Conte is criminally underrated outside Italy.
Conte had the financial backing more than Klopp.

Liverpool had to pay off debts before signing players...

We were nearly brought to bankruptcy by our former owners before FSG corporation took over and signed klopp

Blueelf, I'm so sorry bro..

I hope you didn't postpone your birthday celebration like I suggested? grin
I didn't my brother

I kinda expected this. Our players didn't train and were caught up I'm the celebrations. Also, Man City had a point to prove and the guard of honor pissed them off. So, nothing new jare.

Doesn't change the fact that we are champions.

Still unhappy with the margin though grin cheesy

For now phasing out light skin vehicles e.g Innoson, Toyota Hilux, lights skin Buffaloes etc and going for Mraps, IFVs, APCs and other amoured platforms etc is the only realistic possibility for now. The NA don't have the financial muscle to fund the establishment of a fully functional combat aviation unit, the day politicians deem it fit to prioritize our defence budget that's the day things will start to change for good, most of our defence budget e.g 2019 went on recurrent expenditure just a fraction is for capital projects and acquisition of equipments, even at that not all was approved. We should just "dead" the idea of getting helo gunship for the army for now and focus on replacing all light skin vehicles for armoured version. We will need atleast a $200m to start up an aviation unit with say 2 light attack helicopters and 2 transport helo with complement of armaments, technicians, Pilots and infrastructure to house the machine, this is aside budgeting for regular maintenance, fueling and other logistics, half of that money will go a long way in buying state of the art equipments/vehicles the army needs. Infact with $100m we can get over 200units of category 2 MRAPs, including Big foot variants etc from America, remember American toys are premium, if we look towards China we can get a copy of their machines for half the amount.
We can also look towards eastern Europe to get some of these machines which are cheaper there even most have being decommissioned in those countries we will get them at giveaway prices, they'll be very useful here(North east).
Then we may give Proforce, DICON and Innoson huge contracts to mass produce armoured vehicles (Long-term project).
If we must use Hilux and other open roof vehicles then it should be the armoured version.
Bros, I expect you to know better...

OK, what has the service chiefs dine with the budget given to it so far?

What if the counter-insurgency funds given to it?

If they can't be faithful with little, do you think increasing the defence budget will do any better?

Firstly, a prove must be undertaken to ascertain how the defence budget has been expended (from 2013 till date).

Then, we can talk about increasing the budget

Since Onyekuru has falling off, he is our best winger, really deserves a call-up. To be a Key Player in a club like Trabzonspor is no easy feat. Imagine the number of dribbles he completes at 31, second best rated player in the whole of Turkey.

Funny Enough, report has already declared that 9ja Armed Forces get Enough MRAPs as per its Custom Mass Production by PROFORCE In Ogun state and susbsequent Patronage by the 9ja Army... But the question is DOES THE WHOLE PRODUCTION PROCESS CONFORM TO THE ISO9001 STANDARD?? Seriously this country Ehnn, We s have a long way to go

And as for the Helicopter Gunships transporting Soldiers, Former 7 Division GOC once said it's presence in the battlefield will easily giveaway the Troops Location to the Enemy coz of its Loud Noise and thus The Reason why there has been Inadequate Supply of Welfare Packages to the Gallant Men in the Warzone...

Now my question is Shey Alternative No dey nii? Haba Nah make we reason am
Are you sure the MRAPS are enough? Did the supplier actually supply the amount needed? Its not new when contractors don't fulfill their and of the bargain in Naija. As for the gunships, noise ain't an excuse. Even the US military uses combat Helicopters and MrAPS as standard. That's why its called a Gunship. Engage the enemy before you're brought down

Dont you see he's a point man. Watch his days in the lower league, i have a few clips to buttress my point. His right leg can stun any defence and trust me, Sevilla needs someone that can position before a key pass is made.

I can mention 7 top and world class players that played more mins and fired blank for 3 to 5games in that same La Liga. I didnt see you scream down their necks. Despite they having more technical gifted players than in Villarreal, you no shout o.


Some played 70mins


Na 10mins you want make he score.

Even Messi needed more mins to do so.


Free the guy. Media outlets are applauding his contributions, you're here talking of firing blanks.



Lemme even ask


Do you watch his games?


There is one pattern of play he does these days when approaching the opponent's box 18. Pls tell me what that pattern/decision is..... angry
Before you rant unnecessarily, read the first paragraph.


Is it his fault that he is getting such game time?

Obviously I was putting blame on the coach

Osimhen Transfer Update

Osimhen met with the Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis (ADL) yesterday and from various reports, it went well. He was meant to return to France today before making his final decision but latest reports coming out of Italy right now say he has decided to stay one more night in Naples.

This City is already "sweeting" the Big lad. grin
