Nonetheless, baba had 39 goals and assists in all competitions, 84 chances created. Carabao cup is a bit reasonable na.

I understand your point sha. This is a brilliant record for any player but baba has become a victim of his own success. He has set high standards for himself. Liverpool messing up in Europa too with Atalanta didn't help.

89green:
I tot Salah should be on the list na

On what basis? He had arguably his poorest season as a Liverpool player - only 18 league goals, no reasonable trophy and was poor for Egypt at the Afcon. I'm saying all this as a Liverpool fan.

Kog45:
It is Lookman on the list not Boniface,so let’s talk about Lookman now,last year it was Osimhen,so hopefully to see more Nigeria players getting recognition.

Apart from Europa,Lookman did well in seria A with goals and assists as a man behind CF.

Oh you forgot he was our highest goal scorer in the last Afcon and one of the best performers along side Ekong in Afcon.

Don't mind them. They make stupid comparisons all the time. He should have scored for Boniface in the Europa final instead and cancelled Lookman's goals.

chiagozien:
But some Yorubas and Benin people first threatened to kill Igbos and Igbo children which made her responded by saying she will poison them.

And you think her fellow Igbos on that live wouldn't have recorded, screen-grabbed and called out these imaginary Yoruba and Edo people that made those threats first?

When you tell yourselves lies for long, it starts appearing like the truth in your ears, but the rest of us too smart for your shenanigans and manipulations. To think most of you came out to support this clearly deranged woman, just like you did with the Jamb fraud girl, Mmesoma, shows the kind of people you are.

Fiscus105:
I wish X banned by every govt in the world, a platform that is supposed to be neutral in all things, not even election interference.


Musk has turned himself to chief spokesman of oppositions in various countries around the world.

Apart from even being opposition voice, he's a big racist and islamophobe. He was one of those fuelling the far-right protests in the UK, a very useless man.

RZArecta:
When you finish barking, you'll go and study comprehension and correlation so as to better understand sentences. Right now, I no get time for rabid puppies. Have a blessed week sir

When empty brains like you have nothing else to say, you resort to cheap name calling and throwing insults around. Is it you, a bandits defender that wants to teach me comprehension? Do you know my level of education? Very laughable.

RZArecta:
The mugu is free to get a gun and confront the so called bandits himself instead of ranting in front of a phone

You're the real mugu. You're asking a civilian to get gun and face bandit when soldiers paid with your tax money are running away from them and their commanders and politicians are playing politics with people's lives.

Yes, DSS needs to do more

But the difference between kidnapped people, and government dissidents is that it is easy to catch government dissidents. They live in urban areas, are not armed, and don't have a large group of armed people surrounding their house....nor do they have access to instruments of terror.

Kidnappers on the other hand are heavily armed, live in remote rural areas, sometimes in very remote areas (one mediation team who went to meet some kidnappers had to travel a very long distance into the bush by bike, as there was no car) and if the DSS and army approach them armed to catch them, they can kill their kidnap victims, and then turn and face the Law...and die doing so.

Over ten years ago, DSS traced a kidnapeed expat to a house in Sokoto. They took every precaution, even moved in quietly, but as soon as the kidnappers saw the first sign of armed intervention, they brought out their victim, killed him, and then faced the DSS squad. Of course they died.

There have even been reports of kidnappers using their victims as human shields.

Now we can do as the RUssians do and rescue them anyway, but some of the victims will die, and people will blame government ...not the kidnappers. (and government is to blame really, no issue)...and since governments are made of politicans who want to win elections,.....

that's why they 'negotiate'

(This is not to excuse any government, just telling ya reality. And if you must know, I think that government should go in and kill off the kidnappers. Even if some victims die, any assh^le wanting to replicate kidnapping would think again. I'm not fond of Putin, but he had the right idea at Beslan and at the Moscow theater incidents).

I quite understand your point about these kidnappers living in deep forests and all, but all still boils down to failure of government. Successive governments do not have the political will to stop these nonsense, especially since the past Buhari-led government. I could remember the opposition of prominent Fulani politicians and leaders when Amotekun was being set up to deal with these criminals in the forest killing farmers and kidnapping people in the South West.

