PoliticsRe: House Of Reps Members Angry With David Mark (video) by snowblack: 4:33pm On Nov 21, 2014
See Nigerians being played for fools. Does it benefit us taking sides in this matter? At the end of the day, politicians allegiance to the country must take precedence over their affiliation to the party. Stop taking sides and see past the illusion.
PoliticsRe: You Can’t Turn Any Section Of Our Roads Into Showrooms! Fashola Tells Auto Deale by snowblack: 4:18pm On Dec 31, 2013
owobokiri: Elite government at work; ultimatums, orders, warnings then bulldozers and we have our action governor! Just like that! Na fight? what happened to negotiations, consultations, deliberations and meetings to arive at business friendly decisions? Afterall the hardworking dealers will also pay taxes like the pedestrians that may include some vicious looking agberos.. Why the short fuss when certain traders are involved? Fashola opens his mouth and you get this impression that at his default setting, certain types of smes are seen as nothing but some sort of menace. That is fattaly wrong. Before a chief executive kills a busines in this country, he should oblige us with the number of businesses his policies hve helped to create.
Dumb logic! Get off the road or get bulldozed…your choice.

I reckon construction is still in progress, perhaps you should reserve your judgement till after completion.

PoliticsRe: Lagos-badagry Expressway To Be Closed On Sunday by snowblack: 2:59pm On Oct 11, 2013
Originalsly: That's an international route and everything possible should.be done to keep the traffic moving. Is there nothing that can be done? How much would it cost for 200 meter detour road...which can later be used for emergency/rest stop? Would this not be killing two birds with one stone? Maybe this was all accounted for in the costs of the contract but when time to deliver this is what we get. This is how I reason...guess we don't see eye to eye....thats wby you have yours and I have mine and we both have Nairaland.
Guy leave matter, you are clueless...

I am offering tailoring services to our reps, obviously you cant go into the chambers with an agbada with single stitching, you need quad-stitiching to ensure your outfit remain intact after a scuffle.

I suspect its social proof otherwise known as herd mentality whereby individuals in a group can act together without planned direction. Folks like yourself need to go against the grain and chart new ways. wink

Sincere 9gerian: Vandalism has now reached alarming level. I seriously suspect the anti-development elements in APC are behind these vandalisms. I hope these bad elements in the society will have a change of heart
Do you have any proof to "seriously" back up this claim?

SportsRe: Super Eagles Threaten To Boycott Confederations Cup Over Bonus by snowblack: 8:11pm On Jun 13, 2013
thelastPope: Nope! Incompetence is like 30%. The truth of the matter is, Nigerian sponsors do not have or are not ready to commit such funds yet. Remember what happened to viewership rights during the last AFCON where Nigeria stations had to boycott it? They couldnt meet up because the sponsors could not or did not want to afford it
Perhaps you're right but I get the sense that NFF is not operational, they are simply there to scrape and claw at whatever little funds are available. I bet with someone competent at the helm, opportunities will be created where you and i cant see. With a football loving nation of our size you have to question the NFF efforts at reviving our league where millions can be made from sponsorships, domestic/regional TV rights etc
If we can export our entertainment in form of Nollywood and Music, then why not Football?

SportsRe: Super Eagles Threaten To Boycott Confederations Cup Over Bonus by snowblack: 7:53pm On Jun 13, 2013
thelastPope: It doesnt work that way! The NFF is an independent body that gets some fund from FIFA and some from sponsorship. They are not as wealthy as you think. The FG donates some monies to them from time to time but it isnt that much. That is not to say some of them aint corrupt. But they are not that wealthy and most times, do not have enough to run the several competitions from under 13 to super eagles, including the women's teams. With their insistence on being independent, the FG is less and less involved. The presidency had to bail them out the last nations cup. Nigeria national teams do not get sponsorship like the English or French or Brazillian national teams.
And who's fault is it that NFF lacks slush funds? Is not all due to their incompetence to run the organization properly?

NFF needs to grow up...this is not the frame of mind players should be in while preparing for a tournament.
