Roland17:
@A40

Did you see the Adesanya beat down? That was embarrassingly poor from Adesanya. I mean, he looked like an amateur out there with those tap kicks that ultimately killed him. He was careless with a lot particularly his blocks.

Adesanya has lost that dog and killer instinct. It was sad to watch.

I don't know if finally beating Pereira was the end goal for him and he tuned out after that.

The beating from Strickland is what's looking like has affected him. That 25 minute beat down. I know I couldn't be a coach cos if you're not showing me something the first 3 rounds by the middle of the 4th I will pull you out of the fight.

That beating shortens lives and careers. A knockout is far far better. Same thing with JDS and Cain. The worst thing that can happen as a fighter is to suffer a 25 minute beating. You're never quite the same

His reflexes are shot. I think that speed and elusiveness he's lost it. Cos prime Izzy would not even have been there for Imavov to hit. Imavov is a decent fighter with all due respect but Izzy pre-Strickland would just wipe the floor with him

AirBere:
I know say nah DEI hire. I know he's mediocre but whatever happens, win the league; firstly for Kane, he's tried for football and also for Kompany. Kompany is my own personal agenda as I really want to see what will happen to football and also what will really happen in this thread after Kompany wins the league. Please hang in there and claim it. Thanks 🙏 🙏 🥺 🥺

The league is forgone conclusion. I don't judge no Bayern manager by what you do in the league. I judge by Europe and thus far m not impressed.

greypencils:
Can Klay be trusted? That's the question. This trade makes no sense to me at all. They already better. They made the finals with their current squad. All they needed was a back up guard who could play defense. Then in the heat of the moment, you remove either Kyrie or Luka.

The bigger question is how do you accept 1 first round pick for prime Luka freaking Doncic.

He would or should be barred from all NBA team arenas and facilities if the Mavs don't win a title. That is literally the only way you can justify this trade

Roland17:
The puzzling part for me is what the Mavs are getting in return and not the trade itself. Something had to give. He may not be Embiid but he has had recurring injuries and issues with his weight and conditioning.

The fact that the Mavs shopped him, were willing to let him go for almost nothing tells me they were done with him. I mean how do you explain that M. Bridges hauled 1st round picks and Luka was worth just 1?

Make dem investigate that Mavs GM.

He must either be the world's biggest dumbass or he sold the Lakers a bill of goods

Quitting on a soon to be 26 year old seems bizarre. Unless they're on to something sinister and know something about Luka long term that we don't

On the flipside AD has been bitchin for a hot minute about playing at the #4. Now he joins a team with 2 legit centers. I'm interested to see how that pans out

So Mavs will look like

Kyrie
Klay
PJ
AD
Gafford

Looks pretty formidable if everyone is healthy

Roland17:
I am hearing the Mavs were the ones that even offered him to the Lakers. Luka’s poor conditioning, something I have been harping about for a long while now has come to bite him because it was central to why the Mavs moved on from him. With another Supermax in the horizon, the Mavs were not going to make the same mistake the Sixers made with Embiid.

Haba Luka is not even remotely close to Embiid. Younger and has taken them further.

This is a puzzling trade. Especially when you are getting glass man AD who is turning 32.

This is like the lottery company calling and asking if you want to win the lottery.

Unbelievable stuff from the Mavs. All they got was AD and a first rounder

raumdeuter:
Kompany na mediocre. He almost tied Holsten Kiel at home. The harakiri high line is making the defence look so bad

I was hoping Palhinha will make things better

Na DEI hiring. Person wey play as Central defender. The one place wey I believe say we go solid.

The personnel is mediocre already then you use your rubbish tactics to compound the issue.

Anyway let's just hope we get past Celtic.

Nothing about Palhinha jumps out to me. Another average Joe we overpaid for. Let's see if he proves me wrong

Luka to the Lakers. Omo wetin dey occur

Melvyn11:
I nor know wetin una dey see for the Justin Bieber picture o. The guy looks normal to me. Na just the short hair and beards plus wearing big shirt and jeans.

