It looks like Abuja read my comment on this thread a few days ago, and decided to take heed to my advice on selling some of the presidential jets😁
Buhari also put the jets for sale and ended up not selling any of them . Let’s hope Tinubu’s government eventually sells them.

I remember this game well well
Even though I wanted Korea to win I was clueless to what the ref was doing I never cared anyways.
Fvcking Italians 😂😂
I don’t remember watching this match because of the awkward timing of Korea-Japan , but I remembered the Portugal Vs Netherlands 2006. Almost everyone on the pitch copped either a yellow card or red card .

Blatter weyrey even trolled the ref that he should’ve given himself a yellow card for the officiating of the match 😂

[color=royalblue]We don't need any law. The people themselves should be able to think!

I watched a reel where Buba Galadima was told that poor people are dying because of hardship, and he bluntly said "Let them die"

He went on to explain that the poor people are our problem, because they will sell their conscience, vote nonsense and then start wailing for the next 4 years.
[/color]
He is mad for blaming the people for the failure of the political class .

The fact that he even thinks like that shows most of them are so detached from reality of the common man in this country .

In the real sense of things , how many votes can politicians actually buy to win election ? Most times poor people vote for nonsense politicians not because of the money they flashed in their face but fraudulent campaign promises the politicians will later fail to fulfill.

For example Buba Galadima was Buhari’s wingman for years in the CPC . When CPC later merged with ACN and others to form APC; Buhari had his shot at presidency and campaigned making lots of promises that centered around change . A lot of people bought into it and for 8 years all Buhari did was either having Femi Adesina deny he ever made such promises or claiming he has done his best without any visible evidence .

How much money did Buhari spend to buy votes ? I can bet he didn’t spend 1/10 of what Jonathan had in the war chest in 2014/2015.

Even for governorship and house of assembly elections it is almost the same thing . U see a governorship or HOA candidate going to backwater riverine communities where they don’t have electricity , pipe borne water , schools etc . They go promise them social amenities when voted in. After election they renege on their promise and then use incumbency power to win re-election .

I believe the fraction of people who sell their vote for money cannot really win politicians elections , that’s why they resort to other gimmicks like introducing campaign promises they can’t fulfill , tribalism , religious sentiments , etc to get more voters to their side .

They're probably demanding for some % of minutes and that may be s problem. Smh. Must we lose our talents till e taya us?
I doubt this is the case. It makes no sense for him to be demanding for minutes when he has couple of senior players ahead of him in the pecking order that are still hustling for minutes.

It will most likely have to do with money i.e. an improved contract Or maybe the club wants him to go on loan & he feels he should just leave to try his luck elsewhere.

This is what you wrote na! Please mention the other teams with less talented players
Lolz. It's either u chose to deliberately read that out of context or u just think u've found an escape route.

Okay let me break it down to u.

It makes no sense to be using Southgate's trophyless 8 year tenure to rate him simply because on paper it looks like he got better results than his predecessors; while in actual fact there are coaches like the Croatian coach who has done well with a less talented team within the same time frame.

Those are his contemporaries. Why are u scared of rating Southgate side by side with his competitors? Southgate has Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Saka, Walker, Stones, Palmer, Kane,Bellingham etc who are some of the best talents in World football as at today; Judge Southgate on what he's been able to do with them abeg.

If you outperform your predecessors, what's called?

Is Capello, who is a multiple Seria A winner mediocre? A Champions League winner! Is Goran Eriksson mediocre?

What did their so called golden generation of 2006 achieve?

And then again, mention the teams apart from Croatia which is even Debatable with less talented players that are outperforming Southgate?
Are u even listening to urself ? I should mention teams that are less talented but outperfroming Southgate?

What happen to Southgate with superstars at his disposal outperforming his contemporaries? Southgate has not even won UEFA Nations league with the plethora of talents at his disposal, but u dey enter history book comparing him with those that managed England 50 years ago.

Show workings abeg; I mean correct workings. Show what Southgate has been able to achieve while competing against his mates from other countries.

Na so una do support Buhari for 8 years till he wreck this country angry

The managers before him in the span of 50 years, what did they achieve?

There was a time England could not even qualify for Euros.

For 10 years before Southgate, England did win a Knockout game.

Southgate came and England made it to semis of two major tournaments back to back and made it to the final in one ( 2018 World Cup/ 2020 Euros). That's progress if you ask me.

The so called golden generation, what did they win?
That is not how to make a reasonable argument for how good a manager has been . You don’t go back to 50 years and start measuring the performance of current manager with that of his predecessors .

Instead , u check the performance of his competitors with similar crop of players and see how he’s fared . For example, the Croatia manager has been a more successful manager than Southgate ; and there’s no way u can convince me Southgate didn’t have more talented players at his beck and call within the same time frame.

The English FA would be fooolish to allow Southgate keep his job because he performed better than other mediocre English coaches in the past 50 years while other teams with less talented players are outperforming Southgate’s

Until he's given the job then qualifying for major tournaments becomes rocket science.

I don't rate Southgate but I don't think Lampard is good enough for the English job.
I’m definitely not recommending Lampard for England job; he’s another terrible football manager .

The fact that I’m even mentioning Lampard in the Southgate conversation is because of how poor Southgate has performed with the talent at his disposal

Absolutely. He should have been sacked after losing a final at Wembley. 4 tournaments with no pattern. But I guess their FA are also as deluded maybe because he's English too. He'll breeze through a poor slovenia- he becomes the English pep.. then they crash when they meet their first test. That has been the recurring stuff with this English team.

