🎙️| Ruben Amorim: "I want to apologise. I also want to say thank you. I know it was really hard to support us in many games but now we have to make a choice – stay stuck in the past, fight each other. Or we stick together and move forward. Six months ago, in my first three games in charge, I said to you, 'the storm is coming'. Today after this disaster season, I want to tell you that the good days are coming."

Shey people no dey inside ADC before ni?

They are better off registering a new party like APC did back then instead of using an existing party which it's existing members can drag the soup of the party with them through a gazzilion of court cases funded by the ruling party APC

[color=royalblue]Shebi Atiku get mouth for North?

He better start telling his political followers to defect.

I no wan hear story when that time comes.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Hopefully they take her back Sha because it seems she abandoned her family just to be with him only for him to wound up dead after few years of marriage.

My hope is that she uses the money well ; most likely start a business that can cater for her and kee kid's needs.

[color=royalblue]Unless one comes from a wicked family, I don't see why anyone should cancel their family because of marriage.

I can never do that, and my wife shouldn't.

When all the chips are down in life, it is your family that will have your back.

She learnt a very bitter lesson at a young age.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Which party do they now want to use?

I hope it's not SDP because the old members of the party can also cause problem in the party like what happened in Labour Party. All they just need is sumptuous offer from APC to 4ck things up and u will start seeing lawsuit flying left, right and center

[color=royalblue] Definitely not SDP.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I hope it stops. But recently I still had to deal with such issue on my desk.

The deceased guy was just 30, he worked with one of our subsidiaries as a junior staff before his demise. He left behind a young wife and daughter who is about a year old or thereabouts.

By company policy, a deceased staff's dependants are entitled to his death benefits which runs into millions depending on the deceased staff's level. All the dependants need to do is provide his death certificate and few other documents.

I learnt this guy's elder sister had carried his bike while the wife was still mourning and she was already making moves to gun for the death certificate and other documents so she can corner the wife and go directly to HR to get the brother's death benefits.

The person in HR reached out to me and narrated the whole issue to me. He made known of his desire to have the widow get the benefits instead of the sister who had already carried his bike, clothes and few electronics claiming she paid his school fees so she deserves to reap from his sweat.

Long story short, the wife got the death benefits eventually based on some of the advise I gave the HR person and the steps I asked him to follow. But the whole thing just made me shudder at the thought that there are indeed people who still think a woman with a kid should be thrown out to suffer. This particular lady married the guy against her own parents' wishes o; she abandoned her college of education Programe in her final year due to the pregnancy.

These things still dey happen o; na earlier this year the whole matter sup.

[color=royalblue]This one na just heartlessness, and not really about culture.

The woman learnt the hard way; Married into a wicked family and got first hand experience.

I really hope her family came through for her.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
If this one na whining and he eventually ports, that means he Don provide dragging materials for his opps with this position he just took in the video. It will only cause more problem for him.

[color=royalblue]I think they are intentionally doing it.

Atiku still dey parade as PDP candidate, even with how the whole stacks are against him internally.

There's a new party, and they have decided to wait till when they want to announce [/color]

BlueRayDick:
The pronouncement of supreme court (case law) is actually superior to customary/traditional law.

Well, maybe in Ur culture land belongs to families but in normal settings a land purchased by a man belongs to him and he can always pass it on to his kids whether male or female. Any custom that forbids him passing it down to his female kids is discriminatory and has no leg to stand on in the face of the law

[color=royalblue]These things are gradually changing with time, irrespective of whether there's a law or not.

Back then, a woman's job is to stay at home and cater for the family

Today, men are going through life, ensuring that their daughters do Masters and get good jobs..Na those ones go stay house?

I have never heard about sharing another person's property in my own family. Everybody is busy thinking of how to excel before they die. Na those days all those ones dey happen.

My children's generation and beyond will most likely not hear all these stories in their prime [/color]

What do you think of this

[color=royalblue]I think there's a coalition, and they don't want to make it known yet.

He himself has also said they are all going to unite to remove APC.

This one na whining. A new party is already in place for them to port to.[/color]

The oil states are actually doing FTZs but the non oil state are not really doing same.

States like Jigawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Ekiti, etc. Which free trade zone dem wan do ? People who want to invest in such states must come with huge volume of capital to even bring the manufacturing companies to life. I believe giving such investors tax break may not really cut it for them , hence why they aren't seeing investors to woo.

Another thing is most of the state government officials spend money like they are states with oil and have investors fund lying around somewhere. The truth is some states are economically disadvantaged and for them to turn a corner they need to first learn to save government funds, invest them and then investors from outside will pick up interest in the state. That is why frivolous government spending will always be our bane as a country whether in states with oil, economically viable state or non-economically viable states.

[color=royalblue]Okay...Let's assume those ones up north are economically disadvantaged.

Why can't Southern states leverage on their closeness to Lagos and develop gradually?

