this imho was on ambode who pulled a naija governor move and abandoned all existing projects and initiatives

Ambode only ruled for 4 years out of the 14 years the road project lasted na.

Anyways, If u check the facebook post, the caption of the video gives credit to APC as being the government responsible for constructing the road. The post didn't say whether it was Fashola, Ambode or Sanwoolu that constructed it. I have no issues with that at all because indeed APC government was responsible for the construction from start to finish.

I am only grateful they completed the road even tho it lasted 14 years. A win is a win.

Silentgroper:
Well they did finish third three consecutive times , I'm not sure but I think that was okocha's era .

Mention the year they finished third na. If Bolton finished third, who finished 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th that year ?

You are literally claiming Bolton played in the Champions league which is 100% false.

Their best finish ever was 6th and it was the Europa league they qualified to play in.

Badagry road under APC

Thank God they finished it at last. They constructed this road for almost 14 years. It was started under Fashola's government around 2010 or thereabouts.

I see shege for that road Sha.

Did Bolton ever finish top 4 in Okochas time? He didn't play for Portsmouth, He played for Hull City

He say Bolton a na top club 😂. Club that was finishing 8th, 6th and even 17th at some point sef.

raumdeuter:
That was why top clubs avoided him

This is what his teammates said about him. Imagine the striker waiting for Okochas pass and has wandered offside 5 times because Okocha wanted to dribble or the DM and dfeender that had to mop up anytime he lost the ball

That will be a good reason teammates will not want to be in the same team with Okocha, He is always for his own personal glory

I guess it was Nigerian fans who encouraged him/led him on to believe he was doing the right thing each time they cheer him when he is showboating. The coaches too contributed by not cautioning him; perhaps they fear he and his goons will rebel and down tools.

raumdeuter:
See the below at a crucial world cup knockout

I believe he didn't play under coaches who were really ambitious and wanted to win something. If not, they would've changed it for him with all those unnecessary shaku-shaku he's doing while his team doesn't have at least a 2-goal lead.

I can't imagine he will be playing under modern coaches like Klopp or Guardiola, and he will be doing that nonsense when he should be launching the ball into the opponent's box.

timbros:
I don't stan Diouf.

But you see where Adebayor dey? Diouf pass am. FIFA is with me on this one

Strikers are judged by goals they scored on the pitch in their career, not pooling booth award.

Adebayor scored far more goals than Diouf can ever think of. His work rate saw him move from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1, to EPL and to La Liga.

Diouf was busy dropping poverty numbers for a striker and ended up not scoring a single goal in a season at a top club like Liverpool. Shame!

timbros:
Diouf scored lesser number of goals compared to Adebayor. He played for smalls teams. That's his excuse. Adebayor played for bigger teams... Now the question is, what did Adebayor win with those big teams? That's where he flopped.

Did FIFA put Adebayor in their All Star Team because he scored a million goals in qualifiers? Did FIFA recognise Adebayor in FIFA 100 because he dragged Togo to World Cup?

Spot the difference.

Is Togo bigger than Senegal ? Oya tell us why Adebayor has more international goals than Diouf considering the fact that Adebayor played for Togo and Diouf played for Senegal.

afrodoc:
Those of us that watched the mega way Diouf flopped at Liverpool can't be deceived. In his 2nd and final season, he played 33 games and scored ZERO goal. Goalkeeper stats.

He probably thinks we have forgotten all about Diouf who was best known for his indiscipline on the pitch rather than the number of gaols he scored.

There's a reason timbros is running away from Talking about the number of goals both players scored as strikers.

timbros:
Adebayor did NOT perform at the top teams! His goals won nothing for Arsenal, City, Spurs. His goal won him zero golden boot.

How exactly did he perform in those big clubs?

Diouf can boast of SPL in small Rangers.

Guy U are stanning a Diouf that didn't score one single goal in a seaosn playing for a Top side like Liverpool.

It is a 4cking disgrace bro! A striker for that matter, not a defender or goalkeeper o. Ederson wey be goalkeeper sef dey score in a season

timbros:
What if I showed you what Diouf won in a smaller club? Will that make you rate him?

No, show me the number of goals scored by Diouf in his club career and also show the number of goals he scored at the national team level playing for a star studded Senegal team.

Let us check who is the most prolific goal scorer between the two of them.

You are the one who falsely claimed Adebayor didn't do anything apart from playing for big teams and I had to show you his achievement with African Minnows like Togo to clear that false claim. What he did is tantamount to a single player dragging minnows like Lichtsteiner or Luxembourg to the World cup

timbros:
We are talking of individual achievements you dey talk of runner up

So that's the only thing u saw there abi? Why didn't you comment on the fact that Adebayor scored 11 goals to drag Togo to their first and only world cup appearance?

Why din't you speak to the fact that Adebayor performed at the top teams he played for while Diouf flopped scandalously?

Diouf kor, Djemba Djemba ni.

timbros:
And what happened in the main tournament itself?

You said "I still haven't seen anything that you guys mention Adebayor did aside playing for bigger teams".

Now I showed you what he did playing for a smaller team and you are asking me what happened in the main tournament.

At least I have been able to show you that Adebayor was not just about playing for big teams, he was a consistent performer on the pitch both in his national colours and that of the clubs he represented. Same can't be said of Diouf.

AirBere:
Better striker....baby Kanu unlike Diouf; Lua Lua brother

I think he's just using Nostalgia to rate Diouf higher than the performance he displayed throughout his career.

Adebayor was runner up in the race for golden boot behind C.Ronaldo in the EPL, he had EPL goal of the season to his credit in 07/08 and also made the EPL team of that same year. Na the person he dey use compare Diouf be that.

timbros:
That 2 years made him better than Adebayor.

