If they are talking about fitness or health this one will come with negative and combative energy but if they are talking about spending the GDP of a small country on Nkowbi and Roundabout and unhealthy eating practices he will be very excited and raiding the internet for pictures to steal.

TemporaryHansel:
After doing all these, I hope you people will live forever oh.

This is a majestically senseless statement.

swiz123:
This argument doesn’t hold because overtime, our body weakens. Messi and Ronaldo mostly strolls all game now because that peak fitness is gone for good.

I am sure that Ibeme that won’t let us rest about how he walks the stretch of Sahara won’t survive 15 minutes of intense football.

The focus is not on intense football. You that can't walk 3km without gasping wants to play intense football. You failed the intense football, and your answer is to now say the whole exercise thing is bad.

It is like someone that has not mastered multiplication going to sit for calculus exam, failing it, and now concluding that education is a scam. LOL

Nobody is asking you to play intense football. The issue is walking 10km. Whole different ball game.

Roland17:
While 2 truths can mutually exist, which one takes precedence? The former or the latter? There has to be one Doc! Think about the amounts of money we are talking here Doc..

The one that is more within our control is the corruption and that should obviously take precedence. If we address corruption and apply a zero-tolerance policy, we will see some improvement but that is still within the immediate context of relative scarcity of funds compared to many other countries.

My state here has twice the GDP of Nigeria and less than the population of Oyo State. The narrative that we are a wealthy nation hamstrung by just corruption is a false and misleading one.

BlueRayDick:
The thing shock me.

He chatted someone that was picked ahead of you during a trial years after and that one press him N7m willingly . He still dey ask "wetin N7m wan do for me? "

Omo people get entitlement mentality o. It's not even like na him sponsor the guy go the trials, so we can't say that one owes him.

I just don't want to believe the story is true sha.

There is entitlement but if this story is true, there is something extra. Deep seated envy.

They both went for trials. He dribbled the entire defence and was not picked while his friend that scored a tap in was picked. That is the narrative that he has planted and germinated in his own mind. There is nothing that guy can do for him that will satisfy him, apart from flopping in Europe.

Ibime:
You can't take oral histories seriously, especially when it's been a millennium before they put it into writing. That's like Romulus or Oduduwa story in Rome and Yorubaland.

You mention the bible says they went to the Philistines to buy iron, that means they know the difference between iron and bronze, so why attributing iron to the Canaanites? Secondly the Philistines came into the area a good 200 years after the so called Egypt migration which was the period they were supposedly fighting with the Canaanites with iron weapons. In addition, they even wrote that Abraham went to the land of the Philistine King who wanted to fvck Sarah and he had to disguise that Sarah is his sister. How does Abraham in 4000 BC be going to Philistine King when Philistines only migrated there around 1,200 BC? The oral histories are as false as my own Ijaw origin story.

They are Canaanites bruv. Surviving Canaanites from bronze age collapse dispersed from their Cities into the countryside and some of them over 500 years evolved into the Hebrews complete with language and Gods. They even remembered Baal the Canaanite storm God and the Northern Kingdom of Israel (ten tribes) worshipped him. That's because Baal is one of their Canaanite Gods along with Yahweh and El. Monotheism developed later and focused on only Yahweh, but 500 years later, after the so called Canaanites have disappeared, they still remember Baal to write about him and blame him for the sacking of the Northern Kingdom by the Assyrians, while combining Yahweh and El into a single deity.

Mostly in order.

2 corrections i would make:

1) Any historical Abraham as the great-grandfather of Joseph would be closer to 2000 BCE than 4000 BCE.

2) Most of the Hebrew Bible was written during the Babylonian and Persian periods rather than during the Maccabean period.

Why is this guy so pained?

He has narcissistic personality disorder.

larride:
I remember you saying we should just struggle through the finished line and make UCL then. If anybody think it just started this season, they obviously wasn't paying attention.

If only Amorim wasn't inept tactically and as stubborn as a muse.

What you won't accept as a rich man you start rejecting even when poor. You can't be accepting poor performances just because you still got 3 desperate points.

Poor performances are not a sustainable way of meaning games. The results of poor performances will always regress to Ls after a while.

MRTA7:
Meanwhile it is Amazon that is enjoying this meltdown. They will just bill the seas they're filming the fall of man utd.

Hehehe. Trust them.

Lana1:
It's always sack this, sack that, we should be doing like Madrid while ignoring the main problems.

The Conte they want will soon become another fraud

Another Netflix special. Siddon look mode activated.

larride:
Have you seen our buildup? It doesn't involve much running. Those running every game time are the wingers. Our play is so laborious that teams just waltz through our midfield like knife through butter.

We play as if we are not fit.

We are not fit. Tielemans already unwittingly exposed us when he joined, when he revealed that our preseason training was less intensive than he was used to at Villa.

Lana1:

I remember making that statement after Amorim was sacked would have got you the death sentence here

Myopic people that can't see beyond their agenda. After our first 3 games under Carrick it was clear we were winning games on vibes.

Kilishihunter:
You guys might still get conte after all. Your team lacks discipline and work ethic

They can get anybody dey like. I am more concerned about the Academy results than this team. I just watch them like Netflix series these days.
I am putting my tickets for matches this season up for sale. Let me not burn money and time on the undeserving.

It is possible that those that didn't learn from Ole will learn from Carrick, but then again ...........

Englishisamust:
Afrodoc I hope you are not watching this.

I am watching.

BlueRayDick:
Saka was instrumental to that second goal. That's why the coach don't always take him off

I am a big Saka fan, but he looks like he has lost a step. Can't beat his man and now doesn't even try to beat his man. He probably would benefit from the coach taking him off earlier from time to time. Body no be firewood.

