3 hours on queue You are a very patient person oh. Black market people no dey your area?

No queues here, but despite that I can't remember the last time I bought fuel from fuel stations. I see it as a waste of time.

The difference between black market and filling station price is like day and night. You will buy 568 at NNPC , 630 or thereabouts at MRS and black market like 1,000 to 1,200 per liter.

If u want to buy like 50 liters, you will buy for N28,400 at NNPC, N31,500 at MRS and N60,000 at black market.

Nobody will teach you patience , u will just have it ; especially if it is weekend when u are not going to work.

I also don't think he has attitude problem but I think that video he made will make Arteta and edu not look towards his direction. That to me will be a big red flag for them. I don't know about other clubs Sha

Xhaka after a poor performance in our game vs Crystal Palace told the fans to 4ck off(because they booed him after a poor performance), Pulled off his Arsenal Jersey(as a captain o) , threw his shirt on the floor and went straight to the tunnel after being subbed off.

If Arteta and Edu are whom u are trying to paint them up there, I don't they would've worked with Xhaka at all. In fact, Arteta would've binned him immediately he was appointed as manager after Emery left. Guess what? that same Arteta managed Xhaka and turned him to a player the fans grew to love once again.

Make una no dey pain these people like some African elderly parent that will bittch-slap u for even arguing with them. Areta is a professional, the players are professionals as well; they understand things can get heated and players can get over their own head. All these talk about red flags, why is it coming up only when Osimehn an African player is involved. Even Suarez wey dey bite people played for top managers till he moved to MLS.

What is the rationale behind increasing the minimum age to sit for WAEC to 18?

The policy does not make sense in a country where ASUU strike can take two years of ur life , waiting for NYSC can take one year and prospective employer will be looking to employ graduates not above the age of 25.

I want to believe after a lot of cries the FG will fold as usual and the policy will never be implemented.

see the bolded, that's the major problem we have in Nigeria. Those people begging him to allow the hilux pass are the typical average Nigerians; they exhibit that character in every facet of life. They are always willing to let people with bad behavior get away with it without thinking of the effect it has on others.

Recently I was at a filling station on queue to buy fuel after spending close to 3 hours on the slow-moving queue. I was just like 3 to 4 vehicles from entering the filling station when one lady who was on an illegal parallel queue just attempted to join the queue in the front.

That was how one finished man allowed her to enter when the queue moved. Everyone behind this ediiot were furious , but the man was saying we should chill that she's just a lady na. Omo, I've never felt that much anger before.

The crazy thing was that just while I was about driving in, the manager of the filling station asked them to lock the gate and not allow any car drive in again. They want to sell for only those within the premises and stop selling. I had to struggle to drive in before they locked the gate o. The cars behind me weren't lucky simply because the yeye man allowed someone not on queue initially join the queue; and others not on queue seized the opportunity as well.

Yea.. he will give us a presence inside the box but his other aspect of playing is average. His major weakness is his ball-playing. He will be good for plan B especially during 'rush hour' but then spending 100m on a plan B is somehow.

And please chance is chance whether na national team or club side. Although I'm not ruling out the fact that he can tremendously improve but will he be fit enough?

As for your last paragraph, many fans don't know how thorough Edu and Arteta can be when it comes to transfer. Edu mentioned three of the things they look out for in a player before marking him as a target. The wage, age and i think performance. Remind me what was Auba's offence when he was left out of the team. Our only clinical striker o. Our captain o. And Blueray want us to believe they can't use that Finidi incident to rule him out. Should we even talk about how he shouts at his teammates during matches.

See if they sign him fine, if they don't, fine. Whatever I say here doesn't really matter. I no dey part of Arsenal staff.

Tell us what Auba did. And tell us if Osimehn has acted in such manner to any of his club coaches.

I dislike the fact that u can't point out any single incident where Osimehn has been found wanting as a professional in his club sides ; but yet you keep questioning his professionalism.

So u think if Arsenal signs Osimehn he will be a plan B ?

