E be like say today na Away wins day o!

So, Brighton will be the ones smiling at Full-time.


Ogogoro FC don already collect for house... Next stop, Old Trafford fans... Followed by Brentford fans.


This is going to be a good weekend for Gunners.

Lamasta:
I don't even know if to be happy or sad at this result

I think I will go with SHOCKED...!

...And they were downplaying Man United's victory over this same team at Old Trafford.

What a shame!


Maresca and his team should respectfully return that WCF trophy immediately.

Garnacho finally scores...! More goals for him.

Chelsea go run down Sunderland.

That is over ₦200,000,000!

Now that your earnings are out in the open, remember to pay your tithe to the pastor and tax to Lagos State

It's always amusing and weird how you Nigerians just believe any and everything these clowns influencers on social media dish out...!

Well, Nathaniel Bassey did warn his members to ignore those using the spiritual program to chase clout...!

This is one of those he warned about.

Few People with lots of wealth and needless influence just sit down in their comfortable homes and declare war for underpaid young men to go and die in the name of defending their nation's honor or policing another.


Till this day, American leaders can't truly account for the whole point of sending thousands of young men to go and die in the Middle East.


The lives wasted and properties destroyed in Syria, Yemen, Ukraine, Iraq, and several other places will never ever make sense to anyone with even the slightest sense of morality and rationality.



All the nations sending the soldiers, funding and sponsoring the wars have remained uninvaded in history...!

What does that tell you?!!

Dem don recruit armed robbers and agberos full EFCC and other security outfits...!


What a country!

lightwind:
$
How can USA not be number one on that list
Including Canada
$

The thing shock me...! But, Canada's own might just be down to their having less overall population than Nigeria.

Though larger in land mass, they have less than a fifth of Nigeria's population.


That said... Is there any negative global list that doesn't have Nigeria listed on it?!!


At this point, I'm beginning to think they just throw in Nigeria for fun or to represent Africa or West Africa.

Ttalk:
If you are being sincere you'll understand that what was destroyed for 60years will take more than 2 years to rebuild.

If you want to criticised do it with open mind

Yes chief... I completely agree with that obvious fact.

However, what I find awfully upsetting is when those who participated and even had a hand in destroying the nation now the ones making the excuses or acting like they were always far removed from these atrocities.


Guy, Tinubu and his people should shut the f*ck up and work!

They should be showing results not making excuses and constantly tossing blames all over.

It's ridiculously embarrassing to keep throwing blames at the very person you helped install into that office twice in a row.

casualobserver:
There are things that the minute you open your mouth, people with pedigree, class and proper upbringing know you come from an environment without class or pedigree. Being poor doesnt mean you dont have good upbringing or class. Class is largely defined by having boundaries of what is or isnt acceptable behaviour.

It is important that I state, because many of you do not understand, that position or wealth is not the same as pedigree or class. A man or woman can win the lotto and buy all the trappings of wealth but they can’t buy class. Class is a state of mind, it is how you think, it is what behaviors, situations and environments you deem beneath you. What many of you deem to be class is actually crass behavior because many of you do t know what having class truly means.

That’s why it’s difficult to explain this to many of you and why you will never get it. The mentality and upbringing of a commoner is what is on display by many on my mentions.


Someone whose pedigree and upbringing is low can rise to the position of a First Lady. It doesn’t mean she has class. We’ve seen this before in Nigeria. She will behave like a commoner because that is who she is. If you judge class by money or position then you don’t know what class it. I’d you don’t know what it means to have class how can you identify someone who is behaving like a mongrel? Class is not about position or wealth, class is about having boundaries and knowing what is appropriate behavior. you don’t date your friends ex, your brothers ex, same way a woman with class knows having served as First Lady, you cannot be First Lady of another country. First lady ship is not short time and serving who comes next.

A First Lady is a public figure for the rest of her life even after leaving office. She is a mother of a nation, she cannot behave anyhow even after leaving office. There was outrage from the American public, the Kennedy family, the Greeks, the Vatican when Jackie Kennedy married Greek magnate Onassis after the assassination of JFK. Onasis wasnt even a head of state and Americans aren’t exactly refined people with class. Even they knew it was an insult to the institution of the 1st lady and what it stands for.