That there is such a vast area of ungovernable spaces in the country, especially up North is an admittance of failure on the Nigerian government at state and federal level, and an indictment on them. Nigerian politicians really disgust me. They're the most selfish, wicked and heartless set of people to walk the surface of the earth.

A country where the DSS can locate anybody that post tweets on X criticizing the government but throw a blind eye to Fulani terrorists and bandits openly flaunting ransom money and doing give away on Tiktok, yet walk freely.

One rule for Fulani criminals and another rule for the others, especially Southerners.Turji Bello, the bandit leader is walking free as we speak. Incidences like these will continue in such an unjust society.

IfnobeGod20:
You're asking wrong question, you should have asked how much he invested in education during his tenure and not incoherent question.
Meanwhile, the SUVs he bought he bought them when the economy was booming because after that he was able to save for the rainy day. He would not have tried buying such thing in a time of economy hardship.
Again, he bought the SUVs for the deserving monarchs and not those that have before. And not only that, he bought all at innoson and not from foreign owners, hence he used it to boost innoson business. You see the difference?

Since you want to shift the discussion to education, let's go back to the topic of this thread, that Obi raised- disparity in lecturers salary as against politicians.

He was governor of Anambra and by implication the visitor to the Anambra State University. Please tell me if he increased the wages of the lecturers there to a reasonable standard during his time as governor. Or is it now he is out of power he realizes lecturers salaries are peanuts?

The problem I have with Obi is that he talks like someone that isn't part of the system. For God's sake this guy was a governor for 8 good years. The Anambra house of assembly where he could have made changes from, did he reduce the millions they were earning per month while ANSU lecturers were being paid #150k?

Arda1000:
judging by how Dirty your women are your comment is laughable what a joke

Isn't it ironic that a person like you that comes from a region with one of the city, Aba designated as as a pigsty and another, Onitsha as the most polluted city in the world by WHO, will accuse another person of dirt and filth? Just too funny.

Na wa o! People no sabi say na comedy wey dey lighten the mood.

Akpabio just dey try bring some laughter to serious matter. Hunger no go finish us, we go still find joy. Na him style be that, no be say e no care.

What is there to joke about people dying, committing suicide because of unprecedented hunger in the country. I can't imagine a normal human being will defend this. Nigeria has never been this bad. It's not a joke.

nwirinedu:


No! That is your own assumption, I only said she could have gotten a better response if she was from another region. You inserted ''yoruba and northerners into a simple comment.

Well, no need dragging back and forth on this. This is what you said verbatim, I'm quoting you.

"I think her coming from the eastside also worked against her, we need to banish ethnicity from our sports, if she were from the west she wont have these problems"

But if you say this doesn't mean playing victim, then I believe. Your opinion is your opinion at the end of day.

nwirinedu:


I didnt know, your comment validates my assertion that even her people wont come to her aid.

It does not validate anything, don't shift the goal post. You had assumed that those in charge are Yorubas or Northerners when you made that comment.

nwirinedu:
Poor girl, sports administration can only work if the private sector gets involved, tomorrow if they see her running for another country they will say she is not patriotic.

I think her coming from the eastside also worked against her, we need to banish ethnicity from our sports, if she were from the west she wont have these problems, but then her people from the east especially the billionaires should help, offcourse they wont .

Always crying victim. The head of the body that was responsible for this error is a fellow Anioma as this athlete, Mr Okowa. Yet it is imaginary ethnicity you're ascribing it to.

ngwaIgbo223:


Nothing like attach there we are same don't bring your Yoruba things here instead face North your relatives and stood poking nose in family affaire.

You can never be the same with Akwa Ibom people. I grew up with them and know how lovely and respectful they are. They have no fibre of hate in their skins unlike you lots from your five dots region.

koondog:
Don't bring your ebin pa wa sachet food nonsense to the east, we are not hungry people. Ibibio people, pay attention to the names and region of the police officers doing the commendation and distribution.

