All of you waiting to play Egypt...hope you have now learnt a lesson about life? Egypt 0 - 1 South Africa.

And some of you where also praying for SA to win because you thought they would be easier than Egypt. Let me ask you one simple question:

Why would you even want to play the team that defeated Egypt in front of their thousands of fans in their national stadium?

On your last question, Egypt, if they come out at all, will be hostile to SA for eliminating their team and support Nigeria or any other team against SA. That's how fans react.

Chukwueze came in and the entire ball game got lit.

But still the baba go dey chop bench. I no dey understand these coaches at all

I don't understand it myself. We were at a viewing centre and some guy was saying there was no one left on Nigerian bench and no sooner had I said chukwueze than the mercurial guy was introduced. The game changed completely. Omo, see as as guys dey buy beer for me till I had to stylishly disappear. I went back for my car much later. Rohr should articulate games and make changes in good time.

This mad son of their so called biafra won't stop foolinq himself....if he qet mind well well,he should come to aso rock,buhari want to tell him somethinq..

Buhari should go and meet him if he is man with balls

Horlartunes:
The end

It is not the end. He hasn't even been tried yet. This is as yet the regular preliminary objections and who says they cannot file another objection until there is nothing else left to object to before the matter starts fully on its merits. I love criminal law so much. Let justice be served in the end though.

North will never accept this as this will amount more states in the south. The governor of these states will be southerners as well.

Better to not even suggest we could give out an inch of land to herdsmen. They are roaming and committing havoc, what would then happen if they are stationed on a location. You will have a more regular forays and after a while their military base in the name if Ruga will grow strong enough such that they can match you force yo force..

My view is that it should be a No-No.

TGM2015:
You don't want them to roam around, you don't want them to stay in a place and you want to be enjoying Fulani Cow meat.
I think something is wrong somewhere.

We are fine with Titus fish or panla. I hope you know the fulani does not eat cow meat. They should rear and keep their meat, we will eat our fish down here

chrisxxx:
I hate it when people do not apply diplomacy to requests and things.
Simply tell Buhari that any place he wants the Ruga down South should be made a state of its own. For instance if it is to be sited in Owerri, that means carving out Owerri to become Owerri State with its inhabitants.
With this, you'll see Buhari running away. You dont need to be blunt to him and his likes.

Assume you propose this and he accepts, all you have done is to allow the building and development of a military base called Ruga and open yourself to a quick running over at the H-hour in the eastern heartland. Apply wisdom

HeyCorleone:
Lol.

And you want to have daughters?

So if your daughter tells you the pastor has raped her, you won't believe?

See why atheists hate Christians? Some of you are a disgrace. Why can't you reason like someone God breathed life in? Why can't you use your commonsense?

Bros, he can't use what he doesn't have. Blame him not.

lionD:
Man of God, I've prayed for you. It is well with you even in the presence of these trials. The Lord will vindicate you and silence your accusers. You shall not be put to shame or humiliated, because of the mercy of God. Do not be discouraged, it is well with you sir.

The prayers of the wicked is something detestable in the sight of the Lord. As for the COZA pastor, he will only be free from blame if his hands are clean, else, nemesis will still deal him a raw hand.

falcon01:
I guess its the way I Replied you. Sorry!

It's fine. I am sorry if my last response was abusive. Cheers.

falcon01:
you just couldn't accept the fact that you were Ignorant.

Lol. If you weren't either bored or dumb you would have noticed that I did not join issues with the first guy that said it was a lake. We did not even argue. Couldn't you just take your frustration elsewhere? I did not know it was a lake. He pointed it out. Do you have to come into my space out of your boredom? Imp

falcon01:
its a lake.. I know someone said that but I gotta say it again it's a f*cking lake it moves only withing its designated Position. p.p.s Ponds are smaller

Ok. So it's a lake and I have heard. I thought you were going to add to this body of knowledge when you mentioned me on this. Guy, pls go and get busy.

Well, fine....until the floods come ...

