Recipe? grin
1. Cut Ur veggies into desired sizes before starting to cook anything. I diced the carrot, cut the green and yellow pepper in slant shapes and the onions was diced as well. Then grate the two pieces of rodo and one big tomato and keep aside

2. I added 2 small indomie noodles to a boiling water and allowed to cook for 2 minutes. I drained the water and rinse the soft noodles with cold water before keeping aside.

3. While watching some YouTube videos In the course of the week, I suddenly realized the secret of most of these food bloggers getting their food cooked right.....while we cook ours and it doesn't come out the same way despite following same procedure. I realized the secret is sometimes in the type of pot/frying pan they use. Almost all of them use non sticky fry pan/ pots which allows their food to cook or fry as long as they want without it getting burnt unnecessarily.

3. So I bought a non sticky fry pan yesterday while I went shopping( At least just to give my theory a trial and see if it holds true

4. Back to my recipe jare grin. So I heated my non sticky fry pan and added about 2 table spoon of vegetable oil. After the oil was hot enough I added diced onions and carrot to fry a bit while stirring it on fire. While doing this I had to slow down the heat of the cooker to allow the carrot fry a bit( I don't like carrot when it is too crunchy in a meal

5. When the carrot and onions had fried for about 3 minutes I added the green pepper, yellow pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder and the noodles' seasoning. I continued to stir in order to allow the pepper fry a bit.

6. Then I added my already grated rodo and tomatoes to the mix and stirred for another 2 minutes before adding my Parboiled noodles.

7. I continued stirring and ensured the veggies were properly mixed with the noodles.

8. When the spirit of my ancestors ministered to me saying : " my son, it is done", I took it off fire and it was ready to serve grin

NOTE: The none sticky fry pan came in really handy. It didn't force me to use so much oil like I normally would do with the normal pot/fry pan and yet I will still be scared of it getting burnt.
Not one strain of the noodle was left attached to the bottom of the pan because I was stirring on fire.

I don't think his bio matters here even pep guardiola was a gamble and he did well.
Maradona's bio doesn't matter keh? Bro why?

1. You said Messi should have helped Maradona's Argentina if he indeed helped Guardiola's barca.

2. I showed u Maradona's history as a coach. As far as coaching concerned Maradona failed everywhere. It is visible to any neutral person. He failed as a coach at the club level before being a bigger failure at the national level . Only a country like Nigeria would've appointed Maradona head coach with his unimpressive stats.

3. Tho Barca gambled appointing Pep( Almost all coaches' appointments are gamble anyway), but it was a reasonable gamble. He had just won Barca B promotion playing some good football and his team scoring a handful of goals.

4.Even the 2010 world cup most people taunt messi with, he played under Maradona and was deployed as a playmaker and not a roaming forward.

No disrespect to Messi whatsoever.
Maradona's Argentina?

Do u honestly think Maradona was a coach?

See below Maradona's bio as a coach both at club level and international level.In all honesty tell me if u believe IL Fenomeno would've helped olórí burúkú Maradona in any way better than Messi had done

Maradona actually has Messi to thank for taking a team he supposedly coached to the world cup and even winning matches at the world cup sef.

It's hard to choose who is naturally talented between Messi and Ronaldo delima but I go with the latter cus I believe Barcelona kind of play makes it easier for players to excel.Ronaldo Delima under pep guardiola could have been something else.
I'm sure u know the almighty Guardiola confirmed this success u are talking about are attributable to him working with "Messi and the lads"

Guardiola would've ended up as that new barca coach; at 61 yet to a cup, liked for his fancy style of play but nothing to show for it.

Messi made that Guardiola Barca complete.

Now I can accept this kind of argument. R9 had similar level talent to Messi but injuries derailed him.

R9 gets his respect and we keep it moving.

But I can't accept that Ronaldo was more talented than Messi. The numbers that Messi has done are too absurd to permit such.
Exactly my stand on this. Based on what actually happened and not "what if" & "Kanipe" There's no indicator that Ronaldo was more talented of the two. I won't base my judgement on "If Ronaldo was not injured theory".....

Ordinarily one would've thought that the Torres that played for Loserpool was on the rise and was going to tear more nets going forward. We all know how the story ended

Agreed! Then let messi outperform him in world cup.
Well, let's just say they are even.

Messi has outperformed Lima in club competitions in every possible way.

Lima has outperformed Messi at the national team level.

I guess it's left for individual fans to pick whom they prefer as their own choice

No disrespect to messi but I'm going to pick de lima bro.

Tbh... even with the referees protection on footballers that we now have, and him not going on three years severe injury without active football he's yet to produce or do something tangible in the world cup. So, why do you want him rated higher?
Well like I said earlier, I rate Messi higher based on what he's done on the pitch so far compared to what Ronaldo did. I'm not basing it on what could've been.

The issue of injuries have been overflogged on this thread a la Neymar. If we want to start taking injuries into perspective, we could start pushing the narrative that Neymar should've won the World cup and all of he wasn't getting injured at crucial times. I'm not a fan of this line of thought.

Messi for one knows how to evade tackles; he's fast that way. See below video collection of his dribbles against Madrid. It was almost like he dribbles them the same way every time ; one would think they would've studied past question, but messi being messi he keeps doing it

The Nigerian factor “might” come into play.

