Doflamingo:
This is too much bro

chessguru:
Another ignorant thing with you guys is you think Loving Ronaldo means hating Messi , i see both of them as a Legend and great players , the success of one does not reduce the achievement of the other , most Messi and ronaldo fans are living in a fools paradise always creating stupid controversies , Know that Messi and Ronaldo and both great football Legends and know peace , NOTE- this topic is about Ronaldo not Messi . I love Messi and that does not take anything from Ronaldo .

Oga What wrong have I done na, shey na lie I been lie say e never touch world cup?
Abi is it my fault that Messi's son has touched more World Cup trophy than the entire Portuguese footballers in the history of the game, both dead and alive?

Exceed15:
CR7 remains my GOAT.

I love how you Penaldians now personalise it now

jhydebaba:
The real GOAT

Okay

Exceed15:
CR7 remains my GOAT.

That's in your own opinion.
Keep consoling yourselves Penaldians, Messi don deal with some people goat so tey no European club want am again

Gbogbowa:
He has won everything except the world cup and that is cool,Pele did not win champion league he is a goat,ronando remain a goat and will retire has the highest goal scorer in the history of the world which we be difficult to break,

Messi is just 11 goals away from his UCL goal record (the only individual record he has been holding dear in the UCL)

LeoDeKing:
Which of the Nassarawa states?

Is Lafia still the capital of Nassarawa state where pandora Obituary flagged off his comedy?

Stop deceiving yourself with crowds.
I'm from Nasarawa State and we are Obidients. I personally did not attend OBI's Nasarawa rally, likewise hundreds of thousands of Nasarawa people. But it doesn't mean our PVCs won't be used next year for Obi!!
I no get strength to Argue with you, but my advice is that you shouldn't allow crowds at Political gatherings to deceive you into thinking the crowds equal to acceptability or otherwise of a candidate.

Gr8amechi:
When results start coming out, don't cry rigging.

There are people who don't have just one vote.
I wish we youths had channelled this erngery and anger properly.

Oyetola had a structure, same was Adeleke, have you forgotten Adeleke is a house hold name in Osun state?

My question is simple, Adeleke lost with just less than 1000 votes 4 years ago, now questions is how come he won now?

If structure was useless why did he team up with Aregbe?

Another thing, what votes did LP get in Osun state??

Structure is what have Oyetola those numbers, also presidential election is different from state.

Even Tinubu's presence in Osun couldn't save his cousin from defeat.
Same thing happened in Edo, which birthed the "Edo nor be Lagos" slogan..
Power now lies with the people.
February no far again..
I rest my case!!!

jaxxy:
We all know how pep desperately wanted to sign him b4 he decided on Manu. The Goat isn't just any 38 year old.

He will remain the Goat for a very long time.

The fraud pessi who is currently being babysat by mbappe and neymar in a farmers league cannot be a goat.

Cry more
He won Copa America against same Neymar in 2021
He won the World Cup against same Mbappe in 2022.
More tears please.

chessguru:
so many ignorant people passing judgment on what they know nothing about , they think they are on football manager . RONALDO has seen it all .... he is made for life

He hasn't seen nor touched these though

naijapikin2:
This is a player that has conquered england, spain, italy, portugal, back to england and now saudi.

Let's face it no player has traversed like this and still made that level of relevance.

Not like one argentine dwarf that scored 9 goals in his first season in France an was still awarded the balon d'or.

RIP to pele the greatest that ever lived, next to him is cr7.

Not like that argentine pawpaw running around the pitch like a cockroach and receiving I'll gotten awards.

PS: mention with caution, or hold your peace.

I hope you didn't soak your shirt with premium tears while typing all these though

LesbianBoy:
He had done it all

Nothing to compete for again

He couldn't do this though

Gr8amechi:
Your first question answers why you need a structure.

After the election did Adeleke not thank Aregbe?

Without breaking the rank of APC structure do you think he would have won?

Take time and read my analysis, BVAS or not if people don't come out to vote what will BVAS count? If people get chased out of the voting ground what will BVAS count?
These are the things structure helps to prevent.

