I had so much hope in this para Table Tennis teams.

Actually, I was hoping for gold medals from them. But the bronze are manageable.

Congrats.

And the old fool will travel home in December to go and Buga.

Gally Gally Hotel, Lagos branch.

Congratulations to the kingdom of darkness.

Your daughter has delivered another destiny again. Job done. Mission fulfilled.

Next victim loading.........

Gov. El- Rufai please go and inform the president because he can never be aware of the boy's threat.

Thank you sir.

Oborodudu and Adekunroye confirmed their statuses as Nigeria' s biggest medal hopefuls.

They did not disappoint


Congrats.

Congrats!
Where is that guy keeping record of medals table of Oduduwa, Biafra & Arewa Republics? Oya add this one to Biafra.

And Oborodudu to you is Biafra?

I am not surprised. Educated illiterates claimed ogenyi onazi for a long time saying he is Igbo.

Blessing Oborodudu has just won another GOLD for Nigeria in wrestling.

4th in her career from the commonwealth.

Kudos and congrats!

3 time commonwealth champion.

Kudos and congrats!

Losing weight rapidly? Run an HIV test

Hunger dey wire person you say make hin go run HIV test. Una no go kill person for this Nairaland.

The new format these days is to mention depression. I didn't know they have added weight loss.

Faceless fellow threatening depression on a faceless forum.

If they have the papers, the buyers own the property. It's now up to this man to go to court

He mentioned power of attorney.

Not everything you can sell because you have the papers. There are things you will sell even with the papers not In your name that you will end up being Kyari' s roommate immediately.

I am surprised or rather should not be surprised that most people are already castigating, insulting and assaulting women and the woman even without knowing what really transpired.

But, I am more surprised people are believing the idiot asking " what should I do'? assuming the thing actually happened.

If you are reading this, kindly bring all your load and relocate to my house.

Person pikin Mumu una say make hin no die. No be the mumuness go kill am?.

Why lament na me marry am for him
The buyer should be arrested,how on earth will you buy this house for 20million.abi na land he buy.standard one bedroom house for naija now na above 20millions.
Na him u come buy a whole duplex 10m

If the documentation is okay, there is nothing like arrest the buyer. There is what is called CONSIDERATION in law.
The N10m is consideration.

robinso01:
But they should also consider the fact that things are not easy now. I didn't say anyone found guilty should not be fined, but should not be as much as that.

We are on the same page.
But, if one fails to use their discretion and commit an avoidable offence knowing that things are not easy certainly, they will not repeat same.

Even Rufai who can possibly afford the penalty will not commit again.

If the penalty is N5000 or N10k, there could be the temptation to re- commit.

Deterrence is my point.

Condolence General of the Federation

Celebrating 38 flats! We are doomed in this country. Even @Spider888 can achieve these feat in a short time.

With that huge revenue from Lagos and acute shortage of housing there not even remembering those living in slums, the state should be doing at least 1000 flats per anum.

Laatstly, can one with a salary of 150k afford to live there?

With the meagre resources available to your state Governor, he should be able to build pigeon holes. Please show us the pigeon holes he has built or remain silent forever.

Tunubu house boy

Your own father will be willing, eager, ready to be an houseboy to the same Tinubu houseboy.

266 doctors is a small number, compared to the number of doctors in Nigeria.

The total number of Nigerian doctors in the uk as at 7 month ago was 9,189, that is small when compared to india, Pakistan or polish doctors working in the uk

Oga Chris Ngige.

Are the ones in Nigeria sufficient?

Do we have the international standard doctor to patient ratio?

How many British or Foreign doctors do we have in Nigeria now? If any?

Is it until they are more than the Indians in a particular foreign country before we know there is a problem?

Is is too much to ask of you to use your brain well early morning?

Good Morning.

robinso01:
Make we no lie. 70k too much for a traffic fine,dem no even consider him say na buhari era we dey.

At least if you pay it once knowing that it is too much, you will not repeat the offence. That is what they call deterrent.

Oga Sam, if you have the opportunity hide your head ooo.

Anybody wey die for Naija na die throway oo.

Na wetin you think say dey carry Buhari go obodo oyinbo go treat ordinary malaria? Na becos hin no say if dem chuk am death injection, na die throway him die o.

Sunofgod:
Is that all we can do?

Lift weights!

Who are the "we''?

What can you do?

aylive02:

OBI will ban this show come 2023 when we vote him in.

But if Buhari thru Lai Mohammed has done the same you and your ilks will still be weeping by now.

Hypocrisy in conjunction with double standard.

Good Morning.

Suddenly, it is all quiet on the eastern front. No street heckles or flag waving or mooning over a yellow sun, no hooting or baying in public. The rabble no longer raves. Few wonder what happened to the Nnamdi Kanu crowd. Some may wonder if they are withering?

