@saratu@Sir_Ruffy Like how did he expect to play out over 30mins in his own half against Argentina. Especially when he had both the team and the bench to press them. Argentina wasn't great. Thats what makes it even worse
FEMI FANI-KAYODE: "My dearest brother Prince Nazir Ado Ibrahim of the Royal House of the Attaโs in Ebiraland, Kogi state has passed, and it still hits me hard. We grew up together, shared an eventful and rich childhood with many remarkable experiences and went through thick and thin together for 60 years! I thought we would grow old together and share the memories of our childhood whilst in retirement."

Possible scenarios (ranked in order):
1/ Your country makes the best cheapest products. You export, and your citizens also buy the best.
2/ Your country doesnโt make the best/cheapest; but your consumers enjoy them (Brazil below).
3/ Your country doesnโt make the cheapest/best AND your country blocks access to your market. So you pay more for worst products, and you donโt export. Plus your local companies become less globally competitive as they are protected.
#3 is the worst. Itโs what Europe did when America thrived. And itโs what many in Washington recommend today.
I genuinely don't understand UK holiday prices anymore.
You're asking me to pay over ยฃ900 to stay in a log cabin where the weather's a gamble, the nearest beach is an hour away, and I can still hear the motorway.
For less money, I could be lying by a pool in Spain with unlimited food and drinks.
How have we reached this point?
One of the important functions of government is to reduce this risk - creating a safety net so that people can take risks that have the potential to drive society forward, while also knowing that if the risk doesn't pay off, they can fall back to a base level of dignity
Lol. Europe forced others (at the barrel of the gun) to open up their countries to European trade when it held the advantage. The balance of advantage has shifted and all of a sudden, they're changing the tune.
The diaspora is not treating investment like charity. It is literally replacing the state. That $100 billion is not going to consumption out of a lack of financial vision. It is keeping families alive because African governments have abdicated every responsibility they were supposed to carry. School fees, hospital bills, housing, food: the diaspora is subsidising what governance failed to provide, mostly while barely surviving themselves in expensive cities abroad.
Mention one key big city problem that Lagos has solved in the last 19years of democracy.
Housing?
Mass transport?
Congestion?
Waste disposal?
Flooding?
Productivity?
Education?
Healthcare?
Access to justice?
