I do not know why players could be selfish at critical games If your team mate stood a better chance of scoring, why not pass the ball? Osimehn on his side is too disrespectful - certain things are best spoken off the pitch. Tournaments are not opportunity to show case your individual skills It is an opportunity to win laurels for your country. They should not try these selfish behavior at the bigger stage, as the tournament enters a very crucial and decisive stage. |
Winter is always a depressing period for lots of people, especially for the immigrants. Couples that are not in good terms are forced to stay indoors and before you say jack, tempers would flare up. I can't live abroad, where one is meant to remain indoors for longer period. I cherish outdoors a lot |
They will hire Ancelotti ![]() |
Jagaban of "Borgu" should do something about his emirate ![]() I heard that it was this community that named Tinubu, "Jagaban" |
Nigeria and Nigerians should know that this action that was taken by Trump would have far reaching consequences. Trump's desire has been for the OPEC and other oil producing countries to pump more oil into the market and crash the price. For long, US and western democracies have envisaged a world with cheap energy source. Cheap energy spurs growth in western countries but harm the oil producing countries, which are mainly developing countries. In the coming years, when US assumes full control of the oil industry in Venezuela, more oil would be pumped from that country into the international oil market, crashing the price, with attendant consequences for oil-based economies like Nigeria. I forsee a $30/barrel oil price in the next one or two years. Trump was unsuccessful in getting the Saudis to pump more oil to crash the bitting energy costs in the West, which indirectly affects their overall industrial output. As an oil producing country that depends on higher price values to fund its budget, Nigeria and Nigerians should be concerned. The action would definitely have far reaching consequences for third world oil producing countries. |
I like as Tinubu and Tuggar no issue any statement. ![]() He should remain on the fence. |
In Nigeria, anything can happen. I won't be surprised if Bello "wins". Most Nigerian electorates are not informed and can't make good electoral judgement. If Bello puts up an aggressive campaign, there are lots of "structures" on ground that will sell his candidacy to the electorates. |
Trump is just trying to form superman and hype the US. The man, Maduro, voluntarily gave himself up. That was the news from the vice president of Venezuela. Maduro voluntarily surrendered but Trump, in his usual way, is using the word, " captured " as if Maduro was taken after a fierce battle. There was no resistance from the Venezuelan armed forces and Maduro was sold out within his own regime. |
BondRiv:You may not be totally correct. I have two Nigerians that travelled to USA but struggled for the past 4 years, financially. Immediately they enlisted into the US army and served within stipulated time, their lives have changed. They are doing exceptionally well now. Agreed, there are some risks but if you survived within the period of your enlistment and became a veteran, you have lots of advantages. |
Ok naa! No be Nigeria we dey so ![]() Everything is not by "gra gra" or it must by our own terms. I keep saying this: let Obi go for the primaries. If he wins, fine but If he loses, no problems. If he is asked to pair with the eventual winner, there is nothing wrong with that. Their goal as a political party should be how to win elections and not about individual person's ambition. |
Fubara should calm down o! Tinubu's bet will always be on Wike. Tinubu don't like people that are dull and subservient, politically. He likes them brutish, raw and uncompromising. Wike ticks all the boxes for Tinubu. Tinubu allowed Wike to be in charge of local government for a reason and would give him even greater powers as the build up to the 2027 election gathers momentum |
I am surprised that one folk above compared Nigeria to India. In as much as India is still regarded as a third world country, they have a far higher level of productivity than Nigeria. Their infrastructure is above Nigeria and the quality of their technological advancement is far higher than Nigeria. They may be poverty-stricken, but they are making steady progress in all facet of human development. Their huge population and the terrain of certain parts of their country is hindering overall human capital development. |
Political neophytes!! You mustn't have it your way. In Nigeria's treacherous Political terrain, you have to crawl for people to make way for you at the top. The same happens in corporate world. You have to tow the path for those at the top to make way for you. It's not by "gragra". This was the same way Obi was hyped in 2023, despite standing a good chance to win the presidency with Atiku. His supporters, including Utomi, felt that Obi was invisible. I will continue to say it: Obi's chances to the presidency would have been through Atiku in 2023. His supporters have started again with their "do or die" attitude that it must be Obi or nothing. Obi should not allow some of his supporters to harm his chances of claiming Political power. As they say, power is negotiated and not a birth right. You have to negotiate and wrestle for it. Nobody hand it over to you without a contest. I don't know how Obi and his team are building the necessary contacts to win the primaries, which is the first huddle. If he loses, he should consider teaming up with the winner for the general elections. You don't chicken out because it didn't go your way. Moreover, he has lost considerable level of momentum he had in 2023. He is contesting the presidency against a formidable opponent, with incumbency power under his belt. The odds are already stacked against Obi. His utmost concern should be how his new party will win and not his personal interest. In Nigeria's politics, nobody is a Saint. Not even Obi. Why is Utomi behaving as if Obi has the magic to fix Nigeria? They should be more concerned about the strategy on how to win the general election. |
You see this school own, if you are a struggling guy, please adhere to this advice. Don't listen to your wife if she's not on your side to manage your expenses, except if she is going to contribute. Fraction topics in mathematics in Adeniran primary school is the same fraction in Grenville international British Model School; The Simple Interest and percentages in maths in Ilasa primary school is the same simple interest in Gentle Touch montessori international school. Don't stress yourself on school fees because you want to provide the best for your kids or you want to copy the Adeyemis or the Okoyes. Save yourself unnecessary financial pressure and focus where your reach is. But if you have the capacity, go to any school of your choice. |
