Ofunaofu:
The money wasn’t kept, it was preserved.

What was actually withheld is N20bn by the Tinubu government. Address that, or admit your bias.

He has 30B "preserved" in a commercial bank and still borrowing money massively at huge interest rates from commercial banks? Did he even acknowledge receiving 30 billion from federal government?

TimeManager:
NNPP beat APC by 400k at the last election, even with the division in APC camp in Kano at the time. Right now, with the combined forces of APC and Gov Yusuf, the election will be a walkover for APC at both federal and state level.

-Kiss the truth!

That result you quoted was presidential election where Kwankwaso himself was on the ballot. For the gubernatorial, it was very close.
With the combine forces now, it is a landslide for APC.

fineboynl:
It's inflation and not more money sir. During pdp hilux could be gotten for 15m. How much is hilux right now?

It's inflation. It doesn't translate to more money

Why were governors borrowing recklessly and yet still couldn't pay salaries then, unlike the situation now?

seunmsg:
Segun Oni contested on the platform of SDP. A party that barely existed in the state before the election. If he had contested on the platform of PDP as at that time, it would have been a different case.

He went to SDP for a purpose. In fact, if Fayemi had not softened his stance toward Tinubu ahead of the 2023 election, Oni’s SDP would have caused problems for him in producing a successor

So what will happen to fryo, his candidate in Osun?

TheSuperNerd:
Ismael Saibari, the Moroccan #11's goal was the 2000th goal in Afcon History.

Great. Seems JJ Okocha scored the 1,000th goal at the 2004 edition.

chrisooblog:
Yeah, I can see how Lookman telling Osimhen he had scored 2 goals added petrol to the fire, but again these are things that should have been sorted in the dressing room and not the field of play.

Good that everything is resolved now. Osimhen was not totally wrong though, they should have released the ball to him if he was in a better position to score.

This opportunity will usually get any player angry, but there was a better way to express his anger.

And FIFA said no government interference, same government still funding the sport.

charlesemeka85:
hmmmmmm, is Pisa not likely to be relegated by the end of the season?🤔

I pray they make it out of relegation. We also have Akinsanmiro there, and it is likely that the obligation to buy option will be activated.
It will be great to see our players playing in top tier.

Rafiu Durosinmi Sets to Join Serie A Club Pisa

That is expected. Lawmakers from his old party (LP) and from his zone, SE. How many are coming from APC? Maybe when the children of El-Rufai and David Mark finally join.

Sheuns:
We’ve had Obj, Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari before Tinubu. They all had children. Many Nigerians didn’t even know their children, but here is a man who became president and his entire family are always in our faces.

What do we call these people.

There is no law against political dynasty in Nigeria

Berankis:
So why the initial denial instead of coming out clean the first time? He waited until Fayose posted evidence before this late response/damage control.
Fayose don use Makinde shine already and it will affect his reputation.

More to come from Fayose. He Said he has documentary evidence and he is going to expose the Governor about the real IGR the state is generating which is different from the "fake" amount being declared by Makinde.
This is just the beginning from Wike's camp to keep Makinde busy, he ain't even talking about PDP again..

I hope FIFA will not punish Gabon FA for this government action.

femianski:
Actually, it was South Africa who defeated Morocco

Thanks for the correction. It was Morocco 1 vs DRC 1 rather at the group stage.

Starboytwo:
DRC is Powerhouse now ooo...

They even reached semi finals at the last AFCON, they defeated Morocco and Egypt, lost on penalties to South Africa in the 3rd place match.

ChrisKels:
Fawanews no gree work oo

It is working, try Ch2

lexyman:
i learnt Nwabali is injured , how reliable is Uzoho ... can someone confirm this news

It will be very painful if he is truly injured and still makes the final squad to AFCON. The coach at Chippa United raised the alarm about his fitness before the final list was released. I believe if he had been left out of the team, Okoye would have made the squad. Now we are left with Nzoho, a familiar and worrying option.

It is now clear to everyone how he made a profit of $1 million from a $1 million contract at the age of 29. I keep saying it that those he is fighting are 'tradpo' (traditional politicians), they know how to play the game, he can't win them

MetalJigsaw:
His last game with the Malian team is what almost played out this night.
It was last AFCON against Senegal where he squandered a 2-0 lead to 2-2 and went ahead to lose in penalties. That was when the picture of them pouring water on him surfaced.

Chelle loves conceding goals, I always say this. How can you be removing midfielders for wingers when you're not the one chasing the game.

That was against Ivory Coast, the host. His last game with Mali was not at AFCON. He was sacked after the Madagascar match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers when his team played a goalless draw

Must it always be Osayi and penalty calls? The same thing happened against Gabon, the referee waved it off even after a VAR review.
I shouted earlier when he went for hard tackle inside the box.

