What Ife- Modakeke people are regretting is what you are doing. Continue ! Your kings and chiefs with their children will not fight .Keep destroying your property and wasting your children's lves because of vanity. Continue ! I repeat Continue! Orin yin a pe to baya! Thoughtless people!
ImpactBooks: Dear NLs, please I need your guidance on this issue. I am on the verge of applying for my first annual leave with my present employer. But the information I have gathered from my colleagues at work have it that the company usually count weekends as part of the annual leave days.
Note that in my employment letter, it was only started at I shall be entitled to 28 annual leave days and also that the company usually work Monday - Friday.
Is it right for the company to count weekend as part of my annual leave days? And what does the Nigeria Labour Law says about this?
arantess: They will call you enemy of progress for saying facts.... Look at the other games banging in the goals everywhere, but naija games are just dull but people no wan hear truth because of fake patriotism.
You are right ! Truth is bitter but it must be said. Sincerely Cape Verde and EG impressed me yesterday with their fighting spirits! Nigeria has an uncordinated team with individual players.Can one tell me what Musa is doing in the team?
No natural midfielder in the team! The forward is weak and uncoordinated .Osimeh is yet to show precinessand accuracy.at goal characteristic of a striker.
Truvelisback: Good day, fellas. The Nigerian Banking System is very weak. Once you lose your phone, you lose all your money in your Bank a/c. This is very bad.
If yiur phone is missing quicky contact yiur banks and block yiur accounts. Pronto
tishbite43: You're simply deceiving yourselves, you and Soyinka. There was no plan to annul nothing. I can only believe that Buhari didn't want Tinubu to be APC's standard bearer so he might have harbored fantasies of Atiku winning it. The Igbos want Biafra. The sooner you accept this reality, the better for everyone.
Creeper: Lol, stop lying to yourself. The real powerbrokers in the North and a lot of their buddies in the south didn’t want Tinubu. Tinubu and his allies (both in the North and South) just outsmarted them.
I’m not even a fan of Tinubu (I hate Obi and Atiku - both are utter useless) but it was plain to see for anyone who understands rudimentary politics.
Prof. Wole Soyinka isn’t just an erudite academic - he’s a revolutionary/activist and he understands things better than a lot of you vacuous and puerile youths, that populate the internet with sadistic/ignorant noise, hence he had to wade into the conversation when he did. And it was timely and well-executed because he was basically telling them he can see the cards that they’re playing.
Let me drop 2 excerpts from the essay he addressed to Obidients/Obi/Datti last year titled: Fascism on Course
^The ‘favourite maverick’ he was alluding to in the 3rd excerpt is Tinubu. I was going to let the cat out of the bag when it dropped last year but thought it was unnecessary.
Those who fought for democracy in Nigeria are in-charge now after dethroning the old guard and the functioning retard cum demagogue amongst the lazy, uneducated and drug-addled youths.
Your comment and opinion are appreciated and respected Thank you my brother!
What is the name of the conductor? Imagine the kind of torture he made this mam to pass through.
Could be the reason the owner didn't believe hagree
He has used the bus to pay upto 700k, with maybe the same conductor. He also knows the Conductor can drive, which means the Conductor has driven the car before. Why did his Conductor suddenly change to become criminal? I wish the name and photo of the Conductor will be published. People may even be able to identify him here on Nairaland
I agree with you! It is a harrowing experience to suffer for what you know nothing about

RingRoadCartel: Is this man insane? Okay, so since it didn't happen, who sai? Is Nigeria better off? Are Nigerians enjoying the fruits of Democracy? Is there really any difference BTW what we call democracy in this country and an actual military dictatorship?
As far as we know, this one is worse because in the military things are done fast and decisively, whereas what we have here is a situation whereby other arms of government still worship the executive, but still there's a lot of bureaucracy which makes policy making tideous and much more expensive.
Don't even get me started on how the so-called democratic government doesn't listen to the judiciary. They detain innocent people for as long as they like regardless of how many times the courts have freed them. Tell me, what is really different? This one is even worse because it is more expensive to run!
With due respect to Prof Wole Soyinka,no plan to annul the election.The North wanted BAT and he won. If the SE man won it would be annulled. That is even remote! The North for reason they know best would not hand over power to the SE. If any SE man becomes the president without the consent of the North, the region would ensure the government would not last . The election that brings the person in will be annulled.
My SE people should not be angry oo.I am just saying the reality!
What did we achieve so far in the last eight years? All his decisions are being reversed by the incumbent president! Anyway Buhari used the North regime.Now it is the turn of the South. Good luck to Nigeria!
GreatBoss: My Nairaland people, see what I saw trending on Facebook this morning.
@General Ditari.
What the writer shiukd have done is to out the name in an inverted comma to show that it has contextual meaning not denotative meaning! Communication. goes beyond writing and talking.It involves how People will view and interpret nyiur message!
The main opposition will come if the Mega party presents a strong Yoruba man as it's candidate.Ehi is the Yoruba man that will contest and win BAT? The North which is the decider of the election will vote BAT again!
So after my sister insisted that she would not go to the hospital to avoid amputation, we decided to respect her choice and allow her continue with the traditional medicine. This is the state of her leg two years later.
Mine is YAKUBU AIYEGBENI. Despite his Atrocious World Cup Miss in South Africa 2010, I believe he still remains one of the Best Strikers this country has produced.🙂
God1000: And we're still suffering it till date, the exit of Enyeama from super eagles without having another good replacement will continue to haunt us.
Olishe was the best natural midfielder in the history of Nigerian football. I respect him. The connection between Olishe and Rasheed Yekeen is unequaled.
. The SC has once again demonstrated it's legal power to interprete the law beyond letters. Same action was take on Obi vrs Tinubu 2023 when it upheld that 25% in Abuja is a condition to set aside BAT election. Some oppositions vituperated on the judgment because it was in favour of BAT.
Today the SC held that though Electoral Act recommens ratification and stamping of ballot papers it should not be a condition for deduction of Yiusuf votes since the ballots were prepared for the election.
Those condemning BAT victory at the SC are now praising SC today when it went beyond letters to decide the matter.
In my opinion like BAT election victory , logic plays a role in the interpretation of our constitution. I agree with the apex court too.Congratulations to the NNPP governor! It must be noted now that a lacuna has been created with this judgement. In a state election, ballot papers meant for Ife Central Local Government in Osun State can be used in Olorunda LGA. INEC can use any ballot papers anywhere!

