I think AJS once said he may not get married, just like Apostle Paul.
But I recently read about him having a fiance whom they've been together for a while now but the relationship hasn't progress to margiage.

I saw some posts on social media suggesting he has made it impossible for the said lady to move on since he's not taking the next step in their "relationship"

I feel if he wants to remain celebate, he should come out straight about it and steer clear of any female member in close contact

That's the favor na.

He's your ADC, even as a Colonel. So why rush to promote him again? What kind of message do we even send to promising soldiers who truly are laying their lives for Nigeria?

The Colonel in Sambisa will need to suffer, still go through course and write exam. The one enjoying exotic SUVs, gets promoted twice in a year.
It's a shame!

Some people will commot cloth and begin defending nonsense. Smh

This Pastor Chris Okafor and Doris matter has been keeping me entertained since yesterday.

The guy did a lot to her..Arrested her twice, and she still stayed with him?

Na Honey coated gbola e get?
What is their story exactly?

I don't understand how that man has stayed single for that long and his church members are not worried about his marital status. Doesn't his church elders see him frolicking with single women and get concerned about it?

I also learnt this man Apostle Selman is also not married and just planning to get married despite being well advanced in age. Shey their church members don't get worried that they counsel married couples and pray for singles to get happily married but they themselves are still found wanting as far as the marriage institution is concerned.

Reading the infamous " May this administration favor me and my family prayer " in the context of this discussion now, it is clear that the whole thing was coined with the thought that the government will be run on favoritism but we didn't get it on time.

Almost all the predictions I made about the man Tinubu has come to pass

I predicted if he's voted into power, his presidency will normalize nepotism and favoritism. All that has been happening but this particular one tops them all.

https://www.nairaland.com/8581214/controversy-tinubus-adc-nurudeen-yusuf

He is literally disregarding the rules and norms to favor his own beloveds. So he promoted his military aide twice in a year while disregarding the norms in the military and displaying total disregard for whatever other military men may feel about the abberation.

PS : Ye Political hallelujah boys that may want to quote this post to yarn okpata in defense, please don't bother. I won't waste my time trying to read what anybody write to defend favoritism.

As if you wouldn’t all be here bragging and dragging us if you did break the records.

The truth is that some of you are afraid to even talk about it because failing to break it would only lead to being dragged. Yet deep down, all of you are quietly praying that your team gets the chance to break it.
The bold is big cap 🧢

You stay in your house guessing what is the mind of fans of a football club all over the world 😏.

He say " deep down" 😂😂😂

You can't show evidence of Arsenal fans here bragging about breaking Chelsea's record. In fact, it is Chelsea fans that have been talking about it hoping Arsenal concede every match they play while we Arsenal fans are more concerned about amassing the maximum points possible in each match.

How I wish Sanchez had stayed at Arsenal just 1 or 2 years longer

He could've mentored Martinelli, who shares that same relentless energy and fighting spirit as Sanchez, but lacks the same level of technical flair, dribbling magic, and creative vision that made prime Alexis so devastating.

That 2016/17 version of Sanchez was truly unplayable, carrying the team with 24 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League alone.

Whenever he cut inside from the left onto his favoured right foot, he'd unleash those dangerous, whipped crosses into the box that terrorized defenses.
Martinelli is more of a speedster ( Walcott kinda player) and less of Alexis Sanchez.

I think the only way to make Martinelli better is to deploy him as a striker in some games in which we need to press our opponents in their half and need a striker who can run from our box doing defensive duty to the opponent's box running at them to cause mayhem.

Our next five games are games we failed to win last season (1D 4L). Interesting time ahead.
I think we need to make it a duty to score early and press our opponents more for second goal. That's the only way for us to get results out of those matches.

this comes across more like what we used to call discretionary bonus

everyone listed is already in ogas inner circle


CFO
National Director
Executive Director
Of course they are senior men, but it only means the middle managers and line managers who have served long too will get something sumptuous in relation to their pay grade.

If CFO dey collect 500 million as bonus, a manager that has served at least 10 years fit dey get 80 to 100 million na.

All these ones wey una Dey talk no concern me .

Yesternight some employees in this same Nigeria became billionaires by virtue of being employees of a company that values its staff and their loyalty over the years .

BUA Group owned by Rabiu Abdulsamad gifted a whopping sum of N30 billion to a number of staff in appreciation for their long service to the group .

On my WhatsApp timeline , a lady banker who was present at the event posted on her status a number of people who got bumper bonus for their long service (see attached screenshot).

Imagine people getting 1billiion , 500 million and 250 million from their employers . Omo ! 😲

And then there’s Dangote that is paying his staff peanuts and still prevents them from unionizing to fight for better staff welfare . 🤦‍♂️

The above looks like a narrative from OasiX WhatsApp group. I remember when OasiX told us that Amotekun alone will overrun Niger🇳🇪. Please before you guys want to use force on Burkina Faso, you should note the followings.

>Nigeria violated the airspace of Burkina Faso. Burkina have every right to detain the military aircraft and the soldiers. I remember when Turkey shot down a Russian military aircraft & killing the crew for the same airspace violation.

> Burkina Faso is not alone. They have alliance with Niger & Mali. Other military regime in Africa will offer support because if ECOWAS succeed in doing regime change in Sahel region. Their own government is under threat.

> Presence of Wagner. Just like Tinubu said that Benin Republic government invited them to intervene to restore order. Russian forces are stationed in Niger, Mali and Faso on the orders of their respective government.

