Bein sport too won't show any CAF organized tournaments for now

Na Startime sure pass be dat.

OMANBALA1:
Can you elaborate the local government better than state capital ?

Which kind of elaboration do I need to give when facts are stirring you at your face?

Curtisaxel7:
A gladiator (literally defined) is a fighter who engages in competitions and duels in the hope of winning prizes. The sole aim of a gladiator is to win laurels for HIMSELF. A gladiator doesn't care about the good of the society nor does he make any sacrifices towards it. Selfish interest alone motivates him. Bola Tinubu falls clearly into this category. All his actions and political activities are geared towards his personal aggrandizement and accumulation of political clout. Tinubu is no Father Christmas. He never gives, he only invests for profit.

Chief Icon4s on the other hand, is a selfless and passionate crusader for the betterment of Nigerian football. He singlehandedly organizes and most importantly, bankrolls the entire awards programme. Nobody pays Icon4s for this. This is a faceless forum, so nobody can say he is doing it to show off. He does it because he wants to. Because he genuinely loves our football.

Can Tinubu undertake to pay the salary of government workers in his state from his pocket(Without drawing any media attention)?. Can he use his money to repair the potholes on the streets of Lagos which he reportedly "owns"?. Can he build clinics to treat poor Nigerians?. No he won't. Because he is only a gladiator. Because he has zero passion for Nigeria. Because he cares for nothing but his pocket.

Can you see the difference now?.

Is that what your University taught you about gladiator level of politics?

Abi na you know know am?


Ah! Mogbe!

Humility017:
c'mon if icons was like Tinubu do you think that election would have been fair...

why compare light and darkness...
let's wait until 2023 let's see if his gladiator level will get him the presidency....

What makes you different from Tinubu when you wan bring mago mago come here?

mostob:
I don't know sha. CONSAT is the same thing as PLAYTV. Maybe you should try if they do stream online.

Okay. Thanks. I will find out about CONSAT. I think it is Daar communication pay TV.

Humility017:
only your people glorify and ass lick tinubu that have turned Lagos state economy to his personal bank account....

never in your life make that comparison...
common sense should teach that the scenario does not follow....

you're so damn lucky Icons is not someone like me... I bet I would have watch how much you'll talk....

At least, A local government in Lagos state is better than the capital of your state.

Anyway, if there's any without using common sense, that should be you.

Says alot about one with 4.0 CGPA in political science. Don't tell me you no giraffe to pass.

mostob:
if you get CONSAT, you can watch it on GTV(Ghana tv)

Where can I get CONSAT?

Do you know the pay TV where Beins sports are in Nigeria apart from SE?

Curtisaxel7:
Of course politics was at play. Wherever and whenever elections are used to pick representatives, politics is at play.

But you still haven't shown us the similarity between Tinubu and Icon4s. You made the comparison. He who alleges must prove.

Thank you very much.

Tinubu is a gladiator in Nigerian politics. I don't need to explain this to you.

The same way Icons4 is the sole gladiator in the politics played in the that election. I don't need to explain this to you too.

Now, figure it out and tell me if there is no comparison.

Koboko99:
Brethren, brace yourself for epistles and lectures on politics and political structures in Nigerian with reference to the recently concluded nairaland elections.

It's about to go down!!!

I'll just sit in my lane and observe.

Hahahaha! No no no. But there is room for learning here.

Curtisaxel7:
Please don't derail the argument. Your initial supposition was that if we can give Chief Icon4s an automatic committee position due to his standing and reputation, Nigeria may as well automatically award Tinubu the presidency, for the same reasons. My counter argument is that Tinubu is not to Nigeria what Icon is to this awards programme.

Prove me wrong

As long as politics was at play in that award program, it is. Prove me wrong politics was not at play in that process.

Curtisaxel7:
If you must know, I am a degree student of political science. I am no novice to those terms.

Drawing a comparison between Tinubu's role in Nigeria and Icon4s' role in the Nairaland Nigerian football awards is just stupid. While the former is a leader of a political faction, the latter is a sole visioner, organizer and sponsor. There is no comparison.

And you don't know what politics is all about?

Curtisaxel7:
So Tinubu is the founding father, organizer and sole financier of the Nigerian state?.

Wow!

If only you can differentiate between a political gladiator and a state.

Humility017:
address yourself Mister....

I told you to remove the lid in your eyes prior come for the speck in my own eyes.....
you didn't hear right....

I just don't have time to school you on politics...
moreover...what are the written statutes that we uphold or build this tenets on?
please kindly let me know.....

some of us here...have expressed our displeasure as regard the elections...that we were not well informed on the non inclusion of Andrew and icon in the committee board...and you jumped that...abi
and here you come out.... trying to talk on politics...if you are to educate me on TRIBALISM I will gladly take lessons..not on politics... I study in school and made a GPA of over 4.0.

You probably bought it else nothing to show for it here.

Kbs468:
Deliberations are still ongoing for an amicable resolution of the dispute at hand though

But Government owned TV stations are expected to Link up to AUB Network as the last match vs COTED'IVOIRE U 23 was aired on GTV (Ghana TV).

Hopefully though, the Supersport on pass would be resolved by tomorrow as updated earlier by TheSuperNerd from.

Okay thanks. I appreciate.

somehow:
U23 already on but I don't know if it's on TV.

On super sports?

EdegbeLine:
No, rather I think you should be mindful of others and your behavior here because this site nor section nor thread doesn’t belongs to you nor your father. What rubbish!

