Who else if not the greatest of all time.

Football Greatest of All Time top 5:

1. Lionel Messi
2. Pele
3. Maradona
4. Delima Ronaldo
5. C. Ronaldo

Lies, Messi is obviously the best player ever in the history of soccer with C. Ronaldo in the second spot.

I watches Delima very well during his playing time, he was a great footballer but not close to CR7. As for Pele and Maradona, they were just great in their moments, and not really played at highest level in clubs aspects.

So the investors are bringing their money to Tinubu's house or rather helping vulnerable Nigerians like you to get work?

Tick is killing itself but thought it's killing dog.

So you people actually wish Nigeria bad??

That is the point, some people are just so irrational, they forgot that president will only spend a specific period of time but the country remain ours and incoming generations.

Varunpulyani:
Bola has bought the courts in Nigeria.

The only tool is to continue to expose him internationally even to potential investors

Why will you wish your country bad because of a man that will only spend 4yrs or at most 8 years?

Is it not the jobless masses that will suffer for it, if investors keep running aways?

Keep exposing him ignorantly, while at the same time painting yourself and incoming generations bad in outside world.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Poor aesthetics.

Exactly, not impressive at all.

This is a partially false, most of the people living paycheck to paycheck are always in disarray when they lose their jobs. The citizens are paid monthly when unemployed but sometimes that money may not be enough, so they have to work to live above their cost of living. A lot of Europeans get loans for vacation, then travel. They start working to repay those loans in years or months, that is difficult as well.

Regarding pensions, It works perfectly abroad & that one I can speak for.

You actually need enough liquid cash, investments to live a safe & comfortable life. Don't let anyone deceive you with this European lifestyle. For example, most African parents who relocated don't take student loans, they pay their kids tuition fully so as to enable their kids build wealth in the future.

European system is good, but it is not perfect.

Ideally, an average human need absolutely nothing in this life but good foods, shelter and sex, which their systems has already taken care of irrespective of your social status. You cant promote the culture of wealth accumulation and build egalitarian society that is free of needless crimes, this is where Africans failed totally.

The reason you think paycheck is bad, is because you are looking forward to build wealth or living above your means. The reason you think accumulation of wealth is very important is merely because of fear of future, which is very understandable in this part of the world. Their societies are designed in such a way that you don't have any reason to accumulate wealth because you will be taking care of when you retire, and your children too would be well taking care of.

The rich among them also prioritise their societies because luxury comes with heavy taxes.

Finally, if their way of living by paycheck is not that good, then why are we living in poverty in Africa where there is no such opportunity? If their system is not that good, why are they progressing, while we that aften sees fault in them retrogressing? Why are we rushing to the same countries but fail to learn anything good from them?

Pele

So what was done and supported by them to 900 Israelis was what "playcide"?


I grew up hating Muslims with all my life.

At a point in time,I gradually started having more Muslim friends than Christians.

I discovered there are Muslims that are actually good people.
Then I decided that "Bad Muslims" with evil ideologies are the ones that deserve to be killed.

Muslims who attacked and killed people in hundreds deserve to be burnt to dust.

It is easy to say when you are on neutral position. War is never a solution, both parties should stop killing immediately.

I watch it live for the first time this afternoon, things were not good in both sides. Innocent people from both sides are paying heavily for the crimes thay don't commit. There is need to stop the war now and embrace peace.

BornAgainCow:
Depends on what you went there for. But I can tell you no place like home (Nigeria) at the end of the day.

These advanced countries can turn you into a slave working the rest of your life to pay taxes and service debt without ever experiencing true wealth.

In few short years since I’ve been back to Nigeria I have experienced progress at a rate that would have been almost impossible over there. You see the advantage Nigeria has over those counties is that it’s easier to cut corners here. As long as you have the right connects 😉

Fortunately, you don't need to amassed wealth to enjoy good things life can offer, that is the basic philosophy of developed countries we all are running to now. All you need is working system that will take care of you at old age.

Until Africans are able to solve their physiological needs, we will continue to lag behind on the scale of development. Foods and shelter should be the last worry of an average human being in a functioning society.

