PSG vs Chelsea at the Champions League Final
I want to check something

Nothing to check, PSG will totally annihilate Chelsea.

oranget:
Where's the lie?

It's a statement of fact, I was just shocked that CNN could be so open with the truth

juman:
He is short guy.
Hard work led him to this status.
Real hard work.

Not only hardwork. Talents meant for half of a country are naturally deposited in him

While watching CNN today, the journalist was comparing Ronaldo to Messi; he said "Ronaldo is a proven goal scorer but Messi is naturally more intelligent on the pitch". My mouth opened up straight off.

You can confirm watching Sport on CNN tonight.

The only way out is to encourage export business so we can earn more foreign exchange…

But the truth still remains that govt agencies is dealing seriously with the export business.
Ask me why.
Am into trans.and the last thing I will do again is to transport export container to the seaport..
You will pay bribe of nothing less than 200k and it will still take up to two to three weeks to drop the container at the port..
Lasma,police,navy areaboys,NPA. Will be bitten the drivers on a daily bases denying them access road to port,just to make sure you settle well after doing the necessary things you need to do
As am talking now very few transporter will agree to do export work.

And we’re talking about earning foreign currency.
Govt should first create an environment for export business in Nigeria and priorities the access road.
If possible they should send their DSS to clear the roads and arrest those people that hindered the movements of trucks going to seaport…
If not dollars is heading to 1000k before december 2021

That's part of the corruption we are talking about. The police and other related agencies are something else

Ngasky:
The BDC's are criminals. But on another note this guy did nothing in the video.
If you are analysing something you must proffer solution after stating the problem. But unfortunately he didn't proffer any other feasible solution. Imagine BDC operator gaining profit of more than 100 naira for every single dollar. How can you regulate them to stop?
Money is the root of evil. And these people have enough to buy off any agency inspecting them.
I believe the solution is exactly what CBN did. Whoever needs dollar should go to his bank and use his account to buy at the official rate. It will be easier for CBN and financial regulators to know who buys what currency and what he aims to do with it.
Nobody will come every week claiming he needs dollars. So it can be controlled.
The problem is the criminals and corrupt government employees (civil/public) that will contunue to look for dollar to keep as security.
For now the BDCs' are claiming it is business as usual. But with time they will run out of foreign currency and that market will collapse. someone will think scarcity will make dollar to appreciate but look at this now anybody can access the dollar at the official rate from his personal bank. so who will leave official rate and go and pay 100+ more naira per single dollar from black market?
Now people will think someone with physical dollar will not go to bank to sell his $ because it is more at the black market. but the same black market will crash because if they cant sell because everyone is buying from bank. so if they cant sell definitely they will not buy. or at least they will only buy below the official bank rate. so this will force the customer to go to the bank.
Imagine 5000 BDC in 37 states. that is more than 135 BDC company in each state in Nigeria�. something is definitely wrong

Nice analysis but I beg to differ. I feel they will still sell. FG doesn't have enough dollars to go round, so they will limit how much you could get. Also, there are some businesses that you can't get USD at an official rate for. So you will be forced to get USD at the black market.

Oil is not selling , that's our mainstay to earn dollars.Diversification is the only way out. It will get worse before it gets better. If we don't export a lot of items to earn USD, we are deceiving ourselves. We need to produce locally what we normally get from abroad. No two way around it. You cant trust the banks to be honest over the little USD being disbursed by the FG.

Corruption and lack of diversification have finished Nigeria as a Nation but we are still optimistic.

Minjim:
Barcelona gave Messi the chance for the world to know him.
After having everything, when it was time to stick with Baca, he ditched them for money

Ronaldo fan spotted.

maxwell530:
Messi can't win an international trophy
Messi should leave Barcelona and take on new challenge.... Lol


The new trend now is

Copa America is fluke
Ligue 1 is farmer league

Don't mind them.....laughsss.

I love farmers that reached final of champions leagues. Engineer and Doctors of other clubs participated in the same champions league but na farmers who were the 2nd best team in Europe.

