EducationRe: Bandits Release New Videos Of Kidnapped Oyo Teachers After 14 Days In Captivity by Sapeleomi: 3:21pm On May 29
I understand how you feel.

But what is the protest goiing to achieve? .

The bandits are nigerias or at least human like us, who have dedicated their lifes to kidnap people for monies.

How do u deal with wicked people who wake up every day to kill, kidnap and harm others?

There next victims could be you, me or someone we know.

Is clear that the government, security agencies cannot secure the forest, hideouts and localities bandits decide to lay arms.

We all need to discuss a long term plan, and proffer preventative solution to either avoid kidnapping or mitigate the profit of banditry.

Let start first, do you know all the forest in your community? Do you know the exit and extrance? How do you detect strangers that may intend harm? Are there any schools in your community unfenced and near a forest or ungoverned space? Have you alerted your local chairman or the goverment institutiin to prevent any potential invasion?

We should be vigilant of one another and not collude with others for money to encourage kidnapping.
From the records of past kidnaps.
Thoug painful!!

Most captives were released by the around 38 to 185 days in captivity.

Negotiation is ongoing.

The worrying thing is that if those guys are not all eliminated. They move to another community nearby and strike again.

The long term solution is to secure ungoverned forest in your states...

Las las, We shall overcome bandits and their sponsors.

zeuss:
We need to react ryt now through protest and civil disobedience. It could be any Nigerian in the hands of Fulani terrorist.
If this happened in civil world there would be a suspension of normal daily life

________________________________________________
HI,

I have read your response. I think we must critically appraise some of our practices so that we get better. I believe the author raised a valid question that believers must ponder about..Does religious practices/beliefs in any ramification address any of the problems in our dear nation? For example:

1. Poverty.
2. Corruption.
3, Lack of development.
4. Stagnant mindset.
5. Limitation in problem solving and creativity.
6. Limits reason and seemed to encourage
magical thinking, miracles and superstition.
7. Competency?
8. Leadership, accountability and a clear
vision.
9. Critical thinking and outcome based on
knowledge.
No doubt the values or morals contained in any religious books be it Christianity, Islam, Judaims, Hinduism or school of thought such
as Buddha as its place.

However, the reality is that history shows that
empires from the past such as the Abbysinnia
, Egypt, Greece, Roman, Ottoman, persia
empires were renowned becase their
civilisation and influenve wete based on
knowledge.

Currently, the most developed countries with
better economics are based on knowledge..
Science, Technology and Mathematics.
The bottom line is that knowledge is superior
than faith. Religious beliefs or doctrine should not only be limited to scriptures or historic literature of the past.
As a nation we all need to spend more time on acquiring skills that can solve our present challenges, gained technological advancement
to reduce poverty.
Personally, as a nation deluded by religions
doctrine we waste a signifiant amount of time
on Fridays and sundays praying to some
imaginary being for divine intervention to solve all our problems such mindset is not forward thinking. The Gospel and the salvation of Jesus should be a source of moral guidance.
However, personal responsibilty and awareness of problem solving must be a norm.
Imagine. If the time or hours millions of
faithfuls spend in religions places on fridays and sundays where used in a farm or to acquire some type of skills it will be productive
collectively.
You can still be a morally upright and be functional member of society without
religions indoctrination.
No modern progressive country in this
current time appoints or elect leaders solely
based on their religious indoctrinations.
For nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as a people to develop and grow we must value
knowledge and competence and encourage
people who have qualities to lead in every
areas of our institutions.
Religion doctrines, programmes, and fanatism is not the remedy for the current challenges of this days. The prophesy and preaching of
moses, Jesus, st paul, Mohammed are helpful about the past but the future requires a different stratedy based on knowledge.

