Thank God buhari wasn't our first Democratic president..he would have locked up all opposition

You wouldn't have the phone or internet advancement you are using for Nairaland let alone democracy.

Everywhere would be a RUGA colony by now.

To be fair to him, he has been right in numerous of occasions.

Hopefully Buhari gets his third term, if this is true, because he deserves it and Nigerians deserve him.

Where was Buhari exiled to?

You people are hilarious. Do you understand that none of the Northern oligarchy class ever participated in either (1) Fighting for Nigeria’s independence from the British or (2) Fighting in the struggle for democracy?

None! Which exile did Buhari go to?

Ansu Fati has made a long trip from the fields of Guinea-Bissau, where he played as a child, to Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium where the 16-year-old is playing with some of the biggest stars in the world.

Fati's has made a stirring start to the season, scoring just two minutes into his full La Liga debut on a magical night when he hardly put a foot wrong in front of over 80,000 astonished Camp Nou fans who gave him a standing ovation as he left the field.

He was just seven years old when he first came to Spain and his startling talent meant he was invited to join Barcelona's prestigious youth academy 'La Masia' aged 10.

It was an incredible achievement for a boy from the impoverished West African nation that has never been known for football.

In Sao Paulo, his home neighbourhood in the rundown suburbs of capital Bissau, the children yell "Ansu Fati, Barca player!" as they run around on ochre soil, under the tropical trees.

Malam Romisio, who coached Fati as a child, told AFP how the boy used to play football wearing only socks or plastic sandals, easily dribbling the ball past bigger, stronger teammates.

When Fati made his debut with Barca's first team at the end of August, the coach switched his allegiance from Real Madrid.

"If he continues like this, he will be a great player," he predicted.

In Guinea Bissau, which is one of the world's poorest and most fragile nations, Fati is a source of national pride.

Born on October 31, 2002, he lived in Bissau until he was six.

In the house where he grew up, Fati's uncle Djibi Fati shows photos of the footballer as a child, dressed in traditional clothes, recalling how others used to tease him for his love of bread and butter.

"Every time he came back from playing football, he would ask for it," he recalls.

- Family divided, reunited in Spain -

When he was still very small, his father, Bori Fati, went to Portugal to look for work, later settling near Seville in southwestern Spain.

Bori picked olives, collected empty glasses in nightclubs and even helped build a high-speed rail track, recalls Amador Saavedra, who befriended him in Herrera, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of Malaga.

It was only when the Communist mayor of Marinaleda, a nearby town, hired Bori as a driver and helped him financially, that he managed to bring his young family over in 2009.

"It's a very beautiful story," said Saavedra, 53.

Bori ended up training his young son at the Peloteros football school, which is free for thousands of children in Herrera and the surrounding towns.

- Cheerful but quiet -

When Fati arrived he quickly caused a sensation on the football pitch, said Jordi Figaroa Moreno, his first Spanish coach.

"He had a gift," he told AFP. "The difference between him and his teammates was just huge, both technically and tactically. Among the youngsters, it's rare to find children who can play as a team, but he had everything."

Jose Luis Perez Mena, who runs the Peloteros school, described Fati as "very spontaneous" and "very cheerful" as well as "extroverted, but very quiet".

His stellar success "has not gone to his head".

Within a year of arriving in Spain, Fati joined Sevilla. In 2012, at the age of 10, he was enrolled in Barcelona's youth system.

"Ansu was one of the youngest players ever to have entered La Masia," said Marc Serra, his first coach at Barcelona.

"From the day that he arrived he was different, the type of player who invents football."

- 'Mind-blowing' -

In August, the teenager became the youngest player to score for Barcelona in La Liga. This month he became the club's youngest player in a Champions League match.

Spain's national coach Robert Moreno described Fati's debut for Barcelona as "mind-blowing". Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde spoke of him as a "balanced boy" who is "at ease with himself".

"We want him to learn to know himself, to know the first division, so he sees that it is hard and how much work and dedication it will take to succeed," he said.

Speaking to Spain's Onda Cero radio last month, his proud father said he had taught Fati to "be respectful and happy with everyone".

"Every day I tell him: 'This is your job: when you have the ball, turn towards the goal, don't look anywhere else, and just shoot."

Let’s hope he becomes near to someone like Iniesta, Xavi or even Eto’o.

The next “Messi”. Lol. We heard that when Bojan Kirkic, Dembele, etc burst on the scene. Calm
Down guys. Messi is someone that can’t be replicated. Even C.Ronaldo fans admit that.

Calm down let the boy play.

Hate speech and criticism are two things far apart. Prof Soludo actually criticized the government within reasonable parameters, and today he has been appointed. When hatred becomes mistaken for criticism such society is planning to kill itself gradually.

