Speak for your culture if you are not knowledgeable about more popular kings outside your culture. There is no such thing as one king being more superior to another simply because they are from a large ethnic group. That doesn't make them powerful

Ovie of Ughelli, seriously?
I be Urhobo/Isoko from Umolo and I nor even know say Ughelli get Ovie.

I don’t understand. Is she supposed to be doing this with excitement or is this silver lining thing?🤷🏻‍♂️

TheStrongest:
Lol!!
Delusional..
You've NEVER smelled that trophy in your existence.

You were only masking your hate and disappointment with PSR 😂😂😂..

No worriy, I go buy calculator give you make you take dey count una money..

Shameless!!!

Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that 😁😁😁

PROFITABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY IS EVERYTHING .
PSR is not just for the owners to calculate. It’s for everyone because that’s how you lose home grown talent.
Why do you think Chelsea sold Conor Gallarga and Mason Mount?
Why do you think Man U sold Mctominay?
Why do you think City sold Cole Palmer?
The answer is PSR.
A few years ago, these clubs would never have sold those players because the owners have the money and don’t care.
Fans will be angry at the club for selling without knowing this vital information.
Most dumb fans like you don’t know this.
Your eyes go clear.

TopBanter:
That is APC's prayers. That Atiku continues to be your "leader" who will lead you into a burial grave whose site no one will be able to locate.

Please keep following Atiku your "leader" off the edge of the cliff as the creatures below, i.e Lemmings, are famous for doing.

Bro, this your picture is describing Tinubu’s administration.

brain54:
I am not saying it's a great salary...

It's fair.


But why do the guys above have to convert to dollar and pound like that's the currency spent in Nigeria!

If you understand the slightest of economics, you will see that it is absolutely brainless to be converting naira to any other currency in Nigeria.

SmartPolician:
How does this NONSENSE you wrote connect with the point I raised? Who's talking about the richest people or do I look like I am here to chest-beat?

I am talking about taking big events to the eastern region so that people and businesses can benefit from it and you are here chest-beating this early morning!

Your naivety is making you see facts as chest beating.
Igbos are the last people I will be beating my chest for. I was only educating you on why Igbos are much in Lagos.
It is not completely down to their decision to station there.

SmartPolician:
I don't understand Igbos' obsessiveness with Lagos State. You don't see northerners even holding wedding in Lagos or Abuja. They take it back to their region - Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, etc. Guests fly to those states to attend the event. When rich Igbos want to have their weddings, it must be Lagos. I don't understand this level of obsessiveness!

You are very naive.
Every rich person in Nigeria has something tied to Lagos because of location. Igbos have the most richest folks in Nigeria because of their business inclination.
If these people, not just Igbos stop paying taxes in Lagos, the place will be a grave yard.

TimeManager:
President Tinubu is a very smart man. Sometimes, you don't need to beat a child when he's crying aloud, he will keep disturbing the neighbors with his noise. You rather wait for him to sleep, wake him up then give him the appropriate punishment for his offence. When the Junta took over and the President sanctioned him, everyone was pleading with the President to reverse it which he did but after some months passed, he has cut their power again and nobody can fault him for it. I think it was last month that the junta sent people to beg Tinubu to help him with fuel crisis in his country. A head that will collect knocks, even if he travels to space, he will still collect it. That's the matter of the Niger Junta.


-Kiss the truth!

I can’t believe I read this from start to finish. I was hoping to find something sensible. Utter nonsense.

SmartPolician:
What's the plan of Atiku and his so-called coalition? Is it a ploy for power to return to the north just 2 years after the South has enjoyed it? Atiku needs to calm down. Power will be in the South for the next 6 years or more.

As a Southerner, I'd rather power returned to the North than having a clueless and corrupt Southerner in charge.

Dongquairootx:
nobody would have attended to you, we don't do business with kids.

Nobody will buy your fake product. We don't do business with fraudsters that think an ordinary oba of Benin is a God.

Bellotelli:
Why did they refused to open the door?
What were they hiding?

Leave them. Criminals dey come out to cry wolf.
Refusal to allow Law enforcement agencies with a search warrant entrance is even a crime.

malali:
Let’s stop pretending.

The West sold us overpriced loans, wrapped them in the packaging of “development,” and sat back smiling while we bit the bait. But here’s the catch—they control the global levers: currency valuation, oil pricing, IMF strings, and credit ratings.

Now? They’ve pulled the oldest trick in the playbook:

Crash the very commodity we rely on to repay the debt—oil.

So here we are:
• If we pay in crude, we now need to hand them double the barrels just to match dollar value.
• If we pay in cash, we’re paying back loans with weakened currencies at higher interest rates.
• And guess who controls both the oil benchmarks and the financial institutions? The same gang who wrote the loan terms.

