Of all the pictures to use it's an old, very old picture of Tunde. When there are 100's of recent pictures to use. Before their worldwide audience, Africa must look poor.

That is an African inferiority complex speaking right there.

That picture is simply from a previous BBC interview while he was with kids in the slum.

Let's stop to major in the minor abeg. How choice of picture take affect the feat he wan achieve?

Bode Geroge controls the PDP structure in Lagos. He was a member of the "integrity group" which was an extension of the G5.

Bode Geroge kor, Bode lawyer ni

What did PDP score in Lagos at the presidential election?

Maybe u don't know that as far as Lagos is concerned PDP is a dead party, they don't even have any structure whatsoever. All Bode George is anytime an election is coming he collects money from as many people that want to contest under the dead party, do one yeye primary, field the candidate and lose scandalously eventually. The next election cycle rinse and repeat.

I've always maintained here and outside this forum that if PDP wants to have any chance at unseating APC in Lagos, they need to put in work 2-3 years before the election; not the nonsense they do every election cycle in which they will just start pasting poster 9-12 months before an election without proper grassroots mobilization.

Every week APC hold ward meetings whether it is off election season or during election season. They don't just wake few months to election wasting money on posters and advert.

Bode George just dey run gullible people streets, PDP is dead in Lagos.

The influence of the G5 goes way beyond the G5 states.

They had considerable influence in Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo, Kano, Cross Rivers, Plateau, e.t.c.

There's no way Atiku didn't lose at least 1m votes to that foolishness of ignoring 5 governors with influence in other states without PDP governors.

Which of the G5 governors has influence in Lagos? Makinde?

Western legacy media and their poverty fetish when portraying Africa....Agenda is powerful sha.

Where is the poverty fetish in this screenshot? Did I miss it?

Roland17:
FA Cup with the team Emery built? The scraps that Emery built..

Care to check where Arsenal was and the FA cup results before Arteta took over?

Were we not flirting with relegation for 2 seasons when Arteta dared using the scraps Ebening took to the finals of UEL?

The same team Emery didn't use to win anything ?

U see why Arteta was a better fit than Emery ? Emery took same team to the final and got spanked by Chelsea while Arteta came home with a cup .

Theflint1:
With the way these ex governors stay failing at this godfatherism game, one probably has to give Tinubu his flowers for keeping Lagos on lock for as long as he has...but then again, its easier to keep everybody satiated when the pie is as large as Lagos'.

Na the koko be this! The kind money wey dey Lagos ehn; there is bastaard money in Lagos!

Sometimes I just look at all these high rise building on Victoria Island and I begin to wonder how much LASG generates from owners of such buildings in terms of Land use charge, permits, rates and even the taxes companies occupying such buidlings pay to LASG. I mean when u look at buildings like Nestoil lasan.....hmmm

Now Tinubu has made sure APC remains in power so nobody opens the books of the government and start asking where what money goes to. Like u posited, when is as large as Lagos' u can keep everybody in check. Even if ur own boys revolt against u, they will come back crawling and begging like some of the APC guys in Lagos have done in the past. In fact with the kind money in Lagos, u can afford to fund a phantom opposition

Roland17:
In the first place, Arteta was the wrong hire considering the gulf in his level of experience as head coach, especially for a big club. The only reason this is making any respectable argument is because of this lack of experience when he was hired. He has used Arsenal to learn on the job going into 5 years and what do we have to show for it? Is Pep also chasing him in EFL/ FA/ Europa and UCL? Don't forget we barely scaled through Porto.

Alonso is also a new coach, coaching a team with fewer resources but we can see what he has done across all competitions, especially when it matters.

Remind me the position Arsenal "the big club" was when Arteta was signed. How many top coach wanted the Arsenal job? Please mention their names and let's see how those coaches have fared in their respective clubs after Arsenal signed Arteta ahead of them.

We need to put these things into context.

Roland17:
He is flopping in EFL/ FA/ Europa and now UCL...Are those also because of Pep?

But he won one FA cup na. And yes he's not yet there in Europe

Roland17:
It is not about taking him before previous hires. He is going into his 5th year with nothing tangible, 4 largest tenured, 5th highest paid and scheduled to be top 2 when Klopp leaves, both clubs would have fired him.

In that 5 years period how many coaches not named Pep or Klopp have won the EPL?

I know u don't really fancy Arteta but we need to be fair to him when making these assessments. If he was competing against Conte, Emery, Ranieri, Enrique, etc I would also give him a huge stick. Except we want to claim Pep or Klopp are push overs and Arteta should be piping them to the league

Roland17:
Na fam, just stop. Ebening had fewer resources but finished 6th and at least took us to the Europa Final against Chelsea where the disparity in quality made the difference.

