,hey,friends, statistics or may be history is so vital when it comes to playing football. Now here are the three reasons why we (golden eaglet may not be able to win/won the trophy)

1. The malians are unbeaten in this competition. They have won 5 of their overall matches and drew one, while the eaglets won 5 and lost one. you see that the malians have high odds of beaten the eaglets.

2. Remember, the golden eaglets are the defending champions UAE 2013 ,so lifting the trophy back to back may as well witch haunt us, like that of the Uefa Champions league, no team club have lifted it back to back, you know what i mean,

3. The Golden eaglets and the Malian teams are two big rivals, remember when the pair met at the under17 African championship finale, they comfortably did beaten us hands down on a penalty shoot-out and hence won the Trophy. If care, is not taken such scenario may repeat itself.

4. This is the first time the Malians are getting their hands near a trophy on the international level,and they may not likely want to let it slip off their hands. Malians are very dangerous opponent, bring on any other team at this level, i would say yes, buh! Malians fear them.

5. The golden eaglets have won this trophy 4 times, the 4 trophies were mainly won on the ASIAN SOIL or continent, so, the golden eaglets have never won this competition outside Asia. So you see where the malians have their advantage over eaglets. So, with this stats you see that the malians will do better in this competition. So, as a Nigerian lets pray very well to make sure we beat the Malians, Meanwhile , defiling all odds of this stat. Thank you. Lets support the eaglets.

MALI17 VS NIGERIA17 on sunday (i.e tomorrow) 8th november 2015. Kick-off time. 11pm.

you are an idiot! does one govnr covers the sin of 34 others and the ineptitude of the federal government?

dude, just keep mute and stop spilling ur stupidity all over the thread!

SLIDEwaxie:
dude, shut the Bleep up. You're disgusting: intellectually speaking.

Where did I mention people being saints from all my comments? Where did I say porting to another party makes them saints? Where did I say APC is not corrupt?

The whole argument of party's acrtion towards her corrupt representatives suddenly happened to fly past your reasoning ability? Or you're so dunce that an important point must skip u during logical arguments. That is why its useless replying dunces like you u quoted me.

Ameachi stood before the Senate and said, "I have never received bribe.." Now, as a former PDP governor, I expected everyone to dig out his past deals and indict him., instead, you, like them, is just wailing like a wounded dog!

That's PDP for you. Senseess party!

The only governor I ever respected in PDP and who I am pained that he didn't even make a cut for the ministerial appointment was Donald Duke and the late yar dua who later became president. Their works as governors during their time speak for them.

Dude, shut the Bleep up again and mute your vapid arguments

SLIDEwaxie:
you people are so dunce that I decided not to reply all the quotes...but u are too dense that you tot u knw wpt u are saying.

If barcanista, the idiot, thought we shld blame people and not party, why the senseess posts and analysis abt APC?

Why do u wailers wail APC and not individual?

Who are the individual representing? Which party?

Every party has an ideology, manifesto that they work on.

While David mark wld av walked away if he had forged the code on conduct because PDP wld av cared less, APC wldnt.

Everyone is corrupt, but will you blame an individual or the party who fail to prosecute that individual?

You people are dunce?

because he felt like exhornorating PDP and absolving them of their crimes didn't mean PDP's non challant policy towards corruption wasn't the cause.

If PDP, the first political party to be in power after that democatic hiatus has a zero tolerance for corruption, are we going to here?

If Jonathan joins APC, he will understand that even if he has to be corrupt, it won't be as a manner of impunity. This time around, if u get caught, u get burned!

Period!!!

Ever since my male coworker called me ugly, I have never been the same mentally, I have lived the past few months thinking I am ugly. The trauma of that event has left me forever damaged psychologically.

Please guys help me out, how do I lift myself above this spiteful attempt at my self-esteem?

PassingShot:
It’s unfortunate that politics has made many to become irrational and illogical in their reasoning. This fact is more pronounced on this forum by many members from both sides of the divide (APC & PDP).

I read with astonishment, an attempt by TonyeBarcanista to stand logic on its head with a thread claiming that it’s illogical to say PDP destroyed Nigeria for sixteen years! What an absurdity and irresponsibility!