JohnBullMySon:
Lol. Google 'DRC 2007 moratarium on Dual Citizenship'. Even DRC current president is a Belgian citizen.

Meanwhile I've said it before that FIFA won't debate how DRC inteprets and enforces its law.

The 2007 moratorium was to suspend punishment for those who had dual citizenship, not to suspend the dual citizenship law.

lakefist:
Oriyomi will lose woefully. Radio or social media audience don't win elections.

It will be easy win for Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin os he is the annnointed one.

Of course, Oriyomi will not win, but he will take a bulk of the votes away from the PDP, that is the concern. Adelabu will easily win if Debo and Oriyomi are on the ballot.
Also, Oyo state electoral voting pattern usually benefits Ibadan candidates.

malali:
The government should auction it to civil servants, look for people who have worked for the civil service for at least 25 years.

Auction it to loyal civil servants who have shown dedication to public service. let them purchase on a payment plan. Subsidized.

Also, Emefiele's estate that we heard so much noise about has gone quiet all of a sudden ?

Go after more people and liquidate all ill-gotten wealth. If we stop glamorizing stolen wealth......public officers will stop stealing.

Interesting, but the problem is that honest civil servants rarely have billion naira, or how would they bid?

lakefist:
See how you boastfully analyse Oyo state politics blindly 😂😂😂

I can't stop laughing!

PDP cannot win outside Ibadan. If "oyo npe e" movement should produce Oriyomi as their candidate, it is over for PDP in guber race.

DeLaRue:
The Governor should reconsider his contesting for presidency.

South West people are not clamouring for a 2nd SW presidential candidate that will open the door for another Northern president so soon after Mr Buhari, especially by someone who is young enough to wait.

You have a Governor in the same party as you in neighbouring Osun, yet you did not support his re-election

This Governor doesn't command any support outside Oyo State.

Most people don't know you in Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, and Ogun. If you stop people on the streets of Lagos, or Akure, most of them won't be able to tell you who the Governor of Oyo State is. Even I don't always remember his name.

Yet he thinks it's his turn to contest, even if that means splitting the SW votes

Mr Tinubu was a factor in all 6 Southwestern states toiling and battling for nearly 2 decades before contesting for President.

He is overestimating himself. If not for King Ladoja (whom he later betrayed), he wouldn't have become governor in 2019. Ladoja collapsed the structures of five political parties for him before he could defeat Adelabu. In 2023, the APC faction supported him instead of their party candidate, Teslim Folarin, just because of the alliance he had with Tinubu. The land grabbing he embarked on in Ibadan has turned people against him. Let him contest, he can only win in Ibadan, not the entire Oyo State.
His close friend, also a member of PDP is working under Tinubu, Joseph Tegbe, who pushed him for the appointment?

Edu93:
Nigeria can't even host Nations Cup nowadays. They have to involve Benin or Togo

Co-hosting tournament is to promote regional unity and expand development, it is not about incapacity to host. Example is United States co-hosting World Cup with Mexico and Canada

Bossoflife25:
How old are you? All these small small boys sha! The same Nigeria hosted AFCON 2000, ALL AFRICAN GAMES AND UNDER 20 WORLD CUP. REST THIS CRAP ABEG. ORDINARY IVORY COAST HOSTED AFCON JUST 2 YEARS AGO.

Thank you. COJA 2003, hosted by Nigeria which was bigger than AFCON was highly rated and praised then for its modern infrastructure facilities. A new stadium (Abuja stadium) was built because of the tournament.

press9jatv:
FACTS ONLY

The Ademola Adeleke administration received revenue of nearly ₦1 trillion over a 36-month period. Of this amount, the government reported that ₦51.4 billion was allocated to the health sector: ₦15.3 billion in 2023, ₦18.5 billion in 2024, and ₦17.6 billion in 2025 (Q1–Q3).

Analysis shows that only ₦10.7 billion, representing 20.8%, was spent on capital projects, while the remaining 79.2% went to overheads and other recurrent expenditures. This spending pattern raises serious concerns about the administration’s commitment to long-term healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.

That is 28 billion naira every month, where did Adeleke get that?

GanagiBitrus:
I just dey imagine if na Uzoho or Nwabali dey this Comoros goal post.

Are you saying that Comoros goalkeeper is better than Nwabali?

Danielnino00:
Comoros so far look clueless on what to do with the ball .. they are committing fewer players in attack.....
Morocco will most likely win

Funny enough, Comoros know how to play Ghana, always giving them problems whenever they meet.

AMINDA:
Police? Are we in a police state? Malami is still yet to be charged to court, by the way. APC has only certified him guilty and convicted him on the pages of newspapers while holding him hostage.

Are you sure?

“In his ruling, Justice Hassan held, quoting Section 35 of the Constitution, that since there was a provision in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA, for detention, Malami was lawfully detained by the Remand Order of the court"