Arteta would have been fired by United and Chelsea by now..1000%

The difference is that Arteta actually won a cup and not just get to the final. He didn't lose scandalously to Chelsea in the final. Thank God both of them played Chelsea in the respective Finals they took us to.

Ebening lost scandalously to Chelsea while Arteta won against Chelsea.

Guess what? Arteta won the cup with almost same team bar for some older players like Kosiencly & Monreal that left.

That singular feat bought all the time he needed to build his own team that has gone neck-to-neck with City in the last two seasons

Roland17:
Please he should go if the opportunity ever becomes available.. You seriously think a team like United or Chelsea will keep Arteta going into 5 years with nothing tangible to show? While ruining their academies? I ca assure you Arteta would have been fired by both clubs by now.. 100%

Neither club is as patient as Arsenal have been.

Those two clubs will take Arteta over the two miserable coaches they have presently. That is a fact.

Everybody can see what Arteta has done with this team, if u choose not to see it fine.

I actually want him sacked so I can see the miracle worker we will sign that will win us EPL & UCL in his first season while competing against Guardiola's city in the league and other top clubs in Europe

raumdeuter:
What has Arteta done wrong to deserve a sack at Arsenal

And which other club at any league in Europe is doing better given the same circumstance

Pep we all acknowledge as the GOAT of all coaches has his own issues too. with losing games and titles

Or shey na Klopp that has 1 league titles in 8 appearances.

You can talk about losing to Sporting on PK, Klopp lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta in the same UEL

I co-ask o.

So it was Kepa that advised Lunin on how to catch Bernardo's PK ?

I knew There was just something unusual about how Lunin saved that Pk casually

Quote me when Israel directly attack Iran🇮🇷 not using non state actors.

Lolz.

Person wey inform other superpowers say he wan attack and he attack . Just dey play

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
If Israel get ball dey should claim responsibility of the attack like Iran did. No be today Israel start to dey use non state actors to attack 🇮🇷.

ABC News and CBS News had reported earlier that Israel had carried out a military operation in Iran.

Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said the US told the Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers that it had been “informed at the last minute” by Israel about an attack on Iran.

“But there was no sharing of the attack by the US. It was a mere information,” Tajani told reporters in Capri, Italy, where the G7 ministers met.

Dey there make pant dey wear u. Israel go come whisper into ur ear that " Okpa o, na we carry out the attack"

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
News dey front page bro if you can't verify from Reuters

Even ur own screenshot says they are downplaying the incident. Abi downplaying don get another meaning?

raumdeuter:
More and more of these Arab countries are seeking peace and stylishly rejecting extremism, They have seen Qatar UAE Saudi Bahrain Oman enjoying some peace while the people disturbing them are rebels like Houthis Hamas sponsored by Iran

Prosperity is sweet, sweeter than extremism

Only Iran and Palestine want to live all their lives plotting how to destroy Israel wey get nuclear weapon

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
He said the incident leans towards infiltration than external attack. In order words the drones were probably fired from inside Iranian territory. This is non state actors. Or an espionage attack right inside Iran. Good luck linking the attack to Israel when Israel has not claimed responsibility.


When Israel attack Iran🇮🇷 directly, Iran will respond.

U go explain tire

see as u dey Nigeria dey epp Iran explain with the use of unsure words like "Probably, Or, In other words," .....etc

germaphobe:
Arsenal fans are quick to forget not just Nigerian fans but English fans too. Just a 2:0 loss to Aston villa and they left before the final whistle, same thing they said against man utd and ended up missing the winning goals.

Saying Arsenal is shit as they were before is the most delusional and hypocritical statement I have ever heard from a fan. Same Arsenal that most of us stopped watching their matches, same Arsenal that was on the edge of going to relegation untill covid happened, same Arsenal that haven't been to the quarter finals of the UCL for over a decade no matter the opponent they met, same Arsenal that at some point was hard admitting to being a fan. Abeg tell me another tale other than sack Arteta(which I know that Josh and his father with the board can't even imagine).
So because we're playing some good football after years of being shit some fans think we will go unbeaten for 15 epl matches

Bayern loss wasn't panful but Aston villa was, but that doesn't mean I should call for the sack of Arteta, those same rival fans that troll Arsenal now won't hesitate to grab Teta if he's offered to their club.

Chelsea and Man utd will lick their lips should Arteta join them today

raumdeuter:
At the bold, shey you don concede this season already?

