We can't , even if we removed corruption.

For example, if we want enough athletes to qualify for Olympics and world championships, they have to take part in enough events in Europe and the US, and train to get times that would qualify them. That means more money than our sports people canafford now.

And we have to have good facilites. That one is another high cost of money.

In the USA, they have the kind of facilites at even high school level that we don't. Better diet, and good competition at all levels. That's how you get your Lyles, and your Colemans. Europe has a good club athletics scene, which is how you get many of their good athletes.

Nigeria does not have the above.

(Don't mention Kenya and Ethiopia. Average athlete there that is running long distances at high altitude from childhood, survivin on lower oxygen...and then he comes to sea level and runs against people that have never trained at high altitude. Yeah, they go win. And their fedrerations are as corrupt as Nigeria's own).

It's more than fighing corruption, you got to have good schools sports, good training facilites, good NUGA competitons at par with NCAA div 1 in the USA, and enough funding for trips, healthcare, and training, and high quality training facilites. You got the money.?

All what you mentioned are necessary but not compulsory in sport I remember.... look at our football history for instance how many of the local player go through a good fundamental of football ... it all go down to wills I remember when I was in secondary school, I do represent my school in Tracks and lane with no shoes on I will run on any terrain .... me and my squared in Ogun State then will disgrace any well dressed team because will know that only thing we can use to prove a point is our speed .... along the line we are picked for Sport festival, Ogun state ministry of sport camp us for like 3 weeks at the end just because we don't have money to bribe them for final name picking they result in picking the worst team for the event

If the corruption is not rooted out all what you mentioned will not come alife

Meektunz:
God punish her.... So after Nigeria exposed you to success then you dump Nigeria. You think God is a fool?

Is like you are high on codin abi, mention anywhere Nigeria exposed her to success for every heat she participated on she came first but because she's not the favorite of the official they dump her file not once, not twice and you want her to die in silent in the name of serving her country ..... you better silent if you don't know what to say ....

ohigus:
How do u expect the best in them or how can they fight corruption. No encouragement at all but all Nigerians keep blaming them without knowing the problem behind a lot of unprofessionalism in NPF

Nigerian will continue to blame them because they only listen to words of few Nigerian who call themselves politicians and neglect or turn down any advice from the people... you quickly forget the main purpose of end Sars... whom did they use to scatter everyone no be them Something i fill no pity for anyone of them because give them more money now they will turn your bingo

JagabanBorgu:
The issue of Benue State is actually deeper than ur Obi vs Tinubu politics, this is deeper for the people of Benue State.
I have always said this since my first experience of fuIani tèrr0rism in Benue, it all boils down to the Benue leaders, they don't do anything about anything.

I was talking to one from Igede tribe from the same state, he said there is no love in the state and any tribe is willing to sell any other tribe for even a bowl of kunu ..... I now say something to him like , just because I have issue with your tribe and you sell my entire tribe to outsider to be Wipeout, don't you think that after my own ... your tribe will be next? He's unable to say anything...... since we gain independent there has been different fight in Benue but no President or Military head of state that has visit Benue for anything.... which means if they like let them kill themselves..... Tinubu break that even though I never like him ... what other president do is to send ammunition to them ..... there is too much crack in Benue along the ethnic line ... they are not seeing themselves as one .... and of such thing keep going on outsider will be having power over any tribe from that state

yemmit90:
It is normal for women not to go below their standard, it is never their fault but the way nature made it to be.

Women regarded men as head and superior beings that ought to protect them.

The same women you mentioned here want the same equality to men

McLizbae:
I don't think that is abnormal or the lady is abnormal. As a man, one of the fine ways to provide a necessary comfort to your lady is to drive her in your car if you have one. But siting beside her when she drives her own car is somehow not dignifying.

I think it's okay for a woman to potentially dignity her future man by setting standards, and setting them at her level or above hers.

