Whoever advised SIM Fubara to decamp to APC did so well. I knew this marriage will not work for too long as Woke will be too powerful within two parties same time and there will be conflict of interest

The road was awesome, I really don't know how the driver was so much on high speed, went to hit the truck packed beside the road. This is what happened.

So, at first, we all were very terrified, so, we had to pack to quickly see how we could rescue the remaining persons if they'll be alive, cos immediately two were gushing out blood severely

Lol... The most important thing is the knowledge, it doesn't matter the source

Thank you

IyaTola:
That interpretation isn’t entirely accurate. Defenders attacking the ball in the air doesn’t automatically mean they don’t trust the goalkeeper. In many defensive systems, especially against teams that overload the box, defenders are instructed to be aggressive and attack first contact, regardless of who is in goal.

Nwabali’s role in those situations is often to hold his line and protect against second balls, not necessarily to come and claim every cross. That’s a tactical choice, not a lack of confidence. If the keeper steps out and misses, it’s a guaranteed big chance — coaches prefer controlled risk.

Also, aerial dominance isn’t just about claiming crosses. Positioning, timing, communication, and decision-making matter just as much. Nwabali has shown strong shot-stopping, composure under pressure, and consistency, which are critical qualities for a tournament goalkeeper.

As for Okoye, yes, he plays at a higher club level and has good attributes, but club football and international football demand different things. International football often prioritizes reliability and chemistry with the back line over flair or league pedigree.

So while Okoye may be more rounded in some areas, Nwabali’s selection can be justified tactically based on system fit, defensive structure, and the specific demands of the team — not simply trust or lack thereof.

I must say, I truly enjoyed your write-up

This is the nation new tax policies wants to be implemented starting from January 1, 2026

Like, reading the comment section, you'll clearly the reasoning of most persons. So, because he's a pastor, he shouldn't date a lady? He wasn't in marriage either. Infact, the lady himself stated that she so much love the pastor in question and not the other way round. Like normal human being, they had their moments and businesses...

See a pastor as a normal human being. The said pastor is a man and how he chooses his kind of woman to marry he is choice! The lady in question should even be arrested for not keeping the tenets of marriage. You were married and not allowing your husband to sleep with you cos you thought your hope is in another man's house. See foolishness and you now expect the Pastor to marry you and when he travels for ministration, he remembers your behaviour with your first husband... The lady could just develop another likeness for someone else and treat the pastor with same kind of treatment she gave her ex husband. The Pastor here has everything to lose and not her, reasons she's trending now trying to break him. The lady has nothing to lose. If you give her money right now, she'll be quiet and that's what she wants

Until we understand you're a child of God, you'll not rate pastors as too significant. You're an apple in the eyes of God. Carry yourself that way and not elevating a pastor unnecessary

From your narration, you've not even understood yourself and your goals as a person. I tell people, before you talk about relationship or marriage, first understand your goals and vision after you've understudy yourself. This is when you now say, I now need a partner who also understands these set goals and vision. When I was receiving less than 50k was when i started dating and I don't miss setting those goals and placing them on the table for these ladies to see, I say ladies for a reason... It's now their choice to stay or move. Ladies kept coming, when I say ladies, I meant those that understand vision and purpose, some even earn higher than myself as of that time. I just had to chose the one my heart longed for

So, if I don't understand my journey, anyone can come along or I chase any lady, maybe one that's available... If you don't understand your purpose first, how do you even want those ladies to understand? Ladies too are humans who wants more than just romance, they have dreams too, they want a resting shoulder, they want a whole lots of things... You need to show them that you can be the right person for them and this isn't done with money!

Falana is actually right. Nyesome Wike was performing is statutory functions as FCT MINISTER, but, what I condemn is always the use of foul languages by public servants. Calling a Lieutenant a phool is very arrogant.

Our public servants need to start understanding that they're here to serve us and not to keep búllying Nigerians

Like, how true is this? If true Sha, where is the empathy here?

It ought to be so, but, uptill now, the government hasn't even elaborated on the remittance principles, the only information widely out there is, the tax will be collected annually! Hence, every of your transactions should have receipts from buying of PMS to entering of public transport, etc.

