How did one man hold power for eight years, preside over the disappearance of $12.4 billion, build Africa's most sophisticated system of political corruption, annul the freest election his country ever held, and retire to a mansion without ever being prosecuted?
#Powerandplunder
I was in church once and the boy next to me, about 9 or 10, was just absolutely out of control. Single mom couldn't control him.
The boy was loud, interrupting the service, insulting to his mother, and absolutely refused to obey her gentle pleading.
He kept rolling around on the floor and knocking into me. I didn't say anything, but I was growing increasingly annoyed. We were in the back and this kid was damn near throwing a tantrum, just refusing to sit in his chair and instead laying underneath his seat, clinging to its legs while kicking.
Eventually, a father carrying his infant daughter was trying to walk through the aisle and the boy wouldn't move.
At that point, I had had enough. I yanked the chair off of the boy, set it down to the side, stared straight into his eyes, and gave him a direct order: "Stand up right now, get out of the aisle, and listen to your mother."
Kid was stunned. You could tell no one had ever spoken to him with that kind of directness and authority. He immediately obeyed without making a peep. Kept quiet for the rest of the service, too.
This is why discipline is important. The son had zero fear or respect of his mother. That's why he was acting like a brat in public to the detriment of everyone around him.
A few good spankings from a father would have put paid to that nonsense and brought happiness of the boy, his mother, and society at large.
Gentle parenting only works if there is a strong foundation of authority and respect from child to parent.
Church scatter today, Nigerians are tired. I believed videos will soon surface online.
Our Governor Rt Hon Elder Sheriff Oborevwori sent delegates to church this morning to give thanks for his 3years in office.
They brought a lot of food items to give thanks, i mean a whole lot.
They hold microphone begin campaign for Tinubu re-election, church scattered.
Pastor couldn’t calm the situation again oh, people started leaving.
You can praise Zik all you want, but in Alaigbo his legacy is not as straightforward as many try to paint it.
Many Ndigbo believe that he stood against the interests and aspirations of his own people, and that perception has followed his name for generations.
An Igbo man may forgive, but he does not forget. History remembers achievements, but it also remembers where a man stood when his people needed him most.
Steven Gerrard: “I look across the Arsenal squad, I don’t see much ego. I see a young hungry manager. You can’t let this setback take anything away from becoming Premier League champions. They deserve a lot of plaudits.” ❤️👏
🚨 Mesut Özil Slams Referee After Arsenal's Controversial Champions League Final Defeat
🗣️: "I have watched football for many years, and I understand that referees can make mistakes. Nobody expects perfection. But tonight, it genuinely felt like Arsenal were fighting against more than just PSG.
The incident involving Madueke was a clear penalty for me. In any other game, anywhere else on the pitch, that contact is given as a foul immediately. I struggle to understand how the referee saw it and decided there was nothing there. Even more surprising was the lack of intervention. Moments like that can completely change a final.
What frustrated me most was the consistency. Every important decision seemed to go against Arsenal. Small fouls were given one way but not the other. Challenges that deserved bookings were ignored. Every 50-50 call appeared to favour PSG. As a player, that is incredibly difficult because you begin to feel that no matter what you do, the decisions are not going your way.
A Champions League final should be decided by the players, the coaches and the football itself, not by controversial refereeing decisions. Arsenal may not have played their best game, but they still deserved a fair opportunity to compete. When such a clear penalty is not awarded, people are always going to ask questions.
I feel sorry for the players because they worked all season to reach this stage. You can accept losing when the better team wins fairly, but it is much harder to accept when major decisions leave a cloud over the result. For me, Arsenal deserved that penalty on Madueke, and they deserved much better from the officials tonight."
Wait oh!
Ojukwu insisted that the last penny of the large sums his father left in swiss banks for him be used before any of the funds of Eastern Region will be touched. £8,000,000 😤
8 fucking million pounds in 1967.
Even after losing all his inheritance in Nigeria.
🚨 Mikel Arteta: “I watched all the penalties in the competition in the last 72 hours to understand what is a penalty and what is not…
…that one on Madueke can easily be a penalty”.