This is not bad luck, it’s strategic. It’s chess. And we’re still playing draft.

Every move has been designed to ensure they win on both ends:
1. High-priced loans at dollar-denominated interest.
2. Crashed commodity prices so we drown trying to pay it back.

This is economic double harvesting.
This is neo-colonialism in a digital suit.
This is financial imperialism disguised as “free trade.”

They have modernized slavery—not with chains, but with spreadsheets.

And yet, African leaders show up smiling at summits and photo-ops with the very architects of our poverty. What they don’t realize is: we’re not guests at the table—we’re on the menu.

Us against the world mentality.
If you do better, you will not just deserve better, you will get better.

hotseat:
For fear of being tagged a Tinubu apologist, one would have told Nigerians, especially members of the opposition political parties, that Tinubu's second tenure is a done deal.


All the indices are in his favour!


First and foremost, allowing a Northern to take over the reins of government in the 2027 presidential election would be viewed as anti-South.


Buhari, inspite of his first term of dismal performance, was "voted" in for a second term.


Again, bringing in another Southerner to replace Tinubu would be counterproductive and not in the best interest of Southerners as such a president would be entitled to just one term in office.


Equity and fairness demand that Tinubu be given the same opportunity.


I come in peace!




@hotseat

So where’s the place of electing someone that is good enough for the job, regardless of geopolitical zone?

Cherrybae:
South south we don't play politics of emotion, sentiment or bitterness nor hate.

We want development for our region.

Even the North and south west wants same development.

Only the south East play politics of bitterness and hate.

Tinubu will complete his 8yrs so he can finish all the good projects he started.

In South South, we don’t support incompetence. If you’re not good for the job, step aside.
If the Presidency is only going to happen in South South, Tinubu will lose 2027.
Let me reiterate that he lost 2023 presidential elections in the South South because we stand for competence, not ass licking. Your type is just a few corrupt ones in the bunch.
Tinubu will not even win Akwa Ibom State.

Mr Layi the law. My man

I sent a guy money around middle of last year he was complaining of his generator not working, and I sent him money to repair his gen, buy fuel, subscribe internet and have something extra. Annoyingly,this guy didn't even ask me directly, he said he wanted to go and carry generator somewhere which I asked him what would the person be using again. I was like instead of inconveniency others, make I assist voluntarily .

Less than 24 hours, my guy was telling me he has exhausted the money that I should assist with more. I just simply told him I sent the last money in my account to him

100k in less than 24 hours when no be say na so I dey see money

Modified: All the people who are calling me a liar on this thread, is that how N100k is just so big to them. I swear to almighty God, I have made more than N100k today, Aje.

Dashing someone N100k na even manageable considering the Nigeria economy.

We be Omo ologo latipe, we no be Omo ologogoro like Portable who have landed himself in another trouble. He was in court today, probably reminded.

Alhamdullilahi for the grace because no be about being sabi, na just abundance grace

See person when dey see Lapo people dey run. This T pain government never show you reach. Your eye go clear.
You get 100k naim you still carry failure for head🤷‍♀️

seunmsg:
Dele is nothing but an idiot. It is unfortunate that characters like this are the ones parading themselves as opposition leaders. Spineless folks who can’t get their acts together but prefer to blame Mr. President for their incompetency and buffoonery.

When Tinubu’s attempt to put a coalition together in 2011 failed, he did not go about crying in the media or blaming anybody. He got to work and tried again in 2015. By 2013, APC was already formed. That is how to show seriousness and competency.

Instead of getting to work, this fat pig and his desperate sponsors prefer to cry and drop Tinubu’s name everywhere. If PDP governors don’t see any sense in joining the SDP coalition, why blame that on Tinubu?

Even by mere common sense, why should the governor of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Osun and
Enugu leave a well structured PDP that gave them victory to join a gang up of desperate power mongers in an irrelevant SDP?

Make it make sense to me. What will an Atiku presidency offer Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu and Bayelsa that Tinubu is currently not offering? Why then should they join you in your stupid coalition of hatred?

Even a blind person will offer those States far more than what Tinubu is offering.
The traitor from Rivers State did not leave PDP before he formed a coalition with Tinubu.
The Governors will remain in PDP but support one opposition candidate for presidency. Anyone who’s against it is definitely with that traitor from Rivers.

jimi4us:
Now you guys can see why slavery succeeded in West Africa, Nigeria most especially .

Be very careful of a poor man's loyalty

Benjamin Burumbo of blessed memory.

RenoOkriTheGoat:
Same old line on every thread. Cheap shameless APC online praise singer.

That’s not a real person.

helinues:
Na to add some Fubara allies as new appointees.