Is “Jonathan is Clueless” criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ Government is destroying the North”, criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ Government travelling to Niger and Chad to plan more Boko Haram attacks”, criticism or hate speech?
Is “GEJ has a sniper list”, criticism or hate speech?

I can go on and on.
If this regime cannot take it, why did they give it? In all, they sound very childish and foolish. I’m sure you’ll agree with me. The table of equity only allows for clean hands.

Kwara State Governor and his 26 years old commissioner

By Abdulrazaq Hamzat

At the age of 22, Shamma Al-Mazrui was appointed as a Minister at the United Arabs Emirate (UAE) in Feb. 2016, making her the youngest member of the UAE Cabinet.

At the time of her appointment 3 years ago, she's 4years younger than Joana Kolo, a 26 years old commissioner nominee by the Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

Today, Shama is 25years old and one of the most active ministers in the UAE.

In Australia however, the youngest minister is Wyatt Roy, who was only 25years old, when he was appointed.

Unlike Shama, who is currently serving in a youth focused ministry as minister of youth in UAE, Roy on the other hand is heading one of the most powerful ministries in Australia, as the minister of innovation.

These are examples of young people without experience, doing greatly when given leadership responsibility.

Few days ago, the progressive Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq also nominated a 26years lady, Joana Kolo as a commissioner in the state, throwing young people across Kwara into wild jubilation.

Many are excited and are celebrating, because for the first time in a long time, Kwara State now have a governor who not only value young people genuinely, but will also fulfil all promises made to them during the electioneering campaign.

By nominating Joana to serve as a commissioner in Kwara State, Governor Abdulrahman is simply fulfilling his promise of making his administration youth driven.

It should be recalled that during the electioneering, Governor Abdulrahman repeatedly promised the young people of Kwara State that his government would give priority to youths and even after assuming office as governor on may 29, he repeatedly re-echoed the promise, signifying his determination to fulfil it.

Like a man, whose words can be taken to the bank for cash, Governor Abdulrahman has fulfilled another of his promises by nominating a youth, in the real sense of it as a commissioner.

However, there are people not happy with this development.

It has been observed that some political players in the state are raising concerns about the nomination of this young lady as a commissioner. Their argument is that, she is too young and too inexperienced to bring any value to the government.

While their concerns is worthy of note, i think it is not appropriate to conclude on a person, before knowing the person.

The real question we should be asking is that, what is wrong with nominating a 26years old commissioner? Is there really anything wrong with that? Does she not meet the required academic qualification? Is there any law that has been violated as a result of her nomination? So, what exactly is wrong with her nomination?

I am of the view that, those who have already marked Joana's script, even before she enters the exam hall are doing so for their own reasons, not necessarily out of concerns for the state.

Their opinion about her is of no value because the governor who nominated her knows the value she is bringing to his government.

Whether or not, she can perform, will only be tested after she has been given a chance, which the governor has rightly given her.

It is also important to note that, the will of a man, will always make a way for him.

The determination to succeed supersedes all ages and experiences and Joana's young age, and perceived inexperience are not a minus, if she's prepared to succeed.

So, let me conclude that, if Jean Claude Duvalier can become the president of Haiti at the age of 19 and succeed, if Valentine Strasser can become the president of Sierra Leone at the age of 25 and succeed, if Michel Micombero can lead Burundi successfully at the age of 25, certainly, Joana Kolo can aswell succeed as a commissioner in Kwara, if given the required support.

*Abdulrazaq Hamzat is the Convener of Kwara Must Change.*

You haven’t really said anything of note.
Just conjectures. What’s her experience? Her qualifications even if by affidavit? Her life’s vision? Who she sees as mentors? Leadership books she’s read? Her leadership experience?

You’ve said nothing. You’ve not helped the young lady.


I’m sure there are reasons that should see her do great in the role, but you haven’t outlined them. Are you a motivational speaker?

Starke:
I am a young professional sharing a room and parlour self contain with a friend. Now my friend has always been in the habit of bringing all sorts of girls to the house. This is a conduct which I have tried my best to ignore in order to allow peace to reign.

At some point he brought this particular girl and she stayed for sometime with us. From my conversations with her, she has an impressive body count and really dislikes condoms. At some point, she became very sick. Had white patches in her mouth and was very feverish. We had to take her to the hospital so she doesn't die in the house. The Doctor ran several tests on her and her HIV status was positive.

