious to many of you folks is that some powerful individuals are itching for the situation to deteriorate. The plan is to hijack the protests, create chaos, and launch an insurrection. Have you asked yourself why the protests are so intense in the country's north? northern leaders who never wanted Tinubu to emerge as president are cooking something...the north is obsessed with power and would do anything whether democratic or unconventional to retrieve it. I hope that you folks won't throw caution to the winds. Political instability is further going to undermine the country's economic growth and development, potentially exacerbating the current socio-economic crises.

Felaincarnated:
Ur mumu neva do? Is d economy of d country a joke to u?Wat oda objective u dey find?

I anticipated a preposterous response from you. If you struggled to decipher my initial message, isn't it obvious that you cannot organize a reasonable protest. When NLC threatened to strike, they highlighted their demands, which were the approval of a new national minimum wage and reintroduction of electricity subsidy. My point is, it makes sense to predicate any scheduled nationwide protests on a clear objective.

Tsarbomba:
The EAGLES have landed. No id!0t born of a woman can stop this protest, them no BORN you well. This will be the MOTHER of all protest, it will sweep like a hurricane accross african countries against bad/oppressive government. The youths have finally awaken from their slumber to TAKE BACK their country into their hands, and no amounts of paid zombies on nairaland can stop or quench the fire that is burning in them

Unlike the Kenyan protest which was triggered by proposed taxation, what is the sole goal protesters aim to achieve with the scheduled nationwide protests. I am 100 percent in support of the protest only if there is a specific objective the protesters aim to achieve. It is obvious that these protests will likely be driven by diverse motives ranging from ethnopolitical to socio-economic issues. If this is about putting an end to governance, reducing oil pump price to NGN 100, restructure the country and all, it is definitely going to evolve in sustained violence, potentially disrupting the fragile economic landscape of the country. From my experience, most Nigerians are emotional rather than logical when it comes to issues like this.

No she will watch me die of hunger.... You still sound stupid....

Perfect answer. I will pick my creditors over a child like you. At least the creditors have the capability to offer me loans in the future. Conversely, a child with zero IQ has nothing positive to bring to the table.

ihesiuloa:
Whenever you see comments like this, it just shows how some individuals like to play politics from everything that arises!

We don't care how many years the contract has been signed! It can be revoked for the interest of the nation and the people, to h*ll with ethics if it doesn't favour the country and it's populase!

How do you advised the NNPC that is is currently owing international oil suppliers over USD 6 billion and Afreximbank over USD 500 million. The truth is that Nigeria is broke. We exaggerate our financial strength which is the underlying reason the country has failed to exploit its numerous resources creatively.

strangest:
Another rubbish talk... So it's now a Nigeria for other countries first.... Not a Nigeria for Nigerians... They are protecting their source of income

My sincere apologies for engaging you in an intellectual discourse. To simplify this, let me come down to your level. If your mother took a loan and promised her debtors to pay them monthly with her firewood supplies, do you expect her to use the firewood to prepare dinner for your family first or pay the debt she owes? Your answer to this question will prove my doubts about your brilliance.

strangest:
Rubbish talk... You attend to your family first... Stop talking rubbish

Let me school you. The author is 100 percent right. NNPC currently owes international oil suppliers over USD 6 billion. The corporation also owes Afreximbank at least USD 500 million. These loans are usually services by what is called crude oil swap, which is an exchange of crude oil for loans. The existing agreement indicates Nigeria is unlikely to make any substantial gain from future crude oil sales. When people argue about the country's current economic condition and conclude that violent protests or Tinubu are the cause of the persistent economic challenges, it only exposes the fragility of their ratiocination.

we need at least a $100-120bn dollar reserves

Them suppose carry you go firing squad for peddling wrong information. In 2014, it was 40 billion dollars

I dey live for Lekki
I dey live for Lekki
I dey live for Lekki

Tinubu built Lagos
Tinubu built Lagos
Tinubu built Lagos 😂😂😂

One day una go wake up, see Shark dey your house dey sing "baby shark dodododotodo"


Tinubu built the largest swimming pool in West Africa and named it "Lekki"
And convinced stupid people to pay millions
Agba Scammer

Infact Lekki motto should be changed to

"Shey you want to Swim with the Big Boys ??"

House rent = 3 to 10 million per year

They don't even have clean water
Some buy bags of pure water to use and bath

Once it's Raining season,
Lekki turn into 5 STAR SWIMMING POOL

Dem go use Fine fine house deceive you
But no panic, na swimming pool u dey rent

A Mud house with pit latren is 10 times better than a Lekki mansion without clean water and drainage system.

Come to Mainland, They say Nooo
They want to Swim with the Big Boys
Make una enjoy una 10 million per year

Did you see Dubai when it flooded recently? The government even had to compel people against recording the incident. Have you seen fire incidents in the US, Portugal, and other advanced countries? Saudi Arabia also had to contend with heat and attendant high civilian casualties recently. While it is agreeable that the Nigerian government is reactive rather than proactive, it is logical to not exaggerate this by politicizing it.

TrackerSK:
What about blessing ceo

Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky, James Brown, Nkechi Blessing, Phyna...the list is endless. Funny some girls still look up to them.

If your girlfriend no dey follow Kora on social media, you no know wetin God do for you

She is not pretty.
I have no interest in this news.

Her surname is Owowoh, which means worwor

Lol I can testify to this...