But this is Nigeria, your heroes public figures and role models are themselves questionable characters so I am not shocked by the responses.

Like I said there is a reason she is the first and the only, even in biblical times there is non on record.


People use the word “class” anyhow, usually people without class who have no pedigree or class and hence have never experienced how people with class operate. Again what separates someone with class is not position, materialism or wealth but knowing that because you can doesn’t mean you should. Take that lesson into your lives and don’t throw the word class around until you actually know what having class means! No offense but your last sentence is the biggest telltale sign that someone has no class! That you can doesn’t mean it is the right or appropriate thing to do, again that is what separates those with class from t house without.

Nice write up... I honestly appreciate the time you took to put this forward, and I took my time to read every word.

Still, while I never even disagreed with your earlier position, I yet respectfully stand on my submission.

At the end of the day, class is relative and subject to bias... On this, I don't even stand to be corrected.


See ehn... That our former first ladies that are widowed chose to stay unmarried doesn't make them more classy than their counterparts that remarried in other parts of the world.

Cultures and customs are dynamic and are continually unique across the globe.

In Nigeria, the widowed Kumuyi of Deeper Life remarried after his wife's burial... Same with late. Odukoya.

If the roles were reversed, would their better halfs have done the same?!! The answer is no! Why not?!! Because it is a cultural thing that most Widows in Nigeria hardly remarry or easily remarry.

That doesn't mean their counterparts doing the same in other nations is wrong or out of place, or as we put it, less classy.


Again, I respect your position on this discourse and matter, but I find it still rank with cultural bias.


At the end, we can agree to disagree.

Thank you.

Ttalk:
What is your complain exactly, Tinubu or Buhari, which one is Tinubu protested during Jonathan regime.

Coordinate your thoughts and argue intelligently and stop mumbling every idea that comes your mind together

Maybe your comprehension is playing tricks on your limited mental capacity.

Let me help you...!


1. Tinubu is the current President of Nigeria, and has absolutely no business giving the same excuses for poor results that he criticised and called unacceptable when he was in the opposition.

2. If Nigerian citizens that you guys are blaming for Nigeria's woes today are or were the very same citizens while pdp was in office, then you have absolutely no right or basis to blame them now since you didn't blame them back then.

3. Finally, the office of leadership demands results and not excuses. If we didn't excuse or make excuses for PDP, why should we now do the same for APC and Tinubu?!!



Is it clearer now?!! Can your brain assimilate this simplification?!!.

Thank you.

Ttalk:
Stop typing rubbish, where Tinubu comes from gas , Monorail, Road transports system and network, well organized security system, which of this one does the person you support build in his state.

There should be fine for nonsense talk on Nairaland

1. I support no one, except those leading the nation to greatness. Nigeria as a nation is dear to my heart, and comes first above politics of tribe or religion.

2. Since Tinubu comes from a region that is "heaven on earth", and he singlehandedly made the Elysium or eldorado happen, then replicating it all over the nation shouldn't be hard na... Shebi he came into Aso Rock with the Blueprint, abi the thing loss for road?!!

3. If there is a huge fine for typing and posting nonsense in every forum online, an average sycophantic supporter of crappy leadership will either be broke in days or go offline for life.



I have una time today...!

ibedun:
These emotional people are still pained over the sacking of inept idiotic Goofyluck Jonathan who presided over the country when barrel of oil was $150+

God save this country from low IQ citizenry

Nope... I'm neither emotional nor pained about a damn thing.

I actually celebrated Jonathan's removal... He is dull and inept! No questions about that.

Since your "high IQ" President has now taken over after being well elected by equally high IQ citizens, what exactly are now demanding from God?!!


Is God the one in charge of governance at all levels?!!

Are the citizens with their low IQ, as you call them, the ones borrowing money upandan from every country abroad?!!

Are the citizens the ones directly or indirectly in charge of all security systems and apparatus in this country?!!

Are the citizens the ones appointing clueless clowns into sensitive and key positions or sectors?!!!


