The video assistant referee (VAR) is a football assistant referee who reviews decisions made by the head referee with the use of video footage and a headset for communication.

Peter Obi said and I quote ..

"The referee (Obasanjo) having consulted the VAR system has reviewed his earlier decision and has now decided that the player (Atiku) did not commit a foul"
"Referees also make mistakes in their decision but they can go back and check the VAR to make correction in situations where they make mistake...."


But earlier in the day, Obasanjo made this statement in Lagos while speaking at the 2019 Island Club Quarterly Business Lecture.


Obasanjo said and I quote....

“I have been called names because of my position on Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri Adamawa.

“Everything I have said as far as I have knowledge of Atiku, I have not retracted and I stand firmly by them because they are to the best of my knowledge true.

“And neither has what I have said and written about Buhari been controverted, if anything, they have been confirmed and proved beyond any shadow of doubt.

Conclusion : Obasanjo never said he lied about Atiku. He only said Atiku has apologized to him and Nigerians and he has forgiven him...

VAR is meant to review decision only.. it doesn't forgive.. Like Obasanjo said yesterday, That he forgave Atiku, does not in any way mean what he said was wrong and have been retracted.

Imagine such an analogy, this people think say na play we come do for here, he thinks we are joking, we are talking about a man that in some other countries his jail term will be 100 consecutive life sentences, for the amount he has stolen, do you know how many people died as a result of poverty, caused by those who stole our money, and that idiot is talking about VAR, Nigerians are more intelligent and more discerning than before.

In a capitalist system individuals are allowed to owned whatever they can and is not a crime.

EzeNri:

Anybody supporting Buhari is anti-humans. In 3 years, herdsmen massacred 19,820 Nigerians.

discusant:



Anyone supporting Buhari who can hardly understand what is happening around him due to ill-health and old age is the greatest enemy of Nigeria.

A crooked person can repent and reposition Nigeria to the path of glory, but not a Buhari who can't understand what is happening around him.

Don't mind the dunce. That Obi was just a joker. No initiative fron him. All he did was to make dumb metaphor and derail everywhere. He lacks decorum and he's dunce. Such a shame.


No way would we allow two unorganised dullards get into a position 1 and 2 in this country. We already had that with Jonathan and Sambo.

Pdp, neva again. Yeye dey smell.

The writer of this note is mildly incompetent to adjudge the premise at which illustrative mechanics review are posited, your basic understanding of VAR applicable system in football does not guarantee an assertion that he understands 1 of a 1000 percentile of capabilities of the designers of the mechanism itself, Obi Peter reference a case of the use of the VAR mechanism for economic-level monitoring and not the VAR apparatus itself.

In an attempt to sound knowledgeable of soccer VAR systems, the writer has myopically magnified his limited understanding of the premise at which the Contestant utilized the Premise on the discourse.

This level of fucckery finds home in abysmal level of reasoning populating this once hallowed but now mockery-level forum, such as nairaland.

Tufiakwa to the fo0ls who take the writer seriously. It is an obvious absurdity.

Its like you hate this country because i do not see any reasonable, sensible human being that will watch the apc interview vs the pdp and in his right senses choose the apc.
You want this country to wallow in poverty and mediocrity.
How can you in all honesty think buhari as brain dead as he is can actually lift this country? Even osibanjo, a lawyer has never ran a business, does not understand finances, he does not understand how to turn N10 to N100. How do you things to get better?
The truth of the matter is that from all the candidates, sowore, hasim etc the only team i have seen that can make this country work is atiku obi and this is purely without sentiments.

surevik:
My question now is, “is Obasanjo a god”... Why should we really on the comments he made out of anger and hatred for Atiku, like he said and I quote “ they are to the best of my knowledge true" that was to his knowledge true and not necessary the truth. Get sense and help Baba St. Buhari go back to Daura and rest.

ToyinDipo:
Initially I thought Atiku/Obi are smartw people, who some people thought can make this country work, and thus overlooking their corrupt tendencies. However after watching the candidates I can emphatically say that the duo are half-witted clowns, combined with their non-apologetic thieving nature, they are a total recipe for disaster to this country.

BubuZombi:


Better than you that is assleaking Atiku/Obi.

Kusetic:


If I am to do business with an individual and I make enquiries from his former partner and that one tells me, right in the presence of said individual, that he is a corrupt individual, there is no way on Earth that business will take place. Obasanjo, as his former boss who would have been privy to a lot of things we wouldn't be, has written about atiku's corrupt tendencies extensively and atiku hasn't denied this, he only said he hasnt been convicted of anything. That obasanjo has now decided to forgive him for reasons best known to him doesn't in anyway mean atiku is suddenly no longer corrupt.
