Plenty to yab TI over

Also his wife and her plastic surgery, her reality TV stints and their stalled careers

Yes the ammunition dey for 50 but is he willing to take the risk of entering the booth under pressure? That is the Rubicon for hip hop beef. You can’t cross that line one time and now respond to the response with troll videos or memes.

It is less risky for him to just post more memes and videos. Having the ammunition is one thing. Trusting your lyrical ability to utilise that ammunition is another thing,

KingTom:
Bringing his wife and kids into it wasn't nice at all

Let’s see if 50 will respond but I am strongly suspect it will be yet another troll meme/video rather than a track.

50 cent just got shivved by TI. That beef escalated sharperly.

everton4life:
This is what worries me the most. But come to think of it, what's it with our academy players and controversial siblings? Omo ehn...

I am hearing that his uncle was also charged with attempted murder.

semid4lyfe:
Where is TemporaryHansel? He hasn't been here in a minute.

He is just chilling and taking a break. He will come back in a bigger way soon. If you see what he is cooking, you sef go bow.

CapitalCee:
Wow the guy is very good. What particular negatives about Rashford does he have?

Off the ball work rate not as good or consistent as his mates, much stronger against high lines than against low blocks, can have a bit of tunnel vision when running at defenders.

He however had size, power, pace, finishing, and unique bits of skill like Rashford.

CapitalCee:
Afrodoc2.

Abeg Doc who be Noah Ajayi sef wey de drag attention with JJ Gabriel? The guy has been fantastic recently

Rashford regen. Similar positives and negatives.

Born in Germany but moved to England to join our academy at about age 10.

He had injury issues that I suspect were linked to a growth spurt. He is now about 6”2 and very quick.

He actually made his Under-21 debut last season at 16 before he had ever played Under-18. Hopefully he is past his injury woes.

Ellexy:
Arteta's satanic influence

The FA are sleeping on okada. If they don’t put a halt to this the EPL will soon be unwatchable.

They say, Edo no dey carry last.

3 crucial points. The front 3 are blowing hot and cold. Sesko has to be given a start sooner rather than later. Let's see how he handles the extra minutes and responsibility.

BlueRayDick:
That guy on phone sounded like one who would kill a clean cop sef without any warning. Methinks he's only giving the dirty cops a chance to continue to breath hence the warning call.

I read that in 2015 his cartel shut down a military helicopter that was involved in a military operation to capture him. Shey na that kind person no go finish any clean policeman wey go crayfish enter his zone?

The things I've been reading and clips I've been watching about the El Mencho guy portrays him as a very ruthless cartel boss.

The funny thing about these cartels is that they are like hydra.

If you kill the boss of a violent cartel, his cartel will fragment into 2 or 3 even more violent groups. Over time at least one of those fragments will grow to become as big or even bigger than the original cartel while being far more violent.

At the end of the day it’s 1 step forward and 2 steps backward for the government.

odizeey:
My take on this matter is the club should do all they can, but not go overboard.
If he no won stay let him go. We don't want to put ourselves in a position where someone will put us in ransom. Let them at least make the boy sign a contract and make big money on him, especially if it's barca that wants to sign him. 50 million last price.

I agree that they should do their best as long as it is within reason.
They cant make him a sign a contract until he turns 17 though and that is not until next year. That is the formula we used to get Chido Obi from Arsenal.

GloriousGbola:
Afrodoc2, do you remember the physics lab?

Of blessed memory.

One-man MOPOL against Naija twitter will usually have one end result.

Macedonians are also "core Greeks" nonetheless.
This talk of whether they're Greeks or not is a nuanced one truly and one with propagandists leanings from Athenians. It is mostly political.

On the issue of when Macedonians started participating in the Olympics. Olympics wasn't actually a universal thing in the Greek world, and only gained popularity as time went by. It was regional at first.
And the ancient Olympics then usually only stated the names of the victors or Kings; not the losers or other people that participated so no one is certain about everyone that participated.

Yep, the Macedonians were at the extreme end of Greece being in the North. And the fact that the Olympics was held in Olympia meant Macedons were very far away. So naturally, the Peloponnese largely dominated due to proximity.

What of regions like Thesally and Crete which only got recorded after more than 200yrs of Olympics? Will you say they're aren't core Greeks?

