Let the whole Super Eagles dripping translate to results!

Hahaha, sell outs indeed!

Proudlyngwa:
Why I am against federal Government tax rubbish.

I believe tax is an obligation

Tax is an obligation indeed, and no sane mind should go against tax, but the level of clarity in the new tax law is poor, many points were shrouded in unclear personal interpretations. Also, accountability in previously paid taxes is making Nigerians think they're wasting money by paying tax. What do we have to show for all the income generated in this country? Whether via taxes, borrowing, sales of crude or other earnings??

Inasmuch as the new tax laws and reforms may not be bad, we need more of economic prosperity, increase our earnings and our purchasing power, give naira more value, support local industries, make good stable policies that will attract investors and create jobs, provide good sustainable basic amenities; then come up with all these tax laws and reforms. You don't tax our poverty, you tax our riches!

Let's see the policy the new appointees will come up with, as for Farouk and co, their sabotage is treasonable!

Day don break, has it not been in place before?

SlavaUkraini:
So they steal Election from the grocery ?

Some people's brain are working irrationally.

How and what criteria did they use in compiling this list?

Vilgax:
Nigeria falls between 65-68...

but the IQ is a poor measurement of intelligence because they focus mostly on logical/analytical skills, ignoring crucial aspects like creativity, emotional intelligence, wisdom, and practical skills.

A person with a good logical/analytical skill is very intelligent, they are measuring intelligent quotient (IQ), not emotional intelligence, wisdom, or otherwise!

simigold:
Is Nigeria really ready for such diversion? With the current state of security, border lapses, fake items and the high level of corruption in the system. The current port is corrupt and allowing multiple entry is akin to expanded corruption. Technology must be fully ready to capture revenue at the center

No state or border in Nigeria has lesser corruption than others, and don't wait till you're fully ready before you start that life changing event or job.
Learn on the job or business; there are jobs, businesses or even life events that you cannot be fully prepared (no matter how long you prepare) till you experience them!

Lagos will be a better, less decongested city if this is done but the Lagos politicians are scared of the economic implications, while ordinary Lagosians thought it will reduce the hype, but with adequate planning and execution, the city will outgrow those fears!

His choice!
Nigerians should be wise in following these men of God, with great sense of discernment!!
That's how the rich Muslims don't care about Sharia and Hisbah in their personal doings.

kachistone:
They might know it o. Don't forget that the "new anthem" was the old one they used as students in primary and secondary schools while they were still young.

It is people that are 45 and below (apart from those in primary schools) that might struggle with the "new anthem" as we didn't grow with it.

You're very correct, older ones will know it because they used it during their school days.

Hedonisco:
I'm not sure why he needs to know the senators names. How does that affect his ability to do the job?

Ambassadors role is not only about being smart or a technocrat; you also need to know the inherent politics, such as that of your state, home country and the country you are posted to.
If you can't accurately recount the politics of your home country and state; what the assurance of the politics of the country and probably some states in the country you are posted to?

I am sure 80% of the nominees cannot recite the new National Anthem!

Wike sang on your mandate we stand.
Fubara's own: No more corner corner!
We need a remix!!!

You never get everything you need in yourself, na your spouse you dey expect everything?
No be wisdom nah!

All these ones na too much worry una dey worry, my guy dey carry girls number for head, he no dey save anything. If you call him at any unwanted hour he will ask who you be and off phone on your ear!

Travel involves taking into consideration a lot of things, one being the safety aspect. It’s always better to assess before-hand, rather than facing issues later on. In this context, understanding global crime trends might help one to make informed decisions for sure. This index involves looking at multiple indicators rather than a single number. Crime Index and Safety Index scores, are compiled semi-annually by statistics platform Numbeo, with range from 0 to 100, where lower Crime Index scores and higher Safety Index scores are preferable. Another major tool is the Global Organised Crime Index (GOCI), which uses data across three subcategories: Criminal Markets, Criminal Actors, and Resilience. These include everything from financial and cyber crimes to trafficking networks and the strength of a country’s judiciary and policing systems

1. Haiti - 81.0
An estimated 150–200 gangs control 60–100% of Port-au-Prince due to political unrest. Haiti recorded 2,490 kidnappings and 4,789 homicides in 2023, almost twice as many as the year before. The nation has become a key hub for the trafficking of cocaine and cannabis due to lax border security and lax enforcement.
2. Papua New Guinea - 80.7
With a Crime Index of 80.7, Papua New Guinea records high levels of both petty and violent crime. Swift social and economic shifts have intensified gang activity, especially among youth groups facing limited employment options. Widespread corruption, combined with the country’s strategic geographic position, has further enabled the growth of drug and human-trafficking networks.

