I just hate all dis our nonsense red and white jerseys they've been doing of recent. Can't these guys get innovative?

It's just same old boring red and white that keeps getting less catchy every year. That's why I stopped buying these red and white and for 3 years straight I've bought the away jersey and third kits.

[quote author= post=102590396]Learn how to come out bold and call a spade a spade.
Stop tribalizing a crime.
This is the nonsense most of you so called leaders of tomorrow are good at.
Why can't they start from the people around your vicinity that you see everyday rather than a particular person.
So if the Malami you mentioned is not prosecuted, no other person should be prosecuted aight?
Usual Nonsensical childish rubbish!

Is this how you want your country to move forward when TRIBALISM and RELIGIOUS shenanigans has eaten deep into all of you like Ants.
The earlier you stop this nonsense, the better for your future and the future of your unborn kids.

"Na our uncle, na our uncle make una allow am thief"

Shame on you and your tribalistic type!

We will continue to hit all of una heads with the truth.
Truth is not bitter, just that people are bitter to the truth.
[/quote]I don't even know how to respond to people like u.

1.CBN is saying it is a crime for anyone to spray/bastardize the naira.

2. I pointed it out here that the chief law officer of the country has a video of himself committing the same crime CBN is threatening they will prosecute people for.

3. Is it not wise to suggest that CBN should start such prosecution with the biggest fish in the pond?

4. Is that in any way a matter of tribal sentiments? Did I mention Malami or anybody's tribe? Do u even know what tribe I belong to?

5. Why must CBN start their prosecution with somebody from my vicinity when they have the AGF breaking the law and posting the video online? Don't think they will not need to spend excessively on gathering evidence with the videos already available on the open internet?


Okay, I think I need to ask what exactly is wrong with people like u? Why do u see religious/tribal sentiments in every discourse? Who did this to u?

They should start with malami first. He was caught on camera spraying at his son's wedding having flouted the COVID-19 guidelines join. The video was everywhere on the internet.

If they can't prosecute him then they should stop making empty threats up and down

Question for the fans

Why do you think Saka was preferred over the likes of Greenwood and Lingard in earning a place in the England Euro squad?
Only the coach can answer this question accurately well. Maybe cos he can function in both offensive and defensive roles when the need be....Or maybe he's just the coach's favorite and nothing more.

Whichever it is, he deserves it and should do well when he's called upon by the gaffer at any point in the competition.

There are some food you can't use scotch bonnet.. Some recipes don't call for hot pepper.

Adding hot pepper in some food make it tasteless because you only have to taste the hotness of the food not the flavour.

Gracias por el cumplido..I'll put out the recipe soon, you can also make use of chilli pepper in this recipe but not scotch bonnet.. Thanks

Boss, I do wonder how people abroad get to cook with tomatoes and not use pepper. By pepper I mean scotch bonnet or tatashe at least; because to me black pepper (the one sold in the mall in small containers) is not really pepper like that.

This food here looks so good and I'm tempted to ask for the cooking process so I can try it, but I really don't how it will taste without “real pepper “.... Maybe cos my taste bud is used to eating pepper growing up

Sometimes actions speaks louder than voice, his action to refrain from speaking when there's obviously nothing to talk about is indeed commendable, especially at a period in which speaking against this evil federal goverment is equated to treason like in the days of Abacha

The way the igbos are going about this, will push Nigeria into another civil war....


I hope that we are truly prepared for this nonsense..

Many should know that, there are a lot of igbos in the north than Hausas and Fulanis in the East.
Did u read the last paragraph of the post? If u did, I guess u didn't understand what the prof was saying.....let me break it down for you :

"When Benue indigenes were killed by fulani Herdsmen, it took numerous pressure from the bereaved and the public in General for Buhari to visit the scene. When he eventually did, the only thing Buhari's non functioning brain could come up with was telling those whose families were killed by the Fulani terrorist to learn to live with their neighbours "

If u understand this and still think IPOB, Odùduwà agitators, etc are the problem, then u really need to wait till Fulani Herdsmen or their evil twin ; bandits get to Ur doorstep ( that's if u are not one urself)
Politics › Re: Former NHIS Boss, Prof Usman Yusuf Calls Igbo, Yoruba And Edo People Criminals by BlueRayDick:
If a professor reason and speak like this, only God knows how the average norterner who doesn't hold as much a bachelor's degree will reason.

There are hundreds of videos online showing Fulani Herdsmen having their cows graze of people's farms destroying crops and tye Herdsmen not giving a damn about being caught on camera destroying people's sweat. This useless professor never spoke against such wickedness obviously because it will mean he's not supporting his people.

The governors of the south having been bugged by complaints by their people finally listen and took the best decision of placing ban on the irresponsible acts of the killer herders and suddenly this so called professor finds his voice.

