izzou: [color=royalblue]There is a very big difference between European football and African football.
Despite the fact say most of them dey Europe, e no change anything.
What a very uneventful, predictable 90 minutes [/color]
Both teams played rubbish for the most part.
A Ghanaian player would be marked by TWO Nigerian players, yet he would still attempt a shot on goal Very minimal football intelligence
The one the pisses me off the most is when Simon or Chukwueze are on the ball, instead of releasing a pass to the overlapping fullback (who most of time was unmarked), they preferred to dwell on the ball for far too long, allowing the Ghanaian defenders to smother the threat easily.
The cabal comprising some members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s extended family and friends are the powers behind the throne.
This group is said to have the ear of the President, influence policy-making and determine those who get major appointments.
Sources said the cabal members also warned the President against handing over to the vice president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinubu, national leader of the party.
“Buhari’s cabal members have asked Jonathan to prepare for the party’s ticket. They said they don’t want Tinubu or Osibanjo,” a presidential source told SaharaReporters.
At the moment, the top contenders for the presidency in the APC are the Tinubu, Osinbajo and Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State.
A former governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has also voiced his intention to join the presidential race.
Tinubu and Umahi have openly declared their intention to contest the coveted seat after their separate meetings with Buhari.
For Osinbajo, he has neither declared interest nor said a word on the matter, even though groups loyal to him have been clamouring for his candidacy.
Others who have presidential ambitions in the APC but have yet to declare include the Governor of Ekiti State and Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Dr Kayode Fayemi; Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi; and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
SaharaReporters further learnt that Jonathan had been under pressure to defect to the APC by the cabal.
The former President was said to have surprised the northern elite and the cabal by his disposition to the Buhari presidency despite all the dirt and campaign of calumny thrown at him and the PDP before the 2015 presidential election, which gave Buhari an unprecedented victory over an incumbent.
It was learnt that some cabal members had also been impressed that despite the Buhari government's glaring failure, Jonathan had not openly criticised his predecessor or his administration, much unlike ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo had written open letters condemning the Buhari government and also verbally berated it at any opportunity.
SaharaReporters learnt from sources that the establishment of 'Almajiri' schools by Jonathan to reduce a large number of out-of-school children in the North also scored the former president good points in the eyes of the northern cabal in the APC, especially with most of it now rotting away, even under a northerner as president.
I’ll rate the airfield as an 8.5/10. It looks organized, especially with the CAT 3 ILS.
However, I’m not comfortable with the terminal building. I feel Soludo could partner with the Chinese or Julius Berger to build a proper 5-10 million capacity terminal building equipped with no less than 8 avio bridges. The cost of constructing such a facility could be borne 80% by the contractor and 20% by ANSG, and it shouldn’t cost more than $35 million (even after accounting for inflation)
Spandau: The only thing I see this woman doing, if Nigerians get hypnotized enmass to install her as president, is to graduate the "Diezani" syndrome to higher scales while making Nigeria a kunnu producing and exporting country.
It’s your “ kunnu producing and exporting country” for me
The airline CEOs are now asking Biden to end the mask/testing requirements
“The CEOs of 10 airlines and cargo carriers have signed a letter to President Joe Biden saying he should end the transportation mask mandate and testing requirements for international travelers.
In a new letter, industry group Airlines for America wrote, "now is the time for the Administration to sunset federal transportation travel restrictions -- including the international predeparture testing requirement and the federal mask mandate -- that are no longer aligned with the realities of the current epidemiological environment."
The media professional said she intends to merge all specific projects to create a product that can be easily evaluated in 10 years.
She said, "The way we intend to go about it is to create a vision for what we want the country to look like. There are specific projects, but rather than having them as projects we need to combine them to create products, whereby in 10 years, we want to have this amount of industrialization in this area.
"So we are creating jobs, employment, health services, everywhere you have an industrial path, and powering them with the energy sector. By this, we are also creating an enabling environment for investors, and a safe place for skill acquisition and transfer of knowledge."
Women Inclusion
An Okunnu-Lamidi-led government will advocate for a 50% inclusion rare for women in politics and governance.
In her words, "as a woman, I cannot but champion these policies for us to have a 50% women inclusion rate.
She explained that this is what Nigeria needs if leaders must make good decisions. She also noted that women determine the wealth of the nation.
"It is definitely what we need if we are going to make good decisions. Women's inclusion ensures that policies are able to carry along as many women as possible. There's a woman in every household. If you do not enable these women, the poorer the women the poorer the nation," she said.
Education and Innovation
The 38-year-old, who hails from Lagos Island, noted that Nigeria is yet to meet world standards, and if elected, her government would bridge the knowledge and application gap between the nation and the rest of the world through technology.
"Our children here can learn the same things that their counterparts are learning across the world. This also helps us in the application of knowledge. What we do in Nigeria is to only teach, we do not actually teach to apply knowledge, or how to think in different scenarios and situations.
"We have put these two hand-in-hand (education and innovation) because where we are at the moment is so far behind that we have to use technology to meet the standards of the world."
Governance and Welfare
Mrs Okunnu-Lamidi said that the Nigerian government has missed its essence of governance by competing with local businesses.
"We think governance is business, that is why governments are competing with businesses, that is wrong government.
She further said her government, if elected, will ensure that the government agencies and parastatals will focus on their functions in order to elevate people living "beneath the dignity average of human existence."
Law and Security
"Without law, there is no order", Okunnu-Lamidi said. She explained that the state of security in the country can be controlled by law and justice.
"So we put law and security hand-in-hand so that the justice system can work very closely with the security system and we can solve our security issues through legal means."
The presidential aspirant, who is the daughter of former Federal Commissioner of Works and Housing, Lateef Femi Okunnu (SAN), officially declared her intention to run for the Office of the President of Nigeria in 2023 in January 2022
The founder and chief executive officer of Slice Media Solutions disclosed that she is motivated to vie for the presidency because of her desire to restore hope and make Nigeria work for all Nigerians.
DumaEmpire: But ripping the club off in the process ofcourse.
Money gotten from sale of tickets goes straight to the Premier League and FA purses. Not even to the Ukrainian people who claim to care about.
Omo the team has been performing outstandingly without the fans.... That's way better than this rip off
The performative nonsense from so-called “elite-educated” politicians is absolutely disgraceful! I can’t also fathom how preventing home fans from buying tickets helps Ukraine FFS!
