Watching to see how Madrid balances their transfers... At this rate of spending...

Then again Uefa has always been quite selective and biased in the enforcement of FFP regulations. Wonder how much they received this time from Perez.

They have quite a lot in the bag actually having not made significant signing the past two seasons and CR7 off the accounts. That alone frees up funds for at least one signing.

The signing of Brazilian players no longer carries the excitement of years gone by no thanks to the over abundance of 'primadonas'. The average Brazilian superstar is more of hot air these days, spoilt brats and highly unprofessional.

The good old days of the Cafu's, the Ronaldos, Ronaldinho's, Roberto Carlos and the Kaka's. The period when every top European club had a Brazilian star as an important trophy winning device in his squad is gone. These days it is touch and go, an unwrapped package that could spring surprises both ways.

And with this has their fortunes at the national team level faded. Like Nigeria they have stagnated, bogged down in the mire of player misfortune.

...30 years!!! and looking like a tramp..... folks, location is overrated. A flight ticket cannot turn a pussycat into a lion. Spend quality time developing your persona starting with the mind. Then you can succeed anywhere at anything from absolutely nothing. Proximity to opportunity does not confer success. Success is not infectious.

Nigeriabiafra80:
What of ministry of motor spare parts
Ministry of building material
Ministry of palm oil
Ministry of cocoa

Ask me. Is there not a Ministry of Agricul4ture. What is so special about cattle rearing. What percentage does it contribute to our GDP, tax income, foreign exchange earnings, etc, that it requires the bureaucracy of a distinct supervising Ministry.

Day by day these fellows continue to lay claim for ownership of this country with scant regards for others in this complex, diverse entity called Nigeria.

Relax sir. There is no democracy in Lagos state. No one will hold you to account.

Serious minded leadership. No excuses. We have a problem, we fix it.

I sincerely hope the father can as well.

What i dont understand is how that huge sum got to the zoo in the first place.

Gate takings during the last festivities. Usually in cash.

Nigerian players: Onazi earns £2000 per week, he drives £50,000 car
Emenike earns £4000 per week he drives £70,000.

Two weeks after retirement they will be sleeping in gutters.

Hahaha.... they call it the Babayaro blues...but who can name the most prudent Nigerian sportsman (not just footballer) who has saved up/invested enough to sustain anything like a lifestyle in his/her active days. I will really love to know, to project such as a worthy example to the youth.

And I mean serious, real Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson type dynamic, hands-on investments, not investment luxury goods or properties that are high maintenance or dodgy hotels in barren wildernesses.

The babe looks old

Like I akways say.... way tooo much black coffee and smokes will do that to you....especially when you're malnourished.

you lots don't read or you don't understand things you read? Taxi on water ba?

Yes ma. Venice is below sea level and sinking. Most of the ancient streets have turned into canals over hundreds of years. Watercraft is the vehicle of choice in the ancient parts of the city and of course where there is transport there will be taxis.

This is how to grow, from root to top.... small club to bigger, messenger to manager....not like his....club team mate, one Kekechi who ironically is growing from leaves to roots at the same club presently with his mate potentially attracting interest from a certain Manchester club... the red half.

If this isn't one of the poignant lessons of life to us unlookers, I wonder what is....

I wanted to say something.... but I just donot have anytime to waste on frankly, useless set of administrators

The present management of INEC is bringing the agency into disrepute. It is a pity that they could not build on the successes of the 2015 team.

The only interest the men of this forum have about women are music, sexuality and scandals. There is so much more out there to understand and appreciate about women.

There are a lot of women out there with passing looks and figures and seemingly uneventful lives in the surface but beneath are doing exceptionally well and breaking all sorts of bounds and doing fantastic things.

Can we lay emphasis on these things for once.

She did the right thing. I will not even open it before deleting. The loss is on both sides caused by unprofessionalism. Calls to question the quality of staff in that organisation. She should push through and replace whoever made that blunder as a first step. Alpha Consulting my sorry ass.

