Is it not obvious, you know how many years we suffered from our American owner and his other sports franchise were winning big especially his NFL team

I know Silent Stan na business man and only after the money he puts into his business (which arsenal is one ) , but I no know say Americans refer to football as “glorified jogging “ …… like they don’t even know how funny that their Super Bowl looks to us sef

donjazet:
Elon musk just announced that he's buying Manchester united. Is he trolling or what?

I am more concerned about the guy who thinks American football makes sense and the real football is glorified jogging . Na ment or na malaria?

@ egbon Raumdeuter shay na so Americans dey reason for real life ni ?

That incident probably hit him hard.

Most top videos are now produced by TG and he rolled out good stuff recently.

TG Omori is good ! I just watched the video now and the guy got everything on point from the setting/location to the customes, choreography and the clarity/sharpness of the video sef . The fact that I know most of the places he used and how he was able to make a beautiful video of it makes it relatable

donjazet:
Bro you are correct as to the yoruba-igbo peaceful coexistence.
As I've said numerously before, no other tribe have as much coexistence as igbos and Yorubas. I myself have several intertribal cousins. I have several relatives on both sides who married inter-tribally.

After the war, many igbo businesses were returned to their Igbo owners.

Which is ironically one of the reasons I now hate Tinubu. Blueraydick get this next paragraph I'm writing very well.

Since Tinubu came into Lagos, this narrative has begun to form like he's the owner or grand leader of Lagos,for the past few years, Lagos politics has increasingly become tribalistic in nature, you hear this common narrative, that yorubas gave Igbo lands for businesses and now they are trying to do anyhow in Lagos.

That narrative has thrived because igbos don't fall under the Tinubu's political enchantment.
Mind you, igbos have been in Lagos even precolonial Nigeria.

Nollywood industry was formed in Lagos pre Tinubus Lagos, actors and actresses like nkew owoh, Clem ohameze, patience ozokwor, Genevieve nnaji, kanayo, and many of these legends all made their names in Lagos! All these in the 80s and 90s.

And now you hear people telling them that they left their homelands and came to TINUBU'S Lagos and are against him?

Suddenly one would think Tinubu is who made the entire Lagos state!
And these false narratives have been pushed repeatedly by his propaganda media houses which he owns such that the repeated lies now bear semblance.

Blueraydick am I lying?
It's no longer egregious to hear that Tinubu made Lagos! That a drug baron seized the entire political structure of the most influential state in Nigeria and now has it completely in his palms now means that there was no Lagos before he came! All the infrastructural developments that happened 100 years before Tinubus time mean nothing.

Is it today that people started emigrating to Lagos? Is this not because Lagos has been built to indeed be the economic capital of the country? With the international airport there and the deepest seaport there for the past 50 years.

But the man keeps using the phrase, Tinubus Lagos.

As much as I am not a fan of Tinubu and his political leanings , I cannot in good conscience accuse him of being a tribal bigot or pushing the narrative . He’s far from being one with what I’ve seen o.

One may accuse him of institutionalizing “agbero”/ area boys and other stuff , but I don’t see him as a bigot.

As regards Lagosians claiming to be real owner of Lagos and referring to Igbos as tenants who they gave land, well Lagosians have always been like that . In fact core Lagosians like Bode George still drag Tinubu for the same reason almost everyday . They tell other Yorubas too who migrated to Lagos the same thing , just that it doesn’t really sound well when it comes from a Yoruba to an Igbo person as against when it comes from a Yoruba to another Yoruba.

I think the fact that there’s social media now and people have access to some of the documentaries , videos and recordings of the civil war, the actors, the protagonists and antagonist has further escalated the tension between the tribal groups in Nigeria . An Igbo person would naturally be enraged seeing videos of malnourished children as a result of the war , only for him to be told that a Yoruba man advised the head of the Nigerian government to stop sending relief materials to the easterners because he was feeding the enemies ( soldiers ) and not the civilians caught in between the war.

Similarly Ahmadu Bello YouTube video comes to mind. Young people watching such videos will feel enraged that they’ve never been valued/have always been discriminated against from inception. Availability of such materials is what non-state actors and mischievous makers easily weaponize and misinform young people who had little or no knowledge of what exactly happened back then.

Since the death of that dancer kodak( I think that was her stage name ) at Clearance’s place that year , I’ve really not heard/read much about him like that . More like he’s not been in the media space for a while .

donjazet:
Have you had any awkward personal experience with any of the candidates supporters?

My next door neighbor is a Tinubu supporter , he thinks Obi being Igbo makes him unsuitable for the job because he believes Obi is only being supported by Igbos to actualize the Biafran dream . Well I don’t know if he’s had an unpleasant encounter with Igbos in the past , but he seem not to like Igbos sha . He accepts Tinubu seem unwell but like some other Tinubu supporters he believes Tinubu is not vying for the post of a football coach or any other position that requires physical fitness . In fact he once said if Tinubu gets there he will surely get better just like buhari cos he will have access to the best of medical care. . (NB : This my neighbor actually lived in the UK for years and is well exposed)

Like I said earlier , I do more of listening than talking in such instances and I actually do not like making enemies out of people cos of politicians .

