 Politics › Re: Why More International Firms Prefer Ghana To Nigeria by Reference(m): 12:47pm On Apr 19, 2021 |
Nemere2020:But I don't get the fuel stuff. The popular saying is that fuel is cheaper in Nigeria than on the West Coast and all around us thus the horrendous smuggling.. How come the news here is that ATK is cheaper in Accra and planes prefer to refuel there. Who is lying please and where are these damn journalists to verify facts. 1 Like |

favour32:If they ban all those clubs mentioned banks, corporate sponsors will abandon the game of soccer in droves. FIFA/UEFA watched as clubs evolved from amateur weekend only entities to become self supporting, professional establishments in the 30's 40's and 50's. FIFA/UEFA watched as clubs exchanged their supoorters ownership structures for corporate identities in the 70"s, 80's and 90's. FIFA/UEFA watched as billionaire moneybags from the west, oligarchs from the east and oil sheikhs from the middle grabbed elite soccer by the jugular stating two decades ago. FIFA/UEFA have stood idly by watching the pussycat turn into a 300 pound ferocious feline. What exactly did they expect. What did they think would happen when they sold their birthright in handing Qatar, Qatar OF ALL COUNTRIES the hosting right to the 2022 World Cup. They shamelessly made a stand for money and now it is tearing all world soccer apart. Everyone wants to leverage on his strength and grab as much as possible. Covid has shown that Papa FIFA cares for himself only. The kids want to fend for themselves. 27 Likes |

It has never held back innovation, quest or liberty. FIFA/UEFA should allow the top clubs have a bigger say in the way its elite European competition is organised. 6 Likes |

Hmmm...the crypto currency of the soccer world is here. Everywhere you look the old world order is being challenged and here FIFA and UEFA act like typical Central Banks. You just cannot tie down the human desire for liberty. It may work now or not but one thing for sure, except that which God Almighty creates, nothing lasts forever. What is FIFA or UEFA. Just an Association. A club. A group of people coming together to do stuff. Period. It is not eternal. It had a beginning. It can have an end. 22 Likes |

If Arteta fails to win Europa he should be let go at season's end. You just feel he has maxed out his potentials and I cannot see in him the aura of attracting top players to a club not playing in Europe next time around. Arsenal needs quality all round. Players, coaches and perhaps management. Every person in that club has failed. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The patriotism you speak about is showing consistent views across all interests and speaking up honestly about issues bothering the whole (not part) of the nation. He is a Minister to Nigeria not Minister servant to a political party, a certain regions or certain faith. Patriotism is taking all these into account in all utterances and actions.

The choices are stark heading into 2023. We had better get an astute economist into Aso Rock. We are done with military backgrounders that sound logical in a climate of insecurity. If we cannot return our economic to the path of real growth we will only be fuelling insecurity with a growing army of disenchanted while the resources available to combat them will continue shrinking. Our anti corruption only choice in 2015 has proven to be a strategic error. We have not seen any benefit of the much vaunted anti corruption fight while other aspects of life and living have been left moribund. |

WriterNig:I think Covid will have a big say in the final figures. Tourism is a big part of income and we cannot say if global travel restrictions will be eased by then. Already the summer Olympics in Tokyo will be void of fans and massive losses in tourism income. Secondly commercial sponsorships flows with the global economy and things are yet to recover from the pandemic. There will be a lot of cancelled deals. It will be tough for Qatar. Earnings on their gas resources too are not doing too well at the moment. |

Covid has been a huge distraction to residual health challenges this past year. When focus is regained I do hope the statistics will not be unnerving. BTW, who has noticed his/her health improve drastically since the pandemic started. I mean those who have been religiously observing sanitary protocols till date. It appears a lot of niggling illnesses are either spread by social interaction, touching, ventilation,, etc, or perhaps our restricted exposure has given our bodies the latitide to fight off other infections since we are clamping down on the human to human transmissible ones. Just observed that over the past year haven't caught the flu, neither the usual bouts of malaria and other tropical infections. This hand washing thing really works. 5 Likes |

His crime is sgainst the law, against what society has termed unacceptable. His crime is not agsinst the NDLEA or its operatives. So be advised to weigh the scenario aright. If he sees any of them trafficking or consuming controlled substances he can petition the agency on our behalf and we will thank him for helping us clean up society.

Everyone shouting rape here when it is a clear case of murder/assassination. That certain documents were missing in a clear hint of those behind it which sounds like the fallout of deal making or high value posessions. The rape was certainly to dehumanise the victim, not the primary reason for the assault and I won't be surprised if they find signs of torture. I hope the police won't fall for that and prosecute the incident as a sex crime, totally missing the point and possibly a much wider conspiracy. All her associates should come under the microscope. 1 Like |
