Those ones should start taking notes from the Springboks...😂😂😂

I don't think SA takes them seriously anymore...🤣🤣🤣

And my apologies to the SA Bafana Bafana supporters in here, don't come for me please...🤭🤭🤭
😂😂😂 I always wonder why they always under perform despite having one of the best run leagues on the continent, with better sports infrastructure than most of others yet they still struggle to beat Niger, Liberia or even Uganda 😂😂😂 almost never qualify for tournaments excepts when hosting, the bayana bayana does it better than the bafana bafana.

In the early 2000s football was a much bigger sport within the black communities... But as years went by and some black South Africans started showing interest in playing rugby, the black communities started slowly paying attention to it.

But now rugby has made its mark in this country and I can say that it's now a bigger sport nationally... And yes, football is popular within the black communities, townships and villages to be specific, but that doesn't mean they don't like rugby, they just never got the opportunities to be exposed to the sport and learn how it really works, while football has always been a dominant sport within those communities.

But I like the fact that rugby is bigger than football because it just unites the entire country and I love it.
the reason you think Rugby unites south Africa more is because they have achieved greater success than the bafana bafana, if the bafana bafana is playing at the world cup final today I think it would equal or have more impact than Rugby.

I once watched this other video of a black South African female YouTuber also making racist comments about Siya's wife, I didn't like it one bit and we ended up arguing on the comment section... grin grin grin

I mean Siya's wife is also a South African, she was born and raised here, even if she was a foreign national, I still wouldn't see anything wrong with it because we all have our own preferences... I don't understand why people feel the need to be racist against interracial couples here in SA as if it's a new thing... Interracial relationships have been happening for a very long time in this country to a point that we have Coloured communities, who resulted from those relationships.

Do you guys have rugby though?
the dude is even a philanthropist, he gives back to his his community, such athletes need to be protected, it hurts more when the criticism comes more from his own community and race, I think we have a rugby team, but they are largely unknown, underfunded, the game is practically non-existent here in our social lives, the beautiful game we all love, football we still struggle to develop it as a nation, in SA between football and Rugby which is a bigger sport? I think football is more popular in the black communities of south Africa.

😂😂 there is even a federation for it? And they get budgetry allocation, it's a complete waste of resources, If you are that good at netball why not just play basketball and make more money and fame, it just seems like a game for those who failed in basketball or maybe a secondary school inter-house sport game.

I had a course mate then who played cricket as an amateur seems strange to men, I think cricket shares similarity with baseball, which is an American favorite, same with American football and rugby.

Last time I watched football was back in 2010 during the FIFA world cup in SA, and I only watched it because it was in SA... grin grin grin... We had long school holidays that year because of the world cup.

And funny enough, even though I don't know much about cricket and rugby, I just happen to know more SA rugby and cricket players compared to SA football players.
its not surprising you know more rugby players than football players I know rugby is huge in South Africa, i saw a documentary a while back about the captain of the rugby team, he talked about the racism he faces being married to a white woman in south Africa, even when the team won the rugby world cup, I saw on Instagram how charlize Theron and other SA celebs celebrated the springboks. The only sports that carries national attention here is football.

PoliticsRe: Treat All Gunshot Victims Without Police Report – IGP Orders Health Workers by Shattuck(m): 12:46pm On Oct 28, 2023
JagabanB:
The issue here is not accident victims, it's stab and gunshot, it's good u are aware that hospitals reject accident victims too which basically doesn't involve the police.
This is a law passed by the Senate, a hospital not doing it is breaking the law and u are letting them get away.
Treat a gunshot wound or stabbed wound patient and report the incident within 2 hours to the police, with that, no police has any right to harass the hospital or doctor, everything is settled.
The reason why is because many medical personnels here don't want to be responsible.
I have been in a hospital where a patient injected with poison was in emergency ward, there's this drug the doctor was supposed to put in his drip, he kept it on his table and started pressing his system, I heard the nurse telling him that's the drug for the guy in emergency ward and casually replied that he knows and he continued handling with his device.
He knows if the guy dies, nothing will come out of it, that's exactly what they do during gunshot and stabbed wound.
A young lady died, do u know what killed her, a wrong operation was carried out on her so side effects started manifesting and she was struggling to heal, when the doctors came to do round ward checking, the mother complained and they replied her angrily that she should be happy her daughter is still alive, they booked her for operation, a correction operation and she died before the next day.
And the family took her for burial and case closed, if that doctor and hospital were hit with a law suit, they will change.
I agree with you 💯, the problem with Nigeria has always been nobody holds anybody accountable especially those in public service, reason why I am not that emphatic with Nigerian doctors when they cry for better welfare from the govt, even though they have legal right to demand better welfare I am not that emphatic with them.

There was a time you come to nairaland and you are sure of reading authentic news, how does the power of the president to appoint Inec chairman, efcc, chief of army etc becomes abuse of office. Whether it is English language that is the problem. The appointment to the Supreme Court can only be done by the president, the dumb writer says its the CJN.

Clearly it shows how easy it was to Fool the obedient, they refuse to be educated and social media has really aggravated their foolishness
clearly you are the dumb one here, where in the article did it criticize to the power of the president to appoint inec chairman, the justice was simply criticizing corruption in the judiciary.

It's good to sound like u are siding with the hospital until u become a victim or someone close to u becomes a victim.
In Nigeria, we only complain when we are affected.
The police cañ't harrass a hospital.
But it's good u are making it an excuse now.
this is not the first time the police has issued this kind of statement, the police needs to work on why this kind of order are hardly followed by its officers, and the hospitals,while these hospitals are inhumane for rejecting accident victims, they have a clarion call to serve and that call should supercede any police fear.

