Are you a fulani apologist......even in the north the destructive fulani herdsmen are being tackled. Its a menace that permeate the sahel all the way to Senegal.

But we know that beater leaf proponents must always wail at every opportunity of bad news about our country.

Might not be a bad idea for you to join vigilante in your village to help chase away killer herdsmen.

It's too early in the day to be drunk, ehn?

The main reason Nigeria qualified for the World Cup play-offs over Burkina Faso recently was due to a technical rule concerning how the best runners-up were ranked, combined with a superior goal difference in the final adjusted standings.

Here is the breakdown, likely referring to the CAF qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup:

The Rule for Runners-up: The Confederation of African Football (CAF) had a rule that, when ranking the second-placed teams across the groups to find the "best four" for the play-offs, the results against the sixth (last-placed) team in each group were discounted (removed). This rule was applied because one group (Group E) had one less team due to Eritrea's withdrawal.

Impact on Burkina Faso: Burkina Faso had accumulated a high number of points (21) in their group. However, six of those points came from their two wins (home and away) against the last-placed team, Djibouti. When these results were removed, Burkina Faso's adjusted total dropped significantly to 15 points with an adjusted goal difference of +6.

Impact on Nigeria: Nigeria finished their group with 17 points. The last-placed team in their group (Zimbabwe) was more competitive, and Nigeria only managed two draws against them. When the results against the last-placed team were removed, Nigeria only lost two points, leaving them with an adjusted total of 15 points.

The Deciding Factor (Goal Difference): After the deductions, both Nigeria and Burkina Faso were level on 15 points. However, Nigeria finished with a superior goal difference (+7 for Nigeria versus +6 for Burkina Faso), which allowed Nigeria to take the final play-off spot among the best runners-up.

In short, Burkina Faso was hurt more by the rule because they took more points from their last-placed opponent than Nigeria did from theirs.

gulfer:
This is so unfair, FIFA should step in and demand answers from CAF, surely there must be a reason for this travesty. The table before points deductions 👇 Such should be made cear from start and not shifting goal posts as we go

I don't support evil.

Qatar has a lot of money so much it spend it on funding irrelevant things like religious extremism globally
They are a very sneaky and US knows but
The only Reason US still want Qatar on its side is because of its military base which can be used as deterrence against Iran and Qatar got a lot of money to spend for that.

Qatar also wants US protection from Iranian influence because it's a monarch. Iran isn't friendly to Arab monarch. They want Islamic theocracy everywhere.

For US It's better to keep that rich annoying friend than to lose him to your enemies.
For Qatar it's better to still get US protection and still be in power than to lose its head to Iranian extremist.

Middle east politics is weird

While people were suffering and complaining in (4 or 5 hours) traffic without moving anywhere, this guy. . .

Is there a need for another road corridor to Lekki, Yes
Is there an urgent need for Lagos to Calabar via the coast at such an humongous cost, No

The Rivers State house of Assembly has no power to probe the former Sole Administrator. It’s only the National Assembly that has an oversight authority over an administrator in an emergency rule situation and no one else.

Obasanjo wanted to sell it out, it was Atiku who objected it. Atiku boys still running the refineries

marlow1962:
Why una be like this na, why u go dy compare cia,kg and American secret service to our personal lap dog dss? You compared them just to hype and feel better about your lap dogs dss?

lexy2014:
how is the US secret service equivalent to DSS?

SmartyPants:
There is no direct equivalent of the DSS in the US. What the DSS does here is more of a combination of what the FBI do and the Secret Service. A perfect comparison is DSS plus EFCC equals FBI plus Secret Service.

kkonyeji:
Say your own na and not to say what someone said is FALSE.
Fgs, that's his opinion, you can make your opinion without attacking his.

Racoon:
The DSS is supposed to be unheard of, akin to the American CIA, Israel - Mossad or the Russian KGB. However, this arm of government has metamorphosed to an organ of state oppression, repression and suppression. This is too bad.

This is a country. God bless America. See how they value their people
