pep has 39 trophies... Ancelotti 25 trophies.... Pep is more decorated

Pep Guardiola is not the most decorated coach. For now he is 10 trophies away from the most decorated coach in history. Make a little research and respond to me.

Cheers.

Indeed Mr Azikiwe contributed in placing us in this bondage like contraption called Nigeria because of his fanatical yet unrealistic believe in Nigerian unity as a nationalist, but 6 decades counting, his vision of Nigerian unity is still a mirage, proving chief Awolowo vindicated as a realist and a visionary leader.
even during the Biafra / Nigeria civil war, Mr Azikiwe was still sadly deluded by his personal conviction of the imaginary Nigeria unity, to the extent that he rigidly refused to lend any support to the Biafra struggle and the yearnings of our people, i wish he was still alive to see the precarious situation, that his illusion of imaginary national unity had placed upon the victimized citizens of Nigeria.
Indeed Awolowo was the best president that Nigeria never had.

If Awolowo was a visionary, why then did he go ahead along with the west into independence with the rest of the country?

Since Azikiwe had clearly stated before independence that it would be treasonable, why would he agree with the secession plan, knowing that he along with the east were signatories to Nigerian independence?

Or did you not read that secession was debated deeply and Awolowo took the whole day to present his point? Or you do not know that if Awolowo was not convinced, he would not have proceeded?

The only bondage there simply is the bondage of voting for very horrible leaders. When you vote for those who violate you financially, embezzle the common patrimony, put you in servitude and perpetual misery, do not blame Awolowo, Azikiwe, Sadauna and the rest, who were honest leaders and wanted better societies for their people.

What does it mean that the authorities were not notified? It is not possible please.

Israel even appearing in the ranking shows their worth and capabilty and how good their weapon are..!!

And talking about weapons, it's not all about displaying latest weapon but how good and effective it is in the battle field...! We all know Israel have been in and out of various battles through this century and that has helped them test their weapons capability real time and not just theoretical capability..!!!

When it comes to what's is happening in the market both official and back door, official statistics may never would be able to capture all..!!

You got it dear friend.

Don't be fooled.
It's very easy to criticize or sound patriotic and intelligent when ur not on the hot seat.

Was atiku not in charge of our ports at one time?

Me wey I no sabi play ball, if u hear me dey analyze or criticize players and game play ehn, u go think say I be former footballer.


As VP what did he do that was very magnificent?

Take note that there was plenty money during his time o. And less debt

Atiku was not the President at the time. He headed the economic team, an assignment given to him by his President, Obasanjo.

Atiku brought ElRufai from BPE, who became a monster. OBJ brought Okonjo Iweala and Dora Akunyili. Nuhu Ribadu’s profile was very interesting and OBJ picked him, just like Soludo.The team came by recommendation from different individuals, just like Atiku was recommended to OBJ to become the VP. Obasanjo looked at their profiles and employed on the basis of professionalism and not politics. Atiku led the team for one term until politics made him attempt to remove OBJ.

There was no less debt. The debt owed the Paris club was huge among others. Madam Okonjo Iweala had the privilege of attending the best schools and having relationships with children of world leaders, including world leaders too. She leveraged on her personal relationships to secure the debt relief for Nigeria.

OBJ’s economic policies were sound and he had the political will to carry out the policies. Atiku lost his chance of becoming the President when he attempted to subvert OBJ.

BAT made all the mouth. He touted himself as the best thing after honey. The rest is history today. Some Nigerians were fooled by BAT and his group in 2014. He fooled them again in 2024. He continues to fool them.

EponObi:
This is very commendable from Alhaji Atiku. This is how opposition is played, not like the Agulu champion that move around like a noisy market woman.

I bet if Obi asked this question, no one will take him serious although it's critical one because his voice is already lost in his daily cho cho cho. Even the media don't listen to him again. That one will be behaving like a social commentator. Obi clearly has no team or advisers.

I'm sure Tinubu will respond to Atiku. Atiku is voice of the masses in this administration.

Which masses please? You and your group? The APC masses or supporters of the LP/Obi? Or are you a one man “masses”?

Is Guardiola truly the most decorated coach?
What has happened to a certain Carlo Ancelotti?

Beautiful house. Hard work pays. Citizens love and reward good.

Thank you Rita and the people of Ummunachi. God bless the great Anambra state.

But he installed the governor. I wonder how El Rufai has lost his sleep suddenly.

Evil men.

Thank God they were apprehended. I also believe that the fleeing one would be apprehended soon. Evil money used to attended foolish owambe and hist their girlfriends.