I don't even think you watch Osimehn well enough going by ur claim up there that aside for his presence in the box, there's nothing else to write home about him. For your information, Osimehn is well known for his presence in the box, his athleticism, strength, directness, runs into space, eye for goal and linkup play. Maybe u should take some time to watch his clips sha

I watched a video of Merino answering questions on Arsenal tiktok and I was surprised how fluent his English. It was from the comment section I was now seeing that he was at Newcastle around 2017; even at that I'm still surprised at how clear his English.

His English clear pass Arteta own sef. I guess that's a plus for the team since he speaks English he won't have issues communicating with teammates.

mostob:
So now, it has now changed from me not liking him to me running away? OK.

And I will like you to point out where I said he had issue with his coaches at Lille, Wolfsburg and Napoli o.


And my stance still remain that Osimhen is not exactly who we need to lead the line now. He is good in his own way but I would rather we sign a wide forward and let the goals come from different angles. And if Edu and Arteta think otherwise, it is not my business sha. So far so good, I don't think he is even in the conversation.

Peace

If u had said U want a wide forward to be signed instead of a CF it would’ve made sense . Instead you claimed a player who scored 65 league goals in 108 matches as “not prolific “ .

You claimed he has attitude issues because of one single incident he had with the coach of his national team. How do u judge a player by one single incident in which he was provoked by reports about what the coach said about him in the media ?

The fact that u have confirmed he didn’t have any issues with any of his club coaches is enough to trash the “attitude “ point u’ve been mouthing all day.

If Arsenal decides to sign him , I will say he’s 100% welcome . If we decide to sign another striker I’m perfectly fine with that as well. But maligning him
And claiming he’s not an upgrade from Gabriel Jesus who is not known for scoring goals is what I just find funny

mostob:
Finidi was called to a meeting after the second match. He was questioned about how the players turned up late to camp and other acts that were unprofessional. He answered and ended with a statement about how he can't beg any player to play. Owngoal reported their own version and mentioned Osimhen. That was what prompted Osimhen to go live and started cursing and throwing insults. But Blueraydick said Finidi did a presser.

The number one issue I mentioned is his injury which is valid.
The number two is his clinicality which is also valid. As good as Osimhen is, he misses chances a lot which is a valid concern for a player were going to buy for 100m.
His attitude is also a valid concern. I cited Toney as an example. Auba too is another example. Xhaka's issue is with the fans. He has never insulted his coach publicly.

So, what exactly are we arguing here gangan? Na wa o

The only valid concern is the injury concern ; any other point u mentioned are moot points. A striker that misses chance a lot scored 26 goals in a season to win golden boot.

Do u even know how u sound ? 😂

When last did Gabriel Jesus score 20 goals ?

Attitude kor, Verbal reasoning ni

mostob:
I knew it will generate into me not liking Osimhen when this argument started. So predictable.

As for the bolded, you go like prove where Finidi threw Osimhen under the bus during presser? When was the presser done? Just a link is enough. Do you even know about his outburst against Ikpeba after that WC qualifier against Ghana? Of course no.
The only reference I made about his hot headedness is there on the internet. Everybody is aware. Na you know where you see Wolfsburg and Lille o.

Just dey argue unnecessarily.

You are running away and deflecting from the crux of the matter .

Is Osimhen hot headed than Xhaka who made gestures at Arsenal fans right there on the pitch ? Did Arteta not manage Xhaka and turn him to the fan’s favorites once again?

You boldly claimed a player who won a golden boot in a major league in Europe is not a prolific striker . What further evidence does one need to confirm u just don’t like him ?

Have u provided any evidence that he’s had issues with his coaches in any of the teams he’s played till date ?

Victor Ikpeba called him out and he asked him to shut up. Players like Ronaldo, Messi , Zlatan, etc have at different times told their critics to STFU. I don’t see anybody use it to judge their footballing ability .

mostob:
I gave three valid reasons sha but you just chose to ignore them. You may not see his bad side but his transfer issue should tell you something.

About his attitude, everybody know he is hot-headed. Imagine going live to insult your own coach. To think he was even reacting to a fake report o. Maybe Mourinho might overlook this, but Arteta? I doubt. Let me tell you that was not the first time he would be in the news for the wrong reason.

As for the other point you mentioned about being prolific or not, It is your opinion and I respect it. But at this stage, we should sign someone better please. Someone who will not only offer us goals but contribute in other aspects as well.

