The shout out was paid for through lobby groups. Nothing is free at that level o.

How many years now has he stopped playing football? Why is he talking now?

Players only get to talk (fully) when they retire. Now, they have nothing to lose and they can also earn an income whilst doing so.

Talking about football now becomes their source of income rather than playing. Huge business in American Sports especially.

That's why nobody is paying you to talk about sports or your experience from your playing days,
you have not walked the walk, so you can't talk the talk.

What do you want him to do, retire to Jos and start farming and getting attacked by herdsmen?

shadrach77:
The guy is an idiat. Nigeria is a third world country. What do you expect?

You are not bigger than Anthony Joshua, Ashley Plumtre, Troost Ekong and others who identify with us

So because he's not as big as those you mentioned, his experiences are invalid. This our mindset, One day sha!

Mrfixitt:
Stop yarning trash. The level of evil perpetrated in Africa is never seen any where in the world.. You're a kid who has never seen anything if you argue this

Because Hitler didn't kill millions and all the evil colonialist didn't kills million and mutilated thousands across Africa. Dey play. Don't get me started on the millions that were captured and taken into slavery by your white saints.

Mrfixitt:
Black people can't go far as a people because of their evil minds.

First of all, this is an evil act and the culprit deserves the worst death penalty. Secondly, it’s a shame that you threw your entire race under the bus based on a story you just read. Human cruelty is not confined to any one race, there are countless tragic cases across all races, which is very sad and evil.

For example, here are two unrelated incidents perpetrated by members of the white race:

A man in Nottingham, UK threw petrol and fire through a letter door hole and killed a mother and two daughters: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65988132

A woman in Northampton killed and buried her boyfriend in her garden, then pretended to be him in chats with his parents: BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-68760747

These examples show that evil acts are committed by humans, not by a specific race.

Nackzy:
I just don't know why people don't value Nigerians, wouodnhave said racism, but again vini is black

Black sef get spectrum o. Brazilian black different to ikorodu black o. In the Hotel Rwanda movie, Don Cheadle made a statement that rings till today when they were leaving the black Rwandas and not saving them. He said "You are not even a Nigga, you are an African".

I'm sorry to say this, the big clubs are avoiding to pay him. The top players at Liverpool, City, United and Arsenal are on these kind of money and Osimhen is in the class of those guys. I think he'll need to be strategic and be realistic. Get a Premier league team to pay you 200k. Prove yourself in the EPL and maybe the 350k will pay day will come soon because at the moment, no club is fighting head over he's for him.

JASONjnr:
Bro...... Opposition within the GOP is real, but doesn't necessarily threaten Trump's agenda. Presidents often face internal party conflicts. Policy disagreements are normal. The GOP is a diverse party with different views.

Also, The tariff is to ensure that American goods produced in the US are cheaper and to ensure that Americans began to produce more of what they want.. it'll also push foreign investors to establish their production companies in the US, that way, they can pay tax to the US government.

Comparing Americans to Nigerians is subjective and oversimplifies complex cultural and societal differences. Cultural and historical contexts differ. Economic conditions are vastly different. Protest movements have different goals and outcomes.

How long do you think it takes to set up a supply chain for manufacturing a car? Those jobs left the US over the past few decades, and China along with Vietnam now have the most robust supply chains for manufacturing. Additionally, the living wage in the USA is so high compared to Asian countries, which makes it automatically more expensive to manufacture anything in the US.

DomPerignon:
Before you rush to condemn this couple, know that the situation is worse in Nigeria especially in the SE and almajiri north.

The story is not about almajiri and yes we condemn these people. Some of the comments here supporting the culprits are surprising o.

