I agree...I reckon they have the best defence in the tournament.

Japan scored them 2 good goals. It's Sweden that is flattering this Dutch team with their poor showing thus far.

patrickmuf:
Their qualifying for the World Cup is like magic, especially if you followed their qualification games.

They don't belong here at all.....They are struggling to even progress the ball from backline to the opponent's 18 yard box.

It definitely shows how terrible Tunisia was for this same Sweden to have wollpped them 5-1

This Sweeden na dirty!

The Dutch leading by 2 goals in less than 20 mins. Brobbey is eating real good

This Sweeden team actually need good defenders and Midfielders. Having two good strikers is not enough

E say na Hague

Farmers can't go to farm
Nigerians do not have freedom of movement anymore

But na ICC in Hague we dey try avoid.

I just tire tire o...... A whole community was deserted; even the king of the town was nowhere to be found by the time security forces came around..... Yet he dey talk about Hague invitation.

Like u rightly said most of those villages in Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti and now Oyo; the fear to go to farm is now real.

raumdeuter:
Ben Gvir said terrorists who caused Israeli mothers to be in tears will get 1000 times the tears

What in your opinion is wrong with that? Yet that statement is declared a crime

I can see u enjoy turning discussion over it's head to make whatever point u think u are making.

If not, Wetin concern Israel that is fighting external wars on multiple frong with Nigeria sorting internal insecurity issues?

The Israeli general made a comment on his companies the various terrorists organizations and countries they are fighting in the middle east.

We are here saying a Nigerian president or presidential aspirant shouldn't be talking about negotiating with Bandits and Terrorists who are making the country ungovernable. Instead, they should be talking about how the security agencies should wipe off the terrorists out of existence.

You are the one telling us they will get invited by Hague if they should say that. As how? Did the Hague invite Buhari when he was handling IPOB/ESN's asses to them? Despite all the number of ESN guys that were neutralized in the east and even Rivers state under Wike, did the Hague invite anybody?

Why can't Tinubu follow suit and deal decisively with these bandits/terrorists? To me it seems u are just looking for a convinient excuse to give Tinubu a pass for the woeful results we've seen in the fight against insecurity in the last 3 years

raumdeuter:
That's why I was telling izzou and BlueRayDick about Obis statement. There are statements public figures cannot make unlike you and I. You and others do not see anything wrong with that statement but as a public figure that statement has gotten Ben Gvir an invitation to Hague and if not careful will end like those Serbian Generals

You can extend this into why Trump and countries cannot use their superior power to win wars decisively

Apples and oranges ; that was what I told u when u raised that point.

Nobody is going to invite you to Hague if as a president, military general or senior person in government you ask the government to go after terrorists and kill them.

Or are u saying it's a war crime if a president/military general says and ensures terrorists causing problem in the country are neutralized?

It's a very nonsense idea to say terrorists causing havoc all over the country should be negotiated with instead of neutralizing them. I continue to stand by my opinion.

KingTom:
But at this point in time, which Presidential candidate in the longrun can tackle insecurity head on? The Feminine sissy whose female voice alone would make them laugh? The drug addict coked out of his mind who would rather channel money into the purchase of diapers and printing paper for Owo mi da? The Geriatric half camerounian ex Chieftaincy title holder who would cave under pressure and delete statements to be seen as a good guy in the eyes of his terrorist brothers? The vibrant ne'er do well who is still stuck and living in the past Glory of his SUG days, running around with a terrible case of verbal diarrhoea?


It is really unfortunate, very very unfortunate

Well, one thing is certain and accurate : The current government has lost the plot and does not have it in them to stem the tide of insecurity swiping through the country. On that premise alone, no reasonable person should go stay on queue to vote such government to continue in office.

It will be the most unfortunate in the history of unfortunate that citizens who have been abandoned to their own fate by the government still vote for continuity of the status quo.

izzou:
For those who subscribe to negotiations/Non-Kinetic approaches.

A Bandit leader said you should give him his arms back, and the corpses of his boys, then he will continue with peace

Imagine a Station interviewing him, but the government cannot arrest him.

Make dem dey deceive themselves with yeye non-kinetic suggestions na.

People like this ought to be hunted down and neutralized with their dead body posted on front page of newspapers.

Instead, dem say make government dey negotiate with them since they are our "brothers"

The other problem is that at their core these guys are actual criminals. I am sure you remember how bukola sarakis thugs were involved in an actual bank robbery where people died.

Yeah, the Offa bank robbery incident where dozens of people were killed. Till date Sàràkí denied knowing the guy even when there are clear evidences everywhere.

This country ehn!

GloriousGbola:
Political thugs simply go into hibernation until a new admin enters office. It happened with political thugs who obaseki dealt with who have been reinstated by Monday and with Tokyo and auxillary who have been reinstated by makinde.

Wike did same with thugs who went underground during Amaechis tenure.