Imagine comparing the legitimate business of selling spare parts (which everyone who uses an automobile in the east surely depends on for maintenance of their vehicles) to the economic crime of herders grazing on people's farm....If a professor that is supposed to be a body of knowledge displays such level of intellectual bankruptcy, only God knows the kind of knowledge he must have passed to his students angry

I think the Onana rumored transfer now makes sense cos I was wondering what would become of Ryan if Onana is added to our goal keeping team

I read Arsenal is in talks with Onana with plans to bring him in probably to replace Leno who is rumored to be on his way out.

If this is true, I hope we get good money from the sale of Leno.....if he's going to cause imbalance to the team by leaving when we should be enjoying him then we should get compensated for that honestly.

Maybe it's just not your thing.

Like me, I don't enjoy swallow foods.
Hmmmm....u are the second African I know who doesn't fancy swallow. For me swallow isn't a necessity but when I'm opportuned to eat any of my favorite swallow I usually don't hesitate.

The first person I know who doesn't fancy swallow is my friend whom we were friends from 100L to final year . Last year we went to visit a friend and his babe was in the kitchen for most of the time we were there.

I kept wondering why serving us was taking too long.....on my way home my woman told me that my friend who did the hosting, his babe was stuck in the kitchen cos one of my guys present ( the one I mentioned earlier) doesn't eat swallow, so when she was done preparing for those of us who eat swallow, she had to prepare rice for him separately cos he doesn't eat swallow.


I was madly pissed angry. I told my woman that If 10,000 friends come to visit us, abeg serve everybody rice ; who no chop make he go chop for him house. Why should a woman spend all day in the kitchen all in the name of pleasing her man's friends?

One of the best things to eat. I dey mine without salt and it taste yummy. When next I'm getting to buy, I'm planning to pan sear it and let it caramelize perhaps, it will bring it the sweetness more.

Nothing beats a week fried route plantain with fried eggs sha ooo.
Hmmmm....I guess it's just like some people don't enjoy Pounded yam and amala with better soup (which are actually my favorite swallow). I think we all have that food item some consider the best but we can't even stand at all cheesy

I can’t believe you
As far back as I can remember I've not been a Plantain freak like that. In fact, I remember when I was in primary school and my mum usually dish our lunch right from home and also back it up with snacks.....There are days we will take beans to school and as most mothers think, she will add sizable amount of Plantain to beans any day she packs bean as my lunch.

I remember i usually eat the beans completely but keep most of the Plantain which I either throw away on my way home or leave in the food flask which she will see when washing it. She later explained to me that throwing away any food or allowing it to waste was not ideal, rather I should share with some classmates who may not have enough. From that day, my Plantain goes to my Gees; those we do "police and thief" together grin

Even when I use ojúkòkòrò buy Plantain at eateries sef, I go just eat a piece or two and leave the rest to waste cry

Buy half ripe, roast and eat with pepper sauce. It's like 30% sweetness.
It's not all plantain species I buy. There are two species in Nigerian markets that's not that sweet. Sellers know.

I hardly eat fried plantain too but my family are addicts grin. Prefer to roast and can stay without for months.
Even the roasted one called boli, I don't enjoy it. I guess I don't just like Plantain ; it's not my thing.

For dinner i made fried plantain with eggs.
I always find Plantain really colorful and inviting when I see other people fry/post/eat it.....but I don't know how they deal with the sweetness.

I find Plantain too sweet; just like cake I rarely eat it. Most times when I eat Plantain it's just to fulfill righteousness or tag along.

I don't know if it's just me but Plantain is too sweet for my taste bud....It's so bad that I can't even eat past ₦50 worth of Plantain when buy it on the streets ( buka level). Even when anybody celebrates at my place of work and we get served lunch, I mostly leave the Plantain on the fried or jollof rice untouched.

How una dey Enjoy Plantain?

Has anyone here eaten ofada rice before ?

I'm trying to buy some but they come in original and odor ofada. What does it means?

Bad odor or odor as in Jasmine rice ?

Akposy, cococandy, Mariangeles and all - please come help me understand.
Ofada rice makes sense; it's a specie of local rice just like Abakaliki rice, etc. The ones I do cook I buy them in the mall and they do come out well when cooked.

I don't seem to understand the part where u talked about it coming in "original and odor ofada", but ofada rice has a peculiar odor that is neither offensive nor bad. In fact the odor is one of the enticing features of the rice. The rice usually announces its presence anywhere tru it's peculiar scent.( I don't even know if referring to the aroma as odor, scent or smell is the right word to use sef)

See below picture of the one I cooked and posted here last time

Roland17:
I think you are getting the positions wrongs about this argument and I hope you see the difference.

