most times i think all this stats are not properly done.with what i have seen,i belive 4 out of 10 Nigerian youths within the age bracket of 25-45 has seen more than that.
That means u must be living in banana island or VGC to come up with this stats o.

If u’ve lived ur life or grew up on the streets u will know that 4 out of 10 Nigerian youths do not have that amount u are calling .

I hope u know CBN has records of all bank accounts in this country and if the CBN governor is telling u 95% of Nigerian adults do not have more than 500k in their bank accounts , he’s saying it from an informed point of view and not just “believe “ which u are hinging ur own opinion on.

Since I was a kid , the late Yinka Odumakin and his wife Joe Odumakin had been farming “activism” as a source of income . Those two , I never really for once know what they do for a living after they graduated from uni; I just know them to be career activists .

You are right that some people have been chopping NGO and activism dollars for ages .

Most of the write-ups yahoo boys use to extort money from oyinbos , do u think it’s the same head they used to fail JAMB several times they used to write it ? There are educated people who do these write-ups/formats for them for a fee .

When You see a yahoo boy scam an oyinbo with PhD online ; it’s simply because the yahoo boy has someone equally intelligent who helps him draft his write-ups and proof reads it before he sends its out.

Haba habaaaa nowww. At the detriment of the midfield. When he played in RB under simeone, who played the DM role? That was an excess personnel situation. Here na emergency situation now. The two don't fit as example. We need him where he's best output is pls. Anyway, White will be back soon.
Arsenal Vs Loserpool this season Partey played in RB and it was one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt.

Partey played RB under Simeone not because there was excess personnel situation but because the regular RB's were out. It is the same thing that is currently happening that has prompted Arteta to use him in that position.

Let's hope white comes back soon and Timber also gets to play RB while Calafiori and Tomiyasu are also fully fit. When the regular starters are fully fit, we can start calling for Arteta's head for using players out of their natural position.

You are the one who is overrating Nigerian youth.

The CBN governor says only about 5% Nigerians have N500,000 and above in their bank accounts.

If Diggz says over 90% of Nigerian youth will not see N160m in their lifetime, he is not wrong at all. You need to ask yourself how much do Civil servants who are graduates earn? Even people have attained level 15,16,17 in civil service; what is their pension as at the time of retirement?

Those are people who are employed o, what of those that are neither employed nor have viable business running ? Most people practically live from hand to mouth. Where dem wan see N160m in their lifetime? Bar few youth who engage in Yahoo Yahoo and maybe those into tech & crypto, N160m no easy to see for person lifetime like that o

Productivity over hierarchy. To me he's insulted Partey with that RB experiment.


Overall, im glad his adaptation>>>>>Pep

Na just rodri and see how everywhere scatter. Even KDB is back, yet....
Baba Partey played as CM, RB and CB at Athletico under Simeone; Arteta didn't just start playing him at RB neither is it an experiement. Go back to 2017, 2018 while he was at Athletico Madrid u will see Partey playing RB for Simeone's team.

Arteta is using him there because he's tested and trusted in that role over the years.

Ibim's thoughts are spot on—if VDM turns off the tap and walks away with the money, it shows he has a poor spirit. But honestly, Ibim is also someone whose reality is pretty far from what most Nigerians deal with, even though he tries to stay connected.
Shebi, you’re talking about bank workers, right? Those ones are still employees. I’ve seen wealthy employers of labour do the same for way less, not to mention young online hustling activists with no work history as an adult. I’m pretty sure over 50% of Nigerians would grab that money and waka!
The thing is Most Nigerians don't care how u judge their spirit whether u call it a poor spirit or a rich spirit grin

Just last week a friend was still telling me how he was trying to raise funds amongst the youth in their church to bail a youth member who was arrested by the police.

The lady was arrested because she's the admin for an ajo/esusu contribution group. They would contribute funds and each member will pack the contribution based on whatever number they fall under. Being the admin she is in charge of disbursing funds to whoever's turn it was to pack the funds.

She disbursed to a member who was number 2 and that one just exited the group, blocked her everywhere and was nowhere to be found. The funds was around 400k. Being the admin of the group, the other members believe she must provide the member that ran off with the funds without planning to pay back.

