All the fake products being sold in this country are bought from China by Igbo people.
Are you aware that they are using powder and local chalk to produce paracetamol and a lot of the medicines we take?
Are you aware that they are also refurbishing children’s meals, all in Anambra?
You see this Ronaldo 2006/07, I will not stop talking about it for anyone who cares to listen, because of what happened then. It’s the birth of the Ronaldo you know today. I still think if 2006/07 doesn’t happen, we won’t have the Ronaldo of today.
He came back to England as the most hated player. He was booed at almost every away ground. You know how crazy that was? This is not a VAR era where players are protected from every kick here and there.
Man United hadn’t won the league in three seasons. It was Chelsea and Arsenal dominating, and this guy came in and dropped 17 goals and 13 assists, leading Man United to the league title while being the best player in the league.
But what makes that season so special is that it wasn’t just about the numbers. It was about how he responded to the hostility, the criticism and the pressure. He had just come back from the 2006 World Cup controversy that Wayne Rooney issue, many players would have cracked, but not this one. Not in 2006, not in 2016, and not in 2026.
People talk about Ronaldo’s physical transformation, his discipline and his mentality, but I think that season deserves even more attention. 2006/07 was the turning point. It was the season Cristiano Ronaldo started becoming Cristiano Ronaldo.
You will forever be the Greatest.
You can draw a straight line from the length Nigerian men can go for sex - to the increased reported rape cases abroad tied to Nigerian men.
Untamed sexual impulses and lack of game.
"chop girls" - you'll think he is Thanos collecting infinity stones.
Jason Wilcox is a narcissist.
He changed the way United present new signings, removing the manager from the pictures and putting himself front and centre, as if he deserves all the credit for the signings.
After United won just THREE games in a row under Amorim, he went and did an interview talking about success, making himself look like some sort of genius.
He’s using this football club to feed his own ego and boost his image. He’s completely incompetent and out of his depth.
He should be sacked BEFORE Michael Carrick.
In 2013, Ronaldo auctioned a replica of his Ballon D'or to help terminally ill children.
In 2011, he auctioned his golden boot to help construct schools in Gaza.
In 2016, he donated his entire Euro winning bonus to help children with Cancer.
In 2014, he distributed his entire UCL winning bonus to UNICEF, world vision and Save the Children.
In 2013, he donated his entire UEFA team of the year bonus to Red Cross.
In 2014, Ronaldo paid paid for 10-month-old (Erik Ortiz Cruz) treatment suffering from suffering from cortical dysplasia.
In 2009, after his mom survived breast cancer, he donated $165,000 to the hospital to help fund a specialized digital mammography machine.
In 2012, He completely funded the pioneering medical treatments for Nuhuzet Guillen, a 9-year-old boy battling terminal cancer.
In 2016, He made a major, undisclosed private donation to Save the Children to supply medical aid, clothes, and food to families in war-torn Aleppo, Syria.
In 2023, Ronaldo dispatched a massive care plane packed with essential emergency supplies to help earthquake victims. He paid for the entire cargo, which included tents, food packages, medical supplies, beds, blankets, pillows, baby food, and milk.
I can tolerate you people banter him, accuse him, killl him in the media, but don't lie against a man who's given the world more than anybody has ever given. If he did these things for the camera, we would all be clamouring for him to be the next Ruler of the free worlddd
Not sure whether it's the case here, but some parents refuse to leave their houses no matter the success of their children.
Especially parents that were not dirt poor before the child became successful.
Some of them find it difficult to leave the community they have been for 30+ years - the daily community and religious activities in circles they have been used to. They don't want to go to another neighbourhood.
Also, most of these men don't like Lekki, the likely place he would have been moved to.
This could also be the mosque rather than the house.
Do you know how heartless someone or a group of people must be to make fake/substandard crutches meant for people living with physical disabilities and sell as original??
This is too much!
Dear @charlesaniagolu, these are the questions you should have asked him during the interview. A well-placed person was alleging a serious criminal act on television. You should have let him reveal more, instead of constantly interrupting him.
You should then have followed up with the questions such as: Who paid the billions to be appointed Minister in this government? Who were the monies were paid to? Who benefited from the payments? How do they recoup the monies they paid? Is the President aware? Can you testify to these allegations in court?
Forget every other question or comment in your interview script and dive in on the interesting allegations.
During my interview with Alwan Hassan, APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman, on Arise TV’s Prime Time, he alleged that “a lot of ministers pay billions and billions” to secure appointments, and then enter office thinking about how to recover their money.
I pressed him on the issue and reminded him that these are ministers that have been put there by the APC.
He said the practice predates the APC. That makes the allegation even more serious.
Who allegedly collects these billions? Who pays? Who is selling public appointments? And are Nigerians ultimately made to pay for it through corruption?
If these claims are true, they demand a credible investigation. If not, Mr Hassan owes Nigerians a clear explanation.
Who are the alleged beneficiaries, and will anyone be held accountable?
Public office is a public trust, not a private investment to be recouped at taxpayers’ expense.
I stopped at a canteen to have some amala in Offa few days ago and a guy approached me.
I'm used to being approached everywhere and most times I even interject with "From social media abi?" once a stranger walks towards me in such manner.
"Sir, I know you? I was a student of the University of Offa and, last year, you came to our school to talk to us on career and encouraged us", the young man started.
