A Semi Ajayi Promotion Titbit

#VeryInterestingFact

In the 2018/2019 Championship season, Semi Ajayi got relegated to league one with Rotherham Utd at the home ground/pitch of West Brom. The match ended 2-1 with Semi starting in midfield.

Fast forward, West Brom signed him and another campaign began. The 2019/2020 Championship season.

Now today, on this same West Brom pitch where he got relegated last season, he has just secured promotion to the EPL.


Same pitch, relegated to EFL league one last season but promoted to the EPL this season.

Both events happened on the same pitch. What a story.

Football is beautiful and full of twists.


Congrats Big Semi. Another Super Eagle in a Big 5 league.

This semi guy is a giant ooo

sikowitz17:
its in the video Ugo posted... you’ll see how the AK passed the rapid fire test

Oh...that gun

That's why I asked why the army couldn't provide similar kits to the men

Maybe, if posted to NE, I'll get my own Night vision and kevlar.... I don't want avoidable deaths

sikowitz17:
Can you just look at this AK47 that I thought was shit!!! Kai

Post the pic please

I can't see it

jelraj:
Ak is very powerful weapon...
The helmet couldn't hold it

It's best one don't pray to get hit in the head, can't i[b]magine the pain.[/b]
Thanks for the video

The death is instant bro

I doubt there's pain to be felt

sikowitz17:
You train with different kinds of weapons in NDA... when you go for camps, especially highland, you will pick from a variety of weapons...cadets even carry MGs during camp highland

Bro, I was going to ask the same thing

In the academy, all the cadets are properly kitted. What happens to all the kits after the academy. Why are they denied proper kits? Its in the front lines these kits are really needed

ugo4u:
Army received their 2020 budget just last week (After 7 months) hopefully something will sup (enlistment).

Can you imagine my brother....

No wonder, these politician s don't render NA ineffective

Yours truly has just been signed by Barcelona FC













As a psychologist for Lionel Messi because of the monumental loss of the laliga trophy

MrSuama:
I don't know if I would ever make it into the army but if I do, I hope to give my best.
Having followed the happenings over the past years, from losing two cousins (a Colonel & a Lt Colonel), to seeing how soldiers and insurgents execute their captives, to seeing how our soldiers were shown on France 24 fleeing for their dare life's after been overpowered by the insurgents some four or five years ago.
I have come to realise we need snipers and am hoping and planning of being the most successful one if destiny prevails.
All the best to everyone, I wish we could all be commissioned this year.
Remember, he who runs lives to fight another day. Sometimes running (officially known as tactical withdrawal) is the best option. It happens everywhere and some successful war veterans have applied the approach. Even insurgents withdraw to regroup, restrategize and ultimately launch an offensive.
Finally, for those who will make it, if you want to live to tell the stories of sambisa, think like an insurgent and act like one in the theatre of war. If they give us guerrilla tactics we give em back the guerrilla style because sometimes what we would learn at jaji and Kaduna no go add up for North East and West.
Victory is from God alone.
And in him we put all our trust.

I wonder if their curriculum is updated to mirror the harsh realities of insurgency

explosiveskull:
Seconded.
I really never liked this awkward ak to start with, I heard it comes with only 30 rounds per magazine.
Another thing is that our soldiers to be retrained time from time cos you'll see a soldier mounting roadblock and can be in this road block posting for years and in those years never shot his gun or saw any fire fight, wouldn't them must have forgotten how to aim and shoot accurately.
Am of the opinion that in every 6 months depending on your corp to always go for retraining.

You're right about the retraining aspect

You see ehn, a former retired staff sergeant said something in an interview with sahara reporters that irked me.

He said that when funds for training abroad comes for the NCOs (that is privates, corporals, sergeants etc), the senior officers (even colonel) will drop rank so that they can go abroad for the training.....and yet, they refuse to even implement such in the battlefield... Since the training wasn't even meant for them in the first place

hargbajaylorla:
Honestly those AKs our soldiers are carrying are eyesore, and they don't even look intimidating at all. Our Soldiers are using rusty Aks. Bokos, ISWAP, Bandits, Armed robbers, Cultist, Area boys are also using the same thing. Forget about the durability or ruggedity of the rifle, this is not what the Army of a big country like Nigeria supposed to be using.

Okay tell me what the NA is supposed to be.using....?

jelraj:
I don't think so, the sniper rifle is not a very mobile weapon.. It's more like a long distance kind kg of weapon. Which infantry soldier will want to be carrying such around?

I think there are special people trained for that kind of weapon.