It is not my opinion that Osimehn is a prolific striker , it is a fact. The Golden boot he won in Serie A is an evidence of that fact.

Just say u don’t like Osimehn and stop beating around the bush .

Osimmehn told Finidi he was not fit and needs to continue rehabilitation so he won’t be able to feature in the match vs South Africa. Osimhen then opted to stay in Camp just to motivate his fellow players .

When Finidi was doing a presser and was asked about Osimehn not starting the South African match , Finidi threw him under the bus by saying he can’t force osimhen to play for super eagles .

That statement painted Osimehn as being fit but not wanting to play for the team . He lost his cool and reacted brashly by doing that live video; an action he later regretted .

Stop making it seem like Osimehn is some troublesome player who is always having issues with his coaches . Ives asked u to bring evidence that Osimehn was having issues with his coaches in Lille, Wolfsborg and Napoli but I don’t bring any.

Just say u don’t like Osimehn. Xhaka that was really really hot headed , Arteta managed him .

As a striker, if you can't offer anything else aside scoring, then be so good with goals.
Haaland is not a good dribbler, I don't think he has that passing skill set sef but scoring goals, he is a boss.

Said it here how I hit head on the window early last season when Havertz missed a sitter 😂
Make we con add Osimhen join?

Jesus was playing street football against Wolves in MD1, and now he is out injured again. Una still say make we add Osimhen?

Let's not even talk about his attitude. In a club where Arteta is the coach o?

I don't even understand the point u are trying to make.

Everybody has been asking Arteta to sign a striker who can actually score goals; here is Osimhen who has scored goals enough to win him golden boot in an elite league in Europe and suddenly he no longer fit the profile of a quality striker. How? Explain.

If ur concern is about injury, that is a genuine concern which everybody shares about him.

I repeat again, none of our current striker options is as good as Osimehn when it comes to scoring goals; If u have data that suggests otherwise please provide it.

Which attitude does Osimehn have at all clubs he has played for? Show us evidence of his coaches in the respective clubs he has played for complaining about that attitude. I know it is the spat he had with Finidi George that is making u talk about "attitude" . The funny thing is it was Finidi's lack of man management that led to the spat between them.

iamoyindamola:
How's osihmeh better than Jesus na
65 goals that 70% of it are head and PK
He's also not clinical

Is head not part of the body allowed for playing football?

Oya bring evidence that bulk majority of his goals are PK.

Just say u don't like him instead of cooking up data that don't exist just to disparage him as a quality striker.

Shegzdave:
I’m also shocked about what they’re saying about Osihmen , like you said asides his injury issues, there no reason why he shouldn’t lead our frontline.

Gabriel Jesus to Osihmen

As in...very funny comparison between Osimehn and Jesus

mostob:
His injury record and off-field issues. I mean there was a rumour that the top guys at Arsenal don't really like Toney's attitude so they ruled him out.

Also, he is not exactly clinical. We watched his questionable misses at AFCON now.

What do u mean by he's not clinical? Someone that scored 65 goals in 108 appearances in the serie A is not clinical?

All these rumor about attitude, where do u hear it from?

The only genuine concern here is his injury record and nothing else.

iamoyindamola:
Osihmen is not an upgrade to the striker we want
He's no different from Jesus one day on one day off
I will rather give martinelli the striking position than buy osihmeh

How is no different from Jesus?

Just say u don't like him as a person and we will understand.

Osimehn is a proven goal scorer who has won golden boot in a league. He is the first African to be the highest goal scorer in the Serie A.

He's scored 65 goals in 108 appearances in the Serie A. By all stats of measuring a striker Osimehn dwarfs Jesus.

iamoyindamola:
I hate to say this but we might likely get osihmeh as he's the only available CF in the market unless we wan do Chelsea(hijack) for forest by taking gimenez from them

E go pain me with this osihmeh, we left the striker thing too late
They know nketiah will eventually go they know

Oga oo

Osimehn is a better goalscorer than any of our current striker . Why will it pain u if we sign him?

iamoyindamola:
Now that nketiah is gone
Do we need a striker or not

We will definitely sign a new attacker before the window closes. We only have Havertz as the only fit striker for now; we can't risk having just one fit striker.

oliverano:
Lol, Citeh are one of the, if not the most hated team in world football especially since Pep took over. People genuinely want them relegated, not just to the championship but to adminstration level. It's not just banter, it's pure hate.