Are they also the ones spending Billions on frivolities and projects that have next to no economic values?!!



I normally ignore dull sycophants on this forum, but I have the day off and plenty of time.

ibedun:
People who have never been a common local government councillor will be criticising the president of Nigeria. Go and ask your councillor why are your local roads so bad and nothing is being done - perhaps you might learn what budgetary limitations mean.
Why ain’t you all living in VI or Banana Island? Because you don’t have the money. Nigeria is a cash strapped poor country with unproductive ignorant citizens who believe (pathetically) the government has a solution to all problems. SMDH in disgust!!!

Please keep quiet abeg...!

When Tinubu helped sponsor and participate in those protests in 2012 against fuel subsidy removal (occupy Nigeria) along with Wole Soyinka, I never heard any of you say these things.

When they blamed insecurity (which is now 10 times worse) on Jonathan's cluelessness and corruption, where did you hide your voice?!!


When Buhari bragged about ending insecurity within 6 months in office, didn't you hail him?!!


When Tinubu was churning out promises in 2023 and claiming to have the "Blueprint", did you all remind him that the office is an "impossible" one?!!!



Tinubu finally got what he and you all wanted, became President of this big country, and suddenly you have all now realised that only hardworking and good citizens who suffer in silence can make the country great!


Una never see anything... You go explain and gaslight your citizens taya.

Benniemannz:
It's what they're known for sadly. Protect your kids by all means

It's really sad...! Kids are no longer safe at all.

Parents have to be extra vigilant.

He is in serious trouble... Americans don't take kindly to child molestation. He will keep watching his back for the rest of his miserable life, especially in Prison.

Ttalk:
Stop asking nonsense question, fixing something that is destroyed for for 60years in 2 years?

Make opposition dey apply sense small small now

You mean the 60 years he was far away from the corridors of power?!!

The 60 years where he had nothing to do with opposing and countering the efforts of those trying to lead the nation?!!


The 60 years where he never had any issue or tried to scuttle the efforts to remove the same subsidy he quickly removed last 2 years?!!


...Or are you saying your President didn't have sense all those years he was working against Jonathan?!!

If?!!... It's okay!

Let's keep pretending and deceiving ourselves that these people actually know what they are doing in that office.

Sigh... If you want to be sexually depraved, is being gay not bad enough?!! Why force kids?!!

Rapists are among the lowest and worst scum on this Earth.

They are far more despicable than Maggots.

Kalulu44:
Lolz! In as much as I know Osimhen is a good striker. But Epl go hard am small o

The way e take hard Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Sergio Aguero, Mo Salah, or the Wizkid himself, Haaland?!!

Leave that matter... Give Osimhen unselfish ball crossing and accurate passing players like Pedri, Debruyne, and TAA, make I see how he won't be scoring minimum of 25 - 30 goals every single season.

I never still understand how Sowore that organised a Protest is walking and strolling in and out of Police stations freely... But those that merely participated are in jail.


Our Judiciary is becoming a serious joke these days.

Elon Musk and just a couple of their "numerous" Billionaires can effortlessly clear that debt within 5 years.


As long as their currency remains the universal trading standard issue, and the debt is measured in that currency... Technically, they are cruising.

Unlike 3rd world nations owing Billions in that same American currency while their own currency is weak.

casualobserver:
There is no class in this. Go and ask the Mozambicans how they feel about the wife of their national hero remarrying and becoming the First Lady of another country.

Before you glorify the inglorious, how would a Nigerian feel about the wives of Awo, Zik, Balewa or Sardauna if they remarried the president of day Ghana after their deaths?

Like I said before there is a reason she is the first and the only. It is not done!

That the others didn't do it, doesn't make it inglorious or abominable.

She didn't divorce the man, but was widowed... By the laws of God and man, she did absolutely nothing wrong or despicable.


Say what you like, but it remains your personal opinion... She exuded class! Simple!

Come to think of it, if all the former first ladies you mentioned chose to remarry even a gatekeeper in their old age, no one would have overly stressed their brains about it.

