Roland17:
@A40, the Stanley Cup Final starts tomorrow, who do you have?

Panthers v Oilers.

The NHL universe desperately needs McDavid to win a championship. I don’t know how many players get a consecutive Final appearance after losing the prior. Also, they have to win now because I doubt there is much they can do with their roster after this season. They don’t have a lot of youth to build from.

If I am the Oilers, I am worried about the Panthers and their away record, which is impressive. Hyman is going to be missed in this series because of his ability to rotate between the 1st and 3rd line.

I didn't even know Oilers are the home team. I doubt it matters. These Panthers will beat you in your driveway

I'm watching now and e be like Thanos.

Oilers scored within 1 minute and seconds. Panthers no even flinch. Equalized quickly and the coach go challenge the goal. Failed challenge. Power play Panthers. Marchand punished them.

This Panthers team na real juggernaut

birdman:
One truth does not imply another. Jimmy Buckets won it one year as well

And? Jimmy has actually gone all the way to the Finals as the guy.

AD is a generational player anybody with eyes can see it but he's not an Alpha dog. That also counts.

I've seen Siakam in a NBA title close out game do 26 and 10.

airmark:
You be mumu.

Man City went unbeaten for 26 matches and along the line won the Ucl, with their striker being the highest goal scorer. That's impact. That's what i expect PSG to do without a striker before putting them up there. Not luckily pipping Liverpool on PK and got roasted by Aston Villa with their hearts in their mouths in the dying minutes, and only saved by the clock.

Any smart analyst will not be twerking for a team that was beaten and nearly knocked out by Aston Villa. i know Enrique will not be stupid not to replace Ramos with a potent finisher to upgrade the attack for next UCL.

You be certified m0ron. What special award did Man City get for going unbeaten?

They won treble, so did PSG. What did City win that PSG did not win? Okrimo

Only a crazeman like you will claim they beat Liverpool by luck, they are the only team that comprehensively dominated Liverpool in Europe this season.

Aston Villa is a solid team they beat us even with Harry Kane as striker. You have no point

How could they have gotten knocked out by Villa ehn odenson. PSG were far and away the better side on both legs and Villa did what any home team would do. Give the away team a scare.

They scored 38 goals this Champions league campaign and this clown is talking about attacking upgrade.

Android17:
They give you a Golden UCL trophy for finishing unbeaten but a silver one for losing 4 games in the group stages. In fact, there are some seasons where you may not even be given the UCL trophy if you didn't win it unbeaten. That's why PSG need a traditional striker. If you don't agree, you're an illiterate.

No mind that werey. E don start him mad man rants disguised as analysis again.

Why Man City with their ultimate striker no go back to back.

Imagine watching this tactical masterpiece and poetry in motion we saw yesterday and you're chatting megedefegede about striker.

All the teams that have gone unbeaten and had striker which of them scored 5 goals in a Final.

Even the Haaland he's shouting about did he score in the final they went to? No be Rodri bail them out? Did Lautaro score?

Skrrrrrrr:
Halliburton was only second in PPG to siakam.
He was number one in every other statistical category.....
So nope, their best player was clearly Halliburton....

Oya nau. Go and take the award from Siakam.

Siakam did the single most important thing to win basketball games in the post season and that is score buckets

The rebounding margin was just 1. You think Siakam couldn't lead the Pacers in boards if he was a stat hunting merchant?

Siakam was their most consistent player. The only player you can pencil in 15points every night. Haliburton had 2 games with less than 15 points. The Pacers won one of them. Because of Siakam

airmark:
Man City were a more complete and impressive team, that's why they pull that record. This PSG haven't done anything monstrous to deserve you twerking massively for them. But if calamitous Boathand could excite you, ofcourse you would do a backflip for the Parisiens.

Do you think every season they will be lucky to play a 'striker-less' Arsenal and a jaded Inter? PSG will not be stupid to keep faith in the same team when they can obviously replace a redundant Ramos with a more potent striker.

A striker in MSN flourished, why won't a Gyokeres shine with Dembele and Kvara? Make una no dey chat shIt.

You're a doofus. Did PSG win treble or them no win treble? Dispatching every PL team in their midst. The rest you're chatting is your usual noise

BoaTANK in his prime won 2 CLs and a World Cup. Pedro is the only player in Chelsea history that can boast of that so put some respect on his name

The same striker less Arsenal that flogged Madrid home and away?

