I like this team's mentality...fighting till the end despite the fact that they are leading by 3 goals.

With a 🔥 spitting dragon in the mix, team B stands no chance. Our people need long incantations to make things happen, Merlin needs a word or two to make his dragon wreck havoc. You do the math. 😅

HacheNoire:
Lengthy gibberish!

What are his achievements outside sharing freebies to hungry people!

You composed a novel and still could not highlight strategic and visible impacts he made in all his previous years in governance!

Ogun state people should brace up for impact! Their sufferings will continue for another 8 years since they have perfected ways of voting for incompetence.

If I may ask, who would be more qualified for the job?

Only him is saying let's forget the past, same him is saying let's use what Tinubu probably said over 30 years ago under Junta to judge him. Oga, stop being everywhere, you dey contradict yourself.

Arostar2023:
We all know those (the political party), who have publicly (on record), threatened others with death and all that, because of politics. It’s evident that when politicians lack anything credible to campaign with and win over the electorates, they resort to threats and violence. It’s such a shame! May God continue to protect all those who are sticking out their necks to ensure that Nigerians get liberated from the clutches of corrupt and wicked politicians.

You mean under the Obasanjo led PDP? The highest number of political assassinations were recorded during the PDP era.

This game is there for either team to snatch. It could go either way.

HacheNoire:
You are a true gem for conforming my stance!

It’s rare to find people like you on this forum!

Well, bad is bad. When you place Ogun’s gigantic IGR side by side with the disgraceful state of its roads, you can’t help but ask the uncomfortable question: where exactly is all the money going?

For years, successive governments have presided over the neglect and decay of the state’s road infrastructure, and the result is there for everyone to see. A government that is genuinely serious about development would have to do far more than make promises and patch a few roads here and there. It would need to work relentlessly to reverse years of infrastructural failure and restore Ogun to the level its revenue should have made possible.

A state that generates this much revenue has no business looking this badly maintained.

HacheNoire:
Apologies my language and glad you know where I am driving at.

That state has close proximity to Lagos. It should be greatest state after Lagos but just ddrive length and breadth of date and you will be disappointed.

I went to a place 2 years ago called Ipokia. Not sure if o got the spelling right. I almost cried

If I took a picture there, Nairalanders won’t believe I am in the west.

You got the spelling right. That’s why I believe that district needs to produce the next Governor. They’ve been neglected for far too long. Even the so-called business hub at Ado-Odo/Ota is an eyesore.

HacheNoire:
Of those people did great works, where is it?

Ogun state is an eyesore. Length and breadth!

What did those past administration do?

Those list you mentioned were just opportunist. Let them talk and you will know how empty they are!

What do they do!

Length and breadth of Ogun state is an eyesore

They might be everything you mentioned, but they are not riff-raffs. That's my point

Afobaba33:
As a bona fide son of the soil, with my PVC intact

Am voting YAYi for state election

And OBI for President

While I respect your decision, I am tempted to ask, why Obi?

HacheNoire:
Adebutu? 🤣😂😂

Ogun state is land of the insane! Check since 1999. They always have to choose among the worst!

That state has mad elites which I blame. I mean mad educated, sound, enlightened and diverse intellects, who have abandoned politics for riff raffs.

Ogun state! They have never had a brain contest for governorship in last 4 decades. It’s always the worst.

Seems the elites know even if they should try, ogun state people are programmed and destined to vote for the worst

Obviously, you don't know what you are talking about.

Amosun, OGD and Osoba are sophisticated people—seasoned technocrats who had established careers and proven themselves professionally before venturing into politics. As for Dapo, I am not sufficiently informed about his career and background before he started running for office.

The fact that they were all politicians or even had their shortcomings in governance does not make them riff-raffs. Those are two entirely different things.

In fact, if Adebutu ever becomes governor, he would, in my opinion, be the least qualified person to have occupied that office in Ogun State's history.

HacheNoire:
The APC needs to be destroyed in Ogun, it is for the good of the people.

