Goal!

U are one of us ; but u dey disguise

Pablo Mari makes it 2-0 with an unmarked header

Mustafi ewuhausa missed a free header into a free post

Lacazette with a screamer!

1-0

It looks so good seeing the fans right back where they belong ; the stands.

Spy360:
How many times are we going to explain to google sports that Lacazette plays 10?

Google get coconut head, e no dey hear word

Pablo Mari is back ....so is broda Kola

I was expecting to see a video of the two suspects at the same location with the guns placed on the table.....not a video of Frank MBA speaking his usual useless English doing unnecessary shalaye.

This post didn't disprove that it was a photoshopped video of u ask me.

Very well said. No context whatsoever. I could have written a better article while playing PS4.

Why did Murtala retrench civil servants? He does not say.

Exactly how did this retrenchment lead to institutional corruption? He does not say.

No real mention of the oil boom.
No mention of the Udoji awards.
No mention of the proliferation of white elephant projects and other arbitrary and unnecessary contracts.
No mention of the size and state of the civil service at that time compared to other employers of labor.

I am not a Murtala apologist by any stretch but alleging that corruption started with him is ridiculous.

The guy no try at all. The painful part is he was unable to link the rentrebchment to institutionalizing corruption.

It's more like he's justifying people stealing because people felt their pension/gratuities won't be paid after retirement. It's even more worrisome that he's trying to pin agelong corruption issue in Nigeria to someone who ruled the country for less than a year.

afrodoc2:
It is just not true. There was serious corruption in the civil service already especially in the Gowon regime.

That article lies somewhere between an outright lie and a rewriting of history.

In terms of the deification of Murtala that is only for those who believe anyone is perfect.

His actions during the Civil war and even the 1966 counter-coup have nothing to do with the supposed subject matter actually. This is why the article appears more to be an attempt to malign Murtala than any explanation of the origin of institutional corruption in Nigeria.

Exactly my thought

afrodoc2:
Poorly written article claiming not to be spitting on Murtala’s grave but going ahead to do just that.

It was not a balanced article as it touched on a number of his negatives but no positives and did not give any context to anything.

Institutional corruption did not start because Murtala sacked en masse.

Murtala sacked en masse because of institutional corruption.

If you want to know how corruption started in Nigeria you have to go back further to the First Republic and probably more crucially to Gowon’s 9 year rule.

The article died the moment the writer tried to sneaked in the Asaba 1967 Massacre story into the article. That very part of the article tears to tatters his claim of : "This is not a #HistoryClass to whitewash the legacy of Murtala Mohammed. Neither is it one to spit on his grave. "

The Cheta guy's bias didn't allow him do justice to a very good topic. He could've avoided the Asaba massacre story not to sound as someone who is stilled bittered by the alleged attrocities that happened in the war; some of which fingers point at Gowon, Murtala and other soldiers.

That aside, i think he could've done better by educating us on if truly civil servants back then we're. were incompetent, if they were involved in malpractice, falsified their ages, etc as claimed by Murtala. He should've balanced things by pointing at sources to either confirm the reason Murtala gave for their dismissals or otherwise. It is only after that we can argue whether the punishment of summary dismissal is a case of killing a cockroach with a pestle or a justified decision.

I agree with you what he did there is a lazy piece of journalistic work. Mr. Obimgbo he refrenced in the article could've been a civil servant who was getting paid doing nothing like we have so many people in Alausa today ( I actually have a friend there doing same)

Auba’s body language has been very bad. He looks indifferent and unconcerned even with his efforts.

Honestly; he’s playing like he’s Messi that was forced to stay at Barca against his own wish

Xhaka is just useless

I'm telling you. We miss the guy badly. His shooting drill was impressive too.

Yes it was....I just hope he comes back better, I don't want him to go the way of other youngsters who showed impressive stats at the at the beginning of their arsenal career before everything went down south

Starters - Goat meat Peppersoup
Main dish - Gizdodo with fried rice, and coleslaw
dessert - frozen yoghurt and cake.

for snacks you can bake meatpie. it does not require much kneading since it is a short crust pastry.

Thank you. The inky thing I Will try there is the goat meat pepper soup.

The gizdodo, coleslaw, cake, etc are too sweet for me. I get tired of sweet things easily; even when I eat out and buy salad/coleslaw on my food I seldom finish it.

Hathor5:


Beautiful picture.

Late thanksgiving

I will take the champagne and chicken.

BlueAngel444:
other sports dey way dey still cause brain damage, NFL, Rugby, hockey, etc even car racing if accident happen. D best na to be tennis, or computer game tester

Those sports u mentioned have a goal other than inflicting bodily injury on your opponent to either make him passout or submit to your superior firepower. Boxing on the other hand is fixated on that.

43 farmers massacred in Jere LG of Borno by BH, please spare a thought for the victims.

May their soul rest in peace.

Until the north embraces education as a tool to rid young northerners of fanaticism I'm afraid such barbaric acts may keep reoccurring in the future.

I mean a northerner who is educated, has access to the Internet and knowledgeable enough to sieve the information he gathers will know countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc did not become the beautiful tourist destinations they are today by declaring war on anybody that doesn't pray to the same direction they do and throwing bombs upandan destroying their cities and killing their people.

Without education anybody can point at a verse of any holy book, use it to justify his selfish intentions and even recruit you while doing so( just as boko haram has been doing recruiting young boys in the north east ; which is why despite the army killing them they keep multiplying)

I don't even want to talk about the Hisbah and their recent escapades in the northwest that smirks of financial/economic illetracy.

afrodoc2:
It is the sweet science. The art of hitting and not getting hit. Not everybody takes much punishment e.g early Pernell Whitaker, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Money Mayweather.

Then they are those who take heavy punishment and don’t really suffer from it due to their olumo rock heads. A good example is Marvin Hagler.

Ali was just unlucky that he fought past his prime in a samurai era if not he would have been fine. Most of the damage came later in his career when he should not have been fighting.

Well, maybe not everybody gets their brain fried from the punches being thrown, but it's the violence I detest. Seeing someone almost being blinded and still throwing punch.....seeing blood dripping from an almost closed eye, burst lip and even get thrown off the canvass with a massive punch to the jaw makes me cringe.

Wahala for who paid PPV for Tyson-Jones fight.

@nihilistjnr see below.

Once a Frank Warrens hype job fighter is involved, if you don't win a round clearly, they will give it to his fighter. Money talks.

Boxing is one of the sports I dislike the most. I don’t understand how adults will risk brain damage trying to earn some money seeing who gets to surrender first.

Seeing the state someone like Muhammed Ali was reduced to after retirement makes me not even like the sport more.

Una wey dey watch the sport dey try . Ordinary leg break for football like Andre Gomes’ back then do me somehow for body o

I need suggestions for something special to cook during the hols this December. This year 2020 had been a very rough year; the year almost showed us shege but we survived . It is only normal for one to be appreciative and give himself/herself some treat .

Any food suggestion and recipe will be appreciated. NB : I’m not a fan of ogbono, and gbegiri..... and I’m not patient enough to knead dough to bake

iamoyindamola:
Missed this guy

We seriously miss him

mostob:
He looked sharp in training yesterday. Saka,Mo,Willy and Ozil all trained.

I hope he comes back better . We’ve missed his pace and raw talent upfront
