From the weakest in set pieces to the most difficult to defend in set pieces
Omo na real upgrade, if only wengay learn this tweak he for they compete for league not top 4

Na that inflexibility kill wenger . We go dey Chop 4 goals yet we go still dey knock ball around the field

Roland17:
It is an advantage we previously were not exploiting. We have size and length in Saliba/ Gabu/ Rice inside the box during set pieces. Also, our kickers have gotten better.

Yes o , those aforementioned players are very strong in the air . Our crossers in Saka , Trossard , Martinelli have really worked on their crosses too .

It is very obvious now that we are a very difficult team to defend against when it comes to set pieces .

Arteta and his team should take their flowers 💐

Zinchencko scored a spectacular goal to make it 3-1!

Trossard goal and assist .

Saliba is the Idan gangan of arsenal !

Saliba makes it 2-1

Unfortunately Trossard might have caught an injury scoring that goal

Goal ball !

Passing sideways and backwards is Jorginho’s talent

swiz123:
Things were going well for them until that bad luck Horjbjerg entered.

Even wolves dey create chances pass them. Team wey been dey play beautiful football o. God forbid!

Na ibime get this mail

Roland17:
Yes Wolves!!! Sarabia with an impressive contro and volley to score..

Baba equalizer!!!!

Bloody Spuds

They just 4cking scored spurs 2-1

Water don dey find its level

Roland17:
The only thing better than watching Spuds fans in pain, is the air I breath for free

Aswear , joy just full my heart as the goal entered

It gladdens my heart to see Spurs about to drop another point 🤗

Oh so it was Awolowo that was jailed, some one said jailing Awolowo saved him from being killed with Akintola and his crew

Yeah .

Let me try to summarize this as much as I can .

After the election which Akintola and his new party won, there was serious political crises in the western region . People’s houses were burnt , general unrest and federal government had to declare state of emergency and all.

Some of these incidents were being watched by the military who had become more politically conscious seeing how politicians were mismanaging the country .

The military guys took over , planned to kill or arrest most of the political office holders ( A plan which failed cos those in the eastern region couldn’t succeed and it gave the coup a coloration of an ethnic coup ) if they offer resisiatnce .

That was how Akintola , Ahmadu Bello , Tafawa Balewa, Okotie-Eboh and the rest lost their lives in the hands of the coupists . All of these happened while Awolowo was already in prison after Tafawa Balewa government found him , dem Jakande , Olabisi Onabanjo and co guilty of treason .

So it’s true Awolowo May as well have died that day if he wasn’t in prison . Even Azikiwe was saved because he was out of the country .

iamoyindamola:
I really wan know why Awolowo and Akintola no gree
Awolowo is a hero while akintola is the villian

This sis simply due to ethnic politics .

Awolowo the leader of AG the opposition party believes AG does not need to form an alliance with the majority party NPC which is more of a northern party .

Akintola ( Awolowo’s deputy ) believes in AG aligning with NPC so that they can have more strong hold at the national level .

Akintola eventually aligned with NPC , formed his own party , won regional election against AG in a controversial election that was marred with rigging and violence ; the western people never really accepted Akintola for the role he played in having Awolowo jailed for treason ; etc .

Las las the two legends were playing politics but the tribal aspect of the politics divided the opinion of people about the two men.

[color=royalblue]On a very good day, we should have a roundtable about Nigeria's history on this thread.

There are opinions you read that you haven't come across before

I go like learn and relearn[/color]

I second this post

Ibime:
If you notice the Igbos had little or no problem with Abacha. Abacha was dealing with people they deemed to have snaked them in the civil war like the Yorubas and Ogonis

That's when you had people like Arthur Nzeribe and Ojukwu fully supporting Abacha and niggas like Peter Obi making their money in the ports under Abacha regime

Abacha meanwhile is a PortHarcourt boy. He was stationed there for years, running Bori Camp. That's where Saro Wiwa and the rest know him from.

A lot of shiit don happen for this country o. These are the kind of history that are missing today .

