One thing Nigerian politics has mastered is using every available advantage. Whether it's money, rented supporters, religion, ethnicity, or any other means, whatever advances a political agenda is often put into play.
CAF is probably waiting to see which direction the wind is blowing before pretending to be disgusted by what FIFA president is doing. They’re corrupt to the core. The biggest threat to Football after infantino is CAF.
What's this guy admitting to? Before he won the election he gave you "$200,000".
Maybe my understanding to bribe is rusty, but this look like a bribe to get a vote.
This man just described the mentality problem we have in Nigeria. There is no excuse for not being professional. Professionalism is about you not how much you are paid.
🚨 Pundits and retired players were asked to predict today’s World Cup semifinal between Spain and France:
• Roy Keane: “🇫🇷 2-0 🇪🇸. Football isn’t won by passing triangles. It’s won by killers.”
• Gary Neville: “🇪🇸 2-1 🇫🇷. Lamine Yamal decides it. He’s built for nights like this.”
• Thierry Henry: “🇫🇷 3-2 🇪🇸. Mbappé only needs one moment. Spain will give him two.”
• Rio Ferdinand: “🇫🇷 4-1 🇪🇸. Everyone is falling in love with Spain. France will bring them back to reality.”
• José Mourinho: “🇫🇷 1-0 🇪🇸. Possession doesn’t win semi-finals. Efficiency does.”
• Paul Scholes: “🇪🇸 2-0 🇫🇷. France won’t touch the ball enough to hurt them.”
• Zlatan: “🇪🇸 2-1 🇫🇷. Spain don’t just keep the ball, they suffocate you with it.
• Patrice Evra: “🇫🇷 3-1 🇪🇸. Too much pace, too much power, too much Mbappé.”
• Arsène Wenger: “🇪🇸 2-1 🇫🇷. Technique will overcome athleticism tonight.”
“At the U-17 World Cup in the Netherlands, the Nigeria FA told us to reject any agent that asked for Mikel. Then an Ajax agent showed up with a briefcase containing $500,000 in cash and told me, ‘I want to change your life if you sign for us.’”

If fir’aun were to return & pay for PR, some of you will gladly try to justify why he had to do what he did. It’s disgusting that we have the highest number of victims in Arewa & yet you’re not just silent about it, but also fighting those who speak out.
Truth only hides when citizens stay quiet. In this digital era, the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act ensures that all public records and artifacts remain retrievable.
Nigerians need to understand it’s okay to exit a fanbase. Actions must have consequences regardless of the talent of the perpetrators; learn to unfollow, unstan, unsubscribe, and cancel stupid celebrities who have sold themselves to the enemies of Nigeria. Boycotts work like mad!
Your own people are being killed, kidnapped and displaced almost every blessed day on this earth and your problem is that Davido has spoken against such things on the international stage. You are a singer with a cult-following, use your voice too. Rarara is very shameless.
This issue shouldn’t be relegated to a north-versus-south or an us-versus-them discussion. Davido used his voice to speak. Rarara is very shameless for countering him given that his own people are the worst hit—with his family once a victim. If he can’t talk, let him keep quiet.
What is the veracity of the story that Sadiq Sani Sadiq is planning on organizing a protest? That man is softly becoming a menace to the wellbeing of our society. The last time Protest was held, Properties were destroyed, lives were ruined and our security formation was compromised. One would have expected those unfortunate events to serve as a cautionary tale for all concerned.
Time and again, our revered Sheikhs have admonished against such gatherings, emphasizing the potential consequences they may precipitate. Yet, despite these repeated warnings, there appears to be a renewed determination to proceed with another demonstration.
What assures him that this proposed protest will not degenerate into the same chaos, destruction, and security breaches that characterized the previous demonstrations? We need to look at the broader implications such actions may have on public safety, social cohesion, and the collective wellbeing of society.
