WE must patronise made in nigeria products, especially if it meets the standard.
I hope the 2016 census becomes a success.

Gunzilla: The woman is desperate jare ! If your son is that good,theres no need to bribe NFF by paying MRI,feeding and sundry fees yourself! So cos you come from Yankee and was called into their camp,makes you think you'll walk into the Naija team ? I love her Patriotism, and i surely dont want lose lose any nigerain kid to a foreign team,but the Coaches have been using style to tell you that your son does not fit into their plans, and you no wan take hint! Let him go back to US and prove himself and if hes still a patriot,and any good,we'll take him.If not then Godspeed!

You are seeing what i am seeing, some kids are too emotional to look at issues Objectively.

She claimed her son was 16, the onus was on NFF to prove her wrong.Instead of the mom giving out N100,000 to the oficials, NFF was supposed to have paid for the MRI test.


MRI test is also not 100% fool proof, there was no way stanley okoro of Nigerian 2009 world cup under 17 team would have been less than 17 years, though the MRI test proved otherwise. the same with the team captain fortune chukwudi who also passed the MRI test, even when a former green eagle player claimed he knew him and he was not less than 25 years.

At this year under 17 African nation cup, 3 of our players were sent home during the tournament for failing MRI test done by CAF, those 3 players most likely were screened as okay by NFF initially.

it could also be those NFF criminals collected money from the woman and conducted a placebo(dummy) test on her boy, lying that they have done MRI test.

All the same, the boy can put NFF to shame in no distant future, if he soars high enough to be noticed, and might be invited to the national team on a higher pedestal. I wish the boy luck.

delors: Festus Keyamo, the radical, outspoken activitst who has, for long, vehemently kicked against political insincerity, has become a politician himself. Gunning for Nigeria's Senate.
A sheep that walks with a dog, will soon eat pooh. Keyamo will soon soften his voice and start patronising Nigerians with sayings like "we are working on it. You know, my brother (while adjusting his flowing agbada) it is not easy. At all. Politics is very hard. But trust me, we are on top of the situation"

Insincerity is a major problem in Nigeria. It seems no one can solve the problem without being a politician. soon, every activist will join APC, ACN, PDP HIV, etc in the name of rendering selfless service to help Nigeria while helping their pockets and bank accounts with taxpayer's funds.
If Mahatma Ghandis of the this world, the martin luther kings, etc were politicians, I bet their countries wouldnt be as good as they are now.
Soon, Festus Keyamo for Governor (win at all cost), Festus Keyamo for President (win at all cost)...

So you prefer the good guys not to join politics but instead stay as arm chair critics?
Let the bad guys and incompetent ones be involved in politics, isnt it?

What is the problem with nigerians?

double post

Ngige was actually stoned through the laptops of some ethnic jingoist

brownlord: Bro stop displaying ur foolishness on this thread now, that your parents was nt there to support u does nt mean thts hw its suppose to be, hw do u expect a 16 year old to come to a country shez never bn to? And u still defending ur stupidity

You are an emotional idiiiot, i doubt if you know your parents.

Where in my post did i say it is wrong for the mother to bring her boy to the camp?

delors: No! She did what every mother would do for her son to excel. Ordinarily, she shouldnt have paid all those expenses but mothers have blind love for their kids. She did the right thing. Otherwise, the boy could ask himself (later in life if he fails) that why didnt mother pay for all those expenses then? maybe things could have been different now.
The Nigerian system is polluted. That's the problem...every sector is polluted.

I understand the mothers love for their children, those useless NFF officials also manipulated her on sensing her willingless to go "overboard" to see her boy making it. I have a strong feeling she paid some money to those thieves.

touch4mony: how was she desperate? my dear if u knw nigeria football system well u will knw the woman jst said d truth about what hpn,i went tru d same tin in delta force and Anambara pillars.i guess u hv nvr played football apart from d street sunday sunday if u played at all

I understand what you mean, if you take another perspective of the woman's step, she appears too desperate also.

You dont cast pearls to swine.

brownlord: Live that guy, parents dont support children in their family, you only struggle to achieve ur dreams urself so dont blame him

Dont talk shiit!, ok. Never in your miserable life say that shiit again on an anonymous forum.

banky222: nope ! she is a caring mum.

Why did she concede to pay for the MRI scan? Why did she have to pay for feeding/accomodation bills of her son, while in camp?

Her son was the one offering talent, and not the other way round.

I wont be surprised if those NFF officials also collected wads of dollars from her, although she will be afraid to say that.

I guess the mother was also too desperate.

I guessed as much, any sensible and objective person who reads the report as credited to "247 reporters" should be able to spot the inconstistency. I made mention of it in that thread. There is another thread "about heaps of refuse taking over imo state" emanating from this same "247reporters".

I sense an anti APC agenda.

ketoprofen: early development. . That was arrested in the 60s and stopped since then. While odas moved forward

Only public buildings make sense in Ibadan and the western region, d rest are still old, sorry looking houses

The rusty roofs you see shows that of houses built at least 40 to 50 years ago in central ibadan, I dont agree that the development was arrested, at least, over 70% of private buildings houses in Ibadan do not have such rusty roofs, most aerial view of ibadan seen online are not a true reflection of the overall state of the private houses in Ib. Brandishing aerial views most likely taken from Mapo hall of places like Beere, Oja-oba, and some few areas in ibadan is misleading to an outsider. Ibadan is larger than most states in Nigeria with at least a population of 3 million.

An aerial view of Makoko in lagos is not a true reflection of overall state of Lagos.

