2 Questionable Penalties, One offside goal.....

Do you know how much money UEFA would have lost if Barca did not win
It all about the money, forget all the football drama......There teams that most make it to at least semi/quarter final if UEFA need to make profit

Raiders:
Africans are barbaric. Why kill your fellow human because of their ethnic or religious beliefs

Bros...it has nothing to do with Africans.....same ish is happening all over the world....it just human nature of us versus them

Kingspin:
An economist, Dr Anthony Aziegbemi, described the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) latest strategy of strengthening the value of Naira by injecting excess foreign currencies into the market, as an artificial solution.

Aziegbemi said this on Wednesday in Abuja at a round-table on the “Way out of Recession’’, organised by Value Fronteira Limited.



The CBN, in the last two weeks, injected over 1.14 billion dollars through the inter-bank market, to meet legitimate demand of foreign currencies for travels, school fees and medicals.

Through this, the CBN hopes to strengthen the value of Naira and simultaneously crash the demand at the black market segment.

“Right now CBN is pumping so much Forex because it has the money. But once the money dries up, we are back to square one.

“Economics is a social science, thus contains laws that govern how economies should be run.

“If you don’t follow these laws and you do it artificially, like banning of the 41 items from getting foreign exchange, the economy won’t work as expected.

“You need to attack the foundation of the economy. You need to get the manufacturing industry up and moving. That is the only way we will have sustainable progress,’’ he said.

Aziegbemi said that the right way to strengthen the Naira was to invest in critical infrastructure and ensure that the manufacturing and agriculture sector got the necessary support to grow.

In proffering solution out of recession, Aziegbemi called for the downward review of the current monetary policy rate.

He recalled that with obvious signs of recession and rising inflation, instead of lowering the monetary rate, the CBN instead, raised it from 11 per cent to 12 per cent and later to 14 per cent.

He said that countries that successfully came out of recession had lowered their monetary policy rates during such trying times to encourage spending.

He cited the case of China, Ethiopia, India, Malaysia, Poland, Mexico and Turkey that reduced lending rate, increased spending and used fiscal policy to stimulate demand in the face of collapsing global demand.

“The Monetary Policy Committee needs to cut down the monetary policy rate to at least 8 per cent.

“ The cause of inflation is our over dependence on foreign products and not excess liquidity. So raising the lending rate has made less money available in the system and more difficult to drag the economy out of recession.

“What we need to do is to reduce the lending rate rather than tightening people’s hands,’’ he said

Aziegbemi advised the government to continue to pay special attention to agriculture and agric-businesses, work on enhancing the sources of Forex and ensure better fiscal and monetary policy coordination.

He canvassed for amnesty for treasury looters, to allow voluntary return of looted funds and encourage government to commence immediate implementation of projects and programmes that would stimulate the economy.

Lol....what a whole load of crap.....such clueless writeup
This fellow obviously does not understand jack

No wonder the older generation won't hand over leadership to the younger generation.

Simple comprehension is a problem. I also blame the OP for the nonsense. The article talks of .ng websites. That is websites hosted here in Nigeria. Which of the fore mentioned platforms is hosted in Nigeria. And people are just busy typing nonsense.

In as much as the service from the South African Embassy is appalling.

The Nigerian one is worse, and I don't see us having any morale justification in calling them out, when we are no better.

Best we channel our energies in calling ourselves out and fixing our own appalling issues.

Sorry to say but....the whatsapp shows the name clearly....what was the point of trying to hide it

BigBelleControl:
Even the combination of Messi and Neymar can't produce the quality of that goal. The little magician, Onuoha's sublime pass to Sikiru Olatunbosun who flick the ball over a Ranger's defender before putting a long range shot to the corner of the net brought a a sweet memory of Zidane.

Neymar, scored a similar goal against Villarreal last year.

SweetBoyFriend:

What would those Danfo drivers do when you take those buses away from them ??

Do you want them to go back to their Omo Nile job ??

Lagos would become a no-go area if those men are stripped off of their danfo business

You will turn those men into Arm robbers, kidnappers, money rituals, 419, drug dealers

This is why we will never ever ban Okada or motorcycle business in Anambra state, millions of families depend on the business

When okada, was banned in Lagos, who die....People will adjust and nothing will happen
If people in your side don't want development thats fine......