Atalanta and Gesperini made lookman, cos he had been wallowing in football wilderness for a long time , from England ... Gesperini bought him and made him who he is today ... if not for Atalanta and Gesperini, he would have faded off like some of those mediocre players ...
He had only scored 26 goals in his entire career b4 he joined Atalanta, even super eagles no de look e side that time .... lookman will be 28 this this ...he only started doing well 2 yrs ago after Gesperine bought him.. he was just another player at Charlton, leipzeig Fulham and Leicester

I share your point but every human still deserves dignity and respect. Also doing well for 2 years no be beans. While I appreciate my helper in life , that does not make me a dirty stamping rag for stamping on by my helper.

planetx:
Except white people, but to be honest America is what it is today where everyone want to live In because of white Europeans and their ability to nation build. He asked during his first term why US cannot get immigrants from Norway instead of Afghanistan, Congo etc.

I agree with everything except the statement that a white European nation built America. Have you learned how slave labor built the entire American economy in its early days? Do you know that the U.S. Civil War was based on slavery because the South couldn't let go of its only source of economic power, which was black slaves? America was built on the backs of stolen slaves from Africa. White Europeans immigrated to get free land and were able to acquire generational wealth, while the black man got nothing.

Please read some US history books written by both blacks or whites.

Read one Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
President Andrew Johnson
Cotton Economy
Jim Crow Laws

I thought America is closed to all refugees and as some people were saying on this platform weeks ago that America can not simply accept everybody.

I've seen many women come online to announce their divorce or separation, and you see comments cheering them on—'Speak your truth,' 'I'm here for you,' 'I went through the same thing.'

But if a man comes online to say the same thing, he's labeled cruel, unempathic, and accused of bringing his personal matters online.

Toke Makinwa wrote an entire book denigrating someone she was once married to, and everyone cheered her on.

Starzo:
Bro I agree with you.... America should open it's borders so everyone can get in. After all it's a country of immigrants.

I'm sure this makes a lot of sense to you

You cannot call every single immigrants rapists and murderers. Donald Trump's immigration policy is racist. He wants to separate parents without papers from their us citizen kids.
No one is saying open the border and let everyone come in. However the idea of criminalising people that came to America at a young age and still yet to get their papers is evil. In that aspect, yes it is a country of immigrants.

galserv:
So funny

The real Americans are those that found the country and named it not the aborigines that didn't even know where they were.

And they are mainly Europeans led by the British

Then we have Latinos who became Americans after their various small countries were annexed by the original 13/14 states that was original America.

What about the decendant of the slaves that built the whole country with their sweat tears and blood. Should they go back to Africa as well.

Starzo:
Every land is made up of immigrants. In the early stages of humanity, people migrated to various lands to form clans.

Now because we all came to our present environment through immigration at one point of our existence,does it mean we throw the gates open allow people move in and out without proper vetting?. Does it mean anyone can just claim to be part of us, understanding our culture,values and struggles just cuz they were born on the land?

Trumps mum came to America in 1930. 1930 is not early years in history.

Whether he likes it or not, people will always migrate to America in large droves even after his demise and some of these people's offspring will make the nation great one day as proud Americans. Their heritage could also be Nigerian, Iranian, Mexican etc. It doesn't matter.
#WhiteEuropeansAreNotTheOnlyRealAmericans

Starzo:
I agree with you ,the constitution should be changed.

I am not an American and I think every country should do what is best for them . Me personally,I am not in support of citizenship by birth. For me, one of your parents has to be a citizen for you to qualify as such through birth

There are others ways to obtain citizenship tho

Natbrowny:
A white man was born in Nigeria, would we consider him Nigerian? That's what someone who has Australian Parents but was born in Nigeria posted on Quora.

Hugo Wallace Weaving AO is a British-Australian actor. He was born in Nigeria, do we consider him Nigerian.

Can he hold public office here in Nigeria if he proves that by birth he is Nigerian.

America dey try sef, dey allow immigrants who was born on their land to hold public office. Naija no go gree

Difference is the only people indigenous to America are the Red Indians and they are less than 10 million in number. Everybody else came.
Trumps mum came from Sctoland, his Grandad came from Germany and his wife from Eastern Europe and they are all equally American. America is not for white people only.

I respect Sowore more than all those sell out under-40s (Supposedly Young) fake twitter activist.