If any sane human being wants to argue against the fact that it was PDP that destroyed Nigeria for sixteen years, the person will need to at least provide the name of the party that did. It won’t be enough to tell us that some of those in PDP who contributed to ruining Nigeria in those sixteen years have either moved to APC or another party. Anyone who maintains that PDP is not responsible is illogical and is committing fallacy of Ignoratio elenchi (diverting argument to unrelated issues).

What is Logic?
In logic, necessity and sufficiency are implicational relationships between statements. The assertion that one statement is a necessary and sufficient condition of another means that the former statement is true if and only if the latter is true. That is, the two statements must be either simultaneously true or simultaneously false. 
In ordinary English, 'necessary' and 'sufficient' indicate relations between conditions or states of affairs, not statements. Being a male sibling is a necessary and sufficient condition for being a brother. Fred's being a male sibling is necessary and sufficient for the truth of the statement that Fred is a brother.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency

Applying the above explanation, it’s no rocket science to understand that if President Obasanjo was in PDP in the eight years he ruled, PDP as a party is responsible for the outcome of his leadership in those eight years. This fact will hold true for eternity even if he changes party ten times thereafter.

From 1999 to 2015, the three presidents we have had in Nigeria (OBJ, Yar’Adua and GEJ) all belonged in PDP throughout their tenure and there is NOTHING anyone can say or do to change the fact that it was PDP that ruled in those years. To conclude otherwise (or attempt to), will only expose the arguer as an illogical, unreasonable and a mischievous entity.

Factors that determine success or failure of a party
The writer of the referenced article failed to consider the following factors that resulted in failure of PDP. Instead, he dwelled ignorantly or mischievously on occurrences (defections) that didn’t have any impact on the fact that those defectors were in PDP when the party ruled for the sixteen years under review.

Party’s Ideology
A party’s philosophy is very important in shaping how the party is perceived by the populace. At a point, PDP was known and addressed as a “killer party” because of the members’ attitude of settling their political scores by assassination of their opponents and foes within. Pa Alfred Rewane, Chief Bola Ige, Funsho Williams, Eyo Eyo, Marshall Harry, Barnabas Igwe and many others were brutally murdered during PDP reign. Not a single of those assassinations has been resolved till date.

Another prominent ideology of PDP is corruption. Whether the party sympathizers online and offline like to hear it or not, PDP took corruption in Nigeria to another level. During OBJ’s regime, it was not uncommon to hear and read how the NASS was bombarded with Ghana-Must-Go bags starched with hard currencies to bribe NASS members to do the biddings of the presidency. We were not kids not to remember how Ken Nnamani, Emwerem, and Okadigbo were all removed through bribing of senate members.

Under PDP there were high profile corruption cases that remain unresolved till date. Pension scam (30 billion naira); Oil Subsidy fraud in which many were arraigned for defrauding the nation of billions of dollars in subsidies they never earned; Nigerian Immigration Scam where many innocent souls were lost and no one was brought to justice; Stella Oduah’s N255m BMW and Kerosene Scam just to mention a few.

Implication of PDP philosophy of political assassination and corruption is that a person with different belief who finds himself in such a party can easily be swayed into taking up the party’s crude and wicked ways of doing things. An example is a case of a PDP senator in 2007 that rejected his share of bribery on three occasions but finally gave in on the fourth occasion when he had become overwhelmed by the incessant approaches by his party to toe the party’s line.

Similarly, a crooked politician can be straightened by the good ideology of his party if he soon discovers that his crude ways have no place in his party’s belief.

Leadership
There is the common saying that when the head is rotten, it affects the whole body. This saying aptly describes the type of leaders we have had in PDP. It is the type of leadership that determines how the followers behave. When PDP politicians knew that OBJ was in the habit of bribing his way in the national assembly, what and who would have stopped them from engaging in their own “lootocracy”?
Whence PDP politicians knew that “stealing was not corruption” under GEJ, and also knew that keeping “the goats and yams” together (the politicians and the treasury) was enough justification for them to loot with reckless abandon, who/what would have stopped them from stealing?