I’ve also met quite a handful of Obi supporters who are too aggressive about it even in a business environment . The way they go about it will make fence sitters not tilt towards their side cos there’s so much bitterness and emotion in their message instead of trying to sell their candidate on whatever merit they perceive him to have .

I think all camps have them in numbers sha

donjazet:
Tinubu campaign and tribalism na 5 and 6.
Can't you see joezinho who is even about to leave the country and immigrate to a foreign land still whipping up tribal sentiments? I'm weak bro. [b]Blueraydick is actually right. I thought Nigerians are ready to move past tribal sentiment but it seems it's set to be worse given the ethnic makeup of the major candidates. [/b]But the worst defaulter of tribal campaigning right now is no doubt Tinubus camp. This inane attempt to link Obi and IPOB together. To link his supporters as ipob supporters, the ethno-religious campaign slogan. Emilokan etc.

I didn’t just make that up in my head when I said it and I didn’t just say it based on what I read on this thread or nairaland front page alone .

I live in Lagos , I listen to radio programs I hear people of different ethnic backgrounds call in , I meet people of different ethnic groups on a daily basis ……. I do more of listening than talking and I hear clearly the whole tribal undertone that surrounds the candidacy and followership of the top 3 candidates .

I tell u, we are not ready . Of a truth out of the 3 candidates Tinubu seem like the most detribalized on paper and going by his past antecedents but his followers/supporters are not ( They would gladly call u a bastard if they identify as a Yoruba supporting Obi). Obi has followership from other tribes but some of his supporters are extremists and bullies . Atiku supporters may not really be tribalists but they are willing to portray the other two candidates as tribalist and pitch them against each other .

donjazet:
That is the very worst offense bro. Not voting is still voting because someone must be there and you are purposely and deliberately relinquishing your right to some else.

And know this, we all directly feel the impact of governance, whether good or bad, so if you don't vote, you are denying yourself a serious responsibility.

You are literally cutting your nose to spite your face.
Wrong choice bro. There are like 10 candidates, you have to pick one who aligns with you but you must execute your civil responsibilities.

Popi is not based in Nigeria , that’s why he said he won’t be voting .

donjazet:
Before and after 24 hours in Lagos.
I've said it. Lagosians will shock Tinubu. They are ready to unchain themselves from the political slavery he emeshed Lagos in.

Let's not even talk about the fact that a presidential candidate decided to use an ethnic-colored slogan as his primary label.

Nothing screams tribalism and a rabid sense of entitlement like emi lokan. It's my turn!

DonJ , Of late I have taken time to actually do an assessment of the optics as regards the coming elections as it partains to the top 3 candidates and I’ve noticed serious tribal undertones amongst their supporters . Initially I thought maybe this 2023 elections will be different but it seems I was wrong after-all .

As it stands it looks more likely Peter Obi will win majority votes in the 5 southeastern states , along with maybe one or two states in the south south while Atiku of PDP will get majority in some
core northern states and north central as well. PDP’s influence in the south south will also get him votes there as well . Tinubu of APC will most likely win in most southwestern states and also get votes from the northeast as well .

Tribal sentiments will no doubt play a major
role in deciding the eventual winner going by the tribal card already being played by different supporters of the candidates . I may be wrong , but I don’t think we’ve grown past that tribal politics as a people.

As it stands I do not hold the believe that Peter Obi will not win at least 4 states as I opined earlier ( He will certainly win more than that ) . On this note I wish to cancel the bet we had earlier because as a matter of principle I always make it a point of duty not to lose any single kobo on a venture/idea I do not believe in.

I know u may want to ask if I’m OBIdient or not. For now I’m not. If and when campaign starts and Obi rolls out his manifestos and gives reasonable answers as to how he intends to achieve some of those promises , he will have my vote .

However if he doesn’t, he won’t get my vote . But one thing is sure , I’ve seen and read enough to know I won’t vote Tinubu particularly as it pertains to his health

The Nation's 2 most prominent Polytechnics are:

...Will henceforth be known as:

(NUC)

I’m curious about this upgrade of the two schools . What will happen to their lecturers who are mostly Masters degree holders ? Will the schools recruit PhD Holders in their stead or ask them to upgrade themselves within a certain period of time ?

Or is it just a change of name of the schools and not just change in the status from Diploma awarding institutions to higher degree awarding universities ?

Gbam !

I read every bit of the post . If indeed what the CCSO pen down happened the way it was narrated then it’s safe to say the Supreme Court is responsible for the needless bloodshed that has been going on in Imo state . ( I know how IPOB separatists have hijacked the whole thing and how non state actors in other parts of the east have used it to make live unbearable for innocent people )

As in WTF! More like the Supreme Court relied solely on Hope Uzodinma counsels’ prayers , and his Witnesses testimonies ( which are mostly inconsistent ) . The Supreme Court disregarded the Tribunal’s rulings which were based on facts , disregarded INEC’s evidences such as the form EC 40G (which they produced to show that election didn’t hold/was cancelled in the 388 polling units that were added to declare Hope the winner ) and also premised its judgement on testimony of party agents that even admitted to writing results themselves on result sheets .