They're used to his puberty and prepubescent face. Maybe them think say e go be small pikin forever

That's a 30 year old man. He looks like a 30 year old man looks. People just feel like flapping their thumbs and flapping their gums

I doubt you would board a plane if you knew the ATC and the pilot got their jobs because they ticked the right boxes.
You don't want the experienced staffers morale to go down in such a crucial sector by bringing in people who never underwent what they went through to qualify.

Like that rapper wey dey complain say Lyft no carry am file lawsuit. Someone needs to create a new startup and call it ForkLyft to carry land whales like that

This Goonie goo goo was still on the internet talking junk. That's the issue with this woke culture that has normalized nonsense. Someone wey dem suppose shame enter gym

Roland17:
Watch these ones lose this game!

Jayson Tomtom said No

I don even forget say this year CL Finals go hold for Allianz

Saw the playoff draws and we narrowly escaped Madrid and got Celtics instead. Embarrassing that we are even at this point. The team wey wipe us 3 Lille wipe them 6

Mathys Tel has asked to leave. Who curse us with mid coaches like this. From Tucheliban to Kompany. These jokers can't even groom and develop talent. What do we do if anything happens to Kane. It's really infuriating

This Nuggets defense is abysmal. Make Yabusele dey use you score career high

On the plus side looks like Jamal Murray is getting his groove back

Roland17:
I have always maintained that I don't need religion to decipher between good and evil.

Also, if na based on the kain righteousness when dem dey preach about, I no sure say naija go get up to 50 representatives for heaven.

Religion overall is good where rightly applied. It's like Ibuprofen. 2 will cure a headache 8 will land somebody in the morgue potentially

Nigeria and a lot of these overly religious countries are proof of that. Seeing people that are always willing to fight and battle for a God that's supposed to be all powerful and immortal is just illogic to me. Like if God wanted us all to be Christians or Muslims so many religions wouldn't exist. So if God didn't make it that way what makes you think you're greater than him

BlueRayDiick:
I believe this settles the shariah court in the south west matter 🙅‍♂️

For a religion of peace the followers sure are quick to violence

DeadPresidents:
Has anyone here had to learn a new language as an adult? Please share your experience.

I just passed TELC B1 Deutsch (German Intermediate level proficiency exam) and I swear that’s the most difficult exam I’ve written in a while. Even more difficult than Tech certification exams like Linux and Cisco.

Makes me realise how difficult picking up a new language.

I know say Raumdeuter, Afrodoc2 and A40 go dey habla Español like say tomorrow nor dey

Omo. I don try and fail with German and Spanish. You don give me small inspiration like this to knuckle down. I made some progress with German but stalled a bit

Congratulations. That's no small feat. Picking up a new language as an adult is incredibly difficult. You think you have a grasp on it till you are speaking with a native and you don't hear half the things they are saying

What were your learning tools with Deutsch?

iamoyindamola:
Exactly
I use to tell people if I was raised in ifa worshipping house I won't have any business with other religions
I also believe in live and let others live, you can't be forcing or judge people in there choices

It's really as simple as that. Once you start being militant about your religion is where you will always lose me. The negative PR people get when they say they don't want to be Christians and even worse when they say they don't want to be Muslims anymore is always baffling to me cos Las Las na only God know those wey go eventually make am

iamoyindamola:
Lol
Religion was extracted from culture
Culture is the way of live, your belief is also part of your culture
So why will you want to carry a sub of culture ahead of culture

Abi. What if you now change religion?

Even the religion Nigerians carry for head is by product of where they were born. If they were born in Japan they will be Shinto, in China they will be in one Shaolin temple.

I'm one that believes in a higher power at the very minimum but the way Nigerians go about this religion business that is imported is very annoying

AbokiWam:
I saw the above image on fb
Imagine the audacity of a Nigerian girl.

