If you have worked in a company run by people who have small sense, as the company is growing, you will se the ogas learning the lessons and starting to adopt risk management methods they would have scoffed at as wasting of money as revenue increases

safety and risk management cost money - but they cost much more if you are caught slipping and a minor problem can snowball into a major incident.

easy classic example - someone faints in a tank. do you have the winch to pull him out? do you have breathing apparatus? if so you send someone in after him with breathing apparatus. if not someone goes in to retrieve the guy and also faints. repeat until you realize this will not work and report to mgt there are x dead men in a tank.
There's a reason most companies take risk management serious. Like that technician fainting in tank example you gave ; the technician may die begore he's retrieved and that is a potential law suit worth hundred of millions in naira the company will be facing from the technicians family.

The company will also have to deal with negative press that comes with such incident. All of which could've been avoided if they just take risk management serious.

Thats what it is

something as simple as making sure your tank is full will mean if you have a night emergency where you need to get to a hospital 30km away will not morph into a worse emergency of your car now runs out of fuel in the middle of oshodi at 2am

or buying a proper spare tire. or paying for comprehensive insurance

Their defenders self are average aside le normand ,though they are trying

And you are right about inter looking more like the old atletico

Those una corner kicks sha ,you guys are specialist there ,I was surprised you didn’t score any against Madrid ,or maybe because Gabriel wasn’t available grin
We nearly scored couple of Corners last week, but Courtois just spread everywhere like virus, he no allow the ball enter. But yesterday our corners were very poor (by our standard) and I think it is solely because we were focusing more on not leaving our half too open while contesting corner kicks to avoid break away counterattack from those fast Madrid wingers.

That's why the more money you have the more you start spending to mitigate risk. If you don't have money, you just take your chances
Well, that is why the poor will always suffer much greater loss than the affluent who used his abundant financial resources manage his risks long before they crystalize.

Likely to Knock out arsenal than Madrid doesn’t mean the game can’t go your way

You see as you beat Madrid like thief you no go do am against tico in 2 legs ,and yes I know this is not the same old atletico ,but dem still get that small firewood

Don’t even use how Barca plays to judge how atletico will fare against you guys ,they also won us once at home this season though ,atletico hardly wins against Barca normally
This Athletico team just lacks that defensive core that makes them tick. I've watched them since the beginning of this season, and I just kept wondering where that their old ruggedity went. Inter looks more like the old Athletico if they want to be.

Of course I don't mean to say we will score loads of goals against Athletico if we are to play them, but we can certainly get something out of that tie. Whether na goal from Corner kicks or counter attacks like we've been doing lately, we will surely waylay dem.

I told an arsenal fan that tico is likely to Knock out arteta than ancelotti madrid ,the guy self no agree with me

You won’t blame anyone sha ,most of them only follow Madrid on paper and they will think mbappe vini will be able to take care of any team
This present Arsenal would defeat Athletico Madrid leave story bro. I have watched Athletico Fumbled consistently against Barca this season and also saw them getting knocked out by this weak Real Madrid team. Our midfield will definitely wear them out and we will come out tops if we are to play them. Most people are making the mistake of thinking the current Athletico is the old athletico who are the maestro of low block; they are not !(At least from their matches I've watched this season)

Inter on the other hand is a more balanced Athletico Madrid that is good in almost all department. Inter can match us in all departments on the pitch ; In fact they are the only team that bested us in this year's champions league thus far. They have a way of beating our press every time from the back to midfield.

In the group stage, we had 63% possession to their 37%, we played 20 shots and none found the back of the net, we played 13 corners and none was converted. They simply managed to score one PK against us and closed shop.

Do you think if arsenal ends up not winning this UCL that anybody will care about 5-1 vs Real Madrid 😂😂.

How many people still remember Ten Hag ajax that flogged Madrid then
The point flew over ur head as usual.

This is not about Arsenal the club, but Results cancel Insults. Arsenal was insulted for a whole week for daring to win 3-0 against Madrid, but after consolidating that particular result yesterday night by making it 5-1 on aggregate suddenly nobody cares about the insults anymore. Everyone keeps talking about how Madrid were dumped out by a very solid Arsenal team.

If u want to cry about Arsenal as usual, the floor is urs grin

This year's Arsenal vs Real Madrid is enough material for anybody that want to write paper on Results cancel insults 💯

Arsenal won the first leg 3-0 against the reigning champions (which is no mean feat), but instead of commendation, all arsenal got in return was insult.
Instead of pundits talking about Arsenal's compact midfield, their defence's discipline and how the whole team quickly forms into shape when they don't have the ball; all they did was gloat about the possibility of a Real Madrid comeback.

We all know Arsenal as a club has not covered itself in glory with their performance in the UCL competition in recent times, but at least Courtesy demands that sports analysts and pundits take time to discuss about arsenal holding their own and taking advantage of the 3 goal advantage.

Real madrid as a club shamelessly pandered to social media rhetorics, they fed the trolls and gave bloggers enough materials to work with. They even brought in motivational speakers to talk to their players while they made sure everyone on the internet knew about it.

All Arsenal needed to do was focus on getting a favorable result for the second leg while ignoring all the insults flying left and right.

Now the result is : Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 5-1 on two legs in the 2025 UCL quarter finals and that is what everybody will remember in 50 years' time. Nobody will remember a so called "Remontada" that never happened.

Focus on the results brethren and it will sure cancel the insults! Na why the Jedi master Arteta said " We will do the talking on the pitch " and we heard him.loyd and clear yesterday night. 🙅‍♂️

The first time I heard of this, I was surprised because one girl whenever coming to school will never travel with her brother and I wondered why you take that decision, After I thought about it, it weirdly makes sense from a risk management and Disaster recovery POV

But if the family has one car and you have to say go from Lagos to Ilorin or driving from Maryland to Atlanta, will that mean some will drive and the others will split into 4 different commercial vehicles?
My mum's friend died in an accident which involved herself, her husband and two of their children.