Very interesting.....Did anyone notice
The fight was because he said the president was sick.....They totally forgot about the issue of rising political tension in Kano that was brought to the fore.

Goes to show you the priorities of our politician.....
They don't care about the masses, its all just about politics as far as they are concerned

What are people complaining about......I see no issue with the whistle blowing.
The only problem with it is that it should be done and channeled the right way.
That is, whistle blow to the right authorities and let whoever is involved show that his/her means of wealth is legitimate, what is not acceptable is going to press with unconfirmed allegations.

Its seen across the world were people who show unexplained amount of wealth are questioned.

Even the other day Davido was stating how he was questioned by police officers in the USA due to his display of wealth.....
So whats the noise about......if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear

londonrivals:
An expatriate has been arrested by officers of the Lagos state police command, for breaking traffic laws of the State.

The Mantra protection solution boss, who was in a black Toyota jeep while being escorted to work with a white hilux van, was arrested for disobeying the traffic light and also using the siren illegally. He's now cooling off in the police station.

If the guy no get una room, me i go get una room

I saw this post in another thread and I thought it was worth discussing about.
Does this perception of the African man by Lord Lugard, hold water.......is this this right. What are our thoughts about his views

Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery.

His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue.

In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"


Guys lets discuss the thoughts of Lord Lugard. he had a supremacist view obviously. But is he right in the way he describes Nigerians and Africans in general? How many of the issues that he raises are valid?

Letz get some responses

Vintage man with vintage ideas

Ideas that only affect his life, when will he start doing things that will bring posh-ness to Nigerian lives

At Ieast I have not sown evil but good so I will only reap good.

So if you have nothing reasonable to submit, don't quote me.Be warned.

You have been quoted. SO what now

What a thing to say....would he have said this if it was his daughter.....what kind of nonsense are we indulging in this country.....As morals totally gone out the window.....where is the dignity.....where is her pride as a woman and a human being......So its okay to sell ones dignity for a little tast e of fame......men, i shake my head

Other Nigerian musicians who have gone topless to promote their studio work include Darey Art Alade

Meanwhile what has this got to do with anything. There is no big issue in a man going topless......same cannot be said about a woman

What is it with women and nudity sef.........

Men fit were reach five shirt, ten trousers.....meanwhile the women na string them one wear....
Can't just understand

No photo's of the soldiers.....this might be a losing case. Picture of a guy lying on the floor is not sufficient for us to conclude that he was maltreated by soldiers.,,

Berbierklaus:
Actually that girl is wearing yansh pad

not that I wear one o,but looking at the entire waist to the laps,that's not her real body.

Body shaper gone wrong

Totally Agree

hmm

Vicjustice:
The article seems to have been written by a Cobbler rather than a Journalist

Bro, its like you read my mind.
Since we declared freedom of speech in Nigeria, na so, so

What a bunch of jokers.....Do they thinks is something you just pronounce just like that...

But then again maybe they want to release all the dollar in their procession back into the economy

bezimo:
In addition to doing what you have stated, he also has the moral responsibility to stand up to parochial, oppressive and tyrannic type of leadership. You cant be oppressing people and not expect to be challenged at some point.

Its people like you who are the problems of this country, hailing the useless Islamic Buhari leadership which has become a monumental failure in untellable proportions.The worst in Nigeria thus far.

Look at the country, was this how it was when he took over.He has retrogressed everything.You are here yarning senseless garbage.

Abeg get out.

One word for you you will reap all that you have sown

Ksslib:
I still remember that day. The memory of what happened still scars my flesh to this day.

As i walked down the lonely street that night, two hooded men - both wielding knives - appeared from nowhere and blocked my path.

"Give it to us", the huge, muscular guy commanded, stretching his hand.

"But I cant", I replied, squeezing my bag tightly to my chest like a pillow.

"Give us the goddamn package" he thundered. I could sense the impatience in his voice.

"No, I cant" I answered back.

He lunged towards me with his knife. I tried to dodge but he was too quick . His blade cut through my flesh and I began bleeding.

I fell to the ground but managed to escape through the opening under his legs as he stood above me figuring where to stab me next before collecting the package inside my bag.

As I staggered home all soaked in blood, I received a text from the General.

"Is the package secure?"

I looked inside my bag and smiled. "Package secure sir. All ffucks are in place... No single fffuck given to the enemy"

Lol, Brilliant
