This man is not wise. So that form EC8A every agent and presiding officer will fill and sign can you not immediately upload it? What has electronic voting got to do with this?

What una want is the one they will take to the so called collation center, tear it and fill another one with fictitious figures. You think you're talking to idiots abi. No worry, very soon Nigerians go dey give una better beating for street.

You appear to be the unwise one.

If not, you'll realize they've been doing that already.

Once thing I notice about Nigerians is our never ending craze for external validation.

It has its positives and negatives. When you want us to keep forging ahead and never playing local, it is a good thing. In fact, I acknowledge it here



But in the quote above, if you listen to Mo Abudu, I am glad she has now found out that we don't need any international validation, let's build our own. Now that's where government comes in. Unfortunately, the government has not made the people proud of these contributions. For instance, Nollywood practitioners complained about government neglect. It was not until 2014 when the government of Jonathan recognized them and the Minister of Finance, NoI included this sector in our GDP. Our government does not appreciate art, so invariably, people will go outside and work for those who will recognize them and their work. Unfortunately, you cannot tell a story if you are not the owner. Those international people are continuing a post colonial legacy and they will continue to be a gatekeeper for our own stories.

The other part for me is that Nigerians are fond of show off. So international is a bragging right. That's why we are crazy about Grammys, Emmys and all manners of awards that do not belong to us!

Until the black ants have a leader, they will continue to remain confused. Write your own story and own it.

I'm trying to understand what the government's business is with the entertainment industry.

SixSeven:
If you look at his comments without sentiments, he is actually right. For a player of that calibre who is an African Player of the Year and for Nigerians who love excellence, we no de carry last.

Lookman must not rest on his oars. I wish him the best in his new level. You need Critics to remind you of not being too comfortable.

It's not about the comment, it's about the reality of the comment. If every player can choose the club they go to, do you think everyone won't go to those clubs mentioned? You don't knock on a player for something that's not within his power or do you think Lookman does not wish to go to those clubs?

We are all happy he's free from that useless Atalanta in the first place after they held on to him without using him for months, and now one person just came and thinks he knows better than all parties involved. As an ex football player, he should know better.

You see those comments up there?

That's the reason I don't blame anyone for not visiting a place where tragedy has occurred. It makes no difference to pessimists. They will always find a way to use whatever you do or don't do against you.

So I'll personally prefer channeling that time and resources into looking for concrete ways to end the attacks for good.

What sort of stupid topics are making Frontpage these days? Are there no better threads on Nairaland anymore? You guys keep pushing nonsense on Frontpage as if this is a kindergarten forum. Una no even rate your users anymore.

This is the exact proof that just because you exceled in one part of an event does not mean you merit participation in other parts.

Being a past footballer does not mean you are sensible enough to be a football commentator.

Which kine rubbish be this again?

godliman:
Who is looking up to Russia? Is Russia advanced? They only develop weapons like north Korea and Iran at the expense of their citizens wellbeing They are economically backwards. Russia important printing paper.

Lol... This one said Russia is economically backward. If they really were, do you think they will still have an economy with all the foreign sanctions and seizures?

Una go just dey talk nonsense on this forum.

It's everybody that is dropping bombshell on your own threads. Did you just discover that word?

How is age 5 a teenager?

ThirTEEN
FourTEEN
FifTEEN
SixTEEN
SevenTEEN
EighTEEN
NineTEEN

Those are TEENage years.

Emeskhalifa:
You did not blame your colleague in same WhatsApp group as you that suggested starlink but na my head you find your voice.

Lol... Not surprised. You can't give what you don't have.

Emeskhalifa:
Aren't they budgeting billions for these elections? If not coz of corruption, what's starlink devices that you think they won't be able to afford?

Like I said, na dem no d ulterior motive wey dem get, wey make dem reject am

Lol... Starlink.

Any cyber security expert will tell you this can never happen. A lot of you are so loud and ignorant at the same time.

Taxation has always been in the curriculum.

AndroBlaze:
He is just using style to yab Arteta... as a lover of the game, I can't blame him sha.

Football is a game of strategy... Arsenal has been playing beautiful football for decades, what do they have to show for it. As long as results are gotten, no style of football is boring because in the future, statistics does not care about how beautifully you played if you have nothing to show for it.

Besides, Liverpool games have not been entertaining so what's the point?

As much as I'm not a fan of Mikel Obi... Dude has a podcast. What do they do on podcasts? What's everyone's problem with him talking? That's what he's supposed to do as a podcaster?

Y'all are just dull and full of envy for someone who doesn't even know if you exist or not.

Diamond098454:
The way you guys talk about your private life in public forum is alarming

He's obviously a jobless attention seeker.

AndroBlaze:
Uncle everything is not tribalism, do they do Afircan music or not? Do they identify with us?

I have known Tyler the Creator for ages and never knew he was a Nigerian... is it someone that struggles to identify with being black that will now identify with Nigeria?

Some of you sef.

Lol... Make una dey claim nonsense. Asides Fela, none of those other people claims Nigeria. They don't even have a Nigerian passport. Low self-esteem will just be making you claim people who don't give a rat's ass about you.

Acidosis:
Meanwhile, the last time anyone died from a snake bite in the UK was 1975. The report online is that Nanyah was rejected by two hospitals. And nope, she wasn't rushed there. She drove herself to the hospital.


Poor leadership is costly.

