Politics › Re: Remi Tinubu Defends Federal Government's Empowerment Schemes At The Grassroots by ElevationD: 10:07am On Jun 26
Where is the money to start it? Even with the condition that APC has put Nigerians, many are still willing to bear the trauma and support the government. Why not kick start it by purchasing the needed equipment and purchasing the needed raw materials for those interested?

Nigerians have not had peace since 2015. It’s been one story of “bear with us” or another. Wetin Nigerians do una APC, abeg?
Politics › Re: Okpebholo Threatens To Sign Death Warrants For Criminals by ElevationD: 9:52am On Jun 26
The first time this Governor has made a decisive statement without playing to the Tinubu gallery.

Hopefully Governors in the entire federation can copy. Hopefully also the President can copy this. There should be no room for amnesty. These evil people use amnesty as their escape route to receive allocations and return to the forests. Hopefully Governor Sheriff can copy this and flush out these evil people who have taken over the forests around the state, particularly in and around Ughelli, Warri, Ezi, Ubulu Uku, and especially Ogwashi uku and Abraka that have been battling robbery and cultism endlessly. Abraka has suffered endlessly from cultism issues since it was established.

To be punished must be facilitators and sponsors.

If Okpebolo achieves this, it will be a great pass mark when the security score card of Edo state is read. This is six days since he made the statement. Hopefully the tribunal should be ready in the next nine days or so.
Politics › Re: Primate Ayodele To Kwankwaso: I Never Defamed You — It Was Just A Prophecy by ElevationD: 2:03pm On Jun 25
nedekid:
Silly man, don't openly and clearly apologize, by the time you are hit with 10b lawsuit, you to will have to compel your God to pay for you.
When I owned a bar back in the day, the turnover of glass cups and broken beer bottles was too much. This happened especially when there was football matches. Arsenal will score, one idiot will get up to shout and push the table, all the cups and bottles will break. I then gave instructions that any customer that breaks a bottle will buy that bottle or cup at 3ce the price infact we will make a profit.
Omo, few days later during a match I was at the bar premises, next thing was goal!!! Followed by the breaking of bottles and cups on one table. I told my staff to calculate the bill for the broken bottles and cups and present to them immediately. Guess what, the idiots were saying it was not their fault, shebi it is football they are watching, I told them no problem, they will pay the money then the can go and meet manU or arsenal to refund the money to them. Omo they paid and since that day bottles did not break during football matches again.
The charlatan pastor will pay the money then ask his God that told him to spew rubbish for refund.
But he stylishly apologized na. He did not deny the prophecy, as he transferred the responsibility to whoever sent him. Or maybe the prophecy was meant for someone else and he erroneously inputted Kwankwanso’s name. Now we are waiting to hear the words “I am sorry publicly”. Aside from that he should tell us how much he paid to get himself out of his mess.

We are also waiting for Kenneth Okonkwo. After his pride and show off, who knows, he may be making moves behind the scene to appeal to Peter Obi. Notice that he has not mentioned Obi’s name in the recent few days.

The same goes for Deji Adeyanju.

Reno Omokri escaped Tinubu’s hammer, with his public appeal and recanting his words, securing himself a job.

Lesson to be learnt: do not defame some particular set of people, if you do not have money to pay the costs.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iranian President Says Without Missiles His Country Would Be ‘just Like Gaza’ by ElevationD: 9:56am On Jun 25
Without Trump, Iran would have been like Gaza. Not the missiles, not the drones. Just Trump and his mouth. Left alone, Netanyahu would have completed the job. Iran is lucky that Trump announced that a whole civilization would be wiped out that last day. Left for Netanyahu, it would have mercilessly been the use of Jericho 3 to wipe away the horrible mullahs.
Education › Re: Ondo Expels Students, Withholds WASSCE Results Of Students Over Sign-Out Chaos by ElevationD: 9:44am On Jun 25
Kelklein:
How do you suspend students that just finished their final exams.. like I don't get it
I no sure say you go school well, otherwise you would have read well and understood better. Where did you read the word “suspend” there?

“For those in the video who are not in the terminal class, the Ministry has directed that they be expelled from school immediately”.

That’s what was written. Read and understand. Others like you who did not read liked your comment, as you used the word suspend. No be shame be that?

