MRTA7:
I dont understand your point. Are you agreeing with me? The point I'm making is that regardless of CR's status and Martial we should have identified and signed a striker even if CR didnt ask to leave. The fact we're facing this these issues starting the season is not really unforeseen but its pretty much self inflicted by the club's disastrous preparation for the new season.

Or the manager obsession with his old ajax boys?

TrebleChamp:
A day to the start of EPL, this one is still talking about signing the right players. So it is only his former players that are the right players for Manutd I supported giving him full autonomy on players signing, so he can build his team his own way. But chasing one players for 3 month is pure foolishness, God help us this season....

I will so drag ETH if this season goes sideways.

Ralf should never have left ffs.

Stupid club and manager.

[color=royalblue]It still stands na.

My bet with Larride was on figures from Lagos.

APC can still win, and Larride go lose[/color]

No, I won't.

Android17:
You said Obi first choice, Atiku second choice. I am very well aware. I also know that if BAT wins, it won't pain you as well. You have spread your risks well and will somehow be satisfied with whoever wins (except your bet with Larride sha).

Thankfully he's in Lagos, we go use the bet money celebrate BAT election victory once we win.

League starts tomorrow and we are still waiting for FDJ.

BlueRayDick:
And to think those LASTMA guys get paid well like other civil servants in Lagos . It’s just annoying that they see themselves as equal with police officers whom one can excuse their corruption for being paid poorly.

The way they usually drag steering with private car owners who are sometimes women is appalling . I always shake my head knowing even if u sack them and recruit fresh ones they will still turn out the same way

Just corruption, pure and simple. That's why they detest when they post them around Alausa and environs.

Agberos collect owo Lastma from danfo drivers now that they remit at the end of the day of those posted to the area so the danfo drivers can do as they like.

BlueRayDick:
Well he has himself to blame for the negative publicity sha. Most common Nigerians would’ve sorted those guys and bounce without the whole scene he caused .

I’ve said it here before , Lagos is a jungle where those task force guys are predators looking for ignorant road users to prey on. Oshodi Oke is a case in point ; u see yellow commercial buses dropping passengers and carrying more passengers on the bridge ….. In fact buses going to Mile 2, Orile and Cele Express load their buses on the bridge ( as we speak u can go there and confirm this ) . The task force/LASTMA team are right there and would not dare arrrest them for obstructing traffic , but the moment u as a private car owner drop a colleague u assisted at that same place u will be hounded by the task force guys and their touts with guns being flashed at ur face . The least U will pay is 30k for an offence yellow buses are committing right in ur front

LASTMA and those taskforce are a menace. How do you begin to even reorient those that are supposed to uphold the law but will rather collect bribe from some to look the other way and pounce on some?

Selective punishment for the same crime. Nigerians are a special breed.

GloriousGbola:
Tinubu may as well be James bond at this point.

He was not even indicted. He was not arrested. The real journalism will be finding out EXACTLY what happened.

Bola Tinubu, international man of mystery.

Them say na plea bargain, that's why they returned $1m to him, never was convicted for any crime and walked away free.

I'm not even sure they understand what plea bargain means.

Oasis007:


Just LOL and pass Bruh.

He dey always amuse me whenever I read this thing. Most of these people have auction their thinking process to others.

Educated adult believe the US will enter into a plea bargain with a "supposed drug lord" in 1992 when there was serious crack down on drugs activities, collect 400k and release $1m to him while not convicting him of any crime.

What bias does to people ehn.

Oasis007 suppose be Nigeria Army spokesperson.

Roland17:
Where all the noise makers wen say US backed out of visiting Taiwan? No be who fess call police dey win case.

Listen, we are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Hate all you want, we are okay with it and could care less!

Pelosi will be in Taiwan, we have made it known, now do your worst!

If dem born any of una well make anything happen to her while she is in Taiwan!

This is not about Republican or Democrat, this about the 3rd highest ranking office in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Oya China, do your worst!!

Bros na Nigeria matter we still dey try settle for here, wetin concern us with Taiwan?

Whoever did this for Russia is on a savage mood. Wtf

A week to the season opener and we are still chasing FDJ.

Issokay.

[color=royalblue]Sometimes, it feels this way.

We can't be this equipped and we are finding it difficult to end banditry.

See as Buratai blow after his COAS post. He even join politics immediately. Ihejirika comes to mind too.

These men are just taking us for a ride.[/color]

One thing I noticed is the production period of some these equipment and gears that are being bought.

For example, the Super Tucano, the purchase was approved in 2017 and we paid, we got delivery of the super Tucano last year July. 4yrs after we paid. Within those 4yrs everywhere go don zeh now.

I dont know anything about military hardware but we shouldn't be buying hardware's that will take years to build when we have war we are battling.

BlueRayDick:
The Onyema guy no try for that move .

That post funny me.

Those that will vote for Obi here will still vote for Obi irrespective of whatever argument we have here, same as the other candidates.

What he should be worried about is the undecided voters and convincing them that Obi is the best man for the job, I even doubt if we have undecided voters on this thread.

raumdeuter:
That's the common thing with them. They lack the ability to make their case logically and always depend on the mob. Is it that a 39yr opd cannot make a case for his candidate that he had to call others some of them likely younger than him to come bail him out?

