I personally won't call Tony Elumelu by his first name. But can we all agree he won't have had a problem with a young person in Europe or somewhere abroad addressing him without any title.
Your consistency in advocating for rule of law is very admirable. And you're a better man than me and you're absolutely right.
But you see this El-rufai? Fuck him! I have no sympathy for him.
It may not bother some people, but the continued detention of @elrufai is not about justice; it is political vendetta. It is easy to look the other way because he is not your headache, and perhaps because you don’t consider him a nice person. But that is exactly how oppression works, it becomes acceptable when the victim is someone we dislike. Once injustice is tolerated against one person, it becomes easier to use it against everyone else. #FreeElRufaiNow

Sensible and progressive football associations are quickly forming an alliance and moving against this blatant corrupt enterprise from FIFA but this idiot's mouth is already watering from thoughts of how much he's going to steal from this.
Pinnick: Infantino’s FFE Proposal Will Give Each Member Association $20 Million
As FIFA President, Gianni Infantino has the right to propose changes, and it is up to stakeholders to accept or reject them. One of the major characteristics of the FIFA President is his ability to consult widely, and he is doing so with the FFE Proposal. Under this proposal, FIFA would sell minority stakes in a new for-profit commercial subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to external investors. The beneficiaries of the proposal will still be the member associations — including the Nigeria FA, Ghana FA, South African FA, and all other FAs.
This proposal should be celebrated in the wake of the most successful World Cup.

South Africa 🇿🇦 team captain Ronwen Williams has urged football fans in Africa and other countries to unite, saying, "Let's leave politics to politicians and play football."
The inhumane and xenophobic videos from South Africa are beyond heartbreaking. Is there nothing we (when i say we, i mean the governments of other countries or even the useless AU) can do? No one can pressure the South African government to stop this madness on its streets?

The most unfortunate irony was seeing the government wishing Nigerian kids a happy children's day yesterday while dozens of kids that have been in the den of kidnappers for weeks now have not been rescued.
We have a useless government. We need to push the government to act decisively.
Meanwhile, why aren't we at least occupying the South African embassy in Nigeria until something is done about the open and seemingly state backed Xenophobia against Nigerians and other Africans?
What is being done by the Nigerian regime to stop this open disgusting hatred/xenophobia from South Africans? Are we even putting any pressure on the South African government to put an end to this or at least explain the situation?
This can't continue to happen on the continent
A Nigerian father and his son were denied access to a public place in South Africa by locals, despite presenting their legal identification and visa documents.
All of you GenZ’s and unlearned millennials that clown Nigeria asking mockingly “why are we even called Giant of Africa, self?” this is why!
In the 60s-90s, Nigeria was literally Africa’s sugar daddy, $20m here, $10m there, and so on and so forth to other African countries! we didn’t only talk about Pan-Africanism we put our money where our mouth was.
Also, at independence, many African countries didn’t have as many educated professionals as Nigeria. In a lot of African countries that gained independence after us from 1963 onwards, the first chief justice, auditor general, surgeon general, vice chancellors of universities were all Nigerians! The first black chief justice of Botswana was Akinola Aguda, the first black chief justice of Gambia was Emmanuel Ayoola, when the portuguese left Mozambique in the 70s Nigerian health care officers (doctors and nurses) were sent to shore up their healthcare system from collapse bcos they just didn’t have enough qualified doctors. after all said and done we sent over 10,000 professionals across africa and the carribeans to help them incubate their newly independent nations
should we even talk about the ECOMOG troops in the 90s that 70% majorly funded (spent over $3b+) and equipped by Nigeria with Nigerian soldiers forming 75% of the peacekeeping force? ECOMOG led by us was highly responsible for ending the Liberian and Sierra Leonean civil wars.
I won’t even go into details of what Nigeria contributed to the South African anti-apartheid efforts!
Nigeria gave and gave and forgot to pay attention to its own development and today we’ve become the pariah amongst nations!
