World Class? Relative to what World. Please I'd rather not abeg, today na Christmas. post=85193729: |
I think his handlers are getting it all wrong really. Agreed, I know as a blackman he will never be thoroughly loved in the UK, just as Lewis Hamilton is not thoroughly loved despite being British born and raised. However, I think he is making a big mistake by planning to do this. He does not need the support of the Major General in Chief. He may rep us but he only does on the side, he mainly reps the UK and reasonably so. He should focus on his next couple fights and give us a Wilder and/or Fury match. brownnikky16: |
I saw it and I was kinda sensitive to it too. But you need to remember, we are just famzing. How many people from Nigeria travelled to see the fight or did Pay Per View? How did Nigerian support make him into who he is today? How many AJ original merchandise do we buy in Nigeria? Getting angry that he did not acknowledge support from naija post match is akin to the girlfriend who is jealous her ex is doing fine with another babe. Also, he definitely has fans from several countries across the world whom he did not acknowledge. For me, using Femi and Fela Anikulapo Kuti as his entrance songs was enough naija repping. Anymore and he would have been betrayed the UK for a country who did not make him and barely contributes to his earnings. mzBEAM: |
It is just that simple. LabDNA: |
Your own job is to spread anti-yoruba sentiment. How the hell does what you said even relate to the story that was posted? NaijaOlosho: |
Actually Ruiz has been the one making all the noise, AJ has been the more silent of the two aside from his usual YouTube channel. The match will be one to watch but my money is on AJ. Every Boxing Great (Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Roy Jones, Lennox Lewis, Frazier) has had their boogeymen/moments of defeat, how they rose from such is what defined them. MelesZenawi: |
Sorry but how is Air Peace positioning or positioned to directly compete with any American interest in the aviation sector? As airline operators, they do not have the clout to even compete with mid-sized airline operating companies in Africa, talk less of the USA. I think what you have just mentioned is false. Now do not get me wrong, I am not exonerating the USA. Given their very checkered history, the US of A is capable of just about any and every underhanded deed you can imagine. But I struggle to see how this relates to that. It is very possible Mr Onyeama is guilty of the crimes he has been charged with and this is not connected to any sinister plot or motive. To a reasonable extent, the law enforcement agencies in the USA are seen as independent in the discharge of their duties and in their composition. Not saying they have not been found to sometimes play foul but I doubt in this man's case. Most businessmen in Nigeria are actually guilty of what Mr Onyeama is accused of. Almajiri1: |
Is that how you do it? NaijaOlosho: |
You just described a strong man and ofcourse Nigerians are always attracted to the myth of the strong, infallible, unshakeable man, we even water at the mouth mentioning these types but bros I do not see in anyway, shape or form how who or what you described helps Nigeria and Nigerians out of the sorry state in which we find ourselves today. emkz: |
Burna Boy is currently one of the hottest selling Nigerian and African artistes'. The cancellation is South Africans loss not Burna Boys', I am 100% certain he does not need proceeds from this particular show to improve his net worth neither does he need South African fans. He is most likely overbooked at the moment especially coming off the heels of his recent awards (nominations and wins). His popularity came from making music the Nigerian way with a Nigerian blend to it and with that he is clearly conquering the world and is only quite frankly beginning. So if I were him I would not lose any sleep over South Africa or its 56 million people when there are so many out there to reach and so much more to make. I do not know why he reneged on his initial promise to never set foot on South Africa soil. My guess was that he was trying to spread love (not hate) but as you can see, the whole world clearly knows exactly what South Africa stands for. The country is akin to a rabid dog especially its blacks who seem to see other blacks as their enemy despite the restraint urged by some of it's well respected leaders such as Julius Malema.

