Demehin is a disaster waiting to happen. She's panicky, misplaces passes and miskicks the ball a lot.

I wish the coach can draft Plumptre to pair Ohale in the central defence, and have another defender play from the left back position.

Goldbridge is fuming with the Osimhen to Gala news

This guy is a flip-flopper who talks from both sides of his mouth. I recall him saying earlier on that Osimhen was not Premier league proven and has to take a pay cut if he wants to come to Manchester United.

He even insinuated that Delap was a better striker than Osimhen, and now that Man U has lost out on Delap, Gyokeres wand Osimhen, he's changing mouth.

Abeg, make hin just mechionu. I was hoping one of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, PSG or Juve would have signed him and I don't like that he's decided to stay with Galatasaray but I'm glad the uncertainty is over and there's now clarity over where he'd be playing his football.

A good player is a good player irrespective of league, and Osimhen is easily one of the best #9 in the world. I'm wishing Osimhen well in the Turkish league, and may he also excell in their European campaign.

As someone in the system, I can confirm that it's true....and it's not just academic staff of universities but staff of all Federal Tertiary Educational Institutions (Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education).

And this shit of delayed salaries began last year October when the FTEIs were migrated from IPPIS to GIFMIS salary platform.

My institution's Bursar released a memo on the issue and blamed FG for the delay. According to the memo, lack of cash backing from the Office of the Accountant General is the reason for the delayed salary.

◾Wage award we no see.
◾EAA still dey hang.
◾2023 arrears of 25/35% increment, yet to drop.
,◾Monthly salary wey we dey take hold body, delayed.

Sometimes, I dey feel like some of PBATs appointees dey deliberately sabotage hin government. Surely, it can't be that difficult to process and pay salaries timely. Also, PBAT needs to exercise better oversight over his appointees because the buck stops at his table, and na hin dem go blame for failures like this.

Me, I for no too worry if no be say I carry funds go register my last born to begin school in September, and paid first term schl fees of hin elder bro & sis. Also bought a new battery for the car and did some maintenance so account don red.

Anyways, hats of to all men cos na grit and grace many of us dey take run this life.

Edit: The salary alert don dey enter but e never reach my side.

Firebox123:
not fast enough

But better than Victor Boniface

Bro stop eeet

I only started watching from 60 minutes.

From what I saw Ashleigh Plumptre was the best player on the field. Very technical player; sublime passing, good positioning & movement, calm and always picked out her teammates. Crosses were on point, defensive interceptions too. Also overlapped and ran the left channel effectively playing both 3 & 11. Not gonna lie, I was damn impressed. And I think she's even better as a central defender.

I wish her goal had stood. I could see that she really wanted to score and was willing the ball to come to her when Okoronkwo was about to take a corner kick.

We got lucky with Ashleigh. She no be white privilege. The gal na agba baller, and merits her place in the starting 11. I hope we achieve Mission X, and Ashleigh Plumptre contributes to our goal count.

What time is our match today?

UNDP is too far and will be at bottom of the ballot paper. They should have chosen a name that starts with A.

This thing is my concern. In what world is the behavior of Wike that which a president of a country to condone?

The fact that Tinubu don't care about optics is always a worry.

For almost 19 days Wike was placing front page advertorial of the roads to be commissioned in the FCT. Country wey dem talk say we are broke and minister of FCT dey use millions dey place advert of commissioning inside all major newspapers.

Look at the way Wike conducts himself in public like a tout and then it seems Tinubu is okay with it. The guy even organizes media chat/briefing almost every month where he talks like he's the defacto president barking up and down

It worries me too. PBAT needs to rein in Wike's excesses cos he is moving mad like a dictator right under his nose. The president is even encouraging his antics by commending him and advising him to ignore his critics.

In hindsight, PBAT made a grave mistake making Wike a Territorial minister. A better fit for Wike would have been a portfolio with little relevance.

Tinubu might probably keep him as Minister until 2027 to deliver Rivers and Abuja, but after that I hope he can discard him or reshuffle his cabinet and post him to another ministry in which he'll be less in our faces and have less nuisance value.

Question for una wey dey use MTN routers,

Are the MTN routers locked specifically to the MTN broadband plans or can they be used with other mtn data plans too?

TemporaryHansel:
They’re clearly not serious about removing Tinubu. Peter Obi couldn’t beat him as a private citizen, yet somehow they believe he can take him down now — singlehandedly — while he’s sitting in Aso Rock.
The level of delusion among some Obidients is honestly wild.
You can’t take out a power structure like this by standing alone. Without strategic alliances, it’s a dead mission. Look at the U.S. — even Trump, with all his pride, had to swallow his ego and work with people who not only once insulted, and mocked him but also with people he once labeled the “deep state,”(equivalent of corrupt and regular politicians in Nigeria) people he publicly trashed and called enemies. Why? Because he understood the stakes. That’s how power works.

