This match is slipping away from our hands. Martinelli and Madueke really need to be serious in this game.
They need to score one more goal to slow Brentford down abeg.

if he files suit in yankee it will be much harder Yeah, the ex-wife obviously has a larger financial war chest to prosecute a legal battle. Maybe if the guy had made much noise about the whole incidents back then when she was still in naija, she and her family would not have succeeded. You see the way Davido's attempt to japa with Imade failed, perhaps Dotun may have achieved same back then. That would've saved him all this head and heart ache. |

Theflint1: Nigerians are naturally lawless sha, imagine disregarding a judgement that gave the father rights to see his kids and in the process stripping those girls of fatherly upbringing.
Women can be really crazy when hurt, and it's crazy that all the men she had in her lives, not even one could call her to order.
If Dotun is so inclined, he could actually pursue criminal charges against his ex-wife. He may pursue criminal case against her, but she's far away in America and may start claiming she's not feeling well and won't be available to appear in court the moment Dotun initiates a case against her. |

DissTroy: "Akwa Ibom Ranked the Cleanest State in Nigeria, Topping the List For the Eight Consecutive Year".
https://punchng.com/akwa-ibom-ranked-cleanest-state-in-nigeria-for-2025-report
Yes, but it is relative to other states. Funny how under Akpabio it was, you'd be surprised, twice as clean as it is today.
Under Akpabio, it was almost a crime to allow dirt or weed in drainages, or uncovered drainages in the major cities.
And two minutes after rainfall in the capital city, all drainage and rain water automatically siphoned into the underground drainage system.
Still the best governor (project execution-wise of his era) and the best the people of his state have had so far.
Sad also, that Cross River under Donald Duke use to hold this record. Now Calabar is, you know.
Akpabio the Senate President with all of his flaws and gaffes still gets a pass from his people because we haven't forget Akpabio the Governor. It's why he still gets defended or his people turning a blind eye to his flaws on the national stage. I think Rivers state used to be very clean too, what later happened to the state is what I don't know. In 1998 when we traveled to PH for my uncle's wedding, everyone one of us that traveled down from Lagos were shocked at how clean PH city was. The roads were just too unbelievably clean. Fast forward to present day, PH is not anywhere near what it used to be in terms of cleanliness. |

OkpaNsukkaisBae: Didn't see your post before pressing submit button. From his campaign slogan@ emi lo kan to the subsidy protest during GEJ. It is all about his political ambition. Nothing else matters.
Wen he dey shout "where are the cows", IT means that politics come first for him instead of national security. You wonder how the only farmer who successfully neutralized a murderous herdsman in self defense got life sentence from the apex court under his administration. When the Agbado FC where shouting echoing the saying @ "the North Remembers".. significant political concession where made to the islamic Sharia North. Theflint1: Yea, there was a Nigeria before Sharia Law, all we're asking for is that we be taken back to that Nigeria.
Sharia law is a personal matter, and not a law that should be binding on those who don't want it binding on them, and it certainly shouldn't run contrary to the constitution. I doubt Tinubu can ever make that move. For starters Tinubu is known to always put his political interests above any other thing and from the look of things declaring Sharia law unconstitutional will do his political career more harm than good. Even if he wants to make the move, I doubt he will get the full cooperation of the legislative arm of government. There are some fundamentalists in the house of assembly who will make any constitutional amendment along that line impossible. It may lead to serious rancor between Tinubu's boys in the house and the northern boys who will most likely not support such moves. Whether Nigeria can live with America's sanctions(should America make disbanding Hisbah and cancelling Sharia as conditions for America's continued benevolence) should Tinubu refuse to budge is what I don't know. |

US Congress Urged To Pressure Nigerian Govt To Declare Sharia Law Unconstitutional, Disband Hisbah Commissions
At a joint briefing of the United States Congress, witnesses and lawmakers rejected arguments that killings in Nigeria stem from resource disputes.
United States lawmakers were urged on Tuesday to pressure the Nigerian government to abolish Sharia law in northern states where they has been adopted and disband the religious-enforcement Hisbah commissions, with experts warning that these laws and groups are fueling systematic anti-Christian persecution.
During a joint House briefing in response to US President Donald Trump’s October directive and designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Dr. Ebenezer Obadare testified that the primary drivers of violence – Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and radicalised Fulani militants – exploit Sharia frameworks and Hisbah officials to impose extremist ideology, enforce forced conversions, and operate with near-total impunity.
Obadare laid out a strategy for dealing with the violence and killings.
A statement by the House Appropriations Committee quoted him as saying, “The policy goal should be two-fold: first, work with the Nigerian military to neutralise Boko Haram.
“Second, the United States should put pressure on President Tinubu to (1) make Sharia law unconstitutional in the twelve northern states where they has been adopted since 2000 and (2) disband the various Hisbah groups across northern states seeking to enforce and impose Islamic law on all citizens regardless of their religious identity.”
In laying out his strategy, Obadare acknowledged efforts by the Federal Government in response to pressure from the United States.
“As recent events have shown, the Nigerian authorities are not impervious to incentives, ”he said.
“Since the country’s Country of Particular Concern (CPC) designation and President Trump’s threat of unilateral military action against Boko Haram, President Tinubu has made several moves, including ordering air strikes against Boko Haram targets, the recruitment of an additional 30,000 policemen, and, most recently, declaring a national security emergency in the country.”
He, however, expects a lot more to be done, saying, “Washington must keep up the pressure.”
The bipartisan session, led by Appropriations Vice Chair Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) and involving the House Foreign Affairs Committee, heard repeated accusations that the Nigerian government is complicit in what lawmakers called “religious cleansing” across the north and Middle Belt.
Witnesses cited the November 22 abduction of children and teachers from St Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State, what they described as ongoing blasphemy-law imprisonments, and mass killings, rejecting claims that the violence stems solely from resource disputes.
Obadare emphasised the roots of the crisis, saying, “The deadliest and most serious threat confronting the Nigerian state today is jihadist terror, perpetrated by the Islamist group Boko Haram.
“Boko Haram translates to ‘Western education is forbidden.’ Boko Haram’s barbarous and implacable campaign to overthrow the Nigerian state and establish an Islamic caliphate in its stead is the source of Nigeria’s present discontents.
“Every proposal to solve the Nigerian crisis that does not take seriously the need to radically degrade and ultimately eliminate Boko Haram as a fighting force is a non-starter.”
‘Forcing Accountability’
Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) labelled Nigeria “ground zero” for global anti-Christian persecution, while Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) demanded the disarmament of militias and prosecution of attackers.
U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Chair Vicky Hartzler and Alliance Defending Freedom International’s Sean Nelson detailed recent atrocities and called for Washington to use security-aid leverage, early-warning systems, and targeted sanctions to force accountability.
Lawmakers from both parties signalled support for Díaz-Balart’s FY26 appropriations language addressing the crisis.
They announced that the Appropriations Committee is drafting a formal report to President Trump with concrete recommendations, including potential conditions on U.S. assistance to Nigeria.
The briefing underscored the Trump administration’s recent redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. It reflected growing congressional consensus that reversing Sharia criminal law in the north and dismantling hisbah forces are essential steps to halt one of the world’s deadliest campaigns against religious minorities.
Trump first designated Nigeria as a CPC in 2020, but it was removed from the list by his successor, President Joe Biden.
However, the US president, on October 31, redesignated Nigeria as a CPC over religious freedom violations.
He thereafter threatened military action in Nigeria if the Federal Government did not address the challenge. Trump said the US may halt aid and assistance to Nigeria if nothing is done to stop the alleged Christian persecution. https://www.channelstv.com/2025/12/02/at-us-congress-briefing-obadare-calls-for-sharia-law-to-be-declared-unconstitutional/ |

