Goodlady:
Nigerians look helpless.
Because they have never agreed together.
They are so hungry, poor and broke, tribalistic, religiously blind and disunited that it's so easy for politicians to use their destiny to drink garri and chicken instead of using fish or groundnut.

What's the solution?
We should all go separate. Split in peace or in peices. That sef is highly unrealistic but the only solution to a multifaceted society.

This "solution" will only lead to war as people of "foreign" ethnic groups who don't leave for their new "countries" fast enough can be, will be, purged with great prejudice.

Ibos wey no comot north fit dey wiped out, same with other tribes wey no be north, other countries will retaliate.

Armed forces will be divided. Northern Navy personnel no go get sea to operate, how den wan take share the armaments, what of electricity? The. National grid?

Long story short, na recipe for barbecued wahala be dat.

SeeWahala:
So. . . ? Is that the end of the houthies? 🤔


So soon?

Bro!

They were carpet-bombed by squadrons of B2 "Spirit" (Stealth) bombers!

It was a total onslaught!

Only Nuclear powers can face America right now, and even those will get flattened.

Is there anything left?
Is it not time yet to chase out these bunch of clueless political bimbos that have done nothing since 2015 other than to ruin our lives beyond beleive?
I repeat; is there any evil left for these inhuman rulers to unleash on hapless Nigerians?
They are busy fighting one Ibrahim Traore

No be only Trouré den dey fight o....

They're also busy consolidating, enticing and forcing everyone to decamp and turn Nigeria into a one-party state.

omonnakoda:
Nigeria never begged him that is a lie without evidence

How old are you? Name the coach that begged him.
I am old Enough to remember FATHER TIKO so tell us which coach begged him??
I am old enough to remember when or Team was called Green Eagles NOT Super Eagles so you cannot bullshit me

You just make up ridiculous stories to catch clout.

Many kids imagine the world in the 80s looked like it does now.

It did not

The premiership was not born , we were not watching English football and the ordinary person in Nigeria did not know him

I remember they brought Two Nigerians from the English First Division as it used to be called then John Chiedozie and another guy and they were not successful

John Fashanu was at his Prime at the same time as Rashidi Yekini
Why would we beg him when we had Yekini
In 1994 We had our best team ever and were ranked Number 6 by FIFA. We did not need him.
We brought in Efan Ekoku from England and he was always on the Bench

Some of us watched "Big League Soccer" back then that focussed on English football with highlights from other European leagues.

I knew John and Justin Fashanu because my Dad, who was an amateur footballer (and a very good one) also schooled in Huddersfield where the Fashanus were born and he knew them, though they're much younger.

Those days, we didn't understand English football, Iust admit. We called it "Kick and Run Football" because it lacked the flair and dribbles we see today.

I remember Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Milky Thomas, Souness, Steady and of course the Fash brothers.

owobokiri:
It has always been written as "Owobokiri" all these years. This is my first time of seeing this version..
But I'm now conversant with the meaning. I mean the "wayward look out for kpekus" definition. Learnt that here from Ishilove. Can't help but love the name more and more. It fits gloriously.

Oh?

All these years, I actually thought you picked the moniker deliberately.

OLAADEGBU:
Are you in any way related to the great Richard Owobokiri?

Richard's name is OWUBOKIRI, not "Owobokiri" which literally means "pessin wey dey find kpekus upandan"

Herkim:
Gianfranca Zola was a player/ coach at Chelsea

Tell them I told you

There used to be quite a few coach/players.

Gianluca Vialli was one.
Ruud Gullit was also a coach/player.
I think even Pep Guardiola was a coach/player for a while, but I'm not so sure.

Lifestone:
Foolish man. He should go and Coach the English Team. Nigeria was practically begging this guy to play for the Country in the '80s, he refused

Get your facts right.

He came to train with the Green Eagles.

He wasn't picked because his playing style didn't jell with the rest of the team.

He came for the Green Eagles before the Three Lions came calling.

The excuse was, he didn't speak any of the Nigerian languages and didn't fit with the team.

However, he alleges that the then coach was extorting players and he refused to pay up, kinda like what happened to Mbappe in Cameroon.

It's more common than imagined.

I have been served suya in INEC ballot envelope before, in the same Chad.

I simply concluded that junior staff stole the stationery and sold it to traders who hauled it off the Chad.

See, harbowkeys are incredibly unscrupulous. They can sell anything.