> S-300 in Niger. Russian S-300 AIR defense systems are stationed in Niger🇳🇪. So they have the military capability to bring down our jets not just in their airspace but inside Nigerian territory.

> The North will not support such move. They share the biggest land border with Niger. Even cultural and Religious sentiments. So on the home front, you already have a divided population.

Thank you for your attention on this matter..
I’ve already said it that only diplomatic solution can bring those military men detained in Burkina Faso home .

All these grandstanding by our government officials and their fan boys on Twitter will not yield anything positive . Propaganda won’t suddenly make the Military government in Burkina Faso release our compatriots in their custody .

don't know if you noticed, at some point odegaard shifted to the left side but the attack and connection wasn't as good as when he links up with Saka. Wolves sat back and allowed us play our game but had total control of their own organisation. It was a frustrating game for us because we were actively pressing and attacking but the end product was limited. They got a good 5 minutes and made it count, our overall defensive unit isn't as it used to be. I think Gyokeres gets into good positions but he is either too fast to go in or the players with the ball don't trust themselves enough to release the ball. Both the players and Gyokeres should work on changing their games to bring out the beast in him.
Just like Henry said "the fear of winning is sometimes more than the fear of losing, especially when you haven't won anything yet". In as much as we can say this team is mentally up for the challenge, we can't write off that fear of bottling again. They panic and try to hold on to their results during the end of games, they try to be careful and defend, but Arteta should know that the approach isn't necessary if we can still kill the game by controlling the midfield and up pitch play than sitting deep to defend. Saka played like a world class player he is and made the difference. Big shout out to little chilli 🌶
I’m glad Saka always comes through for us when it matters most .

If he’s not scoring goals to bail us out , he’s playing deadly crosses into the opponent ‘s six yard box to cause mayhem .

Life's crazzzy mhen...

You can be married to a lady, not knowing you're the side husband.

She got married to a guy, and the Pastor told her to leave, and she left. Imagine the level of emotional damage she left that guy in.

Then you are now crying about being dumped? Naaah. Until you run mad, the karma never complete
Wait I want to get something here . That Pastor they call Dr Chris Okafor just wants to get married ? Like he’s not been married for years ? I no really understand .

I’ve been seeing that guy’s poster on buses as far back as 10 years ago or more sef , so I’m assuming he’s been a pastor for longer years .

Is it not strange that he’s just getting married considering his age and his profession as a pastor ?

I think apart from Rev Fathers who took a sacred vow not to get married , a normal pastor should be married on time to reduce the chances of them sleeping with multiple women under their pastoral influence .

How’s it that Merino get serviced when he starts as false 9 ?

How’s it that Jesus who just returned from injury got serviced in the two games he’s had cameo appearances this season ?

How’s it that Havertz before his injury was over serviced starting in that 9 position ?

Are we implying that the rest of the team don’t fancy Gyokeres well enough to service him ?

For all the criticism of Odegaard holding on to the ball too much , we much be truthful to ourselves that when Odegaard plays 10 there’s always a ray of hope that we may still find a way to break low block playing teams .

On the other hand , Eze playing 10 against a low block team just doesn’t inspire any confidence we may break them down . I think Eze is best suited for playing those long passes from our half to pick out a runner when teams lose possession when pressing us high . That was what played out in the City game and Bayern game.

Saka and Odegaard exchanging passes along the right wing seem to be the only thing has worked in breaking the resolve of low block teams thus far. Definitely Arteta and the coaching crew need to find more ways around breaking low block teams thus far, but for now that seem like the only thing working .

Eze is a very good player but he seems to struggle in that 10 role for now

Likely not true, but 👀👀
Though Nigeria's recent questionable romance with France may be alarming, I really dint believe in all these cock and bull stories of Nigeria running reconnaissance mission on behalf of the French with the detained Military aircraft.

If France really wants to spy on Burkina Faso's military installations and military bases, they don't need Nigerians for that at all.

There are thousands for Burkinabes that will do the job for the French for the right price. I don't want to believe the French intelligence agency like CIA will not those details already sef.

Nigeria should just work out a diplomatic solution to the imbrogilo and forget about propaganda of trying to portray ourselves as so called "giant of Africa" that wants their misdeeds to be forgiven simply because they are Nigeria.

saka 0 shots on target, Gyokeres 0 shots on target, Martinelli 0 shots on target, Eze 0 shots on target, Trossard 0 shots on target, Odegaard 0 shots on target

Overall, our attack was dissapointing

Our left wing is a wing of particular concern
No hope that either martinelli or trossard can beat their man and deliver decent cross to the box.

All our attack is concentrated on the right wing.

Eze was not really involved in the game at all
Odegaard holds on to the ball too much twisting and turning aimlessly and killing flow of the attack..

Gyokeres was not sharp enough to connect to Saka's cross in the first half but he lacks services overall

Saka is the only player that looks threatening in our attack trying to take on player and create something.

3 points is all that matters
I hope there is improvement in the next game
I do not really believe Gyokeres lacks service overall, I think his positioning when off the ball is usually questionable which makes it difficult for teammates to pass the ball to him for fear of him being easily dispossessed.

When the ball gets to his feet he also struggles to take the right decisions. Maybe he really needs to understudy his fellow attackers in the team like Merino, Jesus and Havertz to see how they move which makes it easier for wingers and Midfielders to seek them out with incisive passes.
