Messi singlehandedly led Argentina to Copa America glory, the title that has eluded the South American nation since Diego maradona era about 30 years ago.

You deserved the award, Messi also deserved it, then people voted for Messi. How is that his problem?

One thing I notice about Africa is that, other African countries tend to take a cue from what is happening in Nigeria. During EndSARS, some other African countries youths also took to the streets to protest against their leaders.

The positive note I am trying to say about this is that, if Nigeria can get its sh*t together and start making right steps towards becoming a superpower, this is going to cause some paradigm shift in the whole continent.

My place is not dirty, it is not over loaded and it is all tiled

Do you have any kind of water that is stagnant within your room. Maybe it is a bowl used to keep water in that is dripping on the floor, or there is a tight corner in your room causing some kind of sweating surface?

How come that the Google Play Protect can't detect this

Buhari, the only reason people voted for him was his anti-corruption stance, but this guy seems to be worse than his predecessors on this corruption menace

You should be happy it is scorpion, what about those that are seeing snakes. I actually killed one snake in my living room same days ago. When you have too many lizards or wall geckos in your compound, this is likely to attract snakes hunting them. About the scorps, I think it has to do with your dirty room, also watch out for any wet surface in your room, scorpions like to be around water. Maybe there is a carpet on the floor which causes some wetness under it due to heat.

None of those things you mentioned are the problem Nigeria should be tackling, Mr president. Priorities are the key thing to any government policies becoming a success. If I were a Nigerian leader today, I would turn every young graduate of this country into a real estate developer and I will devote much of the national budget to funding that alone. We are a sh*thole country compared to the rest of the world's advanced economy, the average living conditions of Nigerians is hellish if compared to Europe or some parts of Asia. Despite Africa having a young population, their leaders have failed to realize the potentials of their youths.

According to the world renowned financial firm, McKinsey, the total wealths of the world have increased by threefold in the last two decades since year 2000, you know what, out of that total wealth, 70% is concentrated in the real estate with China taking one-third of that increment since the year mentioned. Do you know one thing that has given China the edge doing better than the rest of the world in moving most of its humongous population out of poverty: real estate?

Average Chinese young graduates are diverted into this sector as soon as they finished school, given the right skills to join the real estate firm of their choice. China is building more new homes on a yearly basis than the entire Europe, America, and some rest of Asia combined 5 times. According to some estimates, the total number of vacant buildings (which are new homes built that are yet to find occupants) in China is over 60 millions, enough to occupy a country like France. Imagine this is happening in a country of over 1.4 billion in population.

There should be an holistic approach in Nigeria towards this where the federal government starts its own construction company just like Chinese govt has. This company should be an humongous outlet to employ millions of young graduates (has someone ever told you that construction is the most labour-intensive industry in the world?) spearheaded by a foreign construction company until Nigeria can stand on its own in construction technology, and these graduates are paid a monthly salary just like the civil servants, but better paid off, of course.

This is the era of digital information where people easily learn knowledge about anything in this world notwithstanding where they are living, so why can't the federal government cultivate this initiative? It doesn't matter how much they spend on this, it will never be a waste of money because most Nigerians will end up having more beautiful homes to keep over their head just like in advanced countries and there are also private investors that will driven into this as well. Instead of leaving our real estate development in the hands of quacks and untrained professionals, the government can make this sector more attractive to young graduates.

Humans, we need to realize that there are devils as well as angels among us. It doesn't matter the age, religion, political view, sex, or race. People commit any kind of act based on the adrenaline push within them. This boy might have taught his age advantage as a teenager (seeing as a minor under the law) would have him skipped any charges for his crime. We need to be applying some laws based on the circumstance, this one is an example.

A woman makes her money, she enjoys it herself. But a man makes his money, he must get married or entangled with a girlfriend to enjoy it together. That is the story of today's world.

Gender equality, we accept. Women rights and education, we accept. Women first only and other privileges, we accept. But it must still be a man that will provide for all the woman's needs, what is wrong with this gender really? Men should wake up in this country, i know it is a thing of Nigerian men to want to rope in on anything concerning women, but never helped each other. The world is finally realizing the pitfall of making everything about women and giving them little in terms of responsibilities. Even in the Western world, oyinbo no dey take sh*t from their women anymore. I am not saying that a man that is not financially buoyant should be thinking of marriage, but this also applies to a woman too. But it seems Nigerian women want all the rights in this world to themselves without emphasizing the roles they should play in a society.

