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

Ibime:
Southgate is lucky to have had 8 years of constant salary in the millions having failed with Middlesbrough and England Under21s. Na Grace dey on him life

The guy dey bath soap like Yahoo boys; nothing wey anybody fit tell me

Ibime:
How we no sure say Gareth Southgate na the Gernot Rohr of England, and you be the Timbros wey want pursue am. You want England to go back to days of calculator abi

This guy has taken England to 4 major tournaments and they have nothing to show for it. How is he better than Rhor sef ?

liveLongNprospa:
This thing is very deliberate.
And trust the people to defend them.
These politicians have made more money from a dead economy than when we as a nation was richer and more structured.
Chaos is a ladder😁

Eboyin wey no battle insecurity sef , for 3 years now no aircraft has landed there; the airport is just a monumental waste of tax payers money.

Zamfara is following the same model . smh......later they will be crying to FG to help them on security after the governor waste money on white elephant project

Omoluabi16:
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

liveLongNprospa:
The only reason this is done is because you are trying to build an escape route should incase the cookie crumble.

Because at this point zamfara should explain what it needs an airport for

A state battling insecurity is constructing airport. Lmao.

Who swear for these leaders sef?

Omoluabi16:
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.

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

iamoyindamola:
I saw the interview
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".

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.

E come be like say Lampard even get playing pattern pass Southgate sef

larride:
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.

afrodoc2:


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.

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

Theflint1:
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.

It is the process of becoming the party's governorship candidate I fault for this one jare

monerozi5590:
If you look at the managers before him and the progress the English team has made under him. Southgate remains the best manager England has had for over 50 years.

Na this same Pattern u use support Buhari for 8 years. U this guy!

daveP:
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

Theflint1:
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.

I swear bro,crazy enough and trolling aside that guy has a chance ooo....

The machinery that made him a senator from his zone would soon be oiled, then oshiomole and shiuabu will work together because of their disdain for obaseki and go all out for him in Edo north, crumbs from edo south will be ok for him cos akpata and Ai would cancel each other out there...

Hey God,like play play Buhari 2.0 could be our next governor

Dem go whine una, but no panic . If Buhari can "did" it, then Oga Monday too can "did" it.

The erudite lawyers and scholars don talk say our law requires u to attempt and have evidence of O'Level result ; u don't necessarily need to have 5 credit.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
The man na otondo. Dem PDP suppose use this result rubbish him in campaign

E be like say u don forget so soon. Did Buhari's WASSCE result deter his supporters from voting him twice? Even when he was nicknamed "dullard", his supporters defended his misgovernance till the last few months of his tenure

Segedinho:
These are the people that are supposed to be lambasted and questioned with vile words both online and Offline.

But u will see some foools defending the stupidityy for one reason or the other..

When I read the defence of VP's home n people asking if he was going to own it after 8 years was when I realised people are just there.....


Obidients...Agbado...Atikulites are supposed to beg for the best even in criticism but some have sworn to be irredeemable stuppid....

It is always Obideint vs Agbado whenever Obidients insults these set of politicians

Nigeria has a long way to go.

We literally vote for people who are so detached from reality to go represent us in the Senate and HOA. When they get there , they only care about their stomach.

Some of them(like the one in the video) are not even intelligent enough to defend their wasteful spending in the face of serious economic downturn. He can't even make any reasonable defence for the N140m vehicle. smh

As for those that always defend them online, I believe alarm never reach their side ni.

Amigoss:
If you watch the guy talk sef,you go dey wonder how he take become senator or pass apc primaries,Apc na very evil party wey no get good intentions for Nigerians....

APC is literally fielding Buhari 2.0 in Edo state

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

Breaking promise to cut waste, Buhari spends N41bn on presidential fleet

Under the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), the Presidential Air Fleet has so far cost taxpayers a total of N41.9bn, contrary to the promise Buhari made during the 2015 presidential election campaigns to reduce waste in governance by downsizing the presidential fleet.

As of October 2016, when the Presidency last made a public inventory of the PAF, the fleet included 10 aircraft, namely one Boeing Business Jet (or Air Force One) 737, one Gulfstream G550, one Gulfstream G500, one Hawker 4000, two Falcon 7X, two AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters, and two AgustaWestland AW101 helicopters.

By the Presidency’s own admission, Buhari’s promise to sell some of the aircraft in the fleet was aimed at minimizing the cost of governance.

In October 2016, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, assured journalists that some of the presidential jets would be sold in line with Buhari’s directive that aircraft in the PAF be reduced to cut waste

Shehu added that some aircraft in the fleet would also soon be handed over to the Nigerian Air Force for its operations.

He said, “When he campaigned to be President, the then APC candidate Muhammadu Buhari, if you recall, promised to look at the Presidential Air Fleet with a view to cutting down on waste.

“His directive to a government committee on this assignment is that he liked to see a compact and reliable aircraft for the safe airlift of the President, the Vice President and other government officials that go on special missions. This exercise is by no means complete.”