He's someone who is supposed to not be regarded at all when it comes to politics but you gave him the impetus he has today to sneer at us. I really don't know what u want from me honestly. So I should use cane to police the opinion of a full grown adult like myself on the internet or what?

I expected by now u should've realized that a man is responsible for his own opinions, actions and inactions. Please if u have issues with his posts kindly take it up with him personally, you don't need me to form groupie with you before u can express ur opinion about his posts. Thank You . |

iamoyindamola: He was, he took rice that could have helped him to the back to sort out the 2 cbs on yellow. I dont have issues with that but zubi shouldn't have come in for the second half by adding a ball carrier since rice have been deployed deep. The truth is he wasn't expecting such physical performance from them same with Sunderland, I hope now that odegaard is back those teams coming at us can collect wotowoto 1. Taking Rice to the back was the most reasonable decision any coach would've taken in that situation. Your two CBs are on yellow and ur DM was already on Yellow card as early as the 5th minute of the game. Rice was the only one that had the skillset and wasn't booked that could step up to ease the defensive burden off the team. If Arteta had not done that, we would've lost the match and the fans would've blamed him for not taking the obvious decision to salvage things. 2. Zubi came off in the 57th Minute of the game which is just 12 minutes to the start of the second half. Let us not forget that Odegaard(ball carrier) who replaced him was just returning from an injury and may not be fully fit to play full 45 minutes running around doing both offensive and defensive duties. So Zubi playing 12 minutes out of the second half with his early yellow card may not really be out of place. I think you misjudge effective game management for cowardice and lack of plan. We played that match with the odds against us the moment both Saliba and Gabriel were unavailable. There was nothing really physical about Chelsea's game other than unnecessary fouls which the ref rightly penalized them for . We had more ball possession and would've won if our attackers were more clinical. Let's hope Odegaard coming back will help our attack play considering how Eze hasn't been really effective in that number 10 role with the way he hides behind players when Rice or Zubi has the ball expecting the ball will seek him out. |

ChristineC: on the other hand, he produced that gun because he was 99.999% sure the other driver/occupants of his vehicle had no equalizer on them. he'd produce the heat only if he had intentions to use it.
the other driver wouldn't even flinch if he had any training himself.
the man waving the gun is poorly trained or has zero training on handling - from waving it around carelessly to his stance and proximity, that gun is practically useless on him in this confrontation. I disagree with the bolded 100%. America where both parties have access to guns, we've seen instances of fatal shootouts between such parties. Imagine the same situation in a very angry country like Nigeria; even innocent third parties may become victim of the madness. Nigeria already has enough frustrated and angry people moving around with their frustrations looking for any chance to let it out ; guns in the hand of those people could lead to serious rise in mortality figures. |

iamoyindamola: The 2 aways games we drew this season if you notice our manager he was scared in the 2 games, that's because he wasn't expecting such intensity of game, either he underestimated his opponent or he has no answers to the opposition tactics Compare it with the Newcastle game you have your answer I don't think he's scared in any of the two games. The Chelsea game in particular, he did everything right considering the injury crisis we are experiencing at the moment; let's not forget we went into the match without either of our regular CBs. He didn't have his in-form LW and had to make do with Martinelli instead. When we needed goals he brought in attacking players as expected. I don't think there's anything he ought to have done that he didn't do in that match. Perhaps if either of Gabriel or Saliba was in that Chelsea match we could've scrapped out a late win through corners or any other set piece like we did Vs Newcastle. In fact, Gabriel was the difference in that Newcastle match. I think with Jesus and Havertz back in the team and Arteta saying Saliba's injury is just a matter of days, we should be getting the needed boost to go on a winning streak in the coming matches. |
