No Mata how good u are u can't outshine Messi in attacking midfield

A lot of players will never truly shine or play their fullest games till Messi retires or starts sitting out most games... Or the coach learns to reorganize that team outside him.

Goldencheese:
Neymar's transfer was earth-shaking at the time.

PSG was scammed big time... Not even a Champion's league title to show for it!!!

Bunch of foolish money miss roads!!!

Skmoda360:
They won't follow......most Nigerians enjoy the suffering and so let the long-suffering continues.....

I don't even pity them anymore... I will keep doing right by my family!!! Let them all burn with their dying nation!!!

The most cowardly and idiotic youths any nation can be unfortunate to have.

No wonder the corrupt leaders have neither fear nor remorse!!!

Rehabilitate and resettle terrorists who have caused massive deaths and destruction, but arrest, maim, imprison, shoot, and kill unarmed protesters...

I don't expect employees of a dullard to grow even an inch wiser!!!... Carry on with your stupidity, Mr. Shehu. You and your fellow servant, Adesina are doing quite well! Keep it up!!!

Abduldogo:
Lead and we will follow....

No, you won't...

rita25:

Yep... What has been nationally fvcked can never be unfvc...

Innocent rat wey miss road go come popular and trend pass half of the house mates!!! This life truly no balance!!!

lexy2014:
What's d guarantee that griezman would have succeeded in Man U?

Precisely... There is never any guarantee! Most times it's the luck of the draw.

This is why I frown at inflated transfer fees!!!

paulolee:
Yes...i love ur last sentence when you say not every signing works out, and not every player fits into a manager tactics, pls does dt mean that those players you listed are bad??
does it not seem to you that those players weren't needed in those setup dt made d transfers??
and dts d same thing i tink abt sancho but time wud tell

Yes, the players are exceptionally good in their own rights, but just couldn't cut it in those teams...

It is not that easy or simple to tell how well a player will fare in a given team... Sometimes it depends on the tactics of the coach, while other times it depends on the work rate and commitment of the player. It takes rare diligence, versatility and doggedness for some players to thrive anywhere they find themselves (E.g. Cristiano Ronaldo).

There is no telling how well Osimhen will even perform in a team like Napoli...

So, it is not about Man United or Chelsea or Barcelona... Other players also went to those clubs, and did exceptionally well.

paulolee:
swears bro, same way they nearly killed di maria, lukaku, depay and zaha till they all left and are playing good Football now..

Childish talk...

Did Man City also almost kill Sancho, Nasri, Robinho, Balotelli, etc??!
Did Chelsea also nearly kill Debruyne, Salah, Shevchencko, Demba Ba, etc??!
Did Liverpool destroy Ings, Lovren, Lallana, Clyne, Sturridge, etc??!

There is a team for every player... Not every signing works out!!! Not every player, however great, fits into every manager's unique game tactics. It's the way of football.

PataAlhaja:
That's the gross pay.

Remove 40% (effective tax rate) of the Gross and you get his net, take-home pay. Besides, those guys live large ... so a lot of bills to foot. Fancy cars, Olosho etc. Before you know, money don finish. The money no too plenty like that.

What is this one even typing??! How much is 1 Pound to a Naira??!... Even 10,000 Pounds is a lot of money to flex in a week.

hmohammed:
The lesson here is that we need to appreciate the quality of life in Nigeria. Dont let anyone deceive you that other African countries are doing better.

Appreciate what exactly??! The mediocrity and poor leadership all over the nation??!

Appreciating means you actually believe this is the best we can offer... That's a pathetic lie!!!

Nigerians have no moral basis to mock anyone or any country... No basis whatsoever!!!

Slow nation of hypocrites and Bigots!!! Mtchewww!!!

YelloweWest:
You judge the woman's decision and not his...

My stance is they both have ego issues. I just like tge fact tgat she knows what she wants. I also like that he stayed true to his belief.

I hope your stance will be same if a woman refuses to kneel during traditional marriage?

Exactly the same... Traditions and practices don't translate to harmony in matrimony.

Nuttella:
I said proposal have rules you follow which is kneeling down.

You see my point??!... What rules??! Who wrote them??! What year??!... When was the particular posture for both individuals agreed upon??!...

Nuttella:
Are we not saying the same thing?

Well, you are the one making a 'Big deal' out of the proposal process, not me!!!

YelloweWest:
Stay objective to the post. Don't derail.

There's nothing to show that a man standing to propose is automatically loyal and won't cheat.

I'm actually far more objective than you are...

If there's nothing to show that a man proposing while standing will be a good husband, it equally goes that adoption of a kneeling posture guarantees neither...

There's absolutely no correlation between a man's posture during proposal and how good a husband he would be in the union!!! Kneeling and standing are postures that can be adopted by anyone whether good, bad or ugly...

Be a good man, propose to your woman and treat her well... Kneeling or standing upright is quite secondary and mundane to the point. Judging a man based on his posture during engagement is not only myopic but laughable!!!

This is my stand!!! This is as objective as it gets!!! Thank you.

Nuttella:
Angelfrost come and read o, he didnt propose but he went ahead to pay brideprice. Shey you see what I've been saying since.

Would he have gone to see her parents without the go ahead or green light from her??! Would the parents accept bride price without their daughter's consent??!...

That consent or green light is the defacto "accepted proposal"!!! Further questions??!

FuckThaMod:
She think say she get sense

Egbon, Don't blame her... Too much telenovelas and Instagram videos!!!

Reality will eventually do the needful!!!

Everyone is just overreaching in their misplaced sensitivity and hypocrisy!!!

We read meaning into every simple act!!!.. Smh!!!