Calabar1stSon:
38 fingers for 1k from the West. Maybe I live in a different West because that plantain would cost around 4-5k if not even more sef.

Exactly, could be a stolen plantain because no where in SW you will see such for 1k, not even at extreme rural areas.

ahnie:
We so rushed him that baba had to make 4 trips
We don book ham down

Could be a stolen plantain selling to him because I don't see anywhere in the West one will get this quantity of plantains for 1000, not even at farm gate.

What did he use the money to buy other than properties and luxurious cars.

Remove the individual right to luxuries and private properties and see African prosperity.

Theunbothered:
I don't care what is ceremonial in the American system, in NIGERIA when applying for a government position through INEC your degree certificate is NOT CEREMONIAL.

Using third party vendors to create documents without the knowledge of the institution is PERJURY, which you have at least admitted Tinubu did.

You are also ignoring the fact that the HIGHEST OFFICE IN NIGERIA was obtained by use of inauthentic documents.

What you are seemingly defending is textbook ELECTORAL FRAUD.

Guy wetin happen nah! Don't you read their submissions before arguing blindly ni?

Has the school not authenticate the same result?

Has the school not clarified their position on vendors or third party agents?

Is like you are here catching cruise.

tishbite42:
You must have classmates
I too had a nomadic education but I have classmates

How would you know them if they don't come out themselves? Even if they could remember the year, how do you expect them to recognize you after 50 years of age.

The only people you can be sure of are your childhood friends.

Theunbothered:
Damn you are slow.

The university has already said they know nothing about Tinubu's certificate he used to register with INEC because it is a FRUAD.

If you completed NYSC but got someone at a business centre to make a new certificate for you it is still invalid.

What about this is so hard to understand?

The school said they don't keep their students certificates, because it is regarded as ceremonial in American system. What they normally keep in their record is student transcripts. According to them, re-issueing of certificates can be done through their third party agents or vendors.

This laterally means that the vendors has the power to issue these certificates to you in various forms since it is mere ceremonial. Any company or employer doubting about it can request for transcripts for authentication.The registrer even took his time to explain further on the issue of GENDER by stating clearly that there was no way his SSN would indicate Male from his South west college certificate and that of CSU if the person they admitted was female.

Please try to re-visit the page and read slowly to your own understanding.

Theunbothered:
Me I don't want to believe your God is one of dishonest and I don't believe liars like Tinubu should be anywhere near government.

Stop being an enabler of fraud. The electoral act States clearly your certificates and not forgeries must be presented in order to contest, it is the law!

If you don't have them too bad!

Presenting a fake document in order to contest in the Presidential elections is perjury.

Though, i don't like involving in polical arguments on social medias because I have a future to protect. But why are you still saying he forge the certificate after the school he attended has certified to it? Don't you think it is a dubious way of taking the glory, since you know someone actually attended a school, summited a document that bears the name of the same school, clearly certified by the same school but insisted it was forged because of humans errors and physical looks can be found in any other certificate?

It is so unfortunate that in 21st century, some people still think that re-issued certificate will bear the same colour, shape, logos and signatures. Something I had knew since over 20 years. I doff my hat for for you guys.

Anyway, those that have wisdom, understanding and not ruled by emotional has already gave their verdicts about the issue.

Theunbothered:
Unfortunately for you the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria requires greater scrutiny than "To whom". If they don't have their records then they don't fit the requirements to contest, being president of Nigeria is not by force, especially when you have nothing to offer.



https://www.nairaland.com/7865010/replacement-diplomas-done-outside-vendors

You don't get the point. My point is that, people should stop assuming these old men don't go to primary or secondary schools because they could not properly trace their records. We youths may not understand this now until be grow old like them.

Once the schools they attended certified their attendance, I don't think anyone need to waste time on it anymore. Power belongs to God, it gives whoever he deem fit. It is quite illogical and against the law of nature to legitimately lose a battle but cunningly wanted to steal the glory. It is needless to be seeking dubious means to attain power except when it is on the basis of proving electoral malpractice and massive rigging. I think INEC still have a lot of work to do concerning this in future. It should be their duty to verify and certified a candidate before they allow them to contest primary elections. If we don't do this, the position of authority will cease to reflect the choice of the masses.

