Lol stop trying to create a rivalry. In the Big 6 the only real rivalry we have are against United and Tottenham.
Anything else is just forced and fake,We can lose to Chelsea and their will be no emotion because you guys are irrelevant.

why were you gnashing your teeth when your team was whitewashed by the same team you claimed not to be your rival?

Your team is competing for position with another team within the same city and you claimed they're not your real rival? E be like sey d hangover from Emery's failure still dey worry u

Who cares about goals?
Who cares about assists?

Jeremie Boga completed 66 more take-ons than any other player in Serie A in 2019.

I foresee Chelsea knocking Bayern Munich out, the tie will be decided on away goals rule Chelsea to win first leg 2-1 and Bayern to win second leg 3-2.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola has questioned if his side is capable of competing with the European elite. ��

Net spends since 2016/17:

Man City: £527.8m
Man Utd: £432.3
Barcelona: £326.6m
Juventus: £178.2m
Real Madrid: £110.7m
Liverpool: £75.3m

Guys we shouldn't be concerned about the amount they're going to pay us as stipend as that's a privilege not a right. Whatever they decided to pay should be taken as a gift.

Our concern should be the working conditions as well as how soon we will be called upon.

Unlimited22 I Stan you look the real deal not like my uncle that abandoned logic and reason for recklessness. In football you predict based on recent happenings and a little bit of the past and even at that you're not being 100%.

Nigeria, the most populous African Nation had been battling with quality leadership and good representative since her Independence in 1960. It been a case of ''grass to grace; grace to grass'' as power kept changing from military rule to civilian rule without meaningful and tangible developmental strides to showcase.
After the demise of the Military Head of State, Major-General Sani Abacha in june, 1998, the interim/transition Government headed by Major-General Abdulsalam Abubakar conducted an election adjudged to be credible, free and fair in 1999. The election brought into power President Olusegun Obasanjo as the winner of the presidential election under the platform of Peoples’ Democratic Party. A new dawn of democratic leadership was herald and given an overwhelming welcome by Nigerians. He re-contested in 2003 and won again. His 8years of leadership was a mixture of “the good, the bad and the terrible” till May 2007 when Late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua succeeded him through a controversial election conducted on 21 April, 2007.
Late Umaru M. Yar’Adua (a Muslim katsina man from Northwestern part of Nigeria) was a seasoned scholar and Administrator both in the public and private sectors before he joined politics and contested the Katsina state gubernatorial election as PDP flag bearer in 1999 and won. He recontested in 2003 and won again. A position he maintained till he became the Presidential flag bearer of PDP alongside Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as his running mate, and subsequently emerged the winner and elected President of Nigeria in 2007.
Few months after his inauguration, he owned up publicly that the election that brought him into power was full of frauds. He established a Presidential Electoral Reform Committee headed by the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mohammed Uwais to look into all the illegalities that affect the credibility of electioneering in Nigeria. It takes only a true and honest leader to make such open confession and take a step to correct the anomalies. He was also the first Nigerian President/Public servant that declared his asset in totality openly. Such traits are rare to come by among African Leaders.
Despite his ill health, Late Yar'Adua tried his best to see that his Administration lived up to his campaign promises and his 7 Points Agenda centred on Security, Human capital development, Critical infrastructural development, Wealth creation through diversion of the economy, Focus on development issues in the Niger Delta Region, Review of land tenure regulation and Food Security.
He was a detribalized leader whose Administration created the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and Niger Delta Development Commission charged with the responsibility of the development of the oil producing region and putting to rest the long unrest and agitation of the Niger Deltan youth (Militants) He granted the agitators Amnesty, majority of them were rehabilitated and given scholarship to study abroad.
The security of life, properties and the general living standards of Nigerians under his Administration were above average and commendable. He was passionate about Nigeria and Nigerians before death came calling him home on the 5th of May, 2010. His then Vice President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was sworn in immediately as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Before and after the reign of Late Umaru Musa Yara’adua, Nigeria had never had it all rosy with a democratic president. He remains the best president Nigeria ever had even in death. May his soul continue to rest in peace (Amin)
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

FriendNG:
Ganduje is not mate to Elrufai. People are just exaggerating Elrufai unnecessarily.

I beg to disagree considering their governance styles and what they met on ground el-Rufai is the better of the two.

Ganduje and el-Rufai are giving each other a run for their money don't be surprised if either of them decide to enter the contest for the most exulted office of Nigeria.