Yes. IREV is not even mentioned anywhere in the electoral act. IREV is just a result viewing portal and not a collation system. Even copies of form EC8A given to police officers on duty and party agents can be used to collate result and declare a winner.

Peter Obi's agents were given the results of all the polling units in the country. All he had to do was collate his own result based on the copies given to his agents and take it to court as evidence instead of looking for IREV result.
if you were not in the APC all this stuff you are saying now wouldn't even make sense to you.

Because the Mr Obi, their tribesman, they supported was roundly rejected at the polls by Nigerians, they are subtly calling for political derailment and mocking the Patriots who paid the supreme price for the democracy we have today when the Patriots got assassinated by the govt of the late Dictator. DSS should keep tab on them.

Because of the politics of lies, hate and bigotry,they are mocking the families of the Rewane, Tejuosho, Iyalode Ibadan, Abiola, Bagauda Kalto, etc and all the families of the other Nigerian Patriots gruesomely and violently assassinated during the Gen. Abacha regime.

They are sore losers and I am happy that by this time tomorrow, they , Mr Obi, Alhaji Atiku and and the rest of unpatriotic sponsors will be defeated finally at the Supreme Court.

you call this nonsense democracy, I don't support Abacha or the military regimes but come on this cannot be called freedom or democracy, the battle your so called hero fought for was never a battle against oppression, it was a battle for who gets to be the oppressor in charge. Nigeria's fight for freedom and democracy continues.

rinzaugustine:
Few days ago they sealed two Yoruba business to make it look like there is no tribal coloration to it- compared to thousands of igbo shops sealed…the trick would only deceive a 5 year old child…Same clowns and hypocrites that went and started demolishing igbo shops because igbos refused to vote APC. Nobody had ever destroyed Yoruba properties in any part of Nigeria for voting from the 1960s Action group, AD, ACN and now APC or bothered mc olumo, bayo onanuga, fani kayode etc for threatening igbos not to vote in an election. The reason Sanwo olu gave was structural problems of the buildings but Dr Vwaere Diaso died at the Lagos general hospital from structural problems of the hospital resulting in collapse of the elevator . This is a hospital they couldn’t upgrade from the standard IBB left it as head of state when Lagos was capital and tinubu and his minnows have looted Lagos for more than 20 years without upgrading something as basic as a general hospital but would use the same excuse to demolish igbo market because they didn’t vote APC..same igbos had their son Humphrey Nwosu shun tribalism to defy IBB to announce June 12 results to show States Abiola won, without Nwosu Abiola’s win would have been mere rumors told in beer parlors in Nigeria. Fast foward to 1997 Abacha had lined up all top Yoruba generals and top people in government for execution by firing squad because they planned a coup against him.Generals oladipo diya, Abdulkarim Adisa, tajudeen olarewaju, Prof Femi Adekunle etc we’re lined up for execution and another igbo man a clergy cardinal Arinze shunned tribalism and ran to the pope and reported Abacha to pope that Abacha wanted to kill those men for a phantom coup. Pope came to Nigeria for first time since 1981 to plead with Abacha not to kill those men. Abacha postponed the killings. Pope later sent his good friend former PLO leader yasser arafat in June of same 1998. Arafat was the last man Abacha saw before he died mysteriously early hours of next day by maybe divine providence of some sort . If you look across Nigeria you will find igbos are the only people that go all over Nigeria and build houses and raise families- in practice nobody since creation of Nigeria has made more effort at integration in the mere geographical expression (according to Awolowo) than igbos but a section of Yorubas like Sanwo olu and co have been making consistent efforts through their acts to gaslight disintegration but when e go set it will blow up on his head and that of other innocent people
I'm not Igbo neither am I Yoruba but it is very clear for all to see, these Ronu idiots will always tell lies against the south east just to promote ethnic hate against the Igbos, and yet these Idiots will turn around and claim they are patriotic to Nigeria.

Can someone advise the powers that be to create a Naira/Dollar ETF backed by USD held by the CBN or any strong Financial Institution. This will segment the market. Those who need the dollar for speculative reasons or as a store of value can buy this Instrument. While the real dollars will be left for these who have genuine need for forex. The ETF will fluctuate/mirror the naira/dollar rates but will be held within Nigeria.
For further details can you ask the CBN Governor to contact me.

Haa! So he's like the Swaziland king... Apparently he sent his royal guards to abduct one of his wives when she was only 18, hid her in the palace for about a year and the next time the public saw her she was his wife.

Her family tried everything in their power to get her released from the palace and brought back home by even reporting the matter to the police and proceeding to the courts.

But as the absolute monarch and the ruler of Swaziland, nothing happened, he even impregnated her before he could marry her.
damn what happens to fundamental human right atleast our's was in the ancient times, but the eswatini guy is something else, his M.O is the same as boko haram's, like him they kidnapped some girls some years back and eventually they forced these girls into marriage. They both have something in common, one of the disadvantages of absolute power.

I mean if I was a wife of a rich king, I was gonna use his connections to build a legacy for myself and my family.

Being a seamstress is a job, but truth be told, it only pays peanuts.
they are a private family, they have wealth that may not be that visible to the public, not every wife care about legacy some of them just want the easy life of comfort and wealth, I was told in the past you can't even reject the king if he decides he wants you to be his wife, I don't know how true this is.

So I used the account to follow one of the sisters just to check how she's like being a sister wife to her own sister... It seemed like nothing much was happening in her life aside her being a seamstress... So I later unfollowed her.
yes he indeed married two sisters, I don't consider being a wife of the king as exciting, I don't even consider the monarchy as exciting enough, I don't know ,maybe the siblings see it as an achievement or something, but they make enough money 🤑 the monarchical structure in Africa provides money and influence to some extent for them.
