Deltamani: Hmm, just a few talent here and there with the two Chawinga Sisters the key factor.. Unlike your Country that has over hundreds of talents but the FA wouldn’t do much to make the National team better..
I don’t think they two alone can get the job done! They still need few other good ones to compliment their efforts if the FA choose to support them..
I watched their games at the last COSAFA. I think they are more coordinated than you give them credit in your post here. They may not win the AWCON but would definitely not be taken for granted. They definitely deserve to be ranked in Africa’s top ten if their FA could do slightly better.
It’s a shame that Malawi have somehow wasted this generation of Malawian talents. They won the cosafa cup last year beating Zambia and SA in the process but always withdraw from qualifiers of big competitions like the AWCON and Olympics.
Jamestown123: There are nothing to prove to you my bro, it's staring right to you in the eyes. Stop denying the fact that you think insecurities has reduced, roads are improved, and education and health is better under this regime. I supported the fuel subsidy removal, because i thought the money was going to be used for a better course. But no, borrowing has even increased, debts keeps growing, the economy keep tumbling, because of the government lack of foresight. I thought after fuel subsidy removal, the money will be channeled into education, agriculture, and security improvement. But no, all the government knows is to keep spending lavishly without any proper plans. And concerning where I come from: I'm neither Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. And I have never defended Ghana here. Ghana wey dey ment?
Fuel subsidy is actually back. If Tinubu truly removes fuel subsidy in full you would be paying nothing less than 1350 for fuel today.
Jamestown123: I really don't like typing long, but I will be quick sha. You are really sounding like a politician or someone who is on the payroll of this present administration. It's very stupid and disrespectful of you to say, insecurity has reduced significantly, And I mean book haram, bandits, kidnapping and herdsmen attacks has been reduced to a record low. This shows that is either you are on the payroll of the government, and you will say anything to defend them, or you are not informed, and chooses to be ignorant to what's happening in the country. Not everybody that speaks about the evil of the government is against the country, we have to speak because it affects us in one way or the other. On the road infrastructure, you are not a frequent traveller, and I can bet you hardly knows of any Nigerian roads. You are the type that relies on news to tell you how roads are being constructed left right center, mine while nothing as such is going on. Few roads are being constructed, I agree, but not the way you are putting it. The only thing you could have told me is that, the government is still just 1 year in office, and I could have just kept my peace. You said it's to early to have a full accessment on healthcare, the price of medical drugs and other medical equipments has gone up X4 of it's actual price, since this present administration came in. A wise government, can't just come in and remove fuel subsidy, health subsidy, electricity subsidy, education subsidy and any other subsidies all at once and claim is saving the economy. You came in when the economy was ranked 1st in Africa, now we are 4th in Africa. A government who is asking you to tighting your belts and be patients with the government, is spending 21 billion, to renovate a structure. Increased lawmakers salaries by almost 300%, yet, can't increase civil servants salaries. You have it, doesn't mean that all Nigerians have it. It's even a big security threat to you, to have it, while majority peoples around you don't. And that is the reason why kidnapping and arm robberies has been on the increase.
Tinubu increased lawmakers salary?Constitutionally can he do that?
AskiaHarem: That’s because not everybody on a civilian basis be it individual or group is equal. Some indolent, the failing, some scraping by, most vibing, some succeeding, some Excelling. There isn’t a one voice because the Nigerian experience has a much wider spectrum than say Kenya or Mali.
The indolent just want everybody and everything to burn so they can scavenge the ashes or install there own corrupt system to benefit there own group. [Anarchist Revolutionist/Coup]
The failing who find themselves struggling to escape the bottom weather it be from there own inadequacy or unfortunate circumstances in the unforgiving atmosphere of a developing nation-state where opportunities can be scarce at times. [Hard Revolutionist/Coup]
The Scrapers who are one step above the failing who only make ends meet(scrape by) and struggle with advancing further do to said circumstances. [Soft Revolutionist/Hard Reformist]
The Vibers aka the middle grown or the local middle class. There generally somewhat of if not totally secure both lower & upper. They have prospects of going up in the ladder; but also know a bad move can throw them off. They prefer not to risk rocking the boat to much. [Hard-Reformist]
The Succeeding who are able to harness there skills and secure opportunities; are usually always climbing the latter with a positive outlook for the future. Like Vibers they prefer not to rock the boat to much and risk compromising there growth if at all. [Soft-Reformist]
The Excellers these are the rocketeers of Nigerian society; on there way to becoming extremely wealthy and influential if they aren’t already are. Like anybody these people could have have achieved their place through birthright, nefarious actions, or honest hard work. These people want little if anything to change “fundamentally” because it’s working out for them. [Soft-Reformist/No Change]
As said before there is no “One Voice” for Nigeria and likely never will in the foreseeable future because the Naija experience & retrospective is far to nigh equally broad with no class or group having the upper hand.
The average Nigerian is more interested in restructuring/reforms. Anyone who attempts extreme measures or holds zero urgency will never have a platform to get off the ground which is honestly for the better.
Exactly. Who do you want to protest? Is it people who are more concerned about Davido than the price of tomatoe?
