AlabiKILLER2023:
When you look at this Chelsea team very well


Non of this players is actually good enough


Over hyped Cucurella one of the worst left back ever

Caisedo zero football sense
Just getting yellow cards
Not in the level of
Essien
Mikel
Markelele
Ramirez
Kante


Enzo Fernandez hardly scores
Hardly assist

What does he offer ? Nothing

the coach is confused, he should be shown the way out.

You guys should stop blaming the Power minister for power problems in Nigeria

UNtil all of you NIgerians are ready to pay cost reflective tarrif, they can make Jesus christ minister of power and we will still be in darkness.

POwer has been privatised since 2013, and all your goverments since then have been starving it of funds in the name of keeping power cheap. You people also clap for those who chase away people that come to disconnect those that steal power.and you hail the power theives..and meter bypassers......and you expect light?

You can abuse me now, but facts is facts...and yes, I do not like the power minister, na politican, but facts is facts.

I mean in 2013, GEJ had a professor of electricity in charge of the ministry, yet we were having groid collapses and power issues, because of lack of cost reflective tarrif

I mean until band A came along, all the country was underpaying for power. ANd after band A came, na only 20% of the country wey dey pay for power at cost reflective rate, the rest underpay and now 20% don't even pay for the power they use.

And people like it that way, as do your politicans...meaning no money or investment to improve things (if you had a billion dollars, you go put am for power supply, where you won't see ROI because people think that electiricty must be free of charge).

So at the end, you end up in darkness.

And again, until cost reflective tarrifs are in place, or until you are ready to tolerate borrowing of up to 20-30 trillion naira annually for at least 5 years, ie at most 150 trillion naira over 5 years to fix things, nothing will change.

And yes, there is corruption, because when you starve a business of its right to set prices, they will make money by wuru wuru ways. And yes, that is why you have to buy wires , poles and transformers, because most of you don't want to pay the cost reflective tarrif that would enable the discos and gencos buy all that and fix it for you.

See the problem? Oh no, na to blame generator people, and even Atiku self..lol. As if Atiku dey sell all the generators for nigeria.

Never ever support a government like tinubu that believes in setting prices.

I mean, see our telecoms sector. When it was NITEL, and when people were paying government price, the sector was bad. Then GSM came in and service improved because GSM companies were allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs.

Even then NTEL, the government run GSM company, at once point, MTN and econet were charging twice of what NTEL was charging....which meant they could afford better services compared to NTEL...which crashed. Today it exists as a phoenix company that only offers internet service.

so Band A is not cost reflective tariff?

When I first converted my physical SIM to eSIM at MTN office sometime in 2024, I was given a picture with a QR code, and I was told to scan the code on my new device whenever I want to transfer my SIM. I got a new device and tried scanning the code, several times, that did not work. Went to MTN office and they activated the eSIM for me on my new device, and I was then told that subsequently I should go to their offices if I want to activate the SIM on a new device.

I showed them the QR code that they gave to me back then to be using to scan and transfer eSIM, they said it does not work. That I should always go to their office if I have a new device.

So apparently that Europe method does not work in Naija yet. 🤦🏽‍♂️

was your fingerprint taken to verify you're the actual owner of the sim card?

SixSeven:
It's NCC regulations. Read my comment above. It's because of the kidnapping issues we have and identity problems they must have done, otherwise, if you let Nigerians just do it anywhere they are, anything (especially unauthorized SIM swaps) can happen

this is a rudimentary way to fight crime. Little why we ain't getting results.

MTN will not ask South Africans to visit their office to activate simple E-sim swap. Things like dis only happen in Nigeria

A country that has important tools as BVN and NIN is asking people to do voters card. What is it in that voters card that is not already embedded in NIN and BVN?

SixSeven:

I still disagree with you. You don't need my physical presence for all that. BVN, NIN, PUK can be used to make it more tough to maneuver. Mind you, it's ẹ-sim already connected to a sim that was registered before.

Ones physical presence is not needed in anyway.

