This Oshoala always looks dull. How I wish 22 can take that position.
To be honest she is not 100 percent fit, but she is easily the most technical player on that pitch...

The moment I saw B.A.T waltzing anyhow with France (Macron), I knew the relationship Nigeria had with Francophone west Africa, was quickly going to get sour.

If B.A.T was normal what happened in Niger should have called for extensive diplomatic discussions within the entire ECOWAS region for progression, because it is clear they are struggling for freedom.

A show of force will only strengthen their resolve.

It took me almost 1 month to fully recover.

Foreign AffairsRe: Nigeria Commences Sanctions Against Niger, Cuts Off Electricity Supply by optimusprime2(m): 4:49pm On Aug 02, 2023
SeriouslySense:
There is a simulation about Nigeria failing in three years also.
You are absolutely right sir!

Nigeria is not far away from imploding with the current issues on ground.

This is almost exactly what happened in Niger... in fact currently, the people of Niger are very happy to be under military rule.
Foreign AffairsRe: Nigeria Commences Sanctions Against Niger, Cuts Off Electricity Supply by optimusprime2(m): 4:45pm On Aug 02, 2023
Acekidc4:
Good Move in the Right Direction. Load them with more Sanctions so they can feel the Heat.
That's not how it works sir...

If Niger starts feeling the heat from global sanctions, guess where the refugees start pouring in en'masse?

At the moment Nigeria is financially struggling and any further pressure on the economy will make Nigeria tilt towards Niger's direction.

Take note, 4 countries within that region are also under military rule and they will collaborate closely if Nigeria gets aggressive.

Not to forget the proxy war that Russia and the west will potentially commence in Nigeria's backyard- Unlike Ukraine that is located under the EU's nose, there will be no hesitation to use far more destructive weapons in this African fracas.

Guy no be so o... this situation needs to be de-escalated very diplomatically.
Car TalkRe: Electrical Vs Mechanical Faults: Which Is Worse? by optimusprime2(m): 4:12pm On Aug 02, 2023
It depends...
If you are driving any foreign vehicle model beyond 2016, electrical faults can get very complicated, while mechanical faults are very easy to diagnose.

If the model is lower than 2000, Electrical faults become very simple to solve while mechanical faults are very difficult to diagnose.

The people of Niger are even jubilant about the military take over because their former government was a massive failure...

ECOWAS should just leave it like that, acknowledge it is indeed the end of an era and rather focus on working with the new government for better results within the region.

I am telling you my own definition
Garfield, Garfield...

According to the definition of various Dictionaries,
non politicians are individuals who are not members of any political party, they have neutral political views, connections, Affiliations as well as interests... they are simply not politicians.

Let's call a spade "a spade"
That list is mostly filled with politicians all affiliated to APC period.

Please go through these profiles properly and count the "non politicians" yourself.

trutharena:
Nice lost.

It’s full of technocrats and new faces that we haven’t heard before.

I am so glad El-Rufai and Wike made the list. Agreement is Agreement.

—Prof. Ali Pate is a huge catch.
—Olawale Edun I Stan you
—Imman Suleman-Ibrahim: The NAPTIP woman
—Mohammed Idris: Blueprint newspaper founder
—Lateef Fagbemi: Agba Lawyer


Notable mention
Uju Kennedy Ohaneye made the list too. That’s the woman that stepped down for Tinubu during the APC primaries.
There are some unknown individuals, true.
The unknowns may be the technocrats, true.

However, after a thorough check, 70% of the names on that list are politicians (ex governors, senators, APC political faithfuls et al), what will be the technical impact of a politician occupying a technical role in these times when experts are needed in critical roles??


To make matters worse, the portfolios were not even assigned, meaning the appointments can be based on a "situational selection to role" condition.

Once again we will be witnessing some more square pegs in round holes. Business as usual.

Although French is not an easy language when learning it for professional application, he may end up with blue collar jobs in Quebec, but that is his best bet. However his children will be the main beneficiaries of such a move.

Sirchiboy:
..
Why bro.
I am in my thirties.
Can't it work
I am not saying it can't work, infact it will work very easily if you really put your mind into it.

However, certain questions now become very important such as;

-1 Which country? (Is language going to be a challenge)

-2 Are you ready to deal with the difficulty associated with relearning and readapting to humble beginnings or possibly hitting the restart button?

-3 Reintegration into a different society

-4 How long will it take for residency paperwork to become consolidated

As someone in his twenties the above questions would land differently due to a lesser gravitational pull on them, however in your thirties those same questions tend to land heavier.
PoliticsRe: Senate To Announce President Tinubu's Ministerial List On Wednesday by optimusprime2(m): 1:18pm On Jul 25, 2023
Obaofaba:
Good!!!

We've been having ministers from the time past, but with Asiwaju what we'll be having is super ministers or simply put, prime Ministers.

The numbers of technocrats will surely outnumber the politicians.

The politicians will also not be assigned the technical portfolios.

Asiwaju's government just got started!!!
Even though that's not how it works in APC, I will putting your theory to the test.
