Shey it's money they have they will give na. I can assure you they don't have. At least, the ones here in PH. Madam was even telling me any armed robber who comes to attack her branch is wasting his time because they don't have money.

Imagine a branch that gets more than 20m weekly before now struggling to even see 2m.
I wonder why CBN has not said/done anything about it yet.

Cash is not returning to banks. Filling stations, supermarkets, market women e.t.c all sell money to people doing POS. Those doing POS in turn sell to the average Joe on the street.
Banks have even stopped loading cash in ATM’s and on counter they will only give 20k. I was in the banking hall today and na only N20k dem dey give for counter .

No Emefiele to blame this time .

You are better off pirating imho. If you have good internet and you buy a hard drive, get qbitorrent, get sites like psa and you are off to the races.

You can no longer get all the content you want from any site as they have all reverted to the cable model.

Now you need different subscriptions for different shows.
I don’t know how all those torrent stuff dey work .

Nigerian Church wahala is too much though.

You will have to learn make erudite supplications in English, deep meaningful (almost incantations) entreaties in Yoruba, and still be able to communicate with the hosts of heaven in post-modern contemporary tongues.

Then you have to pay tithe, Offering, seed, construction contribution, service group dues etc.

You have to read all your pastors books, and cram the scriptures, so that in public you too can say "the bible says..." in a loud and authoritative voice.

And all of this whilst staying holy too.

I learnt from an early age that I'm a simple man with very basic needs, that can't be met in a church. You see, I like to fornicate...
Dem dey fornicate for Church too na. Why do u think some white garment pastors get more than one wife and several concubines like Solomon?

The thing about Pentecostal and other non-white garment church is they like to hide their own.

In Nigeria you will be in one religion until you start discovering yourself and become atheist

Seunn used to attend ECU then Evangelical Christian Union. They were very serious fellowship more spiritual than RCF or Winners not like BLW maybe peers with MFM or Deeper in the spiritual scale
That's one thing about the most astute atheist. Some of them were very strong religious people until everything changed and dem no wan hear religion again

We are not better off that way

We are better of having a natural 9 and several other goalscorers. That is the AiM!!! It should be the aim


NOT

a 9 that will shoulder responsibility alone

Or

Just several goalscorers without a 9


Shebi we want to be the best?


Madrid is template
So also Bayern
Add City if you like

And being consistent at it that if the 9 is out, the others carry the burden. If others are out, the 9 steps up too. That's how the big boys roll.

That is all I've been saying and still repeating. To imagine this is impossible when we have over 6 teams in Europe doing exactly so is why I'm confused at why this is difficult to see.
U are ignoring one major thing, our playing style! Nketiah comes to the middle to receive ball when we are transitioning the ball into the opposition's final third, Jesus does same. U can draw inference that it is Arteta's instruction they do that. Any player we get that will be unable to do that will just be warming bench. That is Arteta's style.

If u ask me, I will support Arteta getting another striker but I won't be surprised if he doesn't get the type of striker u are suggesting sha.

Omo, I didn't even know Chelsea played until I saw it on super sports blitz. That's when I reckoned that I would have known if not for the crash here.

Chelsea matter tire person so I no too dey concerned with what's going on with them lately.
I have livescore app installed on my phone and I put Arsenal as faviorite. They always notify me 1 hour before the game about lineups, 15 minutes to kickoff they remind me and when the match starts they notify me. When goals are scored, red cards issued , halftime and fulltime I get notified.

You can do same for Chelsea; It's just with the form chelsea dey u fit vex delete the app after chelsea lose 2-3 matches grin

If there's only one person in this room satisfied that all our goals are shared, then I'm certainly that one person. I no dey hide my mouth for this one.

We all know Auba have been giving us good goals frequency but how was the team then? I'm not bad mouthing Auba but the team effort first over any highest goalscorer biko. I hate one man team to be honest.

As as for the bolded, you talk as if the EPL is decided mostly by Gd and that's where you're getting it wrong. It decided by Points! points!! points!!!. The only time it was decided by goal difference was in 2011/2012.(over a decade). Before that, I doubt it was decided again any other season. So why should we be worrying about goal difference when we should actually be worried about points?
You're talking about 88goals scored, when in actual fact you should be talking about the 85points and how we ought to better it. Wrong priority if you ask me. Even Salah that you're always using as example, the season Liverpool won league was one of his poorest goal returns of goals (alongside their front three) but the season he scored 32 goals, they finished 4th.

Like I and Mos.tob are always saying, the team as a whole is missing chances. Quality Chances!!!. Let them start converting the chances and let's get all maximum the points needed. As long as we win the league, I don't care. If dem like let dem score less than 88goals, na dem sabi!!.
To buttress ur point, our goal returns during the invincible season was not really fantastic. We even scored more goals last season than the invincible season.

the thing is in the west you can still be a high functioning individual. they diagnose and then put you through the proper therapy or regimen

in nigeria they drag you off to an alfa or pastor for deliverance or mark you off as strange.

Your first paragraph is spot on. They'd have pumped my guy full of drugs from a young age.


Someone like me may have been diagnosed with ADHD if I'd been born in the USA where everything must have a label
That's one thing about the west, they either recommend therapy, use drugs or give the child special attention. In Nigeria we overlook those things and at some people the child will get teased by his peers till he withdraws to himself completely.

