Even chukwueze is on $500 a week salary and he's contract ends in 2023 yet they slammed a $65 mill price tag on him..

Bro go through what you just wrote. Does it sound logical to you. That a player they’ve slammed a $65 million price tag on. Would be earning a paltry $500 a week? You sef reason am na see if e correspond

I saw him pose with a Ferrari sometime ago. If he’s earning a paltry €500 per week. How is he able to afford such luxurious car?

Dalil8:
He's right. I'd rather be a player that collects €200k per week and valued at €2.5m than paid €10K per week and valued at €90m

Not even €5000? But €500 for a big club like Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine? You sure??

Sysdatek:
5000

Or 500

Talk true €500 kwaa? For Villarreal? I don’t believe let me see proof Biko!

Moneywirer:

Democracy Day celebration is a global phenomenon. Apart from the International Day of Democracy celebrated around the world on 15 September each year to espouse the principles and values of democracy, every country that claims to be democratic equally has a special day for such celebration. Nonetheless, how the celebration is done varies from country to country depending on their understanding and interpretation of the theory and praxis of democracy
Democracy Day is a day set aside to celebrate the values that make democracy the most appealing form of government such as rule of law, freedom of expression, respect for human rights, respect for minority rights, constitutionalism and the principle of holding periodic election. It is the conscious effort to deepen democracy by reviewing the degree an incumbent democratic government has approximated those values in nature and character.

Evidentially speaking, there are ample evidence in extant literature that suggests the higher the degree to which a country approximates those values, the higher the democratic dividends enjoyed by her citizens. There is also a connection between those values with human capital development and progress in all facets of human endeavour.

Conversely, the lower the degree to which a country approximates those values, the higher the degree to which it is embedded in crises of nation building. Our country, Nigeria is the leading example in this regard. The Boko Haram insurgency, the Niger Delta crisis, the herdsmen-farm crisis, banditry in the Northwest, kidnapping across the country and so on are all consequences of bad governance.

In the past 21 years, it would seem like we have been dancing to the famous reggae rthym: " one step forward, two steps backward" in the name of democracy because our democratic practices are not congruent with democratic ethos and values. Our brand of democracy is a basket case. It's disheartening that those one would have expected to deepen the democratic culture in the polity are the ones leading the pact in frustrating every effort in that direction.

Who would have imagined that our democratically elected governors are the ones opposed to financial autonomy for the judiciary and the legislative arms of government? Such opposition is antithetical to the separation of power principles, an integral part democratic governance. In fact, without these two arms of government functioning independently in all ramifications at all levels of governance, any claim to democracy is a ruse.

From my observation, since 1999 to date, every democracy day speech by either our presidents or governors have been lustreless due to the fact that none has ever encapsulated the essence of celebrating democracy as a form of government. What they normally emphasize is the transition from military to civilian rule; the consequential progress in national development enhanced by such transition and the symbolic value accorded to MKO Abiola within the context of June 12, 1993 Presidential election. No attempt is usually made to gauge the extent to which democratic values have been entrenched in the country. These are the pristine values many people laboured, struggled and sacrificed their lives for after the annulment of June 12, 1993 general election by the military junta.

Democracy Day provides us the opportunity to reflect on these values and how the government at the national and subnational levels have been able to create a conducive environment for citizens to participate in the political process of decision making unencumbered. It is about individual liberty, group/ individual rights, respect for court judgement, freedom of the press, the sacrosanctity of the ballot and equitable distribution of wealth in the society. These are what we should be celebrating on democracy day and not routine government obligation to her citizens like provision of infrastructure and other socioeconomic activities that an undemocratic government could also provide effortlessly.

A typical case of the more you look, the less you see lol

Ain’t no violence here if you live in the suburbs bro! Those cases are isolated case. Just like you have the lady in North who had her friend gang raped by 6 men. Also the case of the girl who got raped and killed in the church in Benin.

I can’t understand why Nigerians in Nigeria won’t focus on holding their own leaders accountable and demand equity, fairness and justice. Yet they are so obsessed with America. Like America gives a hoot about what’s happening in Nigeria. Talk about Hypocrisy at its height. Let’s face it, Nigerians for the most part are hypocrites.

Village Coon, a 3 month old baby that was brought to America by his or her parents crossing the Mexican border should be punished for the sin of her parent. Wow, I hope most Nigerians are not like you because if they are, there's no hope for Nigeria. So callous and vacuous of a human you are. I doubt if you have blood running through your veins.

If you’ll let me borrow the word of a Nairalander, I admire. And, I quote “ The lord is no author of confusion. A wicked people, is given a wicked leader. That’s why Nigeria is messed up. A nation of callously wicked people.

Hahaha! I believe you. I know say you full ground scatter like Aki & Paw Paw

Why Dan Foster

I’m beyond words! Today is a sad day. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Seems martial art isn’t very popular in Nigeria. Maybe, due to the hardship in Nigeria. Folks are focused on basic needs that enhances their livelihood than be bothered about martial art. Just my observation though. I might be wrong

Wing Chun fighting system consists of 3 open hands form, 2 weapons form and the wooden dummy! I would be elaborate more on the different form in due course.
