Has Trump met his match?

U.S president, Trump, is know for his careless and unpolitical manner of speech. And this has been further exposed by the war of words between the U.S president and Kim Jong-un, North Korean president.

As usual, Donald Trump swore to unleash 'fire and fury' like the world has never seen before if North Korea continues threatening the U.S, and in turn, Kim Jong-un has vowed to make U.S 'pay the price'.

Trump accused Kim of being 'very threatful', but let's take a moment to analyse this... We all know that Trump is the master of threats; the things he said pre and post election. So it's all so funny that the pot is calling the kettle black.

Has Trump met his match?

David vs Goliath: North Korea vs U.S

U.S president Donald Trump has promised 'fire and fury' on North Korea if it keeps threatening the U.S.

This is after the U.N laid fresh sanctions on North Korea, further estranging them from the world.

North Korea president, Kim Jong-un has vowed to make the U.S 'pay a price'.

For now, it's a war of words. But could we see anything more endangering?

N11tn hypocrisy

A human rights advocacy group submitted a report on the 9th of August on how previous ex-presidents squandered eleven trillion naira ($29.9b) on electricity without significant result.

The 65 page report called for the prosecution of all those involved in the N11tn power scam.

It will also be good to note that since the current administration assumed power in 2015, there have also been billions of naira spent on the power sector, and no tangible results to show. So Nigeria is still in the era of diesel and gas powered generators and this doesn't seem to change any soon.

Which begs the questions, what is then the difference between the previous 'corrupt' administration and this self-righteous one?

Take your time because the question above might just be a N11tn question.

Nigerians don't have the right to protest, says police

The persons protesting for the return or resignation of the ailing Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, have been assaulted by the police.

The protesters were shot teargas, beat, and dragged. Many of the protesters sustained injuries.

The command spokesman said, "the police prevented a breakdown of law and order, and disturbance of public peace in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja by dispersing some hoodlums and other criminal elements that infiltrated the protest being carried out by a group of concerned Nigerians."

Were cameramen part of the 'hoodlums'? Should the Nigerian police be lying?

Does this act of violence by the Nigerian police mean that Nigerians have no right? Beating innocent citizens because they are protesting is a breach of fundamental human rights. The police should apologize and pay damages too. Nigerians, just like any other people of the world, have the right to protest. Nigerians have the right to say 'enough is enough'.

Nigeria on the verge of division?

Nnamdi Kanu, the same man that called Nigeria a 'zoo' is still agitating for a sovereign independent State of Biafra. 47 years after the Civil War, and there is still tension in the region.

Kanu was arrested in October 2015 on counts of treason. He spent more than a year-and-a-half in Kuje prison, Abuja (FCT) awaiting trial. He was later released in April 2017 on bail, after which he return to southeastern Nigeria where thousands are rallying behind him.

A country battling with multiple threats such as domestic terrorism, political instability, and recession should not be further burdened with threats of division.

Nnamdi Kanu is currently speaking for the secession of Biafra. He has been spotted amid crowds, holding a mic and speaking passionately about the incompetence of the Nigerian government and the actualization of Biafra.

The question remains, how will a possible Biafra secession help Biafra or Nigeria?

Return or Resign: Nigerians have spoken

The Nigerian president is at large, literally. Ever since president Muhammadu Buhari left the country to London on a sick leave he's yet to return, and Nigerians are pissed.

The picture above illustrates a peaceful protest urging that the president return from London or resign. It's been 92 days since he left! And according to the constitution, the President would be declared unfit to rule if not on seat for 90 days. Today makes it 90 plus 2 days, and counting.

The political meandering exposes the incompetence and corruption of the Nigerian government. If a President is indisposed for an allotted number of days, then he should truly be declared unfit to rule.

This unhealthy clinging to power is pulling the country down. One would think that it's the same ruling party after all, but in Nigeria's case it's more than that. This is tribal, this is North vs South.

There are rumors about the president's state of health and a possible return date. But frankly, when is our president coming back? Or, would he ever come back?

How much should a club spend on a player?

Neymar Junior just made a $264,000,000 move from Barcelona to PSG, a record fee indeed, highest ever.

The astronomical amount left the world shocked and there were lots of reactions. I mean, let's ponder about this for a bit... two hundred and sixty four MILLION dollars! I mean, who does that? Well, PSG obviously.

The world made a fuss about Paul Pogba when Man U coughed out $130,000,000 to bring the youngstar to Old Trafford. 

But now Pogba's fee pales in comparison to Neymar's. 

But really, how much can (no, should) a club spend on a player? $500,000,000? A billion?