Please note spiritiality differs from religion.
God gives knowledge, understanding and wisdom. We must move ahead with knowledge like any develop country and leave behind ignorance and backward doctrines.
PoliticsRe: Churches & Mosques Everywhere Yet Nigeria Culture Is That Of Corruption & Fraud by Sapeleomi: 11:28am On Oct 20, 2024
sreamsense:
Church and mosques are adding their own moral quota values to the society. Show us what moral values quota you are adding than complaining and complaint as if you are only born to complain in life? Those of you who are poor materially and mentally are always the ones to come online to talk rubbish without any physical impact to society you are making than complaint. Rich men are uncountable in churches and morally balance without making noise. Davido's father despite his riches never used his position to bad mouthed churches and mosques. It is only people like you that is not only poor materially, but mentally that always rush to social media to talk rubbish.

If your father or mother never benefited from morality taught in churches and mosques, there is a chance your pregnancy would have been terminated without either of them feeling remorseful. If there are no churches and mosques trying to do their best to increase moral values in the society, do you think you can enjoy life without them? Majority of people living morally today were once harden criminals and bad guys that would have injured you if they were not picked up to have changed of life.

Morality will keep increasing as Jesus prophesied at the end time in matheu 24, "... Sin shall multiplied..", everybody will be lovers of themselves...Wheather churches or mosques increase or not, Jesus prophesy will come to pass. Sin has already multiplied, but as population increases, it is better to keep having more good churches even close to your house with aim of reducing negative impact of increasing sins in the society which indirectly protect you from those that would have been more dangerous towards you but captured by church.

No church or mosque will tell you go and be corrupt, but if you are determined to get corrupt; it your decision and not the church responsibility to monitor your mind in your closest. If church remove all their moral people away from earth or instructed to back to their past ways before they encountered Jesus; you can not survive in the world that will be left for you to leave. Focus your energy on your government, churches and mosques are not your problem.

PoliticsRe: FG Fails To Pay Allocations Directly To LG Accounts Months After Court Judgement by Sapeleomi: 8:56am On Oct 19, 2024
Man102:
Source : https://politicsnigeria.com/fg-fails-to-pay-allocations-directly-to-lg-accounts-months-after-supreme-court-ruling/
_________----_-___________________------____________

This report seems a bit premature. If the Supreme Court judgement was declared July 2024 and the federal government gave a 3 month deadline for issues to be sorted before direct payment into local government account.
It follows that the 3 months as not elapsed as at September, when the FAAC Payment was made",
Secondly, 3 months from July should end in October 2024.

The report does not give any indication when the 3 months grace period was offered by the Federal government? The reporter missed out some crucial information. For example, the statement from the govrt could have been after July when the supreme Court judgement was made.

Besides, not all states in the federation has completed or conducted local government election yet as directed by the Court.. Some states are due for elections in November 2024.

People live in local areas and therefore development must start from grassroot.

People who resides in local government areas know their needs and are better placed to decide and direct the needed development and infrastructure.

It creates accountability as the leaders are not detached from the people..A local government chairman that fails to fix a dilapilated school knows the day the roof collapses and causes a casualty, the local mob will be marching to his house to remonstrate. .

I believe the autonomy of the local govts is key for accountability, which drives development, competence, transparency and mitigates the tyranny of nepotism and Godfatherism.

When you begin to pay tax legitimately you will ensure that an incompetent family member, religious or political associates does not occupy a position of influence and power that ruins your interest and affairs.

If every Nigerian was accountable, corruption and incompetence will not be an abstract spirit that cannot be address.

Corruption is created and practiced by people. Punish people for their corrupt practices and you mitigate corruption and lack of development.

Development starts from the local level. Anything that improves governance and self automomy empowers and impacts the graasroor directly.

Local government elections and financial autonomy would no doubt be a mess in the next/first 4 or 6 years.. However, it would eventually come true when it becomes competitive and out of the powers of the state Governors as local government aspirants will be able to lobby for votes on their sef credentials and personal integrity.

Slowly and surely we will develop our infrastructure and local government chairman runs its budgets, finds creative ways to generate revenue either by tax or value creation and then uses the income to build local infrastructure such as roads, schools, hopital, farms, youth and sport centres and then specialised on a particular area of advantage. For example, a local government in Delta state seems able to attract females into athletics.

I hope as a nation will grow from the local level up!!!!