Opexzy:
Thank you brother... Since this Hong Kong protest that involves 1/7 of the entire population (over 1.01 million) happened, i have been wondering, if only this can happen in Nigeria... Imagine 2 million outside NAS for days.. Make everybody bring tent...I am sure we will get the attention of every countries around the word and also the attention of our leaders too...

Why National Assembly? , why not the Presidency. Which power have you given the National Assembly to change Nigeria that you seek to protest there. To whom much power is given much deliverables are expected. You fold your arms while the Legislature and Judiciary are neutralized and made mere appendages of the Executive then you deceptively go there to protest.

Don't ever compare yourselves to foreign citizen activists. They know what they want, they develop collective values and don't practice hypocrisy. That is why you see them enmasse to better their country. They are not green white green crabs in this crab bucket of a country.

Walter Samuel isn't a black man

I think Argentina is the only South American nation without black citizens

They have a deep seated history of racism. They famously hosted Nazi war criminals fleeing Europe when no other country would accept them. That singular act I believe doomed their country for decades after. Their economy is never far away from bankruptcy and still very few nations do business with them. Should have been a direct competitor to their northern and more illustrious neighbours, Brazil.

They need a national cleansing.

MobilityExpress:
The time I worked as a terminal officer at apapa, I usually checked the hooks, if your hook is bad I won't let the plant man load your trailer. But well, sometimes, the terminal manager would override and instruct me to load them. Decongesting the terminal was his priority. Couldn't blame him, many of tthe trucks had bad hooks, and trying to enforce it at our terminal means we would have a serious traffic problem in our hands. And most of the truck drivers were agberoish, if you don't load them, they gang up and block your terminal. At the end of the day, you have customers to serve, whom don't want to pay demurrage more than they incurred. So the whole thing is complicated. Only government is strong enough to tackle the trailer unions about this matter. There's nothing terminals can do without suffering serious backlash that will cripple operations.

Open up other ports and all this grammar will end, period. New roads are being constructed by all citizens, new rail lines by the Federal Government, new airports by state governments, all to decongest traffic and attract business.

Why are ports and sea freight immune from development, expansion and new investment. What is the hindrance if not for cartels and vested interest.

mysteryman2014:
The wind is blowing toward the south, collectively let denounce the state of insecurity in the land irrespective of the geo political location.

Too much killing with impunity, high time the government admits its incapacity and seek for foreign assistance.

But it boasts security as one if its first term successes. Or does security have another definition. This is what happens when a nation is collectively docile. Not demanding the needful from the Executive to act with the tools of government it has, not demanding from the Legislature for new and reformed framework to handle institutions effectively, not demanding from the Judiciary for swift and coincise decisions against felons.

We will all suffer for our collective negligence and ignorance. Farmers will stay away, productivity will fall, prices will go up, i fkation will rise, poverty will increase and more youths will embrace crime. It is a terrible vicious cycle.

otokx:
The sad part is that some parts of the south south are not faring better.

As usual, distraction. To change the narrative. What will it profit you to hide issues when they come up. Who does surgery in the dark. The topic is about Zamfara. There are enough issues about the South-South. This is not the platform to debate them.

ediko5:
So anyone killed by hoodlums or cultists is a cult member?

Nigerians with dumb mentality.

Do you know what happened before he was killed. Do you know that cultists can kill you if you they realized you are an informant to security agency?

Do you know how many innocent young men have died in the hands of cultists because they ignorantly had a relationship with a girlfriend of a cult member.

Don't be so dump my friend. Use your head!

Oga. If you have a child all you have listed as excuses is exactly what you should be teaching the child to avoid. If this what you do then dig your grave, period. My children will not waste all the resources invested in them and the life God has given them on some silly excuse. If you like toy with yours.

JudasNaCarrot:
One idiat down.....more to go!

What do you benefit being a cultist....nothing other than destruction and waste.

Now his parents will be the ones to bear the brunt.

Tufiakwa!

Let them bear it. They raised him. What did they teach him when others were using the rod of correction.