But if man set the same standard , that he's not going to date a broke ladies .... hope you know what that implies because we always support one side of issue because it suit our narrative

maidstone:

If the olden days whey be say mud from base to the top no dey soak so how come mine.... no dey build on paper build it first.... you just want to argue you no dey read no be everyone have land on water or erosion or damp area some have it in a more dry land .... how many house for Northern part of Nigeria have a German floor ?? Spend as you like if you wan build your own My dad building no Get German floor and this is it 35 years still standing ..... naa inside German floor you wan sleep ....
The building in question is not different from 2 shop been erected beside a road .... so tell me how much will that one German floor will cost

maidstone:
Dey lie oo

Or you are one of those who don't do German floor lol

Let me ask you, how much did you spend on the granite you used for the foundation?

No be every building require German floor ... it the land that will dictate such for you ... just because everyone are into it never make it compulsory .... just like I say the type of land you have will determine is German floor is needed or not

I make use of local stone dust .... not granite because we have it much and cheap in that area

3 tone of it is around 40k and we make use 5 tone

iswallker:
Cost of workmanship for block moulding pls...do they charge per bag?

I am trying to see if I can mould blocks rather than buy for an ongoing project...

Block is N600-N700 for 9" in my area.

The different is not that much now because from my area in ogun state to mold 9 inches you will get 30 per bag of cement, cement is N10200 here and 3 ton of sand is around 30k .....

BodyCount:
Few millions of naira 2-3 in this economy
The foundation alone will even cost up to 500k.

Foundation will not get to that ... I spend 510k on my 3 bedroom Foundation now even if you factor in location since land is out of budget with 300k Foundation will be out it just a room and parlor

Shattuck:
what I am saying is this, you can't say the yoruba people are more accommodating, maybe my comparing Benin to the entire south west is the reason you misunderstood my argument, now in Benin for example I know lots of people from akwa ibom , there are urhobo, itsekhiri folks from rivers, northerners even from niger and then you have the igbos and the yoruba, now you can't mention any state in Southwest aside Lagos who has more percentage of it's population, who aren't from the state more than Edo state, you can't use the region argument either by claiming urhobo and akwa ibom are south- south so their population in Edo does not count as foreigners, because when we talk about accommodating people in Nigeria the criteria is usually ethnic rather than regional or geo- political, how can you talk about yoruba being more accommodating either when every now and then there is always issues between you and other ethnic groups, either you are telling them not to vote in your land, or you are angry when a teenage boy is a beneficiary or something as little as a jamb form being purchase, or when a land is being bought or resident who aren't yoruba just complain about basic civil issues, ask yourself how often do you hear this news from other non southwest states. Edo had an election recently I came across a guy who is an APC supporter of okphebolo, most folks in that gathering were supporters of Asue ighodalo, and this APC supporter was from Delta yet no body told him to go back to his state to vote for his choice. Everyone understood that is part of the Democratic process.

Brother from your statement here , you are already taking side of being an APC member or not ... we are all Nigeria before any Polical party is form but we allow emotion to rule over us .... we are whom we are irrespective of our advisory.... I'm not talking from political view because I will not vote anyone until I see that we are all in the same point of view in Developing the country

Shattuck:
you guys keep telling this lie of how our are the most accommodating, aside Lagos, we all know why Lagos is kept aside, tell me how ekiti, ondo, ogun, and osun, is more accommodating than Edo state or Rivers? How is Lagos even more accommodating in the first place, I am from Benin I know growing up even in secondary school we have neighbours and friends from different backgrounds who aren't Edo, so how is the south west more accommodating in Nigeria, the way out guys always flatter yourselves.

Every region have more than one state in them but lie to yourself , cos I never care you know the truth is not about people are saying this or that , I'm not from Lagos, I'm a local Ijebu guy if I can see the numbers of ethnic group around the town I live in now talk more of other state in southwest, now read your statement again now slowly, you said you are from Benin ... Bening is just a state and it will be liking to Osun State in term of landmass and population... comparing Benin to southwest let remove Lagos from the list haba you no try for a seconds

YemyTemmy:
Olodo, did you bother to compare the overall population of southwest and southeast, then judge the percentage based on population

There is no need everyone know it for you to make it you must come down to Southwest ask P square, Obi Cubana and co, because we don't distinguish never make us forget .... out of school in every region will have to count both indigenous and non indigenous out of school in that region... and we all know that aside Yoruba next is Hausa people that are accommodating in Nigeria ... the two will give you space to excel in their community without any questioning except you disagree with them

immortalcrown:
Is the good Samaritan willing to give the hospital his identity in case no one else shows up for the accident victim?