The bus they were travelling in from Ilesha to Lagos somersaulted, the woman was flung out of the window and she hit her head on the tarred road. Although she died in the accident, their family was "lucky" because her husband survived with a neck injury, one of the daughters had a dislocated arm and the second daughter had a minor bruise on her head.

The incident was one of the reasons I dread road traveling across this country o. It was also what made me see sense in my own parent's disposition to family travel

The emboldened hit me cos I've driven interstate with my entire family in tow from the South-east to the South-west, and returned back to the East a few times in the past few years.

Big Big Risk but

Accident ❌
Kidnappers❌
Vehicular issues❌

I gats still run the route later this year for my younger brother's wedding in Lagos, and flight no be option.

Most likely na only me go travel so I go use commercial bus.

Thankful for journey mercies.
Right from my childhood it is a tradition in our family that we don't travel all at once. Most of the travels my parents did, they did without we the children. Sometimes mummy might go with one of my two sisters , while dad travel solo leaving me and my other sister at home.

No matter how important the occasion is, we always have at least one member of the nuclear family not traveling. I never read meaning to it until I was much grown and thought maybe it was an intentional risk management technique on the part of my parents.

When I asked my parents if that was indeed their intentions, my mum said "Olorun maje a ku akurun" (Which roughly translates to "May we not die tragically with our entire lineage wiped off" )

The message from the DSS chief saying citizens should protect themselves, an admission of their failure, is premise for unregulated inflow of arms and ammunitions into the country. Even in the US where there's database for these things, it's still a problem, not to mention a country where no such stop-gaps are in place. Calls of that nature are more likely to make a Sudan or Sierra Leone of Nigeria than it is to make it a United States where the citizens feel protected because they're armed.

We'd end up creating a system where strong men like Agwaza move unchecked.

If Nigeria is to allow citizens right to bear arms, it has to be done properly, and not via unguarded statements from the DSS chiefs and Batists looking to absolve their principal of his primary responsibility.
You are actually right on DSS being a failed organization/security agency.

If DSS was indeed a functional intelligence agency, they would've gathered intelligence on this repeated massacre reoccurring in the middle belt and put a stop to it. I mean how can we claim to have an intelligence agency in Nigeria when Fulani militia can just move from one community to another, massacre a large number of inhabitants and it happens again and again and again?

Watched the recent mass burial held in plateau state and I just shook my head..
If the people try to take law into their hands, the security agents will come for them.

I read about one guy in Benue (I can't recall his name now) who armed his people and formed a local militia to fight back against the Fulani Militia . For years he dealt with them and it was blood for blood on that axis; at some point the Nigerian Army declared him wanted. Much later the state government felt he was getting too powerful and decided to arrange an amnesty for him , arranged for him and his militia to disarm with the promise the government will ensure the people are protected.

The guy and his militia surrendered their weapons and embraced the amnesty program. Guess what? The Nigerian Army came to arrest him in contravention of the amnesty program terms and murdered him in cold blood.

After the guy's death, his people suffered more attacks from the Fulani Militia and it still continues in Benue state in general till date.

In most countries including the USA, na when victims cry out security agencies always go after ponzi scheme operators/scammers. When the going was good none of the victims would say anything, if u try to advice them sef they will say u are jealous because u are broker and can't afford to "invest".

Hopefully EFCC and Interpol will unmask the real people behind this because that $800m is a whole lot of money o. I won't be surprised if some people commit suicide sef cos the videos I've been seeing online since yesterday ehn... sad

Shouting “I am a man! I am a man”, no be by cho cho cho, rather the ability of a man to make quality/ sensible decisions in the middle of the most difficult situation. Quality decisions aimed at minimizing the consequences of a mistake.

I see what you are saying. However, no woman wakes up, picks her daughter and travels out of state to her baby daddy’s to rekindle, if they have not been talking. Let me assure you that while there may have been no promises of commitment or even marriage talk from the guy, they (BM and BS) were talking before she travelled out of state with a child to surprise him. Again, not justifying the surprise but let me assure you that the adults (BD and BM) definitely had something going and she figured she could surprise him.

Irrespective of the time they showed up, even if na 7AM, your child just traveled across state with BM to your house unannounced. The smartest thing he should have done was to get them settled/ rested somewhere else not send them back immediately. Call a trusted friend, a family member or get a room for them.

The fool was thinking with his tool because the BM’s unannounced visit don cast the parole with the banny she met at home and he obviously did not want to lose on that end because he may prioritize that relationship to that of his BM. More than likely, the Banny at home was unaware he has a BM/ daughter, otherwise he wouldn’t be that tempered about that visit.

See ehn, even the best OGs have gotten into mix ups like these but the mature ones dey handle am like say nothing happen.
I get you, the daughter should've been enough reason for him to not turn the baby mama away ; you are right he was thinking only about his new woman at that point.

If I happened to be the baby mama's relative, I will also be pained she passed away in the tragic incident resulting from the complicated events that happened earlier in the day.

As regards Ur last paragraph, I feel the OGs in the past that have gotten into such instances may have acted worse but we don't know because none of their actions and inactions led to such tragic loss of life. Do you know that the baba mama could've died in her sleep while he accommodated her and the news we will see on the internet will be " Baba mama dies mysteriously while visting her baby daddy after a long time ". The baby daddy will be arrested and questioned for days by the Nigerian police especially if the family just like this insist they suspect foul play with or without evidence.