Absence of good leadership from PDP in the sixteen years it ruled is well documented such that no one can wish it away. No amount of articles or campaign can sweep those unfortunate years away from Nigeria’s history and it makes mockery of anyone attempting to re-write the history because Nigerians are largely no fools. Those with short memories will always be reminded at the right time.

Lastly, the corrupt politicians who have moved from PDP to APC cannot now be termed saints. They remain with stains and their corruption cases/allegations still hang on their neck and we hope they are eventually brought to justice. However, what is more important to Nigerians now is how they behave under new leadership and a new party with sane ideologies.

The question is, if PDP is not responsible for ruining Nigeria in the sixteen years it ruled, which party did?

Nigeria shall be great again!

wink2015:
[size=20pt]Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and his henchmen in government killed Nigeria financially. To the extent that states government in Nigeria are now struggling to pay salaries of its workers.

Another 4 years of President Jonathan as President of Nigeria would have been a disaster for Nigeria.

I am wondering why a corrupt man like Jonathan was invited to monitor Tanzania General election when there are corrupt cases against him back home in Nigeria.

All this difficulties President Buhari is facing trying to kick start his government is largely caused by Former President Jonathan and his corrupt pdp government.

Senator Murray Bruce with his desire to play to the gallery will just open his loud mouth and be criticising Buhari while ignoring the havoc caused by President Jonathan.

This corrupt allegation against Jonathan is just a tips of the iceberg more corrupt cases will surface as the Buhari administration carry out a review of the books.

President Buhari must intensify the anti-corruption war as that is only way the Nigeria nation can survive the effect of this intensive stealing.

Imagine Nigeria currently begging India to come and buy our oil when we should be feeding fat on the oil savings we have had all this years.

Young boi, it's people that made up a party and not animals. Freedom of association stipulated by law allows anyone to move from one party to another but that does not jettison that it was the PDP that ruled for 16 years because our law stipulated that we voted for a party. Three months ago that the news filtered that our refineries have started working 60%, in your demented brain do they call your name or any minister. The PDP said, it was the success of PDP and GEJ's administration and not APC or PMB. Please stop drinking this your Indian helm and Ogogoro, I saw the way you litter same message all over the comment port in reply to others comments. Your analogy is unlettered and senseless and unconstitutional. The buck stops at the table of the president and Nigerians voted for a party under the headship of an arrowhead, President. The successes of a nation is traced to a party in power and the headship and not those working for it. The bottom line is that PDP ruled the country for 16 years or you want to tell me it was DPP or PPD that ruled us for 16 years? better be reasonable in thinking than behaving like pig in national issue.
Please start teaching your children if they ask them who ruled the country between 2011 to 2015 as Amaechi, El-Rufai etc and if they ask them who ruled Rivers state between 2011 to 2015 as GEJ or OBJ. Olodo.

SLIDEwaxie:
Barcanista, u need a break before you shoot yourself in the foot again. You already caught yourself in the foolishness of your apt stupidity with many illogical and 'karmanic' analysis.

Now, if u will upgrade to a new version of brain on play store, then you will understand that you have said nothing apart from 'current affairs' while still accepting the fact that PDP's years of misrule destroyed Nigeria.

Dude, these are the questions for u:

1. Which party has been ruling since 16yrs?

2. What is the responsibility of the president?

3. Who is to blame?


Of course, I expected u to write one of your unreasonable and vaccumed-filled epistles just to answer three questions that should take more than 10 words.

You are dunce: I wonder why your followers haven't haven't figured that out!

Of course, I knw...jes gotta say I didn't.

aresa:
The million dollar question is Why were they not thieves and jailed under PDP and GEJ the commander in chief?

Why all of a sudden they are thieves because they joined the opposition?