PoliticsRe: Don’t Mislead Nigerians’ – Dangote Denies Selling Fuel To NNPCL At N898/litre by Sapeleomi: 11:09pm On Sep 15, 2024
[quote author=ALTERNATEID post=132018661]So, how much did you sell the product to NNPC? I can’t see the actual price in the press statement. Again, I call on Dangote to come out clean. The presidential committee is not the one producing for you. Tell Nigerians directly how much you’re currently selling to NNPC based on the crude you bought in dollars. [/quote

Oga, dangote does not have to explain to anybody.. It is a business entity and the curent crude used for the PMS supplied today were bought abroad.with forex.
Perhaps after the 1 october2024, when NNPC begins to supply crude to Dangote, the price will be discussed, agreed and disclosed.
Besides, dangote can only supply 40 to 45 percent to the nigeria market based on the crude oil supplied by NNPC. So for the business to make profit it must sale at international level.. I guess we should expect to buy about 960 naira pet litre for the next 6months and if trully the four refineries are fixed the prices will fall by April or June 2025 to under 900 naira.

Is a free market now.. More investors free to buy the remsining four refineries, fix them and dominant the market in those regions South south and north west.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Become Less Religious When They Travel Abroad? by Sapeleomi:
adecz:
grin


✝️✝️✝️☪️☪️☪️🔯🔯🔯
The issue is that, in Nigeria or
third world African countries, the
duties your government, father or
spouse etc are supposed to do, they
fail and instead of holding them responsible
you turn to God to perform the duties
of man.


Abroad, work is readily available for
you, therefore you don't need to write
application letter to take to your pastor
or imam to pray over it, apply anointing
oil and 7 days fasting to beg God to give
you the job.


In Nigeria, If your husband is irresponsible
and refuses to buy food and pay school
fees, you report to your pastor who may
call the husband for counselling and
also you the wife to pray to God to turn
his behavior around.

Abroad, you don't need pastor or God
to beg him. Just report him to authorities
and they will compel him to pay a certain
monthly upkeep to his family. If he fails
for just one day, na prison get am.

Again, abroad, Students seeking university education don't need to pray and fast to for JAMB to answer them, because schools are
everywhere and even if you no get money,
scholarship or students loan is available,
therefore God doesn't come into the
picture.

In fact, too much religiosity is a symptom
of a failed society and hopelessness on
the side of the citizens😢😢😢😢

Any society that is overly religious, you
will find that poverty is serious in such
societies. See Muslim northern Nigeria for
example. They are ready to slaughter and
burn in the name of their prophet, but are
the poorest, disease ridden, illiterate
societies in Nigeria.

See Afghanistan, Niger Republic etc.
Thank you.
We lack problem solving skilks and critical thinking.. Religion and superstitious beliefs gives room to suspicion and blaming others for problems and praying to an unreal or non existent entity to solve problems.
The educational systems focuses on how well you speak a colonised or foreign language as opposed to critical knowledge, innovation and creative thinking.

Just like the period of enlightment in 18th century Europe that deposed the role of religion and the Royal family, who were seen as head/representative of religions organisation. Probing questions are now being asked by this generation directed at politicians and religious leaders.. It is a gradual awakening that competence and knowledge is superior than faith and religious doctrines written over 1500 years ago.. Wasting money on hagg pilgrimage when mimimum wage cannot be paid..

What a mentality?

Also, Israel has good allies. Their allies won't fold their hands while allowing missiles to stress Israeli air defence. They signed a military defence pact and their allies simply honoured it. Why was that a problem?

You are talking about sophistication. You have no idea what you are talking about here. Israel has the best warplane in the world - F35. Israel has the best layered air defence.

Tell me one capability that Iran has which Israel doesn't better.

If Israel counter attack, which I doubt since no significant impact happened and their allies had been telling them to stand down, you will see the number of hits that will be achieved on iranian soil.

The abrahamic religion is native to people in that region and Ziionist from Europe you claimed God promised them a sacred land in Canaan. That believe or assumption whether it is the truth from God or falsificatiom from the Torah remains the bane of conflict and confrontation until today. The war in the middle east would never end..