The answer is before our eyes. The Biafran babblers are alive and well. They just swapped icons, rechristened the shrines and rewrote the rites. They left the prophet for a secular priest. They have had a switch of battle gear.

Maybe it is not quiet. We can hear and feel the cacophony. The chants and caterwauling are everywhere, especially on the phones. The twitter bees, the Instagram grimes, the Facebook freaks. They are alive and well, but they have not been at war at the side of their icon, who is griping in detention.

It’s farewell Kanu. Welcome Obi, at least until the new priest peters out. They are at his worship. They embrace it because it does not, for the first time in years, feel like they are outside the mainstream. They are not falling foul of the law, not howling from the fringes. They have Peter Obi as their man. He is mainstream. He belongs, not to the MASSOB, or Kanu’s assembly called IPOB. They can say they have a legitimate tribe and rhetoric. They may pretend to love Nigeria. They may claim to embrace INEC, cling to a political party no one in the police or DSS will harangue.

But that is where it stops. They have transferred the temperament of their former master into the new. And they have not spared any incoherence, any lack of finesse, and threats and tantrums, any show of rabid, primitive cants, or any ululations. They have abused, cursed, thrown imprecations. They have hugged lies about their candidate. They have pelted lies about others. They have distorted material.

Obi has turned out to be an excuse for even closet Biafrans to betray open emotions about Biafra without being accused of it. This includes intellectuals who did not show mercy to him while he reigned in Anambra as a pharisaic chief executive. It is like wearing a colour beneath another colour. Obi has become a shelter for both miscreants and activists of the crowd.

Obi knows this. He is happy to be their catharsis, to be their excuse for unfurling their bile at the system, for acting like revolutionaries. He is playing to it by acting as though he is the saint of Nigerian politics. Perhaps the purists of the Biafran cause are unhappy, and they unleashed a past video clip of Kanu on the social media. In it, Kanu lashes out at Obi as governor and stated what this essayist wrote about him over building a NEXT supermarket while still the governor of Anambra State. The video clip referred to him as a sort of sexual being on the fringe. You can imagine an Aso Rock sweltering with romps of the evil flesh. His so-called Obidients know this. But it counts for little.

They also know that this is the same Obi, whose emissaries were intercepted, while a governor at Apapa, by then police chief Marvel Akpoyibo with over 200 million cash. The matter became a cause celebre with impeachment dangling until the timid state house of assembly was on the take. This is the man they call stingy because he dared to spend on himself and his family, his wife being accused of spending N1.5 billion on tours. The man that admitted he placed Anambra money in his family account, and was not ashamed to confess when confronted. He did not follow due process. This is the man who is speaking from both sides of his mouth for maintaining an offshore account while a governor. This is Obi, who claimed he saved money, while pensioners were looking desperately at their graves.

I can excuse those who think that being stingy is good for the economy because they are looking at how they run their family and personal finances. But no economy works in history by saving money. It stifles the economy. He has not been able to tell us how he will do it, and whether he has done it. We have no landmark in Anambra State to attribute to him, no enduring legacy.

But this essayist can understand why Obi knows that the crowd that adores him will not question him. He is therefore using religion as a bait. He is now on a weekly pilgrimage to churches. Jonathan did the same. The pastors, ever opportunistic, see him as a darling. He is visiting a sectional hue of pews. This is the man who divided the church in Anambra State in his time between Catholics and the others. He is trying to push himself as the Christian candidate of the south while his messengers foul the air with sanctimonious growl about Muslim-Muslim ticket. I am sure Kanu will chuckle in his cocoon, especially when he contemplates what he alleges as his sinful romps in hotels.

There is a divide here. He is pushing himself as a southern candidate. His core followers are advancing him as the Igbo candidate. But how do we reconcile the Biafran with an Obi, who even MASSOB, has denied has anything to do with them? Obi is taking a Machiavellian attitude to the matter. If Biafran impulse will propel him, he will take it. The Biafrans on board believe Obi is their best revenge on the Nigerian state. They can take over the zoo by acting as members of the zoo.

But this psychology is nothing new. The private man and public man may not always cohere. In their huts, they are Biafrans. On the frontlines of battle, they are Obi. It is like Mr. Mani in A.B. Yehoshua’s novel who calls himself a Jew but does not believe in Jehovah. He embraces the culture but renounces its mystery. One of 20th century’s top philosophers, Hannah Arendt, obsesses over this schizophrenia in his opus, The Origins of Totalitarianism. The Obi followers accept Biafra but reject Nigeria. They abandon the mystic of the cause, Nnamdi Kanu, and have followed Obi, its inauthentic saint. It is the pragmatism of the cause. Kanu is the unarmed prophet, sulking behind bars. Obi is out in the open, a bird in hand. Machiavelli warned against the unarmed prophet, who fights without power. Elijah was armed against his foes. So was Jesus until he was crucified. They see Obi as armed with electoral quest. It is their own version of the Trojan War. Obi is the Greek Gift that they will ride in the battle for conquest.