The Op is a dead ant, they have carried his body to the colony and the workers have thrown him out. Sad

OGHENAOGIE:
you saw how Tanzania struggled with Senegal..
can Madagascar win Afcon??
minnows exist when the big boys slack and refused to play

At the world stage in the world cup, 32 countries qualify, each is supposedly a potential winner but at least 4 are tipped to be possible contenders to the mundial cup. Would you call the rest minnows?

Did you watch the last world cup finals? Would you have imagined that the two countries will play in the finals, one of the contenders was not originally a very strong favourite from our group as Argentina and Nigeria were partially touted

A team that qualifies to play at the finals of any competition has thrown away the toga of being a minnow. Underate them at your own risk

OGHENAOGIE:
these big teams are not playing intelligent football simple...a Europe's team will thrashed the burundi of this world... if rohr started ighalo and musa play Mikel deep...it would have been different....incase you want to know we still have minnows in African football...

Oga, i just noticed you are a malabite. I am one too, make we reason this matter

shevchenko:
Actually the first goal was not offside
The Germans deliberately obstructed the keeper

I hate the fact that Cameron did not protest and leave the match today
It would have sent a strong signal to FIFA

Can't Africa even boycott the world cup and let the rest of the world play against themselves. In years to come, they will know it's not a complete world cup without Africa

OGHENAOGIE:
these big teams are not playing intelligent football simple...a Europe's team will thrashed the burundi of this world... if rohr started ighalo and musa play Mikel deep...it would have been different....incase you want to know we still have minnows in African football...

We are talking about african football not euro or world cup.

Please where are the minnows? None of them qualified for this competition, the likes of Seychelles for instance

likelove8899:
that they struggle to beat Burundi just a goal...?

Guinea struggled hard to not lose. The same way famed Egypt struggled to run away with a slim lead. Burundi qualified on merits and drew Mali home and away.

I don't need to say more.

Going by recent developments at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), the manpower requirements needed for the efficient management of the all important agency is not only unmet, but facing gross violations.

There were reports of deaths of staff of the federal agency occasioned by what was seen as the refusal of the management to address welfare challenges of members of staff across the country leading to the demise of six staff members.

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) raised the alarm in a letter addressed to NIMC Management led by the Director-General, Engineer Aliyu Aziz Abubakar, saying, members of of staff were dying over manageable ailments, but poor conditions of service had compounded their health conditions, leading to untimely death.

But the management of the agency had in response to the position of the ASCSN allegedly doled out harsh, punitive measures to the Public Relations Officer, of the agency, Mr Loveday Chika, over his admittance during a media interview that the welfare situation in the organisation and death of six members of staff were indeed true.

The NIMC spokesman was instantly redeployed to Abia State.

Affected members of staff had complained loudly over their conditions of service to the point of begging for survival as well as office equipment including toners, copiers and other office stationery thus earning them the sobriquet “corporate beggars”.

On the alleged instruction of the DG, some operatives of Department of State Security (DSS) were detailed to arrest the Head, Corporate Communications Unit, Mr Loveday Chika and the Chairman of the ASCSN NIMC Chapter, Lucky Asekokha.

The duo were said to have escaped arrest due to timely information and assistance of colleagues who had alerted them of the presence of DSS operatives at headquarters of the organisation in Zone 5, Wuse, Abuja.

Issues in Contention

In a letter to NIMC Management entitled “Perceived refusal to address staff welfare in the commision”, ASCSN said it noted with dismay the continuous death of staff members over manageable ailments but poor welfare will not encourage them to seek medication in good time”.

In the letter jointly signed by Chairman ASCSN NIMC Unit, Comrade Lucky Adekokhai and its Secretary, Comrade Odia Victor, the unionists named the late staff of the organisation to include Ogbogu Steve from the head office, Rufus Ajoyemi Oluwole from Ondo State office, Ekenze Udeoji of Anambra State office, Adamu Solami from Kano State and Joshua Eton Jema from Adamawa State and Mamuda Aliyu, a driver from Sokoto State.

In another statement, Asekokha said the condition of service of the staff of the National Identity Database (NIDB) charged with housing the private data of all Nigerians and legal residents depicted the typical Nigerian corporate “beggars”.

