Politics › Re: Wike’s Son Jordan Dragged To EFCC Over Alleged $2.1 Million Land Deal by Reference(m): 9:09am On Oct 20
ExudeLoveToAll:
The dude told them to bring cash and the idiots don't even have video evidence if the transaction even if it is taken covertly, very bad of them.

The dude was even denying he has never met them in his lifetime grin, a simple video evidence would have crush all his testimonies in court.
Corruption does not allow the brain work properly, that is the problem. Your head is filled with greed and you throw caution to the wind.

If it was a proper deal you will definitely have all your Tees crossed.
Foreign Affairs › Re: South Africans Celebrate Over 500 Days Of No Electricity Blackout by Reference(m): 7:43am On Oct 20
Different mindset.
Here we repair a sixty year old bridge and adorn it with posters of the President as a national achievement....just different mentality.
Politics › Re: FG Will Introduce Fuel Tax When Economy Stabilises, Income Improves - Oyedele by Reference(m): 6:17am On Oct 20
At least we all know where they are headed so it is up to the Nigerian to decide between now and election time whether to be fodder for more white elephants or to be free to chart his or her own course. Nigeria is absolutely predictable. Greed just cannot hide.
Politics › Re: If Buhari As General Couldn't End Insecurity, Don't Expect Tinubu To – Yari by Reference(m): 10:10pm On Oct 19
I think I have told you.
That to expect any significant improvement in the standards of living and the quality of life as a Nigerian living in Nigeria under this government is just wishful thinking.

They have delivered ALL THEY CAN as a government. Mr. Yari is just preparing your minds to face that fact. Second terms you have been told severally is 'for them'. To settle scores, reward loyalty and build political egg nests.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Lev Stupnikov: Russian Soldier Helped Ukraine Kill Hundreds Of Russian Soldiers by Reference(m):
That is a terrible thing to do as a soldier.
It is one thing to betray your country, another to betray your Commander-in-Chief.....but to betray your comrades in arms and by that have them killed is just terrible. It is inexcusable and outright evil.

Because not everyone who died by your hands believed in the cause of the war. Some may have been too scared or i'll opportuned to defect or desert and now you have had them killed. What if someone else did the same thing before you made up your mind and you were dead as a result....

Better hide because at some point your new hosts will grow suspicious of you as a dangerous turn-coat. Who knows, you might even be a mole in the Ukrainian ranks....a costly double agent that has used blood sacrifice to penetrate deep into the Ukrainian security and military infrastructure.
Sports › Re: The Most Valuable Clubs Across Every Continent. (Photos) by Reference(m): 9:31pm On Oct 19
bikefab:
Unfortunately despite the wide claims of being the giant of Africa, no Nigerian club made the list. Is the giant in a slumber?
Our dwelling in the doldrums, our failure to grow and develop manifests in many ways including this, so that doubters and so called patriots can visualize just how backward this country is and has become. How we are sprinting fir the basement with all.glee.

When will this country ever wake up to the dawning of greatness.
Sports › Re: The Most Valuable Clubs Across Every Continent. (Photos) by Reference(m): 9:26pm On Oct 19
What about East Asia, and the great clubs of the J-league and J-league.
Business › Re: Opay Loan Losses: $113m Written Off, But Did Nigerians Refuse To Pay? by Reference(m): 9:20pm On Oct 19
Nigeria badly, badly, badly needs a legit credit rating agency to put a leash on this pandemic of debt. Like government, like citizen, highly irresponsible entities.
Politics › Re: Stop Sending Money Home Until Tinubu's Ouster— Obi Tells Nigerians In UK by Reference(m):
What kind of crass talk is that.
Does it include those who don't want anything to do with politics and politicians....who just want to live a decent, quiet life, free of government and it's serial failures....

When the politician goes beyond normal reasoning and wants to control your life via your pocket and how you manage your resources know that the chains of slavery are well and truly real.
Politics › Re: Ministry Of Finance Debunks World Bank's Records On Debts by Reference(m): 12:06pm On Oct 19
Obaofaba:
But Okonjo Iweala warned us in the same 2014 to brace up for hard time coming ahead because the government she was part of at the time had morgaged our future

The result is what is playing out now
So why can't this government stop 'mortgaging' by placing a moratorium on debt so that it too can live within its means....

If a government that left almost twelve years ago is to be blamed for everything or where we are today, what has this party that has been in government ever since then been able to do apart from making it worse.

Does it look to you that this government is fiscally responsible....the only thing it has cut down is social services, every other burden on the public is full steam ahead, has multiplied several times over.
Crime › Re: Eight Soldiers Killed As ISWAP Landmine Hits Army Patrol Vehicle In Borno by Reference(m): 10:54am On Oct 19
A nation that cannot solve it's problems but comtinues.to accept the decay because of sentiment instead of getting the right people.rhat know how to find solution to things.

What more can I say other than RIP today and RIP in advance for the next few days to come. Such has been the 20 year old experience.
Politics › Re: Gbenga Hashim Will Get 6 Million Votes From The North West - Supporters by Reference(m): 10:02am On Oct 19
delpee:
What major leadership role has the man played in the public or private sector by which we can reasonably assess his skills and performance?
Are you not tired of establishment people that cannot see beyond the status quo, recycled people that have ruined his country....

Can't you see that the trajectory of Nigeria requires brand new ways and means to get out of the rut.

This is almost four years of this administration and all the achievement is talk. What will make the eight years any better...