Later in October 2016, the Buhari regime advertised the sale of two of a Falcon 7X executive jet and the Hawker 4000.

However, in March 2018, Shehu told Saturday PUNCH that the bid amounts agreed upon by the two preferred bidders for the two aircraft stood at $24m, which was the projected sales figure.

The presidential spokesman, however, said the unnamed winners of the bids reneged when they were asked to pay. According to him, they came up with a new figure of $11m for the two jets.

Describing the preferred bidders’ attitude as absurd, Shehu said under the Buhari regime, no one would be allowed to “take a public asset and run away (with it) for nothing.”

He added that the Presidency was still determined to sell the jets, which he said were still available for “serious buyers.”

The proposed sale recorded a lull in public attention until September 2020, when the Federal Government announced that the Hawker 4000 aircraft, with registration number 5N-FGX/: RC 066, had again been put up for sale.

But purchase of the business-size jet, which entered into service in December 2011, has yet to be confirmed by the Presidency.

Upkeep of presidential fleet rises by 243% in six years


After taking office on May 29, 2015, the 2016 Appropriation Act signed by Buhari allocated N3.652bn for the upkeep of the presidential fleet. In 2017, the cost of maintenance of the presidential aircraft rose to N4.37bn (19.6 per cent). The figure then skyrocketed to N7.260bn (98.7 per cent) in 2018.

In 2019, the cost of maintaining the PAF again rose to N7.297bn (99.6 per cent). The allocation, however, fell to N6.793bn (86 per cent) in 2020. But in 2021, the budget for the presidential fleet saw its sharpest Buhari-era jump to N12.550bn (243.6 per cent).

By comparison, the 2015 budget, which was in effect upon Buhari’s inauguration, earmarked N5.190bn for the presidential fleet. The appropriation for the PAF in 2021 indicates a 243.6 per cent increase from the allocation six years prior.

Each of the Falcon 7X jets were purchased in 2010 by the Federal Government for $51.1m, while the Gulfstream G550 costs $53.3m, according to a former Minister of Information, the late Prof Dora Akunyili.

Estimates from online listings and airline executives showed the factory prices for the other aircraft in the fleet as follows: Boeing Business Jet – $59m; Hawker 4000 – $22.9m; AgustaWestland AW139 – $12m; and AgustaWestland AW101 – $21m.

This brings the combined estimated value of Nigeria’s PAF to $347.4m (N142.96bn).

APC = All Promises Cancelled

Buhari campaigned he will reduce cost of governance by selling off jets in the presidential fleet. For 8 years he failed to do that.

I read sometimes in April 2024 Tinubu has " Penciled down" 3 Jets to be sold out of the 10 in the presidential fleet because the cost of maintenance between 2016 to 2023 was over 80 billion naira.

But somehow in June 2024 the House of Assembly is recommending they buy new jets for Tinubu & Shetimma( at least 2).

If u still think APC is not God's punishment to Nigerians, u are on a long thing.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan state with a sizable population of people from different parts of the country. Just like you, I and Ogbeide, we're not indigenous to Lagos, but we can be deemed stakeholders either because it was a place of previous long-term residence, or current residence...we can have a say in who governs this state and will support it with our votes or online support. The strangers that Ogbeide was most likely referring to were those that have zero to no association with Edo State, but even at that, I think they're entitled to having an opinion, after all Edo State is part of Nigeria.

No be everything una supposed dey defend. It is actually hypocrisy on the part of the Ogbeide guy reading those two separate tweets from him.

For starters he has always been a PDP member. He hails from Edo state and currently serves as a commissioner under the PDP government in Edo state. He may have been an Obidient who wanted Obi to be the president of Nigeria for a change, but there's no logical explanation to why he wants GRV to be governor of Lagos.

He neither resides in Lagos, Works in Lagos nor pays tax to the Lagos state government.

Don't get me wrong; He's within his rights as a PDP member serving under a PDP government to support Asue Ighodalo of PDP to win the forthcoming governorship elections. But I also think those questioning his interests in GRV becoming Lagos governor have a solid point to do so.

As in….. The guy looks like a coach that will get out maneuvered by even bottom team coaches in the EPL.

Denmark was playing with an obvious tactic showing they know what they are doing and all England did all day was to just keep throwing anything at them hoping something sticks . No clear pattern.

Their midfield worse pass una donought midfield sef 😂

I don’t envy whatever club or country that will be unfortunate to employ Southgate after he leaves this England job.

The man is a product of Federal character ; nothing wey anybody fit tell me . That’s the only reason he still has this England job sef

There is a pattern I noticed from Twitter. Anytime those guys supporting APC from abroad come to Nigeria, they are always shocked about how bad things are and start to slightly reduce their support of the government. They then start to offer more criticisms and advice about the government can make things better.

They can't fathom how bad things are until they come and see for themselves.

For real. Who no go no know.
