Nketiah injured just when Brighton are considering him
I'm just tired of these guys and their useless injuries or excuses to stay in arsenal

You can't blame a player for getting injured na....anybody can get injured.

Tammy Abraham agrees to join Roma.../ Now that's some sigh of relief. I had far the club would've gone for him at the die minutes claiming no other epl proven striker was available.

This madness I just keep reading about Arsenal.being interested in Tammy Abraham

While some people are complaining about Auba not doing anything other than scoring tap-ins, the club then decides the best and right thing to do is bring in a certain Tamuno

E just be like say Arteta and the board no get good plans for us this season at all

daveP:
Spurs Fans did great with this!!


Guen enjoying Life at Mars

I hope going into the season the fans will allow Saka concentrate on playing football and do away with the banners and posters with his name on it talking about racism. I feel it might be distracting for him to have his name on posters every matchday.

A001:
When you hear some silly remarks some religious people make, you have to call a spade a spade.

That's the right thing to do.

I'm not aware of any freethinker doing so publicly (offline) anyway, apart from eminent people like Wole Soyinka.

Or can you cite an instance where an atheist walked into a gathering of Christians (church), or of Muslims (mosque), and started calling them fools?

I've seen it play out countless times on nairaland. I've been on nairaland since 2009 and I've seen countless threads solely dedicated for that purpose.

On the outside world it's a different matter entirely. Like u said we live in a third world country and u knkw doing such will definitely put u in harms way like we all agreed most people on opium will never be at peace wit u when u try to take their opium away . This does not necessarily mean pockets of such incidents has not been recorded in the past where overzealous irreligious people have incurred the wrath of ghf religious folk.

A001:
All you said only mainly applies to the developed countries. In Nigeria, there's no freedom of religion.

Whether you're a Christian or a Muslim in Nigeria, once you declare it publicly that you're a freethinker, atheist, or agnostic, your safety is at risk.

Family, friends will depart from you, and you will lose your job, be victimized in school, business, etc.

And if you dare criticize religion publicly, be ready to be lynched, killed or poisoned under the pretext that you're a witch or wizard or you're possessed.

That applies to all parts of Nigeria.

I have had a first-hand experience of some of these things.

In Nigeria and many similar Third-World countries, nothing much has changed when you consider the dark history of Christianity.

Nigeria and Africa are still in a dark age.

While I tend to see Ur point concerning religious people in third world countries particularly Nigeria being receptive to non-religious people and their views, I can't but point out some of the not-so-cool stuff atheists, free thinkers, etc do in this part of the world that put them in harm's way.

One of such things is non-relgiois/freethinkers making it as a point of duty to always question the intelligence of religious folk, calling them fools and not allowing them to believe in whatever they wish to. You know most non-religious people are quick to quote Karl Marx saunh religion is the opium of the people, but they take this literally without examine what even examine why opium? opium is a drug that dulls the senses and helps one forget the miseries of the present

Religion like opium takes some people's pains and suffering away. It's hard living in third world countries like Nigeria, when u see Lord's chosen people selling in major markets wearing their church apron on top their cloth, they are just trying to escape their present miseries.When u see a winners chapel person shouting dominion even though he works as a gateman in a private school, he's only trying to escape his miseries.

Now imagine an atheist wakes and starts calling these people fools, illogical, etc....Don't u think u are insulting their sensibilities; they will definitely feel attacked! They will surely react to u in a negative manner, in fact they will wish something terrible happens to them.

I don't support religious extremism and will never be one to encourage it, but like u said the third world countries are still very much far behind.....people like Reno should stop saying things like what he said in that article in order not to make matters worse

A001:
Interesting thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6691250/reno-omokri-what-boko-haram

While most of what Reno said might be true, I really don't think it's needed at this time.

I mean saying what Roman Catholics did some 100's of years ago is worse than what Boko Haram is doing In Nigeria today is somehow......It's like justifying the barbaric killing of people in this present civilized world where such things are illegal and punishable under criminal law.

During those Era he was referring to, the church and the government was almost one and same; they dictate what is right and what is not in the areas they rule over. We are in the 21st century today, there are laws protecting people's rights, freedom of association, freedom of religion and so many human rights. What Boko Haram is doing today is called terrorism; we are in a civilized world Today and not in the stone age.

Reno saying Southern Christians are the one calling Boko Haram terrorists is not a very bright thing to say. Sometimes I don't know if those guys just like being in the spotlight and they just say some things even when it's not necessary.

This is me not speaking for the church but me not seeing sense in trying to compare things done in an age where there are no proper laws guiding the affairs of men and barbaric things done in a civilized society governed by laws

Skimpledawg:
Shey you no believe in Juju na

Baba carry Ur money go give Akin alabi ó, play EPL champion - Chelsea.

I'm not doing abeg

Skimpledawg:
I for like do this o.

Make we rather do Chelsea tops Arsenal at the end of the season.

Game?

Game kor, Playstation ni

So I go bet say person wey win champions league last season and about to sign the most expensive striker in the world will finish below person wey carry 8 for league last season?

No be juju be that?

omotola90:
lukaku will be the highest goal scorer in epl... Trust me

Are u ready to put Ur money where Ur mouth is on this?