When I dropped a comment, one of the slay queens attacked me saying "if you can't afford to take CARE of someone, just stay off relationships for now"

I then asked her a very simple question, she couldn't answer

The question : Okay, right now I can't afford relationships what then happens when I hit enough money in hundreds of millions, enough to take care of 6 or 7 girls, hope your gender won't come on social media crying that men are polygamous and are scum?
Since your gender have turned themselves into commodities,

Reason why I don't blame Davido or 2face.
This gender wouldn't rate you at all if you were a pauper
So gather as many as you can afford

The problem is a lot of men have no standards. You scrape from the bottom of the barrel and you're surprised when you get bottom of barrel results

I actually have more respect for the babes that stand on the turf than these ones that try to blend in with civilians

Somebody like this I go ask am how much to enjoy her one time. God forbid make you dey try form relationship with person wey get street walker mindset

KingTom:
He posted his own wins after blowing the other guy's 15k dolls then also posted a new whip for his babe. Na the things wey make the other guy run mad

These guys will fvck with the wrong one one day oh. People don kpai for less.

It's one thing to blow a nigga's dough and another to still be stuntin on the gram

People are losing more with forex and crypto sha tbh

https://x.com/forexblog9ja/status/1884127271050702949?s=19

There's this Kene chap on Twitter. Said to have blew through someone's $15k.

Economy na him I go blame. Truth is everyone is desperate

If you think it's just Nigeria omo you are sadly mistaken.

If you know wetin Betway dey take South Africans eye to see. Anyone who dey enter Eastern and Southern Africa will tell you. I can attest. Go Ghana same thing. Europe. Same thing

It's not just guys. Babes dey fire pass some men sef. Fine babes. You will be shocked.

Raumdeuter wey dey Yankee ask him Idan wey Fanduel and Underdog Fantasy dey run. All the Yankee guys and babes on my time line are cussing some NBA or NFL player every other night

All these things in my opinion skyrocketed with Covid. Something about that pandemic that turned the world upside down and everyone and everything is not back to normal yet.

Roland17:
Last night was a contest of who spam pass. I was watching the game and got irritated, especially in the 3rd. We are not exactly executing any unique type of offense. For a team with dynamic players like JT, JB, Porz and Holiday, one would expect a more expansive offense than we are playing. I have always maintained that a balanced team, particularly one with great defense will punish us and push us in the playoffs.

On J. Butler, i think you are underrating P. Riley. This is a man that has dealt with the best of best and even traded the best player in the history of the franchise to Chicago. When Riley told Butler to shut up after he was making noise about beating my Celtics if he was healthy na when anybody suppose know say Riley is done. Will Butler break into the top 5 All-Time players for the franchise? that is quite debatable. Riley is showing he doesn't mind benching him or keeping him away from the team for as long as he wants. He doesn't look like he is caving to Butler.

The spamming strategy worked last season. It remains to be seen if it will work this time. And whether you will be able to adapt on the fly if it's not working. Y'all are still the class of the East but I worry if you run into a deeper team from the West, your defense is not as strong and the way the Lakers beat una.

I'm not seeing the Buzzsaw squad I saw last season that didn't need Porzingis all that much

I know Riley well and I don't expect him to buckle either. Jimmy has passed his boundaries because this behavior is giving locker room cancer. I think he definitely has to be an All time Heat player for sure. I don't use bad behavior to diminish someone's talents or abilities. Two things can be true

Jimmy has a player option, all he had to do was hold on till the end of the season. Not like the team is going anywhere. If a desperate Sixers team could give PG another heavy 9 figures surely he would have also gotten paid. But now how does any GM with any sense sign him. If I have young players on the brink of contending I already know he will come and contaminate the squad

etidy:
I think Pat Riley is also drinking too much of his kool aid.

You have won titles and you're a legend but that's in the past.
Since he traded for butler who basically fell on his lap for cheap, who has he brought in to strengthen the squad?

All this macho man nonsense only work with old generation. The current crop of players are empowered and you have to pander to them a bit otherwise you won't land the stars.

Calling out Jimmy butler in the off-season was totally unnecessary, how can you be going into a new season and you are publicly calling out your best player for saying your team could have won against Boston if they were healthy.

Butler has walked the talk ever since he got to miami. He may have not won the title but the guy has done herculean carry jobs in the playoffs against far better equipped teams season after season while pat Riley did nothing to improve the team.

