Yet Egbon Gbola don dey blame us for traffic.



Let abroadians breathe, Na nack we come nack una babes we no come thief or kidnap

Nigerians can be quite ungrateful. Who will mentor Nigerian babes if not Nigerians.

This is a tiwantiwa issue.

Do we have good Academy players that can replace these two?The one our coach are ignoring?.where is kone?

Kone just returned from injury but he is playing quite well. It seems Jack Fletcher is the one chosen for now. He is normally a 10 but can possibly do a job in CM if paired with a more defensive player.
The club can also recall Dan Gore or Collyer from their loans.


Amass is doing very well on loan. The initial loan expires in January, so the club will have to make a decision on whether to recall him to compete with Dorgu or to extend the loan. Mantato has an outside shot but probably still not physically ready this season.

engrelvis:
Buying of potential hoping they will metamorphose into world class players shud stop.ls not working for us.Ugarte and Dorgu v no business in that team. Academy players shud replace them.They can't do worse

The problem is not the buying of potential but buying players with OBVIOUS irredeemable flaws.

It is either the scouts of the technical people sanctioning the deals. Or it could be both. They need to do better with player evaluation and take talent ID.

Ugarte and to a lesser extent Dorgu have flaws that can’t be fixed. Obvious to anyone who spent time to study them but we somehow missed it.

PSG tossed Ugarte out after 1 season but watch how we will keep him for 3-4 seasons while he keeps stinking up the joint.

And I agree that we have academy players that will do a better job.

patrickmuf:
Yes, he was but the difference is that he wasn't under the spotlight. I thought the move to Manchester United would see him become more of a team player but the evidence thus far suggests otherwise...

You can see how Pep is trying to manage Cherki with his subtle criticism of his overshowboating. I expect Amorim to be in Cunha's ears telling him to play more with those around him.

It is disgusting. It is not winning football.

TrebleChamp:
Case and Martinez may not work doc, Case cannot play CM effectively. Unless the Manager decide to try a new system of 3 midfielders.

I know it is tricky, but Ugarte and Lothar Matthaus won't work.

I don do Aussie to Aussie favour. A true brother's keeper indeed. Obainojazz na favour i do you o.

TrebleChamp:
And they said Martinez cannot play DM, boy was solid in that role today. I would like to see him play there more...

That is what ETH told us.

Next game we could try Casemiro and Martinez there. It might offer more protection for the defence although our press might not be as effective. Anything to keep Ugarte off the pitch.

Yoro was the major reason we lost this game. He is young and inexperienced, but the same player should not score on you twice with the same move.

patrickmuf:
Cunha should learn to pass the ball. Lacey was free, but he managed to run with the ball close to him before he was tackled, and the ball was recovered by Lacey. A quick pass should have had Lacey in space to do some damage...

The talent is there but the guy plays like he has never been coached before. Was he like this at Wolves?

Michael Oliver is the ref.

With Ugarte as a possible short 1, Aston Villa will be playing 12 against 10.

Ellexy:
The bench no be am at all

This AFCON wan wound us. We can't afford any further injuries.

We need our injured players back ASAP cos na academy players full bench like this.

swiz123:
Afrodoc2 na the spelling this brother just type so?

Diabolical.

What is the scoreline? I don't have internet and water poured inside my TV.

raumdeuter:
End of round 2 and no knockout
Nothing serious has connected

Jake is just trying to delay the fight for as long as possible

AJ is forgetting to box.

BlueRayDick:
Wetin Ibime and Afrodoc shack? I want some of that thing 🍹

I am not too proud a patrician swollen with vanity that i would scorn to share wine with you.

Yet before drink is poured, reveal yourself truly. What is your gens and to which faction do you swear fealty, populares who court the roaring mob, or optimates who hold on to the old rights.

Declare yourself plainly as friend or foe, so that no shadowed hand may tip treacherous draught into our cups, and we may drink as men of honour, not as wary wolves in the night.

Ibime:
Turn thought away from delusions of grandeur. One does not stand absent verbosity of a true patrician, but brevity stands as safeguard against spambot lest eloquence see moniker parted from Nairaland for thirty minutes.

Ah, not ill-spoken at all. Your manner of speech stands indeed necessary, a stout bulwark against the vile clutches of that accursed spambot, foul creation of the vilest of oppressors.

Jupiter’s cock! Behold this pair of unworthy plebs, and mere pretenders to eloquence, grasping at words of elevated station as a child reaches for fruit beyond grasp.

You plebs grasp futilely at the tongue of true patricians, your words falling short as a slave’s reach for freedom denied. Please speak absent deceit, or see tongue removed from mouth.