Wake up, real men of this world

Keep blaming Yahoo boys for your inferiority complex and everything that goes wrong in your life, you can't find a wife and you still blame Yahoo, if your prospective wife can't see you better than a Yahoo boy, don't you be happy that it stays that way that both of you never got married. This is why most married couples in Nigeria today are just using the tag of wife and husband, they engage in extramarital affairs with someone else. Politicians that are turning all the young girls into prostitutes by becoming their sugar daddies, you don't see anything wrong in that one. They are responsible for the hardship in your life which is making you feel inferior to a Yahoo boy, now they turn around and chase after every young girl in the town using the proceeds from their loots. But still, you think Yahoo boys are the cause of problems in your life.

Starzo:
Even more than southy?

I tell you, even though the southy gets their curvy level too, but Tanzanian are more natural and sexy

These people are not interested in anything Nigerian except its Treasury. Na so the Mama don born American citizen

Tanzania, that is where you will see the most curvaceous ladies in Africa

You gotta wonder that this guy was once a leading voice in the EndSARS campaign, Nigerians are just not human beings. Money can change anything about them.

Just like Festus keyamo, just like Femi adeshina, this sagalink guy too was only doing social activism to eye political appointment.

This is crazy �, this thing is not easy o, many people will collapse right from the top of that building. I really look forward to trying one of these some day

I will rather go with the one that is beautiful in the heart

Abeg what is this Fulani's man Buhari stance on all these corruptions that are reported going on under his watch. This is a man that came to power solely on the basis of his strong antigraft policies that were lauded so much, but look at him today, shinning and grinding inside the same corruption

These nurtw people are a menace on the common people in this country

The same Sowore whose brother was killed in cold blood recently and police couldn't do a thing to uncover the killers.

What is the benefit of all this charade to a common man? Look at that Nigerian man genuflecting before Ramaphosa, typical of a black man

Peace walk to which destination exactly Implement a severe punishment for the perpetrators of the massacre and dismiss them in service. Which one be the governor saying again?

A dose of idiocy spitting out from the anus of a possibly penaldo fan is expected

A black man will never rise if he fails to expunge the hate inside of him. We have been down so long and allowed few people to nourish and preen themselves with opulence on our common wealths because any efforts to liberate from the shackles and yokes of repressive regime always attract saboteurs from within.

Leading oppressed people on a good cause is like a fastest road to hell in this continent and country especially. Where is Sunday Igboho today, can someone ask his betrayers what they have been able to achieve so far?

And the cycle of misery continues.

This Sit-At-Home thing would have been more effective if enforced during recently concluded Anambra governorship elections, but seeing the heavy presence of security made IPOB to lift the lockdown.

More info about the company?

Which one be this northern elders and southern elders thing, you will never hear this in a developed country. Age is not the right yardstick to measure how intelligent someone is, in fact it is counterproductive to compare old age with wisdom. Good governance and making policies for a country is different from family matters, so why is it that African old men think they deserve respect that they have not earned

BigBashiru:
They aren't colonizing they are helping...and if Chinese colonization means working rails bridges etc paid for by African governments then it's worth it!

Chinese loan is better than world bank loan or British loan

I have tried to explain this multiple times but many people seem to not understand what colonization means, they will rather listen to the rabble talks in the Western media. Chinese are a friend with benefits to Africa, but if Africa refused to take this opportunity and started its own industrialization just like China did, then the whole thing could go from friendship turning colonialism for the continent, because who wants to associate with backwardness just like most African leaders are?

The real GOAT. Someone should check pendo blood pressure as we speak.

Phut:
Do you know you just exhibited a case of being mind fed? The most valuable part of your body, is your brain. Do not put it on permanent vacation. Use it, as they use their - most often to their advantage and your disadvantage. Nothing in life is free. Yes, stop begging and be aware of those that come bearing Greek gifts.

In other word think and reject their nonsense gift. Not everything that comes packaged as a gift, is a gift

Chinese have enough reasons to be good to Africans, they have already been colonizing the continent. So a billion COVID-19 jabs as a gift will go a long way in keeping China-Africa relationship stronger than ever. And don't forget that this is coming on the back of new strain of the virus (omicron) discovered on the continent, so Africa needs more COVID-19 assistance than ever.

Don't think because you know little, someone that you quoted doesn't know anything.

Africa being spoonfed from time immemorial.

Good gesture from the Chinese leader though.
