Amalekki:
That is true. I was there last week when Otedola and Adenuga paid house rent to this guy's father near Ikoyi bridge

You saw them too? I saw Davido, Tiwa Savage and Madam Alakija also trying to pay their rent. Even Oba of Lagos was there earlier begging to avoid rent increase

Where did this misconception come from that you can't help build Nigeria if you japa?

Facts on ground has shown that those who japa are at the very top of the chart in building Nigeria. Among the nations where remittances flow consistently inwards, Nigeria sits very close to the top. Most small businesses running in Nigeria are financed by japa family members abroad. Most emergency funds for healthcare, education, travel etc in many Nigerian homes are from those who japa. We have the fact right there in front of us but we love to tell each other lies.

Only few families with people in government and some key sectors can comfortably survive today without japa input. That is the naked truth. I belong to at least 3 large alumni whatsapp groups and I know what is going on there in terms of building and support.

I like Baba o but I give am just around 4 weeks before he japa go rest abroad for at least 2 weeks. If na France, Baba go spend at least 3 weeks jollificating away from Naija stress.

In this case, if your family no get very strong financial base for Nigeria and you have technical skills na "Do as I do o, no be do as I say"

Train is the safest means of transportation and was once in Nigeria except for when motorists or passers by are careless and the train jam them.

What is happening

People are vandalizing rail tracks so they can sell the materials. It's as simple as that.

It's the wickedness of our people that is happening.

"Vandalism, including rail track theft and sabotage of signalling equipment, also continues to disrupt operations and raise safety concerns across the network."

It is hard to make real progress in a place where we have too many hardened hearts. These people have zero conscience and will do anything for money. There is poverty in several other nations but people still maintain the dignity of human life.

To those bellyaching over this, no one is stopping you from promoting your preferred candidate for presidency. It is democracy and it’s not limited to your bedroom or your village so there will be diverse preferences for various reasons. If your reason is your hunger, that’s fine but let others be.

Claiming to be from the SS is an act of cowardice. It is okay to display your hypocrisy with pride instead of this embarrassment.

Kalashnikov49:
I am from SS and I LOVE IGBOs totally. All these Nonsense propaganda will NEVER make us hate them.

You can cry Blood.

blackgold2018:
and you believed him right?? Cant you see this is all garnered to Indirectly give some praises to Tinubu

What if he was just saying it as it is without any polished political correctness?

All I know is all those able-bodied grown men screaming like lunatics in front of Alaafin and Ooni must be drafted into the Army or Amotekun to fight. That nonsense must stop, no one is fooled.

Even Kiss Daniel's bouncer and Bolanle Ninolowo must be drafted. No more wasting of muscles here.

lagonovo:
The accused here is Martins Chike Okeke. He is the son of Mazi Okeke. There is no confusion in this report as long as readers are not under the influence of Martins Chike's products

Simple arithmetic o, nothing to add

Arsenal gave their very best. You can't give what you don't have and it's okay to punch above your weight level once in a blue moon. Season is over, let them be.

Seyi Makinde is not in APC.

Penguin2:
Now that people have gotten wise and started rejecting APC rice, what will they share now?

Life secret:

Focus your time and energy only on what you can change. Every starting point comes with pros and cons. It is never about your situation but what you do about it.

There are many with similar starting point as Davido but they move in and out of drug rehabs or are still collecting feeding allowance at 40 and there are folks from remote villages sitting at the top today.

You have no excuse.

On MURIC man's mandate we shall stand.

MURIC lokan.

BrickandLace:
As long as there is no state police Makinde cannot be blamed squarely.

Neither Tinubu nor Makinde should be blamed squarely. It is joint responsibility but Makinde should have been more proactive. He did not prioritize the security warnings around the axis where we now have the kidnapping.

All the women that I encounter in my life always drag bills with me so I’m always the one saying no. Where are these okokomaiko Beyonces from? As in, who is the father or mother?

chatinent:
Why do y'all hate Sowore?

It's not like he's done anything worse than all your present politicians.

You guys really love your chains.

Are you surprised? They don’t want real progress so they hate him for attacking their preferred oppressor.

Wasting energy on someone's opinion won't change Nigeria no matter how angry you get - some people are very creative with words and it might be a case of much ado about nothing .