So the police arrested the admin and it was her church members that were running around to have her released and even provide the N400k to the other members who have vowed to deal with the admin except she produces the thief and thier funds.

Imagine someone running off with 400k without even thinking they might decide to track her and make life miserable for her? Does that person even care about her soul is being judged?

Even Man utd that were wailing about our corner kick goals, yesterday I saw some of their fans blaming their set piece coach for not training their players on how well to defend cornerkicks after Cunha's goal. Suddenly they realize their set-piece coach is not doing enough. Yet they were slating us for scoring corner against them

The sad fact is that it is indeed that black and white. Not playing him when Òde was injured trashes that 1st rule. Suddenly, Ode returned and he began to give him minutes, all pointing to the fact that he has finally realized and was doing the right thing at a late time.

Having learnt that lesson, he's now trying to make up with Skelly. Rem Skelly was available since last season.


Anyways, he should be faster in learning lessons. We all need that curve for him.
There are other senior players who are ahead of Nwaneri in the pecking order. That Arteta trains the boys weekly and believes the other senior players ahead of him would give him more than Nwaneri. You and me are just fans who only speculate from the sidelines, the coach and the players are the ones who know what happens in the training ground.

I have learnt to always trust the decision of a coach when he says a player is not ready. We were all shouting for Arteta to use Saliba when Arteta believe he was not ready and needed to go on loan. When he was sure he was ready, he started using him and it has turned out to be the best decision.

These things are not black and white like u want to see it.

I totally get what you're saying. But let's be real—who among today's Nigerian youths or even Nigerians in general wouldn't just turn off the tap and walk away with N160 million? That kind of money is something over 90% of people can only dream about in their lifetime, so it's totally possible. Sure, if he does walk away with it, he is defo poor in spirit, but I've seen folks who are supposedly in way better positions than him do it for much less.
You are very correct , people have turned off the tap on sums that are way lesser than N160m sef .

I’ve seen bankers who earn decent salaries , have access to mortgage financed by the bank and doing well for themselves financially still immersing themselves into stupiid fraud that ended their career .

We need the 8points gap and that large GD.


Another fact is he will rather give the young defenders a chance than the forwards or midfielders anyway. Don't be surprised if he gets another defender to make MLS benched.
I don't think things are black and white like u are seeing it. I don't think it has to do with whether Arteta gives young defenders chances than young midfielders/forwards.

He will not just bench a senior player for young player simply for the fun of it, rather he will do it when condition warrants it. For example, he won't say because he wants Nwaneri to play, he will bench Odegaard when he is fit, and we know him to be the fulcrum of our attacking play. A coach should not be managing a team based on the feelings of the fans but on what he sees in the players' performance in training.

I believe Skelly is playing because he offers more than Zinchecko and the Kiwior does in training on that side of our defense.

Good planning and execution trumps good intentions.

You organize a christmas carnival for children.

You promoted this event massively on radio saying you expect an attendance of 5000 children.

You declared free entry, gifts and even promised scholarship for a lucky few.

Yet the venue for the event was a school compound?

Did the organizers expect the kids to show up by themselves without their parents?

For 5000 kids, they should have expected at least 2500 parents/guardians. .

So could the school venue have accommodated 7500 people adequately?

These are the questions.

In my opinion, even if the crowd had not besieged the venue before the scheduled time, the organizers would still have had issues considering the turnout and the venue of the event.

A stampede may or may not have occured, who knows 🤔

It's sad how everything turned out but people died and were injured.

Parents have lost their children, an irreparable loss that can never be atoned for.

Princess Naomi and Hamzat Oriyomi's current ordeal is temporary.

They'll eventually be released and they'll be fine. Their connects and status in society ensures that.

I only feel for the parents of the deceased.
I feel for all parties involved including the parents, the kids and the organizers(Naomi and Hamzat).

I agree proper planning and execution is key, but we also should not excuse the behavior of our people being unruly & disorderly at times.