Finally, congrats sir. EMMAACHILE: |
If you can kindly complete the roads within Nigeria first such as the East-West Road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, 2nd Niger Bridge to mention a few which are way shorter in length than the proposed road, then we will believe you Mr Dishnourable Minister of Works and Housing. Same way this n***a said that Badagry-Mile2-Iganmu and Lekki-Epe expressways would be completed within his tenure as Lagos State Governor. Lying piece of s**t. |
That is how rich people roll. They will never really tell you the intoto, they will only tell you what you want to hear. SarkinYarki: |
The balls on this guy, really! I can bet you guys that this dishonourable Minister barely travels by road and even when he does it is in tinted V8 Jeeps, well padded that the passengers can barely feel the bad portions of the roads. He should come and look at the kangaroo road contracts he awarded during his tenure as Lagos State Governor, barely 10 year old roads and thanks to the heavy downpour this past rainy season, they have all gone bad. I can also bet you guys that this man barely lives in Nigeria, think I'm lying ask for his itinerary for the year. As Governor he spent over half of the year outside the country. And these are the men we are supposed to have faith in, the men we are supposed to trust with our collective futures. So I am not surprised that he is making these unkind and mischievous statements. |
Bitter Female Alert!!! GrabHisBalls: |
Sir, please how large and what state are you farming? KingOpe: |
Did you attempt to do a soil test before planting on that land? [quote author=Alberttahir post=82820682][/quote] |
I am just seeing this, thank you for your feedback. Please may I ask further what state you are planting and what are you farming for: leaf or seed? If seed, how has your experience been like. I plan on experimenting in Ogun State starting early next year God willing. I know people in that axis that farm moringa for leaf but I am yet to meet with anyone that does it for seed. So I am trying to understand the challenges involved in trying to plant in a state like Ogun that has more rainfall than say an average Northern state (which is where it is said to be favourable to grow Moringa). You may ask why Ogun? Well that's the only place I was able to find securely fenced land for a good bargain. I do appreciate any suggestions, feedback and advice from anyone on the thread. Thanks guys let's keep up the good work. Alberttahir: |
No it is not. EFCC got the tip from Interpol, I am pretty sure they were under pressure to arrest him. Prior to this time, I can bet the guy had been in and out of the country with no hassle whatsoever from the EFCC. What would count as a landmark achievement for the EFCC? Hmmnn, let's see. A Tafa Balogun high profile type arrest. Arrest a serving or erstwhile serving high profile corrupt politician then you have my thumbs up. |
Count yourself and your generation to be lucky if you find your greatness even at its peak to be equal to his uselessness. MelesZenawi: |
I do not rubbish Nigeria, I rubbish silly, childish cheatbeating. There are countries out there that have more to be proud of than we do, they do not engage in this self-adulatory attitude. They just put their heads down and keep working like it's normal. That is the spirit of true champions, to celebrate in the moment but thereafter to work on doing better. Wole Soyinka belongs to a different era when Nigeria had some semblance of sanity and looked like it was heading somewhere as a country. Anthony Joshua would never be who he is today without the enabling environment that the UK afforded him. The likes of Dangote are responsible for what this country is today however I do not begrudge him that is what businessmen do they take advantage of opportunity. And I shall not join you in celebrating Tiwa, Davido and Wizkid (I wish them success in their endeavours, I harbour no ill-will towards them). The fact that these are our greatest exports on the world stage today just pretty much proves the point I am trying to make. We ought to be making strides in all walks of life, particularly in the areas that matter right now and will matter in the future that this world is heading today. We have the human resources, which is why you see our people from just about any tribe going abroad and making a headway for themselves (and we have no right to lay claim to such individuals, Nigeria cannot claim it made them who they are, most if not all of them never want to come back when they leave so like it or not, they are lost forever, we have given them to the Western powers that be) but we lack the environment that helps nurture and grow such talented individuals. As for Mr Omoboriowo's gesture, it is a good initiative as I personally believe people who have made something of themselves in a society such as ours, owe it to society to give something back but I will leave it at that and here is why. We do not know if there are ulterior motives to his gesture? In my experience, when we see such moves they are usually followed by political office desires. It is kind of akin to the christmas chicken one buys and fattens up just to kill it and make jollof rice. I think philanthropic gestures are best done in private, let your work speak for you and let the heads of those you have blessed continue to pray for you. Anything else is fanfare but then again I cannot tell Mr Omoboriowo how to spend his money, I can only give my view. I stand by my earlier comments, if we do not tell ourselves the truth, not just the leaders of this country, but the people on every level, then guaranteed with the kind of framework other African countries are laying down, it will not be long before we start borrowing from the likes of Rwanda, Kenya and Botswana to finance our wastefulness. You ask me to make things happen with you in making Nigeria great. Sorry to say but I think you are a bit naive. Either this or we are living in two different countries. I may be a bit privy to what goes on around political circles and I guarantee you, if these same politicians are the ones you are depending on to make things better, then my suggestion is to look elsewhere. Nigeria is in an impossible situation and no help seems to be on the horizon. The people are helpless, the politicians are creating problems faster than they can solve. It is sad but this is the truth, this is my view. Personally, I believe in restructuring this country to either have strong regions and a weak centre or for each region to each go their separate ways. This will not solve all the problems but it will atleast have taken care of some of it. Peace. candidtalk: |
