Clear rage bait since Chidera did not do any trial to go to Sevilla but was already an established professional in Europe before he signed from CSKA Moscow
So the guy was just looking for attention I guess.

There is entitlement but if this story is true, there is something extra. Deep seated envy.

They both went for trials. He dribbled the entire defence and was not picked while his friend that scored a tap in was picked. That is the narrative that he has planted and germinated in his own mind. There is nothing that guy can do for him that will satisfy him, apart from flopping in Europe.
GBAM!

The only thing that will make him really satisfied is if His "friend" falls out of favour with his club in Europe, becomes a free agent and ends up playing for a mid-table NPFL team. Then he will tell anyone that cares to listen about his friend neglected him after making it, but his head was too strong, that's why his friend suffered misfortune.

You are underestimating the entitlement in our people
The thing shock me.

He chatted someone that was picked ahead of you during a trial years after and that one press him N7m willingly . He still dey ask "wetin N7m wan do for me? " shocked

Omo people get entitlement mentality o. It's not even like na him sponsor the guy go the trials, so we can't say that one owes him.

I just don't want to believe the story is true sha.

It seems NNPC is trying to get end users to opt into using its app.
A quick question: Why is the Nigerian minister for Finance announcing a N66 promotional discount being offered by NNPC retail(A supposed Limited Liability Company) ?

This one go be A marvelous engineering

grin grin grin grin

That money they poured from Lagos to Ogun state, would have fixed few horrible roads in Nigeria from start to finish.

Ndi Wonderful Engineering
It's just unfortunate. They know if they decide to fix the existing bad roads instead of starting a phantom project, they won't have enough to steal.

The people that amuse me most in all of these are the regular everyday Nigerians who actually took it upon themselves to defend the white elephant project. They thought those who asked questions hated Nigeria , but they loved Nigeria most.

In Lioness Season 3 episode 5, people like that were referred to as "useful ediots"
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 10:02am On Oct 12
Can any APC supporter tell us what will happen to the proposed rail line they intend to build alongside the Coastal highway? Will it also "detour inward" alongside the road ?

The crazy thing about this white elephant project is that even people who are trained engineers but APC supporters thought there’s nothing wrong with Umahi not providing clarity on status of ESIA for the whole project .

They even insulted the AeiseTV reporter back then and classified her question about the ESIA as opposition journalism .

Today Umahi is telling us they found out issues with the soil structure of some parts of the coastal road’s original route .

It’s just a shame that even as the matter Dey like this , they will likely still attempt to do damage control trying to explain the mess up away

Duke spilled the beans when he spoke of the land reclamation going on across the coastal road.
That I think is the major reason behind the coastal road.......Real Estate appreciation and development.
I recollect the beef between Tinubu and Sanwo early this year due to quick and unapproved estates/land approvals along that axis.
Eventually most approvals were recalled/suspended probably because they didn't go through the God father himself.
Omo ! Now that you mentioned it ,looks like the biggest winners in this whole coastal road project will be the real estate developers and people in government giving out approval for property development along that axis .

They are definitely going to make a new set of billionaires amongst themselves considering the estates and people’s ancestral lands they took over all in the name of developing the coastal road . Chai !

Umahi ain't resigning anything. This was always the likely outcome and partly planned from the start with a degree of certainty. Tinubu is the one who sells the vision, both Tinubu and Umahi know the feasibility is low. But it's easier to sell a coastal road that develops the whole South than tell people you want to develop Lagos and Ogun coast only. City boy is not just a name, Tinubu is Lagos centric.
You know the game . Some of their supporters who are smart know the game too, but dem no really care .

This is just Tinubu’s version of Buhari building a useless railway to Maradi; a rail line that passes through Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states .

Omor...would be super crazy if this outcome was designed from the inception of the project.
The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment report they eventually relased released 3 months ago for the Coastal project only covered 2 phases of the project ; Ahmadu bello way VI to Eleko (47.5km ) and Eleko to Ode-Omi; Lagos-Ogun boarder (55.5km).

Isn’t it strange that for a 700km project , they only released ESIA report for less than 15% of the project ?

These people knew what they were doing from onset , they only succeeded in making a foool out of their blind supporters and apologists . We go school and we can put 1 and 2 together .

The coastal road was supposed to be Tinubu's marquee project.

As much of a hater I am of the man and his party, I'm saddened by the level of incompetence.
It’s not incompetence , it’s a deliberate attempt at diverting funds. Make no mistake about that !
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 7:10pm On Oct 11
When we said the Tinubu led government should just focus on repairing the East-West road instead of embarking on the white elephant project called Coastal road , they said we are being bitter .

Tell me why the same government is suggesting the coastal road will not go through the coast after Ogun state but would instead detour inward through Edo state to join the existing East-West road?

Shame supposed catch APC supporters and everyone that has ever defended this money laundering project .🤮

Half? Lol

Cement is just one arm of Dangote, and that's the only place you'll see independent contractors, because the demand is high.

There's Salt, Sugar, even limestone sef. All these ones na Dangote.

He bought 5000 trucks for refinery alone. All na under Dangote.

He has the largest fleet of trucks in Nigeria.
I’m obviously not arguing against your point that Dangote carries some products by himself .

