This refreee Na foooool!

This Martinelli mehn! He just dey gimme joy say the player wey I call Nobodinho that year is doing excellently well and can even do better

My God!

That Martinelli ball pain me die ..... wish he was able to bend it the way Auba dey do am

Saka makes it 1-0 !

COYG!

I just like Tomiyasu!

We just robbed of that penalty . Na wa o !

I really hope we will capitalize on that Nathan Ake side of the city defence and push our attack.

It will make sense if we score city first , especially if we do it in the first 20 minutes of the game; that’s the only way we can distabilize them and get something out of this game

Happy New year Gunners!

1. Best Arsenal player- Aaron Ramsdale, while players like Gabriel and Tomiyasu deserve some mention for how defensively solid we've been of recent, Ramsdale's heroic performances has really helped us this season. In fact, I've been unable to really point out one match he had a bad game. His form has also rubbed off on Leno who was erratic last season; now any match Leno plays he also tries to be at his best which is good thing for the club


2. Best Young player (youth players only)- Smith-Rowe has been phenomenal this season, its no news he's our best player this season.

3. Best goal-Odegaard's freekick goal vs Burnley; that goal too sweet!

4. Best fan on this thread- kbs468. Though he was away for some time but his constant updates, team news, etc has helped to bring back life to this thread. He's appreciated for this.

5. Best troll (non Arsenal fans) on this thread- Lana1

For the best young player, what is the criteria we are looking at? Is it just their age or when they broke into the team ?Cos a player like Saka is just 20 and qualifies to be called "young", but having played 2 straight years of top level football one might be tempted to overlook him for this category.

Partey will be going to AFCON in January, Mustafi will joining Egypt for the tourney as well leaving us with less options in the middle of the park.

Personally I feel we should be getting a CM/DM wether on temporary basis or full signing . This should be our priority even before talking of getting a striker , if not most of the good fortune that has smiled on us of recent will mean nothing . Our case is better than Loserpool who would be losing their key men and finding other players to step into their shoes will be a big ask.

armyofone:
I red bell pepper- chopped

Boil your spaghetti al dente

Since you have ororo, fry all the above ingredients in the oil. Add spaghetti, mix and ready to serve.

If you like Parmesan, sprinkle some and enjoy.

Thank you for the suggestion although I was looking for something a bit different from the regular stir fry/jollof one is mostly used to.

I mean something different like the spaghetti recipe Prestonn run us that year which had white wine and prawn as key ingredients that gave it a unique taste.

I agree but Sapa get levels and some people limit differ

I remember when I finished NYSC and was job hunting. One day I got with a friend and we took a bus from Egbeda to VI, dropped at Bonny camp and we started trekking to all the offices in VI dropping CVs at every office.
In 5hrs we were both exhausted and about to fall down. Almost half of the offices we visited in our presence dropped our CVs in the waste paper basket or trash can, Another set we couldn't even get past the security guards. One security guard at Prudent Bank actually called us and told us that the CV wont get beyond him. I remember going to an office and they actually gathered all the unsolicited CVs and burnt them in our presence including the ones we just submitted

2 days later I went back to my friend Zizous house and asked him when are we going back, The guy wan swear for me say I should never come to his house again to take him on such useless trips. That he would rather start yahooyahoo. That boys who barely fnished Secondary school are cashing out with faulty-grammar filled formats, while him a grad of a first Gen uni dey suffer like this

I left him and started applying to JAMB and WAEC lesson to teach. I will earn N100 per hour while transport to and fro Egbeda to Idimu was N30. I will take bus to the lesson and trek back
From the small money I made at the teaching place, I bought GRE textbook at Oshodi bend down. registered for GRE
I got a good job like 2months later that was paying me 150K per month way back in 2005. My friend travelled to UK around the same time

So I have known people at the end of the rope. Same experience I was ready to endure, my friend didnt

I can relate with ur experience . I remember having to dedicate a day to tour the whole Lagos island axis from obalende down to CMS, marina and towards Idumota along with my best friend dropping CV’s at head offices of notable organizations . We also had a day set aside for VI axis as well. We were fortunate it was a period when u could drop CV’s through HR emails too; so we did both physical and online CV dropping .

I had also given myself ultimatum of 3 months that if job searching wasn’t yielding any fruits I would resort to teaching at tutorials per hour and secondary schools on part time basis . Luckily for me and my guy , we both got placement less than 2 months after NYSC .

During this period it’s not like yahoo didn’t cross my mind , in fact for a little less than 4 years I slept in the same room with a friend who joined yahoo in our 3rd year in school.... but I just wasn’t going to steal other people’s money to make mine calling it business . I wasn’t ! It was not about home training or anything . I’ve been drinking before gaining admission to the university so it’s not about being sanctimonious.

Recently I chilled out with my guy and the rest of the clique at the beach , we reminisced about those tough times and we are just grateful for how we’ve grown

popizaino:
Now that Lukaku has scored how do we describe your picture/post?

Ment ?

