Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Jerome Valcke, Issa Hayatou were all found guilty of receiving money to influence decisions at the HIGHEST levels of football.
So nothing is impossible . A willing giver will always find a willing receiver.
drehdinho: The defense is not comprehensive and convincing enough. Where is temporary right of occupancy stated in the Land Use Act 1978 or did the legislature make that as adhoc law sometime in the past.
However, let's concede the above position is true, would it not be reasonable enough for Lere to go further by showing that Saravesa complied by paying the statutory fees?
The allegation is more than whether or not Wike is a land grabber.
Part of the questions is that Saravesa is owned by Wike. Why did Lere not show proof to debunk that too?
Nigerian politicians can only deceive the low IQ but not someone like us.
Saravesa na special purpose vehicle.
This one's will continue stealing until they die. They can never be satisfied
Annieme: Please I need directions on how to get to Surulere from Mile two. To be precise, Rita Lori event center in surulere. I don't go out much, I no won go loss for Lagos😁 Thank you in advance.
From Mile 2 enter bus going to Orile. From Orile you would see a bus to Ojuelegba via Bode Thomas, the loading point is after the Police station. Tell the driver that you are going to Rita Lori. The Hotel is on the main road.
Gerrard59: We have them on Nairaland where they are cock proud of their British and Canadian citizenship from birth BUT vehemently kick against other Nigerians doing the same. They mention the possession of these passports but would oppose another person who celebrates having attained naturalisation status. It is a terrible form of witchcraft as I see no reason why someone who has an American passport for him and his family would oppose another person who decides to relocate to the UK.
From your narration, one can clearly see that the black man has a fundamental problem in ensuring everyone gets a piece of the pie on merit. He would squander everything and leave peanuts for everyone else. It is not a white man's issue as one might or usually thinks - it is a black man's problem. Then, how do we expect these same people to develop their societies? The other day, a Nairalander described how a former Lagos governor visited hospitals in the UK for medical treatment and how two LGA chairmen moved their families to the same UK fully catered for in terms of houses and cars. Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, the same former governor criticised Nigerian youths for japa just as a senior official in Tinubu's administration did the same, yet his son studied at Eton College, went to Cambridge and currently lives in the UK. What about Obiano who could not construct pedestrian walkways anywhere in Anambra only to resort to jogging in a residential neighbourhood in the US a few weeks after office?
All Nigerian elites are the same. None differs from the other. Believe them at your detriment.
As I have stated:
You have said it all and thus is the pure and unadulterated truth.
The reason they are not happy is that...the more Nigerians that japa, the less they have to "look down " upon.
Nigerian elites hate to see other people enjoy what they are enjoying.
It is an inherited mindset from the way the society was structured since before the colonial era.
The good things ought to be for the ruling class. Equity and justice are alien concepts to the Nigerian ruling class.
They have a compulsion to have people they can look down on.
Arrowhead71: it is American that holding Israel from going after Iran full force, but , but am sure Iran will misbehave again and Ayatollah regime will end
Iran will calm down fully. With Syrian airspace now free for Israel to fly in at will, it has a good vantage point to do precise and real damage to Iran.
hoeminique: I thought Nairaland CNN analysts said the west were the ones that toppled Assad and embarrassed Putin?
Una never see anything yet
Assad is enjoying retirement in Moscow Putin has ushered wartime rulers in Syria that can match Israel
Israel's attacks since Sunday are panic attacks meant to slow down the eventuality of war.
Once these new guys settle, they will be re-equipped by Putin, Turkey, Saudi, Iran and any other interested state aimed at decimating Israel & the West's interest in the Middle East.
Israel as a sovereign country might not exist by this time next year.
Una never tire to dey boast. Hamas fought, Hezbollah fought yet they last woefully.