My state is 8 hours to Lagos by road (I am factoring countless checkpoints and bad roads). That means that with a proper structure for transportation, either by sea or rail, it can be 4 hours.

If this is available, there are manufacturers that will ditch the idea of buying land at 1 billion in Lagos, and rather pay few millions to manufacture there

Most Southern governors are just lazy. Money kuku dey to spend, so no need to think.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I am not excusing those state governors o, but I just need to point out few things in relation to this Ur post :

1. There's absolutely nothing u can do to encourage manufacting in a country where there's no stable power supply. The few companies producing in Lagos, PH, Kano ( Yes there are still companies producing in kano), etc do so at a great cost to them. They literally provide their own source of power. The truth is not many can actually do that, hence why there are few manufacturing companies and some are still leaving due to unfavorable govemenment policies in recent times.

2. States where there are no jobs, it will be hard to get security right. The more unemployed people u have, the more people will embrace crime. Some of the people not engaging in crime even in this Lagos are shunning crime because there's opportune city for them to sell either their skill or time for money.

That being said, only true federalism can actually make Nigeria a level playing ground where u can start comparing states with each other. As of today, some states are more economically disadvantaged than the others due to no fault of theirs.

[color=royalblue]I remember when Chimaraoke Nnamani wooed NBPlc to Enugu state during his tenure. He gave them years of tax breaks and I think free land, in exchange for employing 70% of people in his state.

I mean, there are other ways to make it work, and that's why I said a lot of them are not visionary.

Lagos built an IPP that supplies power to all their hospitals and courtrooms. Are you saying Oil rich states cannot do so for free trade Zones in their states?

How many states have even thought of having FTZs sef?

Bros, the problem is a constant. We know. But as a leader, what are you doing about it? Na the Koko be that.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Well, in my opinion

We can keep flogging the past issues, and we are absolutely right. But it doesn't change the fact that almost all our governors are not visionary leaders.

What exactly are they doing to improve manufacturing in their states? What exactly are they doing to woo companies from Lagos to their states?

I haven't been to many states, but I can tell you that of all the ones I have been too, Lagos offers a better security than the rest.

For most states, only the capital is the most secured and easiest place to do business. After the capital, you're on your own. [/color]

Same way buses come to Lagos daily

Nothing to do ke

[color=royalblue]Yobe sits at the bottom of any economical metric you want to check.

Maybe the villages that share borders with Yobe, and that's it. Maiduguri is still safe and people are there.

Nothing dey Yobe, Chief. Even to a Northerner, nothing dey there.[/color]

Muhammadson2020:
You forget we drive everyday for minimum of 10 hours daily. There is no way AC system won't deteriorate

[color=royalblue]So how many times have you changed your Engine, since it also works 10 hours too?

Nigeria is highly deficient in AC technicians. 99% always recommend a total overhaul. Any small thing, compressor, condenser and evaporator is bad.[/color]

Make we nor lie, Lagos compared to the rest of Naija is like a different country in terms of progress and exposure

Lagos is the only state in Naija, I recommend to foreigners who wish to visit Naija and ask my opinion.

[color=royalblue]The gap is very far....

The people that come in and leave Lagos every blessed day cannot be compared to any other state; even the ones experiencing insurgency [/color]

Our presidents always bringing shame to us smh. From buhari to Tinubu.
Who cursed this country?

[color=royalblue] Where's Atiku living? [/color]

Theflint1:
Significantly I mean, already mentioned they aren't out-performing rest of the country by much percentage-wise.

[color=royalblue]Well, I cannot argue about population figures, if that's what you say they aren't outperforming.
[/color]

Amigoss:
Maybe people running from borno

[color=royalblue]And how many people dey run from Borno every year?

After running into Yobe and discover that there's nothing to do, na to still run comot again[/color]

Theflint1:
So your STEM-powered brain doesn't tell you that a state that was one of the most populated in 1991 would maintinaing their rate of fvcking most likely have one of the highest population's in 2025? Kano that had a similar population to Lagos in 1991 experienced same average growth in that period, maybe we should go and erect a statue to worship its governors since 1999 like you're suggesting we do for Tinubu.

I've shown that on average, and percentage wise, which was your original point, Lagos isn't out-performing the rest of the country.

[color=royalblue]This isn't true nau [/color]

Theflint1:
According to ChatGPT, and it's population increase (migration), yes, that Yobe.

[color=royalblue]It has to be the coolest joke in the month of May.[/color]

Theflint1:
Put this prompt on ChatGPT and you'd see they're not outperforming like that...pretty much at par with Nigeria's average population growth.

"Can I get a comparison of population of Nigerian states in 1991 and now in 2025....include percentage increase too. Want it in table format"

The state that has been overburdened with "migration" would be Abuja, then Yobe, you've directed your administrative performance worship in the wrong direction...look to the North.

[color=royalblue]Yobe?

As in Yobe, Damaturu?[/color]