About a week later, I took my laptop to work and when I returned, I dipped my hands in the bag to retrieve my key only to be severely cut by a razor blade my roommate left in the bag. I asked him who owns it and he said he it belongs to the girl and he put it there hoping to dispose of it later. My heart bled. I rushed that night at about 9:45pm to Ikoyi military hospital to get PEP, but the hospital said I have to wait until the next day as the pharmacy had closed. The next morning at about 11:00am, after a lot of delay, I finally got the anti retroviral drugs.

Now after taking the drugs for about 3 days, the side effects were terrible and unbearable. I already had a subsisting kidney problem and the drugs was making it worse so I had to stop. What I want to know is what are my chances if I permanently discontinue the drugs? Am I going to seroconvert? I am scared shitless and if this happens to make me HIV+, I am seriously considering suicide.

Pls help me people.

Pls help me to move this post. I need to get as much input as possible.

The virus doesn’t survive outside its host for long. So unless you slept with the girl, taking antiretroviral drugs is a very foolish thing to do. What are you attempting to kill? Malaria virus?


You didn’t even take a HIV test?! Are there parts missing in your story?

This man is always a Buhari critic, but when it comes to consolidation of political power, the core north is always united & never to be trusted.

The power reshuffle and scheming towards 2023 ìs obvious to the blind and audible to the deaf.

Buhari critic? I laugh. Were you deceived by those statements from him?


The North are incredibly United when it comes to the last straw in politics. Those so-called Buhari critics, from, Junaid to Buba Galadinma, will put up some form of resistance if a Southerner whom they do do not approve attempts to become President.

Their think-tank is ABU, Zaria and they have similar partners in Oxford and Cambridge; once those intellectuals report to the Kaduna Mafia that this fellow is a “no” that is it. They won’t mind unleashing violence to prevent it. Luckily for them they don’t have to go to the extreme as the South is as divided as a broken clay pot to put up any resistance.

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo said he deserves to end his soccer career with more Ballon d’Or awards than Barcelona counterpart Lionel Messi and hopes to establish himself as the greatest player of all time.

Ronaldo, 34, has won the renowned France Football magazine trophy for the world’s best player five times – as many as Messi – but is eager for more as he moves into the twilight of his career.

“Messi’s in the history of football,” Ronaldo told broadcaster Piers Morgan in an interview with Britain’s ITV on Tuesday.

“But I think I have to have six or seven or eight to be above him,” he said, referring to the Ballon d’Or awards.

“I’d love it, I think I deserve it.”

The Portugal captain said he was no friend of the Argentine, but credited his rival for helping push him further in his own career.

“My relationship with him is, we are not friends, but we have shared this stage for 15 years,” Ronaldo said.

“I know that he has pushed me to be a better player and I have pushed him to be a better player as well.”

Ronaldo, who also played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, has five UEFA Champions League winners’ medals and led Portugal to victory at the 2016 UEFA European Championship and 2019 UEFA Nations League tournaments.

“I don’t follow the records, the records follow me. I’m addicted to the success, and I don’t think it’s something bad, I think it’s good,” Ronaldo said.

“It motivates me. If you’re not motivated, it’s better to stop.”

I feel his pain. It is unfortunate to be playing as a top player in the Messi Era.

You are a BMC; core or affiliate. You are a member.

Privatisation is what brought the phone you are using. Thankfully, you haven’t disputed that fact. That’s the same thing that would be done to NNPC.

Selling NNPC IS ATIKU strong PRIORITY
He said it loud and clear

You are informed by propaganda.

Privitisation is the Policy here. The same Policy that clearly worked with the Telecoms Sector in Nigeria that has enabled you to have the the phone and data from which you BMC members send out inocuous propaganda. Or you do not know? Poor you.

"Selling" off is the simplistic, decietful and cheap slogan which you BMC members use.

Thank God they did not win the presidential election
NNPC WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BOUGHT BY THEIR ACCLAIMED MESSIAH TO PAY PDP STAFFS

NNPC was not sold during the 16 years of PDP, but since you are a paid and expert BMC member, you are attempting to push a narrative which even the most average-thinking Nigerian knows and understands this. But hey, continue.

So what and what did the west to intervene? How did they do it? Who were the players? Where did they hold meeting? Give details, this is what will make your writeup valid. Else, this is simply conjecture

lol when I read, "Where did they hold meeting?", I laughed where I am.
You simply do not know how these things work and, it is understandable anyway. Until the CIA reports admitted that Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown in the 1966 coup which they were involved in, many Ghanians were asking the same question as you have above. "Where did they hold meeting"? And I do not blame them. The West are subtle and very smart and, luckily for them, they are dealing with emotional and uncritical persons in Africans.

rottennaija:
You made an allegations and now are putting the burden of proof on me. How did the intervene in Buhari's election? What and what did they do? Where did they do it and who were the players.

