Are you guys still pretending not to understand what he meant by "stealing is not corruption" in 2023?

Buahahaha. Pray tell, what did he mean?

Unlimited22:
They'll play a whole half one man up. Don't fret.

That's what I thought when Newcastle played Liverpool.

Liverpool is the only team I hate fighting with for the league!

If Tottenham should drop this game, I wish them relegation!

Unlimited22:
Android17 has been bitching about poor officiating all day but he won't see that one.

After a red card that was, at best, harsh, and at worst, a horrendous decision. Jones slips over the ball.


And I say this as someone who actually doesn't like Liverpool.

When I said United's goal (Garnacho) against Arsenal should have stood you people told me VAR checked it even when I knew the line they drew was nonsense. I have to submit to the same wisdom for the Diaz goal.

Tottenham please make it count.

BlueMann:
Only Hwang's case stood out for me, he was lucky not to get sent off for the second yellow. I didn't watch every minute tho.

5 Wolves players got "cramps" in the 2nd half. Time-wasting yet only 6 mins added. In a season where Arsenal got +10mins in the community shield with no injuries?

I get it that City played poorly but the double standard is glaring. I have complained about this time added issue for 3 seasons now because City seems to get the short end of it.

akwesenana:
They think anyone against Buhari's ineptitude automatically "supports" Jonathan.

Such binary thinking in 2023 is appalling.

If the shoe fits you, you should wear it. If it does not, then it is not for you. Simple.

BlueMann:
Happy my boy Alvarez scored. Pedro Neto was a problem, Semedo was superb and the whole team defended brilliantly.

What about the refereeing?

And plea deal does not mean anyone is begging to return any monies. Why spend time and resources trying to convict a thief when that does not guarantee you will recover the loot compared to giving him a deal that will incentivize the recovery of the loot (which is what you care about)? It is the court/prosecutor that is begging Meffi to say he is guilty and return money in exchange for his freedom.

Stupid populee.

Jonathan also appointed Meffi.

Never forget.

You are part of that populace.

Jonathan said "ordinary stealing they will call corruption" and "stealing is not corruption". The odds don't support him on this one.

monerozi5590:
You lied. I only asked a question because you and others are accusing Buhari for Emefiele sins.

Plea bargain means you agreed that you committed the crime. Is like an agreement settlement.

If what Sahara reported is true, why are you guys involving Buhari if Emefiele has already said he indeed stole money.


Jonathan that always do dirty dealings at night that Ngozi had to cry out! Can you come and do that nonsense with Buhari, fear sef no go allow you.

Tell us what happened to the former minister of Justice under Jonathan. Tell us why did he run when Jonathan lost the 2015 election?

What is good for the Goose, is good for Uganda.

CrystalTiger:
So $70m na change or what because I no understand this your scientific calculator.

I never gallant reach that level . . .yet.

All I was saying is 50 BILLION naira sounds more dramatic than 70 million dollars. And of course, I am intentionally being contrarian. I never believed in Emefiele. I criticized Buhari for re-appointing him as CBN governor in many ways.

larride:
I think what he's saying is that everyone should bear their father's name. If Emefiele steal, hold Emefiele and not Buhari.

While the logic is right, the buck always stop at the Presidents table. President will definitely be blamed for the corruption that happened right under his nose as President.

Emefiele stole and gave the money to Buhari. Without that link will the story excite anyone?

larride:
If Aisha Ahmed, one of the CBN deputy is being investigated for $300m, how much did you think Oga patapata Emefiele go don move?

To be a thief, one just has to be daring. We have seen people at lower positions steal much more than those above them. Think Atiku and OBJ for e.g.

I am not speaking in Meffi's defense. Just saying that the amounts being quoted are not egregious. I'll shake when the amount is in billions of dollars or British pounds.

For context:

And he was not a service chief or a CBN Governor.

larride:
There are some crimes that plea bargain shouldn't even be entertained for at all.

But is N50 billion not like $50 million at the current rate? Which means Meffi probably stole $70 million by extrapolation. I don't know any service Chief from 2005 that did not steal up to that.

FBS:
lol
It was never a thing until people start to dey carry am like it's the most important stat in football. In most cases, it's a load of rubbish.

Goal is KING!

For e.g United fans that said they deserved to win the FA Cup final because of xG. Forgetting that the xG attributed to getting a penalty is 0.8 because they attributed 80% to the likelihood of scoring from a penalty.