Neutral. Christianity doesn't support this insane bloodshed. This escalation will lead to large scale destruction of human lives. This could only benefit Satan who needs more souls in hell. A true christian should never support war and bloodshed no matter who is wrong or right. Christ died for both Arab Muslims and the Israeli news. It doesn't matter the religion. When you see anyone jubilating that Israel is killing Palestinians or vice versa then know that such people don't really know Christ.
.

My guy, this assumption about Christ dead to save the world need a critical review? Is this a myth based on supposed supestition given the conflict and dysfunctional behaviour in the world? Please take your time and think about this for a moment.. Slavery stopped a while ago and British, the Roman and Ottoman empire collapsed over a century ago!! It means you are born free and should critically think and choose your beliefs, philosophy and shape your global and political perspective.

The crisis in the middle east no concern any black or african man.. So called african muslims and Christians investing their emotional energy on issues that do not concern them are unfortunately brainwashed!!
Face your own indigenous religion, improve your cultural practice, beliefs and formulate how you wish to treat your fellow african person!!
Is Ironic that despite the fact that the three major abrahamic religion comes from that region, it appears the most chaotic and volatile area on earth.. .To be honest, not sure why Christians assume Jesus or naa Yashua died for the sin of man?. For over 2 thousands years now, humans in that region or generally still engrossed with conflicts, sin and chaos over what God said or promised about land!!
I tire for that region and their religion!!!
The Chinese, Japanese, Singapore, india with a different religion or belief system as well as atheist Europe not keen on religion seemed to be functioning well without these three confused and conflict prone religiion of Judaism, Islam and Christian.
I rather stay as a seeker and live in peace than be a religious follower with so much suspicion and hate.

For someone to send that amount you deem small, are you aware of her living conditions in Canada? Do you know if she's living fine and has no health issues ?
She has not visited Nigeria once and you didn't think that she might be finding it difficult to survive not to talk of footing the bills to visit her family in Nigeria
This just boils down to lack of communication cos she's your sister and you should at least be aware of the happenings in her life
She'll obviously be depressed cos she's single, alone and now her family dey judge her join

Invest or at least take insurance and live within your means.. What's the point having many kids if your and wife cannot provide for them and be responsible for their unkeep.
It is very tough like the case in question for older siblings to train themselves and provide for older parents and then train siblings.
The Op sister, a female living abroad may not be available to go out and date cos of working long hours to meet family demand. It puts financial pressure on marriages/relationship.. Not sure is appealing to any potential suitor if your other half to be is constantly under pressure to provide for her family..and siblings.
I see why abroad people settle down late..
Not married yet look at what the poor lady is subject to..

You all get it wrong. I am not bitching about she not assisting me or my younger ones. I simply was expressing how a woman will feel less obliged to the parents that made sacrifices for her. That's the story here.
.


You know your sister before she left for canada.
I personally appeal to you to try for once to ask her how she is doing? The conversatiin should be about her not demand or burden of naija.

I don't doubt your loyalty and support towards your family.
You alluded to the fact that she left whatapp group because she felt the demand was too much.. That decision she made must have been painful for her to make.
You have not lived abroad. So will respect you don't know how it works.. 60 months is not enough time to settle and l feel you expecting so much from her..
You mentioned her masters was partly paid.
Have you clarified if she has clear her debts and have PR.? Is single, kids or planning to buy a house or settle down?
Please try a different approach/tone when you appeal to her.
If you a younger male sibling talking to older sister.. understand the dynamic as well.
No point coming across as dissapointed with her. You make her feel bad and see herself as useful only for money?
I think you are under pressure yourself and you seek relief.
Be humble enough to tell her that you are struggling and would appreciate her effort.
You threaten her over money you will loose her and create a sense of guilt that because your parents paid her masters then she must provide for the whole family.
There is financial pressure but you must trust your sister enough to think she means well for you and your family..
Talk to her with concern not with expectations.
I wish you the best.
All will be sorted.
FamilyRe: Why I Chose To Distance Myself From A Sibling by Sapeleomi:
CosmicDust:
Here is my story....

I have a 3 siblings and I am at odds with my eldest who is a lady. The way it is, I may never have a conversation with her again.

