even if it's not Mourinho, any sensible manage would want some sanity in the dressing room, the question is, is that possible with all those egos clashing at some point person gots commot for that team to move forward

Akpororo Jr can play it's just his diva tendencies he needs to sort out.

I don't like people that try to be victim and Victor. You have to choose one and stay there

Madrid real problem is in midfield

This Joshua chin no remedy. I don't think he will survive even a old Wilder cos that chin no go gree am.

Ngannou had to be kicking himself for not getting the chance to test that chin

I think I am a techie and imho when all is said and done for most adults a phone or tablet is largely a media consumption device.

Maybe the younger generation can be manipulated by big tech into using a phone or tablet for work, but for me outside of some productivity apps and email and site pictures, the phone is just there. It cannot match a pc for document editing, management and organisation.

As it is I am trying to get the different teams to do proper document management. WhatsApp is great for day to day site oversight, but lousy when you need to compile a week's or months data if you have not properly set up a system. On top of that let anyone lose their phone or have their phone crash and data may be lost.



One reason for the proliferation of budget devices in Nigeria is that you will find most end users use your flagship phone and your high end phone exactly the same way. The best they will do is have someone at the store 'load' the device for them with free apps. I doubt if most Samsung flagship device users can tell you the free app subscriptions bundled with their phones. I had a galaxy note three some years back. Then any Samsung device came with one year of Evernote subscription. Two years of Dropbox for new users. But I doubt your average phone user even knows what dropbox or Evernote is. E no go pass to install bible or Quran app.

Most of those apps sef na your normal bloatware

If you're not heavy on tech or phone features you no too need the Galaxy series tbh. A Series will do the job

Person wey dey use just Bible app make just maintain with A series

Ibime:
I noticed most of my phones in this budget range last 3 years before becoming slightly slow, not that there is much problem, then I change them.

If I'm using Redmi at £120 for 3 years with no issues, that's £40 per year depreciation

If I'm using Samsung S24 for 5 years with no issues, that's £100 per year depreciation

The Redmi beats the Samsung on the Maths. Not really a techie guy that will need all the extra features. By the time you put screen protector and protective case, I can't tell one phone from another

I no know as I go explain am to you but it's not about the ability to tell from outside, it's about when you're using both you will easily tell the difference.

You said people were complaining about your camera. You will definitely not have those problems with a Samsung.

Obviously if you're going strictly on costs it's not even an argument Redmi is better

But durability, functions and just the UX. It's not close

bolu96:
Preach sir! Preach sir!!

It's still the best among them all. I will die on that hill

iamoyindamola:
What of samsung rainbow or Netflix screen
A series are okay compare to S series that develop screen issues

A Series is also good and probably better for Ibime since he no wan too spend but S-series to me is much better if you care about camera and processing speed.

Screen issues I feel like you have to totally smash your screen to have issues with Samsung. Anyway without being told you should probably get Gorilla glass protection

GloriousGbola:
@ibime I and my business partner have/had Samsung phones. Both our phones developed faults at periods when we could needed urgent backups and could not shell out 500 to 900k. We bought xiaomi.

The ui is not as smooth as that of Samsung and it has a tendency to aggressively push ads and wallpaper themes at you.

It's an issue for me, but my pikins who I got xiaomi phones for have embraced the themes and are using their own unique styles.

IMHO just ensure you buy a phone with reasonably high spec and you will be fine.

Don't know what particular features are important in the UK, but for me personally I use the phone to make calls, as a work communication tool (WhatsApp), for site pictures, to faff around on Nairaland, to browse reddit, watch YouTube videos.

Last time I played a game on a phone must have been years ago. Outside of that one or two productivity apps I don't really use. I am sure you are the same

I have never personally been able to justify buying a high end Samsung or iPhone. A good 4k TV was 500 to 800k. This was also the price of a phone. I can enjoy a movie, TV shows and games on a giant screen. Why would I be watching a movie on a 6 inch screen? All that 2k or 4k screen resolution Etal makes no technical sense to me on a 5 or 6 inch screen. Imho valve understood this which is why steam deck resolution is 720p. Theres always talk about using your phone as a pc replacement or supplementary device, but if you are an actual power user this becomes bs very quickly. Some of my guys in the field have edited office documents on thier phones with horrible results. Document formatting 101% scattered.

If you are looking for a redmi alternative maybe go for the new Motorolas. Jerryrigeverything had a great review for a $500 model recently that he compared with the s26.

I suspect that as a numbers guy you are not impressed with the real value proposition of high end Samsung phones especially as they are not a UK status symbol. You guys did invent classicism, after all.

Also there is the Samsung a series from a0x to a7x I think. These are budget Samsungs and the 0 to the 7 apparently indicates the grade. For instance the a0x series is almost all plastic, two lenses with mediatek. A5x has amoled (I think) with three to four lenses.

Invest in a good Samsung @Ibime. S23-24

No be about classism. That's the only brand I know you can use 4-5 years with no issues. As far you don't crack the screen

No phone like Samsung IMO

popizaino:
Tbh,showing me this list of passing stats just show you don't understand the role but who am I to say anything if Rodri is your goat DM.