I have been to both countries but I do not have any plans to relocate to either. My home is the South Western part of Nigeria and I have a stake here to making it a better place for all. But in order to achieve such, we have to stop this senseless and childish chest beating of largest this, biggest that. Such talk often shrouds our collective view from the reality that is on ground. Perhaps if we are more honest with ourselves, then and only then can this country (so-called) move forward. candidtalk: |
2nd largest economy with nothing to show for. I'd rather be a Rwanda or a Botswana. Quiet, yet steadily developing with a proper blueprint for success not a Nigeria where more noise upon empty noise is made but nothing to show for. iammo: |
Needless to state, I am a Yoruba muslim, Kwara and Ogun (since you have decided to wave the ethnic card, well there you go) and my views are my views. the kay is short for kehinde not chinedu. I do not have a thing to prove to you but I will state my views, maybe you will learn a thing or two in the process The sad part with Nigeria and Nigerians is the need to do what you just did. If we cannot and do not agree, must we then resort to silly stereotypes and diatribes of the other person? 1) you ask what led to the pogrom, on the surface of it, sure you can point to the coup and it's obvious lopsidedness, but deeper than that and if you are sincere, you will agree that there was an animosity by other tribes toward the igbo at that time in nigeria. This was due to the incontrovertible fact that the perception was that Igbos were at the forefront of everything. #3 tribe but were strategically placed, well educated, had more affluent people than the other two main tribes in Nigeria. So the pogrom of the ordinary Northerner attacking the ordinary SEasterner, instigated and carefully orchestrated by Northern Leaders (spiritual and political) was borne out of this mindset. Also, even before then the North, specifically Kano in 1953, had always shown its penchant for mindless bloodletting. Guess what, as it was then so it became in Kaduna, Plateau and other Northern cities till present day. Now back to the coup, as I mentioned earlier the coup was lopsided and I believe the SEastern officers (and some SWesterners) paid dearly with their lives. What happened afterward? In the first coup did Nzeogwu and his gang encourage Southerners to attack Northerners? It was a purely military affair and should have been as such. Instead, Northern leaders were openly encouraging the average Northerner to attack the SEasterners. Even after the accords, which came much after Ironsi and co were cleared out, there was still bloodshed for no reason whatsoever. 2.) You ask if the reverse had been the case, well the reverse was never the case so we will never know we may only speculate. But if you were to ask me, I do not think the average SEastern leadership would be open to inciting violence on a mass scale like the Northern counterparts did. I could be wrong but I am saying this based on precedence, the Northerners (under the leadership of the Hausa/Fulani) have never been a peaceful people. There are good Northerners, as there are good people everywhere but the leadership, the powers that be, the forever men, are the same ones who have held us together for our own selfish end. Now the above was not even the meat of my initial comment and I still restate, if Nigeria is the way it is because of the hegemony imposed upon ALL by these same Northern Leaders (ofcourse in full conjunction with some of my brothers in the South). So my suggestion is simple and straightforward, restructure Nigeria to have stronger regions and a very weak centre or split Nigeria. richie240: |
It is quite sad that threads such as these that ought to help us learn the truth about what happened usually descend into a tribalistic tirade. The truth of the matter is and like it or not, Ojukwu, Banjo and Awolowo, were great men and I can bet you that 99% of the people typing away on this thread may never achieve an inch of what these men achieved in their lifetime. It is very easy to point fingers and criticise, very easy to throw stones. Ojukwu did what he felt was right for his people and the evidence available suggested perhaps he did not have much of a choice because the Federal Gov of Nigeria kept breaking every agreement reached to ease tensions then. Igbos were being slaughtered in the North in reprisals for the coup (which was purely a military affair). He was the highest ranking military officer from the SE, he had to do something and he did. I salute him for the fact that he took a stand (even though stories would emerge that he caught wind of the fact that oil was already discovered in the SS in commercial quantities, perhaps he wanted to secede because of oil whilst being backed by Russia and France). Regardless, I salute the man. However, it is also common knowledge that Ojukwu was far from perfect. It is said that he became paranoid at some point during the war. Perhaps this paranoia led to him executing some of his own of which Banjo was among. Kaduna Nzeogwu too and others. It was said that Banjo, Nzeogwu and the rest of the coup plotters were not really loyal to Biafra, they were loyal to their original idea which led to the coup and maybe they were trying to see this idea through. We will never know the truth. Anyone who talks from either side (Banjos or Ojukwus) will only peddle narratives that suit their own