i suggest that Mr President reverse all the pardons except the ones for the dead. We evidently don't know what a pardon implies. Was he supposed to pardon imams, priests and babies?
BTW, A drug lord, drug baron, kingpin, or lord of drugs is a type of crime boss in charge of a drug trafficking network, organization, or enterprise. We just bandy words and numbers about here.

While opposition have been spreading misinformation that he and his boss have been having a clash of head. The type of opposition you have been playing for over ten years which has got you no results. As they say, it is only a type of people that keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. If you keep playing irresponsible opposition, you will keep getting irresponsible results.

Dear Nairalanders,

We are ramping things up. Here are some things we have done recently:

1. We gave Nairaland's theme a little facelift, fixing buttons, pagination, separators, and other little things.

2. We implemented a dark mode for Nairaland with the most intuitive UX: a sun toggle on your upper right.

3. We further relaxed the minimum character rule because many people were still struggling with it.

We are also trying to make our moderation bot (aka antispam bot) more accurate. Bear with us on that.

What else do you want us to work on?

Best Regards.

In football, we love fairy tales, the 17-year-old prodigy breaking records, the teenage sensation scoring on his debut, or the young star earning a dream move to a top club before he’s old enough to rent a car. But every now and then, a story comes along that reminds us that greatness doesn’t always arrive early. Sometimes, it comes to those who wait, grind, and grow in the shadows.

That’s exactly what Jean-Philippe Mateta’s journey represents, the story of a player who refused to let time define his destiny.

Mateta’s rise is a reminder that success in life, and in football, is rarely linear. Some players peak early, others blossom late. What matters is consistency, focus, and the belief that your moment will come if you keep putting in the work.

Humble Beginnings: From the French Third Division
At 20, while some of his peers were already lighting up the big leagues, Mateta was playing in France’s third division with LB Châteauroux. It was far from glamorous, long bus rides, modest crowds, and a footballing world that didn’t always notice the quiet achievers.

But Mateta wasn’t discouraged. The powerful striker kept improving, showing flashes of promise that earned him a move to Le Havre in Ligue 2. There, he began to refine his game, his movement, composure, and power in front of goal. Each season was a step forward, not backward.

The Bundesliga Leap
By 21, Mateta’s patience paid off. German Bundesliga side Mainz 05 came calling in 2018, handing him a platform to prove himself among Europe’s elite. It was a huge leap for a player who, just a few years earlier, was toiling in the lower tiers of French football.

At Mainz, he grew tougher, learning to battle seasoned defenders, sharpen his finishing, and adjust to the tactical demands of German football. His breakout performances didn’t go unnoticed, and soon, the English Premier League beckoned.

The Premier League Dream
At 23, Mateta made the switch to Crystal Palace, first on loan and then permanently. It wasn’t a fairy tale debut, he had to fight for minutes, adapt to a new pace, and prove he belonged among some of the world’s best forwards.

But Mateta’s career was never about instant success. It was about consistency, work ethic, and resilience. Season after season, he quietly improved, earning the respect of teammates, coaches, and fans.
By 2024–25, his form spoke louder than ever. His goals became crucial for Palace, and his name, once overlooked, started making headlines.

The Reward at 28
Then came the crowning moment. In October 2025, at the age of 28, Jean-Philippe Mateta received his first-ever call-up to the French national team.

It was a moment of triumph not just for him, but for every player who has ever been told “it’s too late.” In a country overflowing with attacking talent Mateta’s inclusion sent a powerful message: persistence pays off.
His story reminds us that football isn’t always about who arrives first. Sometimes, it’s about who refuses to stop showing up.

Ilobet celebrates stories like this because in football, just like in life, it’s all about timing, belief, and smart choices.

Stop talking nonsense! A journalist is there to present burning issues of public concern to the guest! They're not lords! They're there to serve the public, not take sides and become opposition parties mouthpiece. A journalist that has taken sides cannot be respected!

You might get arrested for this very inciteful and provocative comment of yours!

Because you're a public servant doesn't mean your rights can be trampled upon! Oseni should go for professionalism. He can still ask those same questions politely or professionally. Journalist should not be using words like "I put it to you that". They're not supposed to take sides. Just ask the questions then allow the audience to decide if they're satisfied with the answer or not. They're not supposed to be arguing with the guest.
The minister is in a better position to give information about his ministry not the other way round.

Misterone:
Just because you're a journalist doesn't give you the right to be rude when asking questions. There's a way you ask politely. And you are taught this in the school of journalism.

I live in phase 1 and I go out a lot so I come across some people at times ..like Mercy she is always in Eko hotel , she even drive a Lambo ,used to drive one dark GLE coupe a long time ago ...she is not hungry abeg

Lifestone:
Was Oseni not rude with his arrogant posturing? Being an online personality and asking hard questions does not say Rufai should not to be polite to his guests. Seun Osinbaloye's questions are probably tougher.
Umahi was already a successful Engineer before Rufai finish secondary school, he was a former Governor and much Older than him. You can ask your questions without arrogance and rudeness.
I watch that program and was really piss off at Oseni, I completely agree with how Umahi handled him. Next time, Umahi should send his SA on media to answer Oseni questions.
Being an anchor person does not put the two of them at the same level

Lifestone:
He should show respect to his guests. Oseni behaves like a child trying to get validation from the public, his argument are sometimes childish and he tries too much on occasions to impress.
Agree that Umahi is a public servant and should be accountable, but you can only have issues if he didn't answer your question, insisting he must answer your question in the manner you want shows lack of maturity.
Which mentality makes you to be rude to your guest. On many instances, Rufai trie to make hos guests look bad.
Bye the way Oseni brought the issue of reporting to Mr President up. Before Umahi answered, i was already shouting who is Rufai for a Minister to be reporting him to Mr President.
I was happy that Umahi put him where he belong
I cant speak for Wike or Umahi at another time but on this issue with Oseni, i asked again who is Oseni!
