Don't get me wrong. I believe we have the best squad at the moment because that squad almost won the league last season and we are yet to lose any key player in the team, rather we have strengthen the team compare to others. (My personal opinion though).

On Arteta, many on this thread know I am one of the few that stan Arteta. A rookie that grew to become one of the prominent managers in the world under a short time. And right now I don't see any manager available out there that I will prefer to take over Arsenal except maybe Zidane. But all that said there are still 3 active managers I rate above Arteta; Pep, Ancelotti and Klopp. They also have great squads and Arteta will be facing them this season.

So my post was not to discredit Arteta, I was only agreeing with Jodera that while I agree we have squad that can win the league, there are still better managers Arteta will be facing... Reason I cannot say like many that we must win the league and/or UCL. Let me see how Arteta fair against Pep in the Community Shield and we see how ready and competitive we are.

Now I get ur point bro

Spy360:
You cannot separate the team from the manager especially if it's the manager that actually built the team.

This Arsenal that we are all salivating about was built by Arteta. Give him the credit or else don't credit the team at all.

That's what I think too

How because ramsdale miss pass
What of zinny that couldn't track his man
Didn't we complain of zinny since LFC match
But some said he was playing to arteta instructions
Why did arteta remove him after LFC equalized

Whatever me or u says doesn't actually matter; It's the coach and his crew who know what they instructed the players, see how they are playing to or against instruction that can actually decide whether a player should sit on the bench or not. It's the coach that knows whether he needs Zinchencko in the game irrespective of his mistakes in previous matches.


Me and u are on the outside and we only know what we think we know.

[color=royalblue]Lagos to Niger (Jebba) is possible in 8 hours.

Lagos to Ilorin is 5 hours, and Jebba can be done from Ilorin in 3.

But Lagos to Niger (Kontagora) cannot be done in 10 hours sef [/color]

Niger state is just too big !

iamoyindamola:
Because we have seen how arteta threw some games away even when the quality were there.
If everyone is rating players and not the coach then something is definitely wrong with the coach

It goes both ways; Sometimes the coach will do the right thing and the players will throw the match away .

Go and watch that Southampton match all over again, Na the players lose that particular match; they let in an early goal and from there things went downhill.

It is not by countries o. You no say Lagos to Lome short pass Lagos to Benin City.

1 week like that i drove 300km on the first day. The 2nd day i drove 600km. The 3rd day i drove 300km. The 4th day i drove 350km. Then the 5th day 150km. The 6th day i drove 700km.

I dey always do things wey go make me live long

Maybe cos I’ve seen too many people die and people move on after few words of tributes. Just look at Dagrin’s mum begging for financial assistance online while somebody somewhere has been collecting royalty on his songs over these years . He paved the way for most people
Singing and rapping in Yoruba today , but the world has moved on. Dagrin died driving a small Nissan car, now we are in an era when Portable can crash BRABUS like it’s nothing 🤦‍♂️

You can drive 10 hours and you will still be inside the same state, and that is for the small states.

Unless you're driving at 250km/h and you never take your foot off the accelerator, ain't no way you're doing Lagos to Niger in 8 hours.

I once travel from Lagos to Niger within 9 hours tho I wasn’t driving sha . I’m sure the road has gone worse now 🤦‍♂️

iamoyindamola:
I enjoy long distance drive if I ain't the one driving
No be me go they frown face after reaching destination or they limp

I don’t even like traveling long distance at all irrespective of who dey drive . I only travel long distance when necessary

Itsrm:
I don't think they drive that fast. Speed limit things. And can you even drive Lagos to Niger in 8 hours? That's the best drive time I've had from Lagos to Port Harcourt and I drove like a maniac.

I dey talk hypothetical ni; imagination wan finish me !

princeabdul:
Lagos to Niger in 8 hours is old story chief, even kaduna to kano is 4 hours

I actually mean without the bad roads in Ogbonosho, Jebba side and other parts of the journey with bad road

Lagos to Niger 8 hours? When last did you drive cross country boss?

I’ve not even gone as far as Ogun state since 2017 -2018 or thereabouts . I stopped unnecessary travels since Buhari’s first term Bandits and Herdsmen took over highways .

ObaIgwe1:
qHonestly we have the best squad at the moment, unfortunately I cannot say the same about our manager... Though I believe Arteta is fast improving but like I said earlier on this thread, I cannot rate him better than Pep and Klopp.

The community shield should give us an idea of how competitive we will be this season.

How do we have the best squad compared to other top 6 teams ?

How do we have the best squad but the manager is not best ? Did the squad just assemble themselves and just become the best squad without the manager having a strong hand in it ?

Most of the players speak highly of Arteta and the role he played in them reaching their peak . I don’t know why we fans just wish to rate the players A grade and then give Arteta B. Why ?

Okay, I've read the above and in my personal opinion I think GSK Nigeria are trying to blackmail GSK UK probably because they(GSK Nigeria Shareholders ) are being given a short end of the stick.