Israel knows it is shrouded be enemies and speaks to them in the only language they understand.
panafrican: Switzerland , France and Uncle Sam funded that Charles Taylor rebellion. As one UNHRC ( refugee agency) worker put it in 1990 " where did these peasants get the military tanks that cost more than $ 5 million US a piece"?
Hmmm. It's the way of the world. They'll do anything to protect their interests as they like to say.
jmoore: Spending 70 million naira to build a 2 story building 3 bedroom flats.
Put the rent at 350,000 naira per year for each flat in a location like Aba, it will take you more than 33 years to breakeven.
House for rent as an investment is what your children will enjoy, not you.
Use your spare money to build if you have excess cash.
If you have 80 million naira in your account as a young man, don't use it to build that story building. Reinvest it in your business that gave you that 80 million naira.
You can buy land, but don't build until you have at least times 3-4 of the building budget in your account.
I agree. The only building worth renting out are event centers if you do the maths.
panafrican: Not true. Too much of the propaganda from Firestone ( the rubber company that owns 25 % of Liberia 's land ) and the drug dealers /brain washed slaves from Trinidad and Tobago, The United States and UK, add to that the traitor in Nimba County Liberia where Prince Johnson is from.
If you say so. I know back then that is what we were told. And Charles Taylor was a hero to us.
I've learned not to trust the media anymore though.
UpTown001: When will they focus on assisting humanity. Only to share rice to party members. People are hungry you're building bridges and more roads. Why are African leaders so uncaring about focusing on helping the populace achieve a good and enjoyable lifestyle
Adebisi444: You dey cap, so CR7 no get speed, strength or dribble. So CR7 no dey use both feets. Goan rewatch videos of prime Delima Ronaldo and compare it to prime C.Ronaldo
There's no need arguing with gen z children.
No be highlights I watch. There is a reason he is named the Phenomenon. I watch Christiano from the very first match against Man U that made Ferguson sign him.
I was also fortunate to watch Delima right from PSV when he was younger.
The two of them are not in the same category in terms of pure natural ability.
Delima gave teams nightmares and struck fear into the hearts of defenders. Christians is playable even though he is good.
Bricklaying & tailoring are considered skilled jobs and you know that I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who wake up everyday doing nothing and still refuse to do whatever job is available, that's laziness, the only reason you won't call it out is because you are either one or you don't tell the truth. If you value hardwork, you will encourage everyone to take whatever is available while searching for the next step.
Menial jobs is for every able bodied man who has no job.
A menial job is a job that does not require much skill and is lacking in prestige...because even cutting of grass requires some skill.
Not everyone has the capacity to do physical hard labour. Live and let live.
And stop gaslighting Nigerians who are a very hardworking people.
If what, the OP said about the history of the project, then it's shameful that for almost 2 decades, it was all talk and no work. Nigerians need to change this stereotype of not following up on projects, or outright abandoning them.
You never know this people. Contract that they might have issued like 5 times over and spent the money
Freshtruth: I'm Still wondering how People even do their Comparison between Cristiano and Ronaldo 😅 A Once Upon a Time Midfielder, A Once Upon a Time Winger to an Old Age Striker, Comparing him to this guy and the Surprising thing about the people who put R9 over Cristiano will tell you that Ronaldo Nazário was a Phenomenal Striker. A Striker that could Dribble.
For Goodness sake he's a Brazilian😅😅😅 You buy a Striker to Score Goals and Win Matches and Trophies, Not to Dribbles. Then you'll come Asking why he never won a Champions League trophy in his entire Career😅
Cristiano Ronaldo became a Striker at the Age of 37 when he Left Juventus. And Just to put this in Context. Ronaldo has Scored More Goals than The Original guy since turning 30 Than the Original Guy's has Scored in his Entire Career😅😅
I am sure you did not watch the Phenomenon play.
Speed strength good with both feet, trade mark goals, tear open tight defense with high speed Dribbling and turns.
All players knew he was different and levels above them. And he was doing this with severe injuries in his knees and as a chubby guy later in his career.