Maybe I should speak for my self. I am not necessarily saying Ebening should have remained coach, I gave up by December after his first season. I pushed for his sack sef but I also knew Arteta shouldn’t have been the replacement.. Arteta was like from frying pan to fire and that is even dent with our current situation.

When Wenger left, I advocated for Allergri/ Enrique/ Nagglesman.. After Ebening, we should have been more strategic in his replacement. No one, at least for me is saying Ebening shouldn’t have been fired but replacing him with Arteta? That was horrible because Arteta is no where near Ebening..
Your position is very clear and it somehow aligns with mine on this matter. Your fears and mine is well documented here . At least below are excerpts of our individual opinions on Arteta's appointment

Roland17:
Arteta’s hiring is a very very risky gamble if you ask me.. One thing I have gathered post Wenger is that seasoned and successful managers don’t fancy the Arsenal job, they are not jostling to get the job and now I am left asking myself if Arteta was the only option?

I understand we spoke with Martinez, approached Nuno before ultimately decided to go with Arteta. I said this after his first game, Freddy did not seem ready for the position and I think that made the board even more desperate to hire a new manager. If Freddy held the forth with good results we probably would have been more detailed and patient in our search for a manager who can clean up this mess.

I desperately want a firm manager who can make difficult and bold decisions about our players and style of play..I blame the board for not preparing for post Wenger. They were busy hassling for shares and ownership that everyone forgot to prepare for post Wenger until the results became unbearable and fans stayed away from the stadium.

What style of play and leadership should we expect from Arteta? Would he thrive without Mompha’s kind of money his preceptor has enjoyed throughout his career? From what we saw in his playing days when he was captain and few situations in the dugout, he is quite withdrawn and not the vocal type but the impression from those close to him is that is intelligent and good at reading games. That being said, I am not a believer that loud and vocal translates into strong leadership but this squad of ours need total reorientation and it may take some tough conversations with the players.
BlueRayDick:
grin cheesy
This is a very big gamble the board is taking. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a certain Coach Thierry Henry. I mean coach Henry was so good sitting beside Martinez doing things until he collect his first job as head coach ó.

I no just buy all dis "he's favorite 3 years ago and still favorite today " yarns o.

Anyways let's see what he will do this January transfer window if he gets the job.
I didn't support the appointment of Arteta in the first place but had to get behind him in support because of the love for the club and whoever they have handed the club's affairs to. However, Inasmuch as Arteta has confirmed our fears, the last thing I will do is to tolerate Emery fan boys who want to try and rewrite the story and make it seem as if Emery was treated unfairly when he the got the sack letter he totally deserved.

By the way, oga spy360 Do u still hold this believe about our current squad or your position has changed?

Spy360:
All these talks about our players not good enough is itching me. Are we worse than Wolves, or Leicester or even Chelsea? It's bad results due to poor decisions that has brought us here. Poor management and coaching.
Forget, a decent manager can achieve much with this same team.

Jodera:
I dont agree with that bolded one bit at all. Maybe presently but never ever when emery was initially employed.
I mean we just finished 6th the previous season before he was employed and that was once in over 20yrs. How then are we a mid table team or a relegation looking team? Reason we employed Emery to take us back to the top(at least top4) since we saw him as an elite manager and not some mid table manager like Moyes or sort. Emery failed such task in his first season and looked far worse in his 2nd season and you want us to be happy because he took sevilla to b2b2b Europa? Wetin concern us with sevilla?.

Please, we still had hope of having top 4 reason why we employed Emery, he failed in it and that's fact. We left him till the 2nd season and he got worse, thus rightfully deserving the sack. Let us don't paint Emery as if he was one klopp or guardiola that guarantees standard top4 every season.
If u hear them talk about "Good Ebening" glowingly u will think he's some pep Guardiola reincarnate or something. The Spaniard Kadiri Ikana actually finished 7th in the La Liga in a season which Barca, Madrid and Sevilla with their aging squad were not in great form.....Yet na 7th Good Ebening carry.

The fact is even if u buy that guy the whole Dortmund team and their budding talents, the highest "Good Ebening" will get you is to win one cup competition and then maybe qualify for Europa the next season. He is a cup competition coach and won't get you far in the league. Like u rightly said, this man will win Europa with Sevilla, qualify for Champions league and still drop back to Europa ...... grin Isn't that some crazy shit? Funny enough he has qualified for Champions league tru Europa cup now, my eyes are certainly on him to see if his Leopard will change his spots next year.

Arteta as rookie manager won F.A cup in his first full season and was almost going to make another cup final before he outdid himself. I'm all for replacing Arteta if we get a top coach willing to take the job, but I will never agree a little patience from the fans would've turn around our fortune under "Good Ebening " ; that guy exhausted our patience and he got what was coming to him.
