And Fraudiola made it balance by bringing a massive Haaland and ejecting Sterling, without touching the defence. You get it?

Chelsea need such balancing. Flush out Sterling and other washed attackers and upgrade. Opponents will be begging for draw, submerged in their own half.

airmark:
Man City got to Ucl senifinal before Fraudiola joined them. So it wasn't Fraudiola that got them to make serious push for Ucl.

The difference that got them the Ucl trophy, was selling Sterling and bringing in Haaland to a team with a defence that conceded against Mount and Havertz and couldn't score against Mendy and Christensen.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid).

Defenders: Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Alessandro Bastoni (Inter), Federico Dimarco (Inter).

Midfielders: John Stones (Manchester City), Rodri (Manchester City), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City).

Forwards: Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid).

Man City had to fix their attack before they could win UCL.

Your team conceded lesser goals than City and Aston Villa, yet they are topping you. There's a reason your club urgently is looking at improving your attack this window.

This is not rocket science.

timbros:
We just need to strike a balance between this attack and defense thing.

If you score 5 goals in a match and concede 6, will you praise your attack for scoring 5 in a match or will you blame you defense for conceding 6?

Conversely,if you concede just 1 goal but scored zero, will you praise your defense for being tight enough to concede "just" 1 goal or will you blame your attack for not being able to score any?

While our attack need massive improvement to convert chances created, our defense also need to tighten up. Individual errors in defense have cost us a lot this season. So yes, defense is also our problem.

In 2004/05 when Mourinho broke the record of least goals conceded in the league, we scored 72 goals. Arsenal in second scored 87..... The amount of 1-0 matches we played that season was uncountable.

2020/21 when Tuchel won us UCL, we conceded just 4 goals all campaign. 4 goals in 13 matches!

Make una no dey underrate the importance of defense in football.

The first port of call is local govt - but local govts are typically thoroughly compromised.

All the rubbish you see in lagos starts with local govts collecting egunje and looking away. It is when state govt via regulatory bodies get involved that enforcement may take place.

Edit - I have read that there are some mining operations going on in Ibadan. It seems there are a lot of undocumented and clandestine solid minerals
exploitation going on with the tacit approval of the state governments

GloriousGbola:
Seyi Makinde knows more than he is letting on. He has deliberately not named the mining company. He has also not said what it is they are mining. Were they mining in Ibadan? Or was the house a way station?

He has also not said categorically what it was that was stored and exploded.

I am trying to understand why a mining company would have their operations office in a residential area. Seyi Makinde is trying to throw the community under the bus for not reporting this.

In West Africa in1892 the British authorities were encountering problems in their dealings with the Ijebu tribe. The tribe, proud, isolated and determined, lived between 50 and 60 miles north-east of Lagos on the Magbon River, and Jebu Ode was the tribal capital.

In May 1891 the British Acting Governor, Captain C.M. Denton C.M.G., left Lagos with an escort of Hausa constables (Hausas are from the Islamic north of Nigeria) to visit Jebu Ode to make agreements allowing the free passage of trade goods through Ijebu territory. However the Awujale refused to agree to the British requests and he also rejected the British presents given to him by Denton, doubtless fearing that to accept them would obligate him in some way.

London then instructed Lagos to obtain an apology from the Awujale for the perceived "insult" to Denton, and to insist on free right of way through the Awujale's territory. In January 1892 a representative of the Awujale went to Lagos to agree to the British demands, and in return the British granted the Ijebu 500 pounds annually to compensate for the loss of customs revenue. However the tribe was unhappy with this outcome as it did not wish to change its traditional methods and practices, particularly when threatened by foreigners.

On 19th May the Jebu made a determined stand on the north bank of a ford over the Yemoyi River, five miles south of Jebu Ode. The river here was 40 yards wide and sometimes over 4 feet deep (the Jebu had dug it deeper for this battle to create a difficult obstacle), and above and below the ford the river narrowed and ran through impenetrable bush. The southern approach to the ford ran through a gorge that prevented the British from manoeuvring off the track. The enemy warriors were located on both sides of the river, and the narrowness of the track being used made it extremely difficult for the British to bring up and concentrate their heavy weapons. The Ijebu were determined to prevent the British from crossing the ford and as warriors were shot down or ran out of bullets fresh relays of men from the rear replaced them.