3. Venezuela - 80.5
With a Crime Index of 80.5, Venezuela is at the top of the list. Travellers are cautioned not to enter the nation by a Level 4 advice issued by the US Department of State. State corruption, a weakened judiciary, and the deterioration of the Rule of Law are all linked to high crime rates. Armed robberies, kidnappings, and violent crime are still common

4. Afghanistan - 75.2
Afghanistan has been facing persistent challenges such as corruption, assassinations, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and money laundering. As per the record, the country supplied 85% of the world’s illicit opium in 2020. Despite the Taliban’s pledge to curb the industry, it remains tied closely to Afghanistan’s fragile economy. High unemployment is also one of the reasons for driving crimes like robbery and assault.

5. South Africa - 74.6
With high rates of assault, homicide, and sexual violence, South Africa is ranked fifth in the world. These numbers are a result of pervasive inequality, unemployment, and the normalisation of violence.

6. Honduras - 71.9
Honduras, with a Crime Index of 71.9, has long battled gang violence from various groups. The country also serves as a major transit route for drugs, whereas weak law enforcement systems have prompted travel advisory from the US State Department.

7. Trinidad and Tobago - 71.0
This Caribbean nation reports a Crime Index of 71.0. Gang influence, drug trafficking, bureaucratic hurdles, and economic pressures challenge crime-reduction efforts. Visitors commonly face risks such as pickpocketing, assault, and fraud. The country also has a Level 3 travel advisory.

8. Syria - 68.4
Syria’s long civil war has intensified organized crime, especially the production and trafficking of Captagon, a lucrative amphetamine. Human trafficking, arms smuggling, extortion, and counterfeit goods flow across its porous borders. Militia-controlled regions operate complex criminal networks.
9. Jamaica - 67.4
Jamaica ranked tenth in 2020 among countries with the highest crime rates. The nation continues to struggle with government corruption, gang violence, and elevated levels of violent crime, including sexual assault. According to the US Overseas Security Advisory Council, the Jamaican police force is understaffed and under-resourced. Travelers are strongly advised to avoid Spanish Town and certain areas of Kingston and Montego Bay.
10. Peru - 66.7
Peru is among the world’s largest cocaine producers. Organized crime thrives in coca-growing regions such as the VRAEM, where drug-trafficking groups operate heavily. Urban areas, including Lima, which recorded more than 700 homicides in 2022, also face violence linked to various gangs.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to avoid a ban for the start of Portugal's World Cup campaign despite his red card against the Republic of Ireland.

Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for Portugal in the loss to the Republic of Ireland in November; the Portugal captain has been given a three-match ban but two of those games are suspended for one year; Ronaldo will play at the start of Portugal's World Cup so long as he does not reoffend.
A FIFA disciplinary committee has imposed a three-match ban, but the final two games are suspended for one year provided there is no similar infringement during the probation period.
Ronaldo was shown a red card after appearing to swing an elbow at Ireland defender Dara O'Shea during a World Cup qualifier earlier this month. He has already served the one-match suspension, in Portugal's final qualifier against Armenia.

Should Ronaldo commit another offence of a similar nature, the two matches will be automatically activated for the next official matches for the Portugal national team, which are set to be the opening two World Cup group games.A FIFA statement said: "In line with article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the serving of the two remaining matches has been suspended under a one-year probation period.


"If Cristiano Ronaldo commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension set out in the disciplinary decision shall be deemed automatically revoked and the remaining two matches must be served immediately at the next official match(es) of the Portuguese representative team.
This is without prejudice to any additional sanctions imposed for the new infringement. The three-match suspension is subject to appeal to the FIFA Appeal Committee."

The decision comes days after Ronaldo attended a black tie dinner at the White House alongside US President Donald Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Under normal circumstances, Ronaldo should be suspended for Portugal's first two World Cup games, but there is nothing normal about the Portugal superstar.

Ronaldo's legion of fans will say it is only right that their hero is being treated differently from everyone else.

After all, his red card was the first time he had been sent off in 226 internationals. Others will say rules are rules. Serious foul play should mean a two-match ban and violent conduct means a three-match ban.

What is undeniable is that this unprecedented decision suits Ronaldo and FIFA.

barnny:
Why won't he dose when he already knows his client is going to be jailed for life imprisonment

You sure know the meaning of PROSECUTION?

simpleseyi:
Tinubu is wiser than the wisest human. The sentence is for negotiation. South East should provide 5 million votes for Tinubu in 2027, and on the swearing in day, Tinubu will announce amnesty for him. SIMPLE

Wiser than the wisest human and Nigeria is like this?
Amazement!!
One day you people will tell us how he's wiser than God!
Leave matter, politicking is not wisdom!!