Like I said, elections are deeper than you see them.

I disagree with you, the structure you meant was the same that OYETOLA had, he was the incumbent before the election and had all the state apparatus under his control, he had thousands of "APPOINTEES" just like Wike that you cited, he also had Tinubu and several other APC Governors with him, as well as the Federal support as a member of the ruling party, still the PEOPLE chased him out and voted their preferred candidate, even though he shared millions of Naira.. The structure OYETOLA had is actually what is presently in contention, that is, the structure of "incumbency", which you feel the G5 Governors have.
The "Enough is enough" force that pushed millions of "First time voters" in Nigeria consisting majorly of Young people to register for their PVCs, will push them to the polls on election day to vote in their preferred choice.
You think all the youths and first time voters after struggling to register for PVCs will on election day wait for the "Last Order" from their respective Governors before they know who to vote?
Funny indeed!!
Someone like me and hundreds of people in my area already know who we are voting for, likewise millions of Nigerians. In fact, the reason why millions of youths have decided to register for PVCs and vote this time around was birthed becauseof their choice and love for a candidate already, so no stupid Governor can come out tomorrow to endorse a different candidate and insist that we vote such candidate..
Na secret balloting we dey do, and we dont even queue according to Political parties, I fit even wear Tinubu or Atiku T-shirt stand for queue (to show fake support or love for my Governors' choice) but still vote Obi when I collect my ballot paper.
No reason am, Nigerians are now more politically enlightened than it used to be in the past, and i still insist that the BVAS will curtail the excesses of rigging next year!!!!

Omoh, last month I got an alert of 21k from an unknown person, the name of the person didn't show, neither did any detail of such person appear in the credit message I got.
The money is still in my account as I type now, haven't touched it yet and also haven't received any call from anyone regarding same, there is also no way I can possibly trace the sender too.
I still find it strange though because my account details are not known like that as I'm usually very contented with what I have and don't beg or send Aza to anyone.

Gr8amechi:
Whom ever the governors decide to work for will have enormous advantage, governors hold the structure from state to ward, the have aides everywhere.
Lets take Wike for example he recently appointed 200,000 new aides adding to the existing once, so lets say each of these aides influence their immediate family( wife, brother or sister) at least 3 persons from each aides to do Wike's biding that is 600,000 votes already.

Only a fool thinks everyone has one vote. this is a big fallacy.
There are some people who can command 100 votes, others 500 and there are some that can control over 10,000 votes.

Another thing you need the governors is to ensure your opposition doesn't rig election in their state.

I think we need to get to understand election dynamics very clearly, election can be compromised before, during or after voting.
Imagine your opponents supposed strong hold, elections fail to hold or there is massive voter apathy what happens?
These are the things you need structure for.

Politics and elections are deeper than we think it, politics isn't for emotional people but rational people.
"sometimes you may need to enter into a deal with the devil to buy you enough time to unseat that devil".

Why did OYETOLA lose Osun state despite being the incumbent, with the so called "structure".
Oga forget it.
At this point, many Nigerians have already made their choices, no yeye Governor can influence people to vote against their wish when it is clear that the Governor is fighting for his own relevance.
I was an Adhoc INEC staff in the Area Council elections that held in Abuja earlier this year, and I can tell you that the BVAS has really undermined the powers of Governors and political touts from manipulating the process, no more Collation Officers moving around and transmitting thumb printed ballots to INEC offices (where they usually manipulate them on the way), this BVAS now gives exclusive powers to the PROs in each polling unit to send results upon completion of voting directly to INEC portal electronically, and where such results do not tally with the recorded "Registered voters" in such polling unit, the machine won't respond.
The earlier you realise that POWER NOW BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE WITH PVCs, RATHER THAN THE PEOPLE IN POWER, the better for you.
This is no dictatorship, and Wike cannot for example, be in all the polling units in Rivers states, his so called boys spread all across CANNOT force the voters to vote against their wish, of course they can share money (vote buying is their only resort now but CBN cash withdrawal policy will greatly affect that too) and intimidate voters, but las las it is secret balloting!!!
Many voters collected money from APC in Osun election but still voted for Adeleke.
February no far again, the people will send a very loud message!.

