Semid4lyfe, your post is a cheap attempt to cheapen the drastic importance of politics and ideology in our collective lives.

If my father or mother supports and votes for candidates that are very clearly and obviously dangerous to society, then cutting them off is the least you can do that is of course after numerous attempts to change their perception with love.

Politics is NEVER A GAME. it is the single most powerful bedrock of every society. It shapes the society you live in. And you may be blind to that but you must strive to see it as an issue of life and death. Because you cannot escape politics.

donjazzet:
Let me ask you a simple question.

If your mother supports a candidate that subscribes to a jihadist ideology. One that seeks to impose Islamic religion upon society by violence. How would you relate with your mother?

Of course this already supposes that you've tried everything to changed her mindset. How would you relate to a pro jihadist mother and brother who aligns with a violent movement to impose a theological political system in the entire country?

Melvyn11:
This means you cannot survive American political sphere were family members are cutting off each other due to candidates they voted for. They actually take election seriously and see your votes as an extension of who you are and your values. Maybe if we actually take election just a bit seriously like them people won't be selling their votes for coke and bread.

Why can't you name the person you're referring to? Just a simple observation o.

Disstroy, NG Twitter is done. I’ve muted half the timeline already, I'm tired. If they’re not recycling the same tired gender wars, they’re busy platforming extremist content up and down the timeline.

Imagine doing gender war in 2025, something we retired from over seven years ago. When will people realize there are bad eggs in every gender, no gender is 100% good.
The toxicity on that app is on a different level entirely.

Ever since I saw that video I knew that one was a joker. He would be a worse tyrant than the people he is criticising.

TemporaryHansel:
Wait oh, dem dey force anybody to buy the ticket? If you don't have money, going to concerts should be the least of your priorities na.

nihilistjnr:
It's important to note that these guys are international artistes now. Yes they sell Nigerian product but not to the Nigerian market.

I've been to a few Burna Boy shows in the UK and in Europe, and he's packing 10s of thousands every time paying a minimum of £50 which is circa 100k, and has the advantage of the tickets being reasonably priced by European standards, huge arenas and multiple dates to really rack up the funds. Concert goers abroad also don't have the typical Nigerian mentality of 'I be oga' so I need to be separate from the crowd.

The Nigerian concert goer that is willing to stand with crowd in front of the stage doesn't have the kind of money form a similar chargeable crowd base, so Burna and Co cannot expect playing to a large crowd to be anywhere near profitable - so it's better for them to target their typical Diasporan customers coming for dirty December instead.

It's basically a Diasporan concert set in Lagos, that typically the promoters won't even break even on.
These artistes only need the a Detty December show to keep their brand and Naija credentials alive, not because it's a profitable market.

I'm guessing these artistes would only consider reducing how much they charge the promoters so those ones too can see something to eat and in turn be motivated to bring crowd, but other than branding and promo, I don't see any incentive for Burna and Co to do a Lagos show. The money is just not there.

BlueRayDick:
I will pay this much for a performance that involves DJ playing pre-recorded music which the artiste mimes to?

Omo! I would rather go to all those night performance at Ojez inside national stadium surulere where a live band will play and u will order fish peppersoup and drink of Ur choice without paying any gate fee. Those shows are more authentic and entertaining than all these artistes' show.

raumdeuter:
I guess some people have money and this economy dey favor dem

Maybe I am not familiar with Rema songs but I will likely enjoy an Olamide or Flavor concert more as a Nigerian. For one these 2 have more hit tracks and bangers that Rema

BlueRayDick:
I like this 👍

All the male and female feminists gassing her on Nairaland and twitter respectively, Shey dem never leave her behind now ?

Imagine boldly claiming someone ra.ped his domestic staff without any evidence .

mekabuachi:
When these same players lost the AFCON final, piesero was not a big game coach abi?
When this same set of players lost the playoff to Ghana in 2022, eguaveon was not a big game coach abi?

Make una dey play 😂 mp

Napoleon55:
You still wan meet two countries wey you no fit win for over 420 minutes of football,na so some dey shout they want to play Ghana they want to play Ghana until CAF put us in the same group for world qualifiers, they denied us WC,our eyes open.

SA used to be an easy win for us,by right now,I'm no longer interested in meeting them at all except against Super Falcons.

BascoVanVeli:
U guys with these generic complaints. Did u even watch our last game? If u did u will know Samu was doing good before he was subbed off. In fact some would say he shouldn't have been subbed off.

18-seater bus carrying graduates of Adeyemi Federal university of Education was involved in a fatal accident on their way to NYSC camp in Gombe state today.

https://x.com/dukeofbourdilon/status/1991156874117280068?s=46[/quote]Chai. Families thrown into grief and mourning unexpectedly. May God repose the souls of the lost ones and give their families the fortitude to bear the loss.