Their lives as private individuals, their choices.

Kushites:
This Mike whatever you call yourself, WHAT is your own problem?

Everyday one thing or another from you.

Face your country, Mr Man, with your fat dictator Trump.

Which country is Reno Omokri facing?!!

Last time I checked, he is actually a citizen of the United States, a country he spends far more time in than Nigeria.

He lives comfortably there, and keeps attacking Peter Obi who lives and pursues his politics in Nigeria.

So, what are you talking about?!!

FarahAideed:
Are you are child that a clown like Reno cam influence

Lol.. What a question.

You should be asking that to millions of Nigerian youths that take Reno seriously.

Kalulu44:
You don take style drift comot from Osimhen talk

Lol... I just replied somebody on the matter above.

Osimhen is blessed beyond words... The best export from Naija since Okocha, Kanu and Yekini era.

Maybe EPL doesn't want a black striker dominating their league again, doing another Thierry Henry.

Love800:
Am not talking about only the premier league.
Am referring to the big-five leagues(you know dem).

Yes he stayed top of his striking game in France and Italy, but why can't he continue!
Why cant he be consistent while at ligue 1 and serie A! Why always running away! Cant he stay and be creating more impression!
Why the farm leagues for our players!

The strikers that epl signed that are not proving worth, its not anything actually.
At least its an honour and value to grace the big leagues.

And by the way, talking about isak sef(i know am deviating here), dis is just his first season. I hate it when fans especially nigerian fans always criticize players negatively in their first debut in their respective new clubs.

The base line still remains nigerian players always fear challenges.

Iheanacho na vex me pass sef!

Bro, you need to keep up with actual facts surrounding these players not merely relying on hearsay.

Osimhen had absolutely no desire or initial plan to spend anything less than 3 to 5 seasons with Napoli... He was practically their Wonder kid! A good luck charm they are yet to replace till date.

They struggled to win games without him, and only narrowly won the league last season because Inter chose to loosen their grip or were distracted with UCL ambition.

Now, Napoli has lost 2 consecutive games woefully (their recent UCL game was a shocking annihilation).


The club mistreated, and placed him on the market with a hefty price tag...! What was he supposed to do?!! Kneel down and beg them after the disregard and disrespectful behaviour?!!


EPL clubs were queuing up to sign him, but Napoli chose to remain a barrier with their unreasonable demands and valuation. Only Turkey and Middle East could meet them.

Even you know he would have been going toe to toe with Haaland if he had come to the EPL.

Kalulu44:
If Bruno and Maguire can outscore him to make us make top 6,5 or 4 no problem

That's all well and good... But, why spend such a huge amount on him if his services are not needed?!!

Money wey una for use take sign Baleba or Wharton to help or bench Casemiro for that midfield, while using Zirkzee or Cunha upfront.

A woman with class...!

No matter how beautiful you are, without dignity, intelligence and class, you will remain pedestrian in life and relationships.

Kalulu44:
We no need am thank you

Una kuku no need the one wey una spend big money sign, since una coach dey bench am anyhow...!


He will still sit on the bench when Brighton comes this weekend.

Maguire might even outscore him this season... Bruno will certainly outscore him, that's why he refuses to pass most times.

Love800:
Osimhen is still a local champion!

He should come to premier-league and be breaking these records!

Nigeria players always fearing challenges.

Look at okocha, as good as he is, he couldn't play for any good club. Always average clubs!

His boy ronaldinho shined and made many records!

But, Ronaldinho never graced the Premier League... Same as Messi and many others.

Does that mean they were all local champions?!!

Osimhen has stayed top of his striking game, from French Ligue 1 to Serie A, now Turkish League.

It's no fault of his that EPL clubs decided against matching his valuation.

That's their loss... Not his!

Look at the amount spent on Strikers by the top EPL clubs... How many of them currently produce at Osimhen's level?!!

Meanwhile, his former club is stumbling and fumbling around in the dark...!

Good for him. So happy he has stayed consistent.

Defenders of everything Naija will tell you that such a thing is part of law enforcement globally...!

That there is nothing wrong with the way our Police handle things.
