Starmer has done a good job of cozying up to Trump. I gather the UK are top in line to receive American freebies.

Still wondering what is going on between us and China though. Lots of back and forth but this governments message has been clear- we need them. I'm beginning to appreciate Starmer's diplomacy with both the U.S and China - cozying up to them but standing furm on local issues.

That’s the only way for the uk now I don’t think his earlier European tour before Trump resumed office achieved anything as the EU told him he can’t come back through the back door 😂 so he had to kiss Trump’s arse while China has to be a side chick too.

For US and China, they will just have to do risk management things till the end of baba Trump tenure

Leave which country? Some of them are going nowhere. That his Homeland security woman owns a farm where she has been using illegal immigrants even as a governor of one of those Dakotas.
This is just a way of rewarding loyalists. At the end of the day, illegals that work with Trump allies will be spared while others will be humiliated to El Salvador as criminals.
The same thing with tariffs, businesses aligned with him will get exemption while others can go to hell.
What will happen over the next weeks and months is businesses and people will start buying his market, crypto coins, bibles, hotels etc. and other products he is going to release in future just to get exemptions
Baby Trump don hammer

Exactly I won’t have put it better. That was the agenda all along. 1. Retribution against all perceived enemies 2. Steal and plunder all in the name of tariffs and exemptions for those kissing his arse.

commoditiesnig:
I tell you… very bad optics

Especially when the money is said have been released from a budget not duly approved by the state house of assembly.

NBA shouldn’t be seen in breach of the law of the land.

NBA refund the money to redeem your image

This is not looking good

opposition party

this one choke o

France 98 team had a very good friendlies but failure to participate in Afcon 96&98 affected the team.I remember the 23 man list to Afcon 96 was a mixed of 94 oldies and Atlanta 96 team,solid selection.

Atlanta 96 was there to cover up for that Afcon 96 gap, we simply threw all lessons learnt from 94-96 away as there was no sense of purpose

these guys are confused, make una stay one place na, today is atiku tomorrow is Jonathan haba

TheGoodJoe:
France 98 was total mismanagement and atrocious preparation. It is still what we suffer today. Little to no competition to the regular first team players. Also lack of patience in team building.

It’s what we keep talking about; building on previous successes. USA 94 as first timers was a success especially with the Afcon 94 win but still we couldn’t manage success. We threw the coaching crew of the 94 team away and blame game started. Even success of Atlanta 96, we couldn’t translate or manage it to France 98, we threw away everything. It’s still happening now

Cmeo:
Naturalized citizens are those legal permanent resident who expressed interested in becoming a citizen of USA and who picked up the citizenship of USA when granted

Many never understood the meaning of naturalised citizens 😂

That’s how and why the orange man keeps deceiving them all

jedisco:
Trumps shenanigans and Starmers handling of it hasn't given her much wiggle room. Truth be said, Starmer has been doing the lords work on her lately - she no dey remember 9ja. The media cancel on her is quite strinking though. Whenever she's in the news, its either because of a gaffe and her removal being predicted or on certain reportage where due to fair reporting rules, her opinion has to be included as the opposition.

That’s a casted format now. 10% tariff na your mate?

Kog45:
Kai that match made fans cried that night....all Oliseh needed was simple tackling but experience failed him,Italy down with 10 men,not using Siasia affected us...Okocha was playing to the gallery and funny with Okocha,Oliseh starting,Adepoju and Oliha later came from the bench,Italy team seized our midfield despite the red card to Zola.

I hate watching this match

USA'94 is pardonable because of a lack of experience, but do you see France '98? That one was criminal

Lexusgs430:
Queue plenty o..... About 15 people dey my front.... 😁😂

Are they kissing your arse or you’re the one kissing theirs? 😜

Honestey:
It's no wonder NBA couldn't fault Fubara for destroying the state house and passing budget with just 3 people. Anyone taking NBA seriously henceforth needs to be saved from himself.

They are all thieves masquerading as activists and human rights advocates

Lexusgs430:
Suya University, Allen don cast.... That place is now an old taker...... 😁😂

Would go to suya academy tonight..... 😁😉

Am putting tariff on that suya right away cos na there we go see you 😜

This is a weak response NBA, states govt going forward will be more careful dealing with you guys. You got the money based on goodwill.