Glimpsetv: Curiosity was sparked when the construction company overseeing repairs on Third Mainland Bridge was recorded 'sacrificing' three rams before starting the repairs.
In the video, three lifeless rams were observed on the ground, their blood filling a container beneath their placed necks. Men, including a foreigner, were seen moving around during the sacrificial ritual.
This has prompted numerous questions, with some scrutinizing the necessity or significance of such a sacrifice before addressing a damaged section of the popular Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
So, the question arises: Do you believe this is necessary? What are your thoughts on this matter? Feel free to share your opinions in the comment section.
A true christian must believe that there are evil spirits Eph 6 11-13
The road workers believe those water spirits must be appeased to finish their work.
Apart from those people ,those who drive wood lorries "Agbeklodo ". do not do their work without any special protection . We are indeed in the world where everyone is treading carefully on matters.

Would it be a funny question if I ask who the greatest Nigeria Super Eagles player to wear the number 10 jersey is? I believe nearly everyone would chorus Okocha. But what if you are wrong?
What if history and stats say otherwise?
Today, we'll explore the greatest Nigerian players to wear football's most iconic jersey number; 10
📌Jay Jay Okocha 📌Etim Esin 📌John Obi Mikel 📌Henry Nwosu
🦅Etim Esin: Nicknamed "African Maradona" because of his exceptional talent, Etim had one of the shortest period with the Super Eagles but cannot be ignored. He's seen by international media as one of the most gifted players Nigeria has ever had.
Etim made just 8 appearances for Nigeria, 6 of which were World Cup qualifiers. Etim's career was cut short because he was reportedly banned by FIFA on accusation of raping and impregnating a minor during his playing days in Belgium, something that was later proven false after the Belgian girl gave birth to a child with no trace of black blood. Despite being vindicated, the incidence, coupled with his other past discipline issues had already dented his football career badly.
Late Stephen Keshi has this to say about Etim Esin "We had Etim Esin and relied so much on him. The team was built around him because he had so much skill and had so much to offer. So we said this is our “Diego Maradona” in Nigeria because he can do anything with the ball. It was like he was born with the ball.”
Etim's International stats are: 📌Debut: 1987 📌Position: CM 📌Appearances: 8 📌Goals: 1 📌Assists: 0 📌Trophies: 0 📌Duration with Super Eagles: 1 year
🦅Jay Jay Okocha: If Etim Esin is known as one of the most gifted players from Nigeria, then Okocha is one of the most gifted the world of football has ever produced.
Okocha was never named after anyone like "African Pele" or "African Maradona". Okocha was simply Okocha, and that name was and still is a BIG NAME.
Okocha represented Nigeria at 4 AFCON and 3 World Cups, winning one AFCON and being included in a World Cup Best 11.
Okocha left Super Eagles as Nigeria's best dribbler, best freekick taker, best passer, and most entertaining player.
His international stats are; 📌Debut: 1994 📌Position: CM, AM 📌Appearances: 75 📌Goals: 15 📌Assists: 2 📌Trophies/Medals: 9 (1x AFCON Title, 1x AFCON Top Scorer, 2x BBC African Best, 1x Olympics Gold Medal, 1x AFCON Silver medal, 3x AFCON Bronze medal) 📌Duration with Super Eagles: 12 years (1994-2006)
🦅John Obi Mikel: Stepping into Okocha's big and heavy shoes almost immediately was young John Mikel.
Fresh from an outstanding U-20 world cup where he was second best to Leo Messi, Mikel caused a transfer tussle between Chelsea and Manchester United before arriving at Nigeria's senior team
His arrival was highly anticipated as he had already shown his calibre at the U-20 World cup.
Mike represented Nigeria at 5 AFCON, 3 World Cup, 1 Confederations Cup, 1 Olympics, 1 U-20 World Cup and 1 U-17 World Cup.
📌Debut: 2005 📌Position: DM, CM, AM 📌Appearances: 91 📌Goals: 6 📌Assists: 12 📌Trophies/Medals: 8 - (1x AFCON, 1x Olympics Bronze, 1x U-20 World Cup silver Ball, 1x U-20 World Cup Silver medal, 3x AFCON Bronze medal, 1x CAF Most Promising Talent) 📌Duration with Super Eagles: 14 years (2005-2019)
🦅Henry Nwosu Henry Nwosu is remembered as Nigeria's youngest player among the AFCON 1980 winning team. He represented Nigeria at 4 AFCON,
His international stats are; 📌Debut: 1980 📌Position: AM, RM 📌Appearances: 60 📌Goals: 8 📌Assists: 0 📌Trophies: (1x AFCON, 2x AFCON silver Medal) 📌Duration with Super Eagles: 11 years (1980-1991)
My choices are Sunday Olishe and Okocha! Mikel Obi was always slow in passing ball. Instead he would be turning around like a barber's chair. Olishe was a natural midfielder . He passed ball quickly like Fabregas. After Olishe was the turn of Okocha. ....That is all
