I agree with you my bro. Tinubu should continue.
Tinubu till 2031. cool
Yes. If Atiku cannot step aside let Tinubu continue. They are the same in my eyes

This your emotional south and north politics is what will hand the next year election to Tinubu before 3pm once more. Anybody that has the means should better start perfecting their japa plans because the wailing go loud because there's no way someone that is this terrible in first term when he still need votes won't be a disaster in his final term when he no longer need votes.

Complain about Tinubu today, tomorrow insinuate that he should continue because of emotional politics, next tomorrow wail about his policies and governance style.

Clowns.
Are you an Atiku man? It's OK to admit oh

Now I don't agree with this North and South business either but for the sake of parity that's the best arrangement for now.

The issue is why is he contesting in a period that should be the South's turn. This is the same guy that betrayed GEJ and allowed this APC monster to clutch to power to begin with. And for that alone I would rather Tinubu win than for Atiku to smell Aso Rock

He has never fought fair and his selfishness I find off putting. Obasanjo saw that and refused to endorse him at every turn which is highly unusual anywhere in the world cos most Presidents back their vice to continue from where they stopped

Lord Lugard is representative of the colonial legacy that has destroyed any prospects of Nigeria surviving as a state.

When you artificially create a state to include ethnic groups that historically had little contact with each other, share almost no culture, language or religious principles and then disappear - the only way for those groups to stay in the single country is federal character.

The British implemented direct rule in the south, and indirect rule in the north creating the educational divide that exists today - yet the largely uneducated North must be represented in government regardless of their lack of education, skill, exposure, or experience.

The argument for representation is what has led Nigeria to go from 3 regions to 4 regions to 12 states to 19 states to 30 states to 36 states, and has given us the ridiculous concept of a 'South-South' geographical reference.

It is impossible to move to a political scenario where anyone can consider what is best for the country when the starting line is the consideration of what is best for each individual nation state.

When the political equation forces a southerner to cut deals with northerners to buy support for a national election that cannot be won solely on the merit of the manifesto, then the Defence portfolio HAS to be for sale, same as all other ministerial and legislative slots.

Make no mistake by thinking Tinubu is uniquely at fault here - he is btw, but the political fragmentation in Nigeria means that Democracy is ironically the worst possible political system to practice in the country. If political thought cannot be debated by a majority culturally homogeneous which we clearly lack, the only option to keep Nigeria as a single country is consolidate political thought and power into a small centralised axis like we had during the military era. I don't believe that's what any rational and right minded person should be subscribing to.

However I do believe it's the only option with a reasonable chance of keeping Nigeria as a single non-failed state long term. The alternative which is what I believe in, is to break the goddam contraption into pieces and try to undo the havoc of the colonial administration that created it solely to streamline their resource extraction efforts more efficiently.

There is no hope. The previous 'improvement' in the administrations post Abdusalam Abubakar were just the consequence of the lag between the effects of the centralised government winding down and the effects of proportional representation catching up.

Nigeria has always been doomed. Tinubu or no Tinubu.
The earlier we realize we are basically SFR Yugoslavia the better for everyone

In the weeks leading up to the Gyokeres transfer, he started to use the term "My Gyokeres"..... The proper striker. Said proper striker was benched in the final for a player Chelsea rejected as a striker.

People like me have been trying to update his football OS for over 3 seasons now. Phuock thy striker, na support cast matter pass. The guy no gree hear.

Na proper Clown Analyst.
He lacks shame. That is the critical factor you have to recognize when debating him.

Havertz starting ahead of Gyokeres should have silenced him permanently. Especially when it's Havertz of all people. A nobleman would have put his hands up and apologized

I don't know how you look at PSG and their dynamic attack line and still be talking about traditional striker

Liverpool bought two #9s and had their most embarrassing season in recent memory so no be by that one

As I see your post I just relax 😌

Make e come tell us how Arsenal with ‘propah strika’ Gyokeres no win UCL against Enrique with improper fraction striker
He has refused to update his football OS. Like someone still using Dial-up when Starlink Don dey

The proper striker didn't even start he was benched for Havertz of all people who actually scored while Gyokeres dey romance him hair for pitch for almost one hour

And they could only equalize through awoof PK. No open play goal in 120 minutes of action and Enrique even brought in a washed striker when he was looking for goal.

You be mumu for thinking PSG were superb in that match without a striker and the referee had to weaken Arsenal's most effective side with undeserved yellow cards. A PSG with an effective striker wouldn't need to be aided by referee before winning the match.