The APC has become a threat to Ogun state. Not just an ordinary threat but one with terrorism instinct.

Ogun state people themselves are not ready to rescue themselves. They will always vote for the worst candidate. I have never seen a set of people like that in all my years on Earth.

Tell Ogun people to vote for either Okonjo-Iweala or portable olalomi, and I can assure you that, they will vote for portable

In that part of the world, incompetence seems to be competence.

3 decades and the state cannot still boast of 1 Governor. They keep electing wall clocks and door knobs.

So tell me...

What makes Adebutu a better choice to Yayi? And please back it up with fact.

It is myopic to judge every individual in a political party through the same lens simply because they belong to the same party. Politicians are individuals, and their records, character and competence should be judged on their own merits.

Unfortunately, Nigerian politicians have mastered the art of exploiting our attachment to party labels. The moment public sentiment turns against one party, many simply jump ship to whichever party appears more popular, carrying the same baggage with them—and somehow, Nigerians are expected to see them as new and improved.

Same politician. Same record. New party. Suddenly, a saint. That is exactly how they keep taking us for a ride.

I’d rather hand over the keys to someone with a proven record than someone riding on Daddy’s gambling surname. Show us the achievements—private or public—because a surname is not a résumé. The irony is rich: asking us to bet on a gambling family while Daddy waits in the wings as the de facto governor.

And please, stop making a haystack out of nothing—where a man celebrates his birthday is his choice, not a constitutional duty. None of that erases the fact that he remains the best Senator this state has produced in recent times.
Still waiting to be proved wrong. 😏

So, enough with the propaganda and playground name-calling. Tell your man to find his voice, build a record, and earn the keys. Until then, he can wait for the turn of Ogun East again.

As if all your previous governors weren’t Lagos-based before returning home to pursue politics. The hypocrisy is almost impressive. Apparently, it’s only a problem when it suits the narrative.


Iperu cannot replace Iperu.

All these epithetic epistles geared towards image laundering and character assassination won’t change the minds of voters who have already made up theirs, nor will they convince undecided voters to lean towards or gamble on the Lotto family to rescue Ogun.

You can try to tarnish Yayi all you like, but what we want is someone with the experience and proven capacity to deliver—not someone leaning on daddy’s back to govern the state. What is his track record in governance? What is even his track record in business?

Yayi built himself up the ladder and has performed at every level. From his professional career to the Lagos State House of Assembly, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and now as Senator representing Ogun West, there is a publicly verifiable record to assess.

With what I have seen so far, he is the best senator to have represented any district in Ogun State. The records are there for the blind to see. I stand to be corrected, though.

Beyond the fact that this is Ogun West’s best and most realistic shot at producing a governor, or the obvious aberration of someone from the same local government succeeding another from that same LGA, the choice should ultimately be about competence and track record.

Self-made and proven versus someone whose political pedigree is largely inherited. We want someone whose record is publicly available and whose capacity to govern can be objectively assessed. **We don’t want a family-operated government in Ogun.**

Nature is raging, and when nature speaks with such force, humanity is reminded just how small and powerless we truly are. The devastation unfolding in Nepal is another sobering reminder that no matter how advanced we become, there are forces far greater than us.

We build, conquer, exploit and reshape the earth as if we own it. But every now and then, nature reminds us: we are only guests here. Respect the planet, respect its power, and never take tomorrow for granted.

My heart goes out to the people of Nepal. 🇳🇵❤️ In the face of such devastating events, words can hardly capture the pain and loss. May those affected find strength, comfort and support, and may the nation find the courage to rebuild. My thoughts are with Nepal and its people. 🙏

At this rate, nah she and her family come know o. Most Western countries will welcome her on humanitarian grounds. How can you keep living where you not loved...I mean hated with disgust. The hate and attacks would even become more profound if she somehow wins the case. I pray she doesn't get unlived. She has the means to live elsewhere, just get the f out of their goddam country.

