Scream:
If you were PO's supporters, you won't accept that you are a lover in the first place because he didn't lose! You scallywag!
I hate that the bulk of Obi supporters are not enlightened or just plain dumb. I support Peter Obi but I am not stupid . One question, I ask and still asking . Do you think if this election is done again without rigging , that Peter Obi would get up to 25 % in Kano , Kastina , kogi , Kwara , gombe , Jigawa , borno , Bauchi , Adamawa, Niger , Sokoto , kebbi , not counting the rest of the south west states where he didn't get up to 25%. Argue with logic and sense abeg

Politics / Most of us Obi supporters are sore losers by icedfire(m): 6:14pm On Feb 28, 2023
I play fifa 2022 and 2023 a lot on my console. It's fun playing online with different people across the globe. It's a simple game but it can also be very personal. I know people who have broken their controller by smashing it on the ground when they lose and I know some other people who will exit the game just when they are about to lose. These second set of people i call them the sore losers. It's very annoying to play against sore losers and I try not to be one when I play .

Nigeria election has come and gone and as it is, Peter G Obi has zero chance of winning due to not having the required 25% in at least 24 states. I know it hurts and it is painful when your candidate loses especially after all the online banter, insults and bully but it's time to face the reality . Peter Obi will NOT be our president in 2023. Even if we were to go into a run off , it's going to be between the first and second position, which sadly doesn’t look like Peter Obi. Nigeria is in a bad state and luckily I didn’t need to campaign for PO as every member of my family can see through the hardship and they understood the need to make a difference by voting obediently.
They said there are 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Looks like the bulk of us Peter G Obi supporters are in denial state . It is not unheard of to outrightly skip stages during the process of grief and I am hoping we all can go through this grief without experiencing anger and depression. Peter Obi's loss is staring right in our face and I indulge all PO supporters to remember the serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebur "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can
and wisdom to know the difference" .
Educated Nigerians have tried to change the things they can through the ballot box but the truth is that it is always going to be like this as long as this country is divided along ethnic and religion lines .

Perusing through the results releases so far, I realize If this election were to be done a 100 times , Peter Obi would lose a 100 times . That is the bitter truth we need to accept . Social media has never won election in the world. Imagine the number of people in Kano that voted for kwankwanso, Tinubu and Atiku do you think they would suddenly vote for Peter Obi if the election was done again and again? Same with Sokoto, Kastina , kebbi , Jigawa , Bauchi and the rest of the core northern state. Same way I don't expect the number of Tinubu or Atiku’s voters to increase in Anambra, Abia or Enugu even if the election was done a thousand times . Except we want to lie to ourselves , Peter Obi CANNOT get 25% in more than 25 states in present day Nigeria.

Digressing a little , If you are an educated southerner you should be worried about the almajiri situation in the north. Educated southerners only marry one wife and want just 2 or 3 kids . The same cannot be said of the north . They have the large population and it’s so easy to get through to them because they mostly have a homogeneous religion and language . So if the educated and enlightened Nigerians decide to pick a candidate, as long as the bulk of the poor uneducated people are out there, it’s always going to be a long walk .
I remember the 2016 election in America and Donald Trump was contesting. The establishment thought it was a joke and they thought no sane mind would vote for him. Well people did and he became the president. Some people still can’t fathom how it happened but it did and he was sworn in as the 45th POTUS.
This is the beauty of democracy . It’s all metrics and numbers . If I were to pick a mentally retarded person from Yaba or Uselu, and if I campaigned for him rigorously in my state of origin , and convince the majority to vote for him and they did, sadly there is nothing the educated and enlightened ones can do , they have to deal with it for 4 years.
The solution is for the politically educated ones to reach out to the grassroots and convince majority to vote their candidate

Back to my Fifa 2023 game , I have lost a lot of times to better players, sometimes I lose as much as 5 nil but I do not exit the game till the end . I have lots of people that ended up adding me as a friend after the game and we end up playing together a couple more times . Some of them I end up whooping after lots of tries . And some still continue whooping me till this day . It’s never a do or die. Just like election is a game of numbers , so is my fifa 2023 game . You win some , you lose some. Don’t be a sore loser when you eventually lose. Congratulations to whoever is sworn in on the 29th of May and hopefully you can prove us wrong and give us a better Nigeria that we can all be proud of .