In a faceless forum? You get sense at all?

You mean every comments should be taken line, hook and sinker?

You are the rubbish here. Like I said, you will be banned if you don't watch your tongue. Understood?

Can someone please tell me if Super Sports will show the U23 and AFCON qualifiers?

If not, which pay TV will show it?

EdegbeLine:
Oga die matter! Everywhere, Everyone always begging forgiveness to die a particular topic and instead of him to respect his fellow humans even if they are faceless in a faceless forum, he keeps forging forward and forming boss. This is my second or third time of posting in this thread if I am not mistaken, but I have been an ardent follower of this thread for more than 2 years and the names I keep hearing for wrong reasons are yours and that uk base white and black rabbit with quadruple mouths.

Who cares if this is your last post? Thank God you have not defiled this place with your uncultured manner's comments.

My friend, watch your tongue or you get banned for your name calling.

Koboko99:
Make we hear word abeg. Saint Obi that is forming right and just but trying to force bang average Ajagun and Kayode on us.

Please spare us the sermon on Godfatherism and democratic process. Na only online una dey show muscle, time for action now them go disappear.

Who are the us? Let me know.

somehow:
Okay Bro
It's on record where you stand
Otito sir
Osene

No wahala sir.

mostob:
what makes you think the other 40 didn't agree? I don't know why we are dragging this issue. Many of us here didn't vote for icon4s simply because we see him more like the ORGANIZER. Even Andrew sef....

Let us forget talks.

Danielnino00:
u are taking the matter too serious...

Because it's a very serious matter. Who knows if one of these peeps will be in the corridor of power tomorrow and they start bringing this kind of wayo wayo politics into play? Big clamity awaits us.

I am just addressing it now for tomorrow.

EdegbeLine:
This forgiveness go like fight sha

No. I am as gentle as dove.

somehow:
Bros Let this slide

Points have been made already

Everyone sane enough have seen our point of view including the chief himself (Icons4).

Let it slide. No one is getting paid for this.

Thank you sir.

Some people are just too ignorant. Anyways, I don talk my own finish.

It's not as if I don't want icon4 but the way these people justify illegally just makes me wonder how we can develop in this society.

Humility017:
only and you and some few folks who will barely give one kobo to fund the project never agreed.....

you didn't read it when some of us opined that we had thought icons and Andrew had automatic slot in the award board...
you didn't see it right

just to remind you.....on the bolded...good you remove the lid in your own eyes prior coming for the speck in my eyes.....

and moreover even though I take time explain to you the democratic conduct of my actions...you'll never see reason with me because you've already made conclusions in your mind.

Some of you, out of 62 valid voters? Is that not the voice of the minority?

You are ignorant about politics. What you explained can't be found in any text book all over the world except in the ideology of a typical tyrant.

Danielnino00:
If u aren't happy with icon joining the nomination committee automatically, why don't u leave the committee?/

It's a voluntary service after all..

What is the meaning of this?

safarigirl:
LOL.

22 people voted for him out of 62 votes

Tbaba raked in 16 votes out of the same 62 votes.

Tbaba is the most voted person on that list, yet icon4s garnered higher votes than the person with the highest votes.

By virtue of beating the highest votes by 6 votes, he has attained a majority votes.

Forgiveness, you're not that slick.

You seem to not understand that rules are subject to change. Nothing is ever set in stone, and even laws can be amended by the will of a majority. Also, committees can have an APPOINTED Chairman, who was never part of the ELECTION.

Anybody that has issues with icon4s being in that committee, should feel free to remove themselves from it and remove their votes too.

Where did you learn this type of politics or democratic process from? Maybe in sambisa forest.

Rules are subject to change but there are procedures needed to be followed before they are altered. Is that a lie?

Who are the majority?

How do we determine the majority?

Let me help you.

Majority in political parlance means achieving more than 50% of valid votes.

Since 62 valid votes were casted, 32 valid votes were needed to attain the majority status in political parlance of majority system of voting hence 16 can't be accepted as majority in this case.

Do you now understand?

TheGoodJoe:
Story.

This is something driven mainly by him. The voting was to choose people based on popularity of those who people feel can serve the committee.

Chief Oga Icon4s does not need votes to show he merits to be on the committee and even head it because no one believes in the course like him. No one sees the dream, vision and mission as him.

The committee needs his passion to keep it alive because it is him.

The right and best choice always wins.

The five founding fathers of America subjected themselves to democratic process despite been the political gladiators as at that time. Today, we have a prosperous and wealthy nation as a result of that.

Maybe you are ignorant about that simple fact.

Go and read small politics before you come here.

No wonder Godfatherism full this country with this your kind of mentality. I will address this comment later.

kellycute:
your bad Belle for icon4s nor be here oo lol.

Which bad belle?

Humility017:
if u read that post very well.... those who don't want are supposed to click "share"

so go back and read again....oga

Did anyone even agree to that election?

Next time you will come here shouting corruption.

TheGoodJoe:
Let us cut the long story short. The only reason this thing is seeing the light of day is because of the vision of Oga Boss Icon4s. With that, his automatic inclusion is a must and a disservice to the whole process without him.

No logic justifies his exclusion.

I stand with TheSuperNerd on this.

Finito.

That's why this country is full of illegally and thieves.


My friend, I was also in the position of Icon4 but I gave way when democratic process was involved. This is not even a moimoi thing like this. So, make we here word.

If you want to force him in, no wahala but let him get 32 votes then we can both agree.
