Thank God both France & big Disgrace Portugal are out.
Is already a win for us Barca fan.


May God bless us

God does not bless people that wish others bad.

Try get sense.

CharlesCNG:
That is a different question entirely, but I'll answer it because it explains my position.

No, Nigeria's economic difficulties did not begin in 2023. They are the product of many years of structural problems: an unsustainable fuel subsidy regime, multiple exchange rates, low government revenue, heavy borrowing, weak productivity, and decades of postponing difficult decisions.

Do I acknowledge that Nigerians are hurting today? Absolutely. The pain is real and should never be trivialised.

But I also believe there is a difference between the pain of a disease and the pain of its treatment.

I will not blame the doctor simply because the medicine stings, especially when the patient had already spent years in the ICU before the treatment began.

For me, the relevant question is not, "Is there pain?" There is.

The real question is, "Are there signs that the treatment is moving the patient in the right direction?"

I see subsidy reform, exchange-rate reform, improved public revenue, increased state revenues, stronger investor interest, expanding domestic refining capacity, infrastructure investment, and an economy that has returned to positive growth despite enormous headwinds. Those are signs of progress, even if they have not yet translated into widespread relief for every Nigerian.

Could the government communicate better? Yes.

Should it do more to cushion the hardship? Absolutely.

But unless someone presents a more credible and coherent alternative—one that explains exactly how they would fund subsidies, stabilise the naira, grow revenues, and reduce inflation without returning to the policies that created many of these distortions—I would rather support the continuation and improvement of Tinubu's reform agenda than abandon reforms halfway through.

That is my position. It is based on what I believe offers Nigeria the better long-term path, not on the assumption that everything is already perfect.

Perhaps you're the one who should dey get sense.

Democracy does not require that we all agree.

It requires that we all have the freedom to disagree without concluding that everyone who holds a different opinion has lost their senses — or, to add the standard Obidient broken-record response, has been paid.

If your only explanation for disagreement is “he is senseless” or “he is paid,” then the problem is not democracy.

The problem is your inability to tolerate opposing views.

Just a simple question, u r writing history.

U guys will learn.

CharlesCNG:
You are mixing emotion with political arithmetic.

First, the argument is not that the North cannot vote Atiku at all. The point is that many northern political actors understand zoning better than online activists. In 2019, most serious southern politicians did not disturb the field because it was widely seen as the North’s turn. That was why the PDP race became largely a northern affair.

By that same logic, in 2027, many northerners may prefer to wait for 2031 rather than disrupt the South’s slot after only one term. The only person desperate to collapse that logic is Atiku.

Second, if the North is to support a southern candidate, they already showed their preference in 2023. Tinubu won significant northern support across key states, while Obi’s strength was largely concentrated in his own base and urban social-media excitement.

Third, calling Tinubu “Yoruba president” is just lazy abuse. Every president has a base. Buhari had his northern base. Jonathan had South-South sympathy. Obi had South-East emotional backing. Having a base does not make one sectional.

Finally, if your confidence is that the North will “definitely” vote Atiku if they don’t vote Obi, then you have already admitted the problem: Obi is not the main northern calculation. The real contest is structure, elite alignment, regional interest and political timing — not hashtags.

Have your life been better since the past 3 years of this Govt.

Make una dey get sense.

Too many kids on this forum.

Seun shld do something about this

chopnaira:
Yes. I am free to support whoever I like. That's why it is called a democracy.
Something that is difficult for members of a cult group like obidients to understand.

U deserve and E-slap

I'm

Angelfrost:
Leave them to hate... Love all you want.

Neither love nor hate determines the outcome of any match.

You can't police the feelings of people...!

South Africa don match line... They deserve whatever comes here on now.

If they win again, una go calm down.

Anyway I don talk my own.

Rayjay45:
See as Canada dey shake for back.

Showing too much respect to a wack team.

Na South Korea cause all this nonsense sha

U guys should watch the match and stop hating.

If S/A is a wack team, why is your so called country not there. Make una dey get sense.

ElevationD:
That should easily be Donald Trump.
The President of the USA. The whole world looks up to the USA. If they cough, the world shakes.

The name of Donald Trump troubles Iran and the evil axis and their supporters.
The name of Trump troubles Venezuelans and Cubans. The name troubles drug pushers in South America.
For those who do not have valid papers in America, the name of Donald Trump elicits fear.
For those who want to go to the USA, the fear of failure at the embassy because of Trump, is in their hearts.
Macron has no peace because of Trump.
Europe is in a mess because of Trump.
Just one threat and Nigeria sent emissaries to America.
Call him any name you want, he’s the most popular name worldwide.


After him is Messi.
Easy to pronounce. The greatest football talent alive, acknowledged by the biggest footballers worldwide. Scored a hat trick on opening day, with ease. Ronaldo was making his team pass to him by all means so that he could score. At the end, na draw. Man pass man. He is very popular too anyway, but Messi pass am.

Your hate for Ronaldo makes u look stupid.

No I'm

Fiscus105:
The guys are not good enough on the pitch, is simple as ABC. Meanwhile, during qualifications, south Africa using cunning-cunning to win the group, apart from Nigeria, every other opponent in our group, played their home matches in South Africa stadium, including our neighbor Benin republic, you can go and do the findings to confirm, "how can Benin republic who is our neighbor carried their home match to far away south Africa to play against South Africa in same qualification group".