And by the way, all qualitative leadership needs to have is a listening ear and a responsive disposition towards the people to succeed. Democracy works well when all of us make the decisions, leadership only summarizes and implements on our behalf. That is proper government. Everything is open for debate, every move is voted for.

If in your little business all your employees are yes men and women, you will not make progress. That is the bane of the Nigerian society. That Mr President knows it all.
Food › Re: Roadside Food Is Getting Smaller And Nigerians Are Paying More For It by Reference(m): 7:48am On Oct 19
If you cannot prevail on your government to fight inflation them just enjoy your poverty in peace. Complaining is not a strategy to a better life. If any business owner is not getting appropriate returns from his management team, he either sacks them all or closes down the business.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Zelenskyy Doesn't Want The War To End - Trump by Reference(m): 6:29am On Oct 19
Kobojunkie:
Curiously, Ukraine is not targeting the LNG Pipelines that sell billions of dollars of energy to much of Europe, including France. 😒😒

Anyways, we all know Zelensky lied! The war in Iran and the Houthi-Saudi issue impact the price of oil. It is Zelensky's attack on diesel facilities in Russia, which supply approximately 25% of the world's diesel supply, that is to blame for the issue with diesel costs.
But it is also diesel that tanks, missile carriers, troop transporters and logistics trucking uses. Moreover the war, the defence of Ukraine is not in his hands alone. If his country wanted another way out they will have removed him as leader.

It is just a pity that the world has chosen to fight and die over negotiations towards peace with scant considerations for the innocent and vulnerable.

And like I will always say about these matters out of an abundance of historical evidence, most of the things people fight for, fight over, and die needlessly because will still invariably happen.

Just two brief examples.
Jerusalem still fell to the Muslim invaders despite the terrible wars of the Crusades.

Germany's anger over reparations demanded from the rest of Europe together with stiff sanctions on its defence after world war one opened the door for Hitler and world war two. After the second war, rather than let Germany rot Europe and the US decided to rebuild it, to stabilize and prosper it. What they should have done the first time. Today Germany is the largest economy in Europe, was once the fourth largest in the world by negotiations, not war and today is the biggest backer of Ukraine.

Tomorrow despite it all, Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, the Islamic revolution will crumble and Iran will become a democracy, Putin will be gone, democracy restored to Russia and those territories annexed will hold referendums on what country to belong to and by any chance if Ukraine is a better deal, will return by themselves.

Such is he way of the world, needless tragedies for things that will invariably happen after the facts.

omooba969:
Unless you reckon with my comment.
I do.
It is Premier League tradition.
Teams figure other teams out. That is why tactics have to evolve together with the right players to execute them.

I am not too sure Arteta is evolving enough to stay ahead. The struggles early in the season is a warning signal.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal (0 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 6:19pm On Oct 18
I think Arteta should play Merino a bit more. Give him a run of half a dozen games or so to freshen up the team play. It has become too one dimensional and teams are beginning to figure out the forward play.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal (0 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 6:15pm On Oct 18
omooba969:
I hope you know that most teams set themselves up differently when they're playing Arsenal, it's called 'low block'. This style impacts on a free flow football.

Do you understand? cool
Your team cannot go throughout the season playing like this. "One to the Arsenal" is 90's football.... grin

Do City look like dropping points with the imperious way they play.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal (0 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 6:11pm On Oct 18
Arsenal scores....the Gunners escape... grin

What do you understand by the phrase 'fallen off' or did I write in Italian..
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal (0 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 5:51pm On Oct 18
Arsenal is really poor today and average over the season so far. In this form they will not defend their crown and come no where near the Champions league final. Their okay is just too slow and tedious.,.over complicated.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Nottingham Forest Vs Arsenal (0 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 5:21pm On Oct 18
Eze's game is not working at all in the Gunners team play. Form has fallen off from last season.

Good one from Saka aka low budget Lamine Yamal.... grin

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Leeds Vs Manchester United (1 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 4:05pm On Oct 18
So it is only Ipswich United can defeat in the Premiership....how the mighty have been humbled. The Ferguson era is long forgotten. A generation of soccer fans will soon look at United the same way we used to look at Nothingham Forest, Hamburg and Sampdoria.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Leeds Vs Manchester United (1 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 3:55pm On Oct 18
They both say down at Mama Put to chow to order for swallow and a dish of delicious draw soup....story of the Red Devils so far this season.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Leeds Vs Manchester United (1 - 1) On 18th October 2026 by Reference(m): 3:43pm On Oct 18
Just so sorry for Bruno Fernandez. Great player in United, but at the wrong-est period in their history. Whether that makes him a club legend is a debate for another day.
Politics › Re: Why Shettima Insults Atiku- Farooq Kperogi by Reference(m): 12:27pm On Oct 18
I don't see how all.this benefits the average Nigeria who just wants to live a decent life free of anything called government that adds no practical value to it.
Agriculture › Re: What Are They Doing To Our Fruits? (picture) by Reference(m): 7:34pm On Oct 17
It has to do with the season.
You know citrus fruits require plenty of sunlight to convert the glucose in the tree into sucrose for the fruits. And as you know we have just gone through our own 'winter', that is rainy/cloudy season in the tropics. You won't get tasty oranges now.

When they leave your rally with the stipends you bribe them with, they return home to fave the realities of hunger, sickness and near destitution.

Why are trying to headbutt a player when you are in the lead....
At what point will Liverpool start expecting title winning performances. Because right now they are well off top four pace.

Barcola, good winger, poor striker, little composure.