But seriously NYSC needs to rethink how they deploy corpers. E no make sense to criss-cross the length of the country just to do NYSC. Make Southerners serve for South and Northerners for North.

thanks for the observation, You are very correct...it is nonsense... just only to you.

And I quite understand. So no offense taken

kennysville:
When it comes to playing in Africa, there is an element of Physicality and grit involved. Most of the tackles we see in Africa, if it were in Europe, it's straight red card. But when it is europe, there is always wits involved. We get edged either through narrative of aggression, or through bad calls from referees or better yet lack of self belief which still comes down to colonial mentality that makes you think White people are always better than you

Nomyth:
Russia is reportedly mulling an alternative world cup to be held at the same time with the world cup next year.

Venezuela, Cameroon, Nigeria and other countries who failed to qualify for next year world cup will all be invited.

This rumor has not been confirmed or denied by Russia but its beginning to gain traction.

Shattuck:
I disagree with you, most especially the part you said the bonus row is the only thing you would fault about the NFF, if we are being honest the NFF is the biggest culprit in all of this, after the last Afcon especially the final against Ivory Coast a lot of Nigerians weren’t convinced with Jose Poseiro, they wanted a change yet the NFF remained undecided about weather to keep him or fire him, eventually we read in the news that they wanted him to sign a new contract with reduced salary, for a responsible organization, the quality of the coach should be top priority yet what the NFF was most concerned about was how to take advantage of spending less on a coach so they can embezzle the rest, eventually Jose poseiro left the job, a responsible organization would eventually quickly undergo the technical process of hiring a new coach identifying a quality coach that fits the style of play , for months the NFF never made a move, the NFF was lackadaisical in its approach, after a long while they brought In finidi George to come and try his luck, now by technical ability and profile neither finidi George nor Jose peseiro match the profile in terms of knowledge and achievements for these set of coaches to be chosen yet the NFF went for them, the NFF never gave an explanation on why these men where chosen to lead the national team, I figure maybe because they were the cheapest option for them, teams across Africa are hiring decent coaches. Even after finidi George was fired, it still took the NFF a long while to get Eric Chelle, now you talked about the bonus row, that alone is a a major flaw that proves the inefficiency of The NFF, every coach is being owed, from Rohr, to poseiro even the players how then can you demand 100 percent from them as a football organization when you aren’t giving even 10 percent of performance as football administrators, if you notice Nigerian football is almost completely dead this decay isn’t just about the super eagles, league football, youth football e.t.c. Ibrahim Gusau and his board needs to go, if we don’t demand this they will continue to act irresponsibly, I am not taking the blame off the players too, we all know how those early qualifying games under poseiro, finidi and Eguavon cost us.

Goke7:
If osihmen missed Afcon it’s no big deal as Afcon is every two years and he can still play the next edition but the World Cup is every four years and there’s no guarantee Osihmen will be available then. Ghana won’t be in Afcon so what’s the big deal, the real deal is the World Cup. You gerit?

Life itself is hard so choose your hard!

QueenJazz:
I'm even tired of talking of these players. If you ask me, it's high time we start focusing on the cankerworm eating deep into our football: The NFF (No Future Foundation).

What's paining me is that most Nigerian football fans are fickle and have short term memory. I won't be surprised if this issue is swept under the rug in the next 1-2 weeks. We need to hold NFF by the neck and not let go at all.

The Super Eagles fell yesterday, and it hurts to say this, but with Madugu in charge and with the rubbish we played in the last WAFCON. qualifiers, the Super Falcons might be next. 😩

Goke7:
It would have been better to risk him for a wcq than Afcon. My thoughts

Meliforme:
Eric Chelle got his midfield combination wrong.
Why play Ndidi and Onyeka together, except your intention is to defend from the start of the game.

There were no balance of play in the midfield. Who shields the back four and maintains the positional discipline in carrying it out, who is primarily responsible for building play from the back, and which other midfielder can assist in building play from the back.

Our movement from the back to the advanced areas of the pitch towards goalscoring, lack the kind of midfielders to execute it.
These kind of midfielders must possess good ball distribution, can take on players, and must have good ball recovery, right movement and positional discipline.

The players that are very close to the aforementioned qualities are: Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Raphael Onyedika and Alhassan Yusuf.
We should build our midfield around these players, and scout for more players.

caprikon:
Desabre is the first coach to outfox Chelle on the continent so far with the SE. On the balance of play DRC are deserved winners.

The absence of a genuine midfield controller was apparent for large spells yesterday. DRC were on the front foot for most of the match.

Sadly, this team misses out of a world cup in their prime. Naija may qualify for 2030 but by then, the squad will be aged and declining. What an anti-climax!