purpose. Personally, I feel Awolowo should not have sided with the Federal Gov of Nigeria. He had the clout and influence. If perhaps he stayed neutral, he could have forced the FGN to restructure the country away from the unitary system of government and we would have either gone our separate ways or made the centre as weak as possible. You may disagree with me but I believe it was at this moment, that we could have had what I think would have put us on the path of real freedom and a means of true self-governance. It was at this moment we could have broken free from british tyranny through their proxies in Northern Nigeria. But the low hanging fruit is always tempting, always (the temptation to become President over all of Nigeria). Awolowo remains one of my personal heroes for his political philosophy and governance during the old western region but he was far from perfect and I think this moment in time highlights one of his mistakes. In closing, Nigeria and the Presidency, reminds me of the famed iron thrones from the TV series "Game of Thrones". The ones who has desired it and truly deserved it very rarely get there. Some who get there by chance, are removed. The only ones who get there and remain there are those who are pragmatic enough to do what is needed. Overall, Nigeria is not working and will never work (my view, please respect, don't argue). Either we restructure this country to have a very weak centre or we split it and each go their own separate way. Agree a payout with the ND to help each region stabilise their economies, and let everyone go fend for themselves. |
As much as I understand the message he was trying to pass across, he and his ilk should please shut it. The political class have nothing to teach the people of this country. There goes a man who has been in government in one form or another since 1999, coming to tell Nigerians about Hardwork and Prayer. Same man who while he was governor was busy awarding street roads of less than 10km at 200m to 500m naira. Lekki-Epe Expressway, a 50km road awarded at 1 billion naira per kilometre, just for expansion and rehabilitation, yet the job was never even completed 30%. Same man who promised severally to have the Lagos Metro Train project ready before his tenure ends, same project does not even look like it will be completed anytime soon. This was someone, who whilst campaigning for Ambode was going around Alimosho LG sharing Noodles and Sweets. I can go on and on. Fashola as a lawyer, for all of his emotional intelligence, should atleast know what to say and what not to say. These are trying times for most Nigerians and it is clear that the power and money he has is getting to his head. Nigerians in truth tend to be quite religious and often call God on matters they can handle themselves. This may be true but I think it is fair that we go a step further and look at the issue deeply. It is a general fact that people from 3rd world countries who are challenged economically and otherwise tend to be more religious, this is not peculiar to Nigeria alone it is a global phenomena. Why are we still in a pitiable s**thole state? Well, perhaps we can ask men like him and his godfather who are skilled in the art of siphoning funds meant for our collective development and relocating it outside the shores of this country. The major reason why we are so religious is because of our underdevelopment. If he wishes that Nigerians become less religious, then he should do his part. Atleast he has the capacity being that he is in a position of power and privilege. He should do his job with all sincerity and then let's see if people will not have jobs, earn a decent living and gradually dump this veil of religiosity while being able to think for themselves and make logical decisions. I do not say he started the issues I listed above however I can confidently say he has done little or nothing to solve them. KingGBsky: |
I am a muslim by the way. Orllynolekzii: |
Ogun is not balanced, Christian's are in the majority, I'd say a 65-35. Osun it's a 70-30 split and Oyo its maybe a 65-35. And we already know Christian's in Ekiti are 98-2 and Ondo 70-30. For Lagos, if we look at the people who live there, it's definitely a 70-30. How would I know? Well, i tend to move around alot and i have lived in all of the SW states over the entire course of my life, and that includes Kwara as well which is 95-5 muslim. So I really don't know why anyone would suggest that Muslims are in the majority in the SW. I get that Muslims would like to be in the majority and they are actively working to be in the majority, especially the illiterate muslims sowing seeds everywhere without care but Muslims are not in the majority in the SW of Nigeria. It just appears to be because they are in firm control of the ruling party's political structure of the SW and they more often than not, have shown that they will vote along religious lines (as seen in Osun state specifically, though we can argue that Aregbesola actively introduced this into the politics of that state and he brought out the worst elements from within the Muslim cohorts from the Iwo, Ede and Osogbo axis, a crime I'll always hold against him and which will still come back to haunt him even as he seeks to take up the mantle from Tinubu as leader of the political machinery of the SW Alternatively, when Akande was governor he never sought to make it about religion despite him being a Muslim, a man I truly respect and admire) But overall, I don't know how religion helps us achieve our objectives of being better and doing better for ourselves. It's all about hate, hate and hate. Separation, discrimination and division. That is the only thing religion has been good for as far as we are concerned. DandyWalker: |
My point exactly. This is what our Pastors and Fathers in the lord should do more of. Criticise government constructively whenever they have the opportunity to. Even though I know this changes nothing cos the issue with our leaders is akin to the dog which intends to get lost, it will never hear the hunter's whistle. Richdad50: |
