Counterigbolies:Wrong! Ghana has deported Nigerians before, no one said they are Xenophobic. Nigeria has deported Ghananians before, they did not accuse Nigeria of Xenophobia. You need to investigate and understand what drives Xenophobia, it is not crime, unemployment, hunger and other things on the surface. It is a deep-seated psychological trauma which if left unaddressed, metamorphosed into rabid hatred for others beings, even at one's expense. |
Sad Africa drew 1 - 1 with Czeck Republic today One Point out of Six. Looks like they are coming Home, except they win their next match. |
EndBuhariNow:You forgot to add Germany, which is going broke, trying to lure its Youths into war and is supplying Storm Shadow Missiles to Ukraine, to hit Russia! But I think one of two things is at play: 1) Putin is growing Old and getting Soft. It should never have come to this level. If it was that his 'mad assistant' Dimitri Medvedev that is in-charge, he will have turn Kiev into Dust by now and probably gone to War with these Countries, when it still has the element 'invincibility". Putin should hand over Executive Power to younger People and he may still remain as titular Head of some Advisory Committee. Putin has been good for Russia, for many decades that they are worried about loosing him. 2) Russia is planning "big things" for Ukraine and wants Ukraine to reach a point where, even the America will not bathe an eyelid, when Russia drops its "Package"! Putin knows when this happens, it will be a DIRECT War with European Powers but he wants to ensure America will not join them, hence his trying to appease Trump. That is an illusion, America and European NATO partners are working together for the destruction of Russia. I SEE FEAR in Putin, but l also see RESTRAINT, because when this Big War unfolds, Russia has only one Option to survive: Nuclear Weapons. And it will use it, hence it is very reluctant to act now. (Ukraine is even not in the equation, that one will completely destroy itself very soon because it is running out of able-bodied Men to send to the War Front ) At that point, it will no longer be afraid it will also get nuked, it will be about who else wants to get nuked? New York? Berlin? London? Paris? Tel Aviv? It will be a War between Nuclear Weapon States and How much Destruction of your own People and Cities, the Leaders are willing to Accept. It is not a very bright idea to corner this Bear with Nuclear Weapons, Oretshniks and Poisedon Delivery Systems I hope it does not come to that but going by the belligerence and continued provocation of Russia, by European NATO Countries (France, UK, Germany) and their rabid, Russophobic Baltic Puppets like Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, not to mention Finland and Sweden, l am afraid that is where we are heading to........ unless something restores Common Sense. |
Every time l see this sort of situation, especially when Nigerians are involved, l get annoyed at the Host Country (like South Africa) but it quickly don on me that the bigger problem is the Leaders in a well blessed Country that are looting resources meant for the population and they are the ones that deserve our Anger. Imagine the Deputy Head of the NNPCL telling Senate Committee that they used Two Hundred and Ninety Three Billion Naira (#293Billion) to REGISTER NNPCL as a limited Liability Company! But Company registration is less that Twenty Thousand Naira, infact, it was done for free, less than two years ago! It is this sort of monumental level of Corruption, that spreads poverty and drive Nigerians to relocate to ANYWHERE, including into Countries that hate Blacks (Arab North African Countries) or Xenophobic Republic like South Africa. If we don't fix our Country and get rid of Looters, Bad Government, things will keep getting worse and we will keep getting treated like Garbage, by those who should be our Shoe-Shiners. Let us make the Sacrifice, to make Nigeria work for all of us, by shunning Tribalism, Religious, stop supporting Criminal Politicians/Political party, stop Voting along Ethnic and Religious lines, ..... TOGETHER, face our Rulers SQUARELY, they are the real and bigger enemies. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. When we are done with ourselves and have become a big Power (just like China), let me see how all these Xenophobic Countries will not show us the respect we deserve. Have we seen any Country try to abuse a Chinese Citizen, in recent times? |