This is actually a long held allegation against Ken and there is some truth to it. However the devil is in the detail

Ken was antiBiafra, he spearheaded the information campaign against Biafra in the South East and he was a key spearhead in the creation of Rivers State

Whilst Biafra was fighting to Japa from Nigeria, Kens goals were for Rivers State to Japa from Eastern Region

In addition, lots of properties were confiscated from Igbost sure about this particular allegation but it may hold some truth

Rivers people also had properties and naming rights seized under the old Eastern region.

One example is my great uncle who founded Rivers State College of Education. He cleared bush, founded and developed the school in D Line area. When it came to naming the road, Eastern Government named it Mbonu street after an Igbo man who he put on his board of directors for the school. A lot of this happened under Eastern Government. That's why after the war the Ikwerres renamed all their areas back to original name by adding R in front of everything, like Rumuola, Rumuobiakani etc

Hmmm a lot of internal wrangling happening in the south south - south east region leading to bad blood and rumor lingering on both sides of the divide

GloriousGbola:
There have been repeated efforts to rehabilitate abachas image. Some 'the people's general' nonsense like that.

The irony is that the manner in which abacha died should be all the final nail in the coffin of his reputation for a true believer.

The man died fking prostitutes. Illegal sexual intercourse. And it was not hidden or covered up. You die in public disgrace that is Allah disavowing your ass. No way you are smelling near aljannah if you die while commiting adultery which can only be restituted by stoning to death.

It’s sickening seeing people trying to refurbish Abacha’s image 25 years after his death was celebrated by all and sundry .

Molue and Danfo drivers literally gave people free ride that day celebrating his death . Like the whole nation rejoiced a tyrant bowed out ignobly.

How can anybody now just think of gaslighting and making villains out of those that celebrated his infamous demise that year ? 🤦‍♂️

Please give us this gist as a son of the soil that lived those times

Cc gloriousgbola

He said innocent people were caught in the crossfire while Abacha was trying to fix Nigeria

Most likely Saro Wiwa is one of the innocent people caught in the cross fire .

Damn! Amoto94 is one twisted guy . I don’t even know how to describe him and his school of thought on some issues .

Another side of the coin 🪙

https://twitter.com/UdoSike/status/1722967151084965910?t=BUfgHebLTa4CrAHiEpCnjA&s=19

This is what we are talking about .

Somebody just wakes one morning , vents his anger and frustration at another person who is remembering her dad(who is actually a real life hero ), makes unsubstantiated allegations against the memory of the dead and then has everybody in the comment section falling over themselves taking his side because they don’t even know Ken Saro-Wiwa was till his last breath a hero who fought and won against government and International Oil Companies exploiting and killing his people for oil which everybody benefits from today .

E don start oooo. Bello and his attempts to cause havoc in kogi east.

Kudos to NA.

God pass am.

I honestly don’t think Nigeria is ripe for the western kind of democracy and I suggest we give up right now !

Imagine an election that is supposed to be people going to vote for whoever they believe will make their lives better based on the campaign of all candidates …… some thug armed with gun wants to thwart the eventual result of the polls, the military steps in and get the non-state actors killed .

An election with so much bloodshed on all sides , a winner eventually emerges by crook or through the books ; yet u expect the state to move forward because everybody needs to move on and work for the good of the state . Those people who lost loved ones will never wish the state well.

This democracy is overrated

These days many young people complain about mental health, any small thing mental health mental health

You build all that from childhood. Do you know how many of my mental health muscle got developed by babes yabs, psych yourself for weeks chyke babe she just like you head to toe and hiss then walk away? How boys will just sit under tree and yab each other as fun, thats why insults no dey pain me, we do it for fun, how many rejection left and right, do you know how much of my mental health got battered when ASUU went on strike for 1 whole year and I had to sit at home, or by that Ekwensu club called Man Utd on that night in 1999 at Nou camp? (My eleda is still punishing them for it)

There is technology there is real world, go outside technology and smell the green grass outside unless you are planning to relocate into Meta world created by Zuckerberg

Nowadays once these boys smoke weed dem don believe say they have psyched themselves up and can face anything

Generally our morals are being eroded. Money is the new cool. You'll only be heard and seen if you have money.

