Paragraph 5

What is Good governance? I do NOT intend to absolve the Government but when we take realistic and logical look at the situation of things in Nigeria, the government cannot perform beyond its capabilities.

Take for instance : Nigeria's total budget for the year 2020 is a measly 34 billion dollars for a more than 200 million population. On the other hand, Kenya's budget is 25 billion dollars with a population of 52 million. You can start drawing the lines. Out of this budget, subsidy needs to be paid on electricity, fuel, education and even health. How much remain? . Before we now factor the oga patapata which is government corruption. .

how much have companies made in nigeria? find out corporate tax %, ask urself where all those funds disappeared to? abi na nnpc? or npa? lagos state alone generates billions of dollars in taxes but people like tinubu and mc oluomo are moving funds and settling boys up and down, nigeria is mismanaged

subsidy is the only benefit most nigerians get, its better to cut funding from other sources than there, find me a country without some form of social benefits for citizens, they wouldn't try it, i wonder who comes up with this ideas, coronavirus just hit and instead of cancel stupid projects its social benefits they want to attack

Paragraph 4

Thank God you agree with me that democracy is the most reliable tool for good governance. Leave Socrates alone abeg . Since we have realised that democratic practices have done us little good, I wager that the best thing is to change our democratic actors not collapse the entire democracy.

democracy which one? american? abi na british? which country get perfect democracy that represents the interest of the people

you think you have power but you dont, its rich men that sponsor politicians, its the rich men that choose policies

if a rich man want a law, they can easily get such law, the choices of the masses is lost, how many beautiful ideas do you have that you wonder why they havent been implemented


democracy is dead oga, maybe a hybrid version sha

Amoto94:
For those in favour of revolution, have a look.
The French Revolution turned into nightmare as Napoleon hijacked it and plunged Europe into internecine wars
The Bolshevik revolution in Russia ushered in a murderous communist regime
The Serbian Revolution of 1914 plunged the world into a war
The Revolution of 1966 plunged Nigeria into civil war that we are yet to recover from decades later
The Lebanon revolution of the 70s plunged the country a 15year civil war and its effect still felt till today
The Iranian revolution ushered in a pariah State in Mideast
The Iraqi revolution led to the unleashing of daesh in Levant and Iraq
Libyan revolution led to endless bloodletting and bloodbath in Libya and the effects are very much obvious
The Syrian revolution created a refugees crisis and other humanitarian catastrophe
Call me a coward or a government lackey revolution doesn't always produce the goods and even when it does they're miniscule compared to the harms

A Nigerian revolution is straight anarchy, those example pale in comparison with what's to come, they aren't being direct and are making impossible demands, this has grown beyond endsars, they are talking bad governance and accountability, plenty people have lost their jobs and coronavirus caused serious hardship, government went ahead to make it worst by reducing social spending aka subsidy they will soon use pastors and traditional rulers to try to talk to the youths, if that doesn't work, army will enter the story and it will get bloody from there, maybe coup plot or rampant arrests

its the woke celebrities that are making me laugh, government will blacklist many i feel for dangote, guyman will be scared, he knows that nigeria is a boiling pot that can explode at any moment, he fears times like this


nigerians are cowards, they will shout and complain but will return home when they get tired, let them protest till next month first let me see, companies supplying food and other amenities will soon enter trouble, i doubt if it will get to revolution level sha, maybe small anarchy

johnstar:
Lol boys wey don dey even prepare to go toll gate.. dm don even get time table self


2morw dm go watch ball for toll gate.. so nothing is stopping the protest

What a time to be alive

MorataFC:
Thank God football dhey resume dis week, this last weekend is so so boring and so long, that one week be like 4 weeks.


FIFA #endinternationalbreak

Football might end the protest, i hope they are serious enough to persist for real change, if they stop now, the battle is lost.

WeissVonner:
Sorry LeBron.

If you know, you know...

is he still jobless?

Bradley beal to lakers, please lord

How old were you?

when you realized that pancake is scrambled puff-puff?