You people are not making sense...

ihatesycophant:
You goofed by saying OBJ and Orji Uzor Kanu are members of APC. I would like to ask you, did OBJ declare that he was joining any political party when he torn PDP's card? The answer is NO. He even declare that he was now a statesman rather than been patisan. Giving support to APC does not amount to being in APC, there are many people that gave PDP support even from other political parties, does that amount that they are now in PDP? Uzor Kanu, never said he has defecting to APC, he even had primary election for senatorial district under PDP and also supported GEJ presidency publicly during 2015 elections. For you coming out now to tell us he's a member of APC is ridiculous.
Well, reeling out names of people that had held sway under PDP does not take away the failure of the PDP. I vividly remember in the late 2013 t0 2014, the house of Reps passed alot of resolutions about the state of the nation and what the executive could do and even told GEJ that under his watch corruption has eaten deep but instead what did he do to them, he was looking for ways to impeach Tanbuwal. Alison Madueke and Stella Oduah were called by House of Reps but they all declined the invitation and one even went to court for injunction to stop her probe. The next week GEJ came to TV to say the House of Reps cannot be intimidating his ministers on a frivolous and unfounded issues. Now who should we blame? Is it those doing their oversight functions but not giving chance by those the buck stops at their table? These are critical issues that this writer never put into perspective. Barcanista need to know that the buck stops at the table of the President. Nothing anyone can do without the know of the President. During the reign of OBJ, OBJ never shielded any of his minister or anyone working with him even state governors, anyone of them with issue of corruption were pushed into the net of EFCC but what we saw in the last dispensation was to the contrary. You may say it was a selective approach but at lease we saw that EFCC was in operation during his time and were able to track down high profile cases, Tafa Balogun, Alameseigha, James Ibori, Salisu Buhari and many more.
I only agreed with you that the new government should as a matter of urgency stop all the complain and nose poking and tackle the mess because people of Nigeria voted him to solve problems, if there is no problem we would not have needed him to mount the seat. Buhari government need to talk less and face the task ahead because no time to mess around but time for hard work and serious rebirth of our nation.
Again, we need not to also sky away from the current state of our nation and not tell ourselves what we weigh as a nation than lying to ourselves what we are not as they made us to understand during GEJ tenure. This will help individuals to brace up for the period of hard times than being expectant and at the long run experience failed promises. Today I find it so difficult to believe that our economy is the best in Africa because there is no corresponding effect on the lives of citizenry of the nation. I also find it laughable that investors are trouping into Nigeria because where is the corresponding effect in the labour market (at least the unemployment rate should have reduced drastically) and market force (price of goods are at the high side till date). These are lies and many we were told and still dealing with us till date by the last administration.

yazach:
Already, President Muhammadu Buhari’s resolve to rid Nigeria of corruptive elements is fast yielding results as billions of naira are being saved in the process.

Shortly after his inauguration, President Buhari ordered every Federal Government Ministry, Department and Agencies to start paying into a Treasury Single Account (TSA) for all government revenues, incomes and other receipts.

The Daily Times gathered that through the implementation of the TSA, a whopping N8 billion was uncovered in a single account in an old generation bank. The said amount is said to be operated in the name of a defence operation account.

A text message to the Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications of the bank, to authenticate the story, was not responded to as at press time. Similarly, Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, did not also respond to a text message sent to him to speak on the alleged uncovering of the amount in the bank as at press time.

Col. Rabe Abubakar, Acting Director of Defence Information was also contacted through a text message but failed to respond to it as at press time.

It would be recalled that President Buhari had earlier promised state governors at the inaugural meeting of the National Economic Council, NEC, in June, that all revenues prescribed for lodgement into the federation account will be treated as such under his watch and that he will ensure strict compliance with all relevant laws on accounting, allocation and disbursement.

Since then, the Presidency has worked with relevant agencies of the Federal Government to evolve this policy directive.

This directive applies to fully funded organs of government like the Ministries, Departments, Agencies and Foreign Missions, as well as the partially funded ones, like Teaching Hospitals, Medical Centres, Federal Tertiary Institutions, etc.

Agencies like the CBN, SEC, CAC, NPA, NCC, FAAN, NCAA, NIMASA, NDIC, NSC, NNPC, FIRS, NCS, MMSD, DPR are also affected.

For any agency that is fully or partially self-funding, Sub-Accounts linked to TSA are to be maintained at CBN and the accounting system will be configured to allow them access to funds based on their approved budgetary provisions.