There was a time doing medicine guaranteed a good life, it's odd to see doctors 5 or more years into practice still hopping buses, looking tattared and overworked.

But if they dare go on strike you will see how most of the posts on the thread would be people insulting them.

Theflint1:
That 150K was more around 2011/2012, and it typically started from like 120K, 150K was the higher band...I was mixing up salary eras on that

Omo the way you dey move around these years from 2006, to 2011, to 2008, to 2012, na impressive and majestic sight.
You are the No 1, the champion.

Theflint1:
My sis did housmanship in Borno around 2007/8 and her numbers touched or was just above 100K per month, and that was as a lab scientist.

Lab science intern salary in Nigeria 2008: 60k to 100k with federal and state to state variation.

Medical doctor house officer salary in Nigeria in 2008: 70k to 100k with federal and state to state variation.

150k house officer salary in 2006: Still Lambastic Lamba.

BlueRayDick:
I understand u and naturally I act like a humble person who avoids trouble at all cost even when I’m provoked .

However , there’s a limit to which one’s gentleness will last I mean the Lexus driver remained calm and didn’t give room for the guy on foot to escalate things but still he ended up throwing such a huge rock at the windscreen to over escalate the matter .

I doubt the most humble person on this thread will be able to hold his anger at that point . It will take super extra divine intervention to hold ur anger at that point . Even for someone who has comprehensive insurance that covers that kind of malicious damage , u go still wan deal with the attacker make him body for tell am .

Don't engage in physical altercation no matter what. People underestimate how easy it is to die or how easy it is to kill someone.

The best you can do and the worst you should do is to show your Lexus ownership and lock him up.

Theflint1:
Today it might be difficult for most CMDs to do that, but around those 2006 Dem, which was one of the examples given, it was common to see fresh medical grads doing housmanship getting like 150K per month, and this came to around $1,000.

I'm sure your CMD from that era would have been taking like 500K per month (plus allowances) that's around $3,000, his two months salary would comfortably pay for a semesters tuition, plus small upkeep money for a child in the UK, or other European countries.

So that people could take their kids abroad less than two decades ago isn't automatically sign that they were corrupt or stealing from the government...these things were a lot easier to manage then.

Lambastic lamba. Common ke?

It was 60-90k and in most hospitals more likely to be closer to 60k than 90k.

Theflint1:
In 2011, a CMD would have been earning around 7.5M per year from private and personal practice, which would come to around 50K USD. From that money he'd have been able to sustain two kids in the higher institution in many parts of Europe, and some parts of the USA.

School fees for both kids 12K per year
Living expenses for both kids 18K per year
(flight was typically twice, once at the beginning of their program, and another at the end of their 4 year program, so that's miscellaneous).

The CMD would have still had 20K USD (about 3M then) to guide in Nigeria.

Mr Faruk was accused of spending the equivalent of 300M per year on his children's school fees, while on a salary of 50M per year...there's no Math you want to solve that'd explain how he's able to do that through his salary.

You could have criticized Mr Faruk for being corrupt and living way above his income without using it as an opportunity to resurrect an Akamu argument you made some time in the past, but alas

Most of the figures you are using are wrong.

Whether 2006 or 2011 no CMD could have sent 2 kids to the US or to Europe for university studies from his salary.

BlueRayDick:
So Nigeria had to send a diplomatic delegation to Burkina Faso to apologize eventually despite political hallelujah boys initially talking tough on social Media.

https://x.com/ourfavonlinedoc/status/2001412930353393764?s=46

I've always maintained it's only a diplomatic solution that can bring our boys home. Glad the FG swallowed their pride to do the needful Sha.

They should just bring the boys back home. One can only imagine what they and their families have been going through.

raumdeuter:
Looks like he was forced out. Given a choice to resign quickly

The thing with these career civil servants is that some of them are very corrupt and they will frustrate every govt agency with bureaucracy

Good thing Dangote has enough clout to call him out and get a reaction from the top

Another thing I thought about is if he wasn't a fellow Northerner it might be difficult to pull out

Corrupt civil servants bleed the country as much as , if not more than politicians.

There are thousands of them all over the country guzzling public funds in copious amounts and most of them will never have their names in the papers once not to talk of the public knowing who they are.

Triple Crystal Palace defence next season for those familiar with this man tactics

Hahaha.

His team plays the most haram football ever thought of and never thought of.

He makes Sean Dyche look like prime Klopp.

It gives people a glimpse of how difficult it will be to eradicate bandits and other non-state actors from the North. Some people have turned burying their heads in the sand into an art form.
