Shouldn't every country have a right to host the world cup

Or should it be exclusively for some countries
I think every country should have the right to host it. But they still have to work within the established football calendar.

So, that’s why I wasn’t entirely sure why FIFA went ahead to move the WC to Nov/Dec when Qatar had already demonstrated that they could construct air-conditioned stadia with retractable roofs. I know the energy consumption of such stadia would have been enormous, but Qatar, as one of the top 4 richest countries in the world, wouldn’t have had a problem with powering such stadia for a 30-day tournament.

I feel that the fear of missing the WC due to the injury is that reason why some supposed top players are putting in average shifts these days.

I mean, which what has happen to RJ, Kante, and Jota, every player from now till early November would not want to take unnecessary risks on the pitch. This, in turn, will make some leagues (especially the PL) unpredictable as to who would end up winning or finishing in the UEFA places.

In the end, we will have to blame FIFA’s EXCO masterclass in awarding the WC hosting rights to a country whose average summer temperatures are between 110-120F angry

Politics › Buhari: Nigeria Air To Take Flight By December by PDPGuy(op): 6:44pm On Oct 18, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that the establishment of a National Carrier for Nigeria is at 91 per cent completion, and is expected to commence flight operations before the end of this year.

The president gave the assurance at the 3rd Ministerial Performance Review Retreat on Monday in Abuja.

According to him, the feat is being boosted with the certification of Lagos and Abuja International Airports by the International Civil Aviation Organisation, while Kano and Port Harcourt Airports are undergoing similar certification processes.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Nigeria Air gulps N14.6billion, under five per cent government’s equity share.

Although I don't support Tinubu, I'll give him credit for one thing: he never cross carpeted to another party even when PDP's hurricane blew out the then AD in the SW in 2003. I can bet that most politicians in his shoes, as of then, would have been tempted to defect to the PDP, but he stood his ground.

Atiku isn't taken seriously when he only spends a significant amount of time in Nigeria during presidential election campaigns, and has moved from the PDP to the AC, back to PDP, then PDP to APC, and now back to PDP (albeit since 2018) cheesy

That Folorunsho is too shaky for a CB, she's giving Ekong vibes. She's always booting the ball for throw-in under little pressure even when the keeper's unmarked.
Not too surprised cos, after all, she is a teenager who is still learning the ropes of the game. But I expect the keeper to tell her to pass the ball when the keeper knows it is safe to do so.

I like the fact that the Flamingoes went for a short-passing game today. I believe this change from the long-ball strategy vs Germany, enabled the team to create more scoring chances and kept the New Zealanders chasing shadows for most of the match.

We will need more of the same on Monday vs Chile.

Politics › MRO Aircraft Maintenance Centre To Generate $185m ― ICRC by PDPGuy(op): 2:14am On Oct 13, 2022
Following the issuance of a Full Business Case (FBC) Compliance Certificate by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) to the Federal Ministry of Aviation, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the establishment of Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) centre.

The MRO centre which is going to be the first in West and Central Africa will be a one-stop-shop for the overhaul, routine maintenance and service of aircrafts.

Established as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with Messrs AJW Consortium as the concessionaire and using the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) PPP model, the centre is approved for a concession period of 30 years and is expected to generate about $185 million within the period.

This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by Manji Yarling, Ag. Head, Media and Publicity who added that the MRO is part of the key elements in the aviation sector roadmap of the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Roadmap in Aviation was an outcome of a careful appraisal of the challenges, risks and opportunities of the air transport sector in Nigeria after due consultation with key stakeholders.

It is aimed at addressing the challenges of the sector, filling the identified gaps and creating the needed environment for active private sector participation in the development of the nation’s aviation sector.

The establishment of a private sector-driven Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Centre is critical for the diversification and repositioning of the Aviation Industry as it will provide a platform for aircraft repairs, overhaul and maintenance.

The MRO Centre will address the demand for aircraft maintenance in Nigeria, West and Central Africa, as currently, the regions do not have an international standard MRO and therefore urgently require one to ease business, facilitate growth and contribute to their Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Travel › Re: MTN To Takeover ₦202 Billion Enugu-Onitsha Road Construction by PDPGuy(op): 1:56am On Oct 13, 2022
Henix:
That Enugu-Onitsha express road has been a death trap for some many years. It's quite unfortunate that PDP couldn't reward South East with that road during their administration.

Senator Ekweremadu, the famous UK organ harvester, also couldn't use his position as DSP to press the PDP government to do the road for his people.

All the federal roads in South East are in deplorable condition. Onitsha-Owerri is currently a nightmare to commuters, especially whenever it rains

Travel › MTN To Takeover ₦202 Billion Enugu-Onitsha Road Construction by PDPGuy(op): 1:14am On Oct 13, 2022
The federal executive council (FEC) has approved the takeover of the construction work on the Enugu-Onitsha expressway by MTN Nigeria at about N202.8 billion, under the road infrastructure tax credit (RITC) scheme.

Babatunde Fashola, minister of works and housing, said this on Wednesday while speaking with journalists after the council’s meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the approval was in line with the executive order 7 signed by Buhari in January 2019.

“In 2019, January 25, specifically, you might recall that President Buhari approved executive order 7, which was the road infrastructure tax credit scheme, to allow the private sector to invest tax liabilities in advance in infrastructure, [b]and that policy has helped us to finance roads like or by Obajana to Kaba, Apapa-Oshodi, Oshoki-Ojota Expressway, the Bodo-Bonni expressway in Port Harcourt, about a 1000 kilometres covering 21 roads under the NNPC investment. So, there is increased optic for that policy. So, today we have two more,” he said.
He said the telecoms giant will complete the dualisation of the 110-kilometre road.[/b]

The RITC scheme grants income tax credit to companies and individuals that provide funding for the refurbishment and rehabilitation of roads.

The scheme is a public-private partnership (PPP) intervention that enables the Nigerian government to leverage private sector capital and efficiency for the construction, repair, and maintenance of critical road infrastructure in key economic areas in Nigeria.

Participants will be entitled to utilise the total cost (project cost), incurred in the construction or refurbishment of an eligible road as a tax credit against their future Companies Income Tax (CIT) liability, until full cost recovery is achieved.

In August 2021, MTN announced plans to reconstruct the Enugu-Onitsha expressway, under the RITC.

A year later, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) said it issued a N37.28 billion tax credit certificate to Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited for the construction of the Bonny-Bodo road in Rivers state.

One should try not to joke with lost of life - i hope others learn from his situation.

PDPGuy, will the court garnish his pay or sell his businesses to pay the families for the defamation lawsuits?
That’s possible.

But considering the size of the jury award, Alex Jones will most likely appeal for a remittitur (reduction in the award) pleading that the award is unconscionable a.k.a “shocks the conscience”. His other ground would be that the award far outstrips the value of his assets.

The amount of damages would most likely be reduced on appeal