Ganduje was shown stuffing dollars in his agbada yet he's delivering on projects and prompt payment of salaries whereas some state governors are earning more but they have no projects to show for it.

With an estimated approximated 203.42 million population and growing at over 2% per annum, Nigeria ranks the seventh-largest country in the world. The nation represents over 70% of the effective West African market, as Nigeria remains the most competitive destination for the establishment of medium and large manufacturing industries.
No wonder, China has since positioned itself to take advantage of this expansive market by unleashing its horde of investors and businessmen on the manufacturing sector. From textile to garment; household appliances, furniture, automobile; consumables and iron and steel as well as Financial Technology (FinTech) products, China has taken over, churning out tons of products for various segments of the market.
Today, the investments of Chinese companies worth over $20 billion and still counting. In a recent interview, the President, China Chambers of Commerce in Nigeria, Ye Shuijin, said,
“The 160 Chinese firms operating in the country had also employed over 200,000 Nigerians. I believe the Chinese investment in Nigeria now is about $20billion and we have employed over 200,000 Nigerians. Our workforce is 95% Nigerians.”
Details: Fintech
Fintech industry has been thriving for a few years, a development that attracted some Chinese firm to Nigeria. Some of them are OPay and PalmPay, just to mention a few.
For instance, when the Country Manager, Opay, Iniabasi Akpan, reeled out the statistics of the company and its subsidiaries at the KPMG’s Digital Summit on November 26, 2019, a lot of the participants were shocked that in less than five years, the company have achieved so much.

He said, “We make $10million/day in transactions through our agents; N5billion+/day in transactions via Opay; 66% market volume of bank transfers, 10,000 riders with Oride, over 100,000 agents, and 125 million Monthly Active Users among others.”
That is not all. A few weeks ago, another Chinese firm, PalmPay launched its product in Lagos. The app is expected not only to reward its users for making payments but will give Nigeria’s excluded population access to secure and easy to use financial services.
At the event, General Manager, TECNO Mobile, Stephen Ha, told Nairametrics that the fintech company is backed by TECNO mobile, which was the lead investor in its $40 million seed round.
He said, “Tecno has helped expand access to smartphones among the Nigerian population. We are now looking to leverage this infrastructure to further improve people’s lives. We see a huge growth opportunity in mobile payments and financial services in the country and are looking forward to working together with the PalmPay team to help shape the future of payments in the nation.”
Manufacturing
Several Chinese companies are presently competing with their Nigerian counterparts in the real sector. For instance, Chinese-owned Western Metal Products Company Limited (WEMPCO), a multi-billion naira integrated steel mill, situated at Magboro, on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State, is the first of its kind in Africa. The sprawling steel-manufacturing plant boasts of a production capacity of 700,000 metric tonnes and production machinery of five-stand Tandem Mill.
The factory, according to its Group Managing Director, Mr. Lewis Tung, will produce cold roll steel sheet of up to 0.15mm in thickness and coils of the same dimension and above. Other facilities in the plant include a 52-megawatt generator for power supply; a water treatment and recycling plant; a Ceramic tiles plant; an acid-generating plant; an air purifier and an annealing line.