This is not fantasy. It’s politics. And in politics, you either build alliances or you lose. Simple.

Your take dey gba as usual and I've come to accept that's you. But biko, try exercise better oversight over your AI. At least, remove the em dashes —

You're welcome.

It seems Atiku will have to jump ship and cross to ADC as part of the coalition.

I thought Wike is a lawyer and his wife a judge. If people's gazette is making this story up like Lere Olayinka keeps insisting, why is he not suing them?

I mean Lere Olayinka's rebuttals are not convincing , yet the civil servants supplying People's gazette info keep insisting Wike's hand is deep in the cookie jar

That story dey legit, my grouse is with PBAT for giving him so.much rope and not reining in his excesses, brazen corruption and self enrichment.

raumdeuter:
SM go make you dey think you are living in the wrong universe with the way people cap senselessly
There is one account on IG salarytransparentstreet where they ask people what they do and how much they make. I used to follow before until lately na capping full there. Everyone is making $1m or $5m per year

Dem go tell you say barber for Lekki dey make 500m per year and you sef will be wandering why you never go learn barber work

IG na celebrities, social media influencers and internet personalities playground. Na capping, forming, aesthetics and exaggeration full there. Everyone dey show off and present an idealized version of themselves which is different from the Nigerian reality.

On Instagram, nobody dey use aluminium or stainless steel pots dey cook. Everybody dey use ceramic cookware.

Nobody dey serve rice the normal way. Rice servings be like artwork with a small mound of rice with valley, and the protein and other orisirisi by the side.

From IG, I learned Buchymix blenders, food processors, and air fryers are the only brands in the Nigerian market.

According to IG, nobody dey climb okada or commute via public transport. Everyone dey run around with ride hailing services; uber, bolt, taxify etc

From IG, I know malaria has been eradicated in Nigeria because no one sleeps under mosquito nets. etc etc

Me, I don abandon IG for TikTok cos TT offers me a more authentic and realistic glimpse into the lives of ordinary nigerians. People are more themselves on TT. They share their raw and unfiltered moments, their struggles and challenges. Also, the TT algorithm is far more advanced as it brings more of my interests and relatable contents across my timeline. Vendors and service providers are more on TT, and offer better prices too. For me, TikTok truly captures the pulse of daily Nigerian life in a way that Instagram simply doesn't, and of course, it's a far better app.

To paraphrase, Sam Adeyemi who I consider to be one of the best motivational and inspirational preachers in Nigeria, if you wan sabi road for these present times, follow the youths. Na them God dey talk and reveal him future plans to. E get reason why Gen Z's are more on TikTok than any other platform.

At the end, do you. Move at your own pace and no let social media pressure you.

Saudi investment in their league don dey pay off. See wetin Al-Hilal do Man city. Truly, money na water.

TemporaryHansel:
First of all, I want to thank you for not avoiding the issues I raised and not focusing on agenda like the others.

You’ve raised valid points on paper, but let’s come back to reality—Nigeria’s reality.

Did I build the roads? No. But what condition are they in? Death traps. Half of the roads in this country are unusable, and the few that are manageable were either funded by foreign loans or built decades ago—then left to rot.

Waste disposal? Government only shows up in select areas. The rest of us either pay private collectors or live with refuse piling up.

Passports? Sure, I get a passport—after months of frustration, bribes, and "come back tomorrow." That’s not service, that’s extortion with national branding.

Schools? Overcrowded, underfunded, with underpaid teachers. Hospitals? A glorified waiting room if you’re lucky. Most people with means avoid public healthcare entirely. Legal system? Slow, corrupt, expensive. Police? A lottery—sometimes you call them, sometimes you run from them.

You talk like taxes fund services in a healthy democracy. Here, taxes vanish into convoy fuel tanks, luxury estates, and padded budgets. We already live in a system where we fund most things out of pocket. We're paying twice—once through official taxes, then again through personal fixes. And we’re still told to keep quiet and be “responsible”?

Let’s be real: this government doesn’t need tax evasion to collapse—it’s doing just fine ruining things all by itself. And while you're preaching “civic duty,” the people in power are busy pillaging the country dry.

So don’t come at me with morality while the system rots. I’m not the problem—I’m a symptom of a system that’s failed so badly that survival now looks like rebellion.

I’m not anti-tax—I’m anti-theft masquerading as governance.

You're being short-sighted and missing the bigger picture. True, the government has failed us in many ways, but refusing to pay taxes is not the solution. It only deepens the systemic rot, failure and worsens the situation.

Take the roads, for example. Whether funded by loans or budget allocations, the fact remains that government build roads. And through its agencies and public-private partnerships, it also handles regulation, maintenance, and oversight. Without this involvement, the roads would be far worse. Even those foreign loans you mentioned must be repaid which is largely through oil revenue and IGR, a big chunk of which comes from taxes, the same taxes you're advocating none payment.