I name this " Clear your shayo noodles". With the amount of pepper, ginger, garlic, onions and ẹja kika in this noodles it's capable of clearing your shayo any day any time ( I'm talking from experience )

Jodera:
Lol.. Malcolm say Otherwise

Dstv Don carry signal, I no dey see anything again

4cking DSTV

Whether change small dem carry signal......

Jodera:
Lol.. Yeah.
He's not even running much unlike him b4. It's Arana of the opposite flank that's doing the runs.

The only run Alves ran into Spain box resulted in the goal which Spain scored

Yeah, and his touches have been clumsy.

I think this match will end in penalty shoot-out. Brazil had their chances but they didn't take them; Spain has not being a threat to them.

Jodera:
Sweet goal and wonderful technique from Oyazarbal. Spain have equalized.

Richarlison might be peeing in his pants by now

Dani Alves Don old, na just experience baba dey use.....He's not been really playing well in this match.

Ibime:
It's not always by flexing that rich people or famous stars go broke. Many go broke by investing actually.

Well, that’s true sha especially those who go about the whole investment route themselves without involving investment analysts do the whole ground work for them.

Jodera:
Hmmm... I know some of our players might not get into Leicester squad, but no way in hell will Riedeweld bench Elneny in that DM position or kyle walker Peters bench Bellerin. Thinking about it, I think it's the high wage that's one of the mitigating factors

U go read some things and e go just bitter for ur ear.

Somebody is saying he will prefer Auba to to Vardy forgetting that Auba met Vardy in the league and yet Auba clinched Epl golden boot before him. In fact Auba was going to clinch the second one the next season before Vardy edged him with just a goal.

I hate it when people try to throw the baby away with the bath water . Auba may not be at his best now but it doesn’t mean the good he’s done in the past doesn’t matter .

BlueAngel444:
he doesn't want to end up broke and in debt like some ex stars

Messi think of not going broke ? How ?

Person wey dey earn like x5 of champions league winner prize money in just one footballing year ...... eeez like u don’t know how long that guy’s money is .

Messi does just not know how to flex/flaunt what he’s got in the bag, I don’t it has anything to do with ever going broke.

Breakie : Fried yam strips + tomatoe and fish sauce

afrodoc2:
It’s quite yanilenu how nobody is mentioning Hazard.

Abi e no shock you?

I believe say Na because Popiziano never wake, as soon as he’s awake he will tell us how the overweight Belgian is going to light up Elclassico this year

Griffon:
La Liga is gradually going down the lane of Eredivisie. How the mighty has fallen!

This year's El Classico na Vinicius vs Dembele

Ansu Fati vs Valverde

Ibime:
If I be Messi, I'm taking this. Clear €1bln and stroll to retirement

I don’t even think Messi knows what to do with the money he’s made so far. The guy seem to be an introvert , not flamboyant and less bothered about serious money. E just be like say Na his friends like Neymar, Suarez and co dey even teach am how to spend money.

Apart from buying few houses I’ve not really read much about him making luxurious purchases like ororo does with those sport cars , rolls and the likes

Jodera:
Lol.. Go beg Toure agent make him link you to that shamman abeg, so that we go drive all these liabilities

But on a more serious note, it shows how low we've sunk. At least, even if top clubs no go buy, but clubs like Watford, Brighton, Leeds and so forth suppose dey look all these players na.
Abi na so we don die reach?

Shebi Newcastle wan buy Willock now and spy360 say make we no sell ..... He say make we sell players wey people no dey interested in

iamoyindamola:
Martinez also plays from back, my point is leno over do it especially when his teammates are close down he will still pass

At arsenal Martinez played few games and I remember vs Man city he was “budeying” the ball with no time for play from the back .

He played a full season at Villa last season and Villa wasn’t known for their play from back all season.

No doubt Martinez is having a time of his life presently , but nothing suggests he was the better keeper while at Arsenal . So blaming the club for selling one of their two good keepers when it’s obvious they can’t keep both , I don’t agree with it

kodded:
A good caoch should play to the player strengths and not their weakness, it was so obvious that passing out from the back was one of Leno weakness

Whether Arteta is a good coach or not is another discussion entirely .

My point is u can’t say Leno is a poor keeper because he’s following his coach’s instruction to be passing to unreliable players like Mustafi, Kolasinac, Holding , Luiz and co

iamoyindamola:
So if the manager tell leno to put his hands inside fire he will, that one thing martinez will never do
Put his team under pressure, leno can't smell danger at all he will rather foolishly pass t his teammates when they are on pressure instead of playing it long.
That alone make me lose faith in him, we conceded stupid goals cos of this silly error

You don’t understand that in football u have to play to coach’s instruction. From day one Arteta has shown he’s a coach that likes to build up play from the back even when he doesn’t have the right set of players to prosecute this .

Leno is under the instruction to play from the back , if he decides to act otherwise he will get an earful from the coach after the game.

I once played amateur football and I understand coaches dislike players who don’t play to instruction. I’ve seen good players relegated to the bench due to this.

Havertz10:
where is pep's statement or isn't grealish good enough to have a statement prepared pre presentation, what about post presentation? 100m is a lot of money, they knew that this will happen a least 2 weeks ago, why didn't he prepare a statement?

You know how organizations are run, you should know better than anyone that everything about this deal looks weird, like some money laundering shittt

It’s not money laundering , Guardiola wanted Grealish so his release clause was triggered .