But, i thought Nigeria lost that match 1-2, as against the op claim of Nigeria winning the match 1-0. I remember it was double tragedy.

The Old rusty roofs aerial view of many SW capital cities is the prize for early development.

The report seems fraudulent.

How can an APC youth leader be canvassing for contestants on another party platform?

Ngige & Soludo are still the real contenders , all others are pretenders.

Obi has trump up tribal sentiments, which is obvious to any reasonable fellow, conscience is an open wound only truth can heal it.

Make NITDA give scholarship for nigerian universities too na, abi na so my 84 go just waste?
BTW, which kind high score those 2 gurus from osun get ?

she looks pregnant. congrats to her on her new step

Many believe that the party may not be so disposed to conduct free and fair primary election because of the need to have a strong and better candidate that will face other parties in the election.

This explains why the defunct ACN chooses to pick their candidates most times by consensus , many times primaries are over rated and do not necessary produce the strong and better candidate, should there be a free and fair primary in APGA, there is no way Soludo will emerge.

that was a thick simultaneous visit, a president, former president, four serving ministers and presidential adviser on inter party affairs.......

whizkidy: Hello, i Got it. Am from ekiti state. Scored 84

congrats bro, that was my score too, but i failed to make it from my state.

Government need to set up grazing reserved area.

i think Soludo will be the best man to emerge from APGA,but i believe there is less than 50% chance that Soludo will get the APGA ticket, i might be wrong though.

I did not see any thing about plan to increase IGR.

PointB: What if they have no relatives, or are unwilling to relocate for sundry reason? Let's assume someone who became a Nigeria citizen by naturalisation, birth etc becomes destitute in Nigeria, where do you deport such individual to?

What if ?!!!! Every one has a root, 99.9999% of the time,people have relatives in their state of origin.

That someone is poor doesn't necessarily make one a destitute.

What other better way to identify a destitute than someone who was in a rehabilitation camp for months, and not even a single soul sought to look out for him/her from his/her immediate surrounding(lagos), It also smirks of gross irresponsibility for the ANSG to receive a notice of destitutes from its state and stay indifferent for 3 months

Action begets reaction, if a family refuse to collect a corpse in a mortuary belonging to it after due notification and a reasonable length of time, Should the mortuary officials decide to bury the corpse in an unmarked grave, they will be justified.

PointB: If Akwa Ibom or Anambra repatriate destitute/beggar it is wrong and unconstitutional; and in the same way, it is criminal, evil and wickedness to dump them in the middle of nowhere in the dead of the night!

Dont you think those destitute and beggars are better of with their family's for social re integration ?

I see you quote a post and acknowleging that is how things are done in civilised world.

Are you sure your criticisms are of true intent or .....?

PointB: Please say it LOUDER [/b]so that the ethnically bigoted elements , defending Lagos maltreatment of unfortunate citizens will learn how things are done in civilised world.

But the subject of the said letter i have attached states" Repatriation of Lunatics, [b] Beggars and Destitutes to their home state".

Akwa ibom must have been repatriating or deporting beggars and destitutes to their home states.

I so much like this man. HBD ! God bless you

But this document states otherwise, the heading claimed "repatriation", it could have well been "deportation"

89 years old, 33years as president since independence, and yet another 7 years term
Dangers of having a party too strong for the opposition.
ZANUPF is too strong that even if Mugabe becomes deaf ,dumb and cripple and comes up for election, he will win.

ocelot2006: The building of new refineries by the govt or the private sector is still not feasible because the downstream sector is still regulated, no thanks to your demand not to withdraw the fuel subsidy. So that's totally your fault..

your excuse does not in any way stop this government from building refineries, moreover there are currently 4 govt owned refineries that are refining less than 1/2 of our needs. Why should we spend foreign exchange earnings importing refined oil? . Govt should build refineries and run for some period to be later privatised when there is full deregulation, Nigerians reject deregulation because they have little trust in the govt to care about them, lets say power supply improves remarkably, and govt comes up with subsidy removal, there would be little resistance against such from nigerians

ocelot2006: This current administration isn't perfect, but unlike it's predecessors, it has been in the fore-front of exposing frauds in the govt (pension fraud, oilbsubsidy scam) and prosecuting offenders.

Any conviction so far ?, what stops him from setting up special court for corruption cases to be tried speedily? Is Maina the chief culprit in the pension fraud now charged to court? whatsup with farouk lawan?, The minister of petroleum with all allegations against her still heads the petroleum ministry

ocelot2006: Finally power. The power situation still requires a lot of improvement. But the GEJ's administration is the VERY FIRST to tackle this issue headon with lots of success. Under his watch, we've witnessed the completion and commissioning of way more power stations, transmission lines and subsstatiins, and distrribution systems across the federation. There's equally been a drastic improvements in the number of hours of liight consumer enjoys (in some states like Taraba, Gombe, Ondo, Adamawa, Edo, etc, they enjoy close to 20hrs of light)

How did you arrive at your claims? the very first? dont be deceived by media hype, there was so much of such during the Obj era, even yaradua declared state of emergency on power sector, in 3 years of GEJ, the story still stays at 2,800mw-4,000MW swing. so much promise of 7,000mw, 10,000mw,.....bla bla but lots of disappointment. When there is a remarkable improvement in power across the country, it will make headlines in the dailies, and manufacturing industries will attest to it. You mention states with roughly 20 hrs of supply, can you prove that? Dont you think a sensible govt should have sincerely and sensibly focused on industrial states like lagos,abia, ogun, anambra, kaduna, kano, e.tc?

i still saw one using tambourine, singing and begging for money, she had her little child beside her