There is literally no evidence that Macedonians were barred from participating.

We all know how the Greeks fought between themselves for hundreds of years and trying to one up each other.

It's just a case of some Greeks especially Athenians who see themselves superior saying "you're not Greek enough".

It was largely a political talk. One being that Macedonia wasn't democratic and was a Kingdom as opposed to the different city-states in Greece.

You keep mixing not being core Greek with not being Greek. There has always been a debate about this even in ancient times. I never even said that they were not Greek but that they were not in the core Greek areas.

Firstly, the fact is that when Alexander I of Macedon applied to participate in the 80th Olympiad, a panel of judges had to adjudicate his claim to be considered Greek. Many Greek city-states didn't consider him Greek, but the judges decided in his favour. Modern historians are in agreement that this was the first time Macedonians were allowed into the games. They were barred before this, otherwise there would not have been a need for judges to decide his case.

And it was not purely about democracy as Sparta itself was not democratic.

You are even confusing me. In one sentence you are agreeing that some Greek city-states did not accept Macedonians as Greeks and they lived in the extreme north and in another sentence, you are saying it is a lie, there is no nuance and they are core Greeks.

Finally, you have digressed from the initial point, which is that only a minority of Alexander's generals (Greek or non-Greek) practiced the act. My theory is that his father learnt it during his time as a hostage in Thebes and the son learnt from the father. Only a guess though.

GloriousGbola:
i also read somewhere that the Spartans were also seriously into pederasty
wonder what a real 300 movie would have featured

To a lesser extent than Athens and Thebes. Those were the main culprits.

abduleez1:
Uhm, Macedonians are still very much Greek.
It's not a matter of core Greek descent or not. They spoke same language, same beliefs and compete in the Olympics which was reserved ONLY FOR GREEKS.

Greeks in ancient times usually associate themselves into mini nations like the Athenians, Spartans, Thebeian, Corinthian, etc. But they all share Greek ancestry and language.
Sure, his generals were mostly Macedonians, friends and colleagues he grew up with as a child.

That is why i mentioned core Greek. I did not say they were not Greek. The act was more common amongst the core Greeks (Athenians, Thebans) than amongst the Macedonians (even though Alexander and his father Philip practiced it)

The question of Macedonians being Greek is a nuanced one. For many years they were not allowed into the Olympic Games and not accepted as being Greek. It was only after about 300yrs of the games that a Macedonian was allowed into the games and only after a special application.

They lived on the periphery of the Greek world which is why i said they were not core Greek. What a lot of historians believe is that the ruling class was Greek, but the core of the population was mixed.

The main point i was making though is that a majority of his generals were not gay like you claimed. A couple might have been but by and large there is no evidence of most of them practicing it.

The act was more common amongst the core Greeks to the south than in Macedonia in the north. Alexander's father spent part of his childhood in Thebes, and this might be where he cultivated the habit cos that practice was very strong in Thebes. Not so much in Macedonia.

abduleez1:
Yeah.... I remember I saw something like this practiced by Alexander the Great played by Collin Farrell in the movie, Alexander, I watched some months ago.

Dude was openly g@y, in fact, most of his Greek generals and colleagues were. Alexander's most trusted and closest male companion was also Hephaestion. Man to man relations was completely normal to Greeks back in the day.

Yes pederasty was practiced by the Greeks and the Macedonians and they were the ones that brought it to Afghanistan nearly a 1,000 years before Islam got there. That is the origin of this Bacha bazi.

I would say though that only a minority of his generals are known to have practiced it. It was the core Greeks (especially Athenians) that practiced it more while his generals were mainly Macedonian and not core Greek.

The quality of conversation has to be maintained at a high level. Erroneous information has to be corrected at the point of contact. Hehehe

Kimbeast:
I would like you to provide the false information I made and where I said it was a core of Islam or taught by Islam. If you decided to get misinformed that's on you not me.

I know that you have made a vow against knowledge but I will humour you.

1) Most Muslim Arabian regions practice Bacha bazi.

False.: It is practiced in Afghanistan which is not in Arabia.

2) Bacha bazi is a Muslim practice.

False: Introduced into Afghanistan by Greeks/Macedonians.
Outlawed severally by Islamic regimes.

