Rather than improving the lives of Nigerians? Is this an attempt to short cut genuine competition?

Stupid comment by a small minded person.

chopnaira:
No wonder Anambra is looking like Dubai or Singapore.

🤣

What did Obiano do to drop poverty that much? The infopic suggests that 53.8% is a bit too high. Where is the data supporting this from?

Just checking - is the work of this chap just to badmouth and insult people?

Arambetimofeda:
In the judgement, the judge said in my opinion she should be called back and she must pay five million pounds. Let people be guided before making uninformed comments

So a Nigerian judge says a senator must pay 5 million POUNDS? tell your masters or handlers that you are messing up o

Plumptree has held her wing down defensively. Who called her the weakest link? She is playing LB as a IFB instead of CB.

GOOOOAAAALLLL

What happened to the fluid play that this falcons played against Zambia team ...is like they fear of Southy is beginning to come on them.what is happening to falcons?

Did you watch the games before the Zambia match? This is how they played in group stage. Nigeria found it tough to score. At least now they have (subject to VAR review). Zambia thought they could go toe to toe with Nigeria and found out the hard way.

To deal with Nigeria, play a low to mid block and we find it difficult.

I am worried about this Nigerian team - very worried. Some of our passes have been very poor. At least set pieces have been our joy but apart from that ..

Rikze:
What are you saying?

The post said she is the weakest link in the team yet from what I see if the defence was as woeful as the midfield and attack, we would be in trouble.

South Africa looks a far better team now - more comfortable on the ball and growing in confidence. Nigeria appears to have no strategy in her play.

Zambia made this team look much better than it is. The gaps in offensive and technical ability is showing. Cant finish passes.

This is disappointing. I wish the girls well but they need to step up. NB Ref that wasnt a foul - she tripped herself.

See how SA almost scored..

Rikze:


Plumbtre is one of the weak links in this match.

She appears fatigued

She is a striker that cant finish chances? She is a winger that cant finish or set up chances?

Someone was arguing with me on the Zambia thread. Nigeria will need to step up a level to beat South Africa. Zambia believed their hype. I hope Nigeria didn't become overconfident.

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.

Boyfriend should be arrested.

helinues:
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.

Felabrity:
I swear on God Nigeria is winning the trophy

This particular team can compete with any country in the world right now

Make dem quickly start Women World Cup

Please GOD himself said we should not make vows. I get you are confident but to make a vow hmmm that is not a good thing. Can you control all the outcomes, no!

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.

Well done Nigeria. Work isn't done yet. We should aim to win the final by GOD's grace.

Guy should stop talking rubbish. This man is out of touch with the common man and it looks like APC members are beginning to contradict the President who himself has admitted that we are yet to enjoy his 'renewed hope'.

Data and information are the nemesis of this government. If Peter is incorrect they should take him to court.

Zilch. They are given snacks. Also my kids know that now is the best time to start investing so any small money they get - they dey save am.

ADC is just a party of big time CROOKS. what a shame EFCC is too tooothless

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.

If Wike is telling the truth, Amaechi and his wife should be arrested. If he is lying, Amaechi should charge him to court.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's 'apology' letter to Akpabio

Sensible judge. I think this is a common sense ruling

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.

Going to Galatasaray was a major blow to his career ... that was a 4kd up move ...

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.

helinues:
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.

He should speak for himself. Every man is responsible for their actions and decisions. I don't agree with him.