Technology is a tool used to fight crime. We are not taking advantage of it.

ruffhandu:
Dunno how they activate esim in Nigeria, but in Europe, you don't need to leave your house. The provider sends you a qr code you scan and follow the steps.

we are actually backward in this country sha. I keep wondering why I need visit their office to scan a QR code when they can actually send same to me via sms or WhatsApp. We just refuse to adapt to modern things.

Why is the pope not directly attacking for starting a needless war in Ukraine? I think the pope is allowing his human emotions play out, which is bit very nice for his position.

Iran's political and religious extremism needs to be tamed. Not even the Vatican is safe from their extremism.

4otty4our:
You know nothing, osimhen is a top striker who is always hungry for goals, he presses through the game and keeps the keeper and defenders on their toes, he his very good with head and can make runs past defenders.it will be a very good buy for Barca because finally those passes from yamal,raphina and pedri will be properly converted cuz they will believe in his abilities

u understand football wella. Osimhen is very very prolific.

EmekaBlue:
Osimhen sometimes I think we over hype him but he is doing well

Osimhen is not overhyped. I've watched dude wella. He will singlehandedly bully defenders to submission and score or assist. He's a prolific player. My only issue with him is his temperament.

owobokiri:
If Putin strikes them, nothing will happen apart from sanctions and noise from the west.
Any attempt to strike Russia will lead to their collective obliteration.

isreal no be Ukraine óò. Russia will not try to strike a nuclear armed state. He dares not.

erad:
Lol... Israel and sovereignty in the same sentence sounds weird.

I'm guessing Putin is just trying to make Trump understand he doesn't have the monopoly of invading countries he doesn't agree with. That's what happens when a precedence of madness is set by a mad man. I strongly doubt Putin will go ahead with it though. He's not an unhinged POS.

so Putin invading Ukraine is what? Precedence indeed.

FreeStuffsNG:
Separately, Russia’s Defense Ministry published a list of sites it claims are involved in manufacturing drones and related equipment for Ukraine. The list includes facilities in major cities such as London, Munich, Prague and Riga, with components also produced in Madrid and at several locations in Italy, including Venice.

They want to defeat Putin through the back door and using Iran as a decoy.

Trump blew up factories that Iran use to produce and supply drones to Russia, now it is the turn of Russia to blow up factories used to produce drones supplied to Trump.

Welcome to the world of tit for tat elemi lo ma last.

Meanwhile, Trump has bowed to the demand of Iran that a ceasefire must hold in Lebanon before another round of talks

unfortunately Isreal is not Ìran. Putin won't try that rubbish with Isreal...

jazzman7711:
OH Please. They know Iran is no threat to America even with nuclear weapons. AMERICA HAS THOUSANDS OF NUKES. How is Iran a threat to them?

Nukes are a deterrent. They are not offensive weapons except for America, the one terrorist nation that has used them. TWICE.

having thousands of nukes is not the issue, the guts to use them is. Iran with just one nuke will obliterate an enemy.

donleo92:
I love trump oooh...

Dude know these European nations for who dey are

He know they are all talks/ lecture with zero actions

Europe feel that, not supporting America would make America weak or what

They don't know now it's America first, because America has seen them for who they are

Someone said no body want to align with America because of Donald Trump,

Let me tell you, anybody that becomes Americans next president would still take the part of America first and ditch most European nations....

I even see America aligning with China now, than Europe

Europe are just using America for their gain. Trump teaching them the hard fact.

Axis313:
There are reasons why former American presidents didn't invade Iran.
But Trump,power drunk and blinded by arrogance decided to walk where the former presidents refused to tread.
Before the unjust war,Iran wasn't controlling the Strait of Hormuz,but they're in control of the Strait now, even collecting tolls.
Only Trump can do that.

simply because they lacked the courage. Even China and Russia agrees Iran shouldn't have a nuclear weapon.

dermmy:
2

Reasons they have to get their own nuclear weapons. I think many people like you think it is only U.S that is free to assasinate the leaders of other countries.

imagine bokoharam having nuclear weapon. Keep pondering.....

grandstar:
You are here making the biggest mistake.

I dont like the Mullahs.

