Major components have been stolen from the $1.5 billion Lagos–Ibadan railway project, which was commissioned in 2021 by former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The incident has raised serious concerns about infrastructure security and the long-term sustainability of major national projects.

Video in a language not understood by everyone. Post does not state what was stolen, video also does not show us what was stolen, how are they then major components?

This is probably the stupidest spiel I've seen in NL since the infamous and silly "GTB is fraudulent" video in October 2024.

Watch the hilarious moment Super Falcon's player, Michelle Alozie was learning how to speak pidgin.
According to the caption on the post, Esther Okoronkwo was her teacher.

okpouman:
The mooroccan players hands were raised unlike the NIGERIAN player

Your hand does not have to be raised to concede a penalty, it just has to be away from your body, which our player's hand was, same with the Moroccan player.

#modified
I attached a picture of the incident, you can clearly see that our girl's hand was away from her body. I think it perhaps touched a Moroccan's hands first before hitting our girl cause otherwise, I'm not sure it was a right call, even if it did favor us.

So many senseless people on NL. A content creator shared a content, a throwback of Charlie, yet you guys are here bashing Charlie as if he released the content. Some ignoramus is asking what reward Charlie is looking for to release this, are you people okay at all? If you check their SM status now, na them go do #throwbackthursday pass

GeneralDae:
How was it a penalty? Where else do you expect the hands of a player jumping to be?

Same could be said for the penalty call for our first goal, in truth, we were lucky with that call..... though I think we'd have still beat them, be it extra time or penalties

Super Falcons’ Victory Sparks Protest: Morocco Petitions CAF Over Penalty Controversy

Understandable, we'd protest if we were in their shoes too, I actually thought it was a penalty, not sure why it was rescinded. I was also surprised that the red did not explain after reviewing the VAR, I thought FIFA has made it mandatory for refs to explain after VAR review, as was done in the CWC

Apel147:
Your entire argument is flawed and fueled by selective outrage.

First of all, you claim to be “just giving your opinion” — but you showed up in my mentions unprovoked, ranting like your hot take was the gospel. If you truly believe in opinions being respected, practice what you preach.

Secondly, your “concern” about the country being broke is laughable. Since when did you become the Minister of Finance? Or do you apply this logic to all the government’s reckless spendings or just when it involves rewarding Nigerian excellence?

Let’s talk numbers, since you brought them up:

You say the Falcons were already paid. Sure — they earned it.

They got rewarded again? That’s called motivation and national appreciation.

Other countries do the same — go check how Morocco, Ivory Coast, or even South Africa treat their athletes.


You cherry-picked Ivory Coast getting $7m and being rewarded "within range" — but forgot to mention their economy, GDP, or how much they also celebrate their players. You can’t quote figures without context.

Bottom line:
You’re upset that women were recognized and rewarded for making the nation proud. Just say that and go. Don’t hide behind fake economic analysis to mask your bitterness.

Ok

aswani:
President Tinubu announced it as "The equivalent of 100k US dollars".

Not directed at you but what a thread, mediocre Obidients complaining about people who have displayed excellence being rewarded for their efforts, can you imagine?

No one is complaining about the girls being rewarded, what they're talking about is the amount being gifted to them, it is too much

Odingo1:
Igbos constitute 45% of Lagos population and that make them a majority tribe in Lagos, the remaining 55% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 40% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost win all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos.

What's your source? Hope it's not 'trust me bro'

cjfavour:
Our president spending dollars in Nigeria instead of naira just like they did during their primary elections. Does it mean these won’t affect the economy? Why order other biz enterprises not to deal in dollars in Nigeria while you and other politicians are spending d same dollars in Nigeria?

Maybe you didn't get the full gist of the story, the girls will be paid in naira, I don't know why the story has the USD equivalent

Apel147:
If they no give una go complain and say other countries value there players more, now they have been rewarded well some of una still the wail!
You can't satisfy everyone shikina!!!

You're the one wailing and mouthing off in my mentions. I gave my opinion, give yours and let that be that. If you think it's wise to gift almost 4bn to the team after they were already paid bonuses and salaries for the tournament, That's your cup of tea.
FYI, the wafcon tournament prize was $1m, everything Tinubu has given the girls is well over 3 or 4 times that amount. By comparison, Ivory coast won afcon 2023 and got $7m in prize money, and what was given to them was well within range of what the prize money could again.
The country is broke, we keep borrowing, given our 'brokeness', we should make sure that we spend wisely. Only a foolish person borrows to dash others

Billions of dollars or naira? Maybe the interviewer no hear well. Davido and him papa wealth together, I doubt it's up to a billion dollars...1 billion USD is over 1.5 trillion naira o

It's a nice gesture but the amount is too much I feel

Frezhkid10:
Will Siemens accept Naira..or is there any Nigerian company that can produce electrical components??
Will train coaches purchase be paid in naira??..
Will CCECC accept naira??

your point is understandable brother.

Frezhkid10:
We borrow for capital projects..

Why in fx tho? Our payments should be in naira...how can the govt be admonishing private bodies that request payment in fx and be borrowing to pay for capital projects in Nigeria in fx?

NYSC is not compulsory. Stop bringing religion into every sectors in Nigeria

While I agree that religion should not be brought to youth service, I disagree on the not compulsory part

Alliswell248:
Learn to read and do some research on your own
Every sane person kniws this is a lie.

Debt was 113 billion usd in 2023
Now is under 100 billion usd
Don't believe me, but research and come back.

Where did the op mention 2023 debt profile? What I saw was 2015 before APC and now after a decade of APC. Also the naira equivalent of the loan as at then is totally different from what's obtainable now, so why are we still procuring FX loans instead of sticking to naira?

https://dailytrust.com/fiscal-disaster-tinubus-borrowing-10-times-worse-than-buharis-adc/

I'm still not sure why we're borrowing foreign loans, previously it majorly was to import refined crude and to service banks who in turn service their customers. Now those two black holes have been shut, why are we then still borrowing foreign funds? Naira I can understand.....or is it that we're borrowing FX to service the ones Buhari borrowed?

You're assuming a prenup was not signed, besides TB is doing pretty well for herself I believe

Nayturalistic:
Is that all ? How many are they in total ?

You guys are still clueless as to what this really is.

Una mind no go touch ground.

Explain what it really is then, let's understand

madridguy:
He deserves some encouragement to do more. They need it to wheel down their farm produce.

He is 100 % better than Abia lawmaker that share plastic bucket last week or the former Abia governor who shared a bottle of kerosine.

Abia lawmaker vs Benue governor, do you see the difference? Don't get me wrong, Both empowerment items are as stupid as the politicians gifting them out.

SoftSport:
Go and check their social media pages. I believe they should be more responsive there. Good luck.

Thanks brother, I've actually seen a more recent rate just now.

Hello people. I'm supposed to do my medical at IOM Lagos early next month and from what I was sent, I'd have to make the payment before that day ($95). Unfortunately, even though it's clearly stated on the site that the conversion rates are available on the site, I haven't been able to find it at all. The rate I saw somewhere else online was a 2024 rate so that's probably not current. All calls to their contact centre were either not picked or didn't connect, quintessential Nigerian contact centre behavior
Any information will be appreciated, especially from someone that has paid the medical fees recently.