Local policing is the only way forward, America uses that method and it's working, It's not perfect but at least, when it works, it works, unlike this, how can a sokoto man understand a bayelsa man? Most times language can help reduce conflict, if the police man talking to people speak their language, they will most likely listen to him

Buhari is being asked to use his Chinese connections to aid her plight

If you know, you know

So dan bilzerian lifestyle was a sham

He rented the mansion and cars

Paid models to hang out with him

Partey is the new hype, arsenal fans will never change

He is kante hybrid

steady986:
I've never seen predictions that were more wrong

as at the time he made those predictions, things were looking that way.

afrodoc2:
1) I think Dortmund are really serious and won't even sell him to us now if we come this late in the window and they can't get an adequate replacement.

2) If we go by the true value of players he is not worth that amount, especially in this post-COVID era where all clubs are feeling the pinch. However most players are sold for more than they are actually worth, therefore if you go by Karvetz 80m Euro, Victor Osimhen 72m Euro, Chilwell 50m Euro then Sancho should be worth about 100m Euro.

3) I don't want him to be bought for 120m Euro especially this late in the season because of the added and unnecessary pressure that he will face.
Firstly he would be the first 100m pound English player. Secondly coming after the foolishly protracted negotiations there will be so much scrutiny compared to if we had done it quickly and early in the window. Thirdly he would be coming without any pre-season with his new team mates.

To summarize, it is a complex situation and even though i would prefer us not to go above 90m pounds i.e 100m Euro, i think we might have to if we mean business.

Both sides have good arguments but i don't see why some are insulting each other and going so personal with the issue though.

Lastly Sancho or no Sancho we need a LB to compete with Shaw and keep him on his toes. Move Williams to RB as an attacking sub for AWB.

using euros to inflate Chelsea transfers

And pounds to reduce united's offer

Shannon Sharpe

Anytime we drag transfer, the player always flops

Babayoko is a recent example

Kepa and mendy transfer if it goes through will cost 100m and we still haven't fixed the issue, mendy is in his late 20s, in 3 years we are looking for another keeper

I will never forgive that snake, if we kept Cech sold him instead of bringing him back and got another keeper, we wouldn't be in this mess, kepa cant stop shots from outside the box that Brighton goal was a mistake by kepa

See silence

Such cowards

If they are winning now, they will be commenting on how wonderful pogba is

I have always wanted to say this

Betting is like MMM

You are all contributing money to another person's success

Might be the owners or another lucky person but the fact is you are all playing a ponzi scheme, there are predictable events and there are unpredictable events, sports is very unpredictable, given the amount of individual people involved

So last last, most of you will give up, a few will be successful

Last last, you are all wasting your time and money but wetin concern me

Make I hear say we no do party for this thread tonight

Demayour:
One thing that constantly wakes the paranoia of the West is any effort to outshine them. They believe the world ends and stops at their corridor so every success must be attributed to them and when economic and technological dominance is mentioned, they always want to lead the field.

nairaland needs to change the way comments are arranged, you have said the only sensible thing on this thread, shame your comment is here not first in line to enlighten those mumu that will be hailing america as heroes, no country in the history of the world has done bad more than America.

Nezzjnr:
Baba you no get talk abeg

Show me your Titles and compare it to Fergie's own

what happened after Ferguson?

How many players?

How many billions?

What do you have to show for it?

Everybody at one point has a great past, who are you today and recently is what people want to know

dubylhover:
First of all,matic has been intense this post covid footie,but we are still trying to find that right balance in midfield..

when have you ever had balance?

Mention 1 time that your team had balance? That team has always been a mess, all una sabi na cross and cross again, rinse and repeat, as parking bus is Chelsea, Crossing is united

Nezzjnr:
The same bunch of useless players made your great players to wail and groan in 2008



Some trolling just dey too stupid I swear

it was penalty, its anybody game and since we were the first with opportunity to seal it, why wouldn't it hurt, wetin be your point biko, whenever Manchester faced a good foe they lost unless they had luck, same Barca that had to be helped to beat us 2009, met you and smoked you

Met you again and destroyed you