From Naomi and Hamzat's account of events, they provided security but the security guys were overwhelmed by the huge presence of crowd who refused to be placated. I've seen people misbehave over the smallest of things. Our people naturally don't like to be orderly.

If u are in Lagos and have ever had chance to struggle for BRT/any public bus, u will see how our people are just impatient and just like to jump queue. I've seen people jumping into buses through the window several times in this Lagos. Like people care less about their safety and just do dangerous things. I'm sure if such people fall on their head while jumping into a bus via the window , people will turn around and blame the driver.

We should also note that Naomi has been doing the Christmas giveaway for years without this much crowd turning up. I guess the hardship and hunger in the land played an important but unfortunate role in this whole stampede. Some people brought as much as 4 kids just to be able to collect the gifts 4 times to sustain them for a few days meal.

In all, it is an unfortunate incident.

I think Havertz should just come from the bench. Martinelli at RW and Jesus up top. Both Gabriel have a deep connection and should be able to rotate effortlessly.

Calafiori trained yesterday so he should be able to play today. Might come in as a substitute.

As for the last paragraph, the fans are just being impatient. They wanted him to throw the kids into the field just like that. Simply because other teams are doing so and not because it will help the team. As of now, Dowman and a certain Annous are training with the team. By the time they get their chance (depending on how the training goes), they would have properly blended in.
I am always of the opinion that no coach will overlook a young player if he believes such player is ready. Some of our fans think it is cowardice if a coach decides to use a young player, but I do not. The fact that we used to rely on extremely young players in the past and those players always dicth us when they come of age has made me not be overly demanding for young players to be forced into the team at all cost.

I believe more young players will get their opportunity to shine once the coach believes they are ready.

I doubt Arteta will bench Havertz, intead I think this is what he will likely use uprfront LW- Martinelli, CF- Havertz and RW- Jesus. Trossard will come in later as sub and Nwaneri too
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by BlueRayDick: 8:08am On Dec 27, 2024
We just need to win today's game with substantial Goal Difference and get our season back on track once and for all.

I suspect Arteta may want to start Jesus in Saka's position owing to Jesus' recent form versus Crystal Palace in both legs.

It also appears Lewis-Skelly may have broken into the starting 11 if Calafiori continues to be absent. Maybe Arteta doesn't really hate young players like we want to believe in the past, maybe he just wanted to give them chance only when they are ready

Why is Malami still a free man?

Malami and Emefiele should be sharing the same prison cell considering the level of corruption Malami was involved in during his time as the AGF. There was a time a Civil society coalition compiled a list of corruption Malami was involved in and forwarded it to Buhari for action in form of petition; It was swept under the carpet. I think it's high time Tinubu's government shine their torch on Malami's time in office and let him have his day in court

Nigerian police are opportunistic vultures. If you are involved in a death in any way, they are ecstatic as they have you where they want you. Years ago we had a death on site and the first thing they did was hold the contactor employing the deceased. The man had to first drop 300k. You do not want to be reporting a death or to be with a person who passed on

Legally I am not sure the police have a case. People broke into the venue of their own accord hours before it was to start.
Exactly my thought, I don't think the police will be able to prove their case successfully in court if Hamzat and Naomi get good lawyers who specialize in criminal law.

From th facts that has been in the open, it appears as tho the people broke into the venue even before the commencement of the program.

Nigeria police have a funny way of investigating crime ; they just pack anybody packable and lock them in a cell. That's why if somebody dies in a house close to u, it is only wise for u to quickly travel before police go on an arrest spree

This Hamzat Oriyomi and ex-queen Náómì matter get as e be o.

So it just means somebody is one good deed and one mistake away from prison in this country. The loss of lives is definitely regrettable, but the parents of the minors that died are also culpable.

It looks unfair to dock Hamzat and Naomi who intended to hand out palliatives to the vulnerable while the parents of the kids who allegedly threw their kids over the fence are allowed to walk freely or better still act as prosecuting witnesses.

It just gives a feeling that people like Hamzat and Naomi will hands off any act of good gesture in the future if they ever get freed at the end of this case. As much as I sympathize with the family of the deceased kids, I also sympathize with Hamzat whose business will definitely suffer in his absence.
