They are sore losers.

You've not, you've lost.

WickedAfonja:
This is a bloody lie
Look at the composition of the players and understand what's happening here.

The money is from Tinubu but he selected only Yoruba boys plus the 2 captains Ekong & Iwobi to give it legitimacy. Imagine Leon Balogun too?

This move is intended to divide the team and bring in his signatory tribalism that he used to destroy Nigeria.


Please tell me why Osimhen or Boniface will refuse to donate if his team mates or captain called him for something like this. Lookman may not even be aware of this donation till tomorrow.

Super Eagles should be careful.

How much is 1m? That's barely $700 that you're making noise about. Some of these guys make $100,000 a week or $600 per hour.

Why would Tinubu want to be engaged in such pettiness. He has already given them $100,000 each, or N152m. Why would he now go behind their backs and give only Yoruba players 1m?

It was Uzodinma that invited only Igbo female players. You kept silent. I think that's the issue here.

All the Falcon players are getting 1m each, and it isn't based on tribe.

Your tribalustic pettiness is out of this world.

No be this man start Boko Haram crisis?

Peter Obi got lots of votes from all tribes, including Yorubas in Lagos.

For many, vote Obi for president, and Sanwo-Olu for governor.

That's how it played out.

You wan burst my belle with laughter. This life

cr7lomo:
10yrs from now _, dem go carry placard de protest for the unfilled promise of 100k... Next government go talk say no be dem promise dem money

I doubt Tinubu is the type that won't fulfil such. He is a good manager.

kedeojo:
You are not sensible cos you should know CNG is far cheaper and since he want to distribute free, he won't be adding the suppose extra cost to his products. the cabals has destroyed the economy for long because of greed. If they want to remain in business, they should team up to set up a refinery. They benefited so much by cheating the country for many years.

I never said what he did was wrong. I just said it is ironic.

Did Shell not engage in green energy, one of the world's largest producers of crude oil?

Businessmen arent into business because they like you. It is to make money. The oil cabals did not destroy the economy. The fuel subsidy did.

Do you think Dangote is selling his petrol cheaply for the benefit of Nigerians? Without competititon, you'd be paying 1,100-1,200 per litre. They are the ones keeping the price below N1,000.

Dangote no dey carry last. He is determined to deal with the competition.

It is ironic that an oil refinery would be dependent on CNG, rather than one of its own products for its choice for fuel loaded tankers.

New states are the last thing the country needs.

Most of those states would be impoverished from the beginning.

Some men feel in charge when their wives depend on them. It makes them feel useful and worthy.

Just the same way many wives monopolize the kitchen. The3y feel that's wht they bring to the table.

However, I don't think most men who marry poor women have ever really contemplated about taking care of the burden of his inlaws. He mind is on his wife.

I wonder what her offence was.

She seems quite frightened.

seborrhic:
Multibillion dollar contract and it's being signed in room and parlor office with just a few attendees.
The contract maybe legit,but claiming it's worth multi billion dollars is just hard to believe from what I am seeing here.
Nigerian outfits are known for exaggerating figures and data

Jealousy fit kill some people. That's a big contract.

Chieftroller:
Nothing tangible will come out of these news. I just say make I post comment because of FTC. Nothing special about it hiss

He has signed the contracts. They were reporting tangible news. Billion dollar contracts.

AMINDA:
Disinformation. The unethical habit of lifting the opinions of supporters of a candidate from twitter and attributing them to the candidate needs to stop. There are many Yoruba Conservatives on Twitter advocating for Igbos to be banned from voting in the Southwest, no one calls them Tinubu's media aides.

Tinubu exploited religion and ran on muslim-muslim ticket in 2023. He wouldn't have done so if religious sentiment is not a factor in winning elections.

Don't mind people.

If Tinubu had chosen a Christian as a running mate, Atiku would have become president.

trillville:
Great explanation.
However, Obasanjo managed Nigeria’s economy in a very simple way. The naira went from about 150 to a dollar in 2003, to 116 to a dollar in 2008 (Yaradua’s tenure). He gradually increased petrol prices to 75 naira removing subsidies as the international price of crude oil increased and saving extra revenues in the excess crude account.
The collapse of the naira and Nigeria’s economy is directly attributable to destruction of property economic management by the GEJ administration.

I wonder why this is so difficult for people to realize. Even now, the naira still remains under threat. So far Nigeria doesn’t re-establish an ECA.

