But what's with all these celebrities playing chess under bridge when they have the money to take the homeless kids away from the brigde and set them up
Do you have the idea of the number of people in slums? How many can he rehabilitate? The best they can do is what they are doing? identify with them, make donations from time to time to assist them in certain ways and encourage them to on how to break out of the slum life.
SATANICALLY: 2023: Northerners Who Benefited From Tinubu's Rice Endorse Amaechi For President
This looks like the game plan by Buhari and the Northern power brokers. Remember, when it comes to politics in Nigeria the north are the masters of the game.
Buhari to impose Amaechi on APC, PDP to bring out Atiku
Landslide victory for Atiku/North. Buhari never meant for power to leave the North.
I repeat the only non-northerner in APC that can defeat Atiku is Tinubu. Since APC cannot present another northerner, the only obvious strategy is to deny Tinubu the ticket and bring out a feather weight from the south to contest against Atiku.
Lightorder: oga , go back to Oshogbo! You have no stake in Lagos. No job , you don’t pay tax and have little or no property in Lagos . So , who dey talk? 90% of the properties in my area, is now owned by settlers. Your brothers have almost sold their destinies. Shutup!
I always smile when I hear own land, own land in Lagos. I hope you know nobody actually owns land in Lagos state? The land belongs to the government. Its actually on lease to you, a lease that can be revoked by the Lagos state government if need be (I stand to be corrected on this one though).
Reflect7: This whole practice of the Ukrainian govt forcing all men aged 18 to 60 to remain in the country and 'fight' is fascist, authoritarian, and a clear human rights violation. That the UN and other rights organisations have been silent on this is scandalous, appalling and disgusting.
You know not what you say sir. Look up the word Conscription, It is enshrined in most constitutions of the world.
You let there be war in Nigeria and see if you will not be conscripted into the the armed force.
Kingozymandias: It's not the turn of the Southsouth, it's the turn of the southeast. The silence of the Southeast should worry everyone .. rightfully it's our turn to elad this great nation.. we are not more bedeviled with problems than any other tribe yet we are being denied our rightful shot at the fixing this nation . Some people have asked me have we fixed the southeast ? I laugh because other regions have ruled yet they are still battling myriad problems so why are my people being denied our turn?
Salty suddenly zoning that has been used by every region to secure the slot has been jettisoned now it's the turn of my people and it Futher makes us feel disenfranchised and and marginalized.
Then tomorrow you turn around and wonder why sesssionists had such a willing ear in the people to listen?
You can't deny a people their rights and make them feel less and expect them to willingly want to stay in Nigeria .. that is wrong and tantamount to bullying.
Who in his or her right conscience can say it's not the turn of the Igbos ? Please who can in good honest faith say this ?
Why push a people so hard to the point just telling yourself they can do nothing ? Really ? A nation can never be built by brute force but by inter Corporations and unity. Let me tell you my fellow NIGERIANS , IPOB didn't have up to 10% of the Igbo people support forget those iliterate touts and their social media propaganda. But to deny my people our right this time around for whatever reason is telling the remaining 90% of us who rejected ipob that maybe just maybe those touts have a point.
Yes power isn't given ,yes I agree but as ever other region had it zoned to them and a consensus picked so should it be done for the Southeast. To deny us our right is to do what Chinese is doing to Taiwan, to do what Israel doing to Palestine, to do what ImUAE is doing to shites..
Forget whatever we tell ourselves, each and every one of you my fellow country men and women know it's the turn of my people. I would have taught the great Asiwaju a defender of justice would have picked an Igbo man as his chosen candidate, that would have sent the message that he recodnizes that's it's rightfully our turn and that he stands for justice.
Anyways it's his right to run for office but like I said, to deny us is going to send a very strong message to every single Igbo man, woman ,boy and girl child that we are not recodnized and wanted in this country and I am afraid that would have a very dire repercussions in inter ethnic relations . I don't think buhari is in support of it not being an Igbo person infact I am shocked to admit from his a tions one can deduce he feels rightly it should be an Igbo person..
Alas time will tell
You made good points. But presidency, especially in the present day Nigeria is not handed to anybody on platter. Up till now, we have not seen any serious minded person showing interest from the SE.
On a normal day, this is the right time for whoever is serious from SE region to start pushing and be making himself heard so the noise of zoning to SE can get louder but alas! the reverse is the case, the potential good candidates are all quiet.
Mind you, for south east presidency to succeed it needs serious consultation e.g with a certain Jagaban from the SW and the power brokers from the north. Cajole them, rub their ego and play on their sentiment BUT not threatening them.
davodyguy: Just as unknown Yar Adua quashed him in 2007 and GEJ defeated him in the PDP primary in 2010
Yar Adua had the backing of the northern cabal, the presidency + serious hatred of Atiku from the vindictive OBJ.
GEJ rode on the 'victim' sentiment + support from the masses and most importantly the MASTER politicking from the northern masters of the game of politics. i.e allow GEJ do 4 years and claim he has finished the turn of the south and let the power return back to the north for 8 years.
None of those people up there can sway the vote of the north to their sides with Atiku coming out from PDP (except PDP decides not to present him, which would be foolish of them anyway). Even many northern APC members will secretly mobilize for Atiku.
