@eteobong_edem1@charlesaniagolu I personally don't mind the reference to OK Movement.
The more it's placed in the widening political discourse the more it's seen as a force to reckon with.
What matters is how OK adherents marshal & crystalize their political consciousness as the season gathers momentum.
@charlesaniagolu These are matters of critical discourse analysis. Politics is a game that constructs its own language, & all players easily resort to such neologisms to justify why they deserve power or must have control.
Remember 'nascent democracy', & how it was used to beguile Nigerians?
@laudelinterior_ On the scale of nationalism, no-one can do any wrong showcasing Messi anywhere. He's their biggest, global experience in 40 years if not more!
For all the noise coming from @flynorwegian, Brazil is to blame.
This QF fixture would've been between Brazil VS England, a more traditional match-up in World Cup games.

@instablog9ja True. Everything started before Tinubu so we shouldn't expect any improvements anywhere. And that's actually what it is.
Tinubu shouldn't have bothered about the Lagos-Coastal Highway because it started decades ago. He shouldn't have touched fuel subsidy either! High Umahi๐ฅธ
After speaking with Nigerians in Cape Town yesterday, I was able to have meaningful discussions this morning with three South African ministers and political party leaders regarding the ongoing challenges related to immigration, regional collaboration, and fostering peaceful coexistence between our nations.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr Leon Schreiber, the South African Minister of Home Affairs and a prominent figure in the Democratic Alliance; Mr Velenkosini Hlabisa, the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and leader of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP); and Mr Gayton McKenzie, the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture and leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
Our conversations were productive and candid, focusing on the current challenges that affect both countriesโparticularly those related to migration, economic strains, youth unemployment, security issues, and the rising tensions faced by African foreigners in South Africa.
I firmly believe that Nigeria and South Africa, both prominent African nations, must enhance dialogue, bolster cooperation, and seek solutions based on justice, mutual respect, and adherence to the rule of law. In challenging times, leaders and citizens alike need to demonstrate responsible leadership, compassion, and restraint.
We collectively stressed the importance of law-abiding behaviour, avoiding violence, resisting hate or provocation, and allowing lawful institutions to address grievances through democratic and constitutional processes, regardless of the challenges we face.
The progress of Africa hinges on our ability to create unity, foster economic inclusivity, invest in our communities, and uphold the dignity of every African, no matter where they live. -PO