Common sense will suggest you either go ahead to do the conference in rivers or you return the money for future goodwill. The problem here is that you guys don’t want to see the sole administrator in your conference which is understandable but that would have been the best opportunity to tell the whole world where you guys stand on the rule of law even if the sole administrator is there. You guys chickened out due to sentiments and emotions that may cost you more in the future

Bonjovi13:
The call by the sole administrator of Rivers for NBA to refund the money on principle is mischievous and is meant to discredit the leadership of the NBA.

The 300M given to NBA by the Fubara administration in Rivers was to aid the NBA to conduct a world class AGC in Rivers State.

There was no contract that guaranteed a hosting right. It was a gift to the association.

NBA reserves the right to change the venue of the conference if conditions in the state has changed. There is no law in Nigeria that can compel NBA to return the gift especially since the conference it was meant for is still holding albiet in another state.

The money would be used for the NBA conference that would further position the association to call out unconstitutional actions by state and non state actors.

The NBA will only ruin its name and goodwill in the future as they expect other states to host them in future conferences.

This is why an independent body like NBA ought not to be involved in politics. They dragged themselves unnecessarily into this mess as their actions are deemed to be taking sides. Yearly they seem to dragging their name into all manner of issues from conducting shambolic elections or inviting musical artists whose conduct is not in tandem with their hallowed profession. It’s up to them sha!

Mujtahida:
This is not about Chelle oo per se. It's about our football administration.
My issue is that we lack the ability to plan and implement long term. See Morocco is now positioning itself to be a football powerhouse in Africa. It's not on the pitch. It's about policy. We don't have any.

We the fans and the media are not also interested in long term planning with our win at all cost mentality, no matter what we achieve we must find excuses to demonise coaches and players hence we keep chopping off coaches and players, listen to the video you posted na the dude complain about the way we mount pressure for players to be invited once we think they are good in Europe. How much do we care for the long term? We also retire some of our good legs too early which causes imbalance in the team. It’s a whole lot to consider here

Omo see casting!

NBA abeg make Una no disgrace person just jejely return the money for credibility sake

Bayelsa has given a bad precedence

Ordinary Nigerian without expert training understands the deep issues plaguing Nigerian football but coach after coach we continue to struggle.

Until we are humble enough to appreciate what is working and build on it nothing will change as you can’t build nothing on nothing. There are one or two positives from even this current coach that I never supported initially but we can start from there. But if we throw him out again we will continue to go backwards. Chelle is an attacking minded coach, why don’t we just start building right away!

justwise:
He enjoys the bully pulpit position, he said that many countries are kissing his arse begging to make a deal,

The dumb dude enjoys seeing people suffer while he switches world economy off and on as he wishes.

Nobody in his administration that can stop or even dare to disagree with him.

Till today we have not seen the list of countries kissing his arse, we heard so much noise of Japan coming to negotiate not knowing those ones were silently doing the Lord’s work in the bond markets 😂 that made baba to pipe down. Those folks are the original niggas, no noise no response like China, just went to carry their money jeje!

jedisco:
The 'beauty' of capitalism. Even if one doesn't like capitalism, to do well in the west, one needs to understand it.

Just like pre-Brexit, I'm sure when folks asked what would happen to the care sector e.t.c if eastern Europeans stopped coming, avid brexiteers would have said 'good! they're stealing our jobs and keeping wages low'. Well, we know how things went.

One thing I've noticed about major western nations is that they not too infrequently mimic themselves. You can just about predict how one would go by looking at another.


Poor Trumpists are still waiting for the freebies they were promised.

Very predictable 😂 cos their options are always limited due to very visible vulnerabilities. EU was subsidising the UK, so when the subsidy is removed it’s easy to predict what next, like the way China subsidises the US and so it’s easy to know what next when that subsidy goes

masseratti:
am not a trump supporter,but sometimes a wrong clock can be right twice on a day..the Europeans western Europe have been maybe due to lack of strong leaders complacent,we all should thank China for manufacturing cheap alternative products and getting better with them over the years.. intellectual property right or not...the USA did same to European inventors too to get to where they arr today.. patent laws were in existence in Europe since 1700..USA didn't have one till late 1800.

