officialwdhtv: Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State and former APC National Chairman addressing his people at Iyamho Edo State recently.
This man missed his chance to become president of Nigeria. He spoilt his name with with by going for Edo state governorship. Tell me how many people would've vote against him if he was the same Osho we knew back then.
KaluwisxPRO: It’s not western propaganda, you have to think twice before going against the US. Russia got their own doze of casualty a few weeks ago. Have you read their response to Ukraine recently
BIDEN has made it clear to Russia that Ukraine being a member of NATO is non negotiable. They’ve accept that fact and are now trying to renegotiate a way out via a security deal.
You think having the biggest war chest is by mouth.
MrCGPA: This Arewa people are just taking the Whole Nation for Granted. They think Nigeria is their Own and can only decide how she functions. Power must Shift to the South come 2023 and the Presidential Candidate Should be a Christian!
presidency: Soccer-loving Nigerians were heartbroken last Sunday when the Super Eagles of Nigeria could not fly higher than the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in the second round match of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament holding in Cameroon.
Nigerians were full of expectations. The Super Eagles players were confident. President Muhammadu Buhari had done what the father of the nation should do, engaging in a video conference earlier in the day to ginger the players. Alas, Nigeria lost the game by a lone goal, and exited the tournament.
Nobody likes to lose in a keen contest, whether political, economic, domestic, professional, or in sports. Winning is exhilarating, gives a feel-good sensation, and generally sends the adrenaline pumping. But you know what? Losing is part of the game. Any game, all games. We may comfort ourselves by saying no victor, no vanquished, but the real truth is that somebody loses. A team loses. It is ineluctable.
I follow football a lot, and apart from our local and national teams, I also pay attention to the English Premiership League (EPL), where Manchester City currently leads its closest rival, Liverpool FC by nine points.
In October, Man City had been beaten 2-0 by less fancied Crystal Palace, and right at Etihad Stadium, home base of the league leaders. It was something akin to sacrilege.
Pep Guardiola is possibly the best coach in the world today, and handles Manchester City. When he was interviewed after the Crystal Palace debacle, he just shrugged, and said; “Losing is part of the game.” True.
We want to win at all times. We don’t want to be worsted, or have our nose bloodied at all. But life is not so. You win some, and you lose some. That was what happened to Nigeria last Sunday, though rather painfully.
I have read many silly, idiotic and imbecilic comments, trying to link the loss to the video conference the President had with the players on Sunday morning. Witless. Thoughtless. And incidentally, if the Super Eagles had gone into the match without encouragement from their President, the same people would have come out to condemn the leader of the country for being taciturn and insensitive. Head or tail, you never win with some Nigerians.
There are countries, and football teams, who have established a tradition for being outstanding in soccer. But such teams and countries have lost scandalously before, underscoring the truth that losing is part of the game.
We have talked about Man City and the loss to Crystal Palace. After that week, they went ahead to win the next 12 EPL games, and the fairy tale run did not end till last Saturday, when they played 1-1 away to Southampton FC. You win some, you lose some.
Football can be cruel at times. There can be a humiliation of the brightest and best, but it does not mean the end of the beautiful game. After falling, you get up, dust your pants, and move on, waiting for another day. “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up,” says renowned American football coach, Vince Lombardi.
Now, see a few checklist of humiliations of great soccer playing teams and nations, and see whether it calls for the otiose politicking, as we saw with some Nigerians earlier this week.
AC Milan and Real Madrid are super powers in football. But at the semi final of the European Cup in 1989, Milan handed a 5-0 trouncing to Madrid.
In the run up to winning the European Champions League last year, Bayern Munich crushed the great Barcelona FC 8-2. The defeated team included world’s best, Lionel Messi.
Argentina is a super power in soccer. But in a 2009 World Cup qualifier, it lost 1-6 to Bolivia. Scandalous!
Brazil, possibly the best soccer playing country in the world, hosted the World Cup in 2014. They had reached the semi final, and were clear favorites to lift the trophy. They met Germany, and got thumped 7-1. Outrageous! Well, losing is part of the game.
Argentina, under the legendary Diego Maradona lost a World Cup game to Germany 4-0. France beat Brazil 3-0 at France ‘98. The old Czechoslovakia trounced Argentina 6-1 before, England slumped to Hungary 3-6 at Wembley Stadium, their home base, while Portugal fell 0-10 to England at Lisbon in 1953. Spain beat Germany 6-0 in 2020. I say it again: losing is part of the game.
One thing was clear from the way the Super Eagles played their firs three matches at AFCON. The German Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, should have been fired long ago. He contributed nothing to Nigerian soccer. The team played better under the tutelage of home based Augustine Eguavoen. As the Sports and Youth Development Minister, Sunday Dare, has said, the team “faced the challenge bravely and gave a good account of themselves.”
On those making mischievous political capital out of the loss, the Minister rightly said: “We, as a nation win together, and we lose together. Sports is a unifying factor and those that seek to use it as vectors of division, targeting players with hate speech and making irresponsible statements should rise above such behavior. We are much better than that as a people.”
The best players in the world-Pele, Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Messi, Ronaldo, etc have lost, and still lose matches. Under Muhammadu Buhari as military head of state, we won our first Under 17 global trophy in 1985. In this dispensation, we have won the same trophy twice. So, why do the heathens rage, and the people imagine vain things?
