If I was a betting man, I will confidently bet that nothing, absolutely nothing will happen. E sure me kpai.

By 2026, he will realign with those he needs, ground boys will weaponize poverty, make the elections about tribe, and it would be smooth sailing into another term.

The truth is you will most likely win the bet

It is what it is.

raumdeuter:
As long as conditions in one side is better there will be smuggling regardless of how much you tighten the border

They should get out with their ridiculous lies and excuses. Smuggling has always been in existence.

With the way Tinubu, his appointees and government is moving ehn.... At this point, it's looking like a case of " Na who go die go die, Na who remain go remain"

VAT to be increased to 10%

Yinmu,na pay make Messi comot Barca and didn't get the proper send off he deserved,Why didn't he play for free when Barca was broke and was almost going into administration

Nigerians can cap careless when they are not on the receiving end of an unfair treatment.

Even Messi wey be billionaire no gree collect paycut, na person wey still dey struggle to secure the bag dem expect to take paycut

That's what I heard on radio, several persons called in to confirm, that the prices were being changed in their presence.

The price has been adjusted at NNPC Awolowo way, Ikoyi to N855/Liter this morning.

It is official!

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao.. I dey inside queue, conoil stop to sell.
They are about to increase price live😂.

This shiiit happened to me on May 29th 2023 after the most useless inaugural speech ever.

The thing can be very painful

Patiently waiting for Seyi Tinubu to tell us to bear with his father and that he understands how we feel

iamoyindamola:
Omo I am scared
I don't think people will wait till then
It's never been this so very bad

The thing is if the protesters wait till October sef, government will find a way to disrupt the protest. If the protest doesn’t start soon, then Tinubu has won

If by October 1st there’s no revolt in this country , I will believe indeed juju is real and Tinubu’s juju man is the greatest juju man that ever liveth.

GloriousGbola:
if they dont reach the actual price, the smuggling will continue.

it is what it is, and it is 101% fked up

all this talk about banning jerrycans, stopping people with jerrycans in their cars, is about curbing smuggling.

quite literally they are doing diversion in stations.

black marketers come with 5 to 10 50 litre jerrycans even when there is no scarcity

Is it under APC that smuggling started ?

Since I was in primary school smugglers have always existed .

APC is just a party that blames everything and everyone for its self inflicted woes. They have blamed people , blamed things and even blamed God. 🤦‍♂️

If smuggling is the problem , isn’t it expected that they give the agency responsible for curbing smuggling ( customs) an ultimatum to reduce smuggling to the barest minimum ?

Why do they always think everybody is daft to believe all these their mumbo jumbo excuse for incompetence ?

Theflint1:
It's official... nnpc outlets selling at 865/liter.

Na wa o.

I stayed on queue to buy at MRS for N613 on Friday and made sure I filled my tank.

Chai!

Balablue don finish this country

Why does Dr. Olusupo Olusi not have a LinkedIn page where one can check “his wealth of experience “ he’s bringing to the bank?

Some of those who support this government in the shabbish way they removed the fuel subsidy will be kicking themselves now because of how gullible they were to have believed Tinubu and his aristocratic government.

A government that claimed the only way to curb smuggling fuel across border is to remove subsidy completely and that was what Tinubu did on his fist day in office.

Over the months, evidence suggested the government still paid subsidy but people already baptized in the emilokan River kept insisting and defending subsidy is gone forever.

Several months after, the government they spent quality time defending it's lies goes ahead to confirm subsidy still exists but has been baptized and given new names like under-recovery, shortfall, etc.

Now the same government is saying to further curb the smuggling activities they were supposed to have curbed earlier ; they need to sell fuel over 1k per liter . 🤦‍♂️

Is this not the point where u ask urself : “Is this administration favoring me and my family like the APC twitter influencers made me announce in may/june 2023 ?”

It has happened !

Emilokan gang; over to thee!

Ask yourself, is it still favoring u and ur family in Jesus name?

afrodoc2:
All this is not necessary. That Coastal Highway never made sense.

Sorry. It made sense only after i saw the Chagoury name linked to it.