My point is the USA can also have a lil bit of socialist model.. create economic free zone..where healthcare, housing, education,food is already cheap in the USA..will be heavily subsidized like it is in China...that will bring down the labor cost .. create a supply chain to feed those industries in the economic zones ...labor cost is the main issue why companies are manufacturing in China..the only thing that is making the labor cost cheap there are those needs of an average Joe.this tariffs is just archaic.

Forget it, they will tell you it’s communism, those guys are fraudsters, they will rather prefer the existing model of using illegal workers like visa overstayers or those who come in thru the borders to maximise or optimise profits. That’s why trump is telling the farmers and hotels to recommend those illegals they will allow to stay or even return to the country. The noise about illegal immigration is just for politics and votes for elections.

And as for intellectual property theft, I don’t even listen to those rhetorics anymore and you’re right they too did theirs, their pain is that the hunter has now become the hunted 😂

How can party members say they have resolved to support the party, Looks like they've been doing anti-party activities

The story dey one kind!

justwise:
Well is making his rich friends richer and destroying the world economy.

Apparently he wants to allow some undocumented immigrants stay to work in farms and construction companies as long as their bosses recommend them.

The whole tariff thing makes no sense anymore, just a game of numbers with no meaningful change.

Folks like Cyberknight, I remember, have said here that very soon they will learn the hard way that cheap labor subsidizes the American economy.

jedisco:
Hehe..
Tariffs on China to reduce taxes on Americans. Sounds very similar to 'we send £355 miliion to the EU a week'. This seems to be their Brexit moment and they may very well learn the British way.

So far, China isn't blinking and the U.S is looking increasingly desperate to discuss.

Eitherway, with the market selloff, it's looking like those who bought last week sniped a good deal.

to fix potholes and clear rubbish off the streets don choke now.

As for the markets, insider trading galore, only God can forgive sins o

jedisco:
Hehe... Trump chasing straws

Liberation day don turn to shege day!

CornOak:
Based on my long-term observation, the problems facing the Super Eagles as a team do not lie heavily on the players nor the coaching crew. Unsurprisingly, the challenges are deeply rooted in the SYSTEM.

By system, I mean the administration, organization, intention, commitment, drive, and the desire to improve the team. You can't set beautiful goals and expect remarkable results on a faulty system – apparently, the joy would be short-lived.

Unfortunately, everyone shares blame to different parties after every abysmal team performance but hardly question our FOOTBALL SYSTEM.

Twelve (12) years after Nigeria's last AFCON trophy and seven (7) years since our last FIFA World Cup appearance, the Super Eagles still cannot boast of a permanent home turf, a top-class training and accommodation center, a signature football identity, the latest technologies, or a stable football administration.

Our boys thrive abroad and perform incredibly well week-in week-out due to the coordinated footballing ecosystem they belong. It's not a rocket science, we are doing everything wrong!

For a modern football team to excel, every tiny input count – ranging from the choice of their training pitch to the type of food they eat, their sleeping routine, the method/type of exercise, and even the sports kits they wear, just to mention a few. These bits sum up to produce the eventual result—weather good or otherwise.

If you think I'm distorting facts, go back and watch Ekong's post-match interview in Rwanda, where a journalist asked about his experience in Kigali. The captain was absolutely blown by the system the country has built which creates the environment for their team to thrive.

Have you ever wondered why these small countries no longer fear the great SE? It's because they're persistently improving their system while we're on the same spot, in fact, maybe regressing.

To conclude, the NFF needs to be intentional about our football and completely revamp the system, starting from the bottom up.

As a matter of urgency, the glass house must return to the drawing board, make wide consultations, design a master developmental strategy, build a sustainable system around it, and implement accordingly to reclaim our lost glory.

Our administrators must focus on the value of our teams making tiny improvements consistently which accumulate into incredible results, than just waiting for one defining moment which may never return again.

Finally, a deliberate commitment to the system rebuilding process will ensure and established progress.

I hope we get it right one day.

So it’s food, kits and turf that will make a team concede carelessly in the 90th minute 😂
