SportsRe: Calvin Bassey’s Father Begs For Reconciliation After 18 Years by koning: 9:22am On Jan 27
Lonestar124:
So the day the man will die, Calvin, the wife and other children will not attend his burial, Our generation is mean!!
Whether they attend or not is of no consequence to the dead man. That is a problem for the living.

Personally, as long as the boy no longer bears my surname, i would not bother with him. Not after 18 years. The father should get on with his life. Attempting to establish contact will kill him faster.

Knowing that the children and their mother are doing well should be enough for him. He laid the foundation.
TravelRe: My Mum Died On Ethiopian Airlines Flight From Abuja To US - Adiele Jacqueline by koning: 1:12pm On Jan 24
back2sender:
What is a 70 years old woman still waiting to go back to America? At this age shouldn't she be in Nigeria as Final return? Now she will comeback in a coffin to same Nigeria she is running away from
I wonder ooo?. I see it as a sign of failure. My mum spent one full year in the US for Omugwo. When she finally(They wanted her to stay permanently) returned back to Nigeria, she vowed never to enter the plane to USA again. And she never did. She's approaching 80 years now.

I can't understand why anyone who is 70 years and above should still be travelling inter continental. I don't see myself going beyond Nigeria or maybe Ghana after age 70.

This woman simply died. Nothing to do with Ethiopian Airlines.
PoliticsRe: Why Tinubu, Atiku Shouldn’t Contest Presidency In 2027 – Hakeem Baba-ahmed by koning: 7:57am On Jan 21
He is very 100% right. By 2027, they will both be approaching 80 years.

Tinubu is also not very healthy. He has achieved his ambition. He should now quit with dignity.
BusinessRe: Senegal Revokes Offshore License Held By Nigerian Multi-Millionaire Arthur Eze by koning: 7:52am On Jan 21
You referred to Arthur Eze as a "Multi Millionaire"

Do your due diligence before posting nonsense. Or was intended as an insult for being an Igbo man?


Arthur Eze is a Billionaire in Dollars. A man who has been pumping oil for years in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Venezuela.

His net worth is private. That's why you will never see his name on that Forbes list. He don't need that.

TravelRe: Japa: Comparing US/UK Suicide Rates To Nigeria's by koning: 3:41pm On Jan 12
anonimi:
If we have no reliable data on our population since the 2006 census, how can we have reliable data on suicide?

APC has failed us on everything, including the conduct of a census as the basis for national planning.
The report is very correct. I even expect the suicide rate in USA to be much more with all those guns available to nutcases.

Are you aware that Japan, with all their advancement is the number 1 suicide country in the world. A Japanese can kill him or herself if caught out on a lie.

Those of us who have been around know that Nigeria is blessed as a nation. Our greedy and selfish leaders are the problem.
TravelRe: Japa: Comparing US/UK Suicide Rates To Nigeria's by koning: 3:34pm On Jan 12
The Nigerian rate will be 0.01% if we had any form of safety net for unemployment like they do in the US and UK.

If unemployed Nigerians will collect, say, N20,000 every month and food stamps, there will be zero suicides. Many poor Nigerians will stay alive just to collect that N20,000.

Almost all depressions in Nigeria and crimes stem from hunger.

Our leaders are very GREEDY. Spread this wealth.
CelebritiesRe: Tiannah Calls Out Euracare Hospital Over Alleged Medical Negligence by koning: 12:20pm On Jan 12
Nigerians respond too much to "bling bling", fancy buildings and people.

Some of these health issues can be properly handled at Community health centers and district general hospitals.

But, they will choose Euracare and all those Turkish and Indian hospitals who are just out to fleece Nigerians.

However, medical misers happen all over the Western world. Sometimes, even deliberately.

I don't really trust "White" doctors and nurses. Some of them kill their own people on purpose. You can imagine what they will do to an African.

SportsRe: Nigeria Vs Algeria: AFCON Quarter-Finals (2 - 0) On 10th January 2026 by koning: 10:43pm On Jan 06
It's a battle between the 2 power blocks of African football.

WEST AFRICA vs NORTH AFRICA.

Authentic black Africa vs Arab Africa.

No idea where the cup will go to. It will be interesting from now on. I just hope the right referees are chosen.

How i wish they can bring Referees from Europe or South America. But CAF would feel insulted. I don't trust these North Africans with their on the pitch acting and tricks. 'Maka' cheap penalties.

PoliticsRe: NLC To Nigerians: Reject ‘distorted’ Tax Law by koning: 1:04pm On Dec 25, 2025
I have lived in a country where I paid humongous taxes for over 20 years. But I receive a generous reward in form of excellent infrastructures for the taxes i pay.

