Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Re: Which Nigerian first names carry greatness?
Only 1st names that carries Ballership are Victor and Emmanuel. The rest are so so and all the players named Joseph were #$%. Yobo was very very average. Enakhere? Drogba ended his carrier and Dosu.... was decent but not all that.Tbite wrote: ↑Sat Mar 22, 2025 4:50 am If you have ever wondered

Re: Which Nigerian first names carry greatness?
the title has been amended. Yeah, I initially thought they were Nigerian names. I was thinking that maybe Nigerians sent some people to Europe to validate the latin names, and anglicize the hebrew names on their behalf. But alas, I was wrong.

Victor Moses, Osimhen, Boniface, Obinna, Ikpeba, Agali, Anichebe
lets weigh Emmanuel versus Victor.
Osimhen> Emenike, Amunike >Boniface, Victor Obinna > Emmanuel Dennis Victor Ikpeba > Emmanuael Babayaro, and still have Agali and Anichebe on the bench.
Nope, Victor is still the greatest Nigerian footballer first name.

No need to explain. We understood you. Unfortunately, there is very poor education and mental retardation can exacerbate it.Tbite wrote: ↑Sun Mar 23, 2025 9:26 amI meant Nigerian footballer first names.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 22, 2025 3:15 pm Out of all the names you listed there, only Kelechi is a Nigerian name.

Another one of those retarded head scratching threads; someone smokes igbo them come for CE to tell us they are high
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

You are right. I was smoking lots of Igbo.
How did you know. But alas afaik it is not prohibited on this forum, and neither is discrimination against people of any mental ability.
