Sports / Re: Heavyweight Clash: Anthony Joshua VS Daniel Dubois by OLADD: 11:17pm On Sep 21 |
CornOak: It's the end of his era. Boxing, just like most of the contact sports, goes with psychology. As soon as a boxer looses the fear factor that scares his opponents, he's gone. AJ lost the fear factor the moment he lost to Andy Ruiz in their first bout. His grit was broken. Same thing happened to Mike Tyson and Wilder; they were found out and the fear factor disappeared. If AJ decides to still hang around, he would be pummeled by even journeymen in boxing. He's made some bucks and it's time to quit. 2 Likes |

deji17: Not just loosing, but loosing badly. There were rumours this guy rocked him during sparring in the past but AJ and his handlers kept on denying the obvious. As much as I know anything can happen in boxing, this utterly one sided show really hit me hard. It's as if AJ didn't train at all, or he grossly underrated his opponent's punching power. He was outclassed, outboxed and reduced to nothing. I think it's time he takes a bow. |
Politics / Re: Tinubu’s 2024 Budget Deceitful, Has No Mechanism For Economic Recovery - PDP by OLADD: 10:09am On Nov 30, 2023 |
chiiraq802: I thought by now, your warped senses and those of the mob would have been resuscitated after myopically bringing APC back to power due to inability to reason liberally and conscientiously. For your information, there are only two dominant parties in Nigeria; PDP and APC. If you fail to borrow senses, your lamentation has just begun. I am also sure your conscience agrees with the fact that PDP's 16-year rule was far better than what APC is offering but tribalism and sentimentalism would not allow you to own up to it. Good luck with your mob syndrome. 1 Like 1 Share |

Politics / Coup In Francophone Africa; A Wakeup Call To Nigeria by OLADD: 6:17pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
An adage from the southwestern part of the country soundly situates the waive of forced military takeovers spreading like wild fires across the length and breadth of African Francophone enclaves when it posits that " the death of one's contemporary is nothing but a proverbial warning for the living to take heed". First it was Mali, then Bukina Faso, and before anyone could say Jack Robinson, despite barking from ECOWAS, the US and its allies (and non allies alike), Gabon, a nation of barely the size of Yobe in Nigeria fell into the hands of Khaki Boys! Just less than three months ago, our president, Bola Tinubu still revelling in his 'victory' at the polls, sounded notes of warnings against further military takeovers in Africa while addressing ECOWAS assembly as its chair. Spitting fire and brimstone, so to say, he cautioned of dire consequence for continued military adventures in African politics. Regrettably, recent turn of events in both Niger and Gabon has indeed poopooed his thunderous rhetoric and that of toothless ECOWAS! Now to the crux of the matter. Though many have disingenuously waived aside any possibility of military reentrance into our political landscape, citing the country's demographic dispositions and inherent diversities, however, the greatest mistake we can make both individually and collectively is to throw caution to the winds and behave like the proverbial ostrich. Let no one get me wrong, I am not as a patriotic and responsible countryman advocating for civil unrest or military incursion into our polity. This piece is intended to serve as a dreaded local gong, calling all of us to the reality of our crucial times, judging from what we can see and hear from far and near. Our country, without unnecessary padding of words, requires leadership direction at these crucial moments in its annals of history. There's palpable fear among the citizens, of possible civil and ancillary disobedience if the gale of recklessness and power mongering continues unabated in the polity. Our politicians' indifferent postures in the face of excruciating pains of the teeming masses do not by any stretch of imaginations help the course of the nation. Day-in day-out, the gulf between the rich and the downtrodden gets wider in the country. News of electoral and judicial suppressions feel the air. Election tribunals are been allegedly compromised and manipulated all in a bid to keep the status quo. In not too distant past, our society was correctly categorised as a clime of three tiers of citizenship; the rich, the average livers and the poor. That classification without any iota of doubt has practically evaporated, vanished into thin air and subsumed into two classes of merely the rich and the poor. In other words, in today's Nigeria, one is either poor or rich, no middle ground. Wastage in public space refuses to take downward slide but the hapless citizens are perpetually reminded of the need to persevere. Many are barely living without direction and assurance of tomorrow. With such despondence and pitiable quagmires, shall we still pretend and assume all is well with the nation? And if those saddled with the responsibility of remedying the situation are now the ones that constitute themselves as clogs in the wheel of the progress of the nation, what hope lies our democracy? I am just trying to make sense and I wish our dear country best of luck. Cc; Nairaland Mods. Oladd writes from Abuja. |