SixSeven:
You are the second person saying something like this on this topic. I don't know her to well, I know her as a movie maker but except the interviews she has given and I've watched, I don't know about her personal life or follow gossip. Are you insinuating what I'm thinking?

They know nothing, it's just typical stereotyping by hypocrites.

You never heard of urgent 2k girls and short time motels?

essentialone:
According to a recent survey, the average extra marital affair, lasts six months, and can cost about N685,000 a month, or about N4,105,000 in total. The survey broke down the expenses incurred in a typical extra marital fling, such as hotel bills (about N190,000), hang out foods and drinks (about N250,000), gifts (about N85,000), and date activities (movie tickets, about N110,000, and "others," about N60,000.)

Excellent development. This thread is about this good news, no smart diversion tactics will work here.

tonididdy:
At least we are not celebrating mediocrity~a mere certificate scroll after donkey years

Speak for yourself. As Chelsea fans we shamelessly celebrated Conference league victory over cassava farmers. Let them celebrate their progress.

He won the individual award, or you missed the headline of this thread?
He won and your likes started complaining then the evidence has been provided that you don't have to win any trophy to win individual awards. Your Kante example counted for nothing. The precedence was clearly established. Simple flow of logic

Judolisco:
so he won nothing right?

Who was running it?

Eastcoastboy:
Is it Sowore and the likes that you have mentioned that are running it?

Media is a bussiness. You can build it, but the tech Is just an aspect of it. There's the art part of Media.

Because of the absence of media knowledge that's why we have bad and uncivilized journalism littered every where.

You made good point about mass communication opportunities but you don't need a mass comm degree to build that.

Nairaland was conceptualized and developed by an IT guy with engineering background.

Sowore built Sahara Reporters but studied Geography and Planning.

Rufai Oseni studied Animal Husbandry.

There are many more

Eastcoastboy:
Exactly why I said it's outdated and uneventful lecturers that I blame.

Media studies shouldn't be unrelated. The OP is just dense.

In this era of Citizenship Journalism he's spewing trash about Mass Communication. Is he not aware that Nairaland.com is a Media platform.

Judolisco:
victory over 1st and 2nd didn't win Manchester United anything.... It's called an upset

It boosted Bruno's individual stats and won him an individual award

Judolisco:
when ngolo kante won the player of the season... He didn't win it because he has goals and assists.... Infact Costa had 22 goals that season.... Kante won it because he won d epl twice plus his defensive abilities... I ask again... What did Bruno win with all his assists? Arsenal players have been robbed

Why did Gareth Bale win it in 2012/13 and Mohammed Salah in 2017/18 when Tottenham and Liverpool won nothing? There are many more

Maybe you should go and ask those responsible for the awards but I doubt they give a sht about your opinion. They are clear it's an individual award not a trophy won by a team.

Judolisco:
baba na facts I dey talk... Best player for doing what? Being 3rd?

For his goals and assists including those in their victory over the teams that came 1st and 2nd, among other attributes.

FACT!

Judolisco:
I am not an arsenal fan... Did the whooping win them anything dis season?

No but that performance adds to Bruno's numbers as contributing fact to back up this well deserved individual award as player of the season. Shikena.

Judolisco:
Seriously dis is rubbish abeg.... At least give to one arsenal player.... Manchester United that couldn't manage 5 league wins in a roll? Played rubbish football untill Carrick came to save them... Player of the season my foot

.... but Man United whooped you at home, orchestrated by the same Bruno - this is an award honoring individual performance.

PDPdestroyer:
None for South-East again!
Let’s even agree that we are landlocked, why cant FG create artificial sea for us, so that we can also have a port and leave Lagos alone

Thank you my brother from my side. You have said exactly what many of us wanted to but we couldn't come out straight. I see no reason why we can't have deep sea port in Onitsha or Anam, the water there are deep enough.

Local politics is about structures and caucuses.

I heard he could have had way more votes but news started spreading around every coty in Oyo that Tinubu's Chief of Protocol, Victor Adeleke, and his team were physically in Ibadan with Sharafa Alli. That's the final confirmation that people needed and many switched over.

InvertedHammer:

How did he manage to get 19000+ votes?

It shows how irredeemable some Nigerians are indeed.