So paying taxes is not the problem. It has never been the problem. Taxes have been paid since beginning of mankind.

But, in a country where a public servant uses tax payers money to acquire over N200 billion worth of properties, asking citizens to keep paying is wicked.

In China, 80% of Nigeria's public servants will be convicted to die by hanging as of 2025.

The NLC has the right and duty to protect ordinary workers and citizens.

Desist from making d.umb and inciteful statements like this. This nation of 250 million diverse peoples is far bigger than your little ethnic region.

I refer you to what happened in Kenya not too long ago over the same Tax matter. And Kenya no even get 'Boko Boys'.

PoliticsRe: Tax Reform Acts Controversies Cast Doubt On The Sanctity Of Nigeria’s Lawmaking by koning: 12:52pm On Dec 23, 2025
9jatriot:
That is how you guys make uninformed comments upadan. That the others prefer to stay silent does not mean Taiwo worked alone. Below is a list of the members. This was done 2 years ago.

The reason people are only just reacting to the tax law is that they thought Tinubu is like other presidents who will set up committe upon committe just to reward people with no intention to implement the output of the report from the committee. Now that people realized he is serious, it is only now that they are beginning to read the tax bill, something that has been ongoing for more than 2 years.


Also included in the committee is Orire Agbaje, a 400-level Economics student of the University of Ibadan (UI).

We need the names of the committee members, not the institutions they represent. For now, only Taiwo Oyedele we know.
Even the Agbaje, a 400 level student from UI is from the same zone. Why not a student from ABU Zaria, or university of Maiduguri ?.

In most parliamentary democracies in Western Europe, an infringement like this will bring down the government. Coalition parties will just withdraw from the government. Nigeria is now a One-Party democracy. Sad.
SportsRe: NFF Reported Congo's Age Violations To FIFA by koning: 7:57pm On Dec 17, 2025
Watch how Congo will smuggle Dual citizenship into their constitution.

It's a tricky case for the NFF to win.

Any country that does not allow Dual citizenship anno 2025 is living in dark ages. With globalisation, it should be mandatory.

For some countries like Morocco and Turkey, you can never lose your Moroccan nationality irrespective of where you were born and how many foreign passports you hold.

Competition is good. That's the sure way for the citizens to benefit from lower petrol and diesel prices.

I don't give a hoot about the man that resigned or who Tinubu appoints.

Tinubu must not play Dangote scripts. We have not recovered from the price of Cement.
SportsRe: 2026 WCQ: DR Congo FA Slams Nigeria Over World Cup Eligibility Dispute by koning: 7:20pm On Dec 17, 2025
mikeapollo:
DR Congo did not breach any eligibility rules. The players they used were cleared by FIFA to play for them. What is NFF's business if those players hold dual citizenship?
Incompetent players with incompetent, shameless administrators who could not qualify even after CAF's useless rule was used to sneak them into the playoffs which they otherwise would not have qualified for.
Do not be too quick with that "Cleared by FIFA" argument. A precedent was set this week with Malaysia. Malaysia fielded a whooping 6 to 7 players who were clearly not Malaysian. Some looked clearly European. Malaysia presented forged documents to FIFA about the place of birth of their parents, claiming that their fathers and grandfathers were born on a Malaysian island.

After they beat Vietnam 3-0 to qualify for the Asia cup, Vietnam lodged a complaint. FIFA investigated and found out that the players used forged birth documents. Some of them had grandfathers born in Europe. Malaysia has now been severely sanctioned. All last 3 matches they won with those players have been converted to a loss.
AFC is also set to award the qualification for the Asia cup to Vietnam straight.

So, Nigeria and the NFA have a chance in their protest. But it must be presented with proof and evidence. I'm sure they have lawyers handling that. It's fraud to win a match with ineligible players.

FamilyRe: The Quiet Crisis Of Aging Men: What We Don’t Prepare Fathers For by koning: 9:34am On Dec 15, 2025
Great topic. Logged in late.

Has any of thought of the fact that some older men, fathers, actually look forward to being alone at older age. Especially between the ages of 55 and 75 when they are still physically fit.

Having been surrounded by people-family members- all through my life, i can't wait to be be alone in the house at age 60 or thereabout. Being alone is not the same as being lonely.

Once the money is available, a man can have a very enjoyable life living alone. Babes, fine wine, music and exquisite cuisine. Besides, you can always employ a maid for household chores.

Having enough money and not worrying about rent is the key.