I am basically saying Dangote does a mixture of self-carrying and subcontracting logistics arm of his business .

Majority of manufacturers who have seen shege of the Nigerian system have decided to subcontract haulage/logistics to 3rd party logistics companies .
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 2:04pm On Oct 11

Dangote carries his goods by himself. He has a company specially for that; Dangote Transport.

Multipro Enterprises, the makers of Indomie and Hypo are the owners of BHN. Na BHN dey carry their load

Nigerian Bottling Company (CocaCola), are also the owners of AG Leventis. Na those ones dey carry Coke up and down

Many of them have mastered the art of separating the Logistics from the Production.

But you are correct that many outsource it to others
It depends on the Dangote arm of business u are talking about tho. I know quite a number of people who carry cement for Dangote Cement and they are independent logistics companies . There’s a reason why Dangote always issue disclaimer when they say “ Dangote truck kills 5 people at Obajana”.

What usually happens in that instant is that a certain “ Jesu Seun enterprise “ is carrying Dangote products out of Obajana cement plant , then the driver crushes a car and 2 bike men . While the truck may have Dangote logo attached , it’s not in the record of fleet of trucks belonging to Dangote logistics .

I agree with you that there’s a company called Dangote transport company, but they don’t even oversee half of trucks carting the Dangote logo .

Do you know if the logistics company also further subcontract to individuals

As in will TSL use their money to buy a fleet of 100 trucks or just crowdsource from individuals too
No they don’t .

Most of the logistics companies get careful facilities from commercial banks , they do equity contribution to get the trucks .

I know quite a number of those logistics companies who got loans to get fleet of trucks . In such arrangements , the bank
Will mandate the promoters of the company to obtain comprehensive insurance for the truck (to cover their liability ) and register the trucks in the name of the logistics company/the bank financing the purchase .

The logistics companies service the loans till they pay down (both principal
Amount + interest ) then the truck finally belongs to the logistics company alone . Most times the facility may last as much as 4 years .

The logistics companies manage the truck drivers and don’t do subcontracting . How they are able to manage them with their excesses , I will never know

You are correct, everything and anything is possible.
Human behaviour is unpredictable...... I just learnt the plane developed an engine fault enroute Benin on October 5th, was worked on and took to air on another flight to lagos following day and crashed mid air.

Time frame 48 hours.....
This is a brother of one of the deceased confirming my suspicions that the aircraft was probably faulty and the air force will do some major coverups irrespective of whatever investigation is done

Trucking na business for spirit. I am sure Dangote sef if you ask him for his experience will tell you plenty
Most manufacturing conglomerates in Nigeria like Dangote , Nigerian breweries , Nestle , etc do not carry their products by themselves anymore ; instead they sign contracts with logistics companies like TSL logistics , BHN logistics , GPC energy and logistics ,etc .

The aforementioned logistics companies sign contracts with the manufacture companies undertaking to carry their products for them safely to the customer’s destination . By so doing , the risk that should be on the principal manufacturer is transferred to the logistics company .

It is the headache of the logistics company to hire drivers , ensure they have proper training , ensure they deliver the good to customers with little or no issues in the course of the carriage process . The principal like Dangote , Nestle , NB , NBC , etc have their own logistics department breath down heavily on the neck of the logistics company.

They ensure the logistics company has insurance for all goods carried on behalf of the principal and ensure that the carrier (logistics company ) settles liability to the principal’s customers first before any further story .

Unfortunately , a small logistics company may not be able to meet some of these conditions

The government has refunded the ransom paid by families of the kidnapped NYSC members “ allegedly “ .

One can see from the body language of the parents that a lot has happened behind the scenes . The man and his wife are reluctant to give straight answers obviously because the powers that be in government have gotten to them. I don’t blame them tho , this is Nigeria .

I am a big Saka fan, but he looks like he has lost a step. Can't beat his man and now doesn't even try to beat his man. He probably would benefit from the coach taking him off earlier from time to time. Body no be firewood.
I agree with you on this. I wish Arteta will trust Dowman more Sha cos the thought of Madueke coming on for Saka dey give person migraine

Saka was instrumental to that second goal. That's why the coach don't always take him off

We scored 9 goals in total againt this same team last season, Gyokeres scored 3 of this, this said person is inform from international duty. Havertz have not done anything significant in the final third, mehn sometimes all we need a striker to do is just position and score. we are just dancing around the final third.

This team have declined as a whole in my opinion
This is not the same Leeds we trashed last season. This current Leeds team has not lost a game this season.

You can clearly see all Leeds players getting behind the ball immediately they lose the ball to Arsenal ; that shows a team that's tactically disciplined.

If we are going to break them, we will need our wingers and AM bringing the magic. Gyokeres with his heavy touch and lack of positional awareness is not the solution you are looking for.

I won't say more than this

why I said I would have preferred Gyrokas , this Havertz is just hovering around, we are just rovering around.
Gyokeres would've had lesser touch of the ball than Havertz in this game. He would've been choked out of the game.

We need our creatives bringing their A-game for us to break this Leeds mass defense. Gyokeres is not the answer you are looking for ; he won't even get to touch the ball much if he had started this game