Israel wanted to use this war to achieve regime change in Iran. Netanyahu wants the support of the Iranian masses, so bombing civilian neighbourhood would do the opposite.

Nevertheless, Iran is bombing military bases in Israel. If military facilities arent safe, how much civilian?

Israel and the US wont "win" this war. Their objective of regime change will not be achieved. Worse, the US has to negotiate with Iran before the war can end, and the Strait of Hormuz reopened. This entranches the Mullahs further, the very opposite of regime change

All the terms will favor the Iranians

I am surprised Nigerians like yourself are ignorant.

Why do you think the Nigerian government chose the Amnestry programne in the Niger Delta rather than fight the militants?

Because the militants were blowing up oil installationa, the government was forced to negotiate, and pacify the militants by starting the amnesty program.

Have you heard the saying, "The bull in a China shop"? That was what the Nigerian government was contending with it. The militants were the bull, while the oil installations was the China shop.

Its the same thing playing out in the Middle East. Iran is now the bull, while there oil assets is the China shop.Iran is ready to destroy the China shop and thats why everyone is scared.

It has closed the Strait of Hormuz.

we are talking about international real politik you're talking about Nigerian govt.

grandstar:
The US and Israel both underestimated Iran and Iran has now fully taken off its gloves.

Iran is bombing US bases. Its so embarrasing that its a joke.

All those, "Israel is Gods own country," refuse to accept the painful reality that Israel has been outplayed.

Iran was never going to fighr fair. It has always made that clear.

It knows where to hit Israel to make the biggest impact, and thats civilian areas.

But its also hitting military installations and bases inside Israel.

The sooner the US commence negotiations, the better for everyone.

when Isreal drops one on civilian area, clowns will shout war crime. Here you're promoting an attack on civilian population.. .

greenermodels:
Honestly, Iran have proved a very solid point regardless of how this war ends, USA wouldn't try the stunts they pulled in Venezuela and Iran elsewhere again, not even in Cuba.

what are they proving with over 20 leaders gone? They will likely lose more in this war.

Things fall apart just before the ant hills of the savannah.

OSUigboFlatHead:
Can you even imagine the audacity!

They think they can just fly freely in their enemy's airspace without consequence.

The US can be so arrogant and stupid. What were they expecting?
Rescue mission kee all of una there. BLOODY TERRORISTS.

let Iran try same on Isreal's airspace, I want to check something.

ogaemma:
Macron Says Military Operation To Liberate "Strait Of Hormuz" Unrealistic

France officially joins other America Allie's to refused to be part of a military operations in Iran.
Now it is Austria.

At this point, Tump must exercise caution.
He is standing alone in this war.
It is time to back off.

Trump doesn't need them afterall. They need America more.

Gotocourt:
Idiots always claim to be neutral 🤷🏿

Once you hear diplomacy, you are been cheated, it's a old trick for manipulation 📌💯.

funny enough, the same people shouting Iran is stockpiling weapons and going nuclear are the ones doing the drama. One thing dey so fail to understand is that this is not just about Trump, it shows who they truly are. Allies whem they need your help. Gradually, future American leaders will leave Europe to their fate.

OAFMods:
What is the workd watching ? A foolish country Isreal n usa went to attack a soverign country Iran who is bold enough to defend itself n attack it enemies ?!

with all their leaders gone init? Properties can be rebuilt, but human lives never.

Look at the developer critically, you can predict where he comes from.

When that building is pulled down you will begin to hear tribal slur

you need to grow up. Politics is not the be all and end all.

Ironfaceman:
Wow! Just wow!, for nairalanders wondering how wike is working for APC and still wants to be a member of PDP. Here is your answer.

Mind you Uche Ogah, Sen. Nkechi Nwaogu and Chris Akomas. Were expelled from APC just because they attended Gov Alex Ottis programme and recommended him for 2nd term. The same court will uphold the APC request.

All this are indicators that the judges and the court are following a script.

it's best for them to avoid that Wike PDP and move to another. As for the Nigerian judiciary, a travesty.

tiwasiaife:
They caused his mother's death and also cane to bury and sympathize.
