Kobicove: I seriously doubt if that guy would willingly ever set foot in Nigeria again, he knows what's waiting for him - first his father will destroy his passport and other travel documents then they will bundle him off to rehab or the shrine of ezenmuo to try and find out where the wires in his head are touching
BUHARI do him own kano-Maradi line, TINUBU dey do him own Lagos-Calabar. I think na buhari also start Badagry-Sokoto highway. I no wetin that one go provide.
Jakpon: Construction started in 2024(two years ago) and works are already on going in four states out of the nine states which this project will capture. This project has provided thousands of jobs for both skilled & unskilled labourers, site engineers, truck & caterpillar drivers, cement; sand & iron suppliers, heavy duty machine operators etc.
TopBanter: Attack the message, if you can, and not the messenger because everything Okowa says is the truth.
Running against Tinubu, as Atiku's VP candidate, and speaking like this shows exemplary class most Nigerians don't have because Okowa is demonstrating he can still admit the positive truth about a political opponents.
Whereas most Nigerian leaders, like Atiku and Obi, only know how to lie, deny obvious and tangible progress Nigeria is making under PBAT and play toxic opposition politics.
Okowa is appearing progressive and politically sophisticated with his truthful praises of Tinubu's verifiable good leadership.
If the goal of political leaders is for Nigeria to make progress they will be truthful about positive and impactful achievement under a regime regardless of Political Party membership.
A simple test showing who a progressive leader is will be to note opposition politicians who have praised the good Tinubu is doing because his achievements are many, never-before-seen and stunning.
Any opposition of the APC doing that shows Nigeria's progress is uppermost for them not political office alone.
Toxic politicians like Obi and Atiku only know to focus on and attack what must be improved but never praise the many spectacular achievement and progress made the world is praising Tinubu for because no President before PBAT has had the bravery and focus to deliver them. Not Rocket science.
that retired DSS guy amachree is a straight forward guy in his interviews
SalamRushdie: Even from the way the shameless journalist writes you will know he is lying 😁...what is liver sclerosis? His story is all over the place unlike Amacharee whose story is precise and consise...Well I would take y'all for free the story of the Indian girls was cooked up in the interest of National unity as the north would have erupted in riots if it was ever released that two Igbo ladies where the last ones with Abacha ...it was a brilliant story to save the country from further tension
Having played for France at various age-grade levels, Nigeria-eligible Lesley Ugochukwu is on the verge of switching international allegiance. Now 22 years old and with a senior invitation to Les Bleus very remote, his chances of making the French squad look highly improbable and the Super Eagles is now an option, and according to FIFA rules, he is still eligible to star for Nigeria. The eggheads of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have long been pursuing the former Chelsea midfielder, Lesley Ugochukwu, to convince him to switch his international allegiance from France to Nigeria. Meanwhile, the Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle has publicly kept the door open for the 22-year-old mid-fielder to represent Nigeria.
Born in Rennes to Nigerian parents, Ugochukwu has represented his country of birth at U18, U19, U20, U21 and U23 levels.
The 22-year-old became provisionally cap-tied to France after making his competitive debut for their youth team in a European U19 Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan in November 2022.
Lesley hopes to earn a place in France’s senior squad in the near future, making it a challenging task for the Nigeria Football Federation to persuade him to switch his allegiance to Nigeria. However, that might change now as the player with dual nationality is set to switch allegiance to Nigeria now and the Malian-born Super Eagles coach, Chelle will get a new option to pick from.
This comes as the former Chelsea midfielder, Ugochukwu has taken his first few steps to switch allegiance from France to Nigeria.
The 22-year-old midfielder was born in France to Nigerian parents, and he represented France at youth level.
However, he is 22 now and cannot play youth-level football anymore. He is due for the senior team, but he is yet to get an official call-up to the senior team, Les Bleus. But according to FIFA rules, a player can still switch allegiance to Nigeria. As a result, the Super Eagles door is still open. It appears that the former Chelsea man is willing to try that route. In the summer, he was in Nigeria, and was even spotted playing football with Super Eagles star Kelechi Iheanacho in Owerri. Now, reports have emerged that he has started the process of acquiring his Nigerian passport which will make him a bonafide Nigerian.
Once Ugochukwu gets his Nigerian passport, the next thing for him will be to switch his nationality with world football governing body FIFA so he can start playing for the Super Eagles. A player of Ugochukwu’s profile would be a good fit for Chelle’s system and he can give Nigeria a few good years. The 22-year-old is originally a defensive midfielder, but he is more of a box-to-box player. He is physically strong, has composure on the ball, and is a decent carrier. The Rennes academy product also has the work rate which is needed to thrive in Chelle’s system.
His switch to the Super Eagles would provide healthy competition and depth in Nigeria’s midfield, and he can also chip in with the odd goal. Meanwhile, Galatasaray have confirmed former Chelsea midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu has joined them on loan from Burnley in a deal that could eventually be worth £25.5m.
The Turkish club said in a statement that they have agreed to pay a £3m loan fee this season for the Clarets’ record signing. They also have the option of making the deal permanent next summer for another £22.5m or his transfer becomes obligatory if Ugochukwu makes 25 appearances. Burnley need to sell after being relegated from the Premier League and Ugochukwu flew into Istanbul from Paris penultimate Monday night on a private jet to complete the deal. The former France Under-21 international has passed a medical and Galatasaray say he has agreed a contract worth £2.25m a year. Ugochukwu, 22, told Galatasaray’s YouTube Channel: “I’m proud to be here. I’m very happy. I’ve come to a very big team. Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to play for big clubs. Coming to this big club completes this happiness for me. I can’t wait to meet our fans and get to know everyone.”
[b]Burnley paid a club record £25m for Ugochukwu when they signed him from Chelsea last summer. Ugochukwu, who spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Southampton, made 35 Premier League appearances last season under former manager Scott Parker in their unsuccessful campaign to avoid relegation.
How well Ugochukwu will fit into the Super Eagles when he finally completes his international switch remains to be seen.
Svoboda: But he removed subsidy wholesale rather than gradually. When it comes to protecting our farmers it has to be gradually. Under Buhari, we were net rice producers because he was very much intentional. It was until Tinubu introduced his ill-timed neoliberal policies that prices began to shoot. How do you even increase output when you're deliberately putting local farmers out of competition? Tinubus agric policy is so ambiguous that his handlers are even struggling to string coherent words together.
Otti knows, just like every other SE gov seeking to job Tinubu, that he can't even guarantee 5% for Tinubu. Why should he decieve himself?
“The Assembly adopted a decision, by secret ballot, by an absolute majority of 82 States Parties, finding that Mr. Karim Khan committed serious misconduct and serious breach of duty and removed him from office under article 46 of the Rome Statute,” ICC said.
after FIFA overturn that Balogun red card ban because of TRUMP phone call, i no fit believe this one ooo
what did Dominique Strauss Khan do? you know e go pounce on one african woman come run take flight
Svoboda: This is all because he'd the guts to indict netanyahu and other Israeli genocidaires. Immediately he was being investigated, Israel mounted a campaign for the icc to overturn the war criminals indictment.
This was the same game they played against Dominique Strauss Khan at the imf.
