RTSC:
They are two different issues.

Hosting a competition will not stop government from doing their work.
If we don't host, it won't suddenly make government to start working.

At least 4 million dollar is coming in, stadia would be upgraded.

It is a victory nonetheless.

Brother, we have done this before, it didn't change anything.. Why? We are politically confused.. We need to fjx that first..

Okoroawusa:
No country is an Eldorado but that doesn't mean that Nigeria can't host a FIFA event if it wants to.

I never said we can't. I mean this is not a priority. We know no country has it all, but some are better than others.. Nigeria currently is wack and that tells why even our leaders don't believe in a country they govern.

MiddleDimension:
and we are saying those pressing issues can be dealt with ny hosting the Olympic Games! the roads, rail, airports will be for YOU! don't you need these things? also, power will be worked on!

No, we have hosted before many times, how did it make us have stable power?

U guys don't understand that Nigeria is confused politically and needs serious political change..

RTSC:
FIFA is financing it to the tune of $4milion. The money is coming to the Nigerian economy.
The NFF would not spend much aside organization.

We already hosted U-17 world cup.
It is events like this that forces you to upgrade your sporting infrastructure.

In fact, we should be looking to host the next AFCON.

lol, my brother, i dont want to argue, i dont have time. We can host as we like, more Nigerians will keep running out of the country to get a better life..

After hosting all the previous competition, did it reduce the number of our hot brains leaving the country for a better living condition? No, if we are serious, we need to focus on resolving our main issues first before all these.

After hosting under 17 world, did it make us have stable electricity? No, did it even increase our generating capacity? No. Did it make us have good water supply system? No. Our water irrigation system cant even compete with that of ordinary Egypt. We have a long way to go bro.

Okoroawusa:
And u think other countries that hosted FIFA events don't have societal n economic issues right?

This is how we keep decievcing our selves.. Guys, what im saying is that we need to fix our issues. No be that hosting dey do us.

Nigeria is ranked among the countries to be unfortunate to be born. I am not saying we cant host, what im saying is that we have pressing issues to take care of first. Nigeria can be thrown into war with all these drums here and there.

We need to fix our foundations pls. This is one of the useless projects we can embark on. Ina country where none of the elites have their kids school in the country, no proper research centre, science is almost dead, and we dey talk of hosting event.

baba, any serious country must first attend to her citizen needs before talking about hosting. All those countries wey don host these events are miles ahead of us. i mean u can easily check out their electricity generating capacity first to begin with. U can also check out water system first.

mvem:
the country will obviously double up security measures if that becomes reality... Do you think Brazil that hosted Olympics and world cup is safer than Nigeria... Brazil wey crime rate,murder, kidnapping etc is one of the highest in the world

Abeg na, guys, hosting competition of this nature shouldnt be our priority na.

Haba, ordinary water issue, we have not resolved a country, electricity is stupidly poor, imagine, 4k MW as a country of over 150 million, how about terrible roads across the entire country? Our markets are so poorly constructed, we can go on, pls, any reasonable person should never support this, we need to fix these things first at least up to 60 percent before bidding for such competitions.

We are still battling with minimum wage, political instability, ethnic tension, poor political structure, etc. Nigerians, pls the biggest stuff we need if we are serious youth is to pressure our leaders to work on the constitution, change the political structure. Our education is completely dead as we speak. It is zero now. Health is dead, in fact, that sector needs emergence.

The way hot brains are leaving the country is alarming, doctors migrating with rapid speed. Bro, abeg, i dont consider anyone supporting such competition to be hosted here reasonable. we already have poorly structured and trained police system. The wahala too much.

obailala:
$12billion, $16billion, $25billion, what does it matter?

Nigeria was generating close to 4GW of electricity in 1999. 20 years and $12 / $16 / $25 billion dollars later, our total power generation is still hovering around the very same 4GW. The bitter truth is that the black man is incapable of ruling himself. Bring back the Brits to rule us for just one tenure of 4 years and we would all be shocked at how useless the black man really is in leadership.

perfectly right.. Unfortunately, many sentimental ones will come and dispute what u said. Black man has not recorded any success managing a country and growing the country him self. Black is poor in terms of leadership. Blacks can do well in already made system but cant build a working system. Simple

if the British were still ruling us, yeah, they would loot, just as our leaders are looting us, the British would av still developed us better than we are right now.

This guy would have done worse if he was made caf President.

Take a look at our own league. Nothing to write home about.