There are certain robbery operations that happens in western countries that can never happen here. The sophistication that goes on in the planning and execution could be mind boggling. Despite their high security networks, robbers still beat their systems to cause damage. This kind of dare devil sophisticated robbery cannot happen here. |
Philipok:Is this tyrolean rendering your actual work or lifted from the Internet for marketing purposes? |
I feel sorry for you What are you into? As in, what you currently do Do not tell me you are any of these professions: Office assistant, dispatch rider, hustler, handwork person, low-key freelancer, office driver, uber or bolt driver, tailor, barber, private security or marketer. People in these profession always have issues with women. They can go at great length to please their girl friend why behaving like mugu ![]() |

So sad! May he rest in peace - I saw the voice note and the story on social media and felt so sad! He was already out but went in again to salvage more goods before one side of the building caved in. My people, sometimes, as a man, your life is not worth anything material. There are times you just have to let go just to have your peace and sanity. I remembered during the frequent fire occurrences at the Onitsha main market, at one incident, people were salvaging their goods and the inferno was approaching. My father just looked, sighed and asked all of us, including the "umuboi" to evacuate the place. The "umuboi" were hesitant as they wanted to salvage as much goods as possible, but my dad insisted that everybody should evacuate and not bother with the remaining goods. The raging inferno came and razed down everything, with fatality on people that were still trying to salvage their goods. I believe that with life, more things could come ones way with dint of hard work. On many occasions, i had let things go, huge losses just to move on instead of getting myself stocked on something I could not help Rest in peace, bro! I feel sorry for your wife and your family. |
The Emperor is "holding down " PDP. The same will happen at the presidential elections. There would not be any candidate from the PDP. |
Chelle wan take style bench am, try another keeper. ![]() The two may have agreed on this lamba |
Poor country! ![]() The metrics of measurement of any poor country is the quality of the people on the streets and those living on the margins in the society. |
Chei, bad news for Nigeria UK tabloid would feast on this news - Dailymail has already released it on their front page. By tomorrow, all sorts of innuendos and conjectures would hit the UK news line. AJ should have been discreet with his movement and entrust his movement on well-known security and escort companies. I feel sorry for him and Nigeria, especially, with the attendant bad publicity that it would generate |
There is so much funds in this country - see how a whole FG doled out N30bn cash as if it was nothing. More worrisome is even the comments from Makinde's aide that it was "only N30bn", meaning that the money was nothing to them or may be too small to attract attention. What did they do with the "only N30bn" given to them? I hope the FG and the president would be magnanimous enough to replicate the same gesture to any other state that experiences the same incident in the future. Finally, was the N30bn given as a form of bribery for Makinde to "hold down" PDP for the president? |
We are still waiting for the footage of this strike to assess the extent of impact. I hope Trump didn't just strike an empty place. I need to see the bodies of those terrorists scattered around the epicentre of the strike. If it were to be an Israeli strike, you would have seen the impact and video confirmation of the extent of damage. I give it to mossad |
In as much as the strike is welcomed, this is going to even deepen the conflict. The moslem north are not excited in ending the terrorism, especially, through the cooperation of the US and the fact that a southern president is the one at the helms affairs. They would rather allow the madness to keep festering than letting it go. Some bigots may even see it as an attack on their region and view it as a "Christian-moslem " war. Government should track the preachings at the mosques, starting from today. That's where the brain washing and anti government propaganda sermons starts. |
I hope that the jihadist would not look for the man and finish him off, later. That's their mode of operation, going by what mallam Elrufai said about killing a fulani herder. The man should seek for an asylum in the USA. A good human rights lawyer should locate the farmer and help apply for an asylum for him. E sure me say Canada would grant that immediately. Even trump may consider the man's asylum request and use it to embarrass the government and ramp up the pressure |
If that driver is a family man, I feel sorry for his family because the man is going to stay in prison for minimum of six months. His motor is gone for good. Loosing ones' only source of income in this current Nigeria times could be unnerving. This man has put his family into untold difficult. As a family man, always weigh your actions, as your actions could have unforeseen consequences for your immediate family. His type would come out from prison and become a harden criminal, taking his anger and vengeance on the society. |
Me, na white rice and "ofe-akwu", with goat meat and chicken andfreshly plucked "nchanwu" leaves from the backyard garden. The akwu/banga must be the original one from my village to bring out the real taste and colour of "ofe-akwu"⁹ |
Going by the above comments, comprehension is a very big problem in this country. You see reason why comprehension skills is always tested when writing aptitude tests of banks and other multinational companies. Most people that commented above would struggle to pass such tests. |
Chei, Taiwo fall hand, big time - He should not allow politicians to rubbish his professional career. ![]() I believe that the insertion of that 20% deposit on disputed assessment was done on purpose. FIRS have been looking for ways to make their decisions final and conclusive in any assessment without the opportunity of the tax payer making recourse to the court for adjudication. How can you tell me or my company to deposit 20% of assessment you did on my income, first, before I begin to challenge it? |