There was none like him in his prime.
ALL the other great strikers and midfielders and coaches acknowledge him as the best they have ever seen. He was one of a kind.
One guy had to be taken back home in a wheel chair . He had stroke and we had to contribute money for his ticket.
The papers sef, the woman no file for am.
I know one bros that developed a permanent stammer due to a loss of personal dignity based on how the woman was treating him and beating him. Na VAWA help am last last to get his papers when police came one day when the neighbour's called.
Boys eyes don see. I dey very lucky compared to many others. Na just my principled nature and radical educational experience for OAU and my previous experiences with many women help me.
Them carry the hand come but I reject am quick quick. Women are not the sweet angels that many men think they are.
As i dey, if I was young again I would rather marry an Asian wey get good height, or a north African lady or Latina.
dkidd: African American women too wicked o. Especially those with plenty money. If U no submit to them there will never be peace. One almost turned me to vegetable before I remembered who I was.
Lol. Na that " remember who I was " na him dey save man ooo. If you dont remember who you were, dem go reduce you to nothing. Na for here I learn the word. " emasculation".
As I dey so ehn, I don see women finish. They are not those nice and tender angels that men think they are...women can be real vicious, heartless monsters when given unchecked power.
If I was not wild on the streets before I enter usa dem for cage me and turn me to vegetable.
When I start my own " were tutu" na them sue for peace na. I no go kuku follow you shout.
But unless you let them know early that you don't send and dont mind loosing everything you have and start all over again...they will ride you. You will have to dead your feelings and not react to their shenanigans to gain control...but it does take a toll on you as a person.
Most guys that I see are scarred for life.
One guy has not been able to join us for soccer after he married. Na the wife dey decide him weekend for am.
If you can't work for 5k a day, then you have lost the right to complain about the economy, you are just lazing around looking to either scam or steal. There's dignity in labor, any job is better than begging. How can 150k be too small for a man who has no other opportunity, when others who sit in offices get paid the same amount? You future and the future of the gullible people who believe you is what you are play with. Govt don't create jobs and there are no enough private sectors. How do you even pray to God to give you a better job when you see one as beneath you?
Life is like a ladder and you have failed to take the first
I just found this out, so it's new to me that people are crying that they are hungry but can't do certain jobs.
I don't even know how to answer you because it is just like I am wasting my time.
By God's grace people in my circle earn at least 120 million naira per annum and some people earn double that amount but still I will never call anyone lazy because I know better.
Menial jobs are not for everyone. And the thousands of bricklayers, bus conductors, go slow hawkers, road sweepers, and factory workers are definitely not lazy.
Stop guilt tripping and gaslighting young Nigerians who are forced to live a hard life because of an inept yoruba leadership.
Lagos to Ibadan express way took over 15 years to build. Papa to Oshodi express way took almost 5 years to construct.
ycat: I didn't get it. What are you trying to say?
My question is, why are we looking for foreigners to do weeding, security guard jobs and even fry Akara? There are no jobs, so why are these jobs looked down on?
Ok, it look me 5 times to understand what you wrote.
I think you meant which of these jobs am I doing? That has nothing to do with my question. You have to be a lazy person to ask that in response to my post.
How can anyone turn down a job and then say there's no job?
The reason is that there are thousands of yoruba men and women that do hundreds of different kinds of menial labour.
Look around you and stop calling people lazy. Why should an individual be doing a job that is not rewarding and the effort and frequency is not enough to take carebof his bills.
How many bush will a man clear to feed his family in a month.
The fact remains that the government of the west has failed the people. The responsibility of government is to create an enabling environment for business to flourish.
Connecting roads, bridges, hospitals ,power supply and others. When these things are lacking, business can not thrive and there will be unemoyment.
People are not lazy, there is a serious lack of viable opportunities.
Stop guilt tripping the youth that your elders have eaten their future and use it to Bleep nollywood actresses.
