Pooja, this is very cheap compared to Nigeria.
Stop whining us. Our currency is almost worthless. 😭
This bottle of coke is just $6 (N8,000) and the minimum wage there is $1,257. Which implies that you can purchase the bottle of coke 209 times with the minimum wage.
In Nigeria, this bottle of coke costs N500 and the minimum wage is N70,000. Which implies that you can only purchase the bottle of coke 140 times with the minimum wage.
Under PPP and using the bottle of coke, $6 is equivalent to N500. The purchasing power of our currency is at all time low. 😥
Crude oil is currently trading between $73 and $79 per barrel. The same price range at which we were buying PMS at just N900 per litre.
Can anyone explain why we are still paying N1,360 per litre for fuel?
If you are quick to raise prices whenever the market goes up, you should not hesitate to reduce them when it comes down.
⚠️⛔️ Atención a las palabras de Jürgen Klopp CONTRA LAS PAUSAS DE HIDRATACIÓN:
“ESTO ES EL FÚTBOL SIENDO TOMADO COMO REHÉN POR EJECUTIVOS EN OFICINAS CON AIRE ACONDICIONADO.
Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores.
Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?
Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario.
Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial.
La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido.
Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. EL FÚTBOL SE ESTÁ CONVIRTIENDO EN LA INTERRUPCIÓN ENTRE LOS ANUNCIOS”.
Jamie Carragher on FIFA and Canada over Thomas Partey visa situation:
🗣️ “This is an absolute disgrace from a tournament organisation point of view. You spend years building towards a World Cup, qualifying, preparing squads, getting everything right and then something like this happens right before kickoff. It simply should not be happening at this level of football.
If Thomas Partey has been selected, is part of Ghana’s plans and is fully fit, then how does it reach a stage where a visa issue rules him out of the opening game against Panama? That is not football-related at all, that is pure administrative failure.
I don’t care who is responsible — FIFA, Canada, immigration authorities — someone has to take accountability for this. You cannot ask fans to invest emotionally and financially into a tournament, only for key players to be missing because basic processes were not handled properly.
At the very least, these situations should be resolved long before the first match of the tournament. It is unfair on the player, unfair on Ghana, and it undermines the professionalism of the competition. This is exactly the kind of chaos that has no place at a World Cup.”
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson @iamHSDickson
While I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened. (I played field politics, I never waited for anyone to give me ticket), I would like you as the National leader to watch this video again!
This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your Presidential Candidate. Your first one on one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself.
With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively!!!! The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself.
As a leader of a Political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants many of whom are rightfully aggrieved and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer!
No one can take away your leadership of NDC, no one is interested in that! The focus is on Nigeria is winning the 2027 election!
It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better.
There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego!
Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!

Please also repost this tweet. Our goal is to get it onto everyone’s timeline across the globe within the next 72 hours. Thank you in advance for your support. Let's make this the best World Cup coverage yet!
One day, the Islamic terrorists would kidnap the Nigerian president, then demand that Aso Rock should be vacated, and Islamic government installed, as condition for the president to be released.
Dey play.
The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.

Back in the day, I had a friend from Liberia.
Her parents were upper-middle-class and lived in Monrovia.
She said they woke one day to find rebels at the doorstep of Monrovia, and there was a mad dash to the airport. She said a country had sent planes to evacuate its citizens from Liberia, but the Liberians were buying the seats on those planes to escape.
Her parents could only afford to send her; she never saw them again.
I asked, “This war didn't start in one day; why didn't you leave earlier?”
She said, “We simply heard about an attack here and there and never assumed it would come to Monrovia.”
“Some of us, the Yoruba, voted for Tinubu in 2023 but he brought misery on us. Make sure you do not vote for him again in 2027.”

“How can you ask security personnel to go to the forest and confront criminals that are armed with AK-47s? The local security personnel (Amotekun and others) are only allowed to bear Dane guns."