Gten:It is very difficult than you can imagine. How do you assert your Right, when the Police, Judge, Lawyer and Prosecutor that should dispense Fair Justice, are ALL Covert Xenophobes and Racists? ![]() Apart from say make you carry firearms take defend your ver Life? I think ALL African Countries should boycott South Africa, issue Sanctions against South African Companies and Products, the way we did with saving them against Apartheid White Regime They have become an international embarrassment for Africa |
SundiKeita:It is reall a sad thing and a terrible period for football, that Nigeria cannot pick just one of the TEN Tickets available, in a Continent of 54 Countries! That means we are not even good enough to be ONE out of FIVE.... a miserable 20%! And we have been Best out of 54 Countries or Second a lot of times. All the Official People in NFF should be in Jail by now, Let us chop the ban for 2yrs but use the period to start all over again, with dedicated, fresh faces. If FIFA tries to force us to re-instate all the Looters, we should hand those people over to Bandits and tell FIFA to go and secure their release. ![]() |
MrJames007:You'll be surprised! Football can be very unpredictable moreover, Teams get better, as the Competition progresses. Also, the style of play of an opponent (like Panama that came to Brawl and kick their opponents), can determine how fluid you rgame is, or not. |
Poor Game overall, it was a Brawl, the Panamanians were very Physical and Rough. The Ghananians were Unsettled, no pattern to their game but they won, that is the most important thing. THREE POINTS. Maybe it is just me, but l think all these referees were always very Unfair in Decision-making, once it involves a Black Player! In the England game, Saka was fouled and ignored by the Referee In this game, the referee keeps overlooking the Fouls of the Panamanians but will blow every infringement the Ghananians commit. I see this pattern all the time, it is as if the Referees are saying: You are Black therefore, you must be the offender! ![]() Thank you Ghana, for making Africa Proud. Unlike the Xenophobic World Cup Passengers of South Africa. ![]() |
StoryHaven:The problem with Naija football, just after the exit of Westerhof and Bonfere Jo, has always been extreme Corruption in the Football Association, protect by FIFA Sep Blatter and his European Other (cant remember the name now). They loot Money meant to develop Football locally and country's Authorities can remove them, otherwise FIFA will ban the Country! Because FIFA itself is so Corrupt and these Country FA Chairmen are protected by Head of FIFA, to guarantee his own re-election. Just look at the Nigerian Glass House/NFF and Infantino, rub my back, i rub your back. Ghana finally scored in the 95th minute of extra time. |
As for NDC, it is a Kitchen/Parlour Party. It is like putting a Pig, in a Chinaware Shop ....... it will break every China plate in the Shop. This is a Party that No One would have heard about, if not that Obi was forced into seeking a Platform with them. All of a sudden, they find themselves in the eyes of everybody and as the main opposition Party! No One wins the Jackport of a Lottery and remains "normal" again. ![]() That Party Secretary is just fighting to keep his role, he knows Seriake Dickson can remove him like Jigga, hence the profuse display of fake loyalty. ![]() Obi (and Obidients especially), have to learn how to play the game. You dont use GraGra to kill a fly perched on your Scrotum. There is time for everything. I wont say more but Wisdom is profitable. |
AngelSlay:Citizens have abdicated their responsibility, Politicians are only concerned about looting. For most Nigerians, the Poverty is so excruciating, they would do ANYTHING for #5,000. The Politicians in Government have discovered that making the Citizens extremely Poor, as in real, abject poverty, makes it easier to manipulate them into supporting whoever can give them 2Kg of Rice and #5,000. That is why you see that our Rulers are bent on making Life more miserable for more and more Nigerians. Did you watch the June 12 Democracy Day Protests? Did you see the face of those Women brought together to come and sing Govt praises? I really feel sorry for those Women, despite the fact that they are digging their own grave! For them, it is a daily fight for survival, 2kg of Rice today, One Litre of Cooking Oil tomorrow, #5,000 today, 3Kg of Garri the next day...... they will go anywhere, line up behind anyone that can give them those foodstuffs to survive, otherwise they would just die! The question is: How can Citizens break this Cycle? |