Scott ordered his Hausa advance guard across the river but they did not want to move. It was believed that the Jebu had made a human sacrifice to the goddess of the river in order to obtain the goddess' support in repelling the invaders. Finally a machine gun was brought up to the river bank and Scott ordered the West Indian Regiment company under Major George Colquhoun Madden to storm the ford. The crossing was successful, and once the Hausa had observed that the river goddess was inactive then they too crossed and engaged the Jebu. By now the guns and rockets had struggled up the congested track and these fired into likely Jebu positions until resistance ceased.

The remainder of the force now crossed the ford and advanced half a mile to Imagbodon village where Scott took stock of the situation. Since they had left Epe the British had lost 56 men killed and 30 more wounded including three white officers, one of them being Roddy Owen at the river crossing. Although the Jebu had lost around 700 warriors at the ford, mainly to machine-gun fire, thousands more remained at large ready to fight.

Therefore next morning as the march resumed Scott's Advance Guard was surprised to meet envoys from the Awujale offering submission. The Ijebu admitted to losing a thousand warriors and seven chiefs and were anxious to stop the burning of any more villages. The tribe accepted defeat and, in the words of the Awujale, they were "no fit for fight with white man".

A few hours later Jebu Ode had a Union Flag flying over it, the Awujale's palace was being used as the British officers' mess and the surrounding buildings housed the soldiers. Scott banned looting but this order antagonised the Ibadan irregulars who had to be disarmed. Flying columns marched along the trade routes declaring them open, Roddy Owen commanding the one that went north to Oru to destroy the Ijebu toll gates there. The West Indians marched back to Lagos declaring that south-westerly route open also.

Before marching away and leaving a garrison in Jebu Ode the British burned part of the city including the Fetish House. The Ijebu were great believers in dark practices and had slaughtered thousands of sacrificial victims in order to placate evil spirits (good spirits could be ignored as they did no harm). After ritual torture the victims were beheaded, buried alive or nailed to trees by their heads. After the latter the bodies were thrown into a special pond but the skulls were left adorning the trees in the fetish groves.


Everybody except the casualties was pleased with the outcome of this little war. The Colonial Office was particularly gratified that the total cost of the expeditionary force was less than 5,000 pounds sterling.

the average nigerian has zero concept of basic safety and also a complete disregard for safety in general
i regularly see tanker drivers smoking beside tankers full of product
as for drivinhg, it is only in lagos people wear seatbelts - and this even includes road safety

driving safety is one of my pet peeves because you will see nigerians put thier children in thr front seat. you will see mothers put babies in the front seats of cars - sometimes the children will sit with them in the drivers seat

so i will not be suprised if the average nigerian does not know or care that explosives are controlled /regulated substances

nigerians only proactiveness is in saying a petrol station should not be sited in a location - which for me is partially misguided. a fuel station or gas plant is safe as long as it is deigned and operated accoording to standard [of course there again is where nigerians come in, esp for all these independent mush room operators.]

How does addressing the anomaly solve the question on ground? Unless it does I think it's a distraction. As a matter of fact, Wike should have been referring to himself when making that warning because he himself does not spend two consecutive days in Abuja before rushing back to Rivers.

Posers for the Governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde and Security agencies regarding the deadly #IbadanBlast last night

1. Even in developed countries, it takes nothing less than 48 hours before government agencies make a categorical statement about such a massive explosion. These include cordoning off the area, obtaining evidence on the scene, and analyzing it before telling the public what exactly happened.

2. In less than 10 hours, Governor Seyi makinde already "investigated" the incident and submitted it was “Illegal Miners.” Who are the illegal miners? What do they mine, and why are they in possession of such powerful explosives?

3. Is there any explosives dealer known to security agencies in a high-brow neighborhood in Ibadan that the govt had long been aware of and did nothing about?

4. Again, who is that miner? What is the miner's name, and what do they mine in Oyo state? Is it gold, silver, cobalt, uranium, or what? A release should be done immediately to reveal the identity of the miner!

5. Mining and using explosives has a procedure and rarely explodes without a trigger, especially dynamite. You have to ignite it automatedly or use fire. Was the building rigged with explosives? If so, why so?

6. Is the governor or Oyo state government aware of mining in Agodi residential area? Is the governor aware of it, or is his or the state carrying out rock blasting in a residential area?

7. The DSS is saddled with approving the use of explosives around Nigeria. What is their public position on what happened? At least citizens need a preliminary report from the DSS on this matter immediately.
