Lique 1 is not visible in this part of the world so I guess he will only be seen in the dozen or so CL matches this season....
What a fall.

Politics › Re: Twitter Ban: ‘why Nigeria’s Foot-dragging On Dialogue With Micro Blogging Firm’ by Reference(m): 12:11pm On Aug 10, 2021
FreeStuffsNG:
Twitter should go to CAC and register. Build physical office here, hire our teeming youths and pay tax. Nigeria has lost billions of dollars in unremited tax by Twitter that the microblogging site should have been paying all along but local businesses pick up Twitter's tax and pay huge social cost of Twitter including the consequences of Twitter yielding its platform for terrorists and vicious state actors killing our patriots and innocent citizens.

Anything outside these conditions is not in our nation's best interest. What's source for the goose is good for the gander.

Twitter should do the needful unless it wants to be an NGO non profit by continuing with the non-revenue generating VPN crew who just while away time on Twitter and don't pay for ads .

At the end, except Twitter is restored, Twitter will completely lose patronage from big pockets that pay billions for ads like banks, news media, premium MDAs etc . Their competitors like Facebook, nairaland etc are already smiling anyway. God bless Nigeria.
So how much has Facebook and Nairaland paid as taxes since Twitter was banned if by your assertion they will be quaking in their boots. You guys are just dense upstairs. You cannot attract simple bricks and mortar businesses into Nigeria but are busy chasing industries that are as volatile as air. Does it not occur to you that it is easier to hold the wind in your hand than control cyberspace. Never seen such ignorant people given so much power. Well Nigeria today is the result.

What is the difference between this government and the one they replaced on account of wanton corruption.... nothing.
Day after day the same stories of theft everywhere.

For the only difference I can see between the past and now appears to be the indifference of the citizenry who are either too tired to fight or too ashamed to talk.

The same recurrent lessons.
Elections have consequences.
Do not empower people you cannot control.
In other climes people go to the polls for the purpose of IMPROVING their lives on a personal and then communal basis.
Here we vote for all the wrong reasons:

Rewarding a bribe.
Sentimental trip.
Ego trip.

Those we empower know what they want, which does not include our interests.
Those of us who empower them do not know what we want. So we often get nothing.... but pain.

I am sorry. But the truth is that the summary of your franchise in 2019 is a man under a shed extorting you.
Next time, do better. You can do better.... to experience better.

Life is easy and straightforward for the wise.

Any nation that cannot hold its elected leaders accountable should be prepared to suffer.

SmartPolician:
I don't understand why everyone is attacking Buhari for something the DSS did. That secret police has a chief and everyone should be calling him out.

We know that Buhari is terribly incompetent, but we cannot continue to blame him for the inadequacies and overzealousness of people who he appointed to run critical institutions of the state.

These people need to understand that they owe the country a duty to serve her, not the clueless Aso Rock herder.
And when the security man at the gate you employed to control access begins to assault your friends and family, act dumb and play the ostrich and let us see what happens.

Your response is typical of Nigerians who cannot see the relationships between their poor thinking, failed decisions and sad experiences. Unfortunately those empowered have it clear in their minds what they want to achieve and pass the message down the instruments of their oppression while those who suffer the consequences fall over themselves to exonerate them.

Today it is not Mr. President's fault. Tomorrow they shout, 'he has the RIGHT to appoint whom he wants'.
Will they disobey their benefactor. Abeg wake up.
Government in Nigeria is personalised and takes the image of the principal. Stop self deception.

Nice observation. Too many of our leading men and women are not conscious or respectful of their bodies and lives in general. Is longevity not a black thing.

You just sense that Nigerians are just desperate to find a lightning rod to vent their frustrations in a country boiling over like a cauldron with all manner of hardships when it is clear their present experiences have more to do with their poor electoral choices rather than Mr. Kyari and his misdemeanours.