OBJ's management of the economy was admirable I must admit. Though GEJ left a lot to be desired, Buhari's deserved the bulk of the condemnation.

GEJ's primary crime was that he was not thrifty, and permitted endemic corruption, and was weak. However, he maintained the flexible, and market determined exchange rate policy he inherited.

Buhari on the other hand did away with it when he came into office in 2015. This promptly led to severe forex scarcity, and a severe recession, which only ended in 2017. The scourge of this rigid exchange plagued the economy throughout Buhari's 8 infamous years.

Does the country need an ECA? No, it does not. Many well run countries don't have a sovereign fund of any kind.

There are several ways to measure progress. In 2015, 26% of revenue was devoted to debt servicing. By 2023, it was 97%. It is now half that. If things continue this way, it could be 20% in 4 years time.

20% is the recommended maximum by the World Bank.

In addition, the country is finally moving away from crude oil for the bulk of its foreign exchange earnings and federal government revenue. This has been a nightmare for the economy.

It meant that any time the price of crude oil fell, the Naira would crash, and government revenue would shrink. Oil accounted for over 70% of forex inflows and government revenue. With an increase in non-oil revenue by about 3% of GDP, this has reduced crude oil's share of revenue.

In addition, the weak Naira has discouraged importation and non-oil exports are rising.

For instance, read the report below:

The issue I have with this is the selective amnesia by this guy . Goodluck wanted to remove subsidy over 10 years ago , guess one of the people who stopped him ? TINUBU . Who helped the calamity , baboon blooded general grab power ? Tinubu . Who sat quietly watching Buhari fail woefully because he was waiting for his turn as Emilokan ? Tinubu .
Suddenly he is next best thing after fried rice . He is doing all the things he prevented Jonathan from doing and quietly watched Buhari destroy . So technically Tinubu allowed Nigeria get worse for 10 years in order to become president then claim to be a genius in fixing it ? No way .

Tinubu did play dirty no doubt.

If Jonathan failed to remove the subsidy, blame Jonathan and not Tinubu. Tinubu too faced strong opposition in removing the subsidy but finally had his way.

If that was the only successful policy Jonathan got through, it would have been a momentous accomplishment.

opes:
Because we are still using less than 50% of our revenue to service debt. We ain't still off the hook of bad economy the present government inherited. Before now, large percentage of our budget is funded with loan.

In 2015, 26% of revenue was going towards debt servicing. By 2023, under Buhari's disastrious policies, it hit 97%.

It shouldn't be more than 20%. In 4 years time, if it should it that figure if this current momentum is maintained.

A new president may derail things for selfish reasons.

People should just exercise caution when buying suya around that area.

Ask repeatedly if the suya is snake meat. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Sabadon:
honestly speaking SA has the infrastructure to win this bid

Do they now have 24/7 electricity? I learnt its been resolved,

Age falsificiation has probably dogged almost all his years playing overseas.

It is a recurring decimal. Even the Oyinbos have always had their doubts.

Anything to tear Tinubu down. A lot of times, this so called marginalization is usually down to appointments and not to development strides.

Politics is so full of hypocrisy and lies.

jikins:
Isn't it better you hear her point of view before dismissing it. She has a series becoming brigitte. Watch it and then make up your mind.

Here what point of view first for what?

First, what she's doing is wrong. Even if she was born a man, why the obsession? What is her goal? This can ruin people.

Now,if I told you I used the Internet in 1985 to pass my WAEC, would you believe me? No. Because the technology did not exist then. This is same problem.

Briggite Macron was born in 1953. The first reassignment surgery was carried out in 1972. It only started becoming popular in the last two decades. By then, she would have been in her 40s and 50s.

Transwomen can not have children. She has two biological kids.

Commentor:
Lies.

It was based on the innate racism of the average Republican.

This rumour was from Obama's first term.

You might be right. No big deal.

Those were my assumptions.

ScamDemicEra:
..... never ever take the MSM/Government narrative as truth without verification -that stuff can kill you especially when it's comes to your health !!

In fact you're much safer to assume every MSM/Government narrative is a lie until you can proven otherwise, and every conspiracy theory is true until proven false !

It's 2025, conspiracy theories of few years ago are now conspiracy facts -Wake up bro !!!

Which conspiracy theories of a few years ago are now facts?

Trump supporters are fond of conspiracy theories as they don't like the truth.

Example: Trump would rather eat shit than accept he lost the 2020 presidential elections.

That's just delusional.

