Calm down. No sane manager will throw Nwaneri into a tough schedule in three tough teams away outside his plan. Do you want to destroy the boy's mentality? Assuming that one of those games was at home then he can try but these are away games where your fans voices won't be the loudest.

You saw how an experienced Jorginho or Sterling struggled how much more Nwaneri. He may be at the same talent level with them Jamal and Musiala but he is not there yet mentally and that will take a proper planned process.

Arteta himself admitted that all his plans for this week were scattered with those series of injuries during the international break

I also believe that Odegaard injury must be enough for Arteta to hasten that process.
Yesterday’s match got a lot of fans emotional (maybe because of the taunt of rival fans sha ) , but like u rightly said ; It will irresponsible for Arteta to throw the young boy into a match of such nature .

I believe the boy’s time will come and he will do well in view of his talent.

That being said , it is important to state that Arteta goofed allowing Martinelli playing 90 minutes with nothing to show for it attack-wise . Arteta should also have realized by now that Havertz is ineffective as a midfielder , he just keeps ghosting on that left side of midfield . These are the issues .

While u are within ur rights as a citizen to be angry with the governor for buying a 2025 BMW in the midst of hunger and hardship being experienced in the country ; I must say that it’s almost impossible for a governor to improve the security situation of his state when the defense minister is “allegedly” behind insecurity in the state .

I mean if a federal minster who is in charge of defence ministry is behind insecurity , what security apparatus can the state governor deploy to combat insecurity ? 🤷‍♂️

The only thing we can hope is that the allegations are not true but just mere political bickering between the immediate past governor and his successor .

The reasons I will never do a conversion are simple.
1) I get no trunk space in my car.
2) Reduced power to my engine. I can't have my car moving slower biko.


Another measure concern is the fact that we are not safety conscious and alot of people will go for conversions that are involve bypass just to save money or use even cheaper parts.

Imagine being stuck in traffic with cars that did such conversion

All those ones have already done DNA already. Below is an excerpt of Kola Abiola's comments on the DNA saga.

[b]“Not after death, and they know themselves. They have done it in his lifetime. Their mothers knew they did in his lifetime so why would I want to forge that – to the point that he wrote in his will specifically that [/b]a lady has two kids for him but only one (the lady had taken him to court in England) is his. How would I have known that. I can go on and on. But you see, leadership requires objectivity even at your own expense.
They did the DNA test while Abiola was alive sef. So my question is why can't they approach Westminister ?

The pain will be felt by the child who has been deceived and the long term consequences on the child's mental health and psychological make up could be very damaging.



I agree that the woman is entirely to blame. But the institution of polygamy makes the occurrence of those things easier than monogamy. In fact, I'll go as far as saying that the more polygamous the situation is, the greater the likelihood that there may be a few illegitimate offspring among the huge brood of children. And polygamy is created by the man, not the woman.
If I were the Alaafin of Oyo's family, I would insist on DNA Paternity tests for all his children, particularly those of the newer wives he married when he was in his 80s.


I'm aware of that and I was looking at it from the perspective of the child who was referred to in Paragraph 6(b) (2) of the Will, who may have been disinherited because of the blood test they failed. The only lesson to be drawn from a comparison between the Abiola and Williams case is that polygamy tends to magnify and multiply trust issues in a way that monogamy does not.
I agree with ur last paragraph that polygamy magnifies trust issues.

You are also right that a man creates polygamy but most women in polygamous marriages are willing accomplices as well. Except for the first wife, nobody forces the other women into polygamy.

And guess what? Whatever the F.R.A Williams children are going through will be child's play compared to what the M.K.O Abiola children are going through.

Are any of the F.R.A children fighting over which one of them is a "qualifying child" or an "excluded child"? Can you imagine the pain of going through life only to discover that your birth was unwanted and even rejected by the man you believed to be your father?
There’s no pain anywhere . All the mothers know whom the father of their child was .

If a woman decides to lie to her child that he’s Abiola’s when he’s not, then the blame goes to the woman and that’s not on Abiola .