Tinubu has to be the on top of the list of Nigerian president's that don't give a 4ck about optics and conflict of interests. He runs things like mafia.

How can u be so self unaware as to awarding contracts to someone like Chagoury without even giving any 4cks?

Spy360:
The discussion was on the consistency of the referee decision

My initial post u quoted was me addressing a fan who claimed not to have seen what Rice did wrong. Nothing concern me with ref consistency ; it's an external factor which we have no control over.

The best we can do is for our players to be at their best behavior so that we won't be on the receiving end of decisions that we begin to question.

Spy360:
I am not arguing this. But Rice was not the only person that committed that kind of foul in that game. If Rice was punished, shouldn't the ref be punished for lack of consistency?

We shouldn't be only looking at Rice but also the ref

Go and read my post again. I already said u can fault the ref for his mistakes in other part of officiating that day, but he's not wrong sending Rice off. Rice asked for it and he got served.

Simple!

iamoyindamola:
It's normal for opponent players to stand to avoid quick start
Everyone knows the ref was wrong to issue out second yellow

Something people get yellow card for is normal?

Rice had it coming and that was it.

Lush100:
And the ref is a professional ref.

You can't apply a rule earlier which was clear and obvious but you can do so for a not clear but not too obvious.
Pls play us another piano.
If that's the case we don't need a ref then.
I watched the video I was expecting a dissent or a ballooned ball.
Na person wey don dey waka without looking they penalised .
It's a millisecond rice saw the ball....no time to premeditate what he was to do.,
N.a. so handball go turn penalty?

If Rice had walked away from the free kick spot, all these shalayes won't be necessary.

I'm sure u can't really explain what Rice was doing so close to their box 18 preventing Veltman (a defender) from playing a freekick that is of no consequence.

iamoyindamola:
Ask blueraydick why arsenal and psg backed out

Did Arsenal sign a number 9 eventually?

Isn't it obvious Arteta was not interested in signing or playing a number 9?

As for PSG, I didn't follow them and don't know anything about their transfer decisions; so I'm not in the best place to give u answers on that

Simple! because Tinubu needs to award a contract to his friend Gilbert Chagoury.

EmmanuelScott1:
Bro go and follow the story well, Osimhen and his agent fumbled themselves.

You're the one making a mistake. Osimhen signed a deal with Napoli so that they can allow him to leave next summer transfer.

OSIMHEN CLEARLY STATED "I DON'T WANT TO PLAY FOR YOU NEXT SEASON".

why are you blaming Napoli, the player made his choice and you're blaming the club for honouring his choice. Lol

Please post a link to the bold let me read and learn. We learn everyday

kingBolton:
Like I said in when I quoted you days back.. Most of them on this board are looking at this deal with a blue tinted glass.

Osimhen a 25 yr old striker in his prime, an age where most footballers sign the biggest contract of their career and they want him to reduce his salary.

This is not even the Chelsea of old that guarantees him trophy or competes at the highest level, so what does he gets in return for agreeing to a pay cut?

Even scrubs that moves from Italian seria a to PL gets a pay raise but they want the African footballer of the year and balon dor number 8 to take a pay cut, pay cut to come and play in the conference league.

This same player had a contract agreed with PSG, if not for Napoli's uselessness Chelsea will not even be in the running for him.

The funny thing is it's not just Chelsea fans alone sef; there are Nigerians who don't like Osimehn's guts, there are Nigerians who are disappointed with his performance at AFCON and then there are those who don't like how he handled his spat with Finidi George.

All these people form econet on top this Osimehn transfer saga begin troll am as if he's the first player to have a botched transfer saga.

I'm sure if the player involved was not named Osimehn, most people would've been objective enough to see that Napoli sef na one kind yeye club. A club that can't really pint out to one reasonable reason why they are hell-bent on driving their best player away less than a year after giving him a bumper contract in reward for his service to them.

EmmanuelScott1:
Oga sterling dey your club, are you guys not paying half of his salary?

Osimhen agent said "no loan", and now he's accepting a loan.