PSG was Messi away from winning the champion league

Adiob200:
...all messi fans saying he love barca , see now....money first

You guys can't be pleased. You asked him to leave his comfort zone, now he has. If he doesn't leave Barca, you lot will still say he is afraid. He has moved now, come and see magic in Paris.

MERCHANDISER:
Abeg quote me if you see.
I dey Lagos

We don dey plenty....laughs

Enoch3721:
Just don't come and flop o Na daT 1 go funny Me pass am out of here

Messi flopping in PSG? Unthinkable. It is Lionel Messi we are talking about.

They asked him to win cup for Argentina senior team, he did. They asked him to move, he has moved. The magic is about to happen in Paris. His haters should sit down with popcorn in their hands as the season film is about to start.

KiNg0G:
Am scared for him though.


The expectations are high than before.

Don't be scared, rather other clubs should be scared of PSG. The missing link has arrived

moscobabs:
Barca fans how market?

Barca still get fans?. I have moved with Messi sharp sharp. New PSG fan here

Agboriotejoye:
OBJ quickly reacted to any lawlessness during his time regardless of tribe. Just as you cited that of Gani Adams. Can same thing be said of Buhari?

When you want to determine what is "lawful", you revert back to the constitution. Will you accept that Igboho act is "unlawful" considering that he is agitating for secession and stockpiling arms? Does the constitution justify secession?. The president swore to protect and defend this same constitution. That means if you are agitating for it, you are being unlawful. It is the constitution that states that, not me.

If you want to secede, you have people in the twin houses - Senate and House of Rep. Even if you dont believe in them, they are the one that constitution recognises to be representing each state. Let them move the motion on the floor of the house for secession.

Is El Zak Zaky from the South? is Dariye from the South? Are boko harams and bandits that were continuously bombed southerners? Let us be objective please. Dont give a dog a bad name in other to hang it.

Have you heard any of your senators or house of rep openly supporting secession? Even teh Governors in the East distanced themselves from Kanu. If you do not have any backing of these people, believe me, there is nothing any individual can achieve. They are the only constitutionally recognised entities.

You expect the president of a Nation to fold his arms while some ragtags are agitating to secede. Even in spain, those agitators for Cataluyna nation were thrown into jail. Like I said I am a Yoruba who is objective and I will appreciate sueprior intellectual discourse from your end, if any.

Agboriotejoye:
Anyone can claim to be Yoruba. But Yoruba don't embrace slavery nor defend murderers.

That's why Yorubas were at the forefront of Nigerian independence and regionalism while the north enjoy continued subservience to Britain.

That is also why a murderer in Yorubaland is ostracized together with his family.

Go and put a Yoruba brain in your body and stop supporting the murderer of your people

I am a Yoruba but not tribalistic. I look at events objectively and dont follow bandwagon. If we need a Yoruba nation, which I dont agree with anyway, it is not someone like Igboho with a violent past and blood stained hands that will lead us out of it. Go and ask people in Ibadan to tell you about this guy's antecedent. Someone that is being used by a known politician and former governor in Ibadan. No one can force their view on me and no one can force their purported new nation on me as well.

Agboriotejoye:
Odi were not agitators. Uwazuruike was never arrested by OBJ. Besides, OBJ will also not allow Fulani herders to murder people in their sleep all because of cows.

Sighting Odi was just to make you realise that OBJ always quickly reacted during his reign. If Buhari did what OBJ did in Odi, all hell would have been let loose. Obj arrested Gani Adams then and bombed Niger Delta to submission. He who wants to come to equity must come with clean hands.

Agboriotejoye:
You northerners are so addicted to oppression you look like subhumans

You are such a pathetic lot. You must insult any individual that does not align with your silly perspective. Is that how you intend to govern your new nation you are clamouring for. I am a full blooded Yoruba, and I have a right to my view, just like you have to yours. You cant even demonstrate a bit of intellectual civility to drive your point home.

salykely:
During Obasanjo's regime as a civilian president, Asari Dokibo agitated for a Niger Delta Republic. This same hypocrite called Obasanjo locked him up in DSS detention facility in Abuja. The same person is busy undermining his own country and another person's government on the same fact. Obasanjo has a history of doing to others what he would never tolerate.

