I bet many don't know Nigeria's original anthem:
(Thread)
1. Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood we stand,
Nigerians all are proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
If the president had wanted to win the Osun State election at all costs, I would be involved, and I would have been there, and Governor Adeleke would have known that it would have been different.
- FCT Minister Nyesom Wike
You want to reform Nigerian football? Good. Govt. should sack @thenff and repeal the NFA Act. Chest the FIFA ban fully. Engage @DrJoeAbah and Mike Emenalo to carry out governance, institutional and technical reforms for two years. Carry out fresh elections with new guidelines.
But really, Nigeria is a very unserious place about progress and productivity.
The only time you find Nigerian leaders working hard with any form of zeal and cooperation is at election time, and when it's time to share money.
Now that BAT has confirmed that Buhari didn’t fix our refineries.
It’s important to note that Buhari approved $2.98 billion in total for the rehabilitation of Porharcourt, Kaduna & Warri’s refinery.
- Port Harcourt Refinery: $1.5 billion
- Warri Refinery: $897 million
- Kaduna Refinery: $586 million to $741 million
NONE of them are functioning. NONE!!
No one is standing trial for this economic sabotage.
@justinijeh Well said, well said.
In Nigeria, manifestos aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Who remembers APC's glossy and lofty manifestos in 2015?
Character and track record of the candidate is everything.
@thicktimah Tragic. Cross River is one of the poorest states in the south, but their poverty of late has been less about resources and more about governance.
Donald Duke was the zenith - fell off slightly with Liyel Imoke, then fell off a cliff into nonentity with Ben Ayade.
For the first time since 1996, I have not watched a single pre-season game or kept up with who Manchester United have signed or are interested in.
Looking forward to the new season though... Should be exciting all around.
