From Ikorodu to the world, she didn’t just play — she changed the game. An icon. A trailblazer. The Greatest African Female Footballer of All Time.
Greater than Tinubu. This lady should have been the President of Nigeria.
Penguin2: After Datti’s appearance at Julius Abure’s NEC meeting, some people swore that Datti had left Peter Obi and has declared his intention to run for president and abandon Obi. We laughed.
Well, yesterday, Peter Obi visited Datti (LP), Elrufai (ADC) and Babaginda Aliyu (PDP) in Abuja.
I like Obi’s recent multi-pronged political chess moves.
Tinubu for work with Obi to secure the south but instead him dey fight am. 2027 go shock am
Bigchris01: Why would they always focus on Nigerians workers in the UK? Are we the only foreign nationals working over there? If they want to stop the visa it shouldn’t be applicable to those who are already working they should stop allowing others to come on low skilled jobs instead of trying to deport the ones that are already working
These are new rules for every foreigner not just Nigerians but the op will make it look like it's only Nigerians.
One of the things I've noticed about nairaland is the manner in which some individuals rush to open threads despite having limited information about a lot of things especially news regarding the UK and Nigerians because a lot of people have cultivated this unknown hatred for fellow Nigerians who already left Nigeria I.e living in the UK.
Nobody is risking any deportation. Yes, it's true that lots of changes have been made but these changes provides loads of opportunities if you know your way in the UK and the smart ones are already finding their ways.
Few days before the 22nd of July which is the day the new rules took effect, lots of NHS Trusts sent out certificates of sponsorship to their employees both old and new including those who might need it and are Bank staff. I know a lot of them. In fact, a close friend got an offer on the 21st of July with sponsorship.
The only challenge is just the salary threshold thing which has been increased but like I said, if you know your ways it's just an opportunity for greater things but these people will come here and create topics just to show the gullible ones that those in the UK are going through this and that and they will all jump in to comment. Look at the kinds of comments that are being dropped here, it's mind blowing and baffling.
Sometime last year, I came across a similar topic here and I took my time to explain to someone how as a student in the UK who worked 20hrs a week I was able to save a lot of money, he was shocked because there are lots of things people don't know about until you meet the right people and you find yourself in the right environment.
Please, you people should do better. If you must create topics like these, also invest same amount of time you invested in writing things like these to write about the opportunities as well.
Parydelegate: Congratulations to them. The guy na sharp shooter, he hit the ground running positively from day one unlike some people. Also, the lady na fertile ground.
Wishing her safe delivery.
We are waiting for Peller & Jarvis
Some of una go just dey open mouth dey talk wa wa wa! What do you mean by unlike some people? I no know wetin dey worry some of una wey dey call una selves adults.
A former political adviser to President Bola Tinubu, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said like his predecessor, Tinubu wanted to be Nigeria's President only for personal reasons and not because they intend to govern the nation.
Oga Heli, come and see your mentor ooooh. Him former Adviser don open him nyash
Gabriela Salgado is a South African player that was seriously injured during the match between Nigeria and South Africa. Nigerian fans began chanting her name.
helinues: If there are development projects done by Peter Obi when he was Anambra state governor and still existing, why are his supporters not circulating that instead of food serving abi na Sharing
Penguin2: When the pictures of Peter Obi serving food at an event center in Owerri surfaced online, there’s nothing his traducers did not say about him.
Some accused him of hypocrisy, and of not being different from everyday Nigerian politician who eats corn on the road and fries Akara just because they are looking for votes.
But is that who Peter Obi is?
Well, the below pictures will answer that question. As can be seen in the pictures, Peter Obi was captured on two different occasions serving food while he was sitting governor.
Those of who support him know that we are supporting a character who has not only been consistent in his way of life, but also has an unimpeachable character unmatched by any politician alive in Nigeria today.
I hope say Wike don see this picture likewise Helinues & Co. You cannot bring down a man that God has made. You can only try but you will never succeed. If you like write ill things about Peter Obi, Obi is Obi and will remain Obi.