Yes, they're really hated and if you follow the news, you'll know!

As in.... Man city that the whole of EPL want the 115 charges to catch up with so they either get major point deduction or lengthy transfer ban.

In fact city get serious hate-watchers pass some traditional top 4 teams sef.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Lol. Please I didn't insult you ooo..... Arsenal should keep Striving then.......

I also didn't insult you, I only pointed it out that you don't understand the definition you provided by yourself.

Amigoss:
No....Create a poll on there and ask between them hatewatching city to call quardiola a bald fraud and a sugar daddy club which they are one themselves vs arsenal winning the league, which they will rather choose....

I never said they don't hate watch city but versus other epl rivals winning titles, they will rather choose guardiola winning...

You practically said no one hate-watches city up there na.

If u didn't say that, we won't be having this discussion at all.

Ihebu4chelsea:
the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others. Last time I checked, Man city won the League Four times in a row So No body is actually competing against them in the real Sense. Unless you want to decieve yourself!

English is certainly not your First, second and even third language.

If you understand use of English, then you would've taken cognizance of the bolded.

The only team in the last two years that has been striving to win or gain superiority over man city is actually Arsenal. That was why I referred you to the last two season's league table when you were asking JAMB question.

Amigoss:
No,there is a reason United fans,their legends would rather city their rival win the league,break ferguson record and legacy than arsenal and liverpool win the epl....

Even on nairaland,every other fan base never cared if guardiola turned the league to farmers,they rather it than arsenal winning the epl...

Certainly, U are living in ur own alternate universe.

Wetin concern me and united? I'm talking about people calling Guardiola fraud, people calling city a sugar daddy club , etc because of their success with Guardiola.

There's no need to manufacture alternative facts when the fact is right there on Chelsea thread almost every season.

Ihebu4chelsea:
is that your definition of Competition?

What is the definition of competition in ur dictionary?

Ihebu4chelsea:
Boss, Are you sure you are competing with Man city?

Go and check the last two year's EPL table for the answer.

Amigoss:
No one hate watch city aside the UCL(before they won it) and to troll guardiola,City are inconsequential....

People have been hate watching city since the day Guardiola joined. If u believe otherwise, then it means u are living in ur own world alone by urself.

Jodera:
The guy is too intelligent. He's a defender that really combines physique, intelligence and speed to great effect. The way he handles great players without breaking sweat just leaves me in awe. No wonder most epl strikers dey run go either Gabriel side to try their luck (but even that one don turn werey). Haaland and Isak are notable mentions.

I'm still in shock in what he did in this situation this weekend. I was already expecting a goal from this only for Saliba to appear from no where to intercept, omorr see as I shout in glee

It was at the Euros I confirmed his greatness. He literally showed Deschamps what he was missing; a lot of people that thought he was hyped saw him at the Euros and confirmed he is who he is. Like within the space of a year he was in EPL team of the year and Euros team of the tournament; his consistency is commendable.

Jodera:
Lol... I can't forget the bolded. Brendan Rodgers was already celebrating sef.

That hate watch is true. Of all these clubs, na Liverpool get the least hate watch. I no know wetin dey that club wey people deh hardly beef them

Loserpool don't really have much fans in Nigeria like that. When I was growing up where we used to watch matches back then, we only had 3 Loserpool fans there. Even when they score and they jubilate their voice is hardly heard unlike Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd fans.

I think the years when they were in the wilderness also affected them.

That bitch there will be forming feminist 😂😂😂

This video just confirmed what my friend in Ireland told me weeks ago when I asked him about racism over there and all. He said some Nigerians actually do too much, especially female who now have permanent residency (either by marriage or dagbo means)

He said a lot of ladies like the lady in that video are actually very saucy and they disrespect Irish citizens at every chance they get. He said they are always trying to prove they are equals with them and they go about it in a disrespectful manner.

He said some of the things they do or say will even make u a fellow Nigerian vex. Just look at the lady provoking the man unnecessarily.