Jamestown123: Lol. The problem is not even the removal of all those subsidies we have been enjoying before oo. What have the money been used for? That is the golden question. We haven't seen any improvement on our roads, inflations keep getting higher, our national debts keep increasing on a daily, because of constant borrowing. One would think that, after removal of fuel subsidy, education subsidy, electricity subsidy and health subsidy, that there will be an improvement in all these agencies, but no, still nothing. Security zero, education zero, health care zero, roads zero, Tinubu's first year in office has been a complete disaster and nothing more.
Well there is still subsidy because after the first removal in May 2023, the resulting spike in the prices of goods and services never allowed the naira remain stable. So with the movement of the naira away from 760 and 900, subsidy of fuel is back for now. The only policy Tinubu seemed to have successfully achieved 100% for now is suppression of Naira black market but at a price of a weak naira.
Same thing with Nigeria. The debt servicing for the past one year have increased tremendously. The policy reforms in Nigeria and Argentina and probably Kenya as well have been quite hard on the citizens.
Sometimes I envy Ghana. Yes they’ve defaulted which would always affect their credit rating but now they wouldn’t have to continuously service those debts (at least for some years to come).
vaxx: Yes it hasn't changed the fact that the same company operates in both countries.
Yes the market in Ghana are found in Nigeria. Check your blu band next time and see the production line or even Kings oil. They have a label.
What do you mean by the market in Ghana are found in Nigeria if according to you the company produces in both Ghana and Nigeria? Also, Kings oil is produced in Nigeria but I am yet to find the article that says it’s also produced in Ghana.
vaxx: I said kings oil in Ghana not Ghanaian kings oil.
This was your argument from your earlier post:
“that is a welcome development.presco is not actually doing well in the market, hopefully Nigerians management can utilize their skills to return them into profitable venture.
Kings oil in Ghana with a subsidiary in Nigeria is one of the biggest palm oil production in Africa ( and among the top five in the world) kings oil from Ghana are even available in Nigeria market, at times they just produce just so many for Ghana market , so they offload it to Asia or some part of Africa.
vaxx: I said kings oil in Ghana not Ghanaian kings oil.
What are you saying? Wasn’t your initial argument against the guy who posted PRESCO entering Ghana, a reply to say that a Ghanaian company Kings oil is the biggest palm oil company in West Africa with some available in Nigeria ? or should I repost your comment?
vaxx: A basic way to search the Google. "" Does Ghana produce kings oil"" and let's see what you find.
Okay I did and still this is what I found. Trust me, if this company is as big as you say, I wouldn’t have this trouble finding it. The companies that produce vegetable oil in Ghana are not as big as you described. So you clearly exaggerated.
vaxx: lol, personal issues, I even sent them an email as at yesterday, it is a mini city on its own. It has is own estates ,villages, farms, hotels and many expertrate close to about 1000
Just goggle kings oil Ghana and its location, you shouldn't be stressed out to find it on the Internet. And also checked for their volume of production. I think in the whole of Africa, only Nigeria can claim to have more palm oil output than Ghana.
I have googled it exactly as you suggested and I can’t find it. The closest I found are in India and Nigeria. If they are so big, it shouldn’t be this hard. Give me a link.

I can’t find this King’s oil Ghana. The closest I found is Devon kings oil refined locally in Nigeria and no mention of Ghana. Can you give me a link please?
Smartphone sales in Nigeria grew in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to the International Data Corporation.
Nigeria overcame market volatility and a significant currency devaluation to record Africa’s second-highest growth rate thanks to a strong push by Chinese brands,” the data insight firm said.
In August 2023, Umar Danbatta, the then executive vice chairman of the NCC, disclosed that Nigeria was ranked 11th in internet penetration and seventh in mobile phone usage globally.
”Nigeria is a telecommunications powerhouse, accounting for 82 percent of the continent’s telecom subscribers and 29 percent of the continent’s internet consumption,he said.”
The FG of Nigeria will officially launch the reopening of freight services on the old narrow gauge rail line from Apapa Port in Lagos to Dala Inland Dry Port in Kano spanning a distance of 1132km within a few days as rehabilitation is complete.
jl115: There is talk about a secret coalition between the DA and ANC, both parties however do not want to enter an official coalition due to the fact that they are worried about their reputation thus they are calling it a working agreement but it is infact a coalition
Would EFF also be in that coalition? What of Zuma’s party?
This YouTuber has great videos for all African countries. He also called Nigeria (Lagos) the center of black excellence and Abuja the capital of West Africa.
Heffalump: I've never seen a country like Nigeria that loves the dollars more than the Americans that own it. We adore another country's currency as if our lives depended on it, and if not we all die!
I've been to other African countries and you don't see them speak much about the dollars. Who did this to us?
Because our lives actually depends on it. Those other countries you mentioned do not have unstable fx rates. When theirs get unstable, they also worry.
The jet fuel shipment to Europe is just the latest milestone achieved in the last few months. Dangote has already exported six jet fuel/kerosene cargoes, all delivered to Senegal, Togo or Ghana.
Sunnyson8: This girl is bomb, in her first season as a Pro Baller. This girl really need to be talked about more like her PR team is very very weak, she needs more publicity, Going to Italy when the league is already past half gone and still putting in this number goals is something to be amazed about.
Randy need to play her more in that no.10 position as she might do better than Toni Payne who have also done well in that position than on the wing for the SuperFalcons. Let the No.10 spot just be a battle between Toni and Onyi, whosoever delivers should be the starter.
Also note that her first 5 games or thereabout were from the bench usually less than 20 minutes of play.