Lmaoo. You're showing line up. I'm showing performance stats that matched up my eye test. Big difference

Every thing Busquets did Rodri does better. I have proven beyond reasonable doubt Fraudsquets is the biggest passenger the game has ever seen

Akpororo Jr to Arsenal will be problematic for PL teams oh.

Is Madrid sure of what they are doing? Moving Vini to satisfy a washed up Mourinho is risky business

popizaino:
Don't blame Luiz Enrique,he actually learned from this

Sergio Fraudsquets

Carried at 24

Carried at 34

Passenger Emeritus

You know the degree of fraud you have to be for me to agree with airmark

greypencils:
Ghosting difficult matchups, showing up April-May, we all know the script. Only Bronsexuals are on standby to defend with the ready made excuse 'His age'. Kiss my black a*** already.

Anyone that's old should retire. I don't care about that. Every year on the court counts

The good part is winners like Brown and Nick Nurse is already there so no one can claim he led them anymore. If they will win it will be with him as the 3rd guy at best

Bimmarlykay:
Nope! Rodri didn't deserve it,FiFA bluffed,and you could see other sporting sites correcting it. Anyways, let him have it,Messi has more than enough,Balon D'Or next.

Go and collect it from his hand na.

Wetin consign me with Messi fan boys sporting site? They can organize their own World Cup and give Messi all the trophies

Balon D'or wey Rodri go collect and you go come here come cry extra. OK nau

Sportsweb:
As if starting ahead of someone means you are better. It just coach preference sometimes and Luis Enrique paid dearly for that horrendous mistake.

La Funtes is now flexing and enjoying his Rodri era with back-to-back major trophies

Enrique copy copy syndrome na wetin kill am. He's like that student that will copy your answer for exam, wrong oh right oh. Even copy your matric number join.

Fanboys falling for the hype is one thing but coach should know better.

This is a professional passenger that was average at best even in his prime. Even I had to go back watch games and look at stats to see I had massively overrated this guy.

To tell you most of these Busquets supporters are following crowd they keep bringing up a tournament where he was thoroughly outplayed by Rodri filling at CB.

How useless can you be as a DM for your Center Back to be creating all the chances and tripling your passing output.

This is why I called him Passenger Emeritus. Even in his supposed prime he was a passenger talk less of when he was completely washed

Bimmarlykay:
Weytin you dey post, should i post Messi's?

Sorry. What does that have to do with 2026 World Cup in review?

We are not arguing Messi status. I've already said it since that he has passed Ronaldo and the debate is over

However for this tournament the deserved winner is Rodri. Give credit where it's due and move on like a sportsman

I wonder how Brad Stevens feels. Probably gift wrapping the Sixers of all team a chip. And for what? Paul George

He better visit a shaman and pray for injuries

etidy:
LeBron: The NBA has a ring culture problem and blames the media for it.

Also LeBron " Let me hop on the most stacked team in the league because I want to ring chase at 42 years old"

If the media talk now, they will say it's being unfair.

You dey follow LeBronze mouth? He's always been a shameless ring chaser. Even the most notorious Bronsexual cannot pretend this is not a ring chase

It's a Superteam. And I will shock people. If LeBronze accepts the Robin of the Robin role. I mean legit accept he's the 3rd guy. The Sixers are instant favorites. Especially with Nick Nurse as coach

KCP, Simons and Dean Wade off the bench is a solid support cast.

The key is LeBronze accepting he's the 3rd possibly 4th guy

And the usage. Woof. Maxey, LeBronze, Brown, Embiid on one ball

Wotowotoman:
Ryan Clark and ‘woke’ in the same sentence?

He's the Deacon of Woke. Jalen Rose left and passed the baton to him now he's passed it to some light skinned doofus David Dennis Jr

Wotowotoman:
Of course he didn’t get to mature properly. The guy has been grinding since he was like 15. This is the first time in his life that he gets to chill and just enjoy life. Cut him some slack!

Ironically I wasn't slandering him. This was actually me understanding why he is the way he is. Only child of a single mom that's 6'8 and athletic. It all makes sense actually

SmooshCHN:
Exactly! I don’t get why LeBron gets a pass. Players have every right to move wherever they want because it’s completely within the rules even though I 100% agree that some moves are just foul.

LeBron himself has openly said he wants to be where he can compete for championships. So I don’t understand why the same people cheering and making excuses for this; same people who celebrated him teaming up with stars in Miami during his prime are the loudest critics of Kevin Durant for doing something similar. They bandwagon from Cavs to Miami to Cavs then Lakers and now Philly but have the audacity to call KD names; the double standard is nauseating and they should be ashamed (not really; they break no rules and have no shame). Everybody is a ashewo; Ajala most especially. It's that simple.

Bronsexuals will look you dead in the eye and tell you what he's doing is different from what KD did. When it's even worse. Hypocrisy

He's going to be playing with star guys over a decade younger than him.

It is one thing to form a Superteam with guys your age. When you are now teaming up with players born in the late 90s and 00s.

