Rice with the last Dutch defending saved us there.

mostob:
omo.. I was not expecting it

I didn't see it coming at all.

Ọmọ burúku lọ́jọ́ tiẹ̀ 😂

Who would've thought Madueke will fire us up when we needed it most?

My wife shout : “ Maduekeeee! He fired that kind of shot ? Impossible ! “ 😂😂😂

Rice should be scoring that abeg .We need to be converting those chances instead of crying about lack of creativity

We need Timber in this game instead of White. White offers little or no threat on the offensive

afrodoc2:
That Bosun guy just wanted a propaganda piece. Announce project and people will be shouting "Odogwu", "Baba niyen", and 'Ranka dede sir".

His expectations were dashed and he goes on blocking the first person to criticize him and his project .

afrodoc2:
It was a public post, and the criticism and response should also be public so that other Nigerians can make meaningful contributions or suggestions.

Thank you o.

How’s that hard for anyone to see ?

The minister was just being irresponsible by blocking him.

I would understand if the guy was being an irritant by lacing his reply with insult , but the guy did not .

GloriousGbola:
No matter what solution is put forth, you will knock it. Since that is how you 'hold politicians accountable'.

Better to do nothing. Wait if the govt does nothing, you will still cuss them out!

Your MO is to downplay any callout of the current APC led FG no matter how genuine the concern may be .

Keep it up . The upcoming generation will be proud of you . 👍

After the first day of the launch, the IPO was oversubscribed by 80%. Just Day 1.

By now, it should be up to 400%

People should be wary of this man, to be honest

Dangote knows what he’s doing 😁

They really want low income earners to be neck deep into the whole stuff.

One would think that if had been oversubscribed as they claimed , why the unnecessary spending on adverts and promotion ?

I just hope the dip won’t kill a lot of Nigerians when it eventually happens post-IPO

GloriousGbola:
Meaningless negativity on a public forum is not demanding accountability. It is performative posturing for likes.

And anyone can do it. You do not have to be a 'project coordinator' to be able to note that theft is a risk. Are you not the one who was clowning on the federal govt for engaging the community to secure manholes and fence for the coastal road the other day?

So do you actually have any solutions other than APC govt bad?

If bosun responded that nscdc and community would protect the assets you would still have responded the way you did that time.

Even you know that Bosun has no reasonable answer to the concern raised , that’s why you are willing to off your cloth and defend Bosun’s fooolish course of action in this matter .

Umahi came up with a fooolish idea of appointing 40 highway guards to protect the coastal road and I pointed it out that it was an extremely fooolish idea that won’t achieve the stated goal .

Few months after I made the post , the same Umahi threatened to close access to the road because the same goal set by appointing the marshals/guards have not been achieved .

You may call it clowning , but some of us see through bullshiiit of politicians right from the onset and we won’t hesitate to call it out . Calling us names won’t even deter us from calling bullshiiit for what it is .

izzou:
Lol.

I don't know about Nigeria, but Tinubu himself is well aware that his 2027 outing in the SE would be worse than 2023. Unless there's the usual....

And that is why all the SE politicians are tearing down Obi at any slightest opportunity; even more than any Zone. It's because they know he cannot pick anything there.

I saw the commissioning of the rehabilitated First Niger bridge and one of the musicians who played and wore APC T shirt was asked if he would vote Tinubu. He said No.

I don't blame them. If not force, nobody would attend any rally, and they know.

Make Keke people endure, and use their finger where necessary in 2027

I just feel some of those governors don’t need all the nonsense they are doing in the name of sycophancy.

They can support Tinubu’s reelection without oppressing their own people . At least those of them in APC can mobilize their party supporters to rally for them and Tinubu without necessarily subjecting the neutrals and opposition party members to kowtowing at their behest .

GloriousGbola:
We had townhall meetings once a month. I am sure you do as well. Sometimes you have captain obvious - people who want to be seen as smart who start pointing out problems without proferring solutions.

If this guy had been like - this is a great initiative but we had these issues when we implemented and this is how we solved them - that is engagement.

Any jackass can point out problems
Is the project coordinator saying anything we don't know already?

Or in your own office do you hail people who talk about problems without proferring solutions as speaking truth to power?

Why did u keep asking about private organizations while the matter involves a public servant who blocked a tax payer for raising a genuine concern on the minister’s official social media account ? Nothing concern me with what you do in your private organization .

Do you have a problem with public servant being held accountable and providing clarifications on the same platform they used in making announcement about government projects ?

This was the same way people raised concerns about NNPC refinery , Nigeria Air and other government programs/projects that were ignored till they became what they are today .

This idea of people like you always talking down on people who have genuine concerns about government projects and programs needs to stop . No nation will grow if people like you are always supporting public servants to evade public scrutiny .