They have now evangelised others from outside the southeast to give a regional legitimacy to their cause. They call themselves Obidients but they obey only one call: the sound of the east. Those in south-south have been seduced as by the cooing of Obi’s voice as by evangelism of the Biafrans. Mind you, they have not abandoned Kanu. But their icon has no power for now. Obi is like Zik, Kanu like Ojukwu. One is a flair, the other a flare.

While Obi hops from church to church and beclouds the hypocrisy among political pastors, the nation watches as his sectional army taunts and harangues others. But Obi will do nothing to restrain his rabble because he knows they are doing a good job in keeping the faithful within their own bubble where they reinforce their own self-delusions. That will last until their last call at the polls. This is not the time to properly interrogate in details the false intimations of Obi’s agenda and hypocrisies. But it is safe to say one thing. Before he peters out and hurtles towards an electoral Obi, the country knows the content of the crowd and its origin. They are a caterwauling group trying to seduce, without much success, those outside its ethno-religious tent

Given the opportunity again, Sanusi will manage the situation better and save himself from being dethroned.

The lesson there is that never joke with someone who has any form of power or authority over you.

Na before before God dey catch the powerful who mis use their power.

Most private universities are glorified secondary school.They are just degree holders with nothing upstairs.

You are still consoling yourself with this accient line of thought. You better wake up. The train has left you behind tey tey.

Private Unis are glorified secondary schools?
Their students have nothing upstairs?

Just a tip for you. 5 of the top 10 candidates in 2021 JAMB applied to Private Unis. 4 of them to a particular one.
When your glorified Unis of old glory resume from ASUU now, be rest assured that some of them will run a semester for 4 weeks. And of course students that have wasted 7 months of their life will sort their way and graduate.

I am not here to preach.

Shey northerners no dey play any sport ni? School dem no wan go, sport mba, ....na religion dem carry for head like sour kunu.....

If Nigeria should integrate, the north go worse pass Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan

The Northern political class/ elite know this and that is why they are bent on using glue and gum to patch patch the country together by fire by force

Aside becoming the nations you mentioned, they dare not live there if the country breaks. The ISWAPs and Bokos will declare an islamic nation and all of them.will move south ward because Abuja will be un- liveable for them.

Rikze:
Good

It seems our strength in this Common Wealth Games is in powerlifting...


So we have people who can lift like this and they left the country in the hands of those who cannot carry it.

Kudos to the record breaker!

I want to assume was you meant to say is that our strength is in weightlifting.

There is a difference between weightlifting and powerlifting.

Just saying.......

crazygod:
No matter who wins, this two teams have shown that they are a class above the rest. Perhaps only Spurs and arsenal will give a push.

No doubt about what you said.

Any of the other big teams that makes an attempt will be frustrated by the mid table teams like Everton, Leicester, West Ham. etc while these two will flog this mid table teams like thief wey thief akara for market.

The gulf in class is obvious to the blind.

I usually hear of goalkeepers coach.

I never knew that strikers coach existed.

Klopp hired a throw- in coach when he came to Liverpool.

There are coaches for different aspects of football.

All hail the worst CBN Governor Nigeria ever had.

Three gbosas for you pending when the Dollar - Naira rate becomes 1: 1000 in a few weeks time.

Mumu man.

Comparison people will start now

No need for comparison if one had been to CDG before. You board a light train within the airport if you have a flight to connect.

The gap between that airport and the best we have here is as wide as that between darkness and light.

Only a fool will compare Alagbado with Alabama.

Nobody is fighting for anybody in this country. Everyone is fighting for his or her interest. ASUU will always be a problem irrespective of who is president or which party is in office.

There are only two solutions to the ASUU problem:
1. FG should completely stop funding university education. Parents should be made to pay what is commensurate for the university education they want for their kids.

2. Government should scrap National ASUU completely. Each university should have an independent union to address local issues peculiar only to the university. Even if it’s going to take prolong strike and mass sacking to achieve this, it is worth the trouble.

There is no easy solution to the ASUU problem. FG need to make a tough, painful and firm decision on the union. Pandering to the union every time by signing crazy agreements that can’t be implemented has never worked and will never worked. It’s better to disrupt the system once and for all.

For point number 1, if FG should scrap funding completely for University education, believe me, the children of the poor will never be able to afford it
Conservatively, 500- 600k will be the starting point especially for first generation Universities.

For point number 2, the government does not have the power to scrap ASUU. It is only military regimes that can try it and even though they tried you it, no success was recorded.
