Previously, I had a liking for Real Madrid and Man United. Real Madrid because of the galacticos - Zidane, Ronaldo R9, Figo, Carlos etc. ManU because of Beckham only. I remember watching the UCL match between both sides before Beckham made the switch, then I couldn't choose whom to support.

Nevertheless, in 2004/05 season, I started liking Benitez as a coach. Following the underdog triumphs of Liverpool over Bayern and several other big teams, the Steven Gerald 's drive in the midfield I had no other reason than to support them in the UCL final against Milan at Istanbul. Three goals down in the first half was a reality check but the remontadad that followed in the second half cemented my love for Liverpool.

YNWA!

Honourable mention, I support Enugu Rangers! In a match between Rangers and Liverpool, I will stand by Rangers irrespective of the result.

Kanu cannot play in a 4-3-3 formation as a winger; he is best suited as an RCF, maybe as an out and out CF but not ST. Yekini and Osihmen can play together in a 4-4-2 not in 4-3-3. What happened to having wingers like Amuneke, Siasia, Tijani, Finidi and Obafemi Martins?

In the midfield, playing Mikel as a single pivot cannot work in either 4-3-3 or 4-4-2; it's best to play Mikel and Oliseh as a double pivot in 4-3-3 or 4-5-1. Okocha, yes can always be in the AM position. Daniel Amokachi, Mutiu Adepoju, Ndidi, Okocha Snr are honourablke mentions.

In the defence, where is Uche Okechukwu? Keshi and Okechukwu as CBs would work. Babayaro and Taiwo as RB and LB respectively. Not forgetting Yobo, Uche Okafor, Ben Iroha.

Victor Enyema is undisputable!

Correct!

emmy512:
Them get charms for most governors office.
They just want him to enter there make e start to face some challenges,

Oti understand that one which is why he won't stay there.

The stories u hear about governors going to appease one deity especially in the south are not false, if you don't someone else will do om your behalf

Go to Fouani and purchase their "original".

helinues:
Thanks for the revelation. The Lagos state government will act on it.

Hope there won't be foul crying later sha

Whatever?

Is it only the US that's see the Chinese and Russian destroyers in the region?

Why can't Canada mount important defenses up there?

Another airstrike loading!

The sunken boat speaking!

Gudiza:
Rwanda is FAR LESS than Niger State in landmass but nonetheless, Balablue can't shine that mans shoes!

While the other guy as usual is a shameless tool no surprises, I will be utterly dissapointed if that were Kagame in deed.
HE CAN NEVER STOOP AS LOWLY/MORALLY DEBASED as the characters produced as Nigerian presidents...
Whatever happened to Africans taking care of their own problems on the continent of Africa?

Yes, here's a comparison of approximate landmasses:
Niger State (Nigeria): Around 29,484 mi² (76,363 km²) – Nigeria's largest state by area.
Oyo State (Nigeria): Around 10,986 mi² (28,454 km²) – A large Nigerian state, bigger than Rwanda.
Rwanda (Country): Approximately 10,169 mi² (26,338 km²) – A smaller, densely populated country in East Africa.

What i meant is that our governors should be playing at that level of taking pictures with P Kagame not Tinubu.

Let them post the original.

Rwanda that is the same size as Niger State.

Paul Kagame should be taking pictures with our Governors.

The following are the GDP estimates and targets for the requested regions as of 2026:
Lagos State: Reached a GDP (PPP) of $259.75 billion in 2025, solidifying its status as Africa's second-largest city economy.
Rivers State: Reported a nominal GDP of over $28.4 billion. Its 2026 budget of ₦1.8 trillion was approved in January 2026 to further drive this growth.
Kano State: Official sub-national figures from late 2025 recorded its GDP at ₦16.8 trillion (approximately $11.6 billion at early 2026 exchange rates).
Anambra State: Estimated at approximately $12.73 billion (nominal).
Abuja (FCT): Estimated GDP is approximately $5.39 billion (nominal), though it ranks second in internally generated revenue (IGR) after Lagos.
Enugu State: Currently estimated at $4.4 billion, the state government has passed a ₦1.62 trillion 2026 budget specifically designed to transition the state toward a $30 billion economy within eight years.
Rwanda: Its nominal GDP of roughly $15 billion is often compared to Rivers State's economic output.

Seriously, if this scales through, as a player I will be conflicted to play for super Eagles.

Well, Denmark won European Nations Cup in 1992 despite not qualifying originally. Whom am I to be concerned.

Salewa97:
Peter Obi should be consistent.

In one of his previous tweets, he said he would only respond to issues that are important.

Is this important?

Approximately 40% of your population is unemployed. Isn't that worrisome? Isn't that important.

If the working age folks are unemployed, then chaos is next.

Spot the difference!

Black Kite (Milvus migrans) - it's a scavenger - potentially dangerous to eat.

get a bee specialist to locate the queen move her to a new location, then the rest will follow the queen.

Bitterness is disease.

Obasanjo never empowered the youth? OBJ had ministers less than 40 years. During his tenure Tuesday and Thursday Guardian, Wednesday Thisday newspapers were filled with job adverts. Naijahotjobs had lots of adverts. Nairaland job section had lots of adverts. He encouraged farming by providing incentives. He got debt forgiveness from IMF and World Bank; this, removing burdensome loans on the future generation. Lots of scholarships.