There are enough threads on politics section to discuss the election. This thread was specifically created for Sport section followers to discuss without derailing main threads but he has gone to call people to come derail

Hope you call them to help pay your nepa bills too

Just abandon the thread for him and his people now.

GloriousGbola:
I am not sure this is fully lai. Maybe it is. But anyone there would almost certainly be doing the same. This is what Buhari and his crew know - information suppression dictator style. By now there shoukd be comical lai memes, the man is worse than iraqs information minister during the invasion.

Most of these guys are doing whatever they like. El Rufai said it in his live media chat days ago that Buhari was not aware of the bandit threat to kidnap him until he told him. I couldn't believe my ears.

Whether Buhari knows about that lai press release or not, oga lai as information minister has been disastrous.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It's a different situation for the Incumbent's New guy

Oppositions would always use the negatives of the incumbent party to campaign. Its not the same for the new guy, which makes it more difficult for him

That's why Tinubu is most dragged and talked about in this election. Buhari's shiit is splashing on him too[/color]

Of course its expected.

Same party so the failures of Buhari will also be on his head but during campaign, it's easier to say what he will do different than Buhari if given the chance. Though they might be in the same party, they are different individuals.

The electorate will now have the chance to send the party packing in total or not. It is what it is.

wman:
Ban and sanction.

The gods are to be blamed.

Oga lai should never have returned as information minister.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]For Heaven's sake, the ECA was depleted before Buhari came.

The police were underfunded and understaffed.

Why do you guys like to console yourselves with
GEJ?

I'm starting to think that some of you are relatives of this man.

Jonathan failed. Just tell us how Buhari was better[/color]

Both wont even be on the ticket. The best way to campaign in an election where the incumbent wont be on the ballot is to tell the electorate what your candidate will do better.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The painful part is these people can be found. BBC could trace these warlords, yet the government is doing nothing.

In one part of the doc, the guy said Bandits attacked a village for 48 hours and no police or army showed up.

Two whole days oh.
[/color]

I remember saying it on the Chelsea thread back then that we have alot of ungoverned space in the country which is a recipe for disaster.

We are underpoliced, understaffed and those even currently there are either in collusion with these criminals or they are overstretched.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Every name you bring up has jumped from one party to another, including Tinubu.

We can only punish a party for underperforming since the aspirants can change parties like an Olosho at Allen[/color]

Which party did Tinubu jump from and to which party?

chrisooblog:
As much as there is poverty in the land I agree that it's ridiculous that our tax rate is so low.

If countries like Togo, Benin and Kenya with huge poverty numbers can still pay tax then there's no reason why we shouldn't be doing better. I think another reason is tax avoidance. How many people in the tax net pay their tax? I'm not even sure up to 40% pay their dues.

That said there's the issue of double taxation. Businesses paying all sorts of dues that don't get captured in government revenue (that's if it doesn't get diverted).

I don't know if there are any experts in the real estate space, but I read somewhere that if the land use act can be reformed it can be a game changer revenue wise for Nigeria.

You are right about the double taxation especially in the informal sector. Lot of tax (dues) that touts levy under the disguise of local government tax are mostly unaccounted for.

FIRS and each state government needs to be up and doing, it is important that the informal sector is duly integrated into the tax system.

FIRS and other state government needs to broaden the tax net, every one must paid their tax as at when due.

How do you even begin to solve this problem.

[quote author=EmmanuelScott1 post=115117440][/quote]Do you want me to list the number of incentives that Buhari has given to farmer?

Do you want me to list at least 10 textile companies for you?

[color=royalblue]I think insecurity is the major problem affecting agriculture and food production.

That's our next crude oil, but the insecurity in the North is discouraging.

To be very honest, I weep for the next president. [/color]

Yes to be very honest. Insecurity is the biggest issue yet. Once insecurity is solve then we can move to funding or both can be solved simultaneously.

[quote author=EmmanuelScott1 post=115117034][/quote]Did he explain how? Everyone has been saying it, even Buhari said it.

He needs to tell us how. When someone that makes his money from container economy suddenly tells you he will move away from the container economy, you need to ask him how.

[color=royalblue]If CBN floats the naira, would Dangote refinery be where it is today?

Should we talk about the rails BuuBuu built, the 2nd Niger Bridge and road projects? Even the trains LASG went to negotiate in the USA would be difficult to purchase if the CBN floats.

You are actually right with your suggestion. We all know that that's the only way out. But it can't happen overnight.

Dollarisation has taken over, and any president must find a way to work with it initially, before phasing it out [/color]

I believe, theres no two ways about it, we will definitely suffer for all the missed opportunities that we have had to diversify the economy. With the kind if population we have, we should have different manufacturing and industrial hubs all over the country.

We have arable lands to grow what we eat. More than 70% of the population spend most of their earnings on food. We have to move from subsistence farming to large scale farming that can quickly make us self sustaining in agricultural produce.

If you check our inflation indices, you will see that price of food stuff is one of the major cause that drive our inflation. We must look for a way to increase the purchasing power of the naira and one way that it will be evident is in the prices of food items.
