This is the type of reasoning that allowed Buhari won election and destroy our future. We have been in existence as a country for more than 60 years. A nigerian leader with such attribute does not exist. We have gone through more than 10 military and Civilian leaders since independence and none fits the description. He is either meek and corrupt or strong and very corrupt. No in between. Anyone that claims to be the type of leader you described just wants to eat our money.

Please loud it o! Nigerians always looking for a messiah they themselves can’t become 😂 Cho chocho all mouth no liver!

Sugarboyy:
Tinubu is not just going through the anti corruption route, he is also using the #12b he gave to them to hold them and not any money they got directly from FIFA

Your head Dey there you sabi 💯

Those nff guys go hear am 😂

Amedino99:
The govt would have kept quiet and swept the matter undef the rug if this issue of non qualification to world cup did not arise. The rule of law in this country is a revenge tool not something to change our lives. The only reason this audit is coming out is because the two senior national teams did not qualify for their world cups.

And that’s what gives the govt the moral authority to act cos tax payers money can’t just go down the drain like that!

For those concerned about fifa ban for interference make Una calm down! The mafia in aso rock knows how to navigate such terrain as you can see they are going the anti corruption route to get the nff executives instead of removing them from their positions directly, na tactics

Sugarboyy:
That one overrated himself. Imagine a godfather becoming president, that one Na problem na

To rule Nigeria, you must be a mafia; if not, you can't change or influence anything, and things will just remain the same

NFF Gusau thought that Tinubu na gentleman,baba Tinubu na confirmed Agbero ....Infantino told Gusau go back home and sort thing out,next EFCC don open file on 12 billon naira given to NFF by president.

Nice collabo, no forming of accent, just two cool and natural boys!

Wishing them the best this season; they look hungry for success, and I am confident they will do great things together

I see.. it it for local st0cks?


A Nigerian resident in Nigeria investing in an American st0ck would be subject to the 30% withholding tax on dividends but same Nigerian in the UK would pay 15% or 0%

Yes! The new tax laws are responsible for the increase, I think!

Hello
I am having serious problems with hearing what the British are saying , I am really struggling and if this continues I might lose my job . The communication is broken since I hardly hear them , and I have been here for 11 months. I am scared there will be a serious problem

You could start by politely appealing to them to speak slowly and see how it goes. Please remember to be courteous

So every black person that achieves something in the Western world should be afraid of the media abi.....

I wonder, if someone like Obama had taken this advice, would he have ever had the chance to become a Senator, let alone the first minority President in a modern America!

This thing is not as complicated as people are making it out to be. My advice to fellow immigrants is no matter what you achieve, stay true to yourself and the community that you know birthed/molded you....if you keep this rule, it will guide you and save you from most of the invisible traps that are being set.

The same Obama, till today, still gets abused and bullied on social media; even Trump and his gang still can't get him out of their mouths. Was it not too long ago Trump posted a monkey profile of Obama and his wife that got the entire world talking? You never jam body go tell you

jedisco:
Markets keep pushing up despite all the talk about the AI bubble and the crash being imminent. The thing sef tire me. The crash go dey brutal.

One of the major underrated advantages of being resident in the West is the cheap and easy access to global markets. For e.g, buying an S&P fvnd in the UK is quite cheap and will cost less than 0.1% in total fees. Also, dividends paid out would be tax-exempt if in a pension or limited to 15% if in an ISA.

I looked into local Nigerian platforms (e.g. Bamboo) and the fees were relatively extortionate. There's a 1.5% trading fee and also a platform fee which Bamboo or others might take. Dividend payouts are taxed at 30%. Over the longterm, all these would easily take upto 25% of gains just in the medium term.

Then there's the knowledge and accessibility which in Western nations is quite good with the average person having access to these products and reasonably good + regulated advice at their fingertips. In 9ja ponzi schemes still reign supreme. Perhaps, AI would help democraticise knowledge.

I'm an optimist and used to think most developing nations would catch up with time but when I see things like this I begin to wonder because wealth does compound. If in the West and you're not using these instruments then you're leaving a lot on the table.

@the bolded, I think these are concerns that the stock exchange boss recently raised with the FG on a visit to the President, and they have promised to look into it. I hope they intervene soon to continue to attract FDI.

Someone has helped me stress it better! A word is enough for the wise!

justwise:
He was not bullied to death only because he lied, he was bullied to death because he lied as a black man in an institution largely reserves for white elites. People exaggerate on their achievements to gain higher position especially when it comes to research work.

Pretty soon you will be reading list of white professors who have done similar or even worse but never get bullied by the media.

So the issue here is not because he lied, the issue is how the alleged lies were handled.

😂 Of course it will be handled differently and that’s my point. Others can but you can’t

justwise:
They bullied him to death, it was relentless, yes he exaggerated some of his academic achievements and allegations of plagiarism, the whole campaign against him was not because of those allegations, it was because of race and Cambridge as an institution, if Jason Arday was a professor at a lower ranked university nobody would have cared to dig deeper into his records.

There are other white professors who committed similar offence but never received the level of medical scrutiny Jason Arday received.