In other words, when they wanted to play away matches with Benin or Lesotho, it was as if they were playing home matches.

Keep crying and don't face your future.

Omoawoke:
Imagine Ghana at the World Cup with their terrible ranking

Nigeria not making it to the World Cup is total embarrassment

We had a very easy group

Zimbabwe , Benin , Rwanda Lesotho South Africa and we couldn’t top the group

So bad

Leave the past and move on.

prinsam30:
Abeg make Una stop all this nonsense why is Ur team is not playing the world cup, am I complaining to u

A simple question was asked.

prinsam30:
Seriously speaking, Nigeria for don scored dem like 3 now Senegal is not serious going forward always relaxing thereby killing the momentum

If your team is so good, why r they not here.

Sonofgod1990:
Las Las we tell you people to go to court after the election. Tinubu will complete his 8 years in peace. The man is trying his best.

Have u taken your medications today

No

Usmanovic95:
As Nigeria fail to qualify,we should naturally watch every match as neutral, it's shocking seeing how some people are hoping and praying to see s.africans lose even before kicking a ball. S. Africa getting maximum points could actually give some people migraine, sincerely that's no longer a banter.

They are childish and don't have sense.

I

geoworldedu:
I tire o. How football wan take sweet without banters? I spent 6 straight hours watching Arsenal-related banters when they lost the UCL the last time. E sweet me die.

Bantering has to be with sense and not stupidity.

Banhammy717:
So, who's coming inn?

Dont ask stupid questions.

Nwaregina:
I think this protest is political motivated,you people where protesting the captivity of the school children and their teachers,how does that transcend to Tinubu must go,I think alot of people fell to understand that kidnapping is a state affair and the governor is the chief security officer of the state and he has his security vote intact,what is the state government doing about it why are we quick to shift blame.we as a youth should be very mindful of this manipulation of by this political actor using some so call agitators.because history has shown that many of this agitator are more of a political actors.

Sir u r not feeling well. Go take ur medications.

43Ronin:
Oponu go dey tear person slap. NFF suppose chop better scakimg this SA team no reach to qualify for WC, otu wey no sabi play football
Xenophobes - 0
Mexico - 5

stop talking like a child

AAA593:
The major reason this South Africa secondary school boys qualify for world cup na because them play 6 matches for South Africa. Home and away. NFF Bleep up. Dem no protest. Forget say Nigeria no start well. South Africa for no win plenty matches away from home. Big cheating

Medicine after death, u guys should learn to prepare well.

gentlekeny:
Ronaldo is still on that pitch because of his selfish personal glory.

I wish one akpuruka Naija player will give him one strong hard tackle that will end his chances of playing in the World cup

Dem need to ban some ppl here.

WhiteIverson:
Imagine the dude saying if our stars were playing a FRIENDLY MATCH then Portugal no go shine

So what will Morocco now brag about?
A team that knocked Portugal out in the quarterfinals of the world cup

Let them keep hyping nonsense while teams wey no reach Naija keep qualifying for the world cup

It is not everything/comments u respond to.
Some ppl don't have sense.

WhiteIverson:
What you should stop doing is hyping nonsense

You said with our stars, Portugal no go see light. Then why are the stars not at the world cup?

I don't know about you but I consider it a shame that a SE team with such quality are not at the world cup. I consider it a shame that other teams are using us to warmup for the world cup.

The Osimhen and Lookman you mentioned, do you think they'll be at the top of their game by the 2030 world cup ?
That's if Nigeria even qualifies for that one.

Nigerians too like dey brag about nothing

Dont u know a lot of kids are on nairaland.

ravensckar:
I hope everything is alright at home?

Dude, reserve your "seriousness" for your family meetings.

#Picks_tooth

U will learn the hard way

ravensckar:
Initial gra gra.

Even a village idiót knows how it's going to end.

Arsenal will sit back and try to absorb pressure whilst deceiving themselves that they will counter attack. PSG will rain fire & brimstone on them.

Eventually, Arsenal will cave and PSG will win. Then, their fans will go on blaming Arteta, referee, VAR & Chelsea fans for their woes.

No be today yansh dey back. For me to bet my dîck, I was 100% sure of Arsenal losing this match.

#Picks_tooth

U r a blind bat, and have no sense.

kimjessey2019:
You sure say u be red devil fan so

He is a Man u United Fan, we are blinded by sentiments.

Arsenal is good to go, nothing is stopping them.

udeh3:
At least, vote for him due to tribe. He's from the Yoruba speaking tribe. Emi lo Kan!

Don't forget, who drafted and crafted the Lagos State Modern Blueprint

Yoruba have to complete 8yrs, ejo!

U r a complete waste.

Sonofgod1990:
Any person that says Man City will lose dis match will die this evening

I think I have warned you before here not to be foolish in life.

wiseone28:
True, but this PSG will carry it for real

It's a 50/50 chance bro.

Starz825:
Na you no hear English well

Like I said...they will have to be unlucky to lose to Arsenal

They are better than Arsenal...so e go take bad luck for them to lose to Arsenal

U will not learn now.

Starz825:
PSG go finish you for final

They are the best team in Europe...yeah ..they don't mess around.


They are chasing Zidane's RM records .


PSG has to be unlucky to lose to Arsenal in the finals.

U guys don't reason well again because of hate.

Finals can go either way, learn this now.
