Agbalowomeri:
Your point is not related to the argument on ground. The poster highlighted that Nigeria did not go to world cup whereas a budget line was inserted in the budget for world cup. As at March/April this year, Nigeria was still in court for world cup qualification so it is not a good argument.

Agbalowomeri:
You posted something means you believe it
When the budget was passed, Nigeria was still in the world cup conversations. That is why I fault your post

Namaster:
He led a PEACEFUL protest in US.
ICE KIDNAPPED him.
They IMPRISONED him for over 100 days.
His MISSED the birth of his child while in prison.

He's suing Rubio, Miller, Noem, Blanche and some others.

Posting a news item does not necessarily mean the OP believes or does not believe the story.
It basically means that the OP deems the topic or subject as thought-provoking, for people to discuss. share opinions and perspectives.

In any case, if your answer is to make any sense, then we should have had the World Cup preparation expenses under the budget of the Sports Ministry/NFA.
But this is called ''Special Presidential Support Group for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers''. Which qualifiers would require as much as N6.44b as at December 2025?
Why is it coming from the Presidency, and not Sports Ministry/NFA? And what is Special Support Group?

November 16, 2025: Nigeria played its last WC qualifier against DRC and lost.
December 19,2025: President forwarded the 2026 National Appropriation Bill (Budget) to National Assembly
March 31, 2026: National Assembly approved the 2026 Budget
April 17, 2026: President signed the Budget

From November 16 to December 19, 2025 is more than one month before the president sent the Appropriation Bill the National Assembly for consideration!

So @Agba:,
Do you still want to defend or rationalize this obvious lapse? (I don't want to call it gross incompetence or corruption for now, even though it clearly indicates as such)

Why are you asking me questions that should be answered by the people who drafted the budget?
Did you see any comment by me? I only posted what is already in the news, and you are directing questions at me?
Has the govt been able to answer questions on how a so-called ''fake agency'' got approved budget allocation, expenditure and office allocation at the federal secretariat?
Better ask the govt to be more meticulous and transparent than be always edgy, apprehensive and defensive when news on scandals and allegations break!

Mercy oya come and defend ya handiwork. Even ZICHIS has chased mercy away. We need another Mercy. We had one who ran to Canada 10 years ago

England-Argentina thriller a few hours hence will be a naked shooting war.
No, not the Falkland Island War of 1982.
That is past, gone and, hopefully, forgotten.
This night is a David and Goliath event, where Jude Victor William Bellingham of England is David while Lionel Andres "Leo" Messi of Argentina shall be the Goliath.

We all know how how the Biblical encounter ended, so why give the David anointing to England ?

Argentina has won the World Cup 3 times, and now gunning for the fourth.
England has won it only once in ancient 1966.
If human judgement should become Divine Justice, England should prevail over both Argentina and Spain to touch the Cup once more.

As for Africa, maybe a discussion for another day.

What people don't understand is that if we keep quiet here will be quiet and no activity go dey here oooooo

Jaakay:
Pls how does this relate to stocks?

Namaster:
You appear to have MISSED the memo.

You can post WHATEVER you want on the thread now.

And to be frank, getting in on the action is MORE fun than any FUTILE attempt to restore sanity on the thread.

Currently, it has evolved into an EVERYTHING thread.
In the future, it MAY revert back into a stock-exclusive thread.

But for now, sit back and ENJOY.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jaakay:
You seem to be part of the problem. Ordinarily, the post should not be an issues, but if the room had been read, xonsidering what we are struggling with, tgat post would not have been made.

Seems AGBA don get contract to dey defend certain POLITICIANS?

Agbalowomeri:
I am not defending
Just being objective

The thing don tire me honestly 😞

I logged in, saw about 4-5 pages and just hurriedly went to check NGX, thinking OANDO Q1 is out.....because that's one of the controversial stocks here.......only to see that there's no result yet except that of NSLTECH, then I started reading and discovered most are off topics 🥹😏

Can all Nsempas concerned pls sheath your swords and those adamant on derailing the thread to move to appropriate sections for your political discussions. Na beg we dey beg you. 🙏

I wonder how adults are this difficult to be persuaded to! 😱

Agbalowomeri:
E be you no read my last comments. As at March/April, Nigeria was still in court and hoping to make the world cup. Which one don't you understand there? I also stated that the fact that you budget does not mean you would disburse. Your argument would hold water if you can show/prove that money was disbursed for an activity not done

You have not answered my questions too :
Nigeria was in court to do what, by what, for wha? Is this the first time Nigeria would qualify or not qualify for the world cup?
Why was it captured under the Presidency and not under Sport Ministry/NFA budget? What is Special Support Group? Who are the members ? Is it another fake group!

If you want to defend them, then stay on one lane. You cannot say it was right for them to include such controversial, unverified, vague allocation in the budget, and at the same time say there is no issue because it has not been released/spent.. That N6 4b allocation has potentially denied other competing needs or sectors the benefit of being catered for in the 2026 budget.

In the Bible, David, the underdog, destroyed Goliath, the favourite.