Sometimes l just wonder: How can any Nigerian survive without drinking Garri, at least once in a week? ![]() I drink it mostl late evening, when l are fed-up with other foods in the Kitchen and Pantry. It brings back good memories that l take to bed. Doctor and Wifey have advised against it in the last two-three decades but me no send. I'd rather die eating what l enjoy., something must kill a Man and Garri is my Choice, if it is true. Garri with Moinmoin Garri with Groundnuts, iced water, Honey (No sugar for me again!) and Ewa Agoin Garri with Kulinkuli Garri with Donkwa Garri with Akara (Bean cake) Garri with Smoke-Dried Cat fish Garri with fried Meat/Fish, especially Titus Fish (sprinkled with small Salt) Not a fan of putting Milk in Garri Anyhow you chose, Garri wins. God Bless Garri Ijebu, the "Jaw Breaker' And for those who think you have to be Poor, to love drinking Garri, you have No idea. |
Topman7:I understand how you feel and anyone in your position, will feel likewise. ![]() But ONE BAD Report/EVENT, out of THOUSANDS of Good Reports/Event, does not make some a Bad Person. Maybe she was so focused on her acquaintance, that she did not even notice that she shoved you aside? You know how such environment usually is, everybody is flexing and it is an Igbo affair, for that matter. I apologize to you on her behalf, if she were alive, l am sure she will apologize to oyu if it comes to her Notice. But should you still be keeping malice with a dead person, what happened to 'do not speak ill of the dead'? Forgive her and let it go, please. TUANKU and Topman7 seems to know each other somewhere. ![]() |
Cj4charles:The problem with some of us, is that we just dont stop at over-do things, we do it in a deliberate manner to derogate others. Just because One Candle is bright, does not mean other Candles cannot be bright or are not bright. I am a proud Obidient, l will vote for Obi but l have seen him loose a lot of Admirers, not just admirers based on Tribe, but from across the Country who are put-off by the behavior of People like you and the guy who made the original comment. Very garrulous, unabashed, indiscipline, pompous, arrogantly 'denigrating others, by Ndigbo Commentators and Supporters. These uncouth Crowd are not helping matters and are creating a Barrier for us to break through across board (North, South South, South West and central), despite the woeful performance of the current Government. You are indirectly comparing Ibo to other Nigerians, not necessary, not at this point. It reminded me of a popular comment by some people when, Arsenal won the Premier league but did not win the Champions League. They said they are happy that Arsenal did not win the Champions League otherwise, they wont let us hear word and their arrogance ehn, no go be follow-come. ![]() Funny as it were, as an Arsenal supporter, i see reason in that statement - We go paint everywhere RED. ![]() On a serious Note, this was the same warning sounded by Seriake Dickson, complaining about the comments and online behavior of Obidients. That is an alarm bell we should all heed, If 'Things Fall Apart' for P.O, in NDC, then we have by our hands, handed Tinubu a second Term. I have cited all these examples, so that you know that your comment and those of people like you, is undeserving, it causes more problems for us. You can celebrate your success, without making others (feel) insulted. If your Farm produces very Big Yam this season, better harvest it quietly without calling your next plot farmer, a Lazy farmer. If your farm performs poorly next season and you need help, Na you take your Mouth find wahala. ![]() |
Amotolongbo:True, she really resembles her Mum, an Amazon of a Woman. Those Blazing eyes, e go choke Drug Dealers die. ![]() And she is a good Artist, really captured the "Kenyan part" of Obama, those long, tingly legs. Dr. Dora Akinyilu and Dr, Aidadevo are my Female Heroes of this Century. |
Ndenomy:There is a new Law passed by Congress, about One Week ago. It is called Section 24. Please Google it. It merges the US Army and the Israeli Army TOGETHER. They go to war together, no question asked, as in Section 4 of NATO Alliance. Let us think about what that means, for a minute. I have a strong feeling that all this Kabuki that Trump is saying, is for Theatre. It is a diversion from what is really Cooking underneath, |
TimeManager:Let us assume the bolded is true. In such case, the lower Judge would simply tell the Parties that a Higher Court, has taken over the Case and let the Parties report to the Higher Court. That aside, the Higher Court's STAY, means STAY, a lower Court cannot over-rule it by deliberating on the same matter, for whatever reason |
