I wish PETER OBI returned to the labour party to build something strong and courageous with these great young who are bold and unbendable.

Alex Otti, Ginger Onwusibe and Alex mascot will soar higher in LP.

Israel can't kill an ideology. Violence begat violence.

You are wrong.Virginity does not automatically describe a good woman.A lady can be a virgin and still be rude, jealous,has anger issues.
I am talking from experience

EmmyMaestro:
Don't just look for virgin for a wife. Get a woman with good character, manners and respect for a wife. Because virginity ends in one night but good character, manners and respect is needed forever.

Well killing ayatolla is one thing...... having a favourable regime is what will seal the deal and that's their next target.

Welcome to nairaland where everyone is a war analyst.

Go and read THE ART OF WAR, you will understand IRAN Strategy

Always analyze these data on a per Capita basis. The SW is almost three times the SE in population. You can't just use absolute numbers to rate the SE when it is by far the lowest in population

Keep deceiving yourself. What did they achieve with the first edition? I was there.

A country as big as Nigeria... The same 'big country' with below standard minimum wage, epileptic power supply, lack of basic amenities, etc. But it's coach we should be focusing on paying exorbitantly for not even reaching the target set for him.

SMH!

Everybody come and see the "Peak Comedy" happening in Nigerian football! If you thought we had seen it all with the 4-3 penalty heartbreak in Rabat last November, then you are a "learner." We are currently witnessing a double dose of "premium drama": on one side, we are begging FIFA for a "technical victory" over DR Congo, and on the other, our coach is asking for a salary that can buy half of Lekki Phase 1. It is officially the season of "Shamelessness" and "Greed," and the Super Eagles are the main characters!

Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), has reaffirmed his confidence that Nigeria will obtain a favourable verdict in the ongoing eligibility dispute. Imagine a whole nation waiting for a boardroom miracle because we couldn't finish the job on the pitch. We are claiming DR Congo used "ineligible" players with European passports. Even if it’s true, is this how we want to go to the World Cup? Through "petition" and "Big Grammar"? We have become the "Sore Losers" of Africa!

The Super Eagles lost 4-3 on penalties to DR Congo in the final 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoffs last November. We had the chance, we had the players, but we lacked the "liver" to win. Now, the NFF has formally lodged a complaint, challenging the eligibility of several Congolese players based on their national laws against dual citizenship. We are basically playing "Legal Football" now!

“It is what it is," Dikko told journalists after meeting President Tinubu. He says we have a "good case" and that they noticed these breaches even before the playoffs. If you noticed them before, why didn't you stop the game then? Why wait until after the "premium tears" of a penalty shootout? It feels like we are just looking for a "one-chance" lifeline to save our faces from the shame of missing another World Cup!

While we are fighting FIFA, our Franco-Malian tactician, Eric Chelle, is busy fighting for his pocket. Reports say he has submitted a 19-point proposal seeking a salary review from $50,000 to a staggering $130,000 per month (approximately ₦174 million). ₦174 million every month? For a coach who just lost a playoff? The "Greed" is truly legendary!

The proposal doesn't stop at money. Chelle wants an official SUV with a chauffeur and security, housing in a "secured environment," and flight tickets for his family (Business Class for him and Madam, of course). He even wants his Personal Assistant included in the bonus structures! It’s like he thinks the NFF is a "Money Doubler" scheme. Sir, this is a football federation, not a billionaire’s charity!

One of the most hilarious points is his demand for 24-hour uninterrupted electricity at his residence to "support training analysis." My brother, welcome to Nigeria! Even the "Senior Men" in Aso Rock use generators. To ask for 24/7 light in this economy shows that Chelle is living in a "formatted" reality. He wants to live like a King while the fans are crying "Sapa"!

Chelle is also demanding "full autonomy" in player selection and the authority to choose international friendly opponents. He wants the NFF to sign a "Working Contract" for his staff and pay them on or before the 30th of every month. He’s basically telling the NFF, "Pay me like a CEO or I go to Marseille." The ego is currently higher than the Burj Khalifa!

The NFF has reportedly rejected the salary leap, citing "financial realities." Of course they did! Where will they find ₦174 million monthly when players are still asking for their 2024 bonuses? Chelle’s demands are "outrageous" and show a lack of respect for the current budgetary constraints of the nation.

Back to the FIFA verdict,we are literally begging for a "re-entry." If FIFA awards us the win, we go to the intercontinental playoffs in Mexico next month. But if we go there and lose again, what will be the next excuse? Will we petition the weather? Or the grass? The "shamelessness" of relying on a courtroom to reach a World Cup is at an all-time high!

Nigerians are currently "suspended" between waiting for a FIFA email and waiting for Chelle to lower his price. It’s a "wicked" combination of uncertainty. We don't have a stable coach, and we don't know if we are in or out of the World Cup. Our football is currently "lagging" worse than a 2G network in a rainstorm!

Chelle’s agents are playing a "dangerous game" by linking him with clubs in France. If he wants to leave, let him go! No coach is worth ₦174 million a month in this period, especially not one who couldn't beat DR Congo in 120 minutes. We need a coach with "liver," not just a coach with a big appetite for dollars!

Oya, Nigerians, are you "Team Petition" or "Team Move On"? And as for Coach Chelle, should we pay him the $130k or just cancel his contract and hire a local coach?

i have never seen a people more self destructing than this. Later, they'll still claim victimisation. You hate your best chances and sabotage your top men, for nothing, for a non-existent biaf and a mediocre failure of a 3rd place past governor.

I believe plum is very big like mangoes but this one is small

Picked up some of this fruit I don't know the name but I like eating them

It doesn't work this way , you can't just equate 500 usd to 500 naira. The minimum wagein US is about 2000usd monthly, is the minimum wage in Nigeria, 2000 naira? There is a higher chance the US minimum wage guy will sleep on the streets homeless than the Nigerian minimum wage counterpart. When i see statements like yours i know you most likely have never left the shores of Nigeria. Many are arguing with someone who left Nigeria at some point and lived in the western world to come back. I recommend leaving Nigeria for "greener pastures"on the right visa to an average struggling youth, but understand and manage your expectation so you don't feel disappointed and get confused when you arrive the supposed Eldorado.

Here is a bunch of banana I bought for N500, this would go for nothing less than $4 in Canada, please note these are organic bananas we are talking about not the extra-sweet, GMO tampered bananas in the west and I got this in Lagos meaning folks living in the suburbs might even be buying cheaper.

I also buy I big avocado for N400, do the maths and convert to $. When next you complain about Nigeria, remember we have cheap and easily accessible fruits and vegetables.