1. Delisting from the stock exchange market is not the same thing as trying to shut down GSK Nigeria operations.

2. GSK Nigeria needs funds; GSK UK is willing to provide those funds but will do so on their own terms. Obviously one of those terms includes increasing their stake in the Nigerian subsidiary thereby making moves to eventually push minority investors out.

3. Even Nigerian owned companies, when a major shareholder takes charge, sometimes they move for delisting the company off the stock exchange market for strategic reasons best known to them. Go through this link and u will see list of companies that have delisted voluntarily off the stock exchange market https://ngxgroup.com/exchange/data/delisted-companies/

A public official that rigged his meter and hasn't paid Nepa bill for 3 years dey complain of cost of electricity...

If only he had an atom of self awareness...

He will always regret the day he made that slip

nihilistjnr:
Since when do you pay Nepa bill though?



You're a civil servant that doesn't work your contracted hours whilst collecting full salary, doesn't pay tax whilst collecting FG benefits and emoluments, and hasn't paid NEPA bill in over 3 years.

When you ask for the heads of public officials to roll, I hope you picked out a basket for your own...

Let the civil servant who bypassed pre-paid meter breath ! Do not suffocate them !

I read the link u posted and It's obvious the major concern issues being faced by GSK Nigeria is what is stated below:

“We must mention that it continues to be very challenging with foreign exchange non-availability affecting our ability to settle foreign currency-denominated trade payables with product suppliers. As a result, it remains difficult to maintain consistent supply to the market,” Onuzo explained.

How does the above translate to GSK UK bullying GSK consumer Nigeria to exit the market?

For starters GSK UK is not a charity organization but a profit oriented organization that won't hesitate to pull off their franchise if GSK Nigeria is not living up to their financial responsibilities to them. GSK Nigeria is not the only one that leverages on a Global brand's franchise na. Tolaram group has franchise to producse Nestle products, Cadbury products etc in Nigeria and I believe they are living up to their financial responsibilities.

All I see in that businessDay piece is GSK Nigeria lamenting the hostile economic environment within which they operate and how it has affected their financial responsibility to their global partner and may further lead to their demise as a manufacturing company. One way or the other, It has to do with our economy which the APC government is currently in control of

aieromon:
This has nothing to do with the current economic situation. GSK UK is trying to bully GSK Consumer Nigeria and exit the country.

DissTroy:
I just randomly remembered how Brymo staked his music career on the Altar of Corns months ago, with deep-seethed glaring targeted tribalism and other forms prejudice in support of Tinubu.

Months later, he's gotten nothing out of it, and maybe even worse off for it - less engagements with his art and brand, and having to recline into his (digital) shell giving how Tinubu's administration is turning out.

I local-searched his name on Twitter minutes ago. Few mentions but mostly insults.

All for what? We could ask these questions of those who attacked, trolled, and hounded those who predicted the outcome of a Tinubu presidency and campaigned for better options.

Ask yourselves when you're all calm and reclining to have your me-time: All for what? Who really were the enemies of Nigeria's development all along? Those you attacked or the reflection you see in the mirror.

Maybe Tinubu's administration has been favoring Brymo codedly and he's been going lowkey with it. Who knows?

mostob:
I no go lie chief, you get point about Pep. However, their midfield may not be the same again. Even their attack is weak now going by the depth. I wouldn't conclude yet sha because window never close.

But the same 32 years old were so important for him to win the treble
Gungodan was important for the fa cup victory while Mahrez was all round better than grealish enroute to the UCL victory too
They lost 2 very good squad players so it's still a defect

Dey play! Didn't he sell Cancelo after he helped him win the league and got Akanji that helped him win treble playing almost everywhere along the backline?

If Guardiola is letting a player go, he's not doing that to have a weak team to manage, he's doing that to bring in more quality players to help him go a step further.

How can a man be a feminist? Doesn't make sense to me.

All the male feminists in the west are destroying the rights of their men and giving em to women. That's why men gets easily canceled over frivolous issues.

Have u heard of Solomon Buchi? He's another Male Feminist

GloriousGbola:
It actually isn't that complicated.

It is the same thing happening to Davido.

When you are not street and you are mixing with people who are. For Davido na knack, for the babe na hustle. For the doctor he was doing a good deed, for the babe she was roping in an ajeburra sucker.

Same way you have to be very hard with your artisans or driver or domestic help. Show them kindness and next thing they are running you street.

Can kovavic do what gungogan was doing
In rice we also got one of the best CM in england
Don't forget we didn't lose any key players yet and he might still lose bernado

Lolz.

You are missing the point. Mahrez and Gundogan are 32 year old players Guardiola need to let go in order to bring equally talented but younger players to replace them. They still have other good players on their books who are still under contract, so it's no doubt Guardiola still possess the strongest team in the league irrespective of who will leave or has already left.