Theunbothered:
So a graduate of a University will spend 4 years in school yet refuse to pick up their certificate after finishing and you believe that?

God you people are stupid as hell.

I suppose this person is also lying abi? https://www.jcoydenreports.com/blog/nigerian-presidents-csu-diploma-is-a-fake

I never picked up my original B.sc certificate till the moment. Only using 'To whom'. It is easy for me to go and collect it anytime I need it than misplacing it and be looking for affidavit up and down later in life.

I have seen many mistakes in people results including that of my elder brother. Another example, I didn't do junior WAEC as it was popularly called back then, something happened to me during this period, and I had to start from SS1 class the following session at another school. The primary school I attended is no longer in existence.

If I want to contest for president tomorrow, oppositions can just come up to say I didn't go to primary and secondary schools, and some of you people will believe them withiout taking time to reason. Aside that, alot of civil servants back then don't have permanent places of work like today. They post them to different location every 3 to 7 years, and these people normally move with their families to different locations that works took them to. Their children attended various schools as a result, and this could make them not to have regular school records.

My point is that, it is possible for these old men not to have history of their primary and secondary school records.

ednut1:
Until we start shooting corrupt people like they do in china. This will never end

It won't still work, it would only increase the price for bribes. Nigerians are too corrupt beyond imagination.

The only way to reduce this by 80% is to remove reasons to steal. The right for luxury or private properties must be removed for Nigeria and Africa to move forward. We are naturally born that way in this part of the world.

If you check very well, you will discover that 95% of those embezzled public fund are using it to acquire properties. Infact, life would've been so simple and enjoyable by everyone if we don't think of accumulating properties. This is the secrete of developed western countries.

GeneralDae:
That was in 1999.

And you think he is that daft to have summited what is not real this time around?

I don't think the like of Tinubu will make such mistakes having know that there was wrong spelling in his credentials. This might be the reason he summited affidavit, because he knew the opposition will surely use it against him.

I think I read somewhere that Tinubu only summited affidavit of his CSU certificate. If that is the case, whatever release to Atiku is of no use in the court.

Besides, they can only use B.sc result to judge him since it is only credential he summited to inec.

This is what we've been saying, for this country to move forward, alot of people especially the youths needs proper political education in order for them to know their right from their state and local governments administrators. People are hell bent in pointing fingers at FG, while the governors and local governments keep capitalising on their ignorance to continue looting the fund meant to improve their lives.

Alot of them are on Nairaland, one was even saying Tinubu can make them accountable.

EmekaStanley:
Almost all the backward nations in the world are troubled nations. Unfortunately, some of these troubled nations are suffering as a result of conspiracy from foreigners, with support from locals.

One of the reasons why King David of Israel was not able to build God's temple during his reign was because he was always at war with both neighbors and distant nations.

When Solomon resumed kingship, God gave him inner peace within and stability on all his borders. This is why, in addition to his wisdom, he was able to achieve great success as Israel's king.

The value of peace and stability cannot be over-emphasized. Peace and stability is needed for Nigeria to move forward.

Let the courts do justice to all the cases in their domains so that the winning government can concentrate to work.

The government should also add great push to curb terrorist activities in affected areas.

As a matter of urgency, let all hands be on deck to restore the economic prosperity of our dear nation. Only then can we grow, develop and achieve our goals.

On this independence day, I have only prayer for Nigeria;

May the land of Nigeria fight those who do not want her to move forward.

ES

Thanks for your patriotism. Simple but full of wisdom.

ehikwe22:
Are you a joker? Do you know how much it takes for governance? States don't have enough funds to do all these things. For example, tell me any state in Nigeria that can fund state police or generate own electricity by themselves from the federal allocation? They're not doing business because they know that at the end of the day, they'll share from the common wealth. Put all these responsibilities on states and see how they must sit up or perish. If State A starts performing at optimal, state B will sit up or face the wrath of their citizens. There would be more and the non innovative states would be exposed

Ok, bye.

ehikwe22:
States don't have power. FG has all the power. If we must prosper in this american system of government, there must be devolution of power as too much power at the center is ineffective. Well meaning Nigerians have been crying for resource control and true federalism but the northern dominated national assembly has been clamping down on it. Every sensible Nigerian knows this is the only solution to Nigeria's woes - in that case, having a Buhari or Tinubu as president will not have as much impact

The basic needs of humans existence and everything needed to build both capital and humans resources are well within power of states and local governments to implement.