Who you got?
Knicks or spurs?
Spurs just seem like a team of destiny to me. Though I worry that Knicks can take advantage of their inexperience like the Thunder failed to do cos make no mistake they caught a huge break with Mitchell and Williams out

And that's why I'm leaning towards the Knicks

it should be 2, kepa na jeje boy, but that mumudueke and Havert, especially that madueke
You should be glad that they are buying your Aloku players for good money as well.

Can't imagine being angry that someone overpays for Upamecano, Stanisic and Goretzka for example

Havertz apart from the goal has been a flop, Madueke is mid and Kepa cost them a final

For years, PSG’s failures in Europe were blamed on the “low level” of French football.

The moment they won it, the same lack of competition suddenly became an advantage. It give them the freedom to focus on Europe.

When English clubs dominated, it was proof their league is miles ahead of every other in Europe.

The second they struggle, now the league is too competitive.
The narrative always makes me laugh. If they are beating the best teams in your league. Why will they not beat the teams in their league as well. Especially since you swear your league is the toughest. Isn't that common sense

What does it matter that your league is the toughest if none of them can beat these guys

And a striker raised them from the dead. A40 how far?

I am happy Enrique didn't buy a quality striker like Gyokeres. Let's see how they will win next Ucl.
Are you still happy?

You see your life? grin

3 years in a row now a team has not needed a striker

Why will the Bucks give Giannis to OKC and collect Chet in return?
Why not? OKC will add them picks as well. They need to start their rebuild in earnest. Giannis is already 32. They get a young big they can build around

aliondo:
I greet you boss...

This is a serious food for thought..

Giannis or Chet? huh undecided
You can't possibly bring back Chet after this display. This dude is legit scared of Wemby. Y'all could have still beaten the Spurs if Chet wasn't so terrified

The issue when you give non max players max money is that your flexibility is completely destroyed. (see Denver)

Between Williams injury and Chet Wembophobia you have to move fast. The Spurs are only going to get better

@Roland17

Who do you have for the Stanley Cup? Canes or Knights. After seeing the Knights systematically destroy the Avs that were supposed to win it all it's hard to pick against them. But the Canes have also been knocking on the door.
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:00am On May 31
Told y'all Spurs would win the series. A bit fortunate with the injury luck though

As for OKC turns out all the dynasty talk was premature, a little injury here and there and you're cooked

The bigger problem is the disgusting performance of Chet. He was terrified. And his max kicks in next season. Oof. What do you do with that

If I were Presti I would be calling the Bucks right now

Someone might have also stepped up before Gabriel. For some reason I hate CBs taking penalties especially a decider unless it prolongs. Really feel sorry for their fans.
Madueke. Wth was the need to bring him on. He's a forward. Putting that kind of pressure on a center back when he's there is irresponsible

I can't blame Gabu, he had a spectacular Final.
That PSG keeper is cheeks. Eze and Gabi really fumbled. Keep the PK on target and you're good to go. I kept screaming just keep your penalty on target

Its good for him imo. He depends on it too much. He is too skilled to be playing that way.

The game 7 we all waiting for is here!
Where is that cat that was claiming he preferred series sweeps? Lol
It's wild how average SGA has looked this whole series without the refs bailout package

His hack is very simple, put you in foul trouble early so he scores easy buckets on the line then you can't guard him properly the rest of the game. However when he actually doesn't have no help from the refs a 30+ game quickly turns to a low 20s
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:32am On May 29
Feels like the Spurs should be up by more.

SGA struggling now that he actually has to work for his buckets and refs have decided not to call ticky tack fouls

I meant Danny Green. Danny did it with several teams, at least 3 at a top level.

Draymond is a product of the Warriors, I doubt he is this successful out of the Warriors.
I still have Caruso over Green cos he's more integral and just the glue.

If you watch this OKC team he gives them that experience and edge. Defense, offense whatever they need any given night

Look at him just banged another 3. 20 points now. Caruso is legit

OKC showing their depth oh. Champagne is the only reason this is not a blow out

greypencils:
It will be really funny and really stupid. Front offices should know the times have changed. Superstars and superteams will win you nothing ATM. Youth, strength, talent, hunger & discipline will. OKC, Spurs and Detroit, Celtics & GSW have dropped blueprints on how to build through the draft alongside supplementary pieces. Any other experiment will fail at least for now. Teams like the Knicks have done well to build a decent roster with no outstandingly big names at the inception of building the team, no batmen, just a collection of robins and outright nobodies.
If you don't have at least two two way guards or forwards you are absolutely cooked.

There's a reason OKC are not completely crippled by Williams and Mitchell's absence. They have like 3 replacement guys that can produce at 80%

I am looking at the Lakers too. If they like let them give big money to Reaves and close Luka's title window completely

The days of ball dominant-heliocentric guards are done