OGHENAOGIE:
I node part of those foolish guys who said jersey rubbish... more so super sports analysts no get four heads they are privileged to be there...i repeat after we equalize the match was 50-50...if we had drag it to extra time... with good discipline we could have pull something out of it...all this Nigeria were not supposed to beat Algeria is rubbish...2012 chelsea vs Barça semis...ist leg Chelsea had one shot on target de scored..barca had four they scored non...second leg Barça had over 15 scored two Chelsea had 3 shots scored two...yes Chelsea were not supposed to win but they knock out Barça and won the cup that year...

Not for a team that did not create any scoring chance in the whole of 90 minutes.

Pls, super eagles didnt play well at the tournament.

This is why i always laugh when people scream, money this and that before marriage. Money is extremely important but no one should ever underplay the importance of love and other minor qualities. Bro, ur wife don waka and even if she returns, she may never remain the same. Move on bro. From the look of things, u are really attached to her.

U married a woman who couldnt stay with u during the storm. When people scream, money and size of pocket and over emphasize the importance and down play the importance of true love, i smile. They dont know anything. Person wey get better job today can be sacked tomorrow. Nothing is guaranteed in life. Nothing.

Someone whose business is doing fine may take a downward movement tomorrow. This is why one need to test the ability of a partner to remain with u during dry seasons. My bro, u didnt marry a great woman. Im sorry, move on. she is not coming back. All these she is doing is to see if u can bounce back financially. If u do, she will return, if u dont, bye bye. Well, i would suggest as u hustle, pls find someone else. And this time, calm down marry person wey no go leave u run because of life challenges.

kodded:
is Madagascar a formidable team too

The team is the surprise team of the tournament and if u listen to super sport analysts, they said same thing. The team shocked a lot. And like i said, super eagles did not play well in this tournament. They were just lucky.

Lateef73:
That guy is working for his Thirty Thousand Naira monthly salary, he can't reason like normal Nigerian again. He's now a certified Zombie.

The least such person can do is avoid the thread. I mean can humans be this shameless?

It is the reason I can't work for govt or anyone sef. Bro, my heart won't permit me to support stupidity like this. Is that guy happy with 30k as salary? Can he marry with such money? He can't even afford a decent phone with that.

I don't know why God made me to share same country with these set of people..

post=80391317:
God bless you for this mature response Patriot.

God bless Nigeria.

Pls bro, I do not intend to argue with u.. Pls answer me, are u in support of what just happened?

I mean, the law was clear on who can occupy the position, and a person with such qualification is given the job by our President and u are happy with that? I am still trying to understand u.

An slowpoke trying to act like a chameleon...baba you are igbo.. Stop lying

He is not igbo, he is trying to cause havoc between igbos and others.

ohabiam:
It's just a pity that they'll eventually be caught.
U can't easily run around with =N=120million when DSS & interpol is on ur trail.
Any attempt for them to make an international movement the money they'll be caught cos they don't av the connection or network of criminals like our politicians who often do that,

If they plan well, they will escape to another small country. Our borders are weak. All they need is proper night movements and bribery of few hundreds of thousands. They will scale out. Those guys Don plan wella before this act.

obi58:
You made some good points but don't get it twisted: Algeria is not that good. They are only more tactically disciplined and have one world class player in Mahrez.

Even with him, if we had fielded a goalkeeper like Ezenwa and not that basket Akpeyi we would have stood a far better chance!

The weaknesses of the super eagles was there for all to see: our poor passing game (transition) and our basket Akpeyi which led to the shaky defence. Algeria knew these and took advantage while our so called coach went to sleep instead of addressing the issues.

Those things u called weakness are what they are.. Weakness. Something must kill a team. So my point is why would anyone hold Jersey accouubtable for the mess?

And the Algerian team, Mahrez is not the man of that team. Listen to super sport analysts say same thing. SE never created a single clear chance to even attempt a goal.

Kenturkey048:
and Algeria couldn't score a formidable goal...their both goals was an own goal and an easy free kick that carpenter turned goal keeper couldn't get...sometimes the way we analise things gat me thinking if we see things from a transcendental realm..did they technically organised any ball from defense to score us...??Algeria is good...but what I can assure you is that if that match had gotten to extra time ,we for win...players were busy keeping strength for extra time...only for that useless keeper to concede a goal ,,...set block,,stand for where ball come..but to catch am na problem...Nonsense..

Sentiment will kill this country. U couldn't get a single clea cut chance in 90 minutes and u were planing to win in extra time.

The goal nigeria scored was not VR that helped us? I am talking about those who keep saying Jersey made us lose. This country and yeye believe in all these supernatural stuff has gotten out of hand.