It's everywhere, just depends on the individuals involved!

Where ever a goat and yam is being kept together no matter the settings or office, there will surely be an attempt.
Is it Banks, Hospitals, Schools, Hotel establishments, Universities, School teachers, sales girls, maids at home, drivers, PA's, even in the forces viz: Army, police, custom, e.t.c.
It all depends on the settings and levels of control, discipline, and tolerance.

Politicians as a whole are too hypocritical but Tinubu's own is on another level!
Man speaks with no touch of reality, since the time of Buhari, we have had those comfortable with just calling them President, after life's long hassle, their retirement dream is to be the president of Nigeria. GEJ was the last president that cared but he was booted out on the alter of lies and propaganda by Tinubu and his cohorts, now is their turn they became clueless!!
E no go better for this people!!

I just confirmed Reno Omokri is a political jobber with the post above

Kobojunkie:
Read the information presented below.

From the law you quoted, what "proven" assurances or agreements can she provide that will show the gift is unconditional?
Legal battles are not straightforward as you see written on paper.
A good lawyer will claim conditions of "as far we are dating", the gift is yours.
When it's not written down anywhere, he may not prove it, and she can't prove otherwise, so what happens?
Exercise in futility!
If she even cheated in the course of the relationship and if the guy proves it as a fact, another legal technicality will come in.

Kobojunkie:
Go back and re-read the comment you pretend you responded to. I didn't say you should not try to get your things back if that is what you want; however, you have no right to show up at a person's house uninvited to take it yourself. Yes, everyone has their ways, but there is only one proper way to do anything, and that is going the way that one is legally allowed to do so.

If that man had tried that nonsense here, and gal maybe shot at them to keep them from invading her space and stealing her property at that, the law would probably have been on her side.

2. If my sister had been dumb enough to do so, I would recommend that she go through legal means to get her TV back if possible. I would never advise her to invade anyone's home.

Which legal implications? when many guys deliberately buy those things in their name and reserve the receipt. What evidence have you that it rightly belongs to you? Even the car people have seen you driving everyday, if a legal case happens and you can't prove ownership, it will be taken away from you. Nigerian law is still at the level of providing strong evidences, words of mouth (except recorded and verified) or assumptions may not win you a case here!!
From the law you quoted, what "proven" assurances or agreements can she provide that will show the gift is unconditional

Is this actually necessary to tell the public?

Orinechi:
Is not the government that should have gone to court..It is the guy who lay claims to the ownership of the land who should have gone to court to obtain an order restraining FCDA officials from from revoking or doing anything with the land. Land all over Nigeria belongs to the government and you don't go to court to possess what rightfully belongs to you.

Understood what you said, but do this government actually keep rules that doesn't favour them?

mascot87:
Wike did not lose. Rule of law lost. Civilian lost against military. This shows that Military can do anything they like and nothing will happen. The Nigerian people lost. Democracy lost.
So tomorrow, military can do anything to Nigerians and nothing will happen.
They can bully anybody and it will be in vain.
Military authority won against Democratic Authority even in the face of military illegality.

Last last, na all of us go collect... If you celebrate this, then you are celebrating future pains that will be meted on you by the military because you cannot escape it

What is rule of law? Why not go to court serve him eviction notice or something?
So the right channel is coming to that land to confront the young soldier, order him out and demolish the place?? Height of impunity!!
When he reported to higher authorities, and they asked him to wait, what is then pushing him?? His disgrace

pocohantas:
There is also Annie Idibia who endured for years. I am not even sure Tuface had to beg her. Only to be kicked out at 40yrs. Una still blame Annie Idibia. So make una try rest with these stories aimed at gaslighting women to see infidelity as normal. If she was cool with him, she should have stuck to him. Some women have done it and heaven didn't fall.

Like Annie Idibia doesn't have her own issues? If you wanna sound like the Op then you have no business criticising him because both of you are in the same ship: brothers for brothers, sisters for sisters, no objectivity!

Both Men and women are deep partakers in the cheating game. If you chose to tolerate fine, if you chose to walk away fine; just know what's at stake; whether man or woman!

And your principal has every sense of dignity? With the way he insults everybody at will, removing a sitting governor with state of emergency, and, such won't happen to him if he was in Fubara's shoes.
Criticising every diverse opinion, and won't accept any form of criticism.
Karma is beginning to retaliate him because he had done similar worst things than the soldier when he was the governor!
