I'm sure barca was his choice but it seems barca had no interest in him

Weird seeing a la masia graduate play for Madrid

Real Madrid didn't sign Cucurella because they needed a left-back, they signed him just to avoid having zero representatives in Spain's FIFA World Cup squad. 😂😂😂

But why these commentators always disrespect CR7 by referring to De Lima as the “original Ronaldo”. Is CR7 the fake/copy Ronaldo?

If there are only two products in the market and the products didn’t come from the same manufacturer, then one must be the original and the other must be “photocopy” 🤣

Good morning to you all

Guys!

Pls i need your advice on a serious matter.

I am not the type who usually bring his private/family matter online for discussion but this has become imperative of me to do so as i do not know who might be of help. I also know there's no single way to train a child but with varying opinions here i will know which one to advice my sister.

My sister just told me that the anti-social in her daughter's school called to inform her that my niece is depressed and being suicidal. She's 12yrs going to be 13th in October. She doesn't sleep at night,keeps long in the toilet and often moody.

And guess her reason for being depressed and attempting suicide? That her parent don't love her as much as they love the other kids because they ask her to do house chores.

The said house chore is just to wash plate on Wednesday. She also complained that her junior brother use to disturb her. She also told the anti-social that her dad usually tell her to live by his rule or go somewhere.

Now my sister is contemplating on taking her to a burden school.

My advice is for the parents to take this seriously and create an environment where the girl can speak freely. She should feel safe to share her feelings without fear of being judged or scolded. Even if her reasons don’t seem reasonable they are reasonable to her. The priority should be understanding what is really troubling her and finding a solution.

A father will always be a father, but in this case, he should avoid harsh words for now, they might make her feel unloved. Right now, she needs love and open communication. If possible, a professional therapist might help more than sending her to boarding school, it may compound the situation.
I know many fathers may not agree with this, but it reflects the reality of the times we live in. Today's children are exposed to far more influences and information than previous generations, and adolescence age is a particularly sensitive and vulnerable stage of life, so a bit of caution is needed.

Ibime:
That is far from the problem otherwise Mali and Niger would have solved theirs

I never said that military rule is a magic solution that automatically eliminates insurgency. The fact that Mali and Niger still face security challenges only proves that terrorism is a complex problem, it does not prove that democracies and military regimes would respond to it in the same way.

One of my major points is the issue of negotiation and the and indifferent attitude of our democratic leaders toward persistent allegations about the sponsors and financiers of terrorism. If these individuals are truly sponsoring these groups and have never been questioned or investigated even once, what incentive do they have to stop? Such inaction by the government can easily be interpreted as a sign of weakness and an indication that they are free to continue operating without fear of consequences.

Secondly, our democratic governments have repeatedly negotiated with bandits and terrorists, directly or indirectly, to secure the release of victims. Yet despite years of negotiations, kidnappings have not stopped. If anything, they have become more frequent and more profitable.

This is their modus operandi, if I kidnap schoolchildren from Bauchi State today and the government negotiate with me, meet some of my demands, and I eventually release the victims, what lesson have I learned? That kidnapping works.
After lying low for a few months, I can strike again somewhere else, perhaps in Oyo State or Lagos, and expect another round of negotiations. The cycle simply continues.

This is the kind of blackmail that military governments would never entertain. Whether one agrees with their methods or not, they are far less likely to negotiate in a manner that makes them appear weak.
Repeatedly dancing to the tune of bandits only boosts their morale, strengthens their finances, and encourages further attacks.

The point is that the willingness of democratic governments to negotiate, coupled with the legal and political constraints under which they operate and the perceived indifference toward allegations against terrorist sponsors, can sometimes create incentives that embolden terrorists and their backers rather than deter them, an approach that military regimes may not likely to subscribe to.

I do not support military rule ooo, but these our leaders appear too weak, incompetent, and clueless to effectively tackle this menace, na only Obasanjo try small.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
There's nothing repentant about this terrorists. E dey defy logic say APC government don't realize that they're endangering the lives of soldiers & the masses with that terrorist rehabilitation & integration nonsense.