Education, health, commerce and industry, sports, entertainment, infrastructure, agriculture, culture and tourism, security to some extent and most recently power generation are all in cucurent list.

So tell me why must you always focus on federal government instead of holding your state governors and local governments authorities responsible? You talked about resources control, fine, and that is absolutely necessary to achieve true federalism but what has your governors being doing with billions of monthly allocation from federal account? Must it always be "natural resources "? What about humans and other capital resources that these highly corrupt governors failed to invest in to generate income for their states? Can federal government do anything for you withiout passing through your state governors?

The last time I checked, no law has ever prevented any state governor to start a business, pay his unemployed indigenes, take care of elders and children, built affordable estates, invest heavily in agriculture for food surplus, give free health care and education. So tell me why you have to neglect those taking money from Federal accounts to cater for your needs but keep blaming the same FG?

We need to thoroughly educate our youths on the important of their state and local governments system in their lives. These are the people mandated to take care of your community needs and not federal government. Infact we don't have much business with federal government. The only time we should apportion blame to FG is when they fail to give our state what it deserved.

ehikwe22:
The FG has too much power and it doesn't make any sense. More power should be given to states to drive healthy competition

FG has power, same with the state.

Except exploration of resources, foreign policy, security, and monetary policy, many others are on cucurent list, so why are we so focus on FG, while we allow governors to hide under our ignorance to milk the country dry?

seborrhic:
They need celebrating,despite my suspicions of the timing.
There was a time Nigeria used to consistently produce top sprinters,both male and female,on a consistent basis.
We used to dominate the sprint events,from 100m to 400m in Africa then enter at worst the finals in major championships.
But now,even Kenya,better known for long distance running has a top class 100m sprinter while in events like 200,400 and now even 100m, Nigeria does not even have athletes at all.
The guys are now either into yahoo or football while the girls are now into runs or don't find any incentive to go into athletics.
If these 2 girls are nurtured and given incentives,no matter whatever time they may have run here,they can be the future of the sprints in Nigeria.They have the build to go with the sprint events.
One way of producing top athletes from Nigeria used to be through American schooling scholarships where they then get trained while schooling in college abroad and thus participating in athletics events in the US.
Our former stars like Mary onyali,Chidi imoh etc,are not also doing well.They should be organising things like athletics academies,talent hunts in schools etc,to find girls and boys that would continue carrying the touches they boldly lit during their careers.

Thank you sir, I love the concluding part of your post, this is the same patriotism I was talking about.

Zupay:
Is not your country?

If Tobi Amusan was not "exported" to the US after her secondary school education in Ijebu Ode through athletic scholarship at University of Texas where Blessing Okagbare got athletic scholarship and blossomed to win medals for Nigeria, would Tobi have achieved world class status today?

How many state sports commissions in Nigeria mired with corruption, nepotism and mismanagement can nurture and sustain world class athletes.......if Nigeria is still importing petrol in 2023, your stupid mentality will continue to select what to rant about.

I repeat, those kids should aim at getting US scholarships to excel in the sport and get quality American education.

I understand your point clearly even before you say it, that was why I said "instead of you to encourage Sport commission". You can't have a good country if you had already concluded in your mind that things will never get better. Your voice might be little, but goes a long way to make a difference because we are on social media. Development or change start from you and I, if you don't embrace patriotism and preach to others, how do you expect things to change. I would rather prefer our sports in general to take a gradual development rout than Tobi or Okagbare to win few medias at international stage. Unlike white, our individualistic approach to life is one of the key causes of our underdevelopment.

You can't continue to blame those in position of authority, while you believe not in the system. The reason our leaders continue their business as usual is because we have all agreed the system cannot be better.

nairavsdollars:
This is an event the FG should pay close attention to in order to groom talents but they won't

What happened to your state and local governments?

Many us don't even aware that most of the things we accuses FG of are purely state and local governments duties.
