No need for the 2nd leg 🤣🤣

Mbappe to Real Madrid

Here’s the Women’s OQT schedule..

I think it’s a misplaced priority for LASG to be thinking of setting up an airline at this time, considering the FOREX issues bedeviling Naija.

Whatever equity that LASG would want to invest in that venture would be better off channeled towards maintaining/improving public infrastructure, or even bonuses to its civil servants..

Booked

D’Tigress OQT rooster has finally been released!

NFF confirms Super Eagles have been paid $30,000 each for their qualification bonuses & 20 days daily allowance.

My hope is that the Super Falcons, Falconets, and Flamingoes would all appear at their respective global tournaments this year.

Remarkably, the last time that the SF, Falconets and Flamingoes played at the Olympics, U-20 WC, and U-17 WC, respectively, in the same year was back in 2008…

GeneralDae:

Hmm. See wetin host do 😄😂

Lool
They want an easy path to the knockouts 🤣

Oga why not buy economy class ticket and do giveaway for your loyal boys here with the change?

I go reach that level soon 🤣

My UK peeps, I don hear say Business class ticket for Virgin Atlantic Lagos-London flight dey cost N10.9 million!!

Bear in mind that only in January of last year, the same ticket no pass N4 million; and in 2011, the average cost was N700k

Inflation and devaluation don show Naira shege

🤣🤣🤣😂

Naija passport is now 2x the cost of the U.S. own..

PDPGuy is surely pulling our legs

ShopRite is pulling out of this country slowly, nobody has money for mall shopping. It's in Aba where you can buy Aba made version of anything that they will patronise shopping mall? I laugh in Ariaria

You gerrit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emaprince:
Mumu guy. Na stadium be him target? Smh.

So because Orji uzo Kalu used his massive sponsorship of enyimba FC in 2002/2003...2003/2004 that saw them win two CAF champions league on the trot to endear himself to football loving Abians before milking them dry...and the subsequent orjis continued where he stopped, Otti feels that what he needs to get people's love is building a stadium?

People will watch football on empty stomach?

Well, we don’t know the full details of the proposed stadium: whether it would have shopping spaces, as we see in some other countries. If it comes with shops, then I won’t criticize this project cos the governor would be further enabling commerce in the state.

BlueRayDick:
So there was a thread on FP earlier this week that has PDP claiming the newly sworn-in Kogi governor created an office for former governor

https://www.nairaland.com/7985343/office-immediate-past-governor-created#128193850

Then there was another thread about the governor reacting to the news and claiming the news as fake. The claim the rumour is the work of mischief makers

https://www.nairaland.com/7985821/reports-office-immediate-past-governor#128200846

But now a video of the governor has surfaced on the Internet in which he was advising the people of Kogi to obey an order from the former governor Yahaya Bello and ignore his own if there was ever a time both of them give contrasting orders

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2xjFjAoaaQ/?igsh=MTgxNTcxb2c0MzY5Mg==

How can such state experience real development/progress?🤦‍♂️

I honestly don’t know what to say again… Our politics surely have a long way to go. Smh

Word on the street is that Gov Otti of Abia is in advanced negotiations with a prominent Chinese construction company for the construction of a 35,000-seater stadium in Abia…

At lest we will stop hearing how FG refused to develop other ports and stop them from functioning

Why is Onne and other ports not functioning at capacity

I believe Onne and some of the other ports weren’t designed to handle high volume of cargo like the Lagos ports. They were primarily designed to export/import crude oil/petroleum

Guys, what do you think about the new Warri Seaport/free trade zone/airport project, being championed by Tinubu and private investors, that would cost a staggering $29 billion?

Na wa o na so Senegal waka comot with 9 points

This afcon is badt mhen

Same as Naija 2 years ago 😂

Give to the Ivorians! Their penalties were perfect!

bemeruca:


Why do you think it is like that?

I think it’s because Trump, being an ex-president, has a tremendous name recognition that has proven to be a major asset in this cycle.
On the other hand his opponents were, from the get-go, jockeying to either replace him (if he were convicted during the race), or positioning themselves as his potential running mate.

This year’s Republican presidential nomination contest is the quickest contested major party presidential race to narrow down to 2 candidates in this century…

Microsoft will reportedly lay off 1,900 employees in its XBox division…

THE General Manager of Nigeria Basketball National Teams, Musa Adamu, has assured Nigerians of the readiness of reigning African basketball champions, D’Tigress, to do well and make Nigerians proud at the FIBA Women’s Olympic qualifiers tournament, billed to hold February 8-11 in Belgium.

In a chat, Adamu acknowledged that there were palpable concerns by stakeholders and enthusiasts of Nigerian basketball, as the D’Tigress had not resumed camping ahead of the tournament.

He was quick to, however, explain that unlike football, where the governing body makes it mandatory for clubs to release invited players two weeks before the tournament, it is different with basketball.

“Football governing body makes it mandatory for clubs to release invited players two weeks before a championship. However, for FIBA organised tournaments, it is just seven days before the event starts,” he explained.

“That the girls are not in camp yet, doesn’t mean the team won’t be ready. The coach knows the team and the players she needs. Right now, most of the girls are busy playing with their different clubs and colleges,” he assured.

The amiable administrator earnestly hopes the federal government releases the needed funds to ensure the participation of the D’Tigress in the tournament.

When you say most who exactly do you mean?

Are you referring to the squad of the last afrobasket or is that old squad included? We need a roster so we can objectively analyse. The quality of league where the play also matters. Amy Okonkwo is doing very well in France putting up big numbers.

Oderah is also doing well but she's sadly retired. We however have a replacement though I do not think she'll get called up.

Kiki Iriafen who currently players on the Stanford women's basketball team is having one heck of a season. Watched most of her game this season and she's been a monster. She had a season high of 36 points in their last game and won ESPN national player of the weak yesterday and she's just a junior. That is one person I'll love to see soon in the Dtigress.

Not only is Kiki an excellent forward, she also got smarts to be majoring in Design Engineering at Stanford of all schools!

Hopefully, she’ll be part of the roster in Paris

Crazy stat: Chelsea have scored the same amount of goals in all competitions this season (51) as they did in 2022/23. They scored 51 goals in 50 matches last season, they have scored 51 in 28 this season. (@tomcoley49) #CFC

Obrigardo:

Criminal trump's senile dementia is getting worse

The only 3rd placed team that has been eliminated is Ghana…

Goke7:
This Afcon has got to be the best ever

I believe so too! The entertainment and drama has been off the charts!!

happney65:


You think if she loses NH today as expected she won't drop out of the race and endorse Trump?

So how will she end up being the nominee in November?

You’d be shocked by what would happen between the time of the RNC convention and the general election..

Nikki Haley will lose today, but she will be the Republican nominee by the time November comes