They could not stand the fact that the youngest black man was appointed a professor at a prestigious institution like Cambridge

The Lesson here is and I always tell people is to be as truthful as you can be, cos any little margin of error is unforgivable in this clime. For example, I tell people: when it comes to your work employment history, ensure the job title on your job offer letters matches what's on your CV and even on LinkedIn. I know folks who have been booted out of work just because of this, even if their job descriptions match. These folks aren't happy you're here in the first place, so any excuse to kick you out, they will always blow it up. So sad for the fella!

who told u Frankfurt don’t send Jay Jay? 🤦‍♀️

Not like PSG!

TheSuperNerd:
A legend everywhere he went... Jay Jay Okocha. Arguably the Greatest and Most Globally recognised #10 from Africa.

These clubs don clock am say anything naija go farm better engagement 😂

Eintracht Frankfurt no Dey send Jay Jay that much until now! Social media has changed the game with megabucks. On the other hand PSG has always honoured Okocha consistently!

If this transfer ever happens e no go better lai lai for Chelsea!

You wanna kill Nigerian football?

Keep on relying on your local coaches 😂

Nigerians should come together to enthrone Olodos like Galadima that can't deliver a polling unit

ElSudani:
A fully authoritarian regime will look like North Korea where you can be sent to the Labour camp for not cheering when the leader is passing by.
Let's see what the penalty will be for some of you who remove iron reinforcement from bridges.
Let's see the penalty for irrational and abusive critics like Rufai.
Let's see even if a website like Nairaland.com can even exist in a totally " authoritarian" Nigeria.

don't mind them, they surely don't know what an authoritarian regime looks like

What most Nigerians want are dumb leaders they can control; once they can't control them, they start shouting about dictatorship and authoritarianism, bunch of lawless things

Goodenoch:
1. You are shockingly prejudiced and it's amazing with how much confidence you've said something that's so utterly false and easy to disprove.

As of this year there are a total of 338 Jamaicans in UK prisons. The population of Jamaicans in the UK is a few hundred thousand. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN04334/SN04334.pdf

2. I know a few people of Jamaican origin. Not one of them has '2-3 babymamas' or sells weed or any other drugs.

The point stands - If you, like lavida loca, know many drug dealers and baby papas of any ethnicity, it's a reflection of who you are more than that ethnicity.

Maybe at least 200 or 300 of the 338 are friends to our patrons here since they insist on the majority

The unfortunate thing is that the innocent ones are the victims, not the criminals they were after; those are still in the country, and that's normally happens anyhwere anti migrant sentiments degenerate

justwise:
He is not far from the truth

Really? ok o. I hope when this is also said of Nigerians, we won't be triggered

lavida001:
This is so true because majority of Jamaican men I know just want to sell weed + drugs and they all have 2 to 3 baby mamas.

na wa for you o! How many do you know to arrive at such a conclusion

They will soon tell us that all the trophies we ever won was either by luck, or that all our opponents were not good

All our u-17 trophies sef na luck in fact elegbete confirm say na over age players we use win all those trophies 😂 Atlanta 96 too na luck including all the wafcons won by the falcons as all their opponents were all pregnant and no fit waka! 1980 and 1994 Afcon na luck too cos in those finals our opponents get waist pain!

Papi85:
To some of una once dem mention abt Keshi’s shady businesses during his reign as super eagles coach em dey be una like say person mistakenly wan call Jesus Satan

The 2013 Afcon triumph blinded so many coupled with 2014 World Cup qualification and making it to the second round but when the luck ran out of him we all knew how it ended as Elegbete said it cost us not qualifying for back to back afcons in the history of Nigerian football

Many of you tag not qualifying for the last 2 editions of the World Cup disgraceful but turning blind eye to the team’s inability to qualify for back to back afcons (2015 and 2017 editions)

You have forgotten how Keshi was frustrated with the NFF when his backroom staff was depleted, especially after the sack of Okala, his match reader. Truth is, no coach no go ever satisfy una no matter what they achieve for the national team shebi till today Chelle's contract has not been renewed, tomorrow or in years to come we'll also begin to hear tales of how terrible Chelle is. Truth is, I have given up on the senior national team, especially with all these ex-players who are just so bitter when the national team does not revolve around them. Let's keep it up and continue to dismiss any success we record: today na luck, tomorrow our opponents were tired, another day the coach collect bribe and all sorts of nonsense.

Kog45:
Chelle must have collected money from that boy from England who was invited recently abi....Oga eagles call ups after Westerhoff left get as ebi o.

no worry baba mi; another ex-player go confirm am for us in years to come

Papi85:
I don’t know of Elegbete’s character but what he said about Keshi na true, forget abt been dead or alive

So you are aware and very sure that money was collected from Shola Ameobi?

Papi85:
do you know keshi more than Elegbete?

Of course it was obvious Keshi did a lot of shady deals in terms of players selection then

Abeg leave matter for Mathias

Ok so he can speak anyhow against someone who’s no longer alive to speak for himself, how wise!

Funny enough if folks like elegbete is given a chance to run our football he will do worse 😂
