happy birthday to one of the best goal scorer in our generation, its painful to accept dt the clock is ticking n we wont get to see him in few years time but the world wont forget the fun cr7 n messi brought to football for a very long time, they both entertained us with so many fantastic nights of football...
seems feb 5h is a special day in football bcoz its also neyma birthday, they should enjoy n have fun..

Even Carlos Tevez (of Man U then) birthday is 5th February

Still don't know why some men find faults with this man, his knowledge, sincere transparency and his sayings generally. He is not in the same class with an average Nigerian politician

Nigeria is too primitive to have state police.

If the service chiefs heading the Police, the armed forces, the Navy...could become political tools in the hands of the GCFR, so why won't the governors of each state use the police head of their state to become political police forces, using them to harass oppositions and gag dissenting voices or opinions?

Nigeria has not started, may be until when each person in political offices, in uniform and government parastatals and even the citizens realise that loyalty first is to the constitution and not some rulers.

Imagine Wike controlling his state police or Sanwo who called the army to the toll gate scene but denied so, having his own state police under his control or the northern governors with Sharia controlling their own police?

naijapips04:
Duncan mighty is bigger than Timaya. Port Harcourt first son. His only downfall was that he didn't go mainstream by aligning with the Lagos crowd, unlike Timaya. When Duncan mighty dey rain for Ptown, who be Timaya??

True that...about not going mainstream with Lagos

Maxcollins042:
That's terribly childish I must say

Too childish.

Your Excellency SAN,

When will those ones perpetrating evil be dealt with? And who will serve justice?

Two wrongs don't make a right, yeah. What of the first wrong perpetually not corrected?

kambili999:
Still don't understand how Nigerian politicians think

You are donating money meant for public use

Why didn't he donate his personal money?

Nigerian politicians are just wicked.

Thank you for this. Welcome to a country where state money is treated like personal money. Accountability to the winds.

It's expected. How could you deactivate 'permanently' the account of the leader of the free world, that was a bit if high handyness on the part of the Twitter boss.
Despite Trump's irrational tweets, they shouldn't have done it. That means invariably the Twitter boss gets to cherry pick who to ban and who not to ban. I think these guys are becoming overlords. Time to clip their wings

It could be coincidental. Shares could crash for any reason.
Why didn't Facebook shares didn't reportedly crash, so why Twitter alone?

These other platforms banned him as well: Instagram, Snapchat, Shopify, TikTok, Google, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube and more, while that of Twitter seems loud, it can't really be 100% ascertained that shares crashed solely because of that.
While banning him totally may be harsh, but what of the unbecoming things emanating from the office of someone regarded as 'world president', that many of his party's senator had to strongly condemn?

BigSarah:
All he said is the truth.
I only talk about politics on nairaland. Since February 2020 I haven't discussed politics face-to-face with anyone, because you must be made to pick a side. Right now it's practically impossible to honestly comment on politics without being grouped as this or that. Buhari and osibanjo have ruined A lot.

I like your statements.

Same way it's strange that names of high profiled individuals linked with Boko haram doesn't lead to probes or more investigation.

Country built on deception cannot overcome or cure its ills.

How do you describe a failed country?

Some people would say agenda must agend

Indeed.

Stage-managed hoax.

This bridge might need some 'deliverance'.

But frankly speaking, we don't learn nor take cue from past happenings.
To have studied or reasoned out why always this bridge would have meant something from a serious government, be it from a technical standpoint or something else. But no, this is Nigeria.

You mean a dictatorial President can't be summoned by the other arms of the government..

They are coming little by little.

McTominay:
Action films plenty
Missing in action... Chuck Norris
Hard to kill... Steven Seagal
Soldier Boys... Michael Dudikkof

Hmmmm
You are evoking some memories here.
Soldier Boys was a major action movie.

Karlovich:
Our never smiling darling daddy, useless in 1980 and more useless now. Wicked incompetent vegetable dullard, see the amount of wickedness displayed on his face even in the picture with his family, spits.

You are bahd!!!
This made me laugh hard.

Or else?

Like Peak milk, 'it' is in them.

2020 though...
Bode Akindele, a business giant from Ibadan, also left the scene this year

Pierocash:
Which family will have pastor Paul Enenche and won't be blessed. What a blessed family.

I always suspect that major Gen Enenche is related to Paul Enenche

Yeah, Major General is the older brother

It is working.
The attention he needs is hitting it.

He is already thinking of the next weirdest stunts to do.

Nothing succeeds like success, nothing makes headlines like controversies and oddity.
It is an odd world out there.

Government by the shameless for the shameless that hold on to them sheepishly.

A single life getting lost in the country where things work mean a lot to them, but here, some debate has to occur as to may be the lives lost are more or less, to prove the level of foolishness at work here.

peacekante:
Oga quiet abeg. Maradona Argentina team was an average team compare to Messi Argentina. Maradona was the driving force. How can you ever compare Diego to Messi self. Maradona has 3 Copa America and 2 confederation cups compare to Messi with nothing for his counttry.

No one alive apart from possibly pele can be loved like Diego. Stop calling Messi because him never reach that level. He will not even reach self.

Diego is a god in Argentina. I would have flooded here with video of people crying all over Argentina. Diego is the institution while Messi is the student

You are very very right.

Maradona is more adored than Messi.
Things that elevated him beyond human status are the achievements (for his Country for example), skills, and time/period. Time helped him because football has not become as this during their time, and because he was exceptionally good compared to the people of his time, he dwarfed all of them, unlike now that stars are very very many. Pele's generation was like 20 years before him, and till that time, the only person comparable to him was Pele himself. So their types were not many. Diego particularly led average teams to trophies. He was exceptional...despite his shortcomings, the glory still speaks!

Imagine if Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, etc didn't exist during this era, all the glory would have been for Messi alone.

This is what is called glory, he had flaws, yet he his star overshadowed his weaknesses

blacknp:
Whilst you stew in your poverty? I’d always choose to be at the summit with them, rather than in the pit with your lonesome, go & get a life.

If you desire to belong to their class, it shows you are presently in an abysmally hopeless pit and suffering from extreme deprivations. You don't need to drop that low if you get enough skills and know sound principles.

No normal thinking human will want to belong to a class that dissociates itself from excellence, which uses every available opportunity to use lies to cover lies and frowns at anything decency, but just because you are hanging to life with a tired thread. That's what hunger has done to you. That's how lack has rewired your sick mental health.
You have my worthy wishes, you can actually live if you so wish.

One reward for being part of this government is losing sense and good reasoning.

ATEAMS:
I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances, be more active, show up more often.

True, very true

Baawaa:
And you still alive

Quite possible. It depends on how either vital or not the place the bullet is lodged.
And beside it is verifiable. He couldn't have lied about it. X-ray should have proved him wrong if not

Meaningless panel at best.

We already have seen what's playing out in Lagos.

Either now or later, all of you people acting principalities in high places obstructing justice and dealing evils to the onward movement of Nigeria will get served by your own dose of medicine, one at a time.

If J. F. Kennedy was mentioned as a one-term President because of assassination in his 3rd year, why was the great Abe Lincoln not mentioned too. He had same experience like President John Kennedy.

Not bad write up though.