1. For those who graduated, withold their results and include them in the black book to be opened.
2. For those still in school who participated, expel them and put them in the black book.
3. The black book now to serve as control. Get expelled or suspended for some rascal or irresponsible behavior and you name enters the black book. That’s discipline. Teachers also were cautioned for their negligence.

Bros, na the long and short of the post be that.

helinues:
Annoyingly, when you see some people on this thread saying Primate Ayodele should be taught some lessons, it's just the hypocritical part of them

Go through their comments history and see how horrible they are than the person they are expecting to be prosecuted

The opposition and their supporters should change their surname to Hypocrisy
Always talking negatively. Go small school, una no go gree. Owo ounje, no let una see road.
With all the names that Tinubu, Soyinka and Tunde Bakare called GEJ, did he sue any of them? Why would Tinubu charge Sowore to court, if he himself could tolerate 5% of what he dished out as an opposition leader? What if GEJ chose to sue Tunde Bakare who stood on the podium issuing curses against him on that podium that day?
Politics › Re: Kwankwaso Threatens To Sue Primate Ayodele For ₦10 Billion by ElevationD: 9:32am On Jun 25
Bluntguy:
Why would Kwankwaso want to waste his time on that fake prophet?
Tinubu is not wasting his time on Sowore.
Obi is not wasting his time with Adeyanju.
Obi is not wasting his time with Okonkwo.
Tinubu let Omokri off the hook when he apologized, abandoned PDP and begged for a position.
Kwankwanso therefore must follow up with the political analyst that analysis political and contemporary world events in the name of prophecies.

The World Cup is ongoing presently. He did not predict the nations to qualify from all the continents. He did not predicts countries that will go through all the stages unto the final. Very soon, after watching teams get to the final, he will give us his prediction. What’s the difference between what he does and those who play either sports betting or baba Ijebu?

Kwakwanso needs to sue him too, just like Tinubu and Obi. There has to be some form of sanity and dignity when addressing people. It’s not everyone who can tolerate defamation.
Family › Re: A Would Be Bride Shows Off Her Family's Bride List by ElevationD: 9:19am On Jun 25
DesireV:
lolll
Yes, I don marry before and I know the Yoruba culture in and out. I studied it formally sef.

At least 60% of the items on that list aren't cultural.

In the Yoruba culture, nothing like bride's item section.

Imagine Maltina, 5alive, Coke, Goat, Cow in a Yoruba's bride's list?
The is even no alligator pepper on the list cheesy cheesy

Items on the list are symbolic. Yam, oil, salt, honey aren't because they would eat them. But apparently, things are changing which is even showing in the quantities of these items they now normalized these days.

Owo Omo Ile, Owo Omo Osu we know. What's Owo Okunrin Ile? I'm sure the elders in that family don go finish or they trusted a woke person to handle the list.

You can pick up even a secondary school Yoruba textbook and read up Asa Igbeyawo if you care to know the culture or use AI to generate a summary from academics sources.

Looks more like a freedom list actually
“You can pick up even a secondary school Yoruba textbook and read up Asa Igbeyawo if you care to know the culture or use AI to generate a summary from academics sources”.

So you think Asa Igbeyawo is universal in Yorubaland?

Lists over all cultures are meant as guides and not final deciders in traditional marriages. Families choose whatever suits them. That’s why you find many either subtracting or adding, depending on circumstances, capacities and families. No one list is final when it comes to marriages.

That's not "Iwo list" but that particular family's list which doesn't represent the typical Yoruba's list. A lot of strange items on that list.
Which one is “the typical Yoruba’s list”? You do marry before, or how many marriages have you attended? Or you think that marriage lists are the same across Yoruba land. Na so una go dey defend wetin una no sabi.

Hezmatosky210:
Some yorubas still have this old mentality that to marry an igbo girl cost a whole lot. If this list is right, then no difference undecided
No mind the hypocrites. That list alone is close to or over 2m if well calculated.

The truth is that for some Yorubas with no knowledge or understanding, everything Igbo takes away their sleep.

Meanwhile marriage remains what it is, irrespective of tribe, religion or culture. The northerners spend a lot more for marriages. Check Benue and Kogi states. Check the northwest, where just the dowry can be as much as 2m or more.

It is only the poor who lament and yet want the best. Cut your cost according to your cloth.

If anybody is expecting these politicians to end criminality and banditry, such person is on a long thing.

Just know these state governments will be handed their own state police.