Politics / Buhari I Curse You Today With Everything In Me by icedfire(m): 1:18pm On Jan 31, 2023
I have been watching and reading in the news about people struggling and some fighting to collect new naira notes from the ATM and I just laugh thinking it’s all comedy.

I called my aged mum in Nigeria today and I sincerely cried . My mum is almost 80, she is retired and she was in the bank today to get her small pension. She has no money like ZERO money at home to buy groceries. She got to the bank and the queue outside was terrible and it wasn’t even dispensing yet people were queuing for ATM that wasn’t dispensing . I told her to speak with the security guys if they will allow her access to the bank , they still denied her access . Eventually she promised to sort one of the security guys at the gate when she is done if she was allowed in the bank. She was finally allowed in and I was happy that the hurdle was over .

She got in the bank and it’s another long long queue , it got to my mums turn and she was trying to withdraw just #20,000 of her OWN money and they told her they can only offer her #5,000 , I was on the phone with her and I was boiling .

The terrible part is that she was NOT given new notes . The #5000 she got were old torn 50 naira notes amounting to 5000. I was screaming over the phone at my mum not to collect the old naira note that it is useless, and then she said how will she eat if she didn’t get the money. I started crying . Like how can you be rich and be poor? How can you have money in your account and it is not accessible?

E no go better for Buhari and every other individual that is supporting this evil government.
If not that my mum is stubborn and doesn’t like to stay here, we wouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense . I just bought her ticket to come here next month and this time she didn’t even argue .
If you guys like , vote whoever in February, I don’t care. I just want my mum alive till March 7 when she leaves to come down here.

@justwise, I am trying to fill fill out application for my folks for a b1/b2 visa, and the "... For instruction and documents required for application..." Link on page 1,2,3, and 4 isn't working.

http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/mobile//non-immigrant_visas.html.

I know I am supposed to go through each of the thread from 1 to 4 to search for steps, but can you please edit the first page of thread 1,2,3,and 4 and add the instructions for those that want to fill out the form themselves. It will help people from asking random question and save time searching through threads for something as basic as the application process.

Sports / Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Sends Juventus Fans Wild After Undergoing Medical (Photos) by icedfire(m): 3:19pm On Jul 16, 2018
Reference:


Each team has its own performance criteria and they have medical standards that relate to the club, its prospects, player longevity, etc. It can even determine how much is the final value of the contract. Moreover this check also sets up his medical profile so that when annual checks are made they can be related to his entry. Also a player of his profile will command a high insurance premium which the club will be paying, there are merchandising contracts and the promoters will want to know the body physique they are investing heavily in.

Th famous Kanu had been playing for Ajax, even winning the Champions League but it is when he made the attempt to switch to Internazionale Milan that his defective heart valve was found out. How do you explain that. Just different criteria and I understand that of Italian clubs are particularly high. Italy has always been known for recreational and performance enhancing drugs use in soccer and this has a profound effect on player health and welfare.

And remember, the last on field death in soccer was in Serie A, just last season, so you can imagine buying a 100million dollar machine and depending on the VIN when you can do diagnostics yourself. Very foolish.

So lets assume he plays with the old lady for 6months and decides to move to napoli, same Italy, napoli will run a totally new check when they can have It transferred down. I know why I am saying this, I know every major employer of Labour nigeria will run a medical check, but in the US it's different . They may do a routine drug test, but if you transfer jobs, your medical profile is the same. U will be surprised that after moving to a different state in the US and u report sick to an hospital, your past medical record from another state, another work place will be pulled out . It's all tied to the social security.