Nigeriagood:
vlahovic is not also the finished article

That was part of my point. As soon as Jackson was not scoring hattricks like Haaland, all the ITKs came out to remind everyone else how they wanted X player or Y player etc. Typical impatient fans.

Just give it sometime people will say they always wanted Unai Emery and what not. Forgetting this same man had managed Arsenal and was fired. You have to give people time to deliver before hounding them like hunting dogs.

monerozi5590:
Ok. 2015 to 2023. Bring facts if you have . People that have worked with him will always tell you he is a very honest man. Femi Adesina, Kazaure and others will always tell you that.

If you like keep shouting from now till tomorrow that Buhari is a corrupt man na you sabi.

It is convenient to paint Buhari with the same brush that Jonathan showered himself with everyday to hide their obvious Jonathanism. Partly why I don't join in the Buhari pillorying.

It is easy to see that Buhari was many things but thief is not one of them. Buhari is probably the poorest Nigerian former president and this includes Ernest Shonekan who was only there in the interim. And when one juxtaposes the offices he held with the "wealth and assets" he possesses - one is armed with extra proof.

I don't want to hear "but his children schooled in. . ." Or "he was going for medical check-ups in . . ." He is a former president. Find out the emoluments and benefits that go along with being that. You would know that he will be able to afford it - without being a thief.

andrewbaba44:
Last season was his first full season as a professional football who just upgraded from the Villarreal team B

12 goals in 26 league games for Villarreal last season wasn’t bad bro

Hojlund wey Man U pay 80 million for self no get Jackson stats

Admittedly, I don't know the player like some of you do. However, my main point was speaking to the fact that he was not signed as the finished article - and the same goes for all the CFC signings.

Nigeriagood:
vlahovic is not as imposing as you guys think,heck he is struggling with juve

You are talking to some of the most delusional and impatient people in the world who are yet to accept that they are not where they used to be.

BlueMann:
12 goals and 4 assists in 26 games (16 starts) last season in the La Liga, including 10 goals and 2 assists in 12 games (9 starts) in 2023.

Best conversion rate in la Liga last season (29.1%)

Fair enough, he should replicate the same form for Chelsea don't you think?

andrewbaba44:
To succeed for Chelsea come too hard ,Jackson was good at Villarreal

But the funny thing is that why didn’t Chelsea allow likaku to play this season for them ,I don’t understand the hate towards that guy

At what point here was Jackson "good"?

mostob:
Don't bank on this boss....

Your fellow Gooners never learn. This was the same premature victory speech from last season. "We are 8 points ahead. We are at the Emirates. We are playing better than City. There is no better time to beat them than now".

Still got spanked 3-1.

When they mention KDB and Rodri, everyone forgets the most important which is Pep Guardiola.

I'll be here to remind you.

Larride, the odds of getting fully funded via MSc route is hard to non-existent. Your 2 best options are either applying for PhD programs and then "mastering out" or writing a pity party personal statement and shooting for an MBA.

MBAs have less funding opportunities but when they are available, that is a huge ticket out of any situation. First, your odds of getting the F-1 visa approved improves significantly and then the job market is very robust for the MBA buffs. Amazon has hired 2 or 3 people I know making 220,000 - 330,000 USD per year as Technical Product Managers.

On the other hand, the PhD route is kind of windy and drawn-out but it is the best path towards funding and the Visa. Approval rate for PhDs is like 8/10 and you can come in with a TA or RA where you get your tuition waived and a stipend for conducting research for a Professor. You can always lose motivation 2 years in and ask the school for a master's degree. That is what mastering out is all about.

I'll say to make applications during the early bird season (so October-November latest for most schools) because it heightens your chances of being funded and if possible take aptitude tests like the GRE and TOEFL. Most schools are now claiming they are not needed, but they are, especially for a Nigerian with little to no research experience. Aptitude tests will bolster your application - so don't rely on anecdotes of people who did not have them but still got funded.

The USA route can be frustrating for many but the long term benefits to me are better. Biden is destroying the country so who knows what the future holds?

Theuniverse:
yes he has not won. but he has done what pochetino can never do in football. what has pochetino won and done in football?

Did you Google both managers before asking this question?

daveP:
Nope he didn't. Wasn't a pk.

No wahala.

Unlimited22:
The person that's arguing this got away with a blatantly offside goal VS Fulham yesterday

I hope you have posts on SHU's goal against City from last week or concerning Liverpool's first goal today.

patrickmuf:
That was not a penalty.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Johnny Evans was fouled.