Any governor from a different party needs to immediately build his machinery to ensure he wins the next election and it is the hibernated thugs he will use.

The problem is if the incumbent government now has plan to install a puppet governor after his term and some of his own thugs wish to support a totally different candidate. The incumbent will start using state security apparatus to fight those same thugs that once played on his team

Raumdeuter this is Oriyomi alleging they had to release some known thugs from prison to work for Seyi to act as strong man for them while he was campaigning for Seyi back then.

It appears one of those strong men who is now playing On Oriyomi's team recently has his house demolished based on some criminal allegations from Seyi's government.

Now Oriyomi has been invited by state CID on the grounds of petition written against him but he fears it may be politically motivated and that it is aimed at taking him out of circulation by roping him with whatever crime the strong man may have committed. He also fears his radio station may be demolished like the Oyo State government demolished the strong man's property Recently.

Politics is a very dirty game o.

You don't need to get defensive. I am not saying he's better than Saka.

Tuchel mentioned the same thing when queried about Madueke's selection. He runs faster past defenders directly than Saka or Palmer n co. That directness can come in handy at times when silkiness doesn't work. Though it typically also lands him within the fans section.

There's nothing defensive about telling u Madueke is shiiit. It is what it is....

When coaches start inventing yeye qualities for players like "runs faster past defenders", jut know the player is shiit and the coach is trying so hard to justify starting a shiiity player.

Nobody is going to the stadium to watch Madueke's headless runs that rarely results to goals or create chances for his team mates.

CrystalTiger:
We're in deeper trouble than we realise as a nation.. Because this means that there's a parallel government (APC & Terrorists)in this country..Like how's a whole community sacked like this and it's not even being reported at all..

Honestly sometimes I'm tempted to believe that insecurity is being underreported..

Insecurity is actually grossly under reported.

You know the crazy part? The minister of information yesterday was busy telling press men not to report every case of terrorism/banditary on front page of their newspaper.

So they should know the ones to report and the ones to overlook.🤦‍♂️

Idris said while the federal government under President Bola Tinubu remains fully committed to upholding press freedom, responsible journalism must be exercised to avoid glorifying crime.


“Yes, we have to do our work, we have to report whatever happens, but you must know that the best reporter, the best editor, is the one that knows what not to report in the interest of nation-building,” he said.

“Please, take these terrorists and criminals off your front pages. This is what they crave for, free of charge.

raumdeuter:
Politics is a female dog

Oriyomi and the alliance of Seyi Makinde which included Ladoja, Auxilliary, Lanlehin etc that ended APC in 2019 is now fragmented because many believed Seyi sidelined them.

Now that oriyomi and Accord is contesting, some of the disaffected have aligned with Oriyomi. Then Seyis people are using the rgans of govt against him

One is insecurity. The angle I heard was Oriyomi said when Gumi went to Ibadan he went to cover the event as a journalist. Now they are trying to claim he brought Gumi to Oyo and their plans has led to Fulani invasion

Ajimobi demolished Ayefeles radio station sometime too

Na wa o.

But Oriyomi get string head Sha. I remember last year there's a video of one of his program that was posted on social media.

A listener called in and advised that he should shun politics. The guy advised that he focus on his broadcasting business and the charity/activist cause he was doing instead of dabbling into politics where he will be rubbished.

Oriyomi was very vexed, he cussed the caller and said nobody should ever advise him on his political ambition. He insisted he was qualified and will contest irrespevtive of any intimidation from political opponents.

izzou:
Hmmmmmmm....

Jehovah have mercy.

I hope the police are stationed in the nearby towns too. Make dem no pursue those one too.

This insecurity issue is something else, to be honest

The nearby towns too may have started evacuating. Hopefully with the deployment of these policemen, those ones may not have to abandon their own community too completely.

My fear is ; this town that has been completely abandoned by the natives, is it not a matter of time before the nomadic fulanis migrate there and start living like the original natives?

I showed a colleague this particular video on Twitter and he told me his own town too in Ekiti state, most of the able bodied men and women have since deserted the place. Only few elders without relatives anywhere in the city are remaining because of this insecurity issue too.

Omo! A whole lot is happening that is not even making it into the news or social media.

@Raumdeuter what's happening in Oyo state?

Oriyomi Hamzat is making allegations that there's a gangup against and they are trying to rope him into the insecurity issue in the state. He's saying there are plans by the Oyo State government to demolish his radio station and everything is political

Why am I reading Eulogies of Wasiu and Lamentations of Pendu everywhere na?

Even Rogers can play that Madueke role well sef.

In fact, I prefer that 16-year-Old boy Dowman to start ahead of him at Arsenal....but I know seniority will always give Madueke edge over the boy.

Madueke will have one or two good moments in a game and annoy you for the rest of the game. Na only Arteta know wetin he see in him wey make am sign Madueke sha .

This entire town called Ọwá Oniire in Kwara state has been completely abandoned due to activities of kidnappers. Even the palace of the traditional ruler was deserted.