Where's the Man City and their Haaland today? Remind me what they won this season. Okrimo

They do not need no unproven Gyokeres that has done nothing outside a poverty Portuguese league. League Darwin Nunez was shining in till we saw his true colors

airmark:
I prefer to go for a team with 26 unbeaten runs, led by a traditional striker in Haaland. Let PSG break this legendary record without a striker before twerking for them.

Goncalo Ramos is not Gyokeres or Osimhen. The highest number of league goals he scored in Portugal, was 19. You can't compare him to a Gyokeres scoring 39 league goals in a season in the same league.

Osimhen or Gyokeres will make this team more lethal. Rest.

You're yarning dust as usual. Them dey give bonus trophy for unbeaten run or what?

They don't need no damn Gyokeres or Osimhen. They won the treble without them. What did Gyokeres or Osimhen achieve with their respective teams?

This PSG with Doue, Barcola, Kvara have not even peaked yet. Their style of play makes a striker just a bonus and not a must have

Ridwan1821:
He made 7 straight All star at NOP, made 3 of his 4 All NBA first team and won all 3 of his block champion there. I think you're judging him by the fact he played #2 to Bron in LA.
It's so hard to play with LeBron and be the number 1 in the team.
Luka is only doing that now because LeBron is 40 and cannot play with same strength/energy like he used to.

Bro. Nobody cares about all of this.

I already question his dog off rip just going to be a #2 with LeBronze. That's why he should never have gone to LA. A tier one talent should not be willingly going to play with a LeBronze that will dim your light.

If he was that guy he would find a team to be a #1 so we wouldn't have to question if he can lead a team

Look I'm not saying AD is not great I'm saying it's just crazy to say Siakam is not comparable to him when he's now been to two conference finals and a NBA Final as the #1 guy on his team. (Don't give me that Haliburton crap, when it comes to playoff Hoops I put higher premium on scorers that can go get their own bucket)

Skrrrrrrr:
No shade to Siakam, but he wasn't the MVP of the Eastern conference finals.
That was Haliburton. This is looking like Iguodala 2015 all over again.
Atleast, this isn't the NBA finals...

Nope. Siakam was their most consistent player.

Haliburton had 2 games under 15. They won a game where he only managed 14 points while Siakam scored 39

Roland17:
Ajala and the Lakers don’t win their Mickey Mouse ring without AD. AD was their best player in that finals series and it is still a travesty that he did not win the MVP. On both ends, AD is demonic on both ends, especially when you consider he is playing the 5, in comparison.

I hate to go deep into this because I really love both players but AD is on another level to be honest. Again, nothing against Siakam.

Siakam leading this Pacers team to the Finals tops whatever AD has done. He can always change my mind if he leads the Mavericks to the promise land

Mind you Siakam did 20-7-3 in a finals series. They don't beat the Warriors without him either

AD has failed to get his teams anywhere near the finals since. AD on paper is a generational talent but there has to be a point where the production is meeting the hype

This other level I'm not seeing it. Where? When?

airmark:
They lost like 4 times in the same Ucl this season to even your team with an Epl relegated coach. A team with a striker did 26 unbeaten runs, let PSG break it without a striker.

Argentina lost to Saudi at the World Cup so what gives.

Teams peak in tournaments all the time. The same Arsenal that beat them in the group stage collect home and away.

The koko is sky is the limit with PSG and they can win another CL in the nearest future. Their style of play makes a striker absolutely redundant. They have a striker. Goncalo Ramos, he can't even get into the team

birdman:
Na crazy statement bros

This says you're lying

Roland17:
Come on now. I can admit it’s not a gulf but AD is on another level if the comparison is Siakam. Nothing against Siakam, I love his game and the maturity in his game but AD despite his injury woes is on another level.

I don't see this level sha when it matter the most.

I'm not saying Siakam is better than AD. But the way una react that year like say na crazy statement. Can you see that its not that crazy and AD game has not been matching the name

Ridwan1821:
We're talking about AD who's a 4 time All NBA first teamer, 10 time All Star, 3 time blocks leader amongst others.
AD has a crazy CV that is underrated.

I don't care about all these things you dey list here. He's been a #2 all his life and needed LeBron to hold his hand.

He's an elite talent but he's not an alpha dog. So it's not crazy to say Siakam is comparable.

ECF MVP. Pascal Siakam

Ridwan1821:
He is a decent baller but not close AD.

Not close is a crazy thing to say. On what merits?

Give me credit for preaching the good news of Pascal Siakam. I want my credit

I was comparing him to AD on Xi Jinping's internet and they called me a mad man

airmark:
They should do it back to back, to show it's not a fluke.

After seeing how they dominated Liverpool and now this final? Fluke is out of the conversation.