He was wearing what appeared to be commercial okada rider jacket.
A few seconds of confusion. Do I have Twitter followers riding okada? This guy looks too polished to be an okada rider.
"I brought someone here", he added.
This looks like someone I need to have deeper discussion with so I gave him my Whatsapp number as I felt he was at the mercy of the passenger he brought.
Not in a hurry as I had thought as I still saw him after I settled at my table, so I asked him to grab a chair and let us talk the talk immediately rather than on Whatsapp later.
His story goes: He was an accounting student, and was encouraged by the career talk I had given last year and he had enrolled for ICAN ATS, passed stage 1 and expecting result of stage 2 he wrote recently. ICAN has 5-6 stages for ATS route (non-graduate route).
"So what happened? Were you rusticated?", I quipped, with each morsel of amala becoming heavier in my hand.
Then series of bombshells: He had lost both parents. He had been fending for himself almost all his life. He is in his mid 20s. He came to Offa from a nearby village five years ago, for NCE. He got admission into UniOffa as DE to 200L. He spent nights working at a poultry and days a student.
More bombshells: He dropped out in 300L when he could not afford school fees. He could not raise the school fees when he resumed 300L. The poultry work was stressful too. So he started doing okada.
More: His CGPA at the end of 200L was 4.0/5.0. A solid CGPA.
UniOffa school fee is less than N400k, one of the cheapest private universities in Nigeria.
ICAN is cheaper (less than N100k per diet?) but I told him immediately that that ICAN will be useless without a degree. He has to go back to school and complete the degree. Serious employer looks at your degree before your professional cert.
I'm on the Governing Council of the school (he didn't know - a surprise - and he probably thought I was just brought as an external speaker at that career event. And I didn't tell him.) I asked him to go back to the school and enquire whether he can resume the 300L that just started (his set are in 400L now but that shouldn't matter).
I have seen people struggle in life. Not the worst experience, but my mind kept flashing back. Someone is dropping out of school, from a brilliant 4-pointer accounting student to an okada rider because, all his life, he couldn't raise sub N400k. An amount some guys spend on a random night at a tier 3 club.
Touching.
Joe will finish that degree. In shaa Allah.
I can’t remember which airline I was complaining about when some people told me to try Value Jet. They said they were quite reliable. So, I decided to try them today.
Value Jet 4pm flight from Abuja to Lagos. Boarding was announced just after 4pm. We all got to the foot of the aircraft and the plane couldn’t take everyone. It turns out they had combined two flights. Some people were told at the foot of the plane that they couldn’t go on the flight.
They took our hand luggages at the foot of the aircraft because the cabins, according to them, the cabins were full. We were not given any luggage tags. I asked and they said there was no need.
As I boarded, they asked to see my boarding pass and said “Free seating after Row 8.” I asked, “What do you mean? I am in Business Class, seat 5A.” They found me a seat at 2A.
When we were seated, they announced we were going to Lagos via Iperu, Ogun State. The lady Prof that sat next to me said we were taking the scenic route and we both laughed when they announced that we should sit back and relax.😀
When we got to Iperu, those of us going to Lagos were asked to stay onboard. It turns out that some people who were going to Lagos with us were planning to then go on to the Ijebu and Ikene axis from there. Given the unexpected detour to Iperu, they took the opportunity to disembark there. My process and quality assurance mind went to the integrity of the flight manifest.
I had a window seat and just happened to see my hand luggage being taken to the terminal. Because it is an all-Aluminum case, it is rather distinctive and easily distinguishable. I had to shout. They said they would sort it out and would ask for all the bags to be brought back. That took another 10 minutes.
When all the bags were brought back, we were then asked to disembark to identify our luggage. Some passengers had a few choice words for them.😀 They wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t seen my bag being taken to the terminal at Iperu.
When we eventually re-boarded, they then made the usual apology for the delay “for operational reasons.” One guy shouted “Operational reasons kee you there!”😂 There were shouts of “fraud”, “scam” and “deceit” from the back.
At 7:07 pm, three hours after boarding, we finally landed in Lagos.
Somehow, I am not even in the mood to make wahala today. I just want to get to my hotel and have a cold beer.😀
Sir, there is MORE to this story. In addition to Dangote’s IPO, they ARE AFTER Nigeria’s foreign reserves.
Unknown to many, JPMORGAN is part of the global “asset managers” who FLEECED Nigeria a while back.
Background:
The SHAKEDOWN of 2006:
Back in 2006, Nigeria had a foreign reserves of about $38 Billions. Foreign Banks led by Black Rock, and JPMorgan wanted the money. They told the CLOWN that is the governor of ANAMBRA state today, who was the then CBN governor, that; to attract foreign investors into Nigeria, he would have to appoint them as “ASSET MANAGERS” to manage the money.
OBJ and NGOZI OKONJA-IWEALA agreed on the conditions that they must partner with Local Nigerian Banks.
$7 BILLION HEIST:
SOLUDO then selected and paired some Nigerian Banks with these foreign banks; RUMORS is that he did that on his own.
Here is the list:
This lady and her team, always making grown men cry when hired by people to appreciate their loved ones for the sacrifices they’ve made to better their lives😩😭
Sometimes you do these things without even knowing how much you gave until the gratitude 🙏🏽
You can keep changing managers, but until the structure changes, the cycle will continue.
Every manager who has come and gone has proven that.