If the bold us the criteria then Ferguson who lost 2 finals to Guardiola is the lead bottler

How many leagues have Mourinho, Klopp Conte lost to Pep

I guess every coach is a bottler

I'm a very practical person. Our chances of winning the league is slimmer than the other two contenders considering the quality of our opponents in the last games.

abi o. Na everybody be bottler against Pep

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Is that not what you guys did when Iran retaliated. Asking about death toll and casualties in Israel. FFK is simply trolling Israel

Nothing concern me with whether he dey troll or he no dey troll . I asked u where is Iran's retaliation within seconds they promised and ur response is the screenshot of some jobless loosed mouth Nigerian politician thinks .

Nothing concern me with FFK irrelevant opinion . Na Iran promised retaliation I dey ask u for

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Na the Israeli response be dis? Abi another one is on the way.?

This one na carry talk.

Iran did not give condition when they said they will attack Israel within seconds if they dare retaliate. They didn't say if Israel use Dane gun or Quadro copter they won't respond

All we heard was that they will respond within seconds and will deploy weapons they've never used before should Israel retaliate. Now na tales by Okpa, FFK and Iran Media, Nigerian wing we dey hear

iamoyindamola:
Arteta have spent 600m
De zerbi have not spent 100m
Girona coach have not spent 75m
You mean make superstar from rice(100) kai(65) zinny (35) jesus(50) Ramsdale (35) white(50) partey (50)
They play

Remind me how much Chelsea spent when they signed an overachieving Brighton coach that threw them down the abyss of misery.

Be careful of what u wish for.

In fact, I hope they sack Arteta so I will be here to tell u " I told u so"

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Poor Israel

Which one be poor Israel? I thought Iran said they will respond to Israel attacks in seconds.....Why haven't they responded yet?

Oh! I read the state of their economy cannot support a full blown war at present. Abi is that western media propaganda?

iamoyindamola:
Did brigthon or girona have the caliber of players arteta have?

Which Caliber of players? Young intelligent players?

Maybe u don't know it is part of a coach's job to make superstars out of players at their disposal.

Make una no kill person this Friday morning

iamoyindamola:
This is becoming a joke
Girona was fighting relegation some seasons ago he made them in top4 now
he never competed for the league, he doesn't have the caliber of players to do so
But he's in top4 how is he a bottler

You are making my point for me, if de zerbi have full squad he will compete even though he hasn't spent what arteta have blown

I'm not making ur point for u. Brighton was also struggling and finished at 17th position before they signed Potter; he took them to a stable 9th position before Chelsea signed him hoping he will also do well with a better team. We all know how it ended for them.

What I'm telling u is that when the going gets tough, the Girona coach will falter under pressure even worse than Arteta whom u want sacked now. If the coach was that good, why is he not pulling a Leicester? If u claim Arteta who lost top spot to a Guardiola Man city is a bottler won't u call the Girona guy worse when he begins to falter under pressure.

Oya mention another viable Arteta replacement let's check something

afrodoc2:
I don't think that is the day he should cuss bro.

Which should he cuss doc?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
That is security measures I was talking about na. Putin probably took measures to limit movement from unfriendly countries in order to protect the Russian Federation

There's a difference between giving ur citizens travel advisory and criminalizing ur citizens traveling to any country of their choice that u are not even at war with.

What u did there is false equivalence

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
My P man no raise me like that. To physically assault an old woman who's old enough to be my mother. I don't regret shit. I'll do same again again

U didn't get me. I mean u will regret the day u shared the story here.

By the way, I never suggested that u should've assaulted the woman but there's no way some random old woman will slap my head in a public bus because I didn't want to partake in her prayers. It just will not happen, except all of us in the bus no wan get to our destination safely

iamoyindamola:
yeah
Same one that confirmed arteta bottling the league last season with 3-0 defeat, btw his key players have been injured this season and they didn't spend well
That is why i said swap position with arteta and see result
Even in the 3-0 victory they were beating our press with ease but na welbeck they attack
Girona coach is another one, i won't mention xabi because that is too obvious

He should swap place with Arteta to come and enjoy the team Arteta built while he's languishing in 10th position? No bro.

This current Brighton coach u are recommending was knocked out by Roma 4-1 in the Yorupa league in the round of 16 o.

If u call Areta a bottler then u will call the Girona coach king of bottlers . Just take a look at their present position in the table fess. Shey na who go snatch league from Guardiola be that?

Oya I dey wait for more recommendations.

iamoyindamola:
Brigthon coach is good infact better than arteta
Replace the 2 and you will see result

Lmao.

Brighton coach? The same one we walloped 3-0 and currently on 10th position on the league?

U've forgotten Harry Porter of Brighton and how he turned out at Chelsea? Na so Chelseas fans sef think say replace Tuchel with Porter and u will see result. They are still cussing him on Chelsea thread till date.

Baba, oya mention another person
