I will be honest. I am reluctant to pray for him but for GOD's love which was undeservingly granted to me - I pray he gets well and repents from his ways and makes full restitution to all those he has wronged.

Perhaps you have not been watching the super Falcons in this competition.

Zambia did not even have a single short on target in our last game which we defeated them 5-0 upon all their online noise
That was Zambia. Did you watch all our matches? Zambia were very disrespectful. They bought into their hype and thought they could go toe to toe.

Currently with those in the semis, Nigeria is the favourite. Morocco have been getting penalty in almost their matches.

South Africa drew with small Tanzania, struggled with Senegal. Ghana, those ones are customer daada in female football
Morocco are the favourites. They have home advantage. Nigeria hasn't done so well when an opponent sits deep and we have to break them down.

Just ADC? What of APC? Both parties are full of crooks. People are on here trying to convince that their thieves are better than the others. Meanwhile Naija inflation is solidly above 30 per cent and there is rising insecurity. Continue choosing between two groups of people slowly killing us.

PoliticsRe: While Nigeria Bleeds, The Presidency Chases Titles Abroad by Druss(m): 9:50pm On Jul 02, 2025
The more I research on the links between Tinubu and St Lucia - the more my mouth goes wide open.

https://westafricaweekly.com/gilbert-chagoury-the-convicted-money-launderer-behind-tinubus-global-image-and-domestic-ambitions/

In recent years, Chagoury has resurfaced as a major power broker in Nigeria, especially since the election of President Bola Tinubu in 2023. The two men have a longstanding relationship dating back to Tinubu’s days as governor of Lagos.

Their alliance became increasingly visible when Chagoury’s Hitech Construction Company was awarded the multibillion-naira Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract, a project criticised for a lack of transparency and environmental violations. Making matters more contentious, Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, sits on Hitech’s board, igniting widespread allegations of conflict of interest and crony capitalism.

Chagoury also reportedly provided the private jet used by Tinubu’s delegation on his 2024 state visit to South Africa, further highlighting the financier’s embedded role in state operations.

Although unelected and officially outside of government, Chagoury is widely regarded as Tinubu’s right-hand man, a quiet fixer with the money, experience, and international networks to shape policy, steer contracts, and protect elite interests behind closed doors.

As President Bola Tinubu’s administration deepens its grip on Nigeria’s public institutions, one name continues to surface behind the scenes of major deals, diplomatic flights, and controversial infrastructure projects:

Gilbert Ramez Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire businessman, convicted money launderer, and former bag man for Nigeria’s late military dictator, Sani Abacha.

While his name rarely appears in official press releases, Chagoury’s fingerprints are visible across key decisions and financial flows under Tinubu’s administration, raising serious questions about state capture, corruption, and influence trading at the highest levels of government.

A Legacy of Kleptocracy

Chagoury first rose to notoriety in the 1990s as a close associate of General Sani Abacha, who ruled Nigeria with an iron fist from 1993 until his sudden death in 1998. Abacha looted an estimated $2–5 billion from the Nigerian treasury, much of it siphoned out of the country with the help of trusted intermediaries, Chagoury among them.

In 2000, Swiss prosecutors convicted Chagoury in connection with laundering funds tied to Abacha’s looting. He agreed to forfeit $66 million to the Nigerian government, a settlement that let him avoid prison. At the time, Swiss authorities described him as a key handler of illicit state funds.

Despite this, Chagoury remained untouched by Nigerian law enforcement and quietly rebuilt his reputation through real estate, construction, and political philanthropy.

From Vatican to West Africa: A Diplomatic Shield in St. Lucia

To protect his international standing, Chagoury cultivated deep relationships in Saint Lucia, a small Caribbean island nation. He currently serves as Saint Lucia’s Ambassador to the Holy See and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO.

These posts afford him diplomatic immunity in key jurisdictions and access to elite international forums, including the UNESCO Executive Board, where he successfully helped Saint Lucia win an influential seat. In 2015, he was awarded the Saint Lucia Cross, the country’s highest civilian honour.

His ambassadorial status functions less as service to Saint Lucia and more as a legal shield and image-laundering mechanism, according to many.

No it wasn't. Osimhen is still recognised as a top striker. Napoli should let him leave on a free. Shebi he is useless to them.
SportsRe: Conte Bars Osimhen From Training With Napoli First Team, Banished To Youth Team by Druss(m): 8:50pm On Jul 01, 2025

Osimhen should also come down from his high horse and work things out with Conte even if he's leaving the club. How are the other players in Napoli doing it that Osimhen can't?
Do not blame Osimhen for Conte's behaviour. Victor will be fine. Antonio needs to come down from his own high horse. He likes doing this in clubs.

SportsRe: Favour Ofili Dumps Nigeria For Turkey, To Receive $500,000 Base Payment by Druss(m):
bazoodo:
go figure how much a professional athlete takes to prepare for the Olympics. You think it's a joke. She freaking lives in the United States not Naija and the cost of living and all. She employs staff coaches and all
I think you overestimate how many athletes have access to the kind of funds she has. This is the amount without sponsorship from companies. The 500k is a very good deal for her and will go a long way. She is in a far better position now.

Did further research. If she gets similar package to the Jamaicans, she will get 30k dollars per month and up to 1m dollars performance bonus.

You are on some ISH. To almost all athletes that is a solid amount of money. Note that 500k is base not final amount. She will chop more.