GloriousGbola:
Being told by someone about what he already knows. You think Bosun, who has direct access to executives in all of Nigeria's telcos is not aware of these issues already? When your own bosses discuss projects in public have you not already gone through the who risk assessment and stakeholder management and multiple project reviews?

The cropped part of the tweet is what is most relevant.

Bosun has politely told him off and moved on.

Or maybe you expect bosun to talk about strategy to counter Bandits and thieves in a public space where same thieves are also present

Blocking a citizen as a public servant = politely telling him off in your books ?

I don’t even know what to say to you .

On this very thread we had extensive discussions about citizens holding their leaders accountable .

All that guy has done is constructive criticism ; there’s no how u want to spin his original post that it will make sense to a reasonable and objective person that the post was out of ill intentions .

You are an expert at false equivalence . In case you don’t know , a public servant actually owes members of the public explanation on policies and programs of government . If not, Bosun would not even make the initial post .

The cropped screenshot u posted was courtesy of Bosun’s fooolish decision to block someone raising a genuine concern . Don’t make it seem like the guy made the post after Bosun’s reckless decision .

GloriousGbola:
Bosun is not mandated to answer everyone who calls him out on social media - and choosing to block a person rather than engage in a debate that will go nowhere is not the power trip you think it is

you also do not know if they have a previous history

it is not as if 90% of the call outs on this platform are in good faith and not just political agenda

Like u are saying u read the guy’s reply to Bosun’s post and u think the best course of action is for Bosun to Block him right ?

Omo !

No further words for you sir .

Better2morrow:
Losers will always explain, while we keep celebrating. If Arsenal wins the PL this season they will abandon setpiece agenda and start talking about how VAR is helping us win. That is the next agenda I am predicting will be said against us lol.

I just tire . Some of them have repeated the lies to themselves so much that they believe it .

He claimed it’s because we scored tonnes of goals through pushing & shoving opponents during set pieces that’s why we won the league . Oya make he show us those set piece goals he believe should’ve been ruled out as fouls , he kept repeating GW1 like a broken record .

As if na GW1 score line alone we used win the league .

Governors are now forcing citizens to campaign for Tinubu’s reelection or face harassment in their respective states?

This is the Democracy that is better than military rule o

If your husband or brother is a Keke Rider in Enugu and he’s not yet back home, he might have been arrested by Peter Mbah’s boys. All the people that refused to attend Tinubu and Peter Mbah’s one
Million man match were harassed and arrested.

Peter Mbah and APC has imported… https://t.co/LVj7bpuvhX pic.twitter.com/c5cvo6hAft

GloriousGbola:
a lesson i am sure you learnt at work - it is easier and more productive to correct or call out the boss in private rather than in public. this could have started with a DM. you are assuming the guy is acting in good faith and not just looking to embarrass or chase clout.

yes you can argue that Bosun is a public servant, but that does not mean he has to engage everyone who messages him in a public space.

in any event - mission accomplished. another opportunity to gnash teeth about the evil and devilish apc.

engaging him would likely not have made much difference

This does not even make any sense to me .

He should enter a public servant’s DM to discuss with him .

What manner of false equivalence is this ? Is Bosun Tijani the guy’s boss or a public servant who owes the public an explanation about the genuine concerns the guy raised about the project ?

Bosun Tijani announced the project in public and it only makes sense that any citizen who has genuine concern should arise such concerns in public!

Whether the guy question was in good faith or bad faith is immaterial . There’s no insult in what that guy posted . That was an opportunity for the minister to talk about measures they’ve put in place to make sure the project becomes a success during implementation phase .

It’s just useless arrogance and ego tripping that made Bosun react that way . There’s absolute no justification for it .

I still don’t understand the logic behind Public servants and government appointees blocking citizens on social media simply because they shared a different view or criticize their work .

Pic 1- Bosun Tijani (A minister of the federal republic of Nigeria ) announcing a project being overseen by his ministry under the current APC government .

Pic 2– An experienced project manager pointing out the challenges to be expected from the project during implementation phase, and asking what the FG would do different from what private entities like MTN, HUAWEI , etc . did in the past .

Pic 3 & 4 - The minister thinks the best course of action is to block a citizen who raised a genuine concern , instead of engaging in a meaningful dialogue .



Which manner of useless ego is that ?

StarchAndBanga:
You’ve turned the whole discourse to us vs them.. Na wa

In ur opinion Arsenal did not impede goalkeepers during corners last season ba? The goal Calafiori scored in GW1 last season was a legit goal that should have been allowed to stand in this era of VAR

I’ve showed you video compilation of 24 set piece goals scored by Arsenal . Let’s say you didn’t watch all Arsenal matches , at least go through the video compilation and tell us the goals that involved impeding goalkeeper other than GW1 you keep repeating .

Abi na GW1 goal be the only basis of your entire agenda ?

