I should probably have clarified I primarily meant running sports.

1. I agree government should invest in basic infrastructural development that will serve as the pedestal for discovering local talents.

2. Competitions do not necessarily have to be government initiated. I remember Milo used to solely run basketball ball events for secondary school across Nigeria. Private organisations can handle this quite frankly. I am not averse to government organising this, they just haven't shown to be good managers of programs like this.

3. 100% of our athletes currently in the US are in scholarship with no input from government. Trust me if this was a government program nepotism and quota system will destroy it. There was a scholarship program (not sports related) that the Jonathan administration was running for first class students and it was based on merit cause they had to write exams. Immediately Buhari was elected he stopped it because a section of the country wasn't properly represented as winner. We just need to develop good enough athletes, American schools are on the hunt for talents they will better their programs. BTW, Jamaica too now outsource their talents to the US now.

4. Being a past athletes doesn't necessarily translate into being a good administrator or coach. One thing with getting private sector run programmes is that they very rarely allow sentiments thrive because investors want returns on their investments.

Marjoribanks:
He must have stayed in UK at one point in his live. US peeps don't reason like him!

Joebie:
The issue is I said come next 4 years and we will be having same discussion. Oga think say na elections I dey talk o, and I was talking about our performance in every Olympics. Very laughably I came from my rat hole to spew trash and all the UK labeling on top this matter. Very objective indeed

Marjoribanks:
lol! Do you know the number of our Athletes on scholarship in the United States? Maybe before but in the last 5 years we have sent close to 1000 athletse to various Universities in the United states. You guys are too dis-informed on this platform. Ajayi just left this January.

Many could not meet the Olympic standard but they would by 2028.
Just be patient! 2028 will shock you!

Joebie:
Why does it even matter where I am. Can’t we engage ourselves without the labelling. Can’t we be objective for once? Once u think someone is not on your “side” you want to go against every thing they say. That’s childish.

No one is absolving government of responsibility, if you read my post carefully I said as much. The crux of mt my argument is even with good administrators and policy backup there's little we can achieve because Nigeria sadly isn't rich enough to fund sports. It is why my advocacy is for government to completely handsoff sports in Nigeria.

So my argument isn't for more government policies but just one policy, which is government divesting from sports.

Also, the private sector in Nigeria is well equipped to fund sporting events in Nigeria. The only reason they won't right now is because there's little or no return on investments when they partner with any sporting brand. Government divesting totally from telecommunications and entertainment is what led to the boost we've seen in both industries. BB naija which is just a program here more sponsorship yearly than Nigeria's biggest sporting brand the Super Eagles and all their money comes from the private sector.

Marjoribanks:
Exactly! People like YOU! Anything to hate on the country!
If you don't like the country dey your dey and stop the negativity all the time.

Or you can join the far-right in your UK to help them get their country back! lol! Rest abeg!

Multiple reports have it that Victor Osimhen may have to remain at Napoli because:

- He and his agent reportedly don't want a loan deal of any type.

- He and his agent reportedly won't accept any wage cut.

Trimjos:
Stop dececiving yourself, same tinubu that has passed supplementary budget numerous times and has also passed bills by faster by hobnobbing the national assembly... APC supporters like you think like brain dead things, gosh!!

Kobojunkieee:
I see you are merely trying to argue foolishly, so I will leave you to it! 🤔

Afonjatijati:
Your strong jagaban has been reduced to a window peeper by dwarvish El Rufai afraid to come out and face protesters.


Everything Tinubu has tried to be, GEJ has been.

Secure Nothern votes? GEJ taught Tinubu.
Presidency? GEJ taught Tinubu.
Remove fuel subsidy? GEJ taught Tinubu.

Now, tell Tinubu to go beg GEJ to teach him how to end a protest against his government.

Kobojunkieee:
Clearly, you need Google here since you obviously do not understand how your own government works..

Kobojunkieee:
Again, Please use Google to find out and learn what a Bill is and how it becomes Law before you continue so you can be better informed about how your Government works this protest period. I promise you that the knowledge will come in handy in the next couple of days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NiRfreak:
Some fooools will come here and argue
The day u all wake up and chase that illegitimate useless crook away from AsoRock is the beginning of ur relief. Otherwise, this 4 abi 8 years go long, shebi na juat 1+ yrs one bend everybody like crayfish so?