Galatasaray that want to sign him on loan now, Napoli will pay some of Osimhen wages.

The paycut salary Chelsea offered is because Chelsea second offer included a loan and obligation to buy which is left for Chelsea to discuss his wages with him and Napoli won't any hand in his wages anymore.

Osiii his friend oshoala, if e sure oshoala that she's saying the truth, make she drop the conversation with Osimhen.

Ridiculous offer, why don't she disclose that ridiculous offer, make I believe her pass Fab.

So since the offer Chelsea offered no suit him, why didn't he accept Saudi offer.

Summary of everything u've written here is Emotions, Emotions and Emotions.

No two loans/deals are one and same. The fact that u are I are jumping into conclusions based on Sterling's situation is enough to show I are discussing a topic u don't have a full details about.

The real question is " who runs a club like Napoli owners do?" You give ur star player an improves contract in December 2023 and by August 2024 u want to bundle him out at all cost? Why? Because u feel u need to sell him to buy more players even if he's not interested in his suitors. Smh

It's funny how it's Nigerians that should be having his back that are his own antagonists

EmmanuelScott1:
You don't understand how loan works. Sterling is on loan at arsenal, and Chelsea is covering half of his wages. Osimhen agent said "no loan". If Osimhen accepted the loan offer from Chelsea, the salary he's earning in Napoli will still be intact. How it's payed will be Chelsea and Napoli matter.

The paycut was when Chelsea included obligation to buy because his agent rejected the initial dry loan offer.

U are just analyzing what u have no full picture of.

People like Asisat Oshoala who are Close to the player spoke about how ridiculous Chelsea's offer was.

I don't know if it's the disappointment of him not joining Chelsea that is making some of u guys troll him or what exactly.

Most of u guys are not Seeing Napoli for what they are ; a poorly run club that always end up selling their top talents for crumbs after initial shakara. That was the same they did With Koulibaily

iamoyindamola:
Sterling will take number 10

For player wey dey on loan? Na wa o

Spy360:
You're ignoring the fact that Veltman threw the ball into Rice's path from behind him. You are also not accepting that the ref overreacted. And then that the ref wasn't consistent because twice in the same game Brighton players did similar things and were not cautioned.

I will not like you to be my brother. You will blame me for every fight I get into.

Rice is a professional footballer, the rules are the rules.

If u obstruct a free kick it is a yellow card; this is not about sentiments.

You can fault the ref for not penalizing a Brighton player for similar offence but it doesn't take away the fact that Rice committed a bookable of fence.

Rice did absolute nonsense with that singular act. It's not like Veltman will score directly into our goal post if Rice had allowed him play the free kick.

The crazy thing in all of this is that Rice was even attempting a useless dribble before Veltman gained the ball which led to Rice fouling him resulting in the controversial free kick.

raumdeuter:
Let me see your Picture to give a fair assessment

But for real GloriousG has some balls(No pun intended). I mean those kind comments dey make females vex no be small o

Jodera:
I don't remember anybody here not happy with him for diving. Perhaps opposition fans maybe.

The only one we were aggrieved against his diving (esp I) was against Neuer cos that diving was all shades of poor dive(leaving the ball and jumping into Neuer leg). Esp when it's a one on one chance (and not 50/50 ball) that would have put us ahead.

Aside that, I don't know or remember anyone not happy with him for diving

Diving is not something u should be blaming a player for not doing well. Diving itself is a punishable offence in football; It can always go against us .

Let him just play his normal game abeg and let's take our chances when they present themselves.

Thank you.

Jodera:
Tbh, Saka should learn how to dive and he should be good at it while doing it(if that's what he really wants)

When Havertz played that big chance and it rebounded to saka, a Brighton defender recklessly slided through to Saka but he evaded it. That's exactly the kind of ones he should be looking to initiate contact with and fall down not all those ones he was doing (esp against Bayern). See how Havertz did his own against Bournemouth last season.

I knew how I smh immediately Saka evaded that tackle esp in that situation(when there were so many bodies around the goal side)

Arsenal fans are difficult to please. Last season Saka was diving and I remember some of us were not happy with him.