The goals Saliba and Timber scored vs Chelsea that were set piece goals , did we also impede you goalkeeper ? Is it also shitty English refs/VAR that refused to rule those goals out as foul ?

mostob:
As una dey talk this thing, shame no dey catch una?
I watched a villa player hug Ramsdale while Douglas Luiz scored from corner.

This was Jacket in MD1 this season.
You people wallow in hypocrisy that stinks so bad.

He’s just a typical rival fan yet to live with the reality that Arsenal would no longer allow themselves to be bullied into defeat .

We beat them last season in as many times as possible scoring set piece goals they had no answers for . Just a typical bad workman blaming his tools.

StarchAndBanga:
U are Arsenal fan so I’m not surprised by this ur reply. The very first goal Arsenal scored last season set the tone for Arteta’s corner tactics last season



Premier league refs are incompetent so miss me with the VAR, 2026 balderdash. In the UCL u guys were penalized for impeding gk during corners but that was not the case in the PL last season

PL referees turned a blind eye to impeding the goalkeeper during corners last season, that’s fact. This season such acts are called as foul so Arteta as a smart coach has reduced his reliance on corners as last season corner tactics won’t work this season

Last season we all witnessed is what u guys are trying to rewrite… LOL

You are just being clever by half . You mentioned how we were penalized for impeding a GK in the EPL , but the same you suddenly have memory loss we scored set piece goals in the same Champions league not once , not twice . I even made it easy for you by attaching the video of all goals we scored via set piece showing our goals vs Bayern , Inter , etc , but your agenda-driven bias would not allow u see those ones .

Show us the goals that were fouls that the premier league refs turned their blind eyes to.

Last season we beat Chelsea silly asss 2-1 scoring 2 set piece goals.

Show me the foul in the two goals or keep ur mouth shut forever !

StarchAndBanga:
Teams have been scoring from corners since forever. Corner kicks are part of the game

It’s the pushing and shoving goalkeepers antics u guys used last season that led to criticism.

Last season we all witnessed is what u guys are trying to rewrite. Na wa

Some of you rival fans have repeated this rubbish in bold to yourselves so much that you believe the falsity .

Arsenal scored 24 set piece goals across all competitions last season . You can’t even show me 5 of those goals that were controversial . Almost all the goals either have the opposition goalkeeper finding himself in no man’s land , their defenders going unnecessarily soft or their defenders utterly useless in defending set piece .

This is 2026 ; almost all top clubs employ set piece coach to help them attack and defend set pieces . If your club set piece coach is not delivering his polling unit and Arsenal scored you without the ref/VAR ruling the goal out , you should blame your club management and not Arsenal .

I no even understand again sef,I came here to read strong epl,european football arguments.
Instead na politics, accident,criminals and flying car I day see, this thread na for flying car abi na for epl discussions, abeg change the name if na general thread.
Before I go. up chelsea ktbffh.

Maybe you should go back to page 1 and read the first post on this thread .

Even the owner of Nairaland and his mods dey come to read the discussions(sometimes they join in the discussion sef ) and dem no dey complain .

swiz123:
Is Chelsea dragging anything with Arsenal or your bad belle no gree you rest?

Una no wan win league again ?

diggz:
Which kind wicked mind you get laidis?

If you look well well with ur spiritual eyes , u will see say red card for happen for this match with the way the pressure dey build up .

As a rival fan , I will wish Chelsea cop the red card

Bluelines69:
Acheampong and Neto both on yellow against Grealish, one of them must come out

If Alonso ignore the signs , he will see wonders .

If Graelish really bring his A-game , Achempong should get a second yellow before 60 minutes .

Police Report clearing the Portuguese

User09:
I'm sorry but I'm not seeing the correlation here.

Isnt it easier to just go after the truck driver/company in Portugal?

Lawyer friend is letting emotions do his argument for him

I think the lawyer friend is just trying to use his profession as a lawyer to see if they shake down Dangote and get financial support for the guy’s family .

He mentioned how the guy’s wife is seriously ill and the kids require financial support .

raumdeuter:
That case is a stretch a big stretch I think they saw Dangote is going international and they want to hold his blokus while they can no matter how frivolous

Dangote didnt renew his contract and they somehow arrested him,
he got another job which he lost
then relocated to Portugal and was knocked down by a truck while riding a bike

His accident was not as a result of any other thing in his life before meeting Dangote, was not as a result of getting fired by the other company, not by anything wey happen since he got to Portugal and not that he got distracted thinking about Dangoe(Not GF wey leave am or FC Porto losing to Benfica) while riding bike or the truck driver being reckless. Na that Dangote issue gangan!!

I can also trace the sapa wey dey catch me today to the insult wey one girl give me for Primary 5 wey affect my mental health anytime I think about it. Especially since I found out the girl is a big Madam now and married to A billionaire

Of course it’s a stretch . There’s no direct relationship between the guy’s death and his former job at Dangote .

What he should’ve done while alive was to sue Dangote for false imprisonment either while he was in Nigeria or immediately he got back to Portugal .