It amazes me how people just seat in their houses and conclude that Wike or any of the so called G5 Governors can influence the decision of the people in their states.
Whoever the Governors endorse is their personal business as each of them has only ONE vote.
You can't tell me that because Wike has endorsed Tinubu, then I must vote for Tinubu because I'm from Rivers State, or because Ortom is part of the G5 then I must vote Tinubu because I am from Benue state.
It's secret balloting peeps!
The BVAS has on its own curtailed the usual ballot snatching and manipulations that state Governors were formally known for...
Next year will be a different ball game altogether!!

Igboslayer:
Oh ok, I see the efforts you are making to deny the Hausa influence and dominance that has taken over many of the minority tribes in the North.

It doesn’t mean those tribes do not exist, but by default, that common language can really cause identity crisis.

It’s ok you promote your tribe, but the main reason why you and others, even your Yoruba friends choose to speak Hausa instead of Eggon is what you fail to explain.

Beyond literate people not understanding English but Hausa and this as Language of choice for illiterate of other tribes to learn and use as means of communication.

Why do you communicate in English with me?
Were you born an English man?
Does it mean English has dominated your tribe?
FYI, every Northern state is independent of the others, the Emir of Kano or the Sultan of Sokoto has no power over people in other Northern states.
I and my siblings grew up in Lagos, Eti Osa LGA precisely, my elder sister understands and speaks fluent Yoruba till this day, does that make her a Yoruba lady or does it mean Yoruba has dominated her?
Non-indigenes that reside in Nasarawa state wont be saying all these things you're saying now because they see more of the Eggon culture, Eggon people and events, likewise other tribes in the state.
There are around 12 native speaking tribes in Nasarawa state, no single one is Hausa and none of such tribes has any relationship with Hausa.
We are even more closer to the East than to other core Northern states because immediately after Nasarawa state is Benue state and after Benue State, the next state is Enugu state. The reason why we fall under the "Northern" region is due to the geographical design of Nigeria. Otherwise, I see no reason why states like Nasarawa, Kogi, Benue, Plateau etc should be tagged North, I believe that's why we have our unique tag which is: "The Middle Belt".
If you insist that Hausa has dominated the Northern states, don't forget that even Benue and Kogi states are Northern states, a Tiv man and an Idoma man from Benue state, likewise an Igala man and an Ebirra man from Kogi state will disagree vehemently with you just like I'm doing now, if you try to associate them with the Hausas.
Attached are pictures of the Eggon and the Hausa culture, kindly tell me the influence that the Hausa culture has over us...

Igboslayer:
Youve won sir. Just ponder on why you and your siblings must speak Hausa to survive.

First thing, I reside in the heart of Abuja and not in Nasarawa state, I and my family members communicate in my tribe and English whenever we are together, NOT in HAUSA!
I only speak Hausa when I happen to meet any Hausa person here in Abuja that barely understands English, or when I visit Nasarawa state and must communicate with someone who is illiterate in English language.
Hausa is NOT an indigenous tribe in Nasarawa state, and we have no historical connection with the tribe (feel free to do your research). It's ONLY an alternative mode of communication among residents where English language becomes difficult for either party.
I have alot of Yoruba and Southern friends that reside in Nasarawa state and speak and understand fluent Hausa language, so from your logic, they are Hausas too and have historical connection with the Hausas, right?

Igboslayer:
Ok sir… You won. But there is good reason you all speak Hausa as a lingual Franca…

If you are identified as Hausa by the language you speak by those that didn’t know you were Eggon would they be wrong?…even though you started the Identity confusion by projecting Hausa ahead of you own language. Anyway you won

This definitely isn't an argument sir!
I speak fluent English, even better than both my tribe and Hausa language, perhaps people should call me a British guy or an English guy too, right?

I think the best address should be: "Northerner" which rightly indicates my region, instead of "Hausa" which doesn't specifically relate to me.
#Peace

Igboslayer:
Don't you think there is a very strong reason why you and your sibblings speaks Hausa?