For your information , the bone of contention here is not whether these kids are Abiola’s . Everyone u see dragging Kola and Wuraola are already confirmed Abiola’s kids. What they are fighting for is that the aforementioned duo should not be the ones administering the assets .

As for the F.R.A children , it’s just a case of where love dies signings will go to any length to deny each other of any benefit due to each other .

Polygamy is such a mess, yuck. See the trouble that one man left behind which has been plaguing his family for years after his death. Just because he could not control his libido.
Chief F.R.A Williams (SAN) was a monogamous man who had 4 children from the same woman; his children are still in court till date fighting each other over the assets he left behind .

Guess what ? The man was a SAN, two of the four children are SANs as well.


Be it polygamy or monogamy , when u leave behind enough assets and children who are not united in love , they will always fight each other for the assets

japanese cars were a joke until the 70s opec oil crisis
americans were not interested in them
then they became the standard because they are fuel efficient
today they are the preferred cars all over the world

we are in an energy crisis that is partly due to the fact that we have made petrol our primary source of energy.
so should we continue doing things as we have , seeing as we are not making any headway or should we explore alternatives?
incidentally, this is how fortunes are made.

don't join others in complaining about the noise when opportunity is knocking
I never said we should keep doing things the way they are. If u read through the link I posted about the FG delegation’s visit to the scene of the Ogun explosion; u will see the minister raised concerns which are genuine and fair.

If we want millions of road users to move to CNG , then we must cross our t’s and dot our i’s . We are not a people known not to cut corners even in the most sacred of situations.

Yes there are CNG tankers in Nigeria but they are still a handful compared to Diesel and PMS trucks. I know a company that has a fleet of trucks, they only have a handful of CNG trucks while the rest are normal PMS/Diesel trucks.

Note that those CNG trucks are quite safer than converting ur PMS car to CNG o. The location of the CNG cylinder is somewhat safer unlike with cars when ur cylinder will be in ur booth.

Do you not see cng and lpg trucks on the same bad roads? So how come the accidents are mainly limited to petrol tankers?
For starters, how many CNG trucks do we have in this country sef before u start comparing the rate of accident of PMS tanker and CNG tanker?

Anyways, below is link to a CNG truck explosion as recent as June 2024

https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2024/06/04/four-dead-as-cng-truck-explodes-in-rivers/

One had earlier happened in Ogun state and below was the excerpts of the FG delegation's visit to the scene:

Speaking during the visit, the minister said the country was transiting to the use of CNG as an alternative fuel and that anything that might hurt the confidence of the people or make people begin to feel that CNG was not safe to use with the type of accident that happened in Abeokuta and Port Harcourt involving CNG trucks was a source of concern.

Ekpo said, “Nigeria’s gas resources are up to 208 trillion cubic feet and we have to make use of it in the way that it should be to drive the economy of this nation.

“So, what we are emphasing is maintaining safety standards because anything that falls beyond this won’t be appreciated.

“Like the Deputy Governor was talking when we visited where the cylinders were kept, we saw a crack on it which suggested that it was not up to standard, maybe that was why the force or friction on it made the cylinder to open and if this is not checked and we let our people install this in their vehicles without ascertaining the standards, it will pose a danger to all involved.

“So, this is a wake-up call to each of us, that we should rise to the challenge of the day.

“We must involve the Standard Organisation of Nigeria and the regulators to ensure that whatever is used in our vehicles is up to standard, so that we don’t have a reoccurrence of this type of accident.”

As an engineer I will never look to the west for solutions

I will look at what has been deployed in countries analogous to Nigeria. Indonesia, Pakistan india

You already know why third world countries don't go for electric cars. Because they require electricity. Westerners who have more energy than they can deal with and are energy hogs can go for evs. Also they are insulated from the big lie about evs that they are cleaner. All evs do is move the footprint.

And you are actually wrong there too, cng vehicles are used in the west. I know this because I had to research cng filling stations.