Just think of how they will run it.
The reasons terrorism continues in the north of the country can be found in corruption and sabotage. The leaders have been accused severally of using terrorism and banditry and means to achieving wealth.

The country needs a very strong and determined leader to move the country forward.

But it was easy for Tinubu to ask GEJ to resign. All they said and did during the GEJ days now confront them. Rather than look for solutions, they haul insults and abuses. They are not willing to receive what they fished out. People wey no get shame.
Sports › Re: Worldcup2026: It's Unfair! Argentina Helps Messi, Portugal Disrespects Ronaldo by ElevationD: 6:54pm On Jun 22
Very incorrect. There’s a world of difference between both players. Messi is a complete team player. Ronaldo is a selfish player. Messi helps his team, improves his team and helps his mates at the club and country level. Ronaldo wants to be recognized all the time.

While Messi serves his mates, they serve him in return. He does not care who scores, as long as his team wins. Ronaldo on the other hand just wants to get in front. These days, he does not help the defense. He even is jealous of his mates sometimes when they score.

The greatest footballers ever:

1. Maradona
2. Messi
3. Pele
4. Ronaldinho
5. Okocha
6. Garrincha.

I tell you.

It is so disgusting, watching these wicked people turn the peaceful and decent world upside down, in the name of their religion. Carry you sharia back to your country. In Europe, practice sharia in Turkey. They leave Turkey where they cannot try the wickedness and go to France, Belgium, Holland, UK, etc to carry on their wicked practices, destroying the countries that welcome them. They can practice their beliefs in Qatar, Oman and Indonesia, which are peaceful, or they can simply go to Yemen, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan.

Once Israeli Jewish Zionists went after him, I knew he wouldn't survive.

His crime, he refused to support the ongoing Gaza massacre of children.

They fought him doggedly, but he stood his grounds.

If you wonder why Donald Trump is also acting the way he currently is, here lies your answer. They have him by the balls with blackmail.
He stood his grounds and yet resigned? No be on his ground e stand. E stand on his konkere.

Maybe you do not know that the British are tired of the disgusting fellows from Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, who only stock in trade is to kill citizens of the country in the name of sharia.

Why would Jordan and Egypt not accept Palestinians? Why would Egypt make the border so tight and Jordan make theirs impossible for Palestinians, who are their kith and kin, while you accuse Israel, who have treated them with humanity, yet they choose to hate them in return?
Foreign Affairs › Re: UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer Resigns (video) by ElevationD: 9:58am On Jun 22
Gradually the British are waking up. It may delay, but Nigel Farage will get there.

Very soon, it will be bye bye to radical Islamists and a return to Iran and Afghanistan where they can live and practice sharia. One wonders how violent people leave their countries and their cultures to relocate to another man’s country, with the intention of enjoying social benefits, while forcefully damaging the country with their horrible beliefs, culture and tradition.
If you do not want to see women in trousers, stay in your country and enjoy the ones who cover themselves top to bottom. If you want to pray closing entire villages and towns, stay in your own country and keep away from countries where you block the clean and well paved roads to pray.
Car Talk › Re: Advise For A First Time Ford User by ElevationD: 9:46am On Jun 22
pawsofdikeje:
I am trying to get a new ride and I would like to have a jeep due to my residential terrain.

I have been thinking of a Ford Edge but upon inquirying from a trusted mechanic and rewire, I was advised to run away from the car. Although, they couldn't give a specific reason.

Has anyone used this car and whats your advise for a first time Ford user.
A few years ago I was also going to purchase a Ford SUV, but an experienced car dealer of mine discouraged me. He mentioned the electrical system as the major issue. I took his advise. I do not know the situation presently. Again, I faced the same issue when I was going to purchase a BMW. However I bought it and used it for four years. Initially it was the No mechanic story, but I found a very good mechanic in Shomolu. The car went well until I sold it. I moved over to Mercedes and there’s been no cause to regret.

Aside from Mercedes, I have also focused on Honda and Toyota to have some peace.

So I think that you must first look around for assured mechanics. Get an honest mechanic, pay him well to check the car before you pay, if you are not sure of checking by yourself. While he is checking, ensure that he does not make any form of contact with the seller. Not even an eye contact. If you are in Lagos, check Ladipo auto spare market. You are sure to get good mechanics there. Also ensure to always purchase brand new car parts and brand new tyres.