Transportation
The Chinese have been visible in the transport sector, especially in rail transport. The $1.49 billion Lagos-Ibadan railway contract has been awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and the Olokola Deepwater Port project awarded to the China Ocean Shipping Group. The CCECC is also handling the 27.5-kilometre Marina-Iddo-Okokomaiko, Lagos Light Rail project.
Since 1995, the company has won many of the contracts linked with Nigerian projects, edging out interested companies from the United States and European nations.
The CCECC is involved in multiple projects across the country in about 22 major infrastructural projects over $47 million, comprising the construction of airport terminals, roads and rails including inner-city light rails in Abuja and Lagos, all financed with concessional loans from the Exim Bank of China.
The state-owned Export-Import Bank of China (EXIM Bank ) is also providing a $500 million concessionary loan for the 186-kilometre modernisation of the Abuja-Kaduna rail line, which includes the building of 36 bridges and nine fully-developed stations.
In the railway sub-sector , the CCECC was handed a $528 million contract in 1995 to rejuvenate the nation’s stretch of old rail track, supply 50 locomotives, wagons and coaches, install signal system and train Nigerian workers.
Power projects worth $10 billion underway
Chinese firms are involved in three key projects in Nigeria’s power sector estimated at $10 billion. One of the projects, the Mambilla hydroelectric power plant, is for the delivery of a 3,050Megawatt power plant in Taraba State.
The $5.8 billion contract was signed by the FG and the China Gezhouba Group Corporation, Sinohydro Corporation Limited and the CGCOC Group Company Limited in November 2017, about 40 years after the idea was conceived.
The China Exim Bank and other Chinese lenders will provide 85 per cent of the contract sum, while Nigeria pay the 15% balance.
Zungeru hydropower project is a 700MW hydroelectric facility also being developed with the Chinese assistance on the upper and middle reaches of Kaduna River in Niger State. Another power project with funding support from China is the $1 billion Gurara hydropower plant located in Kaduna. It has the capacity to generate 360MW electricity.
$600 million for four international airport terminals
In aviation, the Federal Government entered into a partnership with the Chinese government through the CCECC in 2013 to execute four international airport terminal projects.
The projects were the rehabilitation and construction of airport terminals in Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Port Harcourt International Airport, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano and the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
The four projects are being funded with a $500 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of China and $100 million counterpart funding from the Federal Government, obtained as a loan from the Debt Management Office at an interest rate of 5.37%.

General Merchandise
Scores of Chinese businesses dominate the retail segment of the market in various parts of the country. Brands such as Viju Milk, Big Treat, Infinix, Guangzhou Automobile Group Company (GAC), Huawei, ZTE, Alcatel and others are household names Chinese restaurants, such Golden imperial Chinese Cuisine, Golden Gate, Lagos; Oasis Bakery all in Lagos and several other retail outlets businesses dot the landscape and they are enjoying tremendous patronage.
Despite penetrating several industries and recording countless achievements in Nigeria, the Chinese seem to be unrelenting as they are craving for more investments. There is no stopping the Chinese.

Astark:
these clowns think they can take on Barca, lmao

You guys couldn't even win Valencia,a 10th placed team in la Liga.

We'll beat any epl teams now both home and away

It is possible for Levante to beat Barcelona but lose to Sociedad, that Chelsea couldn't beat Valencia over two legs doesn't mean that they will fare worse against Barcelona. The worst Chelsea side in recent history won against Barcelona in 2012 and the last time they met in faraway Japan you know the outcome right

Freshprince91:
Hello

Has he become a forgotten man at the Bernabeu?
Virtually all Madrid signings this season have failed to turn up. I am trying to convince myself that £350m hasn't gone down the drain.

It is difficult displacing Benzema because of his attributes like linkup play, movement, and scoring ability. Jovic will get his time if he's patient but patience is a hard currency.

Debroslink:
Amoto94 and Airmark, listen to the words of this man and stop flexing muscles against your superior. Pray for teams like Leipzig.

Wise man kor! wise man ni! who guarantee him that we will be winning Europa, to fly long distance you practice with eagles not Guineafowls. This is what made Arsenal to lose out on UCL this season instead of them to focus on top four they were hinging their hopes on winning Europa and guess what happened? It ended in tears and that's why my brother Swissh is still bitter and refused to answer my question.

LegoxMetahuman:
mourinho is now the friends of British media

who woulda 'thunk'?

Mourinho have always been a delight for the British media because he provides them clickbaits articles with his soundbite comments.

MorataFC:
and u face a team like PSG Bayern Barca or Juve

These are winnable because they like having more of the ball and you can sit and hit them on the counter compared to teams who don't care about possession.

Debroslink:
Airmark is begging to play Barcelona. Do you support him?

Playing Barcelona is not as difficult because you know what to expect with Messi in their side but playing others is quite difficult because their brilliance is not hinged on a particular player.

This team is a work in progress and their performance against good teams is a testament to this. Not finishing off chances, not defending well, and naivety on the part of the manager though he's still learning on the job.
I will personally prefer a second place finish to avoid Real Madrid, Atletico, and their likes.
We need a defender in the mould of Koulibally who will Marshall our backline and shore up our defence, also we need a backup for Jorginho and a striker like Lautaro Martinez or Jovic.

Don't feel too bad about yourself because your height is a gift and strength, if you aren't paying attention to basketball or athletics do consider doing so. I'm the same height with you and when I talk people listen because I have positive things to say. Read far and wide also because with it comes knowledge and power to communicate effectively.