My post had nothing to do With Lukaku . But wait , why do u always feel triggered assuming any post I make on footballing matters is an attempt to malign Chelsea or its players ? Why ?

For ur information my post was for ur resident king who claims to be A Cobahm recognized fan always dishing out his line-ups from time to time . It’s actually ment seeing him trying to defend his prediction even when he’s wrong

Akposy:
Have you tried making spaghetti with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil and honey/brown sugar?

Most of the things u mentioned here sound sweet and I really do not enjoy sweet things like that; they just don’t go well in my mouth

Akposy:
What do you have in your pantry

So I have a spaghetti pack, enough ororo , better and I live pretty close to a market where I can get practically almost every cooking ingredient/item/condiments in minutes .

Ment

Abeg make person drop better spaghetti recipe make I cook for new year Na.

NB: I’m presently not interested in eating anything with sausage in it, anything that has fresh prawn inside other than seafood okro, and anything with sardine .

Cc: Akposy, Mariangeles, cococandy, prestonn, prettyprincess, etc run this for ur boy Na .

@patrickmuf let me tell u one story shared with me by a friend we used to drive together to work. He used to work in a bank where he was in the forefront of recovering fraud money, recovering bad debts etc .

So an elderly woman whose children are doing quite well for themselves decided to put up a trust account for her that holds sizeable millions of naira. The purpose of opening the account is for them to deposit cash for mama’s upkeep in the course of the year and also celebrate her birthday when it falls due without having to resort to emergency contributions.

Unknowingly some yahoo guys got access to the email address that sends mandate for withdrawal on the account anytime there’s need to make withdrawal. The email address has the name “ IDOWU” as part of it. Just like how nairaland guys clone email addresses , they cloned the email by using “IDOVVU “ By replacing “W” with “V V “ put close together .

The banking officer who was eager to leave for home on a Friday evening by past 4 just sent for approval without checking thoroughly . That was how 1 million naira left the account. In the course of the week another mandate was sent from the fraudulent account , but luckily a complaint mail came from the real account complaining unauthorized debit. The matter escalated , the staff of the bank involved in the authorization processs had to replace the cash to save their jobs.

This my elderly friend and his team has to step in to at least get the culprits and recover the stolen funds. Their partnership with the Nigerian policemen led to tracing the destination of the cash to one young undergraduate in one of the eastern state universities. He was arrested , transferred to Lagos and his father had to come down to Lagos to negotiate for his release. They guy confessed how some senior men used his bank account to run the money laundering aspect of the fraud while he got small cash to chop life out of it.

Eventually his father returned the money and paid police serious money to bail him. Now if these bank staff weren’t lucky to have had the money recovered by the police and my elderly friend , don’t u think someone on the other side of the system would’ve called them greedy / foolish ?

patrickmuf:
Yahoo is wrong but from stuffs I have read, most of the people that get scammed are either greedy or themselves go into a deal thinking they're scamming the yahoo guys.

How will someone send you pictures of a massive plot of land undergoing development and ask you to buy it for the equivalent of say 20m and you oblige the person? It's either your greed gets the better of you or your think yourself the smarter person (scammer) because I honestly won't even reply any suspicious mail message so, I don't create an avenue to be scammed.

You obviously have the faintest idea of what modern yahoo has turned out to be. You think hushpuppi was busy showing rich white folks land for development and they were eager to buy ? You think hushpuppi just showed that premier league club one massive stadium and they parted with the pounds sterling without any title document ?

Yahhoo of 2003/2004 when people were collecting tennis ball , cargo via fedex etc is not the same thing as yahoo these young ones practice now . So many manipulations, social engineering , phishing etc being used to dispossesss people of their hard earned money now . In fact U don’t need to be greedy to get scammed nowadays, sometimes being unfortunate/ ignorant alone to click advert links, pop-ups , etc can rob u of decent money online.


Somehow I don’t agree with this ur “victim-blaming” angle of viewing this. It’s like blaming Ataga for his own death as if he deserve to be killed for committing adultery that is a moral wrong but neither a civil wrong nor criminal wrong. Blaming victims of yahoo is like saying Chidinma was not wrong to have taught the man a lesson of his life for engaging in infidelity .

Ofada rice and goat meat sauce

For some Nigerians It’s not a big deal to not see anything wrong in crime being perpetuated against people they don’t share close relationship with.......until it hits close to home, only then will they feel what those victims felt.

A case study is one of the guys that was high on excitement on twitter during the Covid-19 palliatives warehouse looting that happened last year . The guy was practically defending the act even when more learned people tried to make him see reason that such behaviors shouldn’t be encouraged nor defended .

Well his mum’s shop was not spared by the same set of people he spent hours online defending

So my phone reminded me of my all time favorite Singapore noodles today

If this ever is an option, I will say we take Courinho instead of Dembele and have Aubameyang move the other way.

I don’t know much about Coutinho’s wages but I hope we don’t pay him as much as we pay Auba.

This humor appeals to me