Nigerian database is too poor to support hospitals treating accident victims in certain situations. Many of you might claim that I am heartless. But isn't the nurse also a human? What if the victim fails to pay after treatment and the hospital mandates the nurse to pay the bill?

What if police later gets involved and detains the girl when no one else shows up for the victim? In Nigeria, some legal actions have been criminalised and poor people are the victims. For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases.

Read the heading again this time slowly .... it says Federal Hospital not private Hospital

Negroid001:
What is the significance of this festival?
We Yoruba people spend too much on frivolities

Are you aware that at the start of the unprepared invasion, Ukraine didn't have up to 20 fighter jets and no missile or air defense system at all because they were busy honoring the agreement they signed with Russia during the disintegration of USSR?


Are you also aware that Ukraine use to own nuclear weapon but it was decommissioned and handed to Russia as part of a peace deal supervised by the US after USSR disintegration?


Russia is a weak nation when you compare how many years of military experience and weapon gathering they have compared to Ukraine.


Most of the USSR military weapons were inherited by Russia.


With Russia's abysmal performance in the war with Ukraine, if Russia face Israel, it will be a tough war and if Russia face Germany, the war will most likely end in draw, and if Russia face USA, Russia will be leveled in less than 6 months if both countries are prevented from using nuclear weapon.



Russia is not as powerful as the whole world use to believe in the past before the invasion of Ukraine.


China will defeat Russia before December if they face it off.



Russia cannot have a field day with any other major European country the way it had with Ukraine if nuclear weapon is prohibited

Mentioned Any war between nations that have ever happen on US soil and also do you know it was the same Moscow that capture Berlin ?? What are you saying now

mysticwarrior:
The Germans slaughtered 6 million Jews and 27 million Soviets during WW2 yet they are still thriving. The US slaughtered millions of native Americans, and obliterated hundreds of thousand innocent Japanese citizens when they dropped the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs and yet they flourish in all areas. The French and Belgians massacred In Congo and other African countries. The Japanese committed genocide in China, Turkey slaughtered thousands of Albanians. All these countries are doing very well.

Attach by force.




This how they have been forcing Yoruba on other tribes in south west.


Many times Aworis tribe, the real owners of Lagos have said they are not Yorubas,yet Yorubas Keep claiming Lagos to the level that none of them identify with their five Yoruba states again.



Everyone from five Yoruba states is now a lagosian

Itshekiri are a clan from Ijebus

To me they should ask the state government, the state government has collect bribe if nothing has been done to address this .... similar thing happen in Ibadan the then government close the company until they agree to pay good salary and also HMO.... no company can operate freely in any state without the state government know about it

Glimpsetv:
A Nigerian female soldier has called out a civilian prankster and content creator who poured water on her while she was in uniform, all in the name of a prank. According to the soldier, she seized the prankster’s phone at the scene, but the female content creator still went ahead and posted the video online.

She revealed that it was her colleagues who woke her up with calls in the morning, sending her the now-viral video. That was when she realized the prankster must have used a second phone to film the incident and uploaded it despite her phone being seized.

Reacting to the situation and showing the part of the video where the prankster poured water on her, the soldier said, “I’m waiting for her to come and collect this phone. I’ll teach her how to prank. These Nigerian pranksters need to learn a lot. Since they don’t know how to respect people, they will learn...”

The video has sparked mixed reactions online. While many condemned the prankster’s actions, others are eagerly watching to see if she will dare to retrieve the phone from the soldier.

Watch the viral video and share your thoughts in the comments.