Omo! My advice to people close to me has always been ; “If u get police matter for naija try settle am the naija way before it gets to court cos u are not assured of getting justice . What this post has only done is to confirm that line of thought to remain true .

kokaneprodigy:
The two players you mentioned play where? Midfield and forward . If you had said they play defense maybe I would understand.

My point is their attack is weakened and their defenders are exposed. This is not the first time something like this is happening to Liverpool. There was a season they chopped 6 or 7 goals in a match from an under dog for similar reason and VVD was there.

But peeps keep giving the accolade of Liverpool’s fortune to VVD.

Okay, I understand ur point and I agree with u that attack is Loserpool's major strength and not defence; their attack makes the job of their attack simple. However, with or withouth mane Loserpool's attack is always a threat to any team.

And yes Van Djik is a good defender, just that those who stan him always overhype him to high heavens without crediting those who do the dirty jobs like Matip as iamoyindamola pointed out.

kokaneprodigy:
Who else noticed how Liverpool can’t keep a clean sheet and and yet to get a win in their last two games. What changed? Mane left their attack now looks weak.
Look at how they are slicing through VVD, so called beat defender in the world, against the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace for that matter.
If tomorrow the attack gets strengthened y’all will start giving VVD some undue accolades.

Some peeps really underestimate the power of a potent attack.

It’s actually injuries that Is dealing with them not necessarily mane’s departure . Jota is out injured , Thiago is out injured and a host of other first team players .

I also do not buy the Van Djik overhype even though I believe he’s a good defender sha , but it’s obvious he’s not the only one that makes their team tick.

Anyways I hope their injury woes continue jare.

M.I , his album is coming out this Friday

I’m interested in this M.I new album dropping this Friday ; particularly the track that has both Olamide and Nas on it and the one that has Buju.

Make una no forget Rob Holding o. Our Dean of Defence

Honestly I forgot he was an Arsenal player sef. I'm sure by January if his story doesn't change he would be looking for a move away from the club cos he Don try. Only God knows how he will feel seeing Saliba walk into the starting line-up while he's strapped to the bench for years

Bluelines69:
Always love conte though, think they’ll both probably have a drink over this

Yeah, I like how both of them downplayed the incident at the press conference . They will most likely have a drink over it in the nearest distance future

Lush100:
Xhaka has raised his game but he still lacks speed.

Eventually Zincheko might replace him.

Xhaka has leadership qualities though.

Buy Zincheko is a very tough player.

Zincheko does not shy away from fight.
Go and watch Mancity vs Althletico.
Zinny dey pull player apart.

Zinchenko na my guy any day anytime. From the first time I've watched him in a city shirt I've loved his technical ability, he did one skillful pass on Saturday my head swell.

iamoyindamola:
Keep crying

Na u 4ck up. Next time just ignore totally and don't even make any side comment about it.

Conte na real dangbana choko

Lush100:
White's is not raising his defense game at all.
We want a backline that strikers will find it hard to breach.

Check minute 72, white left a ball for opponent and resulted in first goal,
He did it again and Arteta subbed him for Tomi.

White is just a major 4ck up away to the bench.... His defensive game no tight at all considering the options we now have

Ibime is typing

Capaldi:
Jorginho averages more forward passes than Partey. Jorginho last season alone created more big chances than Partey has created in his premier league career. Jorginho last season alone created the same amount of Big chances Thiago of Liverpool has in his premier league career. No Dm in the premier league creates as much big chances as Jorginho.

U need to check the post I quoted again. He asked where are the passes of other DM's and I told him other DM's like Partey do pass forward (and do not get criticised for sideways and backward passes like Jorginho by Chelsea fans)

I no dey drag who pass more with u or anybody

kokaneprodigy:
This gallas hair style Jesus has on, at least about 5 of them have something similar to it.

Meanwhile good season, Arsenal started well and Man-U at the bottom. It can’t get any better than this.

I thought only Jesus and Martinelli had the same Gallas haircut, maybe I didn't really look at them well enough sha.

The way man utd is going down, they will find all the mineral resources like gold, colombite, crude oil, Tin etc

Omo! That first goal is mad, rewatching it and it looks unreal. The fact that Jesus had to take-on Evans, dribbled past him, passed the ball to Martinelli who then passed the ball to Xhaka before giving it back to Jesus who had positioned himself to strike that wonderful ball passed the keeper is really something special to watch.

I hope the goal wins the goal of the month in the EPL.( I'm sure it will be Arsenal's goal of the month no doubt)

kokaneprodigy:
Am I the only one that noticed most Arsenal players are on similar hair cut?

Who and who have similar haircut?

lordfalcao:
every problem with Chelsea is jorginho..

Where are the passes of DM in other clubs.. where is Kante and other midfielders incisive passes.

Roll it out

Usual Scape hosting..

Thomas,Partey actually passes forward and does less of back passes/sideways passes which people criticise Jorginho for.

Although u have a point that a player like Kante who can't pass well pairing with Jorginho in the middle is definitely double Whammy for Chelsea going forward sha