OGHENAOGIE:
oga stop this misyarn abeg... Portugal was not supposed to win euro 2016 they were not the best team but with discipline and determination they won the host France in finals...
after Nigeria equalize it was 50-50 till that free. kick...Tunisia were poor in ist round. .infact they won their ist match at quarter finals but they still made semis...make una stop all this talk of Nigeria were not supposed to beat Alsgeria

No, make Una stop the talk of Jersey made Algeria beat Nigeria. That is foolishness.

Which mach was 50/50? Super eagle had no clear chance at all. Not even in the second half. Pls stop that yeye talk. Even super sport analysts said same thing about SE not having a clear chance to score.

Salmoneus:
Algeria will take the cup they're too awesome.

the team is on fire bro. I said it at the beginning of the competition that they will win it.

Those guys just need to keep building, and they can take up any team. I encourage the coach to go for more advanced training, play more high profile friendlies after this competition with top teams around the world. They have a good structure to work on.

kodded:
we wore the normal jersey, and we won

U guys should stop this play play. Tunisia happened to be in their worse form ever! They were so terrible. They were lucky to qualify.

Algeria is currently the best in form team at the tournament. Everyone knows this..

Super ealges would av been eliminated if they had met a formidable team before the semi final.

Algeria was the only formidable team super eagles played.

On that semi final day, Algeria created up to five clear chances to score. Just that their attack lacked finishing that very night. This has nothing to do with jersey.

Tunisia is the most disappointing team at the tournament and what happened to them is mainly coach's application of players. They were the second best ranked team going into the tournament. I just dont know what happened to their players and coach. They have been terrible in scoring. In fact, scoring and defending, they av been terrible.

Algeria out played super eagles becus Algeria is currently the hottest team now. I dont see senegal beating them. They are too good. All Algeria needs to do is to sharpen their attack to take on their chances and score, with that, they can take any global team. Their four players upfront are headaches to defenders and the coach knows how to apply them very well.

Moving with private jet in the poverty capital of the world.


Nigerian leaders and supporters, I weep for una!

namiji2598:
This man jus dey fresh❤️❤️❤️❤️ while an average Igbo man believing and really fighting for the IPOB jus dey die.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well, that is how an average Nigerian, die believing in one nigeria. Do u want me to release records provided by agencies of how many Nigerians have died this year alone?

So, can u see, ur statement holds no water. As poverty, hunger, poor leadership, unemployment, death, etc, keep rising as a result of Nigerians belief in One Nigeria, same story bro. Think!

Mehn, how did i land in this country to share same with these guys? Just close ur eyes and imagine a Nigeria made of simply southern Nigeria.

Peaceful. These guys are barbaric. I mean no sane person should ever give them land, both good and bad becus no one knows who is good or bad.

These guys method of killing is unpresented.

Wizklynd23:
Only some blind fellows here will think OBJ
mean well for us in this country..
Right from the onset his always selfish

Even though he is selfish, did that take away the truth in what he is saying?

One thing is the source of the letter, another thing is the content proper.

Not just him, the entire political class don't want us to divide..

Lol, na south south oil cause am. These politicians enjoy so much from our current system of govt..

GISpro:
I wonder why Nigerians think their country is the only place where problems exist.

Hey bro. No where without problems.. Yes, we know. But we care about fundamental things of life like electricity, working health care, good education, first class transportation system, modern and organized markets, etc. U can't deny the fact that these things are needed in life.

Ur politicians earn too well while an average soldier and policeman can't buy a decent ride without indulging into corruption.

These are what we seek in our country.

kipesco:
I think there have been a lot of compromise at the Federal level.
It must be handled now.
May the FG knows what they are up to.

I keep telling u people that Buhari is no fit for the job. He has lost the control of so many things..

Why?

He is an ethnic bigot, he is a religious fanatics. Someone like Buhari, El rufia and Tinubu should rule religious countries like Saudi Arabia. Not Nigeria.

See what happened. Buhari so much trusted his fellow religious and ethnic fellows and painted a picture of superior ethnic group in a complex country like Nigeria. When he did this, some evil elements took advantage of it and loot, committed their natural inborn Gene of conquer and spread.

Buhari being a man who only trust his ethnic line, kept quiet, felt as long as his people are enjoying the national cake, they are saint and worthy. They lied to him, he couldn't access situations by him self. As it stands, the situation is worse than as painted on the media. It is crazy out there. Many people are getting kidnapped daily. If u are close to police, u will understand.

Buhari caused this. He is no fit as a leader of a complex country like this. This man may drag us into war if care is not taken.

Never ever u make an ethnic group look more superior than others in Nigeria, especially among the three major groups. That was where he failed.