Agreed, the Euros is something else, but they can't be worse honestly. I don't buy this 'England are overrated ' nonsense. Southgate is just being dense here. If they let him go midway, at least they might play entertaining football even if they don't win it.
Definitely these present crops of English players are not overrated, they just happen to be coached by a terrible manager who is stealing for a living.

Who are even Southgate's assistants sef ? You know some assistants can actually have better ideas compared to their ogas

Someone said the bolded was a sackable offence. Hinging their performance on someone who left the scene 2 years ago...


Let's not forget Cote D'Ivoire sacked their manager mid way and won the AFCON. I want to believe jurgen klopp is quite idle these days and can spare England 2 weeks of his time. cool
They ought to have sacked him long before now. The good thing about national team football is u don't need to spend millions of pounds to sign a player that is right-fit for ur team. All u need do is invite such quality player and coach him to play the way u want.

Southgate has failed at this and doesn't deserve to continue receiving salary. However, I don't know if sacking him in the middle of the tournament will not even leave them worse off; Euros is not AFCON o

The guy should be fired for such statement saying they can't replace Philip
In the whole England there's no replacement for him, he even said Arnold was an experiment that failed 🤣🤣
He indirectly admitted he's a born failure
Aswear! The guy just keeps getting paid doing nothing.

More like he just fields 11 players he prefers and tells them to "do their thing". grin

The team doesn't look like a team that has any coach's tactical instructions they are following. One could see how the Danes were recycling possession yesterday, like they had a template the coach asked them to follow. Even the Spanish did same yesternight.

House of reps, I might agree but senate is the third most contested election in the country after Presidency and Governorship.
The fact that Senate seat is usually keenly contested doesn't necessarily mean the best brains get elected. My point still stands that if u have money, some political clout and belong to the political party in town, u can find ur way into the senate.

Didn't the late Buruji Kashamu find his way into the senate despite extradition noose hanging around his neck all through while he was alive?

Is it not because he had money, was a philanthropist and a member PDP that he ended up in senate?

In fact, another reason one can find himself in the senate like HOR is if u have the sympathy of the people. U remeber the LP guy that won Chimaroke Nnamani's seat in the senate? The guy's brother (who was the original flagbearer) was assassinated and then the guy picked up his late brother's ticket and today he's a senator. Nobody even knows the guy's educational qualifications, what he's been up to before his brother's assassination, etc.

The guy dey compare results across different generations, discounting the quality of players each manager had available and the quality of opposition each set of players had to face.
The guy is just amusing. grin

Like Southgate has a plethora of young English talents that far surpasses other European teams in the competition but Alhaji Monerozi is busy doing blast from the past comparing Southgate with other English managers.

I don't like people making excuses for failures. To whom much is given, much is expected. How can anybody watch yesterday's match and still be making excuse for Southgate.

I saw one English guy's video online this morning venting for Southgate. The guy was angry because after the abysmal showing yesterday Southgate had the temerity to claim "they missed Kalvin Phillips". How can u be missing a player that has been shiit for 2 years straight? So if Phillips was around, was he going to use two DM's ?

Southgate has so many talents but doesn't know how to field them and somebody is talking about other English managers in the last 50 years. smh

I meant him slipping through the process to the sentate, at least that one was a contest between fellow Esans. He does have some clout, or at least his surname does...I think either him or his brother is a popular philanthropist in that part of the state, and that's what he leveraged to become a senator.
If u mena slipping through the process to senate, well there's actually no reasonable electoral ladder progression to the senate or HOR in this country. Any random person can make it to the senate or HOR in this country.

Like u rightly said, just being a philanthropist who is a member of a popular political party in ur constituency, u can find urself in the HOR or Senate. U may be a former banker, a musician, a comedian, a pastor or even a convicted 419/fraudster in Obodo Oyinbo. grin

I watched Sesko for his country and i was impressed with his screamers, two of which hit the bar. If he's not in the box, he's at a distance where he can shoot hard at goal. Gk stood no chance on both occasions. Knowing how shots are the theme of this Euros, I'll say that was okay for me. Painful that Norway is not here sincerely. But will they even survive?
If they can play as compact as Denmark does with Odegaard dictating as their creative outlet, I believe Norway could stand a chance

As bad as Buhari was, he's still a lot better than this guy...I seriously doubt if this guy has ever spoken in the senate house.

We need dey do better scrutinizing candidates, cause imagine how far someone this unrefined slipped through our electoral process. It's why the whole talk of candidates not doing debates and hiding from public scrutiny is dirty yarns...someone like this Okpebholo guy slipped through the cracks simply by smiling a lot, raising hands to greet people in Esan, and buying beer and pepper soup for boys.
I don't think this guy slipped through any electoral process. The people who fielded and supported him know about his poor academic background, but they know the electorates value tribal sentiments and political clout over quality of leadership & competency.

The way they've been making the election being about Esan's turn just says it all.I don't know much about Edo state politics, but I want to believe He's probably one of the few Esan people with political clout & reach. And that's all. All those talks about him being an air brain no concern them.

The man said before he became senator he owned vehicles more expensive than the N140m SUV they bought for them as senators.

I googled his name Sunday Karimi and can't really find anything on him. Where did he work prior to senate? What kind of business does he do? How many companies does he own?

There was absolutely nothing available to prove his outlandish claim.

I think he messed up by going personal and asking about the type of vehicle Seun drives. Seun cooked him and made him embarrass himself by blabbing all through the rest of the interview grin