Should I tell you? You may not like it though!

Same reason why we speak ENGLISH language in Nigeria, that simple reason is: COMMUNICATION.
My tribe has no link nor connection with the Hausas.
I'm an EGGON boy from Nasarawa State. If you don't mind, kindly go to Google and type "Eggon tribe", you'll get to know more about us, also check the images Google will provide about us, you will notice a completelydifferent culture from that of the Hausa/Fulani you know of.
We are far from the Hausa culture, likewise other non-Hausa tribes in Nasarawa, Kaduna, Gombe, Borno, Taraba, Niger, Plateau, Yobe, in fact, you will see many non-Hausa/Fulani tribes in all the Northern states! Like I stated before, these non-Hausa/Fulani tribes majorly make up the Northern Christians, only the Core Hausas/Fulani are predominantly Muslims, that's why you tend to hear of religious crisis in the North, especially in Plateau and Kaduna.
Northern Nigeria can actually make up a country of its own because of the diverse ethnic groups, cultures and traditions that are practiced.
Many Southerners don't know about this except the Southerners that reside in the North.

Igboslayer:
I understand your drift...now a simple question.

Do you speak Hausa?

Yes I speak and understand Hausa language, but not as much as I understand my own tribe.
Hausa is the second most spoken language in the North.
That's the only way one could efficiently communicate with other tribes in the North, especially those persons that are illiterate in English language.
We all speak and understand English language in Nigeria, but that doesn't make us British or English people.
Same way me speaking and understanding Hausa does not make me Hausa

Igboslayer:
Well you still don't understand the context in which Hausa Amaka was used to spite the Igbos and not to vividly depict her ethnicity or religion, since no one knows for now.

I will be more correct to say Hausa Amaka than Yoruba Amaka, right?

HAUSA is a tribe, not a region, you probably could have said Northern Nigeria Amaka..
Perhaps your intention is not what I think, but any other Southerner can quickly conclude that she's Hausa.
The reason why I'm actually saying all this is because of the way we Northerners are mostly seen by Southerners (both Hausa and Yoruba).
When I went to Law school in Enugu state some years back, it took me days before I could be able to convince my Southern colleagues that even though I'm from Nasarawa State, I'm not Hausa and there is no single indigenous Hausa person in Nasarawa, though Nasarawa is a Northern state.
Till I left Law school, they kept calling me Hausa and to me that was really insulting because I have my own tribe that I'm very proud of.

Igboslayer:
Ok sir, thanks for been the good lecturer that you are, if you didn't understand the context in which Hausa Amaka was used to depict her region and not ethnicity then I can't help you....may be I should have used ATYAP AMAKA instead, but this may be likely wrong also...then you don't gerrit...nobody claim she's Muslim also, except you though...so by the way, what tribe is she...since you know, I went through your write-up but you failed to tell us her tribe, it appears you also don't know.

How do you think an Esan man from Edo state will feel if you call him "Igbo"?
I guess an Ikwerre man from Rivers State wouldn't feel good if he is referred to as "Igbo" because he is from the South.
The meaning of "Igbo Amaka" means Igbo is Beautiful.
Saying "Hausa Amaka" on a matter that isn't connected to a Hausa lady is not fair.
All of us in the North tend to be called HAUSAS by many Southerners and that's really bad. We have our own tribes that we are proud of, calling us Hausas to us is annoying and insulting at the same time.
The same way there are many other tribes in the South asides Igbo and Yoruba is the same way there are many other tribes in the North asides Hausa and Fulani.

Igboslayer:
Ok sir, so what tribe is she...since you know, I went through your write-up but didn't get any.

Like I stated before, there are more than 100 tribes in the North, majority of those indigenous tribes make up Northern Christians.
I can't specifically say her actual tribe from the diverse tribes in Southern Kaduna, but her not being Hausa or Muslim is 100% correct.
I'm speaking as a Northerner who is also not Hausa nor Muslim, we know ourselves.
Consult Google on the indigenous tribes in Southern Kaduna alone and you will see many of them.