These are some of the reasons why many people argue that Africa is not yet fully prepared for democracy. Under a military regime, some of the things we see today would never happen. For instance, terrorists are arrested only to later be labeled "repentant terrorists" and reintegrated back into society. Such a policy would never happen under military rule.

Likewise, the repeated negotiations with bandits and even government having negatiation with bandits and payment of ransom would never occur in a military government rule.
Many believe that these criminal groups have powerful sponsors and financiers operating behind the scenes, but because leniency of democracy, its handicap them when it comes to acting ruthlessly, even if it wants to do so. you will soon begin to hear words such as, "This is a witch-hunt," an attack on bokoharam is attack on the north" "Due process must be followed," and "Only the court can determine if he is involved or not" with this democracy will struggle to act decisively against those who are suspected of financing terrorism.

Over the years, several individuals have been publicly accused or rumored to be linked to terrorist activities, yet none has never be investigated or prosecuted. These are the some of the leniency democratic governance, and with this leniency it creates an environment where some sponsors feel relaxed and protected. In contrast, a military regime would typically respond with swift and uncompromising action, whether rightly or wrongly, dem no care.

This is why some people contend that the security challenges facing many African countries expose the weaknesses of democratic systems when dealing with insurgency and terrorism.
I am not advocating for military rule, but the truth is that our democracy appears too weak to effectively deal with many of the serious challenges confronting the country.

BlueRayDick:
I've never understood the logic behind it. I've always seen news of Governors demolishing houses of suspected criminals; I think Wike did something like that while he was governor, the Current Edo Governor demolished houses of Suspected Cultists, I think one or two governors in the east did something similar in the past.....I don't just get the whole idea sha.

It's not like dmolishing the house will deter anybody from committing crime in the future. To me, it's just unnecessary waste of resources demolishing such properties.

I think a law was passed some years ago stating that any house used as a hideout for terrorists or kidnappers will be demolished, regardless of whether those involved were the landlord or tenants. But I'm not sure now whether it was a federal law or some states law.

Roland17:
Genuine question though, why don't we acknowledge traditional religious practices like Isese and others?

Is it because of it's duplicity? Like Blueraydick said, I have also met academic intellectuals and professionals who do not believe in Christianity nor Islam but actively practice a form of traditional religion.

I think the challenge lies in the diversity of many gods. For example, in Yorubaland alone, there are worshippers of Ogun, Oya, Obatala, Ifa, Osanyin, Sango, and many others. An Ogun worshipper will not bow to Oya goddess, while a Sango worshipper may not observe the same forms of worship associated with Obatala.

And these are just a few examples from the Yoruba people lànd ooo, I haven't even touch on the traditional beliefs of the Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic groups. So with such diversity, it would be extremely difficult to establish a single mode of worship unless everyone willingly agreed to one, which is likely not possible.

Pls watch this video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BRI-s98El4?si=zBCUD5k3w88tF9zp

This is a DSS DG saying this. I know the areas he mentioned in Bauchi. Azare, Bogoro and Tafawa-Balewa. The last 2 are Christian dominated areas. Thats where the new Brighton signing came from Yohana Zadok

I have watched the clip, and the man makes a valid point. While the legalization of firearms may help address some of Nigeria's security challenges, we should be realistic enough to understand that it may only reduce, (not eliminate) the major threats we are currently facing . At the same time, it will create new small-small security problems.

If the argument is that legalizing firearms would completely eradicate major security threats, then it is a position worth considering. but, if it just mere to reduce one form of insecurity while giving rise to another, then caution is necessary.

A good example is what is happening in parts of Ogun State today. Many parents are reluctant to send their children to school because of security concerns. Several private schools located on the outskirts of towns have been forced into compulsory holidays, while only government schools situated within the heart of major towns have been confident enough to remain open.