Checking the age of their core it can be argued this team has not even reached their peak

The way Rick Carlisle uses his roster. Like a mad scientist.

Still expect OKC to win but it should be competitive

Watching us haggle to overpay a finished Leroy Sane while PSG can leave a young stud like Barcola on the bench while they have young Doue running things

Omo, this post na 4 units university course in agric business and farm management. I feel am gan.

Make I just chip in small as I get small experience for catfish farming.

Catfish farming dey chop people because most folks just stop at rearing and selling fresh fish. Profit no dey that side. The real margins dey inside processing, smoking, packaging and selling as the finished dry product.

Also, make we rear fish and sell to market women doesn't work. Customer must dey ground. Most people making money from rearing catfish have locked-in supply deals and a steady stream of customers. Think hotels, eateries, bush bars, pepper soup joints etc

How the fishes are reared is important too because earthen ponds are better than tarpaulin container ponds. They're more cost effective with no stress in water & waste management The fishes are in a natural habitat so they're healthier and grow better. Also cannibalism is almost non-existent.

Lastly, I think that your pops combo setup of catfish and pigs was wrong. The ideal setup would have been an integrated poultry + catfish farm. The hens are kept in pens, and poop directly into the earthen fish pond underneath. The drippings enter the water, fertilize and grow planktons, and micro organisms that the fishes feed on. It's cheaper to manage, less stressful and you go still make money from selling the birds and their eggs.

Your dad try. No social media, no proper marketing system, no steady buyer and still had the mind to run that kind thing. Maximum respect to him. E no easy at all.

The bolded is where the real money is.

If you get oven to smoke it and send all over you will eat very very good

Spy360:
I personally shut down my mum's poultry farm after years of investing and no returns. She moved from siphoning dad's money when I was in university to syphoning mine as I started working.

Poultry is the most stressful business of all because they're the most fragile. Far more fragile than fish and pigs and they are unpredictable. Your layers fit no lay. Owo ti jona

If one sick e go catch the rest.

That's business you only do when you have money to trowey

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I have started to doubt this.

At best, these businesses are now used to wash money into the system.

I know three malls on Lagos Badagry Expressway. They are not more than 300 naira distance from each other. One has two on it.

After the initial launch where there's crowd,it has become scanty as expected.

Malls and Hotels seems to be the new found love of people who want to wash something into the system.

Toh.

Omo my dad suffered trying to run piggery and fishery back in the day.

He bought some land around the Sango toll gate area and setup a few ponds and a couple of sheds for some pigs. I used to hate school holidays back then because it meant working long hours on a dirty smelly farm with all kinds of insects biting you from every angle.

Once a week, we would go to Nestle factory in Agbara estate to buy waste product from producing golden morn then bring it back to the farm in huge buckets which was already back breaking work, but then we'd have to break it down into smaller bits to feed the fish which was just mind-numbingly boring.

Then we would have to make our own pellets for feeding the some of the other fish as well, which was even more boring. In addition to this, we have to spread nets over the ponds to protect from the herons that would often swoop in, break them and eat our fish. The problem was that the fvcking fish too were eating each other, so we also had to keep draining the ponds to sort the fish by size and move them to different ponds, because Catfish are joyless cannibals when they see their smaller brethren.
And that's also not accounting for the locals in the area that would hop our fence with net and basket to steal fish as well. We caught one particular guy in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon when my dad decided we must go and farm after church, and my brothers and I used annoyance and frustration to beat the guy to almost an inch of his life.
Then the locals gathered to threaten our whole family, my Dad pulls out a machete from the boot, and it becomes this whole mess that only the local Baale could resolve...which required my dad to to squeeze something to the actual thief, and act that pained him and all of us die

Anyway after draining the ponds you have to clean out all the muck and disgusting sht at the bottom, check the gills of the fish for fungus, and all manner of othet disgusting activities.

The piggery side of things was only slightly less disgusting. Pigs don't have hair so they coat themselves in all kinds of literal shit to protect themselves from flies and insects, and given that the farm was basically by a canal, you can only imagine what the hellscape looked like. The stench was unbearable sometimes. Some pigs are also f<cking aggressive and will happily bite your hand off if they could, so we had to watch out for the odd Napoleon when the sows were in hear. The boars will try to bite you and each other, as well as fvck each other. The sows will try to bite you and each other as well as fvck each other. And they're also cannibals.

I say all of that to say this - after enduring all of that BS, when it came to selling the meat and fish, the market women would price you down to almost a kobo if they could, and I saw my dad close to tears on one occasion when he realised that his side hustle wasn't just going to fail to generate the type of revenue he expected, he was going to be disrespected repeatedly during negotiations with the exact type of people he absolutely despises.