I've seen Sowore fight the powers that be and yes I know, he's not perfect.

nolamicautos:
Osimhen isn't really suited for the Premier League. He should stick with Napoli, please. As for Mikel, he should consider coaching instead of talking nonsense. Football isn't an easy game, after all. How many goals and assists did he even manage in his career? Just leave our Jackson alone—we love him.

That's what football punditry is. Don't take it personal and Mikel has earned the stripes to talk his talk. Jackson should just be open to criticism and prove him wrong on the pitch.
I net you 20 years from now, An over 40 years old Jackson will be talking the same "shit" on tv about another "African" player.

[quote author=BeautifulMind2 post=127912022][b]Nothing like jealous, I'm give you facts, he is not the owner of global infastructure stop deceiving gullible minds, Global infastructures is owner by Credit Suisse

The above is not fact, let's have understanding.
He's a founding partner of GIP and the Credit Suisse you are shouting up and down is an investor in their first flagship fund. The 100billion dollars is the portfolio value which is called AUM (Aseet under Management) .
The company he founded GIP is being sold for $12.5billion and his takes is at least $2.5billion as the money is being shared with 5 other partners, GIP staff will also be receiving equity coming from Blackrock ad part of the sale. Basically a lot of people will be multimillionaires and few billionaires.
Now, Blackrock will take over the $100 billion asset (AUM) which of course is the investors capital and they will manage these assets and obviously take their commission yearly till world ends or until they sell. You can Google private equity and understand more.

Israel Get topnotch Intel's.
How did they know he was using that car at that moment.
No wonder Nasrallah is hiding like a rat and don't use phones.
GOD BLESS ISRAEL

Mossd has a 100% clear access to CIA/NSA Intel. Combined with MI5/GCHQ from the UK, any culprit they really want is a dead man walking as its only a matter of time.

If you truly have 50 million. You have many options
Staying would be great and you could also pay 25million for a Msc(Choose a great degree) at a very top Uni i.e UCL, Imperial and get a top Finance/Big Tech job afterwards. Not easy but I've seen people achieve this feat as it all depends how much you believe in yourself, how determined you are and your faith.

yinkus6750:
Surprised that the United States has that much.
Didn't even know they have different ethnics to that extent.
Though a very big country with large expanse of land , almost equivalent in size to a Continent.

It's the immigrant languages bro. Only the aboriginal languages (American Indian languages) English and Spanish are the major languages that has enough case for the term "Ethnics" in America. French was largely spoken in Lousiana but I don't know whether it has enough relevancy to be termed an ethnic language.

Firstly, the closing up of these startups doesn't bode well for the Sub-Saharan African startup scene. We also need to refrain from perpetuating negative stereotypes about the black/African continent as a whole. Fraud is something that exists worldwide; there are several US biotech companies on the NYSE and Nasdaq with no functional technology, yet they take millions of dollars from investors and a lot of these companies end up packing up.

A notable example is Elizabeth Holmes, a woman whose biotech company was valued at $10 billion, but it turned out she had misled investors, and the technology she claimed to have didn't work. She was recently sentenced to 11 years in jail. It's important to note that she was a white American woman who attended Stanford.

We should refrain from self-deprecating narratives about Africa and black people as a whole. Fraud occurs globally, and African, American, and European fraud are equally detrimental.

Hello Nairaland family. I am currently in the process of prioritising assistance to relatives and friends. As you know, charity begins at home. While I won't be able to commit to weekly give away as originally planned, I still intend to participate and send 10,000 Naira to a lucky person here from time to time.

God bless

Ibadan born and America raised. Don't let anyone tell you that school is a scam. The dude is very educated.

Receiving a good education from prestigious or elite schools where you truly learn is invaluable and can truly set one apart in life. Just look at Adebayo Ogunlesi. However, attending a mediocre university or a degree mill can be a waste of time, although not always, as some individuals who even attended mediocre universities have achieved extraordinary things.