[b]That's why Yahoo even thrives, parents who know their children have no skills or handiwork will see their child buying all sort of luxury cars and all, yet they are not disturbed. Some parents even go as far as enrolling their wards with these fraudsters. [/b]What do most of our celebrities promotes nowadays? Money. What do our artiste sings about? Money, fraud and weed. All these are easily accessible and consumed by the Youth through social media and it shapes narratives and all. Na from social media we begin hear "school na scam" or "who school help". Its one of the major pandemic that Soyinka is referring to.

The same technology and social media has simplified access to information, access to learning and all.

A very nuanced and complex discussion.

Definitely our morals have gone to the dogs; the poverty in the land also does not help matters .

Times are hard ; parents now have to look up to kids they couldn’t even feed properly nor give quality education . They look up to those kids to feed well, own a car, build a house , etc .

How will such parent be able to talk to the child and expect him to listen on morality ? The hunger is a major factor that has partnered with the social media factor .

seankafor:
he is a fool, he doesn't know how to leave the occasion when the ovation is loud..

He wants to still be remaining relevant forever..

He should get out..


And what won't make me call him useless face to face? Is he God?

Doesn't he call other people insulting names?

Who is he that I can't call him stupid? Is he not a mere human being with flesh and blood?

Na una sef dey give am morale to be saying all these kind nonsense..

People like Elon musk and so many scientists who has helped humanity in the best possible way has not been a fanactic like the old fool..

But it's the cult pioneer that I can't call a fool..

Maybe I can't call him a fool if he happens to hold a gun.. but aside that, keep me and him in a closed room, I'll call him a very big fool

U see ehn, just like u I don’t agree with some of the things Wole Soyinka said before , during and after the 2023 general elections . It appears as though he’s not the man he used to be before .

But one thing I won’t do is now going about insulting him, calling him all sorts of names simply because I don’t agree with his position on issues like u are doing .

Wole Soyinka has done some great things for this country . Just like GloriousGbola pointed out, Wole Soyinka was one of the voice of truth who believe the Igbo’s were unfairly treated following the aftermath of the first coup , the counter coup and eventual Biafra war that broke out afterwards . He’s one of the people that risked his life trying to get all parties avert a needless war that has sowed the seed of disunity & distrust in this country ever since .

Wole Soyinka certainly has had his failings as a human , but no be make Gen Z to come dey reason am the way u dey do.

seankafor:
we can't have it both ways I guess

All in all, the positives of technology and social media outweighs the negatives in hundred folds

Soyinka is just like this old men that don't like to see youngins blowing their lifetime net worths in a night..

He is kinda jealous that youths of these days don't have to go through the struggles they did in their own time..

And long shall his words continue because he's keep seeing small boys doing their thing and balling even more harder than he'd ever made or ever think 💬..

Soyinka takes high of himself.. he sees himself as the El dorado of whatever comes in his head.. datti called him a useless man and that's what he is..

He is a fanactic and extremist and should not be taking any serious

These are the negatives of this era he’s talking about .

Normally u no go dey the same space with Soyinka and call him a useless man, extremist and fanatic .

If u have reservations about him , his line of thought and views on topical issues, u will find a polite way of communicating ur disagreement with him without sounding condescending .

It’s this new era that makes it easy for u to just stay inside ur house and call a Nobel Laurete recognized for his works “useless “.

IN SEARCH FOR HUMANITY


14. They talk about Israel’s security. On Oct 7, some 1,400 Israelis were said to have died. Since then almost no deaths. But 10,000 Palestinians have now been killed. How many more do the Israelis want to kill?


DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD
November 11, 2023

Can u imagine this level of thinking.

You kill 1,400 Israelis for no justifiable reason , then u want to be in a position to dictate the number of Palestinians Israel can kill in return?. smh

This is just a classic case of "He who fetched ant-infested firewood should be ready to dine with lizards."

All these emotional diatribe will not move anybody. He should use his connect to advise Hamas to release the hostages being held by them and save the palestinians more misery. Simple!