I neva see where Lagos Public transporter dey give receipt sha

New Tax Policy 2025: Why Pastors, Imams & Minstrels Must Pay Tax on Honorarium

In the new tax policy set to begin on January 1st, 2025, religious leaders are not exempted. Whether you’re an Imam, Pastor, Minstrel, Music Minister, or Instrumentalist, your honorarium will now be taxed.

The government needs more revenue, and the tax net has been widened to include everyone.

Remember, as they say: “Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.” Anyone who tries to boycott paying tax, whether intentionally or unintentionally, could face jail time. That will be your own headache.

This is why I’m taking time to educate everyone who cares to listen.

I’ve packaged a detailed YouTube video that explains exactly how religious leaders will be taxed under this scheme called Honorarium Taxation.

👉 Watch the video, learn, and drop your thoughts in the comment section. I’ll see you there!

Like I said previously, ensure to get enough information about this tax policy so as not to be a prey

Starting January 1, 2025, Nigeria’s new tax policy will officially take effect, and this time, ignorance is no excuse. The Federal Government has widened the tax net, ensuring that no one is spared. With the integration of BVN, TIN, and NIN, tracking income and financial inflows has never been easier for tax authorities.

Here’s the big shocker: anyone earning N800,000 annually (or N66,667 monthly) will now fall under this tax bracket, with deductions ranging from 20% to 25%. That means whether you are employed, self-employed, or earning through side hustles, you’ll need to understand how your tax will be calculated and deducted directly.

This new policy affects everyone, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and professionals alike. While we’ll break down specific implications for religious leaders, pastors, imams, and minstrels in another post, this video explains step-by-step how you can calculate your tax under the new framework.

👉 Don’t be caught unprepared. Watch the video, learn the calculation, and start planning your finances now.

Nigeria is already grappling with the painful realities of fuel subsidy removal, soaring transport costs, skyrocketing food prices, unaffordable rent, and stagnant wages. Yet, as if the pressure wasn’t enough, the government has now proposed a new tax reform policy to take effect from January 1, 2026.

This new policy seeks to tax 20% of annual income, a move that could worsen the financial burden of the average Nigerian. While taxation is meant to drive fiscal growth and fund infrastructure, the big question remains:

👉 What are the tangible benefits of the subsidy removal to ordinary Nigerians today?
👉 How will this new tax reform improve lives rather than deepen hardship?

The government owes Nigerians clear answers. For two years now, citizens have endured untold hardship under the guise of subsidy removal, with little or no visible relief measures. Now, before introducing another heavy tax policy, Nigerians deserve to know how these sacrifices will translate into better roads, affordable healthcare, stable electricity, and job opportunities.

This isn’t just about policy, it’s about survival. Nigerians are resilient, but resilience should not be mistaken for acceptance.

I've said it countless times, summer should not be in the class rooms. It's an opportunity for your child or ward to experience another aspect of education, away from Physics, Chemistry, Maths and the likes. Take your child to mechanic workshops, music and instrumentals, coding boot camps, artistic studios and many more. This will significantly form a major part of their career lives and also add immensely to their professional experiences as they grow. Everything must not be book and whiteboard

Jake Paul has just shocked the boxing world, turning his back on Anthony Joshua and instead calling out Gervonta Davis. But the drama doesn’t stop there. Fans are now speculating that Netflix is secretly fueling the chaos, with whispers of a leaked mega-deal behind this sudden move.

Is Jake Paul playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers? Or has he simply sparked another storm of controversy for views and headlines?

In the total transaction, how much did he invest? You said last sales as if it didn't start from the first sale

Abeg, no vex! I think say na question we dey ansa, I no know say fight don enta!

He made just $10 and that's from the last sales

KWAM 1 act was more dangerous and shameful. It was a nationwide embarrassment, but, uptill now, no serious sanction where even the pilot has been ban allegedly for life, days later, they're banning a lady who is a nobody without fair hearing or court hearing. If the lady has a good lawyer, she might just have a case here cos we've only heard from one side

The justice system must be equal to everyone

So, why not communicate with her formally!