She was the first person to be invested in by my parents after which I came. Luckily enough, she was able to strike gold in her career and do well for herself. She went abroad for her masters with my parents supporting with half-payment. Unfortunately, whenever it came to family demands and helping the other younger siblings, she has either been negligent or grudgingly does so.

Few years after going abroad, she decided to lockup and sends only 40k home which is supposed to cater for food for a month.
Now parents are retired, the whole family weight falls on my following sibling and I. The youngest one education is on me. Happy she will finish soon. Parents need to be supported in challenging times, one is coping with diabetes and the other is with some challenging issues I can't say here. Their savings are being sapped by their needs to keep living on.

But my so-called elder sister based in Canada despite knowing their condition is silent. She still sends her peanuts, while I and my younger brother who is an upcoming fashion designer do 2X what she does. This aches our parents and sometimes makes our mother cry and our father rant with regret.

A time now came, our mum got admitted in the hospital. Condition was so salient that she had to be hospitalized for weeks. Hospital bill was 450k. The Canada-based first born doing a good job, who was always talking to her, praying with her on phone, etc only sent 100k. We the others did the rest. Glad mum is back at home but her heart is broken and has refused to talk with her. She's been in Canada for 5 years and has refused to even support any of her siblings to come abroad too.

My other siblings say because we all refuse to be dictated to by her is the reason for her behaviour. I don't care. Mine is that if you know that you are going to be useless to a family, let your parents know before hand so the money used in training/feeding you can be used for farming business which will despite bad weather bring returns than on a child who feels is not obligated to support the parents who supported you all through.
____---------------------------------------------------------
Hi bro,
First and foremost. You have to clarify what your sister earns and her expenses.
She has only been in Canada for 60 months and you feel she is okay financially. She may not be. She may be struggling financially, emotionally and trying to settle down to clear debts.
2, Secondly, l assume she would assist you and the family if she is stable herself.
You alluded that she sends money but the issue is that it is too small. She does not owe you and your parents anything!!! Africans feel entitled and see relationship with children or their siblings as transactional. Address poverty and plan your life and stop relying on others.. It will lead to dissapointment. Is clear that you have never lived on your own, pay rent and bills and also suddenly have to set aside money for others during an emergency.
3, As a young person, take life insurance
to protect yourself, that's what many of our parents should do to avoid medical health issues and large bills in older years...Plan your retirement..
4, God forbid, if your sister dies suddenly or loses her job, you will survive and move on with your life.
5, if you want people to do more for you in life. Be grateful for the little and you get more in return. A positive and agreeable attitude gets you more favours in life.
6, l personally feel with your attitude, high demand and unhappiness. You will do your sister a lot of good/favour. If you indeed distance yourself from her.
7, The question you must ask yourself what value do you add to her life? When did you call her and ask about her welfare, her relationship, how she feels? Her relationship, children and her state of mind? You think she is robot or slave sent to Canada to make your life easy!! THINK RIGHT BEFORE YOU RUIN AND LOOSE YOUR SISTER BECAUSE OF SELFISHNESS. I LIKE TO THINK YOUR PARENTS KNOW THEIR DAUGHTER BETTER THAN YOU.
8, Yes, you are assisting with your younger siblings. Do it with love and no bitterness or comparison. You have not even clarified if your sister has PR to stay and work in canada. You are stressing her out instead of trying to appeal to her. If you continue with your entitlement mentality, keeping grudge over money and imposing HIGH expectations on others without understanding. Then you run the risk of loosing your sister for life. If she gets married or start having children.. I don't think her family will take well to your grievance.. Yes, you are under pressure yourself and need help but stop being demanding and controlling ... Asking for help or support from others is optional not mandatory. Am definitely sure if you change your tone and make her understand that her contributions to the will be appreciated. She will do help. You cannot condemn something people to get the best out of people. You need to build understanding and team work rather than threaten isolation...
9.Before you judge her ask yourself what kind of support does she have in the event of her loosing her job or failing ill? You have a support network in naija and can bounce back by getting support from the community. Abroad people rarely borrow money to anybody or house others when they are homeless. What social network or security does she have in canada? Can she trust you with her finances?
10.Be grateful for what you have and improve your communication and relationship and stop making unreasonable demand or expectation... 5 years in Canada and you expect wonders unless you want to do Yahoo.