All of them should get out. The NSC should run Nigerian football until a fresh and capable people are elected into NFF. This bunch are the most clueless and useless of all time.

ibtommy:
Arsenal don start their initial gragra Man U ho jagbajantise them this season

No wahala, we don't mind losing the battle and winning the war. Just like we did last season.

Plus no be the same Man U wey fall to Milan yesterday? Lol

Body go tell everybody.

In the dying moments of a game like this, you switch to a back three and choke the midfield, so you can win the second balls and kill the opponent’s momentum. But somehow, this coach stuck with a back four until the very end.

We kept losing second balls, which gave the Cameroonians the nerve to keep pushing forward. And we had a strong Omewa sitting on the bench—exactly the kind of player you need for a physical, scrappy game like this.

The man is simply tactically inept. He needs to go.

In fact, this current NFF needs to go. Very incompetent things

PACIONS:
Defections don’t equal progress. They only show how weak and unstable the system has become under APC leadership.

In every generation, there is always a David who stands up to defeat Goliath. Power is not permanent, and the people will always have the final say.

Nigeria has moved backward under APC. What we need now is real change, not recycled alliances.

The real question is: what do the other candidates’ manifestos actually say about how they intend to turn the tide?

Yes, we know how bad things have become. We have lived through it. We don't need another campaign speech reminding us of the problems.

What we need to hear is the solution.

What exactly will you do differently? What are your concrete policies? How will you fix the economy, improve security, create jobs, strengthen institutions, and restore public confidence?

It is easy to diagnose a broken system. The real test is whether you have a credible plan to fix it.

So, beyond telling us how badly the current administration has performed, show us what you intend to do differently. Nigerians deserve more than criticism; they deserve a workable alternative.

Mattswaggz:
this is backward mentality in display....have some shame. .

Well, you can only blame folklore and both Western and local films for portraying crows in that light. It's no surprise many people have developed that perception of them.

Amovingman:
nigeria over 3.5 ft stake high

Historically between both teams, I wouldn't try that. It is almost impossible. Don't be carried away by the 6 goals against Egypt, Cameroon nah OG for this tournament. Naija fit win, but e go dey slim or even thru PK SOs.

Kajaard:
Very brilliant submission. Nice one.

Thank you.

I just hope these childish, ego-driven wars don't spiral into a nuclear catastrophe as the so-called superpowers grow increasingly frustrated and humiliated. Conflicts they expected to be quick walkovers have instead become bones in their throats.

Now, to save face and protect the bruised egos of their leaders, they keep prolonging these wars, hoping their opponents will eventually roll over and surrender. Meanwhile, death, destruction, and untold suffering continue to spread.

Even countries with no stake in these conflicts are paying the price through economic hardship, disrupted trade, inflation, and rising insecurity.

Two reckless leaders, while the rest of the world bears the consequences. 😡

Sonyboom:
They are not worthy of any praise. If they never played the first match like lunatics we won't be here. They are all mad especially the entire coaching staff.

Okay, let me break down the reason for my praise.

This is exactly how the girls have started every tournament since 2018, yet they've gone on to win it almost every time, except for one edition. And you can point to one major reason for those slow starts: the lack of quality friendlies.

Friendlies help build chemistry among the players, allow the coaching staff to identify their best XI, and assess everyone's form before the tournament begins. Instead, the Super Falcons end up doing all of that during the tournament itself. So, the players have to dig deep, relying on experience and individual brilliance until the team gradually finds its balance during the tournament. That's why they usually get better with every game.

Now, some will argue that previous Super Falcons teams also played few or no friendlies. That's true. But what was the quality of the opposition across Africa back then?

The reality is that many African nations have invested heavily in women's football and have caught up with us. Unfortunately, that's a reality the f00lish FA and many arrogant Nigerian fans have failed to recognize.

These ladies really show the never say die spirit of naija today. Kudos

Now, nah to pummel Egypt like 5 nil

Game over...phew😅

Omo, see as my body dey hot on top this match. 😅

Dem don carry another man enter. 😅