Of course it is obvious what i want and others that see my consistent pov. No i am not conflating any two issues. I am saying we need a firepower up front like auba. Sometimes we act like auba no even score 22 for us. Seeing no one has replicated that, but we are hyped about 88 shows many never ready.

It is a feat, but we are COMPETING and need to outperform top opponents, CITY!

So, we need it now more than ever. We are even back(obviously so) after game week 17. 35goals vs 40 last season on same GW17.


We need firepower. 100+ should be the target. We should not wait till we score less than 88 after last game to now accept this angle.


Besides, why do we have to imagine an incoming 9 will distort style? How convenient!!!!
Just like Mostob pointed out, we are better off scoring loads of goals with different players on the score sheet than having a top 9 whom we all channel most of our goal scoring chances through. I prefer we scoring 100 goals through 10 different players than having one player score 50 goals and we didn't score more than 65 as a team.

I didn't say a top 9 will distort our playing style but some of the names being thrown around as our potential target by the media do not fit into Arteta's style of play from what I have seen.

I hope if Arteta eventually says he wants to get another striker with similar playing style to Jesus we won't come back to ask him to sign another top 9 in a year's time simply because the new striker is not banging in goals just like Jesus.

I'm more worried about us missing chances than what Liverpool will do to us. If the boys turn up, we should get all the points.

That's also my fear; missing chances when Loserpool will score half a decent chance with good shot takers like Alexander Arnold, Szoboszlai, Macallister etc

If he was abroad, they would've diagnosed him with something sha when he was much younger.

I have a friend who was not really social, but somehow along the line he just flowed. Even after school when he announced his wedding, some ladies in our class were interested in attending the wedding just to know the kind of woman he ended up with cos he's usually not the chatty type, had no vices like drinking, partying, etc.

Some of those wishing he shuts down are still active on the forum when you can just leave if it's not working for you or not your taste

2 weekends ago a friend was sharing news with me how he housed a distant relative who just relocated from Naija. The guy never settle and not found a job yet this guy telling the story normally goes to work but that day he didn't but his guest didn't know and the guest was making a call in the house how he hated the host and prays that his so called wealth and comfort crash

How can you be living under someone's roof and hope he crashes. What will he gain? Yet you sleep under his roof rent free, eat his food his pepper and salt

He was now asking if he should confront the guy and chase the guy out cos it might even be a safety issue for him and his family to live with someone who hates you that much
I won't even confront him, I will just tell him to leave that I'm expecting my relatives from outside the country and I need to make the house in good shape before they come. I will not even allow him stay up to a week after the call.

Some people's heart are just wicked for no reason.

Yes we got 88 last season. But who else saw the GD that City used to win that league? And some of us are content with that, thinking that the players that gave that 88 would replicate it absolutely. We've even forgotten auba sef. 22goals back to back. That's a consistency we crave but is absent in our Attacking Line right now. A consistency that Ollie was nowhere to be seen but is now bossing on the list of G&A.


Bottomline: Let's aim higher abeg. If you're comfy with 88 then you're thinking very small. Verrrryy small. Considering the teams we are up against. I always say if it went down to deciding title by GD, we won't cos we haven't been set up to give that. But some are satisfied that everyone is netting. Naaaaaah. Factory Reset pls!!
You are conflating two different issues. What do we want as a team?

Do we want a team that scored 88 goals in a season (which is quite impressive considering where we we are coming from) without our top 9 up there with the top goal scorers in the league?

OR

Do we want our striker to be one of the top strikers in the league and then it distorts our playing style which requires the striker to join the rest of the midfield to build up play till they get to the box?

As for goal difference, it has two components GF and GA. We are already good on GF going by last year's result, it is our defensive midfield and defence proper that needs to be well managed so we don't leak as many goals as we score in case the league goes down to the wire and goal difference will be the deciding factor.

I think Seun has a problem with listening to people and making prompt changes.
What what egbon wrote up there it goes beyond Listening to people.

Obviously he does listen to people, but maybe he sees the imperfection in people's suggestions and doesn't just know how to communicate such concerns to the people which will then lead to a two-way communication at the end of which a reasonable and workable decision will be reached.

This part you highlighted was the most worrying part for me. The number of people who shared with glee how much they want him never to come back up. Shows something about how we think. It's not the first time though

There have been many attempted breakaway platforms before or copycat forums that failed

Personally I missed the few days it was down cos it was my own source of news from various sources. I can't be scurrying news from different Twitter feeds when Nairaland can do a collation of all Naija news for me. I stay up to date with the very latest Naija happening even more than people living in Naija courtesy of Nairaland

I didn't know Chelsea played until late in the evening when someone jokingly referenced it on his whatsapp status when on Nairaland I would at least have an idea

Even for reusable containers, there should be technology that would indicate that a container has been opened once if it has ever been opened once.

This will show a buyer who checks the bar code that the product is fake.

Technology is really helpful only if stakeholders are ready to end product counterfeiting.
I guess the producers will have no choice going forward because the sales volume they will lose with buyers boycotting their products due to counterfeiting should be enough motivation for them to invest in technology. Stakeholders like NAFDAC, SON etc will also do well to sensitize buyers by running radio and TV adverts. They should stop diverting monies in their budget meant for such public awareness.
