Ola Aina is out for 3 months+

That injury be SA was a Hamstring one, and I knew it would be potentially very serious

Sad that he would miss the AFCON 🥹

20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals for Amy in her final WNBA game of the season...

Woop woop 🤩🤩🙌🏽

It looks like the only senior World Cup that Nigeria would be playing in, next year, will be the FIBA Women’s World Cup 🤷🏾

It pains me to say this, but I really don’t see any miracle that would even propel the SE to both the African and intercontinental playoffs; and it’s especially more painful when an own goal virtually killed off any remaining WC hopes.

Qatar hosts the largest US military base in the entire Middle East, as part of a "security guarantee."

But that very air base coordinated today's Israeli airstrike on a civilian location in the middle of Qatar's capital Doha, a city of 1.5 million people.

That is why nothing beats national sovereignty, and anyone who trusts the USA for any reason is a massive idiot. Stop hosting US military bases in your countries and work toward developing your own ringfenced solutions for food, healthcare, and defence.

If you keep relying on them, the Americans will inevitably stab you in the back like the scorpion in the story of the scorpion and the frog. It's just their nature.

The truth of the matter is that the SE should just concentrate on doing “an Egypt” by focusing on winning the AFCON, as the Egyptians did in 1998, 2006, and 2010 when they failed to qualify for the world cup in those years.

If SE can’t convincingly beat the likes of Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Benin, or Rwanda, then the team does not deserve to play at the World Cup. Simple!

We should just focus on winning the AFCON in December/January..

Chelsea v Barcelona, being on Matchday 5, means that it won’t be a dead-rubber game 😁

diggz:
Enzo Fernandez is by far the worst midfielder playing in any top club across all the leagues. There’s not a single attribute he possesses as a midfielder that makes him stand out amongst his peers. We’ve been completely scammed. We got rid of Jorginho just to buy a £100million midfielder who’s even worse than the said Jorginho in Enzo. As long as Maresca continues to play him in that midfield without another midfielder pairing Caicedo, we will continue to suffer. Nah…Enzo needs to go!

Exactly.
At this point, Enzo is better off playing as a forward

diggz:
The creativity upfront is lacking because there’s no midfield to support them. Literally everyone is trying to cover for the ghostworker, while he strolls on the pitch like a pregnant 10months old woman.

He simply cannot play that way against Barca or Bayern, otherwise, we would be cooked

andrewbaba44:
Chelsea vs Barcelona will be fixture of the group stage

Will be looking forward to that game

Me too

The Chelsea v Barcelona fixture has to be amongst the most-played UCL fixtures in this 21st century, as both teams will meet again for the 15th time.

One of my guys did 50miles in one day. He was competing with other people across the country

Wow! You guys has East African stamina sha. The most I can do, in a day, is like 12 miles lol

raumdeuter:
You wan run enter Tijuana? Brother big belle no dey kill, embrace for 1 pack

😂😂😂😂

Wetin you go talk when I ran 90.5 miles (145.6km) last month? Or when run reach 160 miles (257.4km) in October 2021? You go think say I waka reach Buenos Aires 😂😂

Ibime:
I didn't know that, maybe I will renew mine for the 10 year one.

Yes I’ll highly recommend going for the 10-yr passport, which is what I’m doing. I don’t want to be going through the hassle of renewing every 5 years

Ibime:
This thread made me laugh. The guy said he walks 2km per day and is worried the trekking will affect him in old age.

How Nigerians consider 2km trekking always makes me laugh. 4km trekking (10,000 steps) is the recommended daily steps and most people I know here cover that everyday and even up to 6km

https://www.nairaland.com/8507851/trek-alot-should-worried-old

Exactly. I can’t trade the benefits of daily cardio for anything. As of now, I’ve walked/jogged 74.8km this month. My goal is to hit 90km by the end of the month.

Ibime:
What's the difference between 32 page and 64 page? Does 64 page last 10 years cos this Naija passport wey dey only last 5 years me be am at all

Yes, the 64-page passport lasts 10 years, whilst the 32-page passport lasts for 5 years

Spy360:
When e reach to tax, they will be very efficient. But when e reach to review workers salary, na meeting upon meeting, agreement upon agreement, debate upon debate, two workers strike, and three called off warning strikes.

Don’t mind them

semid4lyfe:
The increase only applies to local applications, and I find that strange cos the exchange rate has been stable for a while.

The fact that the application fee is higher than the national minimum wage says a lot about how poor salaries and incomes are in the country.

No be na wa, na real wa.

I tell you, Naija must be the only ‘major’ country (in terms of population and size of economy) where the bolded is the reality 🤦🏽‍♂️

Moreover, the authorities do not care about any pesky exchange rate stability: they just want more money to buy mansions, spend on girlfriends/wives, and spend on vacations

Effective from September 1, the official cost of the 32-page passport will be N100,000, while that of the 64-page passport will cost N200,000

Which kain passport go cost pass minimum wage?🙆🏽‍♂️

AWONEYAN:
I thought FG has placed a ban on granting approval for university establishment.
Or they have forgotten again.


Are they going to employ only female lecturers too. And no male administrative staff including security

That ban only applies to proposed federal tertiary institutions

I’m happy that Air Peace are one of the big beneficiaries of Tinubu’s Brazil trip.

Fresh off announcing their Abuja - London Heathrow and Gatwick flights, they’ll also launch Lagos - Sao Paulo flights!

Moreover, they’ve also become the first Nigerian private airline to simultaneously own the most wide body jets (four B777)
