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.

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.

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

Do I expect anything better from you? Of course you'll agree with him.

Funkyswagzz:
You want to start another tribal war abi? Why can't you allow the guy to express his opinion without attacking him?

That is not an opinion, but lies. He was making an erroneous statement, and stating it as a fact. You don't allow people bandy false information about on a public forum like this because you want to prevent a so-called tribal war.

Lovit:
There are thousands of Ibos that speaks yoruba fluently, so this shouldn't be news.

It is news because your thousands of Ibos lived in Yoruba land but this lady here has never been to Igbo land before.

Naustine:
Is there any Eastern name there, or ur just unfortunate

You have no issue with your type that accused them of being Yorubas up there, but can quote another person. So Mpama isn't Igbo again?

CyberHolarex:
So when it comes to Lagos and Tinubu, Yoruba people don't have right to choose who they want right?

Edo will soon start receiving igbo treatment in southwest soon

I put it to you that Edo people actually hate Yorubas more than Igbos. Go to Twitter and see most of them denigrating Yorubas at any chance they get, even on this forum.

ogbonti:
I love Peter Obi no doubt -Olumide is not my enemy for sure - BUT Asue Ighodalo has an impressive resume - that dwarfs everyone in the race- REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE - with classy achievements spanning nothing less than 30 years

Olumide should be grateful to be appointed a Commissioner in Asue's incoming administration - HABA, is like nominating Sadio Mane with Messi for World Footballer of the Year

Sadio is good, very good - but not in the class of Messi

Na so comparing Olumide with Asue be - Asue is Messi, Olumide is Sadio Mane, I rest my case!!!!!

But all these didn't matter in Lagos when the obedients were pushing for a relatively unknown GRV ahead of incumbent Sanwo-Olu that was already tested and trusted. What resume does GRV have apart from shouting I went to MIT, compared to Sanwo-Olu, to warrant them pushing for him to topple Sanwo-Olu? You can see the hypocrisy now.

bitbillionaire:
I have a completely different view. To me that Onyema was one of the dullest and most unimpactful foreign minister Nigeria ever had. I was never impressed with him. You hardly hear his voice or his opinion on any matter. A foreign minister need to be outspoken especially on foreign related matter and proactive too.

This new foreign minister is far far better than Onyema if you ask me. I notice he is more lively compared to Onyema and has been outspoken and very active.

The person you quoted knows this, that Onyenma did next to nothing as foreign affairs minister. The only issue he has with the new minister is the tribe (ethnic group) he comes from. If Tugger was from same tribe as Onyenma, he wouldn't have made that senseless comment.

benjaminlawson:
See the way our govt officials are wasting our money, promised to take a woman to Hong Kong at government expense. The same government will now complaint that no money to provide any social facilities: health, education energy, water etc, while they have more than enough to lavish on themselves, by building 21 billion house, buying thousand of suvs, yatch frequent traveling abroad etc.

A Permanent secretary is not a government official but a civil servant instead. It's not everything you'll heap the blame on government.

sharpwriter:
Shut up! This woman taught me as far back as 2006 in EKSU during my pre-degree days, EKSU was known as UNAD then. And she was a Doctor (PhD) already. I'm even surprised that she hasn't gotten her professorship.

I knew when she crossed to UI, and I accosted her once when walking around the faculty of education in UI during my masters.

Though beautiful and young then, she is a veteran educationist. It wasn't until her husband became the governor and I heard that the governor's wife is an academia that I went to check who she was because I was curious, since I knew I had a female lecturer with the surname Oyebanji, and true to my suspicion, she is the one, the governor's wife!

So when ignorant people talk, it's to the dismay of those who have the original story. I am a witness like many others so stop bragging nonsense.

Imagine someone with a PhD already as far back as 2006 was just made an associate Professor in 2024 (backdated to 2022) and these bastard children of hate from the unproductive region are bearing their fangs and making a fuss out of it, to discredit the achievement because she's from the South West.

If not because of the notorious nature of UI delaying promotions unnecessarily until recently, this woman would have been a full Professor many years ago before her husband became governor, at least 2018/2019 if she had remained in EKSU or any other University in Nigeria.

okoloto:
THE EARLIER NIGERIA ALLOWS AN IGBO PRESIDENCY TO FIX NIGERIA THE BETTER FOR NIGERIA AS A COUNTRY.
YORUBA, HAUSA AND FULANI KEPT NIGERIA WHERE THEY ARE NOW
UNFORTUNATELY THEY FEEL IT MORE.

Yes, don't worry we will allow the likes of Ikpeazu become President so he will turn Nigeria to paradise as he did in Abia. Or isn't Ikpeazu an Igbo man too? I didn't even know that Igboland that have had Igbo governors only are actual heaven on earth now o. You see how illogical your reasoning is?

Why is it so hard to see anyone score like 80 and 90 in English Language UTME?

LegendHero:
You’re right. It’s akin to just saying sentence for life.

99% of the governors won’t sign the death penalty.

I thought NDLEA is a federal agency, and a law passed by the Senate becomes binding on all, so how is signing of death penalties left in the hands of state government. Can't the federal government do this, I don't understand? I just want to be educated on why this is decided by state governors.

A 40-year with 12 children already shows an irresponsible person whose life revolves around sex only. It's only expected that such a nuisance will have to die through sex as that's the only thing he lives for.

Kizzygentle:
Premier league is very competitive.. How Liverpool couldn't win the league with 92 points 2 seasons ago and still didn't win the Premier league is a record too.

That was even better. Same Liverpool finished with 97 points in 2018/2019, yet Guardiola's Man City prevented them from winning the league also by finishing with 98 points. It's really crazy. It had to take Liverpool 99 points in 2019/2020 to finally win their first league in the Premier league era.

Simple rules of concord. Subject-object verb agreement. The daughter was the drunk one.
