It's now a worrying trend that each time we go to take corners or try to attack enmasse we always end up conceding goals irrespective of how good we are playing.

Omo! Arteta needs to do something about this o

I am saying we can't dominate any team in midfield without partey
And midfield have been winning us matches because of total domination
But we dominated city winning more possessions in the process.

Actor Kunle Afod with an interesting post on his IG handle on how the whites impoverished Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa.

Apparently, the whites and our leaders are responsible for the sorry state of Africa as a whole.
Recently i saw a video online and ur thoughts on Africans not following the ways of their colonial masters/ex-oppressors like lame duck crossed my mind.

In the video a teacher was seen using a very a whip on the students who laid on the floor waiting for it to get to there turn to receive serious lashing on the back and buttocks. (I don't know what exactly their offence was tho).

So we have a lot of our people in the comment section criticising the teacher for resorting to corporal punishment in this age and time. They claim in the modern world there's no place for whipping kids like that cos such things don't happen in the western world.

Now we also have people in the comment section who pointed it out that they got straight in their teenage years due to serious whipping from teachers, parents and guardians who saw to it that they didn't become truant/drop outs.

Now my question is this ; what do u think? Do u think the western wokeness of not whipping a child works for Africans? Should we align with these new woke culture or we should stick with our old ways of spare the Rod and spoil the child?

Time will tell
What does this mean? I'm guessing if we lose or draw u will come back and say u told me their midfield was physical but I didn't listen.

The fact is those players in Aston Villa cannot be termed physical compared to the teams we've played against in the past.

as a banking guy, you know where i'm coming from
I actually do understand that "Na who dem catch be thief " for Nigeria. But what I just find puzzling is the fact that Obi is a politician, he's ruled a state in Nigeria, he's contested against other politicians who can fight dirty and have resources to dig into him and his business dealings before he became a politician. None of these people has been able to dig dirt on him enough to stick.

I mean dem Coscharis are not even politicians and their past dealings made it to the news. Is it that Obi's opponents are not doing enough digging or what? Or is he shrewd enough to have covered his tracks? (NB: I'm talking about the import/customs scam u mentioned in Ur post here o, not any other matter)

Your hero Peter obi became a billionaire as a trader

Pure import export

Innoson, zinox, coscharis are all hybrid importers with a local industrail footprint and even so, at different times they have been implicated in customs scams

You cannot be a successful importer in Nigeria without patronage and corrupt customs officers

So you can stick all your empty bs about Saint obi where the sun doesn't shine, hypocrite!

Pathetic self-servicer who wished obi dead for incompetence now swallowing his vomit t faster than the cum of blended junior students.
I actually thought this paragraph was going to end with Obi being implicated in customs scam like innoson, zinox and coscharis 🤷‍♂️

[color=royalblue]If there is any reason Obi should be considered, it is the fact that his victory means the people have come to discover that they have the power over their leaders.

Tinubu fought to end PDP's rule (I commend him for that), but he has now become the exact same thing PDP was; Rewarding failure with more time.

You cannot dissociate the man from his party, and it is true. Elements of Buhari's incompetent team will be part of it. Imagine a Ganduje that has his robbery on the internet, becoming part of those making our decisions. Let's not deceive ourselves abeg


I don't see Nigeria becoming better, but one thing is clear; If APC wins, we would come back 8 years later and wish Buhari was here.
[/color]
Baba at this point I believe it's exhausting trying to convince anybody again. If the travails of the last 8 years has not taught the common man(not party faithfuls o) a lesson, nothing else will.

I engaged an elderly woman yesterday(She's a senior civil servant who works in the ministry of education). She was heaping curses on Emefiele for the woes of the common man due to the naira redesign and all. Then I told her it appears her curses are misdirected/not all inclusive cos I don't think she listened to Buhari's broadcast. She agreed she didn't listen.

Then I told her to try and check it out or read the manuscript. She should watch how Buhari used "I" first person singular pronoun in most parts where he talked about the policy. He kept on saying "I authorised", " I consulted", "I directed"... etc. I told her Buhari did it and owned it with his chest that maybe she should think about that.

This woman then went on another round of curses directed at Buhari and started talking about how he is doing all of this to sabotage "asiwaju" and he will be put to shame in Jesus name. She then ranted about how Buhari has misruled us for 8 years and that she has a 2018 graduate in her house which she still feeds cos he couldn't get a job under this Buhari administration ( Surprisingly she voted Buhari for second term in 2019 o; I discovered this from her asiwaju talks)

Guess what? She is determined to vote asiwaju of APC in 2023 and believes he will win cos he will get sympathy votes from people who feel he's being persecuted. She went on to talk about never contemplating voting Obi cos she isn't "Ọmọ àlè". Only an ọmọ àlè will vote for Obi leaving Tinubu. She is not interested in whatever he wants to do. At this point I knew my job was done.