Saturnalia:
The Country “Malaysia” hosted an International War Tribunal (KLWCC) established in 2007, tried & indicted George w. Bush & Tony Blair in absentia in “2011” for the unlawful invasion of Iraq.

To get back at Malaysia for daring to challenge the status quo, the Amerikan CIA in collaboration with the British MI6 - hijacked the Malaysian Flight MH-370 and flew it to an Island called “Diego Garcia” and then killed all the passengers on board.

The most annoying part is that the Amerikan Government was the first to join the search rescue team when the Aircraft was declared missing.

If you're looking for the most poisonous snakes in the world, do not bother to look in the forest or amazon, just go to Washington DC.

That was not enough!

The CIA in collaboration with the Ukrainian SBU shot down another Malaysian Flight MH-17 over the Ukranian Airspace and then blamed it on Mother Russia.

Mattswaggz:
Just recently Hezbollah first broke the ceasefire agreement and we hardly saw the reports in mainstream media but when Israel responded...it was everywhere.....it would seem that most media are against Israel as it stands.
It is not that it would seem, it is the reality. The irresponsible leaders of Europe have allowed themselves and their countries to be overrun and overpowered by radical Islamists, allowing sentiments to prevail over realities on ground.

As I have always stated, Netanyahu is the only President who knows that dealing with terrorists requires the eye for an eye rule. The Israelis never fail at all times to apply the “Samson’s option”, not allowing the evil people to get away with their crimes.

Because there’s no control in Lebanon, Hezbollah immediately after Israel agreed to end the strikes, fired, believing that there would either be no response or that they could use the response to further lie to the world that the Israelis were the aggressors.

I think that one of these days, the Israelis will have no choice but to use the Jericho 3 missile.

They made an attempt some weeks ago and Israel punished them for it - taking out the IRGC head.

Is that why they are cowardly resorting to shutting the Strait of Hormuz this time around?

This just goes to show Iran in deed fears Israel more than Trump

Trump MUST invade and CONQUER Iran for all this nonsense to end
No bro. Trump does not need to do that. Netanyahu is more than capable of doing that. With a threat to its national existence, Netanyahu will not delay to fire the Israeli nuclear carrying unstoppable Jericho 3 missile at Iran. That will be a replication of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Netanyahu will do that without caring about the spill over to the environments of other sorrounding countries.

As long as Netanyahu remains the Prime minister, Iran cannot carry out terrorist acts and find peace.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Israel And Hezbollah Continue Strikes Despite Ceasefire Agreement by ElevationD: 8:27pm On Jun 20
Mattswaggz:
When I first saw the 14 point peace plan between the US and Iran which included ceasefire in Lebanon without getting Israel directly involved and committed to the idea I knew they were as good as wasting their time........Israel hardly gets tired of fighting and unlike in the US where the political pressure is all about prices of energy and suing for peace....in Israel, the political pressure will be to deal with those it views as enemies BRUTALLY....as far as these guys have the ability to still throw drones,rockets and remain a security threat towards Israel....Israel will hardly get tired of dealing with them.

If Trump wants to make peace with Iran he should do it without involving Israel because they're willing to fight to the deaath and they won't rest until they see whom they view as enemies destroyed and they aren't ready to have anyone dictate to them what to do in this case.....so any peace deal imposing upon Israel what to do will hardly hold water except if they decide to sue for peace on their own.
If a bird flies without perching, a hunter will shoot without aiming.

As long as Iran and its proxies are determined to see the end of Israel, Netanyahu who understands the language, will keep speaking to them with the language of violence, which they all understand.

So far the Israelis have suffered very low casualties, while Hezbollah had suffered over four thousand deaths. Since they refuse to stop, the Israelis will not stop.

So for now, thank you very much to Mr. Trump. Please take care of America, as Mr. Netanyahu needs to take care of the Middle East.

turkey has been eliminated even if they level on points with australia or Paraguay in 3rd place or even if they score more goals…
Fifa has a new rule which is head to head
They’ve lost to Paraguay and Australia on head to head basis
So there’s no way they can climb over any of them to third place even if they win their last game 10-0
Simple as the below:

Has Turkey been eliminated from the World Cup 2026?

“Yes, Turkey (Türkiye) has been officially eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing their first two group stage matches.Their exit was sealed following a 1-0 defeat to Paraguay. Because they also dropped their opening match to Australia, it mathematically guarantees they cannot advance to the Round of 32, regardless of the outcome of their final group game against the United States”.