fergie001:No, it is not going back. Lifu may even face disciplinary procedure, for abusing the Court process and bringing it to disrepute Once a Higher Court rules on a Case, it should not go back to the lower Court. In the current case, the ruling is "a Stay", so it is not a final ruling. But the formerlly existing ruling of the Appellate Court, has made any ruling after it by Judge Lifu lower Court, Null and Void. Judge Lifu just wasted Tax Payers Money on Judicial Rascality, as my Lord has said. ![]() |
Didi2d: And you dont think some of Atiku's Voters/Supporters will eventually Vote for Tinubu, instead of Peter Obi, if Atiku was not on the Ballot? It works both ways. |
Ofunaofu:You are right. What do we expect, when a member of the Executive Arm can steal Land from its owners, and award it to the same Judges these Owners are supposed to go before, and seek redress, and the Judges DID NOT REJECT THE LANDS! ![]() Is Nigeria gone, or should we 'Go To Court'? |
Tonnyray:How about them becoming "Repentant" and Re-integrated back into Society, just like our Government do with TERRORISTS/Bandits in Nigeria? ![]() |
Dotherightthing:Do they have a Choice? Between being Kidnapped and Kpaied like that Oyo State Teacher, or those Eight Soldiers with their Heads displayed like deflated footballs, and Japaing to where you cant mind your business, make some money and sleep with both eyes closed inside your house, which one will you chose? ![]() Be Honest, there is a destiny Angel passing by right now. ![]() If we had a Government or People with the 'smallest patriotism' ruling us, you wont find a 0.000001% of Nigerians, OUTSIDE NIGERIA. But just look at what these Criminals have turned Nigeria to? |
Daguccizgreat:It is really one of the worst anomalies of life, that someone who decided they dont want to have a normal marriage that would allow them to procreate, is now allowed to adopt the baby produced from a normal couple? That is sooo-mad. This is why, despite all the 'lows' of Putin, i still like the fact that he stood against this Gay/Lesbian Nonsense that Europeans are pushing down the throat of their Member-States and some beggy-beggy African States, in Russia. Homosexuality is UnNatural and will always produce UnNatural Outcomes. |
Topman7: ![]() if you check someone's pest Posts, you can easily tell if they are South African, pretending to be Nigerian ...or not. You dont need to wonder why he keeps aettecking anything Nigerian and sepperting anything South Africa ? ![]() Go figure. |
Lastmankc:I totally agree! Infact, i will say, "Unfit" |
malali:The bottom line is that 'The Fly, will always support the Person with Sores all over their Body'. Everything is Rob my back, i Scratch your Back ![]() Nothing will happen here. The same Senators who told Oshiomole in confidence, that their Signatures were "improperly included", will deny it, when push-comes-to-shove, even if Oshiomole has them on Tape! I hate to say it but the level of Criminality running Nigeria, is better imagined, than acknowledged. Pot-Bellied, Mafia-Gangsters cannot be running a Country and you expect that Country to develop or expect Bandits not to be on endless rampage. How long it will take, for things to fall apart, if we continue on this path, is what i cannot say |
bassdow:I really get it than you think. But thank you very much for your explanation. and Thank you for not vexing. |
bassdow:Would it not be better to just suggest what you have or what you can recommend to him, at their various prices and let him decide which one fits into his Budget, as cheap as it may be? This idea of asking a buyer to state 'max budget' seems like a potential set-up, in my own opinion, because the Seller can just match anything to such Budget, even if such thing will normally retail at half-price of that Budget. Chicken Price does not, and should not depend on who dey buy am, try buy from a reputable Shop and they will sell it to you, based on a fixed Price per Kilogram. No vex for my Post, you have always been helpful, on this one, i am just expressing how l feel. |
MarketDispatch:It shows they have been lying to Nigerians and when we don't believe a word that comes out of their mouth, they say Nigerians are not Patriotic! Our Security Services are an embarrassment to Nigeria, they are only good at chasing down ordinary Nigerians who criticize the Government or who are protesting hardship. They hyper-ventilate in southern Nigeria but cant do Shishi in Northern Nigeria Imagine, Eight Soldier Heads chopped-off inside a Military Barracks and they cant wipe the whole Forest of Bandits off, in one day? ![]() But l dont blame Tinubu, People around him are just taking advantage of him, because he is not even aware of his surroundings. The situation reminds me of the last two years of Joe Biden, everything was Auto-Pen. Lost Consciousness that still cling to Power. |