Na #17 Presco shock me pass - a company making over a billion dollars by planting and processing palm oil! When I imagine how we can invest massively in palm oil and make billions of dollars from it yet everyone is running to Abuja to share $50 billion of petrodollars every year, I feel terrible about the kind of leaders we have. That's why I keep arguing that blacks are not fit for self-rule!

That company, Presco Plc drain lives. I grew up in Ologbo. You can't boast of any youth working there with a smile. They just work without option

This is beautiful, especially for consumption. Thanks for sharing

As simple as this may sound, the response might not come easily

This is why we should keep speaking truth to power. You can't get true development when some questions are left unanswered. Those unanswered questions is what breeds corruption

Passing to A for me is the best option, it gives proper control of the ball and allows for multiple options while approaching the goal post

Tradition and Culture are diversified...varying from one culture to the other.

While your tradition kills Twins as you claimed and as reported in some parts of Nigeria's history, giving Mary Slessor's account and her intervention in stopping the killings...Do you know that the same twins born in South West Nigeria were being celebrated and their mother becomes goddess especially if they are triplets. You can Google Igboora in Oyo State..the town with the most twins in the world!

What I am saying is, cultures are different , dismembering the parts of late King for rituals for a new King are myths..and it's not in our own Cultures anymore. Many Oba's have joined their ancestors in Yoruba land of recent, from Ooni, to Alaafia, to Soun, to Olubadan...did you hear anyone buried with them

So, please, our tradition and culture are different...anyone not ready to follow tradition should stay clear of Obaship stool. It's for traditionalist and not Christians or Muslims.

Maybe you should find time to read up while the late Awujale refused to be buried in his customs and tradition since you claimed dismembering of Kings in Yorubaland have stopped. Atleast, I still read the words of another kings praising the late monarch for his bravery and gave some insights to why he supported the late monarch

Can you categorically tell me that human heads are no longer buried alongside with kings when they die in Yorubaland? And why did a king of recent made references to it while praising the late monarch for his bravery and stands for humanity

We should not be scared to call out our culture if we see some areas that needs to be addressed. Like I said previously, The Customs s d tradition of a place is made by the people and can also be amended by the people. Any part of our culture and tradition that is against humanity and morality should be resisted henceforth by all means

adioolayi:
It's well with our tradition..


You saw what an Oba entails...you decided to run the race, do all of the rites and became one..

You enjoyed the authority and all affluence attached to the throne...

You performed traditional rites and all..
Everything dey sweet you

When you come see say you are nearing old age and death is knocking, you used your position to change the goal post and severe the relationship with the tradition...you chose 'foreign' rites over traditional rites.

Well, this one is gone...the Afobaje's should ensure the next possible Awujale go sign agreement not to go against Tradition under any guise. This should be part of requirements.

If you can't sign this... It's not by force...leave Oba stool alone

So, you're saying it's traditional to bury the late king with human head abi? I just pray none of your family member be a victim...

Our tradition should not be devilish or seek for human blood! How do you dismember a dead body into different parts and you call that a tradition. Tradition can be questioned and policies amended. With time, many traditions will be obsolete and they'll outlive their relevance once it's against humanity. Once upon a time in Delta State, there was a tradition that kill twins once they're born, I grew up there. Infact, a close relation of mine twin survived as when the wife was pregnant, then, no technology to know the gender, he Sha figured it somehow and took the wife to Benin, after years of delivery, he took the twin back to Delta State. This happened with fear, until this cultural law was challenged. Today, the twin are over 28yrs of age, handsome boys which could have been killed my the culture and tradition of the land

People make laws and people can changed it once it's against humanity and morality

Any tradition that don't depict morality should be discarded. Why should heads of the living be use to bury a king? Sometimes, it's even heads of travellers and strangers. Ev!l in the name of culture?

While I celebrate our cultural heritages across states and regions, any culture against morality and humanity should be revised and as a matter of fact, changed. That is how proper culture should be, our culture should frown against ev!l and not upholding it

Igbanke being in Edo state does not make them Benin people.
Igbanke people will not appreciate it to be called Benin people.
If you call them Ika people,they will thank you for that.
