Good idea.

Beef

Eko forever.

Nigerian giant, Kamaru Usman retained his welterweight championship with a hard-earned win over Colby Covington in the main event of UFC 268 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday morning.

Kamaru Usman became the first African to win the UFC championship belt.

The ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ took the fight via unanimous decision after five tough rounds, though the champion’s 19th straight victory and a fifth successful defence of his belt was well deserved, given his superior striking power and the fact that he almost finished ‘Chaos’ near the end of round two after landing a couple of massive left hooks.


Covington had no chance, against the Nigerian giant
It’s a second win over Covington for Usman – the first arrived just under two years ago and was a classic in the welterweight division – and the fact that this fight went the distance and was again very evenly-matched suggests that this rivalry is not done yet.

“I know there was a lot of trash talk, a lot of bad blood here and I’m sure there’s still gonna be some after tonight, but this guy’s a tough son of a b*, he’s tough as s. I wanted to get crazy, try get him out of there, but I knew with a guy like this, he’s gonna creep back in it and we’re gonna end up in a situation [going to the judges’ score cards] that we don’t want to be in,” said Usman after the fight.

He added, “I am the pound-for-pound best alive right now.”

Score card: Main event: Welterweight championship: Kamaru Usman def. Colby Covington via unanimous decision (48-47 48-47 49-46), R5, 5:00

Riches...luxury bought from the suckers.

There's a sucker born every day.

Maga must pay.

Yahoo is the way.

That's all I have to say.

Let's call it a day

I dey rhyme abi ?

A sucker indeed is born everyday...if you know you know

Our tradition is our essence...our traditions works for us.

Interesting thread

Druss:
You are being mischievous. He clearly stated that he prays Nigeria is there in 2023. He even hinted that people would use his statement in this way.

What he clearly meant was that you do not know what the future holds so be careful when planning for the future.

Ordinary Nigerians politicize more than politicians in Nigeria, most of them know what Adeboye means, he clearly explained, trust Nigerians, they like to bash Naija

Abeg make una no put Adeboye for trouble o, bloggers

Try not to misconstrue the context.

When you showcase all these weapons of mass destruction, how do you expect the government and security forces to treat you

He is even saying he will destroy the world,don't let UN intervene, then the war won't stop.

All these could be publicity stunt...must you show everyone your car on social media...these ladies funny.

Overheads and recurrent expenditure, must be reviewed and reduced across board. Nigeria needs to be investing in news ways to make money, the world is phasing out fossil fuels, no more customers for our crude anymore. Government can make a lot of revenue, by improving the human resources and making money from taxes. Our entertainment industry is another foreign exchange earner. Government can work with management companies specialized in entertainment facilities, and support in building world class studios and auditoriums, where world events are hosted... something like the 02 arena, it will attract a lot of foreign investment. Training institution are also important, so Nigerians learn useful skills, to make them self sufficient. Let's invest in our human resources, Sports, entertainment, skills aquisition, as well as intellectual property, these are goldmine to boost our GDP, but security and peace is paramount, otherwise nothing can be achieved. This present set of politicians should pass bills to reduce cost of running government. We can save 50% of what we are presently spending. Nigeria is not a rich country like America, our minimum wage clearly tells us that. The disparity is too much.

An officer was there...is vote buying not an offense, in our electoral act?

May the souls of the departed find peace. Next time, we must ensure we follow due process, and shun mediocrity in our state's buildings regulation authority.

NYSC as a government institution should be making revenue for government.

He was at the wrong place and the wrong time. Those who died were at the right place at the right time to exit the hologram as soul family. Nothing happens without a reason, those who died had to exit.

Tick tock, Tick tock, tick tock.

Accidents do happen, human error, this is a clear example of negligence and human error...not necessarily faith.

roundman:
Police chase them away, nigerian police useless as always.

But the rescue operations continued, I guess it was for their safety... Nigerian Police are still human beings with sense na

Very poor, compared to what politicians enjoy.

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggar
Not surprised...it is a normal thing




This are some of the things that comes along side the struggle for secession, emancipation and uprising

There will be anarchy, lawlessness ....some miscreants will take advantage while the real fighters for freedom will be fighting.....just like end sars protest

But when the secession finally comes.... there comes the light.....and orderliness....but not in all case....orderliness never returned to Libya till this day

Although am not an ardent supporter of biafra and oduduwa but I will keep on saying it the way it is...because am a real niggarrr

It's dicey, just like Libya, it's a risky bet. I pray we solve our issues politically.

Most creatives live in their heads for so long that the outside world becomes "bleaker" than it really is,they prefer the realities they create rather than the one they live in. They would willingly sacrifice their love for you,even your heart for a beautiful muse. At the end of the day you'll be stuck,addicted to one whom is addicted to his own mind.

Brilliant

Nigerians change this mentality, money is not everything.

kettykin:
If your strength is in your diversity then what on earth is stopping an igbo presidenti

Am not a politician, am just saying, no one wins in a situation of violence.

We are a strong resilient people.

There are over 400 tribes in Nigeria, don't take yourself too serious or important. Learn to ignore what you hate.
Nairaland says no to secessionists...we are over 200million Nigerians hate and dissent from a few numbers do no count.

gidgiddy:
Our strength is in our diversity? This is a coded way of unity begging

You all can ignore this thread, there are other threads about Ohaneze and ipob, this is a thread for peace in Nigeria.

Lots of Nigerians love the project, God will help us all to enjoy Nigeria.

Wild wild animal.