YorubaHero12:
Donald trump just keep ridiculing the office of the president, the USA is a nation that other nation look up to based on her core values and democracy.

The reason USA is a great country is not only because of its military might but the trust other nation put in her as an upright nation with people of integrity at the helm of affairs.

Trump is everything un-American and he has fought almost all the allies of the United States by insults and desecrating the office of the president.

Donald trump wife Melania is from Slovenia, she became a permanent resident in 2001, and obtained USA citizenship in 2006. Why can’t Trump tell her to go back to her country also?

Donald’s grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, so why can’t he just accept other people of color as American?

To all of you on Nairaland trying to support blindly, just know he sees all of you as people from shiit.hole countries, and no amount of praise singing will change his perception of our skin.

Oh, yes, I am froma shithole country. I love what he is doing. If everyone keeps running to usa all to escape shithole, do u think USA will survive it?

Dude is trying to save the country. WIth the rate people are running to usa, the economy may not hold it well. I like what he is doing. Is it not in this same country some people are saying non Lagosians from the east should leave and go back to their shithole states? Or no be for this same country we have heard many people abuse some tribes for traveling to other states to hustle too?

Funny enough some of the people who make such statements are also not happy with what Trump is doing. Any ways, no country in this life loves outsiders to come in em numbers and make things difficult for the real owners of the country. many countries are updating their immigration policies. If everyone migrate to the USA, her economy will collapse.

Humans should stop running from their fears! We must learn to stop ethnic based politics and hold our leaders accountable. If we did, we wouldnt be fighting to run to USA.

seunmsg:
No. I condemn all forms of bigotry.

u would be very bias to admit this. I dont think any sensible person has made claims that fulanis are all bad. No, the wide spread of killings and raping that many community heads have reported all by them selves were not done by just one person. The reports have been against killer herdsmen.

And since they no dey write killer herdsmen for face, people started becoming very careful with the herdsmen and not fulanis.

Get it right, na when they wipe out the entire communities, una eyes go close. U guys in this country love to play politics with everything. The yorubas i know are not really interested in bashing the fulanis, however, since many of their rulers and community heads are beginning to open up and weep about herdsmen, it shows there is huge truth in it.

I have met many victims of herdsmen. No one said fulanis are all bad, they are saying herdsmen. Simple! They are destroying farmlands. I was traveling sometimes last year, i saw how these herdsmen were busy damaging crops along the express way in Agbor, delta state. That alone is extremely provocating. U cant damage my source of income and expect me not to react. I must. And in most cases, when the owners of these farms react, the herdsmen kill them.

Also, when they camp in ur village, they mostly rob and rape women. They once had a camp close to my village about 10 years ago. It was so bad. Our people gave them land o. After some years, they started raping our women. That is in the east, Abia precisely. I know their settlement back then. They started raping and stealing something that was totally strange in my town then.

Until they killed one married woman who they came to rape in her husband's house. That was the it. My village community reported the matter to Orju Kalu then. He was really a politician who loves dancing with every tribe, so he didnt do much about the herdsmen whom we gave land. The matter almost went out of hand until they were asked to leave.

So, bros, politics aside, herdsmen cause problems. The best thing here is for them to buy lands for ranches. So, anyone who sells to them can now face it and give them his or her own terms and conditions.

No one is saying all fulanis are bad, they are saying herdsmen who are all fulanis. The fact that Pat was helped was helped by northerner has not changed the fact that herdsmen are killing and raping people.

They kidnapped my ex gf. It was horrible experience for her. They mostly rob and rape at night along those heavy forests. sometimes, they work with darger and not guns. They are really heartless. What pains me more is that they easily rape women. It is so disgusting.

Deepfeel:
The man is selfish he has other wife's to attend to sexually so why won't she cheat on him

No, if she couldnt cope with that, she should have divorced him..u cant be cheating under my roof. U are very much free to leave me.

Cwazyloner:
I’ll agree and disagree with you ‘bout Nigerians not knowing their right . The problem isn’t the civilians but the military, police and other high government officials.

The civilians have little knowledge of what it’s going on in government and I guess that’s what you mean by poor education ? You will surprised ‘bout the number of people who doesn’t know where the government office in their various states are .

The military who could easily hijack the government and turns things around for better ain’t complaining nor the police , how much more the civilians who has a little voice ?

You sound intelligent and smart , what are you doing to changes this obstacle ? Ever gather a lot of people for protesting ? I just hiss whenever I see people blaming the civilians toward the government. We ain’t ready yet , until then .

In my own little way, I have led protest for changes in my small corner. As for protesting against govt, it is a complex movement, that is where activists, public figures, celebrities come into play.