OYIBO too old quick

Too much black coffee and cigarettos.

essenceplus:
I know all these trust me 80% of containers on the roads aren't latched I've been monitoring containers for over 6 months now. If there are well latched, it won't fall the way it did in this case, the orderly fall I. Plies it wasn't latched at all

It goes beyond latching. The problem starts with the way the containers are loaded and the failure to stabilize the contents and secure them properly inside the containers. This mainly occurs after inspection when agents do a rush job in trying to beat demmurage. Pressure will always cause corner cutting.

Said enough about the Ports and the logistics industry in Nigeria with a spotlight on Lagos. It appears we are oreoared to die needlessly than do the needful. May sentiment not ruin us completely.

MetaPhysical:
Lets separate partisan politics from civic responsibility and need for accountability.

What happened in Kebbi?
Did the Governor sack an Acting CJ because of her complaint against discrimination?

I don't care if Nnamdi Kanu is the one seeking accountability, it is the rigjt thing to do.

That is what they do. The posters before you, defence, distraction and derailment. Typical Nigerians thay never seek value or truth. Just pecuniary shortsighted interests. Have they addressed the issue and thoroughly debated it before judging the vehicle of its delivery?

jumper524:
bro thanks for the detailed explanation on it.
The insecurity situation has made everybody to be in the war I think the artillery unit are the most involved currently..

They should protect my people abeg.

jumper524:
try meeting a soldier and understand the security situation and stop fact judging based on media rumors.. a quick fact check on this shows that this news is way old as early as may but Tribune online just decided to reflect it now just to debunk the Nigeria army claims of killing up to 700.
besides no reasonable website had the previous news when it first reflected in may.
now talking about killing up to 700 book harass, bro believe me. the military are killing more than that on a daily. in fact recently our fighter jets were just being equipped with bombs and there have been massive raid in their camps.
I've heard from soldiers of situation where they raid Boko Haram camps and killed more than 700boko boys. in fact they lost count as at 700. how do I verify this rumor? Yea it was easy to verify this when a military officer I clearly known was jailed in kaduna for running away from the said battle that killed that chunk of soldier.
he and his battalion were to unleash bombs on the bokoharam but he ran away meaning his troops did same leaving the artillery soldiers vulnerable.

I've lost two uncles who are surveyors (they go to monitor the situations before ambush) soldiers are at serious war with those folks.
all in all, they've been degraded much more than it was in 2017..

I'm a barrack boy and we've lost plenty soldiers.

They are not called surveyors but Recons. They are a unit embedded in the Infantry Corps with special skills to operate well ahead of the FOB and into 'enemy territory' to observe, record and report enemy operations. It is the most dangerous tasking in the Infantry Corps and only second to the work of Sappers in the Engineers Corps. In bad conflicts the casualty rate is almost 100 percent. They are the ones usually seen captured and promptly beheaded.

The Artillery Corps on the other hand has 'Observers' or spotters who typically take the safe, forward high ground to direct artillery fire and observe enemy movements and the effectiveness of the deliveries.

It is not normal for artillery units to be operating in close proximity to the enemy to be overrun easily. This is not right. The kill box of the smallest artillery piece we had the 105mm was 12 kilometers. In between that unit and the enemy will be several layers of infantry and armoured units. The idea being that as the army is in retreat the artillery moves first to set further back and give cover fire to the armoured units and infantry. That is how it was done back then.

Artillery units are not at the cutting edge of hand to hand combat. That is not their primary training. They have small arms but their proximity is their defence and protection. You donot want the enemy to get at your artillery to silence or capture it. It appears NA doctrine is changing.

Belial06:
iits is not ttoday the world knows that buhari , the government and the Nigerian army are a bunch of liars, so no one takes them seriously

They will keep telling lies till ISIS takes.over Lagos!!

Thank goodness I have no family.left.in Nigeria

So what are you doing on this 'Nigeria Forum'. Can you face your country before you turn to a pillar of salt.