This means you can coast and let the younger guys do the heavy lifting on both ends of the floor while you show up in April-May

The longevity is an achievement but when you're playing with your age mate first then Kyrie and Love, Then AD, Then Luka and now Edgecombe, Brown and Maxey who are at least 12 years younger. You are gaming the system

birdman:
No wahala, I think my earlier post was a bit harsh, I have a dozen stories like this, obviously not high profile people, just regular naija immigrants. So I do get opinionated on the matter.

Consider this, that what rg3 did to cause the hit is not widely known. Its RCs response thats everywhere. I dont want to parse context and make post too long other than the media machine has agenda. But RG3 and RC represent two kinds of mid aged black men. And they will never see eye to eye.

Maybe Ill make another post. I wss talking to fellow naija here d other day, 10 years in the country and he still didnt understand the koko of the system

Once you start questioning someone's blackness or their black card that's where I draw the line.

And from the outside looking in. Black people are the only ones that do that nonsense. I have special disdain for the self appointed black sheriffs that think it is their place to tell black men what to do and how to think.

RG3 is a notorious milkman. You might have disagreement with that but I have not seen anywhere he is actively harming BW. He does not owe anybody his seed, not even BW

There's also a level of 🍆 policing that goes on with BM especially the athletes in that community that really pisses me off but that is topic for another day

So if he gives a valid basketball critique and your response is that he shouldn't be speaking on it cos he's married to a WW. That is crazy talk. He still has sisters, his mother and relatives that are black. His daughters will be viewed as black

When you leave the meat of what he's saying and drill down and dog whistle his relationship cos you know how the attack dogs will hunt BM like him. I'm sorry I don't respect that. The fact that he has a White BM also makes him a hypocrite and tells you he's probably over compensating

Bimmarlykay:
So what did Rodri have over Messi?

Go and drag that one with FIFA.

All the sites you posted maybe they hosted one World Cup that we don't know about

LeBronze is so shameless with his ring chasing he joined the team of the guy that said his son is trash and don't belong in the league

birdman:
Ryan Clark, the guy who won Emmy for himself and the show? Both of yall need to clam down, there are things you fundamentally do not get about the country you have immigrated into. They playing chess, you playing checkers - dont let your immigrant success fool you, better study the playbook. Luckily RC pivoted, knowing what was coming. One post enough for the wise. If not, argue with yourselves and realize your error in a decade or two.

I no dey una zones sha but leave all this talk.

Won the Emmy for himself? Na only am dey the show? What of the host. Laura who's actually pretty good and the others. Please. Stop pretending like people give a crap what that man has to say

Do you know how many times that man has had to come online to apologize for some bone headed nonsense he said fuelled by fake SJW BS.

Do you know how ridiculous you sound calling Lamar Jackson the first authentically black QB. What does that even mean? Where does he put Jalen Hurts, Mahomes, Russell Wilson. Abi na only one type of black dey?

The part he said about RG3 is what pissed me off the most. I despise people that push hive mind rhetoric or think they can decide the degree or level of people's blackness depending on whether they agree with your talking points or not

I don't think any immigrant should be going above and beyond brown nosing anybody. I don't endorse foolishness be you black or white.

Don't worry, with what the demographics and black politics is saying and their support for detrimental choices (abortion, LGBT agenda,lack of family values) African immigrants are not the ones that will be realizing their errors

Wetin consign us with your okrimo list. Wey any nerd or virgin fit compose

It's the same Athletic that also posted this. So if you like dey jogodo yourself

Rodri out of position at CB still destroyed your passenger Emeritus at his preferred position

You scored your biggest own goal yet using that as an example

I have shown you example of the great fraud carried in Euro 2012

Euro 2016 time to do the carrying olule.

Passenger Fraudsquets.

Show us match performance. E dey show us Formation graphics.

Passenger Fraudsquets. Super team merchant

Passenger Emeritus

Sportsweb:
In big 2026 people are still comparing the bang carry along Busquet to Don Rodri.. its mental illness

Me I feel say na craze

This is who they were hyping for starting ahead of Rodri. Because Enrique that should know better also fall mugu

Just compare the difference in production. This is why we call him passenger

Imagine a CB doing triple the work of DM.

Rodri completed x3 the passes of Fraudsquets. Carried at young age and old age. Passenger Emeritus

popizaino:
Provide a counter evidence as to why Rodri starting at Euro 2020 didn't win any game for Spain but took Sergio Busquet been called into the starting lineup to win a game in the group stage?

You have no evidence abi do you?

Show us Fraudsquets Golden Ball or Balon D'or

Explain why he was making 40 passes in a game at 28 year old smack dab in his prime. I thought he was the king of possession

Why this yeye app no allow me upload more images to destroy this Fraudsquets once and for all.

This is Rodri at Center Back. Dominating. Meanwhile Popiziano is flexing a mugu coach inability to bench a clearly washed Professional Passenger like Fraudsquets

Tell me any coach with working brain that would not have sat this fraud

You're applauding a mugu coach for lacking the balls to bench a useless player.

Yeye dey smell