They've access to earn the money while Tax and bills takes it away from them....



Buh in Nigeria we don't av access to the earning buh been happy is cheap and someone can invade tax and bill anyhow

Invade tax with what?

delzbaba:
What kind of useless name did this woman allow to stick to her like this, a southern woman for that matter.shame

After the article clearly mentioned her name, you still ended up referring to her as a southern woman. This country will not grow as long as the citizens continue to exhibit low IQ.

WorldRichest:
Yes, I am disturbed by my friends who lost their jobs in Intercontinental Bank when the gang of thieves whom Ogun go soon kee all of them illegally stole the bank from the owners.

Have you forgotten that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi who was used for the illegality has been disgraced and humiliated twice ?

What about Bukola Saraki that was the thief that initiated the evil plan? He is fighting to keep his ancestral home from being pulled down in the state that he and his family once lord over.

Several others involved in that Intercontinental Bank illegality will pay dearly

Are you talking about the same Akingbola that was indicted for pilfering billions of naira. It is infallible that sentiments becloud logic.

I thought Tinubu promised to attend the final.

Jman06:
So, all your little brain could think of is that I support Boko Haram? Much as I don't support Boko Haram and their violent ways, I also understand that they are fighting to correct one of the negative sides of Western education and civilization,,,which is the destruction of the traditional family system.

Every right thinking individual understands that education, especially women's education, tends to destroy the traditional family system. Women who are empowered via education and employment would still want the men to be the traditional men who are seen as the sole providers yet these women would not stick to their own traditional roles of being submissive to their husbands and taking care of the children and the house generally. This is the reason why many men are not interested in marriage these days.

Or are you not seeing the alarming number of unmarried men and women in the society Don't you realize that such situation threatens human existence on earth

Western education and civilization are good but we have to work on maintaining the family unit. If women know that they're not ready to change their mindset from what they think a man's role is in the family to the mindset that aligns with the current reality of women empowerment, then it is better to stop all the hue and cry about gender equality, girl-child education and women empowerment. We must then withdraw our women from schools and work places so they can go back to their husbands' houses and become that submissive traditional wives for whom traditional men paid dowry and catered for. The Taliban did it in Afghanistan, so we can as well do it here. You don't expect to eat your cake and still have it.

There is no moral justification for violent extremism. Extremism itself is a threat to human existence. The truth is in a liberal world, you have copious of choices to make. In this western world, there are submissive women who deliberately chose not to succumb to the societal norms. I will choose an evolving liberal world over your 'traditional' society.

I think oil companies are now moving to sustainable energy

That's the new oil

Is petroleum engineering a viable course to study in big 2024? I don't think so.

But since time revealeth all things, we shall know 5 - 10 years from now.

You are spot on. Shell's decision was influenced by the emerging global energy transition i.e. shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It is projected that that low carbon emission will replace fossil fuel by 2040. Shell is famed for strategic foresight and scenario planning, the company understands that non-renewable energy will become less lucrative in the near term. In the western world, electric vehicles are literally replacing PMS-powered vehicles gradually.

donproject2:
I know how you feel, I felt the same thing when I got carryover in my second semester 200L, mine was even was, I got 28 out of 100, it was like a dent in my academic career. I had 7 As out of 9 I did that semester though.

After that carryover grade in the course, I said to myself that I must have a perfect semester to atone the dent, that is, a semester with all As in my courses. To me, this will be the only way to makeup for that CO. I tried all I could from my 300 level, up till my 500l first semester, I couldn't achieve this, closest I was was 4.92. I lost the zeal to further pursue this.

Second semester 500l known for being highly eventful, excess thesis written and defenses left and write, I wouldn't bother on this promise I made to myself again, I would read normally becausethere was no stressing myself again. Wrote all my papers later that semester, they wouldn't let us see our final semester results normally, just a graduating list when it is ready to know our fate. I got my transcript after our convocation, I found out that I actually wrote 5.0 in that final semester, I got a sigh of relief and I could forget myself for that 200l carryover.

yours was even. No be only was na were

Globad:
He was about 40 when he became the chief of staff to BAT and became governor at 44.

OMG...I need to double my hustle

Can't believe that Fashola is just 60. Previously worked with BAT, was Lagos State Governor for eight years, Minister for another eight years. One thing about Nigerian politicians is that they all kickstarted their careers early. Unfortunately, they ain't ready to accommodate the youths.

Brace for a liter at 600naira, you have nothing to benefit, even when all raw material for cement is found locally Nigerian pay more than other African countries for cement thanks to dangotes monopoly , I am an independent thinker, b4 you blast me, what re his antecedents in the cement industry, we know them.

independent thinker, did you think about the billions of dollars Nigeria will save from the importation of fuel? Did you think about how the refinery would impact fuel subsidy? Did you think about how this development would create both direct and indirect jobs? Did you think about how it will impact on our fx and how it would spur the development of other indigenous refinerie?

Congratulations to Brighton...spures is the most useless team on earth

zero ambition. I am just concerned about Kane. He might end his career trophyless.

EnterpriseMan:
And a draw. With 2 wins we will end same points with liverpool and they will beat us on goal difference.

But i still see Newcastle dropping more points

Manutd needs 6 points from there remaining 3 games...even if Liverpool win all there remaining games, manutd will end the season with 72 points while Liverpool will finish with 71