Someone close to me escaped by God’s mercy last month. He was booked to drive them to Badagry road. That same way they diverted to a lonely and deserted road. They got to a piece of land and asked him to wait. One of the evil two jumped down and pretended to go and examine a fictitious land that they claimed they were building on. The one inside the car took out his gun and held this my friend hostage. He robbed him of his phone and money. Just as he was doing that, his criminal partner called his attention from the land and commanded him to leave the innocent man alone. He used the words “innocent man”. That’s how the thief returned the phone and money. My friend shivering drove back home at speed.

E-hail drivers must be careful, especially when approaching lonely roads. I advice them to, as much as possible, never carry two or more men in their cars. Even women rob the drivers too.

Exactly...don't mind them islamist...Israel got nothing to lose not appearing in the expo..!!

Their weapons are tested and trusted and the world know this for a fact...they have their market and with or without the expo Israel would still make big sales in the weapon market...!!

Macron is simply afraid of backlash from the islamist the French people stupidly allowed into their country...!!

Israel still win here and would continue to win till all objectives are met in gaza..!!!

More bombs to IDF jets and more bullets to their guns...!!!

The Israelis lose market to their competitors, with the following world arms market export rating:

1. USA 42%
2. France 11%
3. Russia 11%
4. China 5.8%
5. German 5.6%
6. Italy 4.3%
7. UK 3.7%
8. Spain 2.7%
9. Of course Israel @ 2.4%
10. South Korea 2%

That show enables arms producers showcase what their latest wares and technology. Some are kept secret too. Huge transactions are made there. Israel is not ranked among the top 10 for nothing.

God1000:
I urge all sides to exercise maximum restraint


Both israel and Hezbollah have enough weapons to wipe each other out

Nope. Hezbollah has weapons to cause harm. Israel has weapons to completely destroy Lebanon.
Hezbollah must be careful, even as current international sentiments weigh against the Israeli destruction in Gaza, caused by the wrong and careless move of Hamas in October last year.

IIGB0S are the most executed tribe all over the world, yet you are still blaming others for what your people are doing around the world

I think you wrongly directed the question.
You should have asked your people why their stock in trade is the sacrificial offering of fellow humans for quick riches. They are known for that all over the world. Is there any doubt? Or do you want to blame others for that?

I should experience the ailment so I can respectfully address it abi? Your head is paining you!

Ok. Your back has started paining you!

Will Biden approve such? Especially with Democrat majority in senate.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been investigating alleged war crimes committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories, and there have been reports that the ICC may seek an arrest warrant for former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In response, the US Congress has passed a bill that would sanction the ICC if it moves forward with the investigation and potential prosecution of Israeli officials. The bill, known as the "ICC Sanctions Act," would authorize the President to impose economic sanctions on ICC officials and would also restrict US funding for the ICC.

As for whether President Biden would sign the bill, it's difficult to say at this point. The Biden administration has not publicly stated its position on the bill, and it's likely that the administration is weighing various factors, including the potential impact on US-ICC relations and the implications for international justice and accountability.

It's worth noting that the Biden administration has expressed support for the ICC in the past, and has emphasized the importance of international cooperation and accountability for war crimes and other serious human rights violations. However, the administration has also been criticized by some for not doing enough to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the Palestinian territories.

BoldBrainz:
Hazards of the job. Don't be unfortunate to come and be lying that one small push brought back some stupid pains from one yeye long time ailment that one can barely pronounce.

Nigerians lie too much! Two people will fight, first to get to the Police station will be claiming his house got missing during the fracas. I don't know the idiot who came up with that nonsensical reasoning. Thieves everywhere!

Maybe you have never seen someone suffering lumbar Spondylosis. Pray that you do not experience it, otherwise you will not term it “one yeye ailment”.

Very true....


They are just too violent and that is why they can't live in peace with their hosts whenever they travel out of their villages

And what will you do when you live with hosts whose stock trade is beheading others for wealth? Keep quite and clap your hands for them?

Very foolish of the security men.

Sometimes security personnel, especially the private one attached to banks, act like soldiers on rampage. We have not heard the part of the security men, but with the benefit of experience with them, one cannot but agree that they are capable of forcing things.

However, the strike was not in anyway violent. Everyone either say at home to rest, or went about other things peacefully, waiting for government and the labour unions to arrive at an agreement. Except they were working and beating the strike, there was no need for security men attached to the bank to attack the journalist.