One thing I have always wondered is the low level of project monitoring in this country. It gives room for a lot of public officer to do as they like.
That is the problem. It's a general problem ; majority of Nigerians are corrupt. That is why most people believe Buhari's anti-corruption crusade will not yield much result because he's tackling the problem from the top instead of the root.

Corruption is something Nigerians learn from a tender age. By the time u are a teenager u already understand the saying "nothing goes for nothing"...Everybody wants to use their position to make something on the side for themselves.

Even the people who are supposed to be in charge of monitoring get bribed and look the other way sef. U know these same education officers and teachers are the ones that go for external invigilation during SSCE exams. Once they get served "Mr Biggs" and soft drink with an envelope to take home as "Thanks for coming", they look away and let students and teachers go about their exam malpractice in "peace" grin

I asked you the previous question because I saw you post this below:



I'm not going to belittle messi's ability or achievements in anyway, but claiming de Limas ability is over hyped won't cut it bro. You're talking about a guy who literally that represented Brazil 98 times, scoring 62 goals, including 15 of those in the FIFA World Cup. If I am not mistaken De lima became the world cup highest goal after a career ending injury, after being overweight, ruled out by many people and declared finished by some.

P:S - De lima did all what he did without any form of protection from the referees. Also note that I've not taken anything away from messi. But you can't erase de limas exploits bro...theres a reason why theres still a special buzz about him.
I'm also not taking anything away from Lima. The reason why I said what I said was based on the crux of the whole discuss; "who is more talented between Messi and Lima"


I believe the talent we are referring to is Natural ability and skill displayed as a footballer.

It is not about what could've been or kanipe kanipe.

When I say people are overhyping Ronaldo's natural talent, I'm not saying Ronaldo is not the great player he was, I'm only saying they are deliberately looking down on messi for not winning a cup with his national team( Which has absolutely nothing to do with his talent)

As a talented footballer, messi has scored crazy goals, he's scored cheeky goals, he's made the best defenders look like fools, he's dragged his team from a losing position to winning with margin, he has pace, places the ball quite well beyond the reach of goal keepers....etc. Messi combines a whole lot of attributes of different top players.

I'm not taking anything away from Lima as well

Delima was great but No one has more natural talent than messi..
Unless that person must be an alien
Exactly!

Everybody saying De Lima is more talented have refused to do a list of these talents and compare it to messi's.

Messi is out of this world. Himself and C Ronaldo were literally sharing WPOTY between themselves for 10 years. They were setting records and breaking it. Messi did a lot of crazy things in between.

From what I understand about the whole issue, The initiative is from the NHGSFP (National Home Grown School Feeding Program).

Each public primary school in all the states under the NHGSFP are the beneficiaries. NHGSFP is aliasing with each state education board since they are the one in charge of primary education in their state. Each pupil has their records with the State Education Board, so pupils address will be gotten from there. Because schools are closed, instead of cooked food, NHGSFP is providing food items to each home that has a registered primary school student.

Lagos State own is starting today, here is from the Lagos State Twitter handle:

https://twitter.com/followlasg/status/1261171901306716160?s=21[/quote]This makes sense if it is done properly as explained

Hopefully those staff of SUBEB won't hijack it and only share to few pupils' homes.

I think DeLima is the better goal scorer while Messi is a better passer of the ball.

Both players are great dribblers but I’ll pick DeLima over Messi here. For one, a good number of times DeLima squares up against like 2,3 or 4 defenders alone with no teammates to distract them. That’s like a suicide mission in those days.

Most of Messi’s dribbles are done with his teammates moving into dangerous positions. This helps distract the opposition. Plus tackles aren’t flying everywhere.

This doesn’t take anything from Messi though. He’s a fantastic dribbler and a superior team player to R9. The other guy is massive as well.
What makes De Lima a better goal scorer? I'm sure u've seen messi score a lob ball over the head of goalkeepers, he's scored serious placing goals, enough R2 to last for a life time.....Honestly I believe most people overhype this Ronaldo Lima ability.

While I can't lay claim to watching all De Lima's games and resultant goals, there are enough videos of such games all over the internet which we've seen. He's definitely one of the best during his time but I think most people giving him a pass ahead of Messi are doing that cos of the "what could've been" syndrome.

It's more like my old man and some other elderly people I know saying Nigeria could've been better than this if Awolowo had been given the chance to rule Nigeria. They base this on what he was able to achieve as the premier of Western region. These are assumptions and not reality.

Messi has shown he can dribble past defenders really well, he can break records by scoring hat tricks like pure water, he can pass the ball really well, he can score free kicks etc. I doubt if there is any living player that can do all these as much as messi does

I think the problem is most people fixate on his goals... They don't look at other areas of his game...

IIf they did, they would understand that for a single player to combine all those aspects of the game seamlessly is nothing short of genius.

Hazard has a cult following here because of his ability to take on players

Augers is an epl legend because of his scoring prowess

De Bruyne is considered one of the best in the world mainly because of his passing ability

Then for one person to combine all that and even do each of them more effectively is otherworldly
Messi that scores as much as Ronaldo does
Messi that has unique passing ability that picks players out anywhere
Messi that dribbles and maintains ball balance on high speed
He even plays freekick so well.

I believe those People claiming Ronaldo Lima is more talented really need to walk us tru what it means to be “talented” as a footballer and what makes a player more talented than the other, because I can see a whole lot of things Messi can do and some other players(like Ronaldo Lima) cannot combine and do.