The way Fubara's would loose out heh. He wan dey fight those who can swallow him. Hahahah

Sense is far from you.

simplepee:
You are mad.

There’s something actually unclear here.
Whether the child drown or electrocuted, the school can still be probed for negligence. Why is she insisting that the child was electrocuted and didn’t drown.
Is she insinuating that it is not the school’s fault if the child drown?
I dey fear all these gen Z mothers o.
Na so one carry pikin for back on top okada, you go think say na back pack. The child was almost falling from her back.

Zackattack:
Don’t be surprised that when the true story comes out, the real culprit is the mother.

Kobojunkie:
Does it need to be the most vicious crime before I can call it out for the crime that it is?

2. The only reprimand necessary when a crime is committed is for the law to handle it accordingly. Why do you not want the Law enforced in this case?🤔

Let me put it another way for you. If a policeman came up to your mother or son and beat him up, would you equally frown against having legal action in that case? 😩😩😩

3. So, asserting that the Law should be allowed to take precedence is considered being Judgy? Would you equally consider the case if you or your mother were assaulted for free by a policeman tomorrow? 😩😩😩

Your analogy is inapt.
I believe she deserves a retrospective punishment.
Her intention was to teach. She did it the outmoded way.
Nowadays, we have punishments like detention, assigning unpleasant tasks, timeout, even removing from class, but she chooses to do it the old way which is now called an assault. You can’t crucify her for that.

Kobojunkie:
I don't really believe that the desire for a better society is shared by a substantial number of Nigerians. When Nigerians pray for change, they usually pray that the change only happens for them even if at the expense of those around them. That is a country full mostly of people who don't want a better society.

Ok I’ve been following your post from the beginning and YES, the woman is wrong to hit that little boy for not grabbing her lessons and all, but is this the most vicious thing you’ve ever seen.
People’s intentions could be mixed up with their approach, and she’s been reprimanded for it.
After this, she’ll know better but you need to pipe down with the judgy attitude.

otipoju:
Kindness usually involves giving something wether tangible or intangible and getting nothing in exchange.

Kindness is giving of yourself. Your time, your precense, your resources, your money, even putting in a good word for someone somewhere is all kindness.

Yes you know what I mean and to still making my point more for me.

otipoju:
We live in a time where kindness is taken as weakness and is prone to be exploited util you are financially, physically and emotionally drained.

Learning to say No even if you can help is ultra important...abd that is what to naturally kind people feel as wickedness.

The disadvantage of being kind all the time us that you unconsciously teach people to remember you only when they want something...and once they unconsciously label you as that...they will never turn up for you when you are in need even if they have the means.


This December I just dey ignore all the different requests wey I dey get...and it will be like that for a very long time.

It's time to focus on me and me alone. Takers never stop taking.

You make it sound like giving is the only act of showing kindness.
Poor people with nothing still show kindness.

Namaster:
I said the Internship route is rhe EASIEST. Not the ONLY one.

KPMG has Graduate Trainee Programmes for people up to 28-years old. And being Chartered is not even a requirement. So if Emmanuel is a Chartered Accountant, it be a BONUS!

There may be JOBLESS Chartered Accountants but I assure you they are NO Emmanuels.

If Emmanuel is SMART, DILIGENT, AMBITIOUS and CHARTERED, an Emmanuel can NEVER be jobless. Even in a shithole like Nigeria.

That's the GOSPEL!

The reality is that he has tried and made efforts, but it didn't work.
Stop putting down people's struggles because time and chance happened to you.
You sound very immature.
He fought, he lost and now he rests. But you will be fighting your battles forever.

SAMBARRY:

Ignored and you still replied him😁🤷🏻‍♀️

gidgiddy:
Government and DSS have turned the constitutional right of protest into a criminal offence

It is well

sreamsense:
Try and join protest one day so that you can be arrested and send to jail to greet kanu. How can kanu be suffering, and you never made any attempt to go there and greet him? Ekpa just keeps enjoying donation, who knows if you get your monthly from same donation as ipob social media agent? If it is bread, go and buy for kanu or tell dss you want to stay three days with kanu as a devoted member or sympathizer. You no dey follow them go raid or attack police, you no dey go out to greet kanu either; that is laziness that will not be condoned. You will not get ordinary class rep equivalent when Biafra is realized because you only exist online

Okay what does this have to do with Government and DSS impeding human rights. Make una try to dey apply sense small na!

Consulting traditional elders to cleanse the land of bloodshed is as outmoded as jungle justice.
The whole Issele-Uku town need a reorientation.

vanbonattel:
Says who?

Who's fit to be in that administration? The president or vice, or which of rhe criminals?

This may be a move against the Niger Delta.

Abeg leave Niger Delta out of this one. I'd rather a fool from far North be SP than this Akpabio.