“NIMC staff are perfect examples of corporate ‘beggars’ who in order to populate the database have to beg members of the public generally and public-spirited individuals for fuel, data, toner, mouse, keyboards, etc. as if these items are not yearly budgeted by the Commission,” he said, while attributing it to the DG’s “zero staff welfare policies”.

Asekokha said since Aziz assumed office as NIMC DG, staff salaries were strangely reduced.

“The salary has been going unexplainably anticlockwise, even after promotion, most staff are earning less than they were earning before the promotion, which is practically demotion.”

Citing remuneration of staff, he said a level 8 staff of the organisation earned N84,000 in 2015 after which it faced a steady decrease and descent.

“It reduced to N75,000 in 2016; N73,000 in 2017; N71,000 in 2018 then it became N48,000 in 2019 while their staff appointment letters read N54,000 when divided by 12 months”.

“Since September 2018, after joining IPPIS till date, NIMC staff salaries have been without any allowances attached, even the Salah and Easter Bonuses enjoyed by most MDAs under the SGF did not get to the staff.

The Union maintained that efforts to address the situation hit the rocks severally as management churned out failed promises.

“If the Federal Government does not intervene to address the issues of welfare in NIMC, Nigerian privacy data in the NIDB is in a serious threat of compromise and misuse,” Asekokha said.

He said several letters written over the non-inclusion of the salaries in the 2019 budget and the death of members of staff were not attended to.

“NIMC Nigeria’s key foundational identification systems suffer from low coverage, staff welfare crises induced by the DG who cares more of the enrollment figures into the NIDB without funding than for the staff who are working hard to populate the database and the security of such data.”

According to Asekokha, NIMC is equivalent to United States’ Social Security Number (SSN), UK’s National Insurance Number (NINO), France’s INSEE Code and Indian UIDAI, among others.

Alleged Mgt Onslaught against Staffers

If the various security alerts issued on social media by staff of the organisation to colleagues is anything to go by, there are indications that the management of NIMC may have launched an onslaught against the unionists.

One of the alerts alleged that “Management have started their onslaught already, we just got a report that the Head, Corporate Communication Unit, Mr. Loveday Chika has been removed and redeployed to Abia State simply because he had no comment during a media interview.”

According to another alert “he is suspected to be sympathetic to the Union and he has to be removed. He is the only management staff that has been saying the truth in all the recent union/mgt meetings.

“Before now, he was closely monitored and practically ordered to stop updating staff members on telegram. The wickedness in NIMC is so ripe that our oppressors are prepared to go to any length to keep us chained. We will also go extra length to have ourselves unchained.”

It further disclosed that “management have also started hitting on our chairman and it’s no longer funny. Any moment from now, you may all be called out. We reject victimisation in its entirety and no amount of threat or punishment can deter us. We sympathise with the very good Mr Loveday Chika. God will vindicate him.”

Efforts to reach the management proved as calls and messages put across to Aziz, the DG, were not responded to.

Too long. I think I understand the gist of the thesis

Astonmartins:
Your own na cow horn e carry, since na 2 horns.

I swear, you sabi.

Your own na cow or unicorn? Abi you no pass with HoRns

My own degree carry two horns anything wey una like make una dey define. No be yam at all ooo. E no easy

blowjohn:
Oga go check BBC sports.
When the second penalty was taken, the French players, about 3 of them had encroached into the box 18 .
But the VAR didn't pick that up.

Why are you wasting time with a chaff and an oaf of a creation. Let him live with his warped analysis

nepapole:
Which biased? That thing was a clear yellow card offence and also the keeper goofed.. So there was no bias. Nigeria doesnt even deseeve to qualify.

You are an aspiring data analyst abi, at this rate pray you qualify as one. Your analytical skills are very questionable. Argue with your keyboard please.

merits:

You freakin need a female live-in friend. And you are a guy bruv.

davillian:
They will just seat down and be defending like Chelsea
They won't go and score goal.
Every time Boko Haram on the attacking side our soldiers own is to defend.
Even the defend they can't defend BH will always over power them with superior gun power.

That's what happens when people join the army because there is no other job for them.

So so true. very apt.