The burden of proof is on you, not me.

I gave your the Buhari/Atiku clear analogy. It is either you missed that or you couldnt counter it.

Western intervention gave birth to Buhari in 2015; it is a normal pattern in interventionsm, same process, the use of local partners (popularly called opposition figures) for the same outcome. Regime change. Sometimes, it ends quite bloody as in the case of Syria, Iraq and Libya, sometimes it is prolonged as in the case of Hongkong, sometimes there is a seemingly bloodless transition as in the case of Nigeria. Only "seemingly" as the goal is always to disrupt economies, alignment with the "wrong foriegn interests",etc. So in moving from the top 3 growing economies in the world (CNN Money, 2015 assessment) to the World Poverty Capital, the goal is achieved, seemingly "bloodlessly".

You want "proof"? lol, I am writing a journal paper on these sort of interventions in the Global South. Once it is published, I will put the link here. It will be your proof and you can disagree with the editors.

Kingspin:

Clearly, you are not ready for any sort of discussion.
I have no more to say to you.

rottennaija:
And which is your evidence?

I have stated what I stated- that Western intervention was instrumental in 2015 elections.
You have disputed it- the onus on you, who is disputing, to argue why you dispute it. Not on me. That is not how it works. Buhari was declared the winner in 2019. Atiku disputed it -with evidence in his legal challenge.

This is how the world works, you see.

Appointment Of Soludo Makes Me Believe President Buhari Means Well For Nigeria

Prof Soludo is one of those who should be president of Nigeria one day. He is an uncommon visionarie

It is only an uncommon visionarie who could have moved the minimum capital requirement for banks in Nigeria from 2 to 25 billion Naira. That is what Soludo did. And because of what Soludo did, any time the top 500 banks in the world is announced, Nigeria is sure to have some banks there.

Soludo as “Member” when he should be Charing that committee.
Do you know what a “member” does? Is a “member” a decision maker? You Buhari worshipers are clowns to be honest.

rottennaija:
It's sad that the west has been interfering in foreign govt for years and it's all about their interests and what they can get from the country not what they will give to it.

Let's not for any reason think that the west is interested in our well being. They are not.

It is the West that enabled the Buhari 2015 Presidency. That enough is supposed to tell any average thinking Nigerian that the West isn’t supporting Nigeria. They don’t have to.

In-form Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has given Super Eagles a major boost by refusing to rule out switching his allegiance to Nigeria.

The 21-year-old who was born in the UK to Nigerian parents is currently the joint-leading scorer with Sergio Aguero in the Premier League, So far, the pair have seven goals each.

Despite representing England at Under 18, Under 19 and Under 21 levels Tammy is still eligible to play for the three-time African champions, through his Nigerian parents.

Speaking on the situation, Abraham told Goal: ‘Yes, I have heard the talk. I have not really been focused on that yet.

‘I think when the time comes, the times comes. It is about focusing on Chelsea and hopefully scoring goals and getting victories.

‘We never know. You can never say never, whatever comes first really. I just have to keep full focus on Chelsea.

Don’t change, you’ll just become another Agbolanhor. I trust the English. They’ll give you one cap and make sure you don’t play for another country all your playing life because of that one cap.

Unless you are as good as Messi or Ronaldo, you cannot become the mainstay of the England national team, the main striker. Daily Mail, The Sun, will tear you with their racist publications tilll you are dropped.

Iwobi switched to play for Nigeria and says that’s the best decision he ever took in football. Let’s hope Abraham has non-white, good advisors.

A Nigerian lady has revealed the 'modus operandi' of the alleged serial killers on the lose in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, Igbere TV reports.

This comes barely 24 hours after another female victim was found dead in an hotel room in the city of Port Harcourt, on Sunday.

At least, 10 ladies have been reportedly killed under similar circumstances, within the space of few months all in Port Harcourt.

According to the Twitter user, who shared the tips in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV, the killers are ritualists who pose as potential customers to unsuspecting victims.

According to her, most of their victims (all females) are online vendors who are usually lured to the hotels to deliver "pay on delivery" wares.

She also claimed that the killers(male) usually use a lady to communicate with the "vendors", making it look really unsuspicious.

She said such "vendors", upon arrival at the hotels, are lured to the rooms by the female posing as customer, with flimsy excuse of being too lazy to walk, or not dressed up.

When asked by her followers how she managed to gather such information, she claimed a friend who was lucky not to have fallen victim, shared the story.

According to the story, the lady overheard a male voice at the background of the telephone conversation with her suppose female buyer.

She claimed her friend heard a male voice whispering to her suppose customer 'tell her to come to the room', which made her to quickly exit the premises.