As for waste disposal, yes, private operators exist because of the gap in service delivery. But who licenses and regulates those private waste collectors? Who allocates operational areas, routes and dump sites? Who monitors their operations to ensure the collected refuse is not dumped in residential areas, gutters, and waterways? Government. And how can government perform these tasks if everyone thinks like you and refuse to contribute their share?

I understand your frustration with the corruption and inefficiency in passport issuance cos I’ve experienced it too. But that's being greatly improved by the current Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo. There’s now a contactless application process and even home delivery. These things cost money. And where do you think that money should come from if not from taxes?

Even the private schools and hospitals you prefer are not operating in a vacuum. They are licensed, regulated and allowed to operate by the same government you claim does nothing. They pay company taxes. So, in a way, the quality services you enjoy from them are still made possible by a functioning government structure through taxes.

You can bash the legal system all you want, but there’s no alternative. It's flawed, yes. It slow and corrupt, yes. But it still delivers justice for millions and provides jobs to many Nigerians. And when serious issues wear you sokoto, na hin you go still turn to.

Also, no dey bobo us say you no be anti-tax because na you post the emboldened below:

I go out of my way to avoid paying taxes to the Nigerian government—because funding these crooks is the same as sponsoring your own robbery.

Handing over your hard-earned money to this government is not civic duty; it’s daylight self-sabotage.

See ehn, refusing to pay tax doesn’t punish the political class. They’ll continue flying private jets and living large. What it does is further cripple the already limited public services that ordinary Nigerians rely on.

TemporaryHansel:
I go out of my way to avoid paying taxes to the Nigerian government—because funding these crooks is the same as sponsoring your own robbery. Why should I pay into a system that gives absolutely nothing back? We generate our own power because the power supplied by the government is unreliable , dig our own water, build our own security, and yet they still have the audacity to demand taxes? For what, exactly—more convoys and private jets?

Let’s be clear: handing over your hard-earned money to this government is not civic duty; it’s daylight self-sabotage. Nothing in this country works unless you fix it yourself. And if anything ever moves, it’s either by miracle or personal hustle—not government effort.

I get paid in crypto and I live on crypto. Let them come and tax me—I’d actually love to watch them try.

Did you build your own roads? Do you have your own waste disposal system? Are your children home-schooled? Do you produce and issue your own passport? Do you have a separate legal system that you operate under? And when you want to travel abroad, do you just hop on a PJ without FAAN clearance or any government-issued documents? etc etc

See ehn, even if you earn in crypto, live off-grid, and only subscribe to private services, those services are still regulated by the government and rely on public infrastructure. So it’s unrealistic and delusional to think you’re completely independent off the government.

Also, your understanding of tax avoidance is flawed. When taxes aren’t paid, the government can't pay salaries, build and maintain public infrastructure. Hospitals will run out of drugs and basic supplies. Schools no go get ordinary whiteboard markers to write for board. Roads and other infrastructures will fall into disrepair. The economy will slow down. Crime rates will rise. And guess who suffers the consequences? Me, you and our loved ones, there’s no escaping it.

Please, as an elder, try to live up to that name. Think things through before making posts like this.

TheSuperNerd:
Quit the shalaye by referring to his past. Stick to he here and Now of his mediocrity.

This is the koko here, if Tammy Abraham doesnt match Victor Osimhen's exploits in Turkey, then you would bath in bitter leaf soup water for one week.

It's funny how he has never acknowledged Osimhen's injury travails when he's badmouthing him but see him adducing Tammy Abraham's poor form and record in the Serie A to injury.

Na real bitter leaf and hypocrite hin be.

........Reno don off gloves pátápátá. LOL!

These guys calling themselves Obidients really don't get it. You can't keep bulling everybody and expect them to keep mum.

There is this guy that worked with Moniepoint, Duru. He posted on X that there are opportunities in Nigeria, guess what?! He was bullied until he deleted the post.

These guys just want everyone to be posting dooms about the country across all social media. To them, nothing is working in Nigeria, yet they are enjoying freedom to post anything they like without be taken.

If really nothing is working, what of freedom of speech and expression they are enjoying without limit?! Ain't that something?! LOL!

Egi Nupe left. Jack [Man of Letter] left, Akintollgate left, High Chief Okoro left, Tunde getting bullied. They even labeled him King of Slum .....now they are calling Hundeyin a mole working for Atiku cos of his last post on X.

One would think they indeed want a better Naija and PO is indeed a Saint. This is how Ruto was packaged in Kenya, today the country is burning.

Even as a PO supporter, I do not see PO through rose-tinted glasses. Like every human hin dey fallible. Still, I gats admit that the obidients are a senseless mob.