Jagaban has become the beautiful bride to everybody. US is offering, Isreal is offering, China is offering, Russia is offering. Just a few days ago, Putin sent a message thanking Mr President for supporting UN resolution for combating Nazism..

https://www.nairaland.com/8409941/russia-hails-nigerian-government-over

I love the fact that Nigeria now has options to buy weapons, gone are the days US delayed the supplies of weapons to us even after payments had been made and then some terms and conditions limiting the capacities how the weapons could be used thereby giving some kind of upper hand to the terrorists. Nigeria can now give the US the middle finger.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

You well so?

People are dying, and the wolves are circling,.looking for an arms deal, and you're hailing Tinubu?

Putin wouldn't have come trying to profit from Naija's war situation if Tinubu had dealt with it like a normal President.

Racoon:
Rocked these nice strong shoes back then in primary school from Kingsway stores @ Lagos Island. Nostalgic times! Don't know if BATA still exists

Bought them right from the Bata Shop in Ilorin in the 70s and 80s.

They had these templates where you placed your feet and they used them to give you the best fit.

Inrember running into classmates with their parents and siblings.......



Will such days ever come back for Nigeria?

Can one keep secretary birds as a pet?

They can grow as tall as your average Nigerian babe. Up to 5 feet tall. They have sharp talons and a kick that can pulverise tissue and probably break bone.

A guy here.

We're the ones who can really tell you what's what.

Here's my take:

He's really into you when:

1. He doesn't lie to you.

2. He's really interested in what you do.

3. He scolds you when you do something he doesn't like, especially if it's something you know is wrong.

4. He takes interest in the well-being of your family, but is wary of your friends, especially if you have any with questionable traits.

5. If he's more interested in helping you with meaningful things than vanities, i.e. he pays for your Mom's treatment but refuses to buy you an iPhone. The guy who does the opposite is really after your body. Isn't it an irony?

6. He can mess up, but he does show true remorse and you can see he's really trying to change, just for you. No one is perfect, after all.

7. He encourages you to be a better person. He's doing that because he secretly believes he can be the primary beneficiary if that works out.

There's a lot more to say, but I gotta work.

Others can agree or disagree.

It's a free world.

Hmmmm.....thieves calling unto thieves

May the Lord have mercy on the innocent, because they did nothing to bring this scourge upon this country.

May those who did and still support this rule of oppression reap the fullness of their reward.

In fact, is he not a one-man cabal?

MONEY247:
I was speaking with a lady colleague and she shared with me a story about her husband...
According to her she said she does everything, I mean everything for her husband...
From sexual needs to food to respect to whatever you can think of...to please him.

When she discovered/suspected he was cheating she went on to learn various sexual styles, even to the extent of watching pornography... just to make the bedroom game sweet for her husband....

This man still went ahead continuing the affair outside the marriage...
She threatened to leave the marriage and call it quits when he came back to his senses...
And became the family Man...
I can tell this woman is still beautiful, she keeps herself clean and classy....

My question is this, what makes a married man to commit adultery or cheat...
Just what...

Man wey you fight other girls to marry, you no know say de other girls dey one corner dey wait for dia turn?

See, in the vast majority cases, it's just a continuation of life prior to marriage, nothing else!

Why do men cheat?

BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY CHEATING BEFORE MARRIAGE! SIMPLE!

LordBiden:
Jesus is not an ordinary mortal,he is the son of God so they can't be compared.

When you set up your own ministry you can hand over to your assistant.

The same way German Reinhard Bonnke handed over to American Daniel Colenda who was volunteering at the ministry warehouse when they met, abi?

The same way Baba Akindayomi handed over to Pastor Adeboye who isn't his son or son-in-law?

Anyway, as long as the hand of God is in the matter, all will be well. If it's man's affair all through, it can have a disastrous outcome.

Clement Hastrup A king without a Yoruba name

Almost all northern traditional rulers use Arabic names, too, so, what's your point?

AndroBlaze:
And so.....if you are Yoruba (or even African) you should know our names fulfil the function of telling outsiders who we are (or were) or (and) where we are going or intend to be...so what exactly is your problem.

Also I've never met a black Haastrup that wasn't Yoruba, so what exactly is the issue here?

No mind dem.....what's the problem with names?

What of the Northern Emirs who don't use Arabic names?

1Alex:
Among the 8 front-runners, the strongest candidates seem to be:

1. Cardinal Pietro Parolin

Why?