What even intrigued me more about her was that she confessed she has relocated her PVC to somewhere on the island cos she wants to vote for a certain house of reps APC candidate whom she wants to win.(God knows whatever promise that person might have promised her and the political group she is leaning towards). She said her husband was even concerned that this one she's carrying the election matter for head as if any of her family members were on the ballot.

Now imagine the length that woman would go to vote APC back into power despite complaining of suffering under the same APC government.... There's no level of enlightenment that would make that woman not vote APC, she's made her mind up.

In Nigeria I believe the people know the truth but the truth didn't make them free. Why? Because they don't want to be free!

Does any beat pounded yam amongst the solids? For me, I would rate them in the following order:
Pounded Yam
Akpu
Fufu Egba
Eba
Wheat
Amala
Poundo (not my thing just like the last which will be semo).
The swallow I enjoy eating are Pounded yam, amala and eba in that order.

I dislike fufu cos of the smell and how starchy the whole thing is.

I dislike wheat cos of the coarseness of the swallow.

I don't rate semo cos it's tasteless.

I only eat pundo if Pounded yam and amala are not available

For all his brash behaviours/utterances, his stomach infrastructure and his constant drama while he was a governor ; it seems Fayose was also a prophet too.

Fayose in 2016 prophesied that those who brought Buhari to power will soon end up in his stomach. Now Buhari stomach Don over-full with so many of them.

Shey Fayose no go open ministry like this?

This is a video of El-Rufai complaining about Jonathan’s administration that dollar moved from ₦120 to ₦240.

Watch how Lai Mohammed was laughing gleefully in the video say this man dey cook! grin
Today we have El-Rufai of APC attacking the Buhari APC in which Lai serves as a minister. Lai even said they are not aware of any mysterious cabal El-Rufai his old friend has been hallucinating about recently.

E come be like say APC na the figurative biblical tower of babel and a superior power has decided to scatter their languages.

TrebleChamp:
Them don dey comply ooh, them no wait for Supreme Court again. This man brought #50m to CBN, it is possible for politicians to use people like this dude to deposit their hidden money

https://twitter.com/diisa2002/status/1626274511984242690?t=aDAuH8ZiNV7qiWK1rk2zjg&s=19[/quote]The issue is not about politicians depositing their old money, it's about getting the new notes in exchange for the old ones; It will never happen at least not now.

They can send as many as their money mules to deposit billions with CBN, but how will they get new notes cash? CBN is only going to pay the let's 50m old notes they bring into their bank accounts. Nobody will hand them new notes as cash.

Now with CBN, EFCC, ICPC etc going around policing banks as to how they disburse/ration the new notes released to them.by CBN, It becomes increasingly difficult for a bank to collect let's say 30m and they will give all of it to their high networth customers who are politicians that just deposited 50m with CBN.

In fact, the politician will not even have access to his cash until after 4 weeks.( I think this was delibrate just to frustrate those of them that have young smart techy guys doing their thinking for them and may want to play the system). I think that's why the governors rushed to Supreme court instead of starting the case from Federal high court that has jurisdiction in such matters.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 3:29am On Feb 17, 2023
This El-Rufai come be like the Nyesom Wike of North West region. A governor who doesn't control any security agency like the police, army,DSS etc in a federation is threatening to arrest and prosecute those who reject old notes in the state he governs. The question is which security agencies will carry out the arrests? Do they have Kaduna state neighbourhood corps or he intends to use the common citizens to arrest common citizens?

No matter the side of the divide u are, what El-Rufai is doing is clearly a recipe for disaster. More like a self-destruct button he's pressing over there. I pity the few ignorant people that will take El-Rufai's word as the law and get caught in the middle of this whole cold/hot war between their governor and his former "Baba".

I don't know who the guy in the video is, but I think he's got some points especially where he talked about money being money just because of CBN's guarantee. The moment a piece of paper loses CBN'S guarantee, it ceases to be money and it will lose the people's trust. All the gazillion state address by a state government will not make it money ; not even supreme court order.

I am using Ibadan as a reference point. I am not based in Ibadan. Came to Ibadan to change one huge sum of money when banks decided to mess me up.

There were so many places on fire yesterday because of that inhumane policy, and not Ibadan alone. And I am so sure the people that were causing mayhem are the people that earn day to day. Not the Governent workers . Not the big men.

When I found myself trying to change old note to new notes 2 days ago. It was hell. As I was clamouring, I saw a bikeman that was so pissed that 1,300 naira of old notes were with me.

The money meant the whole world to him. And I was just smiling. Because amount of old money wey dey my hand. Omooor.
U took old money to bank 2 days ago(14th February) when CBN already instructed banks not to accept old notes since 10th February? 🤷‍♂️

Like u were actually taking the Supreme court stay of action injunction serious?