“Winning is not everything-but making the EFFORT to win is,” says Lombardi. Super Eagles made the effort to win, encouraged by their President, but they lost. Sad. But that is how it is, till another day. Losing is an inevitable part of the game.
*Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity
Under Muhammadu Buhari as military head of state, we won our first Under 17 global trophy in 1985. In this dispensation, we have won the same trophy twice. Somebody should tell this slowpoke that Nigeria has won it five thanx.
Ex- convict. Shay they do you people something strong nill? Some idiots want Tinubu other idiots want this criminal. My God,what's wrong with Nigerians?
seunmsg: Tinubu is the game changer for Lagos state. He set the path that all others followed. He is the illuminator and the master planner of modern Lagos.
He moved the state internal revenue from the monthly N600million in 1999 to the over N20billion that it is today. In fact, when Tinubu re-positioned Lagos state board on internal revenue to LIRS, the Obasanjo government quickly copied the template and changed Federal board of inland revenue to FIRS.
His revenue, education, transport, health, waste management and traffic management policies have been copied by so many states all over the country and even the Federal government. That Lagos is now the 5th largest economy in Nigeria is to his credit.

Mouth non go let me talk them. I can't explain at all.. Bro,I have even decided to the encourage somebody to stop.. When the sides effects come nan the person go stop.
God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari and his amiable Vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo for all they are doing to make this once battered and looted.
Congratulations to Allen Onyema.
This is Beautiful.
Let's hear from the horse's mouth....
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Air Peace Airlines, Allen Onyema, says it is untrue to say that President Muhammadu Buhari does not like the Igbos.
Onyema defended his viewpoint on Saturday on the grounds that his airline had hugely benefited from the current administration.
I’m a beneficiary of Buhari’s kindness to Igbos – Air Peace boss
“I thank God for our President, Muhammadu Buhari, it is very untrue that he does not like the Igbo. Without me being a member of his party, or any party, I am a beneficiary of his support for indigenous businesses.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria has given me destinations they have never given anybody, yet I am an Igbo man, from Anambra,” Onyema said on an interview with Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS).
Furthermore, he stressed that people should not read negative meanings to the good works of the Buhari administration.
“I don’t know anybody, I don’t have any godfather, President Buhari through his minister, Hadi Sirika, has given me China, London, Portugal, the entire Europe, United States and India. “He’s even given me Jedda, and I’m not a Muslim; the government has given me about twenty destinations to fly to.”
He added that; “The President wants equal economic development everywhere.”
These are the Great and True Igbo men true igbos listen to.
More from Air Peace Boss below...... in his own words
They headlines says one thing and you jump straight to another. What rule did your Darling president played in lifting ban on south African and Ethiopian?
You will have to take this paper back to head quarters, they will then give you a crazy form yet again which you will have to take to the zone were you were arrested or booked. There the boss will sign and hand you a payment advise which you will take to any bank to make the payment to Lagos State Tax Deposit account.
Once this payment is made, a certificate of payment will be issued as confirmation. This receipt you will take it back to the headquarters at Oshodi Apapa express way. There they will confirm your payment and minute on the document for your car to be released to you. You will then have to made 3 copies each of all the documents in your possession as that moment.
Back to the zone After the above is done you return you the zone will all the original documents from Oshodi then, they zone commander will confirm the documents and they calculate how long your car has been in their custody and you will be made to pay DEMORAGE N1000 per day. This payment will be made yet again into Lagos state Tax Deposit account.
Release of Vehicle Once you have made the payment for the Demorage. Come back to the zone with your receipt. Your key will be handed over to you. But your tyres would have been deflated. You still have to give N1,000 to the vulcanizer to get your car tyres back up.
They should make it 500k. Why on earth would a sane person drive one way?
Uncle96: The Jamb failing part, you have a little point.. excessive masutubation makes you have a bit of memory loss, you forget things so easy... as for quitting , I'll be honest, most men died trying to quit, it's kind of part of human nature.. you can only reduce how nasty and often but you can never escape mastubation in this life or next. No human can vouch not to have masturbated in his or her life.
Dude,I have stopped it successfully. Nothing on earth can make me masturbate, ever.. It's over 1 year now since I tried that shirt.. I didn't stop willingly, nan body tell me.. If I try masturbation today en,then the rest of the month will be hell for me.. Not to talk of some of the other side effects I can't mention here.
And if you think that you are addicted....the solution is that you need to first stop thinking it is a bad thing....so you won't be feeling guilty after masturbating.....
You know the funny thing When you stop feeling guilty about masturbations and stop seeing it as a bad thing that is the time you start to limit it without you knowing.... masturbation is not a bad thing
Nan body go tell you later.. Continue dey masturbate OK?
Masturbation can never make you fail exam except you want to fail(so die that talk).
I know is introverts and all these tech guys that mostly engage in this kind of sex, maybe you should go out more often.
As for masturbating to your family members, omoh!!! This one na spiritual cleansing.
My advice: if you have money , look for one hot girl and enjoy yourself with her or fast and pray.
It is well my dear.
You're one of those that science is deceiving. In the future science will surely come out with the truth,by them I guess masturbation must have done some irreversible damages to the people ur likes lured into it.
