THE FIRST NAIRALANDER TO SPIT THREE LIES CONSECUTIVELY IN A ROW ON THIS THREAD: RASPUTINN

Some of them shout 'Jesus'. Whether they do it intentionally or involuntarily is what I am not able to say.

A friend has a suitor who is a businessman but is confused because the man did not go to school while she is almost through with her Masters Degree. At times they do not agree on some issues due to their different ways of reasoning. She is afraid the man might feel intimidated later, which is typical of our men these days! What should she do? Should she go ahead with the marriage or not?

Think David Moyes of Everton is desperate to offload both Yobo and Yakubu.

Wenger should put in a combined bid for them - £1 Million should do the trick.

I know Kanu is naija's most decorated player, because he has won everything that can be won @ European club level and not forgetting his amazing feat @ Atlanta where he brought more joy to the country than any other player.

But this is the problem, on d senior national team level, he didn't do much and technically, the Olympics is considered a tournament not for pro's.

He went to 2 world cups and 3 or so Nations Cups without impact and has only 1 or 2 nations cup goals with one being a penalty sef.

Many will point to his Olympics feat but I wont say Di Maria is an Argentine legend because he scored the winning goal against us in that final.

Legendary status is appointed to those that did it @ the highest level and that is why there is this consensus that Messi, despite being more talented than Pele and Maradona, will not be rated above them unless he wins a world cup.

It is understandable that we should all react in this way to the obviously unpalatable news, based on our perception of the character behind the rumour. but what we fail to realize or choose to ignore is that talk happens to be very cheap, anybody can come to an online forum and talk but reality can only be changed by people who face reality, who not only talk but act ,since Nigerians obviously cannot do something to practically affect their collective destiny ,we must at least be ready to face reality and tolerate the status quo, with a view to practically changing it if we are empowered to do so. since empowerment is lost because we cannot as a body unite without the coercion of professional politicians to form realistic strategies that will target corrupt individuals and bodies without  the help of government agencies overseen by the same corrupt politicians, then we must be ready to accept and work with the next best thing, and that is a corrupt politician that invests his loot inside the country, generating jobs for some and taxes for other politicians to loot. whether you like it or not bola ahmed tinubu is a thief that you have no court proof evidence to prove as one, , that there is the fact.BAT is a thief, crook, area boy ,drug dealer, money launderer, and mafia boss that nobody has been able to pin anything on, the FBI tried, the EFCC tried and they all failed. but you know that he is a crook. that means BAT must either be very very intelligent, very very protected, or very very clean,, since you obviously know that he cannot be clean, then you must accept that he must be under protection of some powerful beings. since you cannot verify this, then you must accept that he must be a very very intelligent criminal mastermind to be able to escape the combined clutches of  the FBI,EFCC,OBJs and PDP, where close palls and associates of baba obj are ending up doing short term internships at kirikiri, if we all agree that OBJ IS A VERY VINDICTIVE, unforgiving enemy then we should be surprised that he has not used the efcc against BAT, or even influence GEJ to use it to checkmate him, it must either be that OBJ IS NOT as vindictive as we think he his, or as influential as we think he must be over the EFCC when he was president or over GEJ, or maybe we are wrong, whatever, that fact is they have nothing on BAT, you have NOTHING on him, and the man is always smart enough to cover his tracks anywhere, any day, anytime, until we are able to come up with verifiable, bullet proof evidence to prove the point in a court of law, then we are just wasting valuable time.
that said, we should realize that America HAD its robber barons(Rockefeller, j.p Morgan)and political machines(Tammany hall, William tweed) before it became what it is today, no miracle is going to happen and we should learn to deal with reality, this does not justify BAT’s activities, but that is the fact. though BAT cannot be compared with these people and ACN with the organizations, some parallels are shared. life is a gradual process, Nigeria will get there, but a miracle cannot happen overnight, years back we had governors who only steal and do nothing else(we still have them), now we have governors that steal and still perform to an extent(very few indeed), fashola currently inflates project costs( stealing)  that he subsequently executes for all to see and benefit from. in years to come the curve will be shifting more to the right(  i.e more visible project and infrastructural developments) and less thievery. that is the reality. miracles only happen in computer generated economic models.
To the realists in the house, join the PDP or ACN, do not mind the kind of people you find there, start at the ward level and start influencing decisions that would help your people, make yourself relevant in the party system, connect with the right people, WALK THE TALK and let us change Nigeria for the better, starting from the parties, this is my advice for the realistic patriots who know that Nigeria cannot be changed by only posting angry comments on the internet but by taking practical steps and joining a viable party and working from within it.
Now, as a consolation for die hard idealists, who still believe politics is dirty, and that they are too clean to be involved in it, know that in years to come, you can still organise and form your own ‘’clean’’ socialist party, become a socialist president and NATIONALIZE all of BAT’s stolen assets, until then, be pragmatic and face reality.
Anytime, Any day i will always prefer a thief who invests his stolen loot in my nation where it can be of benefit to me or my people, generate jobs and generate taxes that the same politician can steal and reinvest to a thief that steals the money and carts it all off to his swiss account