Madueke's saving grace is that he has a specific skillset that others in England or Arsenal don’t have which compensates for his lack of footballing brain.

He enjoys speed tax. His direct pacy style enables him to win penalties to unlock low blocks and that's about he only value he brings that put him on the plane to the US.

I so much h*te the way he laughs when he bungles play. Almost like a r*tard.

There's nothing pacy direct about his style. He only started England's first game because Saka was not fully fit. He dosen't possess any skillset that can ever make him bench a fully fit Saka either at Arsenal or in the English national team. Saka's style of play even has a high style of winning PK compared to Madueke's.

Madueke na dirty abeg!

raumdeuter:
I saw the story too and this shows us that Nigerians elite are not safe as well

A Major General who was ex military spokesman was killed last week, this man a member of the cabinet had his relative kidnapped and he had to pay ransom

These 2 alone if you know their status in their community yet they also suffered the same fate as all. Its now a case of these Fulani bandits vs everyone including their own Fulani people

It's really scary.

I have advised everybody that is dear to me to avoid interstate traveling by road at all costs. I know nowhere is safe, but at least not jumping into unnecessary road travel reduces one's chances of getting kidnapped for ransom.

GloriousGbola:
my first reaction is to disregard this story as exaggeration

but if it happened in the north which is for all intents and purposes completely overrun, maybe the story is true

What will he gain from exaggerating or telling lies about the incident? Somebody that worked closely with the VP, I'm sure he won't want to throw dirt his way. He's just sharing his own family's experience na.

And yes the incident happened in the north according to him.

The Information revealed by this man in this video is quite revealing.

Despite being SA to Vice President and having access to the top brass of Nigeria's security architecture, he still had to part with over ₦175m to secure release of his nephew that was kidnapped. What then is the hope of the common man?

MorataFC:
That what we have been saying, there should be a clear handball law that every fan can understand.

Right now, one handball is called a foul because it’s “intentional,” and another foul is not because it’s unintentional.
One player’s hand is in a “natural position,” another's hand is not. How are we supposed to judge these without controversy?

Which sane player would handle the ball intentionally in his own box knowing the punishment of it is a penalty?
99% of handballs called “intentional” today, are clearly unintentional. No sane person will commit foul intentionally in his own box. When you see a truly intentional handball, you’ll know, like Suarez against Ghana.

In the screenshot Raumdeuter quoted, their explanation was that the ball came off the player’s teammate before hitting his hand, so it wasn’t considered a foul. Then they now qioted an article saying that if the ball is played onto your hand by your teammate, it won’t be counted as foul. It all starts to sound confusing.
All these things na how ojoro dey start.

Nothing concern anybody with intentional or unintentional handball.

If you stretch your hand carelessly away from ur body and it obstructs a ball that was clearly heading towards the goal post or another player being passed to ; it will be rightly judged as handball. If it happened in the box , you will be punished by a PK being awarded against you . It is what it is .

Those who play professional football won’t tell you they don’t know what the rule is . It’s straight and simple .

If a ref makes human error by making the wrong call , you can always call them out .

You see the South African penalty today , it is a clear penalty . Anybody that says otherwise clearly doesn’t understand the rule of the game well enough . Simple.

izzou:
Anyone who considers the issue of Terrorism and Banditry as something that deserves negotiation obviously has no plan to end it, or wants to live in deceit.

Did you think those particular bandits would lay down their weapons if the FG had released ISWAP members for the hostages?

If you offer those bandits whatever money in exchange for their weapons, they will drop it and go and buy fresh ones for money. It's simple.

Obi goofed, and I know it is so his Northern prospects won't be pissed. Sadly, the virus is spreading down south.

Buhari marched IPOB and is still marching it even in death. No form of negotiation for even a section that had a little reason to agitate.

Terrorists that are demanding for release of their commanders, what do they think they need the commanders for? Shebi na to plan and carry more dastardly act.

Those are the same set of people he's suggesting tbey should use non-kinetic kinikan for. Dem never ready.

Na big time nonsense be the idea of negotiating with bandits, boko haram and fulani herdsmen. Whatever you offer them will only be used to fuel more criminality and nothing more .

raumdeuter:
A few weeks ago this was not a penalty

That's the problem of the ref that didn't make the right call, not the ref that officiated today's match.

Where will his hand be if it wasn't in natural position

— Timmie✨ (@timmieobafemi) June 18, 2026

Natural position means your hand by your side, not outstretched far from your body. His left hand (which the ball hit) was clearly stretched away from his side.

That's a clear penalty.

iamoyindamola:
They will soon slap one of these female referees in this second round, it's not a pk

It's PK jor, his arm was not in the natural position and it blocked the ball that was most likely going to be a shot attempt.

Nothing concern ref whether it was intentional handball or not. Na similar to PK wey Sissoko concede against Loserpool in that champions league final 2019
