Remove the word 'entirely'.
The demands of any structure requires a variety of material properties.

Where are the 'there is inflation everywhere in the world' crew....
It appears the war in Ukraine has not reached Austrialia mutton.
Or that 'excessive' rain does not fall in this part of the world.

You just wonder how those on permanent medication will cope.
Where health insurance is ineffectual and limited and government interventions even worse.
Yet the irrational nature of the Nigerian will not let him kick against bad governance because of sentiment.
Dying yet hanging tight to useless pride.

Just passing. Said enough on this matter. In a few short months it will be one year of this administration.

Still, no cohorent strategy to get this country up and out of the rot. Having realized that the people they lead are have condemned themselves to bearing the burdens of leadership failure there is certainly no haste.

No longer bothered. Said enough.
Nigerians are not concerned about how they are governed, why should I..?

waternogetenemy:
They should not over feed him, no be food be him wahala.
He cannot walk off the calories.

And a very unhealthy one for that matter. The so called 'swallow' which is just a sugar sump.
Should not be eating such stuff.
His doctor is not helping him.

Naijayouth:
How could Uzoho concede that cheap goal

I cannot speak enough about the calamity in that team between the sticks called the goalkeeper.
Said enough about the fellow but in one instance I was insulted on this forum.
Guess we are condemned to learn the hard way.

If anyone has seen that man ever save a shot on target in the green jersey he should upload the stats.

Mkook:
Make nigeria win this one

We are already down 0-1....

Nigerians just don't like accountability.... that is at all. But this is one of the pillars of democracy.... that is the ability to hold government to account consistently.

And when government, indeed leadership knows and understands this they are less likely to misappropriate resources. If such mechanisms are not there the chase for good governance will continue to be 'after the fact, after the act of misgovernance.

An enlightened and forceful citizenry is the one sure guarantee of good governance. Let us not remain a people who 'vote and forget'. No system in the world will deliver without scrutiny. Driving the nation to progress demands the citizens put their 'hands to the wheel' as diligently as a man drives an automobile.

Yes, the PDP had to go because it mismanaged governance for decades but part of the reason for that was impunity, the feeling that it was beyond correction, beyond reproach. It got so bad because the government was not 'democratically driven' by the people.

The LP candidate has sure started in a far better way and the changes made to government has been remarkable.
But if these changes are to last then the people of that state cannot afford to let the government a minute space. Because to err is so, so easy when power is absolute. Nigerians must learn that to love does not absolve from correction. Correction is part of success. Questions to further this matter MUST be asked.

Let us stop fighting one another as citizens on BASIC issues of accountability. The mixed signals it sends are the weed seeds of impunity.

Win, win, win elections is all they know how to do.
They have doctorates in winning elections but are completely at sea when it comes to governance.
Just look at the country they took over in 2015 and where it is now.
Complete shambles.
Not a single national issue solved, not a single sector has progressed.
But that is enough for their teeming supporters.

Every four years people rush to the polls to vote in new governments without a simple assessment of what their franchise was able to achieve or attain for them in the previous one.

They bring in government after government but nothing changes positively for them. They gain nothing from the democracy they claim to practice. That is the democracy they fight and insult each other for.

Shameful.

By the second paragraph the relationship is already defined as one 'who is supportive' and 'sends money'....

Now that the tap is turned off you have redefined the relationship.

There are very, very few people who will wish to continue a relationship on that basis.

CaptainFM1:
Why was Osimhen not played in that match?

kk

He is injured....and is almost always injured when he plays for Nigeria. He's hardly featured for.this club this season. They are the biggest losers here.

But issues involving military peronnel and crime has never been handled by the civil criminal justice system and this is not just in this country.

The military has its own law enforcement departments which the EFCC should have worked with from the start of investigation.

If the individuals are then found guilty they can only be handed over after being dismissed from service.

The normal thing is to investigate first. Detention for interrogation is at the point of sufficient evidence to warrant such.

You just don't go about arresting military personnel and by so doing pulling them out of duty without the knowledge of their service. The implications are serious.

However the manner the Airforce acted is abysmal to say the least. And it is regretful that after 24 years of continual democratic governance they have not evolved mechanisms to save us from this kind of unsavoury drama.

So the latest excuse for the situation in Nigeria is that there is inflation throughout the world.

Abeg, those who are apt at online research and the diaspora please post the prices of common/household goods and the prices of over the counter medications over the past two, three, five years for comparison and let us see just how well Nigeria has been doing under this mystical government that has been doing 'very well'.

The only thing I can say here is that.... told you folks.
Democracy 101.... DO NOT RETURN A FAILED GOVERNMENT TO POWER.

There are so many reasons for this, and the principal one is simple: the people will be taken for granted.
We can see the total lack of urgency in addressing the economic situation.
The people are just left with all expectation to ADAPT.

Any system that can readily yield 45 billion to thieves is the problem that calls for urgent concern.
Because it can be stolen again.

So the issue is not only about how or what was recovered but how it was stolen in the first place and what is being done to ensure it doesn;t happen again.