He’s Italian — traditionally, Italians have historically been favored (most popes were Italian before John Paul II broke the trend in 1978).

He’s already the Vatican’s Secretary of State, meaning he is extremely powerful, trusted, and experienced in Church diplomacy.

He is a moderate, meaning he can appeal to both conservatives and progressives — very important when trying to unite cardinals from very different parts of the world.

Bookmakers and Vatican watchers have been tipping him for a while, meaning inside information supports his chances.


Risk? Some cardinals might want a more "global" Pope (like an African, Asian, or Latin American) instead of another European.

2. Cardinal Luis Tagle

Why?

He’s known as the "Asian Pope Francis," meaning he shares the late Pope’s softer, compassionate approach.

If the cardinals want to continue Francis's legacy, Tagle would be a natural choice.

Choosing him would make him the first Asian Pope, sending a strong signal about the global nature of the Church (Asia has huge Catholic populations, especially in the Philippines).

He is well-liked personally — humble, media-friendly, and speaks good English.


Risk? Some very conservative cardinals may find him too liberal, and his relatively younger age (67) could mean a long reign — which not every voting cardinal wants.

3. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi

Why?

Italian, again (location helps).

Very close to Pope Francis and seen as his "spiritual son."

A bridge-builder: he worked on peace missions (Russia-Ukraine peace initiative), which shows diplomatic skills.

Progressive on LGBTQ and marginalized groups — which would continue Francis’s tone.


Risk? Some conservatives in the conclave might resist him because of his liberal positions.

Less likely candidates:

Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Eijk are too hardline conservative — the majority of cardinals today were appointed by Pope Francis, who leaned more moderate and liberal.

Cardinal Besungu has strong African support but his outright opposition to Pope Francis's teachings might hurt him in this conclave.

Cardinal Erdo is strong but has made some very controversial statements (especially about refugees) that could alienate moderate voters.

Cardinal Grech is respected but a bit too "low-key" compared to others.

If I had to bet, Cardinal Parolin is the most likely winner.
If cardinals want continuity with a global flavor, Luis Tagle could be a surprise pick.
If they want an Italian with strong Francis ties but not too radical, Zuppi is right there.

If Pietro Cardinal Parolin becomes the Pope, then it's officially the end times.

There's a centuries-old prophecy of popes ascendancies at the end times, and the last Pope was called "Peter the Roman".

The internet will be abuzz for weeks!

You are always on the side of injustice.


One day it will be you and no one will side you.

Continue !

I'm on the side of peace and an end to the war.

It's obvious you don't know that these countries see war as a business enterprise.

If you really know what has transpired among these greedy Europeans and the Biden government with regards to the war, you will applaud Trump for all he's done.

I wonder why you term an unwillingness to prosecute war as "injustice".

Trash talk

Sebi people on Twitter alleged that he was supplementing his income through other means.

Dude was already a billionaire before becoming king, Bro.....

ALTERNATEID:
At least, Trump is more respectful and humble this time around unlike their first ever chaotic meeting.

Zelenskyy grossly disrespected Trump the first time around, which was why Trump and Vance gave it to him the way they did.

He arrived without formal garb for a formal meeting. Try to dress like he did for a corporate job interview and see if the panel won't lecture you harshly and send you away. Say even less of the White House.

This second meeting isn't at the White House, so Trump is respecting his hosts. Zelenskyy, as usual, is just being childish with these stupid clothes he always shows up in.

More importantly, Zelenskyy was supposed to visit the President of The United States. Why did he first go and visit opposition members of the Congress? Do you think Trump didn't know he went to see some Democrat Members of Congress first before coming to the White House?

Anyway, I'm sure you get the picture.

You learnt fuji music from Micheal Jackson and P. Daddy

Don't mind the he-goat.

He lived with a practicing Fuji musician but he picked nothing from him, even though he became a Fuji musician himself.

Where e come learn?

Fuji dey dull IQ, I swear!

Fuji music is the stupidest, most overrated noise that can be called music on earth.

The "music" of touts, thugs, area boys and other miscreants, music wey dey kill brain cells, music wey dey dull IQ.

The only "music" genre where the players actively hate each other and go to great lengths to vilify, abuse or even kill each other by diabolical means.

The "music" where each player declares that he is the "king of music" and all they do is copy other people's songs, except they make them sound bad.

Stupid cacophony that some people call music.