Whois: You self you notice am. The hustle is real. Na him 12th topic to demarket Peter Obi after the coalition be this. I have a gift for him if he can meet 25th topic before end of August
helinues: Politically amongnst the Nigeria politicians, Peter Obi don't have level. He has no loyal friends or supporters who have been in the game of politics for a while . He has no big politicians to bring on board
Financially, Peter Obi is too stingy to fund any political party
Lastly, The Obidients, Peter Obi's supporters. Majority of them are
- Online keyboard warriors - Don't have Voters card or interested in voting - Reside outside Nigeria hence not eligible to vote in the Nigeria election - Obidients would rather send new people away from their camp with their approach of marketing their candidate .
Summary: Both Peter Obi and his supporters are liabilities to ADC coalition or any party they associate with
The worst EFCC Chairman ever. This government just carry incompetent men full government. It's as though corruption is fighting Nigeria and they are all relaxed. All they do is come on live TV everyday to blab.
TruthHurts1: So, let's crunch some numbers: Muhammed Babangida is 53 years old.
When the EFCC questioned him in 2006, he was 34 years old.
When Globacom was launched in 2003 with a share capital of $1.5 billion, the then 31 year old Muhammed Babangida was able to acquire 24% of its shares which amounts to $360,000,000.
Mike Adenuga confirmed to the EFCC that Muhammed Babangida owned 24% of Globacom shares.
So how was a 31 year old Muhammed able to raise $360, 000, 000 and why did the EFCC suddenly drop the case against him and refuse to investigate it any further?
Na wetin make I dey hustle ooooh. E no go bad if my son acquire his at the age of 25.
I no dey envy those people at all. My own na to work hard.
TruthHurts1: The Senate on Tuesday approved President Bola Tinubu’s 2025–2026 External Borrowing (Rolling) Plan, which includes requests to borrow $21.8 billion, €2.1 billion, and ¥15 billion, as well as a €65 million grant, to finance key projects and programmes across various sectors of the economy.
In addition, the Senate approved the issuance of a ₦757.98 billion Federal Government bond in the domestic market to offset outstanding pension liabilities under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).
Also approved was the President’s request to raise to $2 billion in the domestic market through a Foreign Currency-Denominated Instrument Local Issuance Programme—a novel initiative backed by Presidential Executive Order No. 16 of 2023, which empowers the Debt Management Office (DMO) to access dollar liquidity within the country without exerting additional pressure on foreign reserves.
These approvals followed the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts, chaired by Senator Aliyu Wamakko.
Despite the approvals, debate on the floor was tense. Some lawmakers expressed strong reservations about the sustainability of Nigeria’s mounting debt load.
Senator Abdul Ningi was among those who opposed the motion, warning: “Generations after us will continue to pay these loans. I’ve gone through the documents and cannot find a clear repayment plan.”
However, other senators, including Adetokunbo Abiru and Finance Committee Chairman Sani Musa, defended the proposals, describing the loan terms as flexible and growth-oriented.
Tinubu submitted the borrowing requests on May 27, emphasising the need to support critical projects in infrastructure, health, education, water supply, and other strategic areas.
The decision comes at a time when Nigeria’s total public debt stock has surpassed ₦121 trillion, with external debts exceeding $43 billion as of mid-2024. Debt servicing now consumes more than 90 per cent of federal revenue, prompting sharp criticism from economists and civil society groups.
“This is a country living on credit,” an opposition lawmaker told journalists. “People are suffering from inflation and joblessness while the government continues to dig deeper into debt.”
Still, supporters argue that the borrowing plan is different from past patterns.
“This isn’t reckless borrowing,” a committee member stated. “It’s a strategic investment to stimulate jobs, growth, and foreign exchange inflows.”
The approved loans and bond issuances are reportedly ring-fenced for high-impact, high-return projects across power, transport, the digital economy, and social sectors, subject to appropriation by the National Assembly.
A significant portion of the domestic bond—₦757.98 billion—is earmarked for the settlement of longstanding pension arrears. The move is expected to bring relief to thousands of retirees still awaiting full payment of their entitlements.
The DMO is expected to float the bond locally, reducing exposure to external risk. However, analysts caution that the government must ensure transparency and fiscal discipline in its execution.
This provides some short-term fiscal space, but if the investments don’t yield quick, measurable returns, we’re simply deepening the debt trap.
Tuesday’s approvals give the Tinubu administration the green light to broaden its fiscal reach. But the pressure is now on for results. For ordinary Nigerians facing inflation, currency instability, and subsidy removals, the biggest question remains: Will this borrowing bring real relief, or more hardship?