This is the difference between an advanced and a retarded society.
The difference between one that progresses over time as against one that regresses year after year.

ndidibabe:
What does this have to do with watching foreign league?

Maybe our players were busy watching Belgium yesterday instead of training.....hahahaha...
Don't mind them.

They don't know that if it is only them we are able to watch we will have lost our minds and be revolting in this country by now.
We will have become a security threat and who knows if the NFF secretariat will not have been burnt down.
Abeg, foreign footy is the only distraction in this country oh....the only tonic to prevent corporate madness and the breakdown of law and order.... not this provocation they feed us with every FIFA free date.

mp3ree:
As long as Paserio is our coach and Uzoho is our keeper, we will not qualify... Mark my words

Was he between the sticks today?....

Glad I am not watching.
Absolute rubbish.
Our standards are too low in this country.
We take too much bull

Funny country.
I can watch Belgium playing a friendly in HD but I cannot watch Nigeria play World Cup qualifiers in any definition....

Nonny95:
As a business owner, you arrange an interview to select a new CEO for your business, but end up employing a candidate with no capacity for the role - 'cause of base sentiments, & now you're hounding the qualified candidate you rejected to come sit with you in strategy sessions and share his vision/plans for the enterprise and also proffer solutions to the problems crippling your organization's growth/progress??

Imagine people that booted out GEJ are now calling for ideas from opposition leaders😂😂

Well this is a quagmire because we really do not know how democracy works..... I'm too tired to explain, too much work today, later abeg.

Entertainers have become public liability Number 1.

nedu666:
Unfortunately na statistics we go chop. A president that goes out looking for foreign investment when inflation is approaching 30% must realise that returns on investment must exceed 30%

*sighs*..... naso we don talk taya.
I don't know how anyone will want to pour cold water on a smoking pan of oil.

These are the matters that should be of concern to citizens every waking day and folks should be hounding the government about the cost of living crises, the cost of business crises, the cost of investment crises. But they are not interested.

iwaeda:
Bayo Onanuga was doing his hireling job yesterday.

Not everyone that works for government works in the interest and for the good of the government.
The job of spokesman in Nigeria has degenerated to become one for the uncouth.

Somehow they feel that the more ferocious and unsavoury their counterattacks the better, knowing not that it indicates, reveals the temperature and pressure operating within those protected circles and the lack of calmness required for rational decision making amongst leadership.

Doesn't Ribadu sound like a cool cucumber.....

Well that is a good development and very commendable of the Federal government for responding to the unfortunate incident and with the prior apology of the State Governor things should be sorted out quickly. Good leadership is always characterized by qualitative decision making in a timely manner.

Supremos:
Bros he has right to campaign for whomsoever he wants, election is over, it's time for national healing and building. Cheers

This is the problem.
A people that do not know HOW to organise themselves into a viable society.
Painful to see his situation but the bolded is EXACTLY why we are here.
And I call it what the statement portends, IRRESPONSIBILITY.

His 'right' (whether it is true who he did vote or not) has consequences.
Elections may be over but the consequences remain and may remain till the next time he has a choice to make.

We feel we can separate issues, take certain actions and have another life to experience something entirely different from the consequences. It will just not happen. Nigerians of all leanings must become diligent to know that only they can determine what they experience within a geo-political entity.

I don't vote, never have voted, have never seen a system in place to make me vote any party or candidate but I take full responsibility everyday for the situation in Nigeria because I feel I am not acting right or putting enough effort in doing right. So I find it utterly unimaginable that someone will say or think he can 'campaign for whomsoever he wants and after elections are over he can assume things will just begin to work right of their own accord.....

The man is complaining of inflation. Inflation did not fall from the sky. It is a direct result of leadership decisions founded on an ideology those who took the decisions believe and practice. And leadership is put there by you and I. So what do you want to heal and build on that sure foundation of leadership.

Sunkyapogee:
Who can he bench?

Anyone who calls himself a striker in that team.

Not the best club for now but for the Blues it will be a 100% upgrade on Mr. Jackson.
But the biggest worry is that any transfer fee will be a record and this will weigh heavily on his shoulders in a league where the press does exactly that, neck pressing any laxity.

Gbadebo19:
De Laurentis is the problem of that club

Yeah, I understand that he is a very difficult person to work with.

Yeah, Rudi Garcia was like placing ice cream in an oven but Walter Mazzarri is hardly the ideal replacement for the defending champion.
Italian teams and the Italian league remains a closed introverted system.

There are many, many competent and capable managers across Europe, even in lesser leagues that can replicate the success of the past season.

Mazzarri in my opinion is yesterday's news. It is like bringing back Rafa Benitez to coach Manchester City when Pep eventually decides to leave.

This tells me two things about Nigeria, viz South Africa and its socio-economy.
One, the huge gap in the size and more importantly the spread of tourism between both countries.
And even more telling, the gap between the sizes of the middle-class of both countries which for all intents and purposes is almost extinct in Nigeria.

Lovely pictures.