After running at a loss for a few years, the nigga just disbanded the whole thing, did a giveaway sale and shutdown operations, but that wasn't even the end of the L. The area where the farm was located is too marshy to support house building without sinking stupid amounts of money into just the foundations alone, and nobody with the kind of money to do that is going to want to live anywhere close to the area, and so he sold the land for I think close to 50% loss.

Monumental L all around. I pity anyone trying to do that business at a small scale. You're just pissing in the wind.

What a story. So many people have tried the whole fish farming and piggery thing. I used to help with my family friend that had a farm at Ayobo many moons ago that had something similar. See me quack vet doctor giving fish injections

The worst is when you pump them with food only to find out somehow someway they're sterile.

Pig na one kin dangerous and wicked animal. I still cannot believe people rear them. If you throw a human being in a sty if e lose guard the pigs fit chow am clean

I'd rather invest in a baddie's wig business with bosom and bunda than anything poultry, piggery and fishery.

You lose time, money and if you're not careful your health

Roland17:
Dem don move from sachet/bottled water to bakery to poultry now.

Na so one of my guy nearly run mad for here because of bakery wen e open for Naija. Na everyday expenses ontop tales by moonlight. If machine no spoil, motor to supply bread get accident or break down to LG/ town council billing, to Oba and Agbero wahala to Nepa, to Diesel to theft of bread....

E no reach 6 months, my guy wen be healthy guy suffer stroke at a young age. No be pesin tell am make e sell the thing even at a big loss. We thank God he is good now but the rehab no be here oh!

Na so one carry proposal for poultry come give me. Moya look away.

Bloody hell. That bakery na another stressful business. Machine, Light. Anything manufacturing business is basically set up to fail in Nigeria. You really can't outgrind a bad system

All these things with poor health care system you go just hear Gone too soon. Person wey never 40 go suddenly pack up

Just avoid anything poultry if you know wetin good for your life. Unless you be Sheikh Mansour

Roland17:
Na wetin you abi na Birdman tell me last season when he stunk up the joint in the conference finals and here we are again.

I go chilax and allow am as u talk BUT if he stinks it up again in the post season next year, I no go gree.

I always like to apply context. Last year loss I'd argue was worse cos they had homecourt and the Mavs were not the Buzzsaw OKC is

The main issue I think is that the praise these guys get when they win is excessive which is why we go overboard with the criticism as we

larride:
That last year run don enter him head. Instead of improving on his game, decided to took the easy way to start spamming 3s.

An horrible performance in this series.

Even as bad as people say Nuggets are, they forced a game 7.

I have been saying it since the regular season that he's headed down the wrong path with this 3pt spamming. Nerds kept showing me useless stats but one thing I know about 3pters especially when you overdepend on it is that when you need it most is when it will abandon you. Just ask the 17 Rockets

There's no reason on God's green earth why a player as dynamic as Antman is taking 10 3's per game. It's a travesty to the sport. He's bailing out the other team and keeping them out of foul trouble

GloriousGbola:
one of my guys runs a piggery and some years back the pigs contracted some sort of virus. dude had to kill them all and sell at a loss.

if you do not have a nuts and bolts understanding of the business you are getting into, you will get shafted it is actually better to enter as a jjc at ground zero and grow organically. entering as an inexperienced big player you can urn through your money very very fast.

we helped a former colleague build a station. but you CANNOT run a station without being on ground at the start. it just does not work. your staff will RIP you to death. there is no way you can remote manage it until you understand the business.

i met with a bigwig last year. man wanted to do a full upgrade of one of his stations. put in a mega shopping mall. the whole team were saying the mall is the only mall in the area, people will come there. and here i am , who has built multiple stations in the past where we had expected rent reveue that went nowhere. i told the man to have his team crunch the numbers because i did not believe their projections were valid. that was the end of the project. they just did a refurb. the man too had just hammered some serious money and was likely thinking he was on a good investment. money would have been wasted.

Certain business are stressful and the overhead is just too much.

It's a catch 22 for poultry, fishery and piggery. If you're not hands on they would rob you blind, on the other hand it's a very physical and time consuming endeavor. Your most important currency is time and those business will monopolize it without sure guarantee of return. You have to be mentally and physically built for it

There just has to be a way to mechanize farming on a micro scale but a country that can't generate 5000MW of power. How do you pull that off

And sorry to that big wig oh. Mega shopping mall when the purchasing power of the average Nigerian is at it's lowest? Yeah good luck with that