Anyway, if the man feels aggrieved, he can forward his complaint to the police for further investigation. He can also institute civil charges against the offending men, if any.

I wonder why people tamper with their looks all in the name of not wanting to look old, I hope they can change their bones as well.

What about aging cells? Aging organs? General weaknesses associated with aging?

Anyway, we live in a scientific world, with more discoveries everyday on how to attain immortality. Can man play God?

Both the company and Nafdac has the responsibility to do the necessary.

The company has the responsibility to protect their brands from fake , by creating awareness through advertisement
Nafdac has the responsibility by clamping down on those criminals producing fake and changing of expiring dates.

Companies do all those. Determined pirates find all means to clone. How can you locate them all, when they are scattered nationwide?

One year of Tinubu: The man, the myth and the mediocrity - Abimbola Adelakun

This week last year, two things were enthroned in the Nigerian political space. One was the man, Bola Tinubu, who was sworn in as the president. The other was the myth of the man as a headhunter endowed with a unique instinct for sourcing the right talent and an astute administrator. So much was this idea of Tinubu as administrative capacity believed that his supporters were sure he would—to use the language of former Abia state governor Orji Kalu—forward Nigeria to all forwardness. Well, it is one year now, and we might as well start asking how that myth has fared.

Let me digress here to point out that two kinds of people propagated the myth of Tinubu’s governing capacity. In one category are those you might call the Know-No-Betters. These are those who have never seen—let alone lived in—a properly functioning city and therefore have no frame of comparison when they were told Tinubu would build Nigeria as he built Lagos. They could be beguiled by the travesty of Lagos, a city where property value costs a fortune but cannot even boast of something as basic as potable water because that is the height of their experience. Even when they see the seedy sides of Lagos, their desperation for an idol to worship pushes them to willingly blind themselves to reality by eagerly gorging on glossy photoshopped images of Eko Atlantic. When you can self-soothe with the visuals of utopia, dystopia becomes livable.

Then there are the Dishonest-Know-Betters—the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on peddling lies, distortions, sentiments, and blatantly voiced falsehoods. They have experienced functional societies so they know what we have is subpar but they still tell you it is sufficient. Nigeria’s future does not concern them because they have built a safe house elsewhere where they and their children will forever be untainted by the rottenness of the country.

So, how has the myth of Tinubu as a savvy administrator held up? Well, two separate policies might best illustrate how they have conducted themselves in office so far. On May 29, 2023, Tinubu pronounced the three words that immediately unleashed hardship on Nigerians who had already endured hell under the Muhammadu Buhari administration: subsidy is gone. Now, the issue is not that he removed the subsidy—that was already expected—but he was haphazard about such a significant step.

Here is why: about a month after that pronouncement, he announced that he could announce the decision because he was under the influence of some “spirits.” Please think about that for a moment. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria made a decision that would affect the lives and livelihood of millions of people, not because he had sat down and worked out a policy agenda with an economic team, but because he was pushed by some voices in his head? Wow!

If it was some “spirits” that took possession of him and forced the words out of his mouth, it means there was no thorough planning to see how the fuel subsidy removal would work, how to mitigate the resultant suffering, and how to assess if their programme was working. Even worse, it means he cannot fully take responsibility for the fallouts of such a programme since it originated from some forces. Whatever pain and hardship you will experience due to his policy decision is not for him to bear. After all, he only acted under some supernatural influence when he pronounced the policy into effect. That too is worth ruminating over: the man some people convinced themselves would turn Nigeria into a Dubai does not plan.

Then came this year when the same administration that told us that the fuel subsidy that helped to attenuate the economic reality was a waste also approved a whopping N90bn to subsidise the hajj pilgrimage. Again, this is worth a reflection: the man saw Nigerians groan in pain from his fuel subsidy removal and grovelled for help, but looked away. They insisted on delivering the hard shocks because the subsidies were supposedly a waste of resources. They offered “palliatives” instead. Their efforts in this direction were so poorly thought-out and poorly organised that they reversed the plan. So, while they had no answer for the pain of the generality of Nigerians and resolutely watched people suffer, they had no qualms catering to a tiny segment of the population embarking on something as privileged as a religious pilgrimage.