[quote author=HenryWilliams post=136216165][/quote]A transwoman can't have biological children, and she has two. Transmen can have children.

The trans slander on Michelle Obama is down to her poking jest at Donald Trump. She and her husband are fond of putting Trump down, and that's how his supporters are punishing the duo for insulting their idol.

Transwomen can never have children. NEVER! The transitioning isn't that advanced yet.

ScamDemicEra:
.... big mistake for the macrons to waka this road !!!

Truth na absolute defense in defamation, would Brigitte subject herself to court ordered DNA test ??

Stop endorsing hubris. Macron's wife has two biological kids.

Saying she was born a man is stupid as she is quite old. If she transitioned, she would have transitioned probably in the last two or three decades. We are talking about a 72 year old woman. She has her age to defend her. The first transition surgery ever carried out was in 1972. The operation only started becoming popular in the 2000s.

Caitlyn Jenner is 75 years old. Everyone knows about when she transistioned. It made headline news. Most people of that era were in their 50s when the operation started becoming more common place, or went under the knife..

This Candace Owen no get sense.

How can one consider Macron's wife a transgender? It is just nonsense.

Singing 2baba's "He be like say they want to tell us another story again o".

Someone should remind me please. Is that not the same thing Buhari said? That they need to remove fuel subsidy this and that. Isnt it? And after they removed it "Because Buhari also claimed it has been removed" that we have turned the curve yada yada yada.

No be so?

Eyin oniyeye

Tueh

Did Buhari really end then fuel subsidy?

This is not an emotional question but a serious one.

The price of petrol is not fixed nationally. It is fixed on the international market. For instance, the price of crude oil is based on dollars per barrel. Since the NSecondly, the price of petrol is never fixed. It can go up and down.

First, let's assumer the price of petrol has been $1 per litre for the past 10 years.

In 2015 may, the exchange rate was $1-N199. Let us assume the government fixes the price of petrol that year at N200/litre. The government announces that the subsidy is gone. That is true because $1 is N199 while petrol is N200/litre.

Today, that same $1 is N1,500. If the price of petrol is still fixed at N200/litre, that means the subsidy has returned. The government will be subsidizing it by N1,300 per litre.

Then the price of petrol is never stable. Today, is may be $1 per litre, tomorrow 50 cents, next month, $2 per litre.

For instance, on 1st January 2012, GEJ increased the price of petrol to 147/litre. The government said that was the price petrol must cost for there to be no subsidy. Then, the price of crude oil was about $110/barrel. Due to protest, the government was forced to backtrack and reduce the price to N97/litre.

By 2015, the price of crude oil had dropped to $50/barrel. The government reduced the price to N87 per litre. At that price, there was no subsidy. Why? Because the price of crude oil had dropped by 50%.

So, the only way you can end petrol subsidy in Nigeria because the exchange rate is never stable, and also because the price of crude oil keeps changing, is for the government to stop fixing the price, and let it rise and fall. That is the only way you can end the subsidy and that is what Tinubu did. As you can see that the price of petrol keeps going up and down. It is never stable.

Buhari completely messed up the economy.

The twin pillars of his economic policies were the rigid exchange rate, and the burdensome fuel subsidy. The first policy killed the economy. The second indebted it.

It was complete utter nonsense.

People think those abroad dey pick money for tree. E no easy.

To pay rent no easy. That thing dey chop money.

Anything someone gives you in life, appreciate it. See it as something you're not entitled to. It open doors to more gifts, but most importantly, you will spend the money wisely. You will also not be waiting for bread from person hand to become successful.

Many of them go financially bankrupt after soccer as they don't know how to manage their money.

They have been used to living large and all of a sudden, they retire at a rather young age, and money isn't flowing in at the large rate it was previously. What would be bringing in £200,000 a week after retiring? Nothing.

I doubt their income after football will be more than £300,000 a year. Most of it will from residual income from investments they made in their active days. Only a job as a coach, manager, talent scout and so on can bring in some very impressive income.

They can, however, now engage in some shoutouts or product promotion using Cameo.com.

She looks AI.

I know she's real though.

Gboss247:
When you are done deceiving yourself.
Another billion dollar loan have been approved by senate to defend naira (subsidize), subsidize substandard expensive petrol from Europe, provide liquidity for importation and loot the rest.

Please go through the thread below. It breaks down how most of the money would be spent.

Nowehere does it mention a Naira subsidy, nor a petrol subsidy. You and fallacies can not be divorced.