Also, Since cooking gas can explode, we may as well use firewood. Is that a better analogy?

For the Olodos who only learn from Twitter noisemakers,the fg is investing heavily in cng

https://statehouse.gov.ng/news/president-tinubu-directs-mandatory-procurement-of-cng-powered-vehicles/
Read my post again. I asked why is CNG powered vehicles not popular in the West, I never said it is not being used. Prior to advent of electric vehicles, CNG vehicles were not popular in the west. Since the advent of electric vehicles, CNG vehicles are still not as popular as Electric vehicles . Why?

Are u boldly saying India and Pakistan have deplorable roads like Nigeria? I listed factors that makes CNG seem unsafe in our clime and I mentioned bad roads as one of those factors. I was not making an argument for whether what works in Pakistan & India will or will not work in Nigeria. I mentioned factors peculiar to Nigeria.

@Op I don't really understand the issue here.

From the excerpt of the will you shared, the executor of the will and Abiola's appointed Trustee is NATIONAL WESTMINISTER BANK PLC, UK.

Shouldn't you be asking them why and how Kola & Wuraola became administrators of the will? I believe the family should be asking the will executors the right questions and not Nigerian authorities.

How is this EFCC, NFIU or Nigerian Police headache?

Except of course if Abiola has two different wills; one that is for his assets abroad and the other for his assets in Nigeria.

I honestly don't see it as a reprieve for vehicle owners o.

Shey na people wey wan use gas power vehicle be that?

Our bad roads too are a serious concern here. Even in major cities like Lagos, Abuja, PHC, etc there are several bad roads here and there.

CNG is a mature technology. Nothing new to see. They have been using it in India and Pakistan since the 90s.

It is actually electric vehicles we should be worried about imho, esp in Nigeria where people can cut out safety features
Everything u tryped up here is false equivalence.

Number 1 , converting original PMS powered vehicle to CNG is something that is new to us in this clime. The conversion definitely has its dangers which can be further exacerbated by the fact that some chances of error adopting a new technology can be extremely high.

Maybe if people were buying brand new CNG powered cars we wouldn't be much worried but doing conversion ? There are chances that the errors and omissions can be made during the conversion process which might spell danger not just for the car owner but other road users.

The CNG gas is a pressured gas. What do u think will happen when a car running on pressured gas meets bad roads like East-West road in rivers state or those roads in Edo state Obaseki has refused to repair because they are federal roads?

Finally, if CNG is that safe and cheap, why is it that CNG vehicles are not popular in countries in the West? Instead those countries go for electric vehicles that cost them more to recharge. Why?

I acknowledged the lack of creativity. That's the take away from the game. I just highlighted that a 9 would have shadowed the lack of that if we had one. Why? Because a proper 9, if they had the big chances wasted by those two clowns, we would be happy we won and also admitting we lacked creativity but a 9 helped to soften that. Arteta sometimes acts like he doesn't know when to go crude and when to stay smooth and sleek. It's annoying. If we went the Burnley long balls way at some point, we for see something from it. But...

Stubborn Mikel
I doubt we would've gotten anything out of the game if we had gone the way of Burnley-Long-Balls like u suggested.

I already pointed it out that the way Atalanta was set up would make it almost impossible for us to outwit them with long balls. They had 3 CB's and 2 WB's. Two of the CB's will be on whoever we are loading the ball to while the 3rd CB will be on standby to win second ball.

If any other pattern would've worked, it's definitely not the Burnley-Long-Ball tactics.

I watched that Raya save again this morning and the only thing I can say is that Raya definitely has a spring somewhere in his body. Like that's the only explanation to how he saved the rebound from that penalty.

A second after Raya saved the initial penalty kick, he was lying on the left-hand side of the post. The penalty taker had enough time to pick the opposite direction to nod the ball into the net while he (Raya) was still sprawled on the floor; but somehow Raya was up again to save the ball for the second time within seconds. It was so unreal.

Raya seem to be on a mission to prove Areta right for dropping Ramsdale for him.