Look how we have fallen! Laptop dogs working for 30k a month to bad-mouth labours of our heroes past.

Saturnalia:
Yes, bad mouth that keeps getting him into trouble.

He should thank his stars that Ayo Fayose did not smash his coconut head with the microphone.

How can you collect somebody’s $20,000 and still attend his birthday just to insult him after orchestrating his removal from office decades earlier?

You think I would forgive him too if I was in Fayose’s shoes? His holier-than-thou attitude is what always piss me off.

From 1999 till 2007, he was blind to all the problems bedeviling Nigeria. He introduced Ghana-Must-Go Politics to the National Assembly, not to talk of the $16 Billion he & Atiku siphoned on Electricity.

He never empowered any youth, and sought to rule Nigeria for a third term thinking he was presiding over docile citizens of Uganda, Guinea, Burundi, Gabon, Rwanda & Cameroon, only for him to start acting like a messiah after leaving office.

For 8 Years, He left the Sango-Ota-Abeokuta Express Way in a deplorable state while writing nonsensical letters up & down just to stay relevant, and the scandal of sleeping with Mojisola (Gbenga - his son’s wife) is still there. I do not respect him for anything.

MURIC has been silent for weeks now.

We? Not we please.

The folks who need to apologize know who they are.

steeltrust:
We laughed at her

Made memes.

Turned her videos into jokes.

But that woman was crying like a mother.

A mother of a nation watching her children being kidnapped

she was questioning people who wanted to destabilize the government.

At the time, we didn't get.

Now we are seeing the worst.

Now we understand what she was trying to protect.

Now we see that her tears were not politics.

she was afraid.

Her and Jonathan wanted peace

And when the choice came between pride and bloodshed, they chose peace

now, it is clear.

We misjudged her.

We mocked a woman who was fighting for stability.

No political victory is worth a Nigerian life.

Cc: Facebook

So Fayose = Governor Amuneke

OBJ didn't mice words

SisterAnn:
Hahaha 😃

He went down memory lane, reminding fayose and all present how fayose rented chickens for the state poultry project. 😃

But what did OBJ say at the birthday?

dominiique:
So FIFA added 16 extra slots and didn't give Europe any, now I understand Gatusso's frustrations. Anyways, you snooze you lose! Good luck to them at the playoffs

UEFA (54 federations) increased from 13 (10 group winners, 3 UEFA play-offs) to 16 (12 group winners, 4 UEFA play-offs)
CAF (54 federations) increased from 5 (group winners ) to 9.25 (9 group winners, 1 multiple CAF and inter-confederation play-offs)


Gattuso is just out of touch.

if CAF and UEFA organize a joint world cup qualification tournament, there is no way CAF will not get 10 slots.

These folks have the capacity to sacrifice themselves for a future cause. A few can agree to be killed just to create some laxity amongst the ordinary people - these are just camouflage warfare. Until they destroy themselves entirely, we should not be relaxed or satisfied.

OLABAMIJI99:
We need to apologise to each other and divide this country along religious lines,, Enough of this tension, suspicion and bloodshed..


We need to respect each other and work together

This map has a lot of problems. 1. North-north (muslim north). 2. Middle Belt (excluding part willing to mix with Igbos or Yorubas. 3. West (SW + Yoruba middlebelt and affilates) 4. East (SE + Akwa-Cross + Igbos in NC + Igbos in SS + other ND tribes willing to align) 5. South-south (Edo + Ijaw + other willing ND tribes)

You didn't read the letter.

If truly the rehablitation is all, how come only muslims homes and mosques were rebuilt. Read the letter first.

Abdul05:
Boko haram don't serve God, they serve chaos

These are not just victims of insurgency--- they are family persecuted for their faith, Forgotten in their own land .

yet our military still crawls like snail..

The tears in Gwoza are the same tears shed in mosques after every bomb. We demand justice for all victims,

No more selective sympathy....our unity is our weapon against terror.

Why the downgrade?

It should be president to president.

othermen:
Gumi is a person of interest.

concern

Joy in me.

For the first time, the oppressors are running helter skelter. If truly this government is doing the right thing with equity, then there would be no reason to be worried.

Tinubu, Buhari and co ran to Obama to frustrate GEJ. They imported terrorists into this country to win elections. Everything they accused GEJ, they have done worse - 10 times over. Naira is now over 10 times what it was 2010. Insecurity has increased, imagine avoiding travelling because of kidnapping. MB people being murdered daily. Unknown gunmen increased in SE and parts of SS. Biafra agitation was mainly peaceful demonstrations. (Why would able young men take up arms, when they have prospects). Farmers cannot cultivate in peace. Companies shutting down and moving away from Nigeria. Price of foodstuffs have skyrocketed. The leadership in this country is filled with mostly incompetent folks (agberos and looters). Politicians changing to APC - one party state. Is this not witchcraft?

I pity the governors that ported to APC.

I guess this reset is necessary.

But Tinubu and co did the same to Nigeria during GEJ term. Let the truth be revealed.

true talk

Sometimes i think the upgrades are just for show. Soon 5G will be crawling as well.

Could you point to tax section for remote workers in Nigeria?