I still haven't seen anything that you guys mention Adebayor did aside playing for bigger teams. I'm sure if the table was turned and Adebayor had the kind of performance Diouf had in 2002 World Cup, this place will be flooded on why Adebayor is better.

You commented on Owen few days ago. How many years did Owen had before the injury that derailed his career? But history will never forget Owen because of those 2 to 3 years.

Adebayor scored 11 goals in the 2006 World cup qualifiers Playing for a Minnow team like Togo. He dragged them to the world cup being the highest goal scorer. They played against superior teams like Mali, Zambia, Congo, Liberia and Senegal in the qualifiers o.

If that doesn't add a feather to Adebayor's cap, I wonder what will convince u Adebayor was a better player than Diouf on the pitch

timbros:
Nobody is rating Diouf as the best Senegalese player. Make una no dey do like this.

A list was given and I observed that Diouf is better than a name on the list. How does that translate to Diouf being the best player from Senegal?

They've already told you how inconsistent Diouf was in his footballing performance on the pitch, you were referred to how he flopped at top clubs he played for and you were also informed about how he only had 2 great years and that was it. Somehow u still believe he is better than Adebayor who was a performing starter at not one , not two big clubs.

The only reason why I mentioned Diouf as not being the best Senegalese player is to buttress their point that Diouf is not all that. He is not the player you are painting him to be at all. We watched him play and we watched others play. Adebayor single handedly dragged Togo to the 2006 FIFA world cup ; he played in Togolese side that didn't have much superstars playing in Europe and he ended up being the highest goal scorer in the African qualifiers for the 2006 World cup.

afrodoc2:
Diouf had 2 years and that is it. Before 2001 he did nothing. After 2002 he did nothing.

It is on paper you can compare him to Adebayor. The clubs Diouf played for before 2002 were otu oshi. The clubs he played for after 2004 were otu oshi.

Adebayor played for Monaco in 2003 and in 2011 he was playing for Madrid and 2014 he was still playing for Spurs.

Gbam!

Even Senegalese would not pick Diouf as the best Senegalese that donned their national team colours

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
BAT been dey for bench dey yab GEJ, now time to show workings. Na excuses he dey give.

63 people murdered in Borno by Boko Haram.
Everywhere is calm, no statement from the presidency. This is too sad.

The rate at which people die under this administration due to banditry and terrorism is alarming. Under Buhari APC lied that Boko Haram has been technically defeated yet Boko Haram is still Kpa-ing people in 2025.

It is indeed easy to stay on the sideline and be yabbing the president for being clueless. Now he has travelled to Europe for vacation while terrorism is not abating.

andrewbaba44:
He used to be rated then when growing up ,mostly by some of our fathers ,if they can rate Garuba lawal then it’s okay to rate diouf

I watched him play and there was nothing spectacular about him; He's not all that.

I rate Mane his fellow Senegalese far ahead of him.

andrewbaba44:
El hadji diouf is one of the most overrated African player I have ever seen

Nobody really rates Diouf like that. Maybe his Senegalese brothers rate him high Sha, but I don't think any other person rate him like that.

Madueke go frustrate una well well this season. Not as much as Garnacho will frustrate Chelsea fans tho

So who will frustrate man utd fans?

Amuru the coach?

swiz123:
Couldn’t be possibly as sore as what your Rice is putting me through here. Proper mechanic footballer.

That one na Ur palava jor. Nothing concern me with England player when Naija dey play.

I only care about what Rice plays in an arsenal shirt and he made PFA 2025. That's all that matters 🚶

See the goal mouth scramble gidigbo goal we scored sef

Kilishihunter:
He escaped with another one before the end of the half, I hope Chelle warned him seriously in the dressing room cause I don't think anyone would forgive him if he gets sent off

It just seem the guy is dying to put his name in Nigerians' black book

andrewbaba44:
After Man U ,super eagles na another team wey go spoil your eyes too

Aswear! Man utd of last season and this super eagles na the same thing...I've not watched their match for a long time now ; today I decided to take time to watch them na eyesore.

Amethyst101:
Na so we wan take qualify for WC

Even if we manage to qualify, na rubbish we go play for there and we will be whipped silly.

We don't have any football identity/pattern of play at all. It's shameful we have so many top players across Europe and then our national team sucks like this.

This nonsense our goalkeeper dey do fighting these Rwandan attackers will sooner or later boomerang.

He should just keep his head in the game and play without getting himself worked up.

How can you be so confrontational with players of a team that just want to be spoilers?

GloriousGbola:
Especially as the people we see in his project pictures do not even look well paid to start with

The man gives the vibe of those old school 419 guys.

One of them was once our neighbor growing up. At some point he was producing Vaseline (perfume jelly) inside his 3 bedroom flat. Another time he brought home one rough and rugged oyinbo and one Lagos chief as his business partner. There were times police will come and look for him to arrest and won't meet him. All of these happened late 90's / early 2000's.

At some point the man just packed from his flat after owing his landlord like 3 years rent.

Around 2014 we just heard that the man is now a big man. He's now a big contractor who gets contract from government. The Alhaji they used to call him back then with ordinary mouth, he has eventually gone for hajj, sponsored his wife and daughter too to hajj and they are now swimming in money.(allegedly)

I know people like that man will be doing Aspire to perspire to maguire, but only few people will know he was full fledged 419 back in the days.

How can Moses Simon who is supposed to be right winger be playing through the middle?

These people just need to spread ball across the field to catch Ola Aina alone without Moses covering for him and we will be toast.