If not I cannot understand why every word written on this sad chapter has to be made into a blockbuster motion picture with unending sequels. I am sure the government and ruling party must be relieved they are not the ones making headlines this week for their usual 'Hunger Games'..
Sports › Re: Osimhen Scores Twice As Napoli Crush Bayern Munich by Reference(m): 12:15pm On Aug 01, 2021
Watched parts of the match.
Was not a 'crushing'. Napoli was outplayed most of the match and only when Nagelsmann brought in the children second half did Napoli capitalize on three defensive giveaways to score.
Well taken goals by Osimen though.
What remains of his game is his work rate. When he loses the ball he doesn't fight to win it back.
That kind of play just cannot cut it in Spain or England. He should watch top strikers like Harry Kane.

Travel › Re: 7 Most Beautiful Cities To Visit In Nigeria - Pictures by Reference(m):
Practically none. Nigeria is not a tourist friendly nation.

It takes a people at peace with themselves, that embrace common values and envision a collective future that can attract curiosity.

Nigeria is too predictable. It is like a factory making pencils. You know what to expect morning, noon and night.

It takes a soulless robot to enjoy what Nigeria tourism has to offer.

It is like beauty. It starts from within. And is absent if its only superficial.

These people and lies shaaaa a.

How come all of us for naija never get the meningitis?
Because we may have natural immunity aka, herd immunity built up over time and established in our populations which they may not have.
Be informed.

The Spanish and Portuguese adventures to the Americas in the dark ages wiped away hundreds of communities and thousands of native tribesmen who had no natural immunity to the diseases those Europeans carried. It still happens today and Covid has alerted the world to the grave dangers of cross border infections particularly from non native species of animals.

Every sensible government is on alert.

No citec estate road
From airport junction jabi heading towards EFCC HQ or FMC whole of that road bad
That road is too slow and vulnerable because it is not a dual carriageway. I do not understand why after so many years it has not been standardised to enable high speed drive. No street lights, nothing. Even with the removal of all the speed bumps it remains a very slow road. That is why criminals can pounce.

Lovely...
Perhaps Nigeria will advance to join the league of leading nations where questions are always asked at the appearance of riches. Where the tax man will be the first at your doorstep the following morning and much of your social media followers will be men of the law.

The days of 'Billionaire', 'Millionaire' replacing 'Occupation' on the pages of social application forms to worth and self respect will eventually come to an end.

For our collective information, like politicians, the stupendously rich and ostentatiously lavish are viewed with high suspicion and are not universally embraced even in hardcore capitalist societies.

For in a circular world where 'matter, financial matter indeed cannot be created or destroyed' if you are not known for advancing humanity by science and technology, it must mean you are scheming resources off the ignorance, greed or indolence of others.

No one appreciates that reality.

@OP.
All your posts are mischievous attempts to demarket your competitor, Dangote Sugar.

This is unethical and has criminal implication.
You are deliberately using misinformation to get your brand ahead of your competitors. You can actually be prosecuted for this.

If the Dangote Sugar management team knows what they are doing, by now they should be reporting you to the police or the regulator of your profession.

I hope the mod who pushed it to the frontpage will learn a lesson too.

Those bags may not even be authentic Dangote Sugar!

Stop hyperventilating. This is what Nigeria needs.
First get manufacturing going and then get competition boiling.
That is how industry is established, deepened and consolidated for the benefit of all.

You need to see the brickbats between industrial competitors in advanced countries to know we have not even started.

If you know the age long battles that rage between Mercedes Benz, BMW and Audi played out on the media streets for instance, between Coca-cola and Pepsi, between Samsung and Apple, and so many more you will understand nothing happens in Nigeria and that players here are mainly in cahoots, just one big cartel.

Just a couple of weeks ago Virgin and Blue Origin even clashed in the heavens with one dissing the other for the right to the 'edge of space'.
At the end NASA had to tell that bald billionaire shop keeper that he is yet an astronaut.... grin

C'mon, lighten up. We need more of this.
Nigerians just cannot take a hit without crumbling.
How do you thrive without adversity.