Igboslayer:
Hausa Amaka!
Developer, glory harvester, land of the deeming sun, they have been developing other people's city but refused to develop their own villages. They will tell you that they develop her because they came to live in their midst.

She's from Southern Kaduna and she's neither Hausa nor MUSLIM.
Not every northerner is Hausa or Muslim.
I'm also from the North and I'm a Christian and also not Hausa.
Make una dey try read more about Nigeria abeg, there are more than 100 other tribes in Northern Nigeria asides Hausa and Fulani, I'm tired of always correcting Southerners about the structure of Northern Nigeria!

iLoveYouToo:
Leave religion out of this, you can be adept with the Koran and still be excellent academically.

I agree that the Northern muslims should embrace western education but making a mockery of their religion is fvcked

She's from Southern Kaduna but neither Hausa nor MUSLIM.
Not everyone from the North is Hausa or a Muslim.
I'm also from the North and I'm a CHRISTIAN.

Ballzproblem2:
if only north takes education serious,they would have been breaking more records like this ,but no ,they will rather use their brain and fill it with jargons from Koran , anyways kudos to her

She no be Muslim or Hausa.
She's a Christian from Southern Kaduna.
I'm from Nasarawa State and 70% of indigenes here are Christians.
Not all Northerners are Muslims please.

ImoleNaija:
I learned from Google that Nasara (her name) means success, victory, achievement etc.

Kudos to her.

I can proudly say.....Hausa amaka!

She's not Hausa abeg..
She's a Christian from Southern Kaduna, has her own tribe...

Any guy coming here to claim he received a gift from his Nigerian girlfriend is a big LIAR!

Speak for yourself oga.
I received a wonderful gift from my babe.
You no get better babe no mean say other people sef no get..

Sweetplum:
If he quit now, people ll say he ran away from Messi? And what ll be bad if he goes to Saudi to add some more money, individual accolades, team accolades etc? No matter how lowly rated Saudi Arabian league is, they are playing football.
Some bingos here are barking at my post thinking they are defending Messi to pepper Ronaldo. Christmas Chicken bones don finish so you all ll bark in futility. Messi is a very good footballer who has cemented his place in history. But coming here to talk ill about CR7 deliberately as if he stole your gf shows you all hate hardworking people.

But same Penaldians like you mocked the hell out of Messi for joining PSG, calling PSG a farmers league, now you see nothing wrong in Penaldo joining a league in far away Middle East, bloody hypocrite!!
We don gather we troll dey wait una, goat wey don offer himself round and still got rejected na asun
PSG had to sharperly convince the realest GOAT to sign a new contract, e clear dem say senior European teams like City, Barca, Chelsea etc, just dey wait make e for slip from them PSG hands, so that they go fit grab am ASAP!
Talk of Football relevance!!!
Messi can still play till 40 in Europe!!!

MansoryMX:
It's really painful! I first saw this kind of mass burial in Benue State while doing my NYSC during 2015 elections when I was a presiding officer for INEC. The only language killer herdsmen understands is an eye for an eye. If you can kill them, kill them else they will still come back and kill more of you. They are backed by prominent fulani people in Federal government and Nigeria armed forces.

I swear.
They started that shit with our people in Nasarawa state some years back. Our youths had to go and fortify themselves with our people's ancestral juju. They went after those Fulanis, destroying them, their wives, cattles and properties.. the youths continued these consistent attacks om Fulanis in the bushes for days..
Since that year, no single of such NONSENSE happening in Benue and Kaduna ever happened in Nasarawa till now..
If they try nonsense, our people no dey take nonsense.
I most times weep for the people of Jos and Southern Kaduna, the earlier they realise that these Fulanis do not have conscience and will continue attacking and killing them unprovoked, the better for them.
We sef na Christians for my place, but atimes person gat use violence take solve violence, especially in a place like Kaduna where the Governor and his deputy are Muslims, they definitely will do absolutely nothing about the killings..
Make FG just license GUNS abeg, some BASTARDS FOOL-ANIS don't deserve to be alive I swear!!