Respect they say is reciprocal, Pat Riley should have shown more respect to Jimmy.

Sure, Jimmy's antics have been childish and this seems like a pattern now, but Pat Riley could have gotten a better deal if he had chosen to trade Jimmy as soon it became clear that they were not on the same page.

Jimmy will eventually leave but other star players are watching and when free agency comes along, these things sway decisions.

Two people that deserve each other if you ask me.

Jimmy Butler get him own toxic traits just that he's met his match in toxicity.

birdman:
I want to thank roland17 and celtic nation. We have not had this much joy in a season in a long time

Jabari Smith go too romance bench cos Amen Thompson is arguably your best player right now

Udoka has this rag tag squad running circles. Beat Cavs home and away now Celtics away as well. Coaching masterclass

Skrrrrrrr:
We'd take him at the warriors

Him and Draymond for same locker room. I no go like miss that royal rumble

Udoka revenge game

Roland boys don jam 3pt spamming wey pass their power

Make Dillon Brooks dey spam 10 3pters



Jimmy Butler suspended again. Let's see if Pat Riley has some spine. If I'm him he go jonze like craze. I no go trade am. He will play from the bench or no playing time till season end The team is going nowhere anyway so it's pointless as I don't expect any GM with any damn sense to trade for this version of Jimmy Butler. I wouldn't take him for free


Nuggets smh. Lakers should want to face them in the playoffs. I'm convinced they will beat them this time. Their defense is generational bad

BlueRayDick:
Is it about the bag or about her own happiness? Has it not always been from one mental breakdown or the other for her ?

The ones that didn't marry him , are the children not seeing him anytime they so desire?

This secure the bang angle no even gel at all, the only thing it points out is that she may actually not be a woman who intended to be her own woman who can either run a business or build a career for herself outside being "2face's African queen"

When has 2Baba not been a woman wrapper?

Shey na today that one start?

You marry 2Face and expecting monogamy. Lol Godspeed.

That's like me marrying Angela White or one of those professional throat goats and thinking they won't play away. This Nicolas Pepe wey dey with Teanna Trump now, you think if the woman cheats I go sorry for am?

Many regular dudes she could marry but she chose a man whose fifth child was her first for him. While they were together. That says it all

2Baba na her soul mate laslas. I won't even recommend a young and unmarried man chook head. Let them settle their quarrel. So far DV and venereals no involve

bemeruca:
E shock you?

I bet you if he wakes up tomorrow and says let's open the borders, everyone drug dealers, rapists and murderers you're welcome and allow everybody come in, the same people calling him tyrant now will change their tune again.

I saw people flying Mexico, Palestine, Iraq, Venezuela flag. Is that not madness??

My biggest pet peeve in life is people flying the flags of country they ran from in another man land. You mean that country is so amazing you didn't stay behind

Who born you, your papa and mama to try that one for China or Russki

raumdeuter:
Chioma don choose to carry her cross early in life, She no complete Uni as she dropped out of Babcock, so cant really go get a 9-5 job like that.

Unless she ready humble go back to school and start working like regular girls, enter regular BRT, fly regular economy to UK, Have to deal with place of work shenanigans, kiss asss of oga at appraisal for what Davido pays his Gateman a month

Otherwise she is comfortable with her golden handcuffs

Boss na you dey think am deep. For many of these girls the comfort outweighs any philandering. There are approximately 100M young females willing to take Chiomas place if she lose guard

People think that I'd rather cry in Benz than cry in Okada talk is just bants

These babes all know what they are doing and are willing accomplices so this outside outpouring of pity is somehow funny. Financial ties dey, soul ties dey. If she's not weaned herself off of that, nothing will make her leave if you like make you dey knack other babes for inside una bedroom.

Maybe in a country where she would stand to gain a large chunk of his wealth it would be easier to leave but for Nigeria if she leaves it's her loss. She knows it. And would rather keep fighting and enduring than going for Femi PWC that is willing to love her dirty drawers with his mini flat in Gbagada and 2010 Corolla

For this life no solution, only tradeoffs.