For allowing that heartless emptyheaded man to steal the mandate of 200million people without a single fight back is like abetting and supporting his wickedness, and that's the boldness he has to pile suffering on Nigerians cos he believes he can always get away since u all fear him and worship him.
.
If u don't boot that man out, u guys are just playing AJE....
The protest will become real when u change it to Tinubu must go. Cos there's no where a crimminal that hijackk the presidenncy, senate, Judiciary,, CBN and NNPC will ever end bad governance. ........The journey is still far. When u all can muster courage and unity of purpose to boot him out without ur stupidd tribalism, then hope dey,,, otherwise, this cursed man at the helm of affair will be worse than Pharaoh on Israelites
.
Tinubu must go is the real protest......if u think I'm kidding....u all will learn the hard way. But for now, this is a good start......BUT be ready for a long tortuous journey to freedom.
.
If you like convince urself that it's impossible, then be ready to carry the heavy cross of suffering and hunger for 8 years....the choice is yours to make

Kobojunkieee:
What was passed by the National assembly? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Please Google what a Bill is and how it becomes Law before you continue so you can be better informed about how your Government works this protest period. I promise you that the knowledge will come in handy in the next couple of days

BeardedMeat:
On the inauguration ground. He fell into the trap set for him yakata without any qualms. Master strategist my foot.
Now where's he getting money to pay for subsidy because petrol landing cost is 1200?

Zionmdde:
Just sharrap
Buhari was trying to be very discreet about it but what exactly did tinubu do. Making an official statement that the country will never recover from. You must not really be brainless to support APC

Kobojunkieee:
Stop lying! Tinubu could have easily reversed that policy. Rather he lied to the Nigerian people that subsidy had been removed during his administration while he continued in the background to siphon subsidy funds elsewhere. For over a year, Nigerians were told subsidy was gone, only to now learn that in fact it never did go away and they have been paying double the original amount for higher prices at the pump.

Nonexisting1:
Removing subsidy is not even the problem but removing it while standing like a drunkard on a podium to declare "subsidy is gone". No consultation, no media interaction, not even to sit in the seat of power for 24hrs to have a feel of what the seat is all about. This is why he has agberos everywhere because he too behaves like one. Why an acclaimed educated man failed to first understand the duties of a president by at least going into his new office before delving into such a sensitive issue like fuel subsidy still drives me insane. It's like when a new bank manager starts changing existing policies without stepping foot into his new office. Tinubu is simply a mad man.

JohnBullMySon:
Lagos is too dirty, disorganized and out of shape to host such an event. Same goes for the rest of Nigerian 'cities' with the exception of Abuja.

Casablanca is a big stretch but I put it there due to the commitment of the moroccoan government to capital investment in order to grow tourism in its cities.

Tbh only Cape Town and maybe Jbourg look like olympic candidates.

God help Africa. We're way behind.

Ppogbae:
...

JohnBullMySon:
Yes, Casablanca and Cape Town for example, technically might be able to host it but think about the cash perspective. Can these cities/countries or their government raise 10 billion for example?

Ppogbae:
The only countries with capability to do so are Morrocco and South Africa. Maybe Egypt. Kenya (only Nairobi) if we're pushing it.

Minister of Interior, Bunmi Ojo, Embroiled in New Passport Fast-Tracking Controversy in London

In a development that has raised several eyebrows, Nigeria's Minister of Interior, Bunmi Ojo, is once again in the spotlight following allegations of unethical practices concerning passport procurement. Reports have surfaced suggesting that Ojo has been involved in a scheme in London, wherein expedited passport processing is offered at the hefty price of $300.

Why many are not pleased with him is because the passport acquisition is becoming difficult these days which takes months unlike what he promised after he assumed office. When he came on bored as a minister, he outlawed the previous process and made the Nigeria House clear the backlog of passports that many hailed.

Unfortunately, with the new introduction of the fast track payment, the process has gone back to being cumbersome which makes many feel it’s a deliberate act to force people to pay the three hundred dollars.
This is not the first time Minister Ojo has faced scrutiny. His tenure has been marred by previous scandals that critically questioned his adherence to ethical standards. The latest allegations have reignited concerns about corruption within vital government services, prompting a wave of reactions both domestically and internationally.

According to sources close to the matter, individuals needing urgent passport services in London have been coerced into paying the fee, which significantly surpasses the official rates. This practice not only undermines the integrity of public service but also exacerbates the financial strain on citizens who may already be in distressing situations.

Several advocacy groups have voiced their discontent with the ongoing situation. Transparency Nigeria issued a statement demanding a thorough investigation into the claims. "Such allegations, if proven, speak volumes about the decay in our public institutions," the statement read. "It is imperative for the government to act swiftly and decisively to restore faith in our systems."

On social media, the public's reactions have been swift and unforgiving. Hashtags such as #OjoScandal and #CorruptionWatch have been trending, with citizens expressing their frustration over the recurrent theme of corruption in key governmental positions. "This isn't just about one man; it's about the systemic issues that allow such practices to thrive," commented one user.

Ojo's office has yet to release an official response. However, insiders suggest that an internal review is imminent. The Nigerian government, already grappling with multiple fronts of public unrest, cannot afford to turn a blind eye to such grave allegations.

International ramifications might also ensue. If substantiated, this scandal could strain diplomatic relations, particularly within the context of immigrant communities relying on streamlined consular services.

This unfolding story serves as a poignant reminder of the critical need for transparency and accountability in public service. It also underscores the importance of citizens' vigilance in holding their leaders to the highest ethical standards. As the my investigation progresses, all eyes remain fixed on the authorities to see how they navigate and resolve this contentious issue.