Ok. Please can you help us ask Mr. Marksman how much more do we need to bring so as to either make SEC unfreeze the account or to invest in other sectors so that our old money can come out.
But as a fellow Yorùbá man like him, I hope he doesn't become our president. Any of Osinbajo, Fashola, Fayemi, Amaechi, Rochas, I am cool with
All of you writing these things are either not being sincere with yourselves or you are trying to be clever by half.
Tell me who among those you listed up there stands any chance against Atiku?
The only way, they can have a fighting chance is if PDP presents another candidate aside Atiku, But if Atiku remains the flag bearer of PDP (as it will automatically be) then for any of the above to win they would need the full federal might, unbreakable unity in APC which would mean Tinubu and Buhari camps will be fully united in backing such individual. But any variant in support from any of these 2 groups then you know all these people mentioned up there are paper weights, APC would be handing the presidency to Atiku on a platter of gold.
Can somebody please tell me what these people always recording with their phones usually use such videos for? I don't get it, any small thing you see people bringing out phones. Dem go go house go dey watch again abi wetin.
charlypoker: Professor werey............................well done sir.......................what have u used the english you were taught in school to achieve?
If only you knew what I have used my education to achieve in life, you would lick the ground I tread.
Passionnn: This is what happens at the end of the day: You crave for political power- no matter how tiny. Somehow providence smiled at you. You got admitted into the circle. You are never satisfied. You keep craving for more. It gets to a point, your craving overwhelms you. You lost it. You become tone deaf. Any objective voice of reason suddenly gives discordant tune. You crave to be in the centre of the circle, obliterating your predecessors and any dissenting voice until you are eventually consumed.
Good command of English. I can't remember the last time I read anything here so excellently composed. In fact, I had to double check to be sure I'm still on Nairaland.
Anybody preparing for any English examination needs to avoid this site like a plague

timay1: The feelings of the protesting country doesn't matter. According to the letter of the law written by FIFA themselves, any country that boycott will be banned, just like Nigeria was banned for 2 years when we boycotted AFCON 1996 in SA because of the Apartheid brouhaha then. Even though Nigeria's action was for a just cause.
If the case gets to CAS, the CAS will look at it from a logical and factual POV, and not from emotions, which will make CAS to overturn the decision.
The only thing they can do is to prevent CAS from hearing that case at all by postponing the hearing to a far date. Because once CAS hears that case, FIFA will loose
This is totally a different case from that of Nigeria sir. It's human beings that are in CAS and they know it is easy to ban 1 country than ban 16 countries and still counting. Right now the whole world is emotionally geared towards Ukraine and no member of that CAS would want to be seen as a "devil" banning countries rising up against "devil Putin".
Come to think of it, let's assume they reinstate Russia and they ban like 20 countries from participating in World cup, how the world cup wan be? Even Qatar that want to host the world cup can tell you to move it elsewhere if Russia is coming (because it will no more be economically viable to host the world cup again with the likes of England, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands etc not participating.
Everything is politics and money matters my brother, Russia remains banned no matter where they take the case to. Except this their issue with Ukraine is resolved quickly maybe within the next 1 month which I don't see happening.
Just for clarity purpose. Nigeria was never banned by FIFA, we were suspended by CAF from participating in Nations cup, all along we were still playing qualifying matches for world cup. Nigeria went on to play in France 98 and even emerged as Group D winner despite being banned by CAF from participating in Nations cup Burkina Faso 98
Kingpin1000: When it comes to smaller countries, FIFA will ban them for political interference. Today they are the ones bringing politics into football. Our eyes are wide open to the deceit of the west.
Fifa was forced to take that decision. They initially proposed neutral venue and under another name instead of Russia, but 16 countries made it clear they cannot play against Russia now under any circumstance.
Should Fifa then ban 16 countries for not wanting to play Russia or Ban Russia to save face?
Stevenson20: This corrupt politician again Go and rest your time don pass. I don't even know between you and Tinubu who's even more desperate to loot us dry. We need fresh and able guys to lead us this time.
Make all of una getat
The old man has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged you 'youth' to contest, after all its a democracy
You people will follow band wagon to rant online but election time you will either not go to the polling booth (that's if you even have pvc) or you will still vote for the same Atiku after collecting coins from his reps
djon78: And you think the president doesn't have the final say?
If Buhari doesn't support Tinubu, he will not even win the primaries talkless of presidential election
President's don't play with there successors And the president controls the machinery, everything even inec
So you guys just pray the president supports una principal. But as it stands now, the cabal in the seat of power runs everything and it seems the president has there listening ear
jaxxy: Seems u are confused. How is what ur definition said different from what I said it was?
I said the marriage was never consummated cos there was no intercourse. Which is also what ur definition equally said.
U in the other hand said since they had children it was consummated. Bt there was no sexual intercourse?
I think u should try to understand what ur definition said.
I said that because if it's not that you are just trying to justify not knowing the meaning of consummate but that you actually think there was no sexual intercourse involved in the relationship for over 4 years, then there is no point for any argument.
Consummate: To make (marital union) complete by sexual intercourse
So for a marriage that already produced 3 kids and you said the marriage has not been consummated, that's how I guessed you didn't know what it means to consummate a marriage.