Bacha bazi is neither Arabian nor Islamic.

Theflint1:
The Bachi Baza point came after GloriousG took offence to the reference to muslim men.

The Bacha Bazi was the example he gave for his statement.

So he gave a wrong example to support his position,

Are you not seeing what is wrong with that?

Imagine someone comes here to say Enugu people are criminals and when challenged about it he gives examples about Isoko criminal activities.

Theflint1:
Lol, we've gotten to the crux of the matter, his reference to Islam is what you have an issue with, cause what he said was clear enough.

The Bachi Bazi he referenced has nothing to do with Islam or Arabs though.

It was introduced into Afghanistan (then called Bactria) by Alexander the Great and his Seleucid and Graeco-Bactrian successors in that region.

Pederasty was common and often encouraged in Ancient Greece. They took that tradition to Afghanistan and it took root there. When the Greeks moved on and stopped it, many of those in Afghanistan did not.

The guy just maligned both Arabs and Muslims based on false information. Talking about quality of conversation. LOL

GloriousGbola:
you are a real piece of work.

larride:
Spurs useless pass all this thing you dey talk.

Spurs useless pass anything. Na why that Europa League final loss dey painful. Spurs came to bottle it and were playing trash but we out-bottled them.

I will never forget 2006 lasagna gate when they should have sent Assanal to UEFA Cup but they bottled it on the last day.

To Dare is to Do Nothing.

ChristineC:
could be a phase in his physical development.

Hopefully. He is already tall so it’s not like he is still growing rapidly. Reminds me a bit of Ethan Laird who kept getting injured. I don’t think I have seen Ngwashi play more than 1 month at a time.

He still has 1 more season of Under-18 next season so hopefully he will take that opportunity and be the main man after Armer, Mills, Kukonki have moved on.

patrickmuf:
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge...

🙏

CapitalCee:
So how do we keep him, at least till we are able to sell him for a huge fee and reinvest. Afterall VVD is a man utd fan but ended up at Liverpool

I think the club is doing all they can.

He starts most games and is one of the least rotated of the players.

The 1st team coaches including Carrick attend most of the games if there is no fixture clash letting him know they are watching closely and have interest in him.

He has been called to 1st team training several times to allow him get a feel for it.

The next thing is to give him a debut as soon as he is legally able to, which will be at the start of next season. He will most likely go on the tour with the 1st team and get a league debut early in the season. He might still spend most of the season in the academy but that senior debut and modern Man Utd record is a must for him and his dad.

The club might also be sorting his dad privately but that is another matter.

CapitalCee:
If the dad wants money. Give him. Thats how to secure talents. These kinds of players are rare to find. City Paid Haaland father same thing Barca did for Yamal father.

I think the major issue is that the boy himself seems to be a Barca fan. He is a Messi/ Neymar/Yamal fan.

He is also a Nike Ambassador and those ones have been doing kurukere moves to get him to Barca.

CapitalCee:
I like the boy Halefu abi na wetin be the name saf.

Yuel Helafu. I mentioned him here recently. He is a very interesting prospect. Good on the ball and extremely comfortable when he inverts into midfield. He does not overlap as incisively as Kamason and needs to improve his 1v1 defending.

Ellexy:
I saw that goal and opened my mouth.....that kid is the real deal despite his size.

The amount of power he generates from both feet with minimal back lift is something else.

That size will be an issue against full grown men though. He needs at least 3 more inches without losing his agility.

patrickmuf:
That number 4 moves like Maguire..

Daniel Armer. Very good passer and reads the game well. He is left footed unlike Maguire but unfortunately you are right that he is slow like Maguire. He was also not physically strong last season but he has put on muscle this season and is much stronger.

His lack of pace probably means he won’t make it here. He has everything else. The same issue with his partner Mills.

The most complete CB in the academy currently is Ngwashi but that one is a doctor. I have not seen any major weakness in his game but he appears only once in a blue moon.

Ihebu4chelsea:
like how can you pay x2 of the the total rent as total package, house rent 250k, total package 500k, Most landlords won't even rent out the room without you paying the agent. I really don't know when all these things will end.

The government has abandoned the people on this matter.

Over here nothing concern tenant with agent money.
