In the other thread, she claims they were note well kitted like the Americans.

Can she promise us similar numbers of winning with the Americans?

Are you serious with this post? You have one of the top athletes and you are under kitting her and yet asking if she can compete. Over familiarity dey do una. If you now hear that another country is offering her 1m dollars per year to run for them, you will call her unpatriotic.

Half truth and different operating regime. For now I will still only buy from Dangote. NNPC has been taking advantage of us.

If a couple says this then they have been pretending all those years or they are lying!!!

Now one remembers Kperogi's article. This is government of propaganda by people who want to recreate Animal Farm here.

Solid post. The best way to know someone's true nature is to give them power. Power intoxicates and deceives especially if you don't retain someone to whisper truth as painful as it can be to you.

A man can be all of this and the marriage will still fall apart if the woman is weak, selfish or irresponsible or just plain useless.

This post is not approved.

Do not judge this man unless you have been in this position before.

If you believe this, you will believe anything.

If you are envious of this, then you need a major attitude and mental check.

Did they just say 'had the potential for lower the President's standing'?

Bwahahahhahahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahaha

DSS is employing comedians ooo

Before rejoicing let us wait and see what the overpaid peeps want to do. I only trust them to act in their self interests.

I won't be surprised if Tinubu has summoned DSS to explain why they went after Sowore in this manner. The sheer stupidity of granting this guy the audience he has craved locally and internationally on a platter of gold deserves lashing.

I don't even know where to start with this one. Thanks for drawing more Nigerians' attention to Sowore.

Background

Everybody wants government to maintain highways, but nobody wants government to make the money to maintain the highways.

Once upon a time, long ago, government tolled the highways in order to generate the funds that it would use to maintain them.

In this video you can see that the chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters (military vice president) Brigadier Shehu Musa Yar'Adua paid the toll when he opened the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in 1978.

However, over the years, there were claims that the toll operators were corrupt and that they did not remit the funds to the government. Private companies were hired to run the toll plazas but the allegations of corruption continued.

Therefore, sometime around 2004, the Obasanjo Administration demolished the toll plazas. The government decided that it would impose a petrol tax and use that money to maintain the expressways, instead of relying on tolls.

(Some people believe that the demolition of the toll plazas led to the deterioration of highways like the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway).

President Obasanjo included the tax in the appropriation bill (budget) and he wanted to start collecting it before the budget was passed by the National Assembly.

However, the tax was opposed by many people.

Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos opposed it and threatened to sue the Federal Government and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) agreed with him. The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), led by Adams Oshiomhole, threatened to go on strike and both the Senate president and the speaker of the House of Representatives expressed opposition to the tax.

President Obasanjo decided to pause implementation of the tax, due to the opposition to it. The tax was included in the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Act of 2007, but the act states that the implementation of the tax will begin on a date to be determined by the Minister of Finance.

In other words, it is not a new tax and it will not commence on January 1st. The reason that some people believe that it's a new tax is because a new tax law (that harmonised all taxes) was recently enacted and this old tax was mentioned in the law.

So another item which BAT opposed and has now introduced. This should tell people that political opposition at times is based on the person across than any ideal.

Nigerians and talk!

If you don’t know something, why not keep quiet?

What is the meaning of what you just said?

“Waste business is a multibillion business?” 😅
All these motivational speaker sef

At times it is best to try and learn. A few people have whispered to me about the monies in waste collection. Dey there and be ignorant. Some people are making a lot of money in that space.

I trust neither of them to say the full truth. Someone in either or both camps has chopped monies and from the way this is going, in a civilised society there would be a proper investigation and report.

As much as I am not a fan of the current President, it is the greed of people that has destabilised the parties. It is known that most Nigerian politicians and their lackeys have no honour and are for sale to the highest bidder. They only get motivated to move without monies if they are being deprived from partaking in the feeding trough.

Nigeria is been lost gone. If otherwise you and many won't call a state from my region a no man's land.

Let's not pretend any longer. Everyone wants a divide and it start with state policing

Your accusation is baseless. I and many - I bet you think I am from a certain region - you don miss road.

I hate when people pretend to be stupid and naive. Na so they go sell their soul to Satan and be indicating ignorance.

Reason why I ignore messages for help from females. It is when they need help that they can say anything.

If you are from South West and you are not in support of State Security, you better think twice.

Northerners bring food and cattle to the region because that's their biggest market.
Easterns bring container into Nigeria from the region because that's their biggest market also.
The region is Nigeria economic power. So criminals (terrorist , banditry, kidnappers, fake products traders and even criminals who are southwesterners) from all regions comes in also. They also share our resources with South West.

With state police we can count them all and in charge of resources control.

This post is silly. We are all Nigerians and Nigeria's resources has been used to develop all parts of the nation.

Even with giving you the benefit of the doubt; you do not need state police to do what you have said.

State that can't fund it will retain the old structure, using the FG police. Is that too hard? While state that can fund state police will be relieved of the Federal Policing system and hierarchy in the state.

And how will cross boundary policing be done? What will be the battery limit?

WorldRichest:
So judges should be living in face ne I face you slums? When he did the same thing in Rivers, you and I applauded him, let’s continue in the same spirit

Which judge is staying in face me I face you slum?

Imagine a governor like Wike or Yahaya Bello with state police. The concern is on the possible abuse.

If true, foolish statement from Okowa. Who is he playing to the gallery for?

maxiuc:
Wike you are just playing yourself

You think you are talking to kids wike we are not kids

Actually we are kids based on the way we behave. Can you discipline them? Can they discipline us? The answers reveal the truth. I am not talking about ideal answers but the reality.

What will piss me off is any idiot who dares to shed innocent Nigerian blood over this. Carry yourself to the US and do your protest there.

There will be consequences due to this action. It may take years but they will show. This is not how democracy should be.

Mourinho just retire or go wait for a national team position, this every 2yrs sacking is becoming embarrassing

The payout is big monies o. At times I think that is what they target.

Looks at the discussion while realising I work 0700 to 1730 hrs. It is well.