Nuttella:
He could have just gone to her village and do the needful, but he decided out of his own freewill to propose publicly, then he should have followed the engagement rule of kneeling down and save himself the embarrassment.

Gone to which village??! What are you on about?!.. Who begins the process of Introduction without getting the consent of the lady via proposal first??!..

...And, what rule of engagement??! The only documented rule of engagement is for the military!!! Where exactly is this one documented??! Who introduced it??! Who made it mandatory??! In what year??!...

You really need to stop trying too hard to push a nonexistent point!!!

lefulefu:
tolotolo should learn from this
see her mate over here still accepting the proposal even when the man did not kneel

Guy, forget kneeling, standing, jumping or crawling... That lady never ready to marry that guy! He is just one of several options she's been considering.

You are telling me if she was truly of age, and the guy has the appearance of Will Smith with the bank account of Ned Nwoko, that she would reject him solely for not kneeling??! Story!!!

Her knees would have peeled from kneeling and praying that God touches his heart to propose whether standing or walking past her.

Nuttella:
Standing tall when proposing is disrespectful.

How so?! In what book??! What unwritten code??!... But, standing tall to serve your husband and also greet him is not disrespectful??!...

Making a mountain out of a molehill will not help anyone!!! Let's stick to what is true and sensible. Any form of proposal which suits the parties is fine... At the end, it's the sincerity of the process that truly counts..

Just imagine what you are saying... So, man wey get knee issues or break leg should not propose till he is well enough to kneel... Hehehehe!!!

Nuttella:

Kneeling down and getting rejected is part of life nobody will say he/she hasn't been rejected before, we all have been rejected in one way or the other, moreover, before a lady will reject a man's proposal, it could be the man is very violent or a chronic womanizer, there must be something she saw in him that made her to refuse spending the rest of her life with him. Life is full of risks.

Exactly... Same way, standing tall and getting accepted is also a key part of life and the path to a happy matrimony!!!

So, we can both agree that any way the proposal comes is okay, and should not form the basis of a long lasting union. Thank you!!!

Oldoinyolengai:
Thank you.

Can you imagine ancestors resurrecting to see the way their descendants are living?

Now days men are losing their ground, modernity especially feminism is aiming to break man's backbone inorder to get control over the society.

Observe closely and you will notice men are increasingly becoming women and women are struggling to become men.

The matter just tire me o!!!... Imagine a very mundane thing becoming a big deal!!!

Well, let them continue... Make I just dey observe from my fence!!!

Nuttella:
When did you do your research to know that most guys are against kneeling down to propose? Am I living in Pluto? Because anytime I enter Facebook, I see different engagement and surprise parties where the man kneel down, some even kneel with both their legs, they do it happily, so dont say most men are against it, most men like it and if you are a gentleman, you should like it too.

I am a well raised gentleman, and I find it stale, pretentious, and pointless!!!

Believe me ma, most guys I have asked expressed their distaste for it... Of course, some will do it just to come off as "romantic" or to be a part of the bandwagon. The only 'happiness' there is finally getting it over with, and receiving an expected positive response.

What about guys who get rejected or rebuffed despite getting on their knees?! While their mates get through it positively without kneeling?! Was it their lack of "etiquette" that got them rejected or the disinterest of the ladies, which might have been clear all along??!

Everyone needs to be considerate here... While the airlines shouldn't cut jobs anyhow, the association needs to stop pretending and face reality. How are they supposed to maintain remuneration when they are operating way below profitability??!

They ought to reach a mutual compromise... They can meet with their staff, and table the pressing issues... Pay cuts and part time/contract services can be agreed in the interim... The economy is on the path to recovery (I hope), with time full services will resume, with things back to normal.

Nuttella:
What has kneeling down to propose got to do with semi n.ude maternity photoshoot? I know your very type, men like you are the ones that will kneel with both legs down, log out of Nairaland and face your real life, stop living in a world of fantasy here.

Happily married to an amazing woman for a good number of years now...

Never knelt to pop the question (a formality since we both already knew). Not because I couldn't, just have a disdain for silly bandwagons... She was quite intelligent enough not to major on such triviality too.

Well, everyone with his or her opinion! However, I can bet you most guys dislike such borrowed practices of public proposals. A lot of them do it against their better judgements... If you doubt me, just ask around!!!

YelloweWest:


Thank God he did not kneel

Thank God she rejected him.

They both want different things.

He will find a girl that is ok with her man not being able to kneel for a woman.

She too will find a man that will kneel for her.

Good luck to both of them... A wise lady would know that it's better to have a loving man sincerely and honestly propose standing upright than a cheating fraud kneel or genuflect in proposal with no intention of ever treating her right...

Kneeling or bowing doesn't show true love. Any con artist can kneel to get what he wants.

Nuttella:
ThankGod she refused the proposal, its a red flag, why won't he kneel down to propose? he must have taken lots of red pills from Nairaland alpha males, such stupidity makes me cringe.

For every refused proposal, there will be at least 2 women willing to walk the matrimonial walk even without the pointless ceremony of a proposal...

As if the ones that subject themselves to becoming single mothers or baby mamas had the guy go on bended knees before knocking them up...

It is stupid for a grown man not to kneel to pop a question both parties are already expecting, but very wise for a woman to go semi n*de in the name of Maternity photo shoot... Nor be only red flag, what of National coat of arms!!!

ElonMosque:
The rules have changed ooo

Don't know why, but I just like your Moniker!!!

Hahjascho:
Copy cats everywhere. That was how a lady uploaded a baby shower of her pregnancy.

The concerned guy divorced her straightaway.

Gullibility and insecurity are two jolly friends.

Which Baby shower or maternity photo shoot in the first place??! In whose house??!... Mtchewww!!!