BlueRayDick:
Most business ventures in Nigeria are high risk ventures sha. The people element of business is always deciding factor whether a business will thrive or collapse especially in a country like Nigeria wey wicked people plenty.

But looking at our entertainment industry, I would say he has a ready-made market waiting for his business venture to tap into. If he doesn't run into problem with government and doesn't suffer major sabotage from those he employs there, I think this investment will really pay off for him in the future.

Yes, the market is there and it has potential. Na that wickedness part i dey consider. He needs goodwill from the government, from his industry colleagues/rivals, and from his own employees.

It is an idea that could improve the quality and efficiency movie production in the country. Hopefully it is in a location where expansion is possible if things work out.

BlueRayDick:
Houses like that plenty for that side

My maternal grandfather's house was on a hilltop. It had one long external staircase built of stone with no railings. If you fall from the top Humpty Dumpty will pity you.

izzou:
I understand you!

But I didn't think anything we said yesterday was insulting, in my opinion oh.

We all came from different tribes, and we all know they have their flaws. I personally do not think anybody's tribe is better than mine. And I also don't think my tribe is better than anybody's own.

If I have to avoid or get angry when someone discusses the flaws of my tribe, then I might just relocate to my village.

It's a conversation, howbeit bitter. People will have it, whether you're there or not. E no reach to dey vex.

In a perfect world your way is totally fine but in the world we live in, where everybody has different values and beliefs and in which these beliefs and values have varying importance depending on the person, it is better to leave well alone.

Whenever any online discourse starts veering deep into critiquing religion or ethnicity i try to remind myself to back off. Offline i don't even have to remind myself. You would never find me engaging in such debates.

Where i work we have Israeli Jews, Eastern European Jews, Lebanese Christians, Lebanese Muslims, Iranians, Egyptians, Indians, Americans. I don't think i have ever heard any religious or cultural debate. Your well meaning critique might elicit the wrong reaction.

izzou:
Yeah.

I remember that this Liberal stuff started with someone (Can't remember) talking about how the liberalism of the SW was a hogwash.

Na from there e start.

You are correct

Na why i say make we drop am. Nobody will be happy seeing his group criticized in a certain fashion. It could be religious, ethnic, political, ideological etc. It is especially difficult when it involves ethnicity and religion which are settings you can't change easily like the clothes you wear.

izzou:
Chief...

Your comment, howbeit understandable, has a lot of emotions which shouldn't be so.

Firstly, I'll say that it's all cruise and banter. Anybody's online opinion about any tribe doesn't change or make it less of what they are.

Secondly, the Genesis of any Igbo vs Yoruba discussion always comes from Spy and Raums banter. They are both a menace to themselves, and others just pick one thing to bant on. We will not also ignore that Spy sef has been giving Raum hot hot too.

My point is that, in my opinion, e never reach to dey this emotional. We all have been here since 2023, and at least, here has been the least toxic space I can find on NL.

No take am to heart, Chief

The comment is even factually untrue. BlueRayDick who was probably the one pressing the issue most is one of the most active Obidients on this thread.

This started with Elder calling Yorubas liberal, probably in order to defend them against the subtle and not so subtle accusations of tribalism/bigotry only for someone else to insert Igbos into the equation in his response BEFORE BlueRayDick (an Obidient) started putting knee to neck.

TemporaryHansel:
No wonder a lot of Igbo women are rushing to marry yorubas and other tribes. Their men wan use suffocation finish them in the name of tradition.

Well, they're liberal according to spy.

Make we leave am like that make this place no derail. Just to note that some of us have Igbo relatives and lifelong family friends.

Liberal lazzident.

izzou:
I wonder how that example even came out from Spy's head

China is liberal because they can be found in every village in Africa

If you ask me, na who i go ask?

Illogical example.

Donald Duke that can't speak Efik did not spend most of his pre-campaign days denigrating Efik people and culture.

If you want to gaslight use BOC Gas.

A tribe having presence in every locality does not mean that the tribe is liberal. It only means that the other tribes are liberal enough to accept you in their midst.

It is not the one who goes visiting that is liberal but the one who accepts all visitors with open arms.

All the countries in Dubai Qatar also have their ministers stealing heavily. Na dem they floss for Europe and America at a level Africans/Nigerians cannot yet their citizens have enough to go around

Someone who grow up around lack is more likely to be greedy than those who grew up with more

They have the excess money to be able to withstand corruption and embezzlement. We don't.

That is exactly why we have to be even stricter on corruption.

Let us eradicate or at least reduce the corruption first and then we can accurately calculate and assess how far our limited resources will go.

If you are a poor man who is being paid peanuts and you then waste your limited funds on olo.sho and excessive drinking instead of taking care of your family, the easiest step in improving your quality of life of your family members is to stop/limit the olo.sho and drinking.

raumdeuter:
Your solution will be ideal but Nigerians put more on corruption vs the scarcity of resources

A child who is poor will be prone to vices than one who has enough, You can blame a poor girl for being greedy to resort to Oloshoism but if you dont address the root cause which is usually poverty the scourge wont go

While there might be exceptions, but the main drivers to vice across any group of any race of people is economics, The poorest neighborhoods are usually the most crime ridden, its not like na dem greedy pass

This one no enter. Naija politicians are corrupt not because of poverty but because they are greedy and because there is no punishment for their actions.

All the ministers, governors, perm secs with numerous holdings in Dubai and London are not doing it because they are starving.

England wan kill Croatia o.