I know you're not from Akwa Ibom but the South East instead. Attache by force. You're comfortable with your elected governor with access to your tax payers money, Ikpeazu sharing kerosene to your parents in your region but it's what a private citizen, a CP of police is doing that's riling you up, because he's giving beans to students in Akwa Ibom. He's not obliged to do this. I know you only have a problem with the region the CP is from. If that CP name was Emeka or Ojukwu something, you won't make your asinine comment.

nairalanda1:
Here is the issue

It costs N1300 to bring petrol into the country, yet the Tinubu government insists on making it sell for N700 and less at the filling stations.

And you people expect there to be NO SCARCITY?

If we had removed oil subsidy in 1993, or even 2011...the last best time to have done it...none of this contraindications would have happened.

Over 700 million monthly goes on this abomination , and our debt is rising again. Haba.

I'm happy this is happening during Tinubu's time. It's karma at work for the role he played in frustrating subsidy removal by the Jonathan's regime, simply for political reasons, only to now turn around in 2023 to implement same subsidy removal, without any form of apology. It's just painful he isn't bearing the brunt directly, but innocent Nigerians instead.

Things would have normalized a long time ago if Jonathan was allowed to remove subsidy in 2011/2012. It was the perfect time as the effect won't be as dire as it is now. This is because the exchange rate was reasonable then, like 150 Naira to the dollar, Nigeria had record oil production capacity as the oil bunkerers were cooperating with the government, no sort of inflation etc.

Propaganda can only last for so long before truth comes out. Ironically it is Lagos state that needs protest, not Abia.

When Lawan as a senate president was doing all the biddings of Buhari, such that he was nick-named "rubber stamp", Ndume didn't make noise like this, until it became the turn of a Southern President and Senate President.

I support anything to cut down these Northern politicians to size, who feel the country belongs to them only and can try to bully Southern representatives.

Lateef73:
If opposition had won the last election, the kind of looting that would have been uncovered in Buhari's administration would have been worse than Abacha's.

Except if that opposition was Labour party. PDP under Atiku as President would have protected Buhari even more than what Tinubu is doing. These Northerners put their brotherhood first at the national level more than any other thing, party or not.

What's wrong with these Northern politicians? Why do they always false of entitlement that they are the ones to decide whatever must be done or adopted in the country.

Tinubu will trade anything for political expediency. Livestock development that ordinarily should be a department in the ministry of agriculture is what these idiots have created a stand-alone ministry for, yet we expect cost of governance to reduce. Foolish animals.

004gist:

They are asked to do a verification and after that they will be paid. U know the past administration employed a lot of ghost workers.

So it is all of them that are yet to do verification right? Or what other excuse will you come up with again.

This is the same Otti that is yet to implement the current 30k minimum wage that is being reviewed, and states like Edo are already paying new ones. He's still paying 18k minimum wage. Oya blame Tinubu, Yorubas and the workers for that one again. Mischievous and hypocritical lots.

SpaceX:
South Africa is a developed country, not surprising.

A developed country won't be celebrating 100 days of uninterrupted power supply.

Just 9? Too small. They should have killed many more of themselves to further rid the country of lunatics. We have too many already to deal with. I owe no atom of sympathy to people who have gladly chosen a destiny of self-destruction for themselves.

omoredia:
VDM is not a yoruba guy. His convictions is not based on what to eat 2mrw. Know the difference

You're an idiot. How many of your tribesmen are as fearless as Fela Kuti, Tai Solarin, Dele Farotimi, Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana, just to mention a few?

These foolish Benin boys, a one-state tribe trying to piss off the great Yoruba nation that transcends states and continents.

parklamson:
They rape their members. They kill their members. They dupe their members. They enslave their members. They extort their members. In the end, they worship their pastors and defend them. I'm sad to say this, but Christianity is a failed religion.

If you allow yourself to be duped or enslaved and worship another human like you, then it only shows your gullibility and poor sense of judgement as a person, nothing to do with whatever religion. It's the same for those who kill another human at will for "blasphemy" against their prophet. I am a proud Christian who uses his brain and will always be.

You guys have some serious issues to be honest. I'm sorry it is the truth