Nothing will happen to him.. He is a british citizen.... If the British man is sincere. Then seize money and asset than belong to nigeria politicians n the UK then they will behave themselves.
You take money from their wives and children for school fees..
You only threaten poor people with sanction

However, that british official breach his official calling. You do meddle in another country's internal politics not on radio. The country is already polarised. I do not see the wisdom in that speech.
Moreover, FFK is a british citizen via his father place of birth.. Why threatened people with ban.. Why not block the money coming to Uk banks? That's the koko...
The British as usual playing to the gallery and not offering solution..
Anglo cameroun is a mess courtesy of the British, who are quick to give unsolicited advice but do not undertstand intricaties and complexities that surround african societies.
Let the politicians learn to deal with their grievance in Court and their supporters fight among themselves.
The rest of us want peace and a functioning society.. We dont want the British given the l impression that one political party is right or the other is cheated.
The British intervention in any country is always damaging.
A 63 years old man should be left to take responsibilty for his action good or bad.
We dont need lecture from anybody.

I’m equally scared just as you . As a single young man, anytime I spend , I always think of how to replenish.. sometime I’ll calculate and calculate and calculate before I spend on myself even though “ I have enough in my acc”. Fear of going broke, fear of inability to cater for my present and prospective family , fear of not meeting up with the standard the society sets for a man, fear of marrying the Wolf in sheep skin , all these things fear me pass death

Guy, we men have to be honest with yourselves. Speaking from experience never marry your other half if she or he is not self sufficient.. Being a religious person or weak gender should not be the only deciding factor in sustaining a marriage.
As a man, you will loose your job, income or become incapable due to illness or temporary loss of employment. You need a spouse that can help, stay calm and provide an anchor or support during this testing period.
Unfortunately, most of our modern women are not prigramme or willing to provide for their spouse when things get tough.
Kudos to those that do. I know plenty women that are secured and have provided for their family degrading the man. Is understand and believes the man will bounce back. Loyalty from a woman is paramount...
For the few that disrespect or walk away from their relationship.. It creates mistrust, betrayal and feelings of exploitation...
There are good women. Choose carefully l partner that can work and collaborate with you.
Marriage or relationship should not be a poverty elevation programme..

And who told you it’s not normal to have kids without getting married? This is just societal values and it doesn’t carry any weight. They don’t know what you are passing through in your marriage and they care less. See, it is just what it is! Without financial stability in marriage you are doomed!
.

My chairman, i sense from what you saying. The marriage is not the problem but perhaps the lack of suuport, morally, financial and trust from your other half. Two hands is better than one..
Our spouse/other half also need to support and assist one another and not leave all responsibilities to the men. This whole religious doctrine about gender role is not applicable to modern challenges. Jesus, virgin mary and mohammed never had a formal education..
Training and providing education for children and living in a comfortable house costs a lot of financial burden..
The challenges are modern and it requires joint working or else marriage becomes a burden.. Men need support. My bro, keep doing your best and ensure you protect your mental strength.
It is well.. We grow together when we all support each other husband, wife, sidechicks and side cock.
SportsRe: Jose Peseiro Has Led Super Eagles Of Nigeria To Record-making Four Defeats by Sapeleomi: 10:23am On Mar 25, 2023
[quote author=adenigga post=122046433]The Super Eagles of Nigeria are having a very challenging period under the tutelage of Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro as they suffered their historic 4th successive defeat on Friday.
Naija News recalls that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) appointed the 62-year-old Portuguese coach as the head coach of the Super Eagles on 15 May 2022.


Since then, he has helped Nigeria to win just two games, a 2-1 home victory against Sierra Leone in June and a 10-0 victory away against São Tomé and Príncipe in the same month.

Before then, coach Jose Peseiro has led the Super Eagles to suffer a 2-1 defeat in a friendly game against Mexico in May, and a 1-0 defeat to Ecuador in a friendly in June.