If guns is legalized , my concern is that we may end up exchanging one problem for another. That is the problems I have with the legalization of arms in Nigeria.7

BlueRayDick:
I also served in Kebbi, the village I served is close to Yauri. We always go from the village I served to Yauri market to buy things.

There was a gist that the Winners Chapel in Yauri was being built close the main road that enters Yaruri if u are coming from Niger state into Kebbi state. The church was already built to lintel level before the Muslim community rose and asked for the construction to be put on hold.

They kicked because they believe it is improper for a Church to be located close to the road at the enterance of the town. They can't stomach the idea that a church will be the first thing visitors will see when they enter the town. So had the winners church forfeit their building and decided to allocate another land to them which is off that road (Inside inside). As at 2014, the uncompleted church still stands there while the new church had since been competed at the new site.

They later named that area Ungwa Church (Which means church area) and that was the only place they allowed churches to be built. If u go there u will see CAC, Winners, RCCG, MFM, C & S, and even Olumba Olumba . The downside of that decision is if there's a religious crisis on a sunday morning, they can literally wipe off the Christian community if they descend on that area with weapons unannounced.

How can we know all these things and somebody will now be gaslighting us online? As much I hate everything about NYSC, I am actually grateful for the fact that it made one travel and see reality of things in some other parts of the country. The realities u will never believe if someone else was relaying it to you .....as in you will think they are embellishing the story.

I think the guy does not fully understand the atrocities and negative impacts Sharia law has already caused in parts of this country. We do not need Sharia law in Southwest Nigeria, period.
In 2011, during the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, Nigeria was drawn in the same group as Saudi Arabia. The hotel designated for the Saudi players had a Catholic church located right behind the hotel. The Saudi team demanded that the church be pulled down and demolished completely, just because its presence contravened their religious beliefs. What audacity, traveling to another sovereign country and demanding the removal of a place of worship simply because it is not your faith.
Just imagine if Sharia law were ever permitted in Southwest. Churches would likely be declared haram, and there could be calls for their demolition or severe restrictions on Christian worship. This single incident in Colombia reveals the inherent intolerance in stricter interpretations of Sharia toward other religions.
We must reject any attempt to introduce it in our region and protect the religious harmony that Southwest Nigeria has long enjoyed.

Raumdeuter, I dey wait for your opinion again ooo

Ericksen retired abeg oh! You may not be lucky again. Shebi competition don dey drag you again!

God gave him a second chance after the first collapse. Now it’s happening a second time, and he still refuses to heed the warning signs. Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to walk away. A third time may not come with the same mercy. I pray it doesn’t happen, but if it does, I won’t waste my RIP on him.

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

monerozi5590:
That's not respect. You know this! They are plenty places within the same state where you can do it.

You go to a Muslim dominated area and decide to step on the Koran or burn it. That's disrespect. You are disrespecting their religion culture

I think you are missing the point.
As of today, Nigeria is still a secular state, and the Constitution of Nigeria guarantees everyone the freedom to practice their religion.

Just for example, during Ramadan this year, I read about a woman whose buka was destroyed because she was cooking during ramadan, and these people destroyed food items worth of millions of naira just because she was cooking.
There was also another incident, I think in Lagos or Ibadan where a man was eating Gala in a bus, and was confronted by a passenger who told him to stop eating just because he was fasting, how does that make sense, It eventually led to a serious fight.

So if you are fasting during Ramadan, must I fast too? If Ramadan is compulsory for Muslims, should Christians also be forced to fast?

It’s just like with Good Friday, When some Christians choose not to eat meat, fish, or anything with blood, imagine they now force Muslims not to eat meat or fish on good Friday just because it goes against their belief. Se Katakata no go burst?

Abeg, we should support laws that unite us and protect everyone’s freedom, not laws that divide us by imposing one group’s religious practices on others.

It's an affront on common sense if Pastor Enoch Adeboye denies not participating in "Occupy Nigeria".

May God forgive you, I just need one of the video, just one ooo

Anyone that says otherwise should come with facts.