The sniper rifle isn't designed for close quarter combat and isn't ideal in those scenarios. It is used for taking out long range targets. The assault rifle is designed for close range combat

ELJC:
Well the both of you are free to waste your life I don’t care, just telling peeps here not to be deceived by preposterous fellow like you both. Peace.

Chillout bro..you shouldn't be this hurt by my words unless you know its somehow true deep down

sikowitz17:
just keep consoling yourself bro

I just dey laugh the guy

He will soon face reality

Odunayaw:
I de jare. I just do fast and furious on Nairaland these days... Hope you're good

I'm Good bro..Thanks

Odunayaw:
9000th Page

How far bro?

Long time no chit chat

spetsnaz:
You suppose know say na copy and paste things na.

Its obvious...I have even read the article before on quora

Mafialeader:
I dey imagine the way e go shock you when you enter Navy see you and our other mates for NE

3 yrs ago or thereabouts, there was a documentary by NTA on wounded men from the NE in the reference hospital, Guess what? a Naval Commander (an officer by the way) was one of them...

If his aim is to Enjoy life and not face danger, then the military ain't for him

AirmanB:
Amen! God knows how much I love my country, n how much I would love to fight for her honor.

Bur it seems dar d country doesn't love it's citizens, d prefer Politicians to drive in bullet proof cars Dan soldiers in NE. How can I convert a truck used for mobility of personnels n building materials to military patrol trucks, it's wickedness.

One landmine n everyone dere is gone, or even if d survive, enemies in bush can fire bullets at d just exploded vehicle to ensure dat no1 survives.

I know dat Ak47 is still an Excellent assault rife, but wad happens to upgrading it to d M series ??

I hardly see NAF n NN personnels with crude weapons even their escort convoys are eye appeasing. I will jst apply for all of dem sha, bur if NN or NAF pick me, na good bye to NA b dat.

Let me educate you on the bolded.....

An advantage the AK series has over the M16 and M1s is the fact that the Aks hardly jam even when exposed to adverse weather conditions.

Also, the Mseries are very expensive and harder to maintain...you need special oils to even clean them unlike the AK 47

The AK-47 also has a longer range...only disadvantage is the recoil, so it isn't as accurate as the M series weapons

What we need are newer AK rifles to replace the older ones...

Hope this helps

Olulong:
I was referring to Zubby. Zubby is just 23 officially and he's a midfielder, a position where we lack much personnel. He playing in the UCL and Azeez in the Europa league will be good for us

Don't really follow the guy's career but is he(Zubby) a first team regular?

Okay, Now all has been said and done, who is till sure about joining the NA

We can see that even fighting bandits is akin to fighting ISWAP...that's if they are not even the same organization

Me, I have made up my mind

Long live Nigerian Army

Olulong:
Seems he has been offered a permanent deal. It would be nice to see him feature for his club in the Champions League which might earn him a recall to the super eagles

I doubt Rohr would call Nwakaeme or even Simy...Rohr likes them young and fresh

Sad sha

Very sad

RIP to the fallen heroes

sikowitz17:
please is he the same person... they don’t look alike ooo or do they?

Na the same person

sikowitz17:
oga mi post... nothing dey happen! We are intending officers...

Seconded

ugo4u:
We hv to respect the dead.

While I understand your point SIr and I support you, it will still be good that these gory pics are seen so that we can prepare our minds and it will also help others understand the harsh realities of the on-going combat

So, please go ahead

ugo4u:
Sad indeed..

Is this the Gallant Officer?

sikowitz17:
itll be like course 45... pass medicals and they’ll take you irrespective of what the board scores you..people won’t turn up for screening..

Especially this factor

ugo4u:
e get why

Bro, what could be the reason for such withdrawal?

Is it a conspiracy to ensure that Rcs are kept alive so that they become leaders in the future or what?

sikowitz17:
I hope they’ll not ask us to bunch up like we usually do sitting on the floor spreading and contacting corona lol...

No lele

They may increase their intake this year or lower some of their requirements....who knows

With the way officers are dying (along with youth interests in the Army), this years screening would be very interesting

odimbannamdi:
Chill till portal gets opened. The army may state 29 as maximum age.

But, to be a little bit proactive, he can begin now to swear affidavits and align his documents to a reduced age.

Thanks brother

Well appreciated

ugo4u:
One can't say untill army opens their registration portal and list the requirements they need.
But going by last year's requirements your friend would have been eligible to go for SSC as the age cap was 28 by January 2020.

Thanks brother