This is a very stupid comparison. How many species of deadly snakes does the UK have compared to West Africa? How common is it to find snakes inside homes in the UK that are not pets?

Y'all always so quick to make comparisons when it's absolutely unnecessary.

Back to the topic... Hospitals rejecting patients without first administering first aid to stabilize the patient should become a crime in Nigeria. It makes absolutely no sense. Your oath is to save lives, not select easy patients and cases to deal with.

zinaunreal:
Just look at who dey quote 😆 dont even know the difference between venomous and non venomous snake 😆. Argue with your father

At least I have a father to argue with.

zinaunreal:
Huge? What manner of exergeration

Una just like stupid argument for this forum.

Only a blind person or an absolute idiot will say that's not huge for a venomous snake, or for any snake at all.

datola:
Hmmm..... Was she supposed to be remanded in prison when preliminaries have not found her guilty. What about if she won the case case. What would be her compensation for the prison experience

This Cyber bulling law supposed not be a criminal law but civil because it looks like an easy tool in the hand of the highly placed to oppress the downtrodden.

Please, look beyond this Angela case...

If you don't know how processes work, keep quiet.

Onlinetutor7:
If the #500k couldn't amount to anything for him then he squandered it.

What he says about returning the money does not justify that he didn't squander the money.

Ok

JomoGbomo2:
I just moved to Lagos when this incident occurred, coincidentally I was living in Jakande Estate Oke Afa, it was a terrible experience, receiving the survivors that crossed that Canal that night and hearing their stories still hunts me till today especially when I pass through that burial ground.
How can a full military cantonment not have functional fire service. No one paid for the negligence till today; a mere Just Sorry was enough

Fire service... What would they have done?

maasoap:
Your argument is what they called lack of foresight. Before you start a fight, you should be able to predict how and where it can go. It is only then you will able to decide if you really want to go ahead. I hope you are learning new things here.
You will start to talk about it when you are already in the middle of it? Nice one

Lol... See as you carry person matter for head dey look for foresight.

Foresight or not, how does it affect me? Why will I waste my precious time and effort trying to seek foresight on an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with me? I'm a social commentator on the issue, I've made my comment, end of story. Those that are involved in it should deal with those other issues themselves and if they end up bringing it to social media again, I'll comment on exactly what they bring and nothing more.

maasoap:
It is not, he should know what he's getting himself into. You can start madness against someone but you can't prevent that someone from taking it above your capacity. He wants to go court, and court may decide to use the exchange rate then and now

Jeez... Why do people find it difficult sticking to issues at hand? Reason it's very easy to distract Nigerians. I've stated what I'm concerned about, why trying to drag me into things that don't concern the discussion at the moment?

When that issue comes up, we'll talk about it. Till then, it's not my business.

God1000:
I bet if you check Trump's page, he will call this a "HUGE" success

Kudos to South Africans, imagine if it was Nigeria, a lot of people would have formed long queues to buy the ticket, the online noise and praises alone will choke you

Lol... What has this got to do with South Africans?

A company made a decision and it's "kudos to South Africans". Lol

Stephen0mozzy:
Read the difference between my statement and your response. You made a statement that countered the claim on the post where it was said that the guy said in a 2023 interview that he squandered the money.

I asked you a question, then you are throwing tantrums.
I'm not your dude.

Have a good day.

Dude, do you know the meaning of someone throwing tantrums?

Resorting to sly insults in logical matters is a sign of low intelligence.

If he's willing to return the money, then it wasn't squandered regardless of where he's getting the money he wants to return from.

maasoap:
Well, he needs someone to let him understand that the value of 500k naira he took in 2022 under Buhari is now around 1.5m to 2m naira under Tinubu

That's a different issue entirely.

Exousiang01:
Someone by himself said he had already squandered the money as far back as 2023 and you are here on 2026 saying he didn't.
Do you know more than him who collected and blew the money?
Or you are expecting N500k given to him in 2022 to still be in his account in 2026....
Some of una sef ehh

Lol... But he's willing to return it now. Whether he got the money he wants to return from another place really doesn't matter. He's willing to return what he was given which to me means he didn't squander it since he still has it available. Y'all make very simple things so unnecessarily complicated.

Stephen0mozzy:
So you don't think there's anything wrong with his approach towards a benefactor? Can he return the corresponding value of what 500k was worth in 2022, to what it is in 2026?

I the guys words "500k was never any good to him" - yes, he squandered it - 500k would have added value to anyone's work/business/skills in 2022 - when the Naira still had some worth.

Dude, why are you creating an argument where there's none? I don't care how he acts towards anybody or any other thing.

You claimed he squandered the money and I'm making you understand he didn't squander it if he's willing to return it. Any other thing outside my initial post isn't my concern.

Lol... Very stupid take.

Worst case, make a rule that only a particular color of towel is allowed to prevent it 'interfering' with the goal line. Anything to justify the nonsense Morocco ball boys and players did.

How does this even make any sense to them. As a keeper I need to go behind the advertising board everytime I want to clean my wet gloves. That's just stupid.

Stephen0mozzy:
Some people should actually, made to pay back every penny they receive in kindness when they turn back to bite the hand that feed them.

If I'm Cubana I'll send account make the eeedhiot pay back. And do give away directly to another person wey actually get glory and can benefit from 500k assistance.


If you can squander 500k that you didn't work for, then you never really had any glory.

If he's willing to return it, then he obviously didn't squander it.