The abysmal performance continued in September when Algeria defeated Nigeria 2-1 in a friendly and then suffered another defeat against Costa Rica in November.

Ahead of the Qatar World Cup which Nigeria didn’t qualify for, coach Peseiro flew the Super Eagles to Portugal for a friendly game and the country smashed his team 4-0 in November.

Just when Super Eagles’ fans thought the losing streak would end in 2022, coach Peseiro and his supposedly star-studded squad resumed the streak in 2023 when lowly-rated Guinea Bissau came to visit on Friday, March 24.


Before the visit, Guinea Bissau played Nigeria once and it ended in a victory for the Super Eagles. Hence, Victor Osimhen-led attack was expected to demolish their visitors in Abuja but the reverse was the case.

For the first time in the history of Guinea Bissau, the 118th-ranked team defeated Nigeria. Not only that, they defeated the 35th-ranked team in Abuja 1-0 to top their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification table. It also made it the first time in the history of Nigeria that the country suffered four straight defeats.

As it stands, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are a point behind Guinea Bissau which means that they have to defeat the country on Monday, March 27 in Bissau to stand a chance of qualifying for the 2024 AFCON in Ivory Coast.

Notwithstanding, the performance of Jose Peseiro since he took charge of the Nigerian team has shown that he does not have enough tactical know-how to handle the highly talented squad. Hence, urging the NFF to let him go after the game on Monday wouldn’t be out of line.

Nothing positive will come from hiring foreign european coaches without improving grass root football in nigeria, and upskilling and training our people as coaches and technical advisors.. Pinnick penchant for foreign born nigeria players, that are average over nigeri based footballers is just a sign of poor vision and poor management. He also seemed obsessed with hiring foreign coaches.. I have not seen anything of them develop our football on a local and community level. That where you find talent and create a football system.. Pinnick has been a disaster with his inferior complex. Thank God he is leaving...
RomanceRe: My (AS) Genotype. A Major Hindrance In Getting Married On Time. by Sapeleomi: 12:09pm On Feb 06, 2023
Hi,
Is good to hear you thinking about getting married, having children, and maintaining a family..
However, the questions you must ask yourself is if your character and that of the person you intend to marry will substain you both throughout you growth,challenges and tribulation? .. You have to be discerning because your love or religious, ethnic consideration is not enough for a marriage to work.. Please settle down with someone you trust, respect and who protect your interest no matter what.. A consistent character trait prevails over Love, a feeling that is fleeting.. .. If you broke or unemployed today can the love between you and your proposed fiance last?
As per genotype, science may be of assistance... There is no guarantee that if you married an AA person she will conceive and have healthy children? Fertility and heath issues are a risk..
You do have the ability to marry and settle down with an As person you deeply desire and happy with. What you need to do is go for regular pre-pregnacy check of the unborn child or embryo before the baby develops fully.
It may be a traumatic experience for you or the mother to terminate the foetus or unborn if is unhealthy. . However, health and scientific discoverery gives the opportunity to scrutine and preempt health complications..
It is likely to be financiallly costly and not available in every hospital. However, it saves you from getting with the wrong person and having children with someone you dont desire..
Your decision now determines your future happiness and stability in your relationships..
Choose wisely and stay positive...








Barbados20:
Goodmorning house. Family and friends are pressuring me to marry but this is the dilemma am going through.

Genotype has become a major barrier for me to get married to lady whom I love. We are tested both AS. My fiancee is from the same ethnic and christian background like me.

On the other hand, I have this female friend whom i recently ask to know about her gnotype. She told me she is AA. Like joke, i ask for confirmation and she brought all d test results frm different lab. The issue is now this female friend is not from my tribe, she from a muslim background although she does not seriously practice it.

My fiancee from my tribal background, but genotype did not match with me. And the other lady from different background, she is AA and match with me. One girl I dated then was AA but the love was not there between us.

Its really frustrating to be AS if you are a Man that want to settle down I am really confused right now. Am above 30. How do i handle this issue of Genotype, ethinc and religious issues? Pls i need advice.