It is a fact that this same Afenifere never supported Obasanjo. They saw him as a traitor to the Yoruba cause. But today, he has suddenly become the father of Africa. What we all should realise is the fact that loving our country is the beginning of taking a concrete step protect our security.

Quite an intelligent post. In addendum, the people have forgotten that in the current mix of things, OBJ is a featherweight. Buhari is the President and the commander in chief of the armed forces. Who do you think Beninoise govt will reckon with?

The kings you are all mentioning lack power in their states, not to talk across border. The constitution has packed them to one corner. Read carefully, they sent delegate to just "observe" the proceedings and nothing more. They can't influence anything.

If OBJ was in power, he would have arrested all these agitators long time ago. Have you all forgotten what happened in Odi?

Jostoman:
igboho really used his wisdom that day by not retaliate against those soldiers and DSS because he realized that they came to kill him and not arrest him.

You are so funny. Igboho didn't use any wisdom, rather he chickened out, while abandoning his supporters in the struggle. He lacked the capacity to confront the professionally trained DSS. He even abandoned his fake charm cloth. He just ran away

Princewell2012:
This is just a plot by the fulanis presidency, this plan is not for buhari but for any southern president coming in. This people think they are wise

I beg to disagree. Your submission was just a conspiracy theory. The same rule will apply to either northern or southern president. It is simply a way for the Senate to arrogate more political power to themselves.

Fahdiga:
What a day of mixed emotions. I'm happy to be alive to witness this day. Story for my grandchildren. They will all sit at my feet while I narrate how the greatest footballer ever left his childhood club

Same for me, and shame to his haters.

Ayo2004:
Like say no be Griezmann dey carry athletico before
Seems like u don't watch France matches, Griezmann is one of their best ballers

Messi go,Messi come,a Barca fan na Barca fan
Because rival fans dey banter against Barca no mean anything
That team dey very strong and can achieve much if they sack that coach and appoint a good one like Flick or someone else good

If Tottenham could reach UCL finals, Barcelona can win Laliga, domestic trophies and go far in the UCL
No more Messi so they go play more of a team and na wetin dey epp sevilla

He could be the best in Atletico but a proper misfit in Barca. The former president got it all wrong.

naptu2:
Was there any chance that you could reduce your contract.

Messi: I offered to reduce my contract.. .salary by 50% and they didn't ask me for any more. A lot of the things that are being said are lies. Some said that I asked for 30% more, it's not true.

A great indictment on Barca president who rode to the post with the promise to retain Messi's service.

This man is humble. This man is hugely talented. This man is the best. I have never admired anyone in football like him. He is the best ever

Ayo2004:
U guys dey underrate Barca o
If Sevilla can win Europa with no star player,why can't Barca win laliga if they play as a team with all those brilliant players

Barca lost me the day they signed that useless Griezman. I'm following Barca because of Messi, and definitely I am leaving with him

Football needs Messi than Messi needs football. Can you imagine a world cup without Messi? Take it or leave it, he has paid his due and I can't see, among living and dead footballers who is greater than this man.

He is the best ever!

That's a dangerous thing to do. Look beyond this president and act reasonably.

He is the number one security officer for the nation, he should be able to appoint who he feels comfortable with. This has nothing to do with Buhari, think of other future presidents coming in. Don't politicise this critical role.

You all keep abusing president, not knowing the greatest evils are the Senate, house of reps and the Governors. People are not even bothered to consider election into these posts important, except that of the Governor's.

Imagine the quality of people in our Senate and House of rep.With dire situation facing the nation, creation of more states is what they consider important. With the nation revenue dwindling on a daily basis, where will the FG gets monthly allocation to prop these states up. If there are enough quality in the house, the Senate will be checking the president and not the people.

We have long way to go.

Recognize greatness when you see one.

Beer parlour journalism once again. Igboho seeking asylum but locked up in prison. Does that make sense at all.

Igboho is being criminally charged for violating laws and illegally acquiring and using Beninoise passport.

The article stylishly didn't mention that. People have moved prioritized even bbnaija over Igboho, he is on his own, languishing alone inside the prison.

Beer parlour journalism once again.