What is worse than Tinubu paying N90bn on the hajj this year is that he has to pay it next year, and the year after, and continue like that, especially as his second term election approaches. If he fails to sustain it, the Muslim population whose vote he is targeting through the humongous expense will not forgive him. Worse still, they would have forgotten what he paid in 2024. He has to keep up the spending. Given the Nigerian penchant to turn virtually any initiative into an avenue to siphon public funds, do not be any surprised if that N90bn starts ballooning yearly. You assess the situation he got himself and long-suffering Nigerians into, and wonder how a man who was so mythicized could unravel that quickly. When it came to administering pain and shock, Tinubu was possessed with the spirits of “courage” and “freedom” as he gayly put it. When it came to standing up to religious and ethnic sentiments, his pandering revealed those spirits as “cowardice” and “economic bondage.”

But that is not only where the legion spirits of indecisiveness have possessed the man. First, he took forever to assemble a cabinet even though he won the election in March. He had enough time to decide on a team; he just took it for granted. By the time he unfolded his team, there was initially some confusion over who had made the list. When the final list was unfolded, it was anything but inspiring. Even some of his supporters who had boasted that he knows how to look for the best people were disappointed by how many of those nominated were recycled from the garbage cans of the past administration. To think they even expanded the cabinet just to take some clowns on board.

He signed the Student Loan Act into law, but they later withdrew it with the promise to return. Till now, they are still fumbling through the launch. He recalled ambassadors from their posts, but it turned out that he had no plans in place to replace them. He also proposed the Green Tax but had to reverse it when the introduction turned out to be ill-timed. Then there were the Import Tax Adjustment Levy, Expatriate Tax, and the Cybersecurity Levy that were introduced but needed to be reversed. He will probably go down in history as the president with the most reversed policies in the history of governance at the rate he is going. Even the construction Lagos-Calabar highway, announced with fanfare, had not been fully thought through. Then the blatant and needless lies such as the UAE visa ban and the Maersk affair suggest that they lack any integrity. If they cannot be honest with even the simple things, why should you trust them on the big things?

Plot all of these together, and you come up with a solid picture of a man whose administration lacks coordination and takes decisions based on what their hormones (and some spirits, of course) dictate. Tinubu’s myth as an efficient administrator that has always been propped up with media propaganda and self-serving intellectuals has severely unravelled, revealing an unpleasant picture of the man, the myth, and the mediocrity. To think we are going through this after “16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party” and “eight years of Buhari.” Add the past one year, and you see 25 directionless years. God help somebody!

Tambuwal and his group who joined the so called progressives to introduce APC to Nigerians, should bow their faces in shame. He should please close his dirty mouth. They brought this problem to the entire country, which has lingered since 2014.

Joe Ajaero of NLC is very stupid. If an oil producing state like Abia cannot pay the paltry sum of 30k minimum wage, how will anybody be able to pay 400k minimum wage? The dwarf is just using NLC as a labour party offshoot to destabilize the country.

What a shame.

Please can you explain to us what all these are about?

OBIdients to the rescue please. Let’s pool resources together and rescue that community from outbreak of cholera and other water borne diseases.

Are you not aware of high rate of fake and expired products in Nigeria? Where people clean the expiring date or change it ? Fake baby foods , drugs, tomatoes paste , power milk, fizzy drink etc

If the product is fake, how can you blame the company?
Where people clean or change labels, will you blame the company?
Where the original costs 5K and your purchased cheap or expired versions at 2K, will you blame the company?
If the company sues the man for maligning their product or organization, will you blame the company?

Very sad, very terrible experience. It causes deep pain and shock.

A few years ago, I allowed my cousin drive my BMW from Apapa to Ijora to buy some items. It should not take hi more than one hour. It was a rainy day. After three hours, he returned without the car. When I asked him, he said that he get into deep water and the car stopped. I quickly dashed to the place with him, as it was getting late in the evening. On arrival there, some mechanics who claimed to know all quickly appeared. Electricians also came. They tried to start the car but it would not work. They cut off some wires and I was worried. Suddenly the wires sparked and the car caught fire. See panic and running around. I brought out the fire extinguisher and the started getting buckets of mud water. It took some time and it stopped.

In those minutes, I was in deep shock and fear. I thanked God for saving the car. I towed the car to my BMW engineer and he took two days to fix the car properly at a great cost.

The manufacturing and expiry date are stated there.

However the man failed to show images of the weevils. How can we believe the story?

Cereals just like grains are agricultural products that are susceptible to pest infestation. You can find them in food like beans, rice, wheat, etc. The a hole into seeds and habit there. I think there was oversight while processing was going on. Possibly also the weevils escaped while processing was going on and got packaged into their packs.

It is not enough to go to social media to disparage the organization, or put citizens on high alert, as noticed. There is a possibility to damage the reputation of the organization.

It is unfortunate.
