FMR. PRESIDENT BUHARI LEFT NIGERIA FLOURISHING, TINUBU IS CONTINUING ON THE SAME PATH -- EX-AVIATION MINISTER HADI SIRIKA

Image
Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has defended the administrations of former President Muhammadu Buhari and President Bola Tinubu, insisting that Buhari left Nigeria in a good economic and social state while Tinubu is implementing policies in line with the All Progressives Congress (APC) agenda.  Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Sirika dismissed claims that Buhari’s administration was responsible for the country’s current economic hardship, saying he did not want to be drawn into such debates.  “The truth of the matter is that President Buhari had done extremely very well on the economy. I’m not an economist, but I do know so because I’ve been in the country, I’ve been in the government, and I’ve seen that the country at the time was in good state, both the economy and the social issues within the country.”  Asked whether Buhari handed over a stable nation with enough resources for his successor, Sirika maintained that the former president lef...

She stressed that enjoying a comfortable lifestyle today should not come at the expense of long-term financial security, warning that old age can be difficult without savings or investments. According to her, anyone in their 30s without children should be intentional about building wealth now to avoid financial struggles in later years.

However, he questioned whether he would want his children to grow up around what he described as “dullards.” “In real life, Nigerians, the way Nigerians are dull, it scares me for my children, because I don’t want to japa. I want to build Nigeria. But my kids, my kids cannot grow up with these dullards. My kids cannot, and they are loud about it.” Comparing Nigerians and Ghanaians, he argued that Ghanaians possess better critical thinking skills, while Nigerians excel more in business, creativity and hustling. “Ghanaians are smarter than Nigerians.

"NO STADIUM IN NIGERIA CAN HOST A WORLD CUP" - FOOTBALL JOURNALIST POOJA SAYS NIGERIA HAS A LONG WAY TO GO

Image
Football journalist Pooja, speaking on the FIFA World Cup Roundup Show, has said Nigeria remains far behind the world’s leading football nations in both infrastructure and on-field performance.  According to him, no stadium in the country currently meets FIFA’s standards to host a World Cup match, stressing that even the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo falls short.  “Infrastructure-wise, I think we have a long way to go. I don’t think there’s any stadium in Nigeria that can host the World Cup. Even Uyo cannot. The facilities in Uyo are like 20% of what you have in Atlanta Stadium or the New Jersey Stadium.”  Pooja argued that building more stadiums alone is not the solution, saying many existing facilities are underutilised because local football lacks a strong fan culture.  “We don’t even watch matches in Nigeria. There’s no fan base. It’s a waste of resources. Look at Uyo; apart from Super Eagles games, the stadium is not used to its full ...

"GEHGEH'S ADVICE IS FOR POOR PEOPLE" - APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN SPEAKS ON THE FINANCIAL EXPERT'S TEACHINGS

Image
Apostle Johnson Suleman has stirred reactions after sharing his thoughts on the financial advice often given by finance expert GehGeh during a recent church service. Speaking to his congregation, Apostle Suleman said he is cautious of people who constantly speak down on women before turning his attention to GehGeh’s teachings. He noted that while he likes the finance expert and has watched several of his videos, he believes the advice is mainly beneficial to people who are still struggling financially. “That guy gives good advice for poor people.” The cleric explained that financial advice differs depending on a person’s level of success, adding that those whom God has already blessed think differently from those still trying to make ends meet. “There’s a level you get to, somebody might be telling you if somebody asks for transport, don’t give transport fare. No, you don’t give transport, you buy cars.” He added that people who are financially established are no longer con...
