Heard Bayern might be interested in signing Osimhen in the summer. What's your personal assessment of the move will he be a hit with you guys?

raumdeuter:
How much VAT fit dey on Oshimen age? When you don see Nigerian footballers especially those who went for age grade competition many of them dey always claim close to year end DOB, you know say Dagbo don enter

Cos per FIFA rule they will say only those born before December 31 2003 fit play Under 20,
Osimehn conveniently out of 365 days was born on December 29. 2 days to year end

Apparently they don't my brother because lush European pitches confers injury odeshi on them.

Odunayaw:
So Europeans don't get injured repping their country?

At the moment Bayern Munich have a Lewandoski-sized hole which they haven't properly replaced so as the only proper number 9 Osimhen will most likely have many opportunities to start. Mane, Sane and Gnabry are wide forwards who will not be Victor's direct competition.

Now as to if he will be able to cope not being the 'starboy' as you put it Victor worked hard to become the main man at Napoli. Nothing was handed to him he made every effort to repay the trust of the Napoli owner and coach. I'm optimistic that this will be the same if Bayern decides to buy him. I'm not in Tuchel's mind but I know he's a smart coach who will know how to utilize Osimhen's best qualities.

Personally I find the potential move intriguing because Victor has unfinished business in Germany.

komekn:
How will V.O. cope in a team where he will not be the focus of attention and the proverbial "Star Boy". He will not be guaranteed a starting position and he will be contending with players who are just as fast if not faster and who are more technically astute as well as versatile.❓Sane and Mane come to mind as well as Gnabry, to mention a few.


My view is V.O. needs a team where he will be the star boy and where he can use his exceptional skill set as the focal point of the team.

I'm not sure how is temperament will cope with not being the MAN .

All the unnecessary shalaye just to simply say Chukwueze isn't worth the valuation.

So what shld we do with this kind of information 😏

Long but interesting read

Keep the faith bro you can do this .

How many Kenyans are in Nairaland or you think Ruto has ambition to one day lead your hopeless Zoo! Old Tinubu will likely finish what Buhari started - which is to bankrupt Nigeria like Ghana.

Rafiki I know Ruto has funded your propaganda office since last month hence the outburst and frustration. Hang in there bro you'll pull through

rvp20182:
Is there a difference btw the big and small Zoo. Same obtuseness. Same intransigence. Same banality.

Hmmm

I'm not Ghanaian rafiki insecure much?

Mkenya2019:
What reform has you execute the last 12yrs to fix Ghana systemic and structural problems. ZERO. You have defaulted. Force local creditors to take huge losses. Where is the pain there?

IMF is bringing PAIN.

I like this if true.

Bayern Munich reportedly heavily interested in Osimhen.

Sky Info: "Osimhen will und würde sofort zum FC Bayern wechseln!" 🔥🚨 @Plettigoal

The bold is really scary. Only option is to borrow for capital projects which will further jack up their already elevated debt to GDP ratio.

In all honesty every major African economy is going through it right now except maybe Morocco.

If Tinubu can resolve the subsidy removal and its fallout that should buy Nigeria some time in the short term.

It looks like Ghana is slowly but painfully coming out of its economic turmoil.

Na just normal normal chief

Hallelujah bro!

Vas Basten! I loved that man (no homo) as a kid. Precursor to Van Persie and Zlatan o ti technical ju!

AndSunGorilla:
Marco Van Basteen nko? Ronaldo was a terror!!!!

Ronaldo de Lima at full power and injury free is the most fearsome striker any defender will be unlucky to face. Imagine combining Messi and CR7 attributes together that's what you will get with Ronaldo.

Blueelf:
Its a lie

Samuel eto'o, Zlatan, Henry et al

Just say he's your favorite nine but many wll argue that he's not the best 9 ever

Chukwueze is scoring double against Madrid now if it's Sao Tome and Principe he will be looking like a poor man's Ifeanyi Ekweume. All the same kudos to him.

If you had asked me this question in 1999 I would have agreed wholeheartedly with you but having seen how things have progressed not just in Nigeria but other parts of Africa I'm not sure 100%.

In terms of curbing impunity and corruption democracies all over Africa haven't done too well although I will have to admit democracy has helped improve infrastructure in most countries on the continent Nigeria included.

Military rule really did a number on us. From General Buhari, IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami no major investment in infrastructure like power plants, refineries, hospitals, dams, etc. Even though Abacha built some roads especially in Northern Nigeria it wasn't widespread to have a big impact on people's lives.

Yeah it's a special research paper looking at how Philippines uses a kind of special bilateral agreement to profit off of their nurses japaing

A001:
Lols, this one na research paper o (thesis or dissertation). I clicked on the link without checking the whole link and knowing it's a PDF.

I go read am later. It's very lengthy.

Nigeria is poor but the lifestyle of politicians begs to disagree.

Like aprokodoctor suggested on twitter if legislators want medical doctors to 'sacrifice' by staying back five years then politicians executive and legislature included should be forced to 'enjoy' this sacrifice as well shikena.

P.S. For the record Lagos is one of the few states doing well as regards not owing pensioners.

TrebleChamp:
But Nigeria is poor, it cannot pay Doctors good salary, it cannot build new standard hospital or fully remodel and equip existing one. Nigeria is broke so some State Governors cannot pay ₦30k minimum wage, many State including Lagos are owing backlog of Pension and Gratuity. Nigeria is broke so Govt must remove subsidy without putting in place palliative measures like fixing Electricity. Nigeria is broke only to the masses but not the Politicians..

Without prejudice to the insightful contributions by Izzou and Unlimited being a medical doctor is an entirely special job that requires some element of self sacrifice same as law enforcement or the army. So going into these kinds of jobs expecting perfect conditions of service especially in a third world country like Nigeria will be hard. That said the least that medical doctors deserve is to receive decent pay and more than basic medical tools to work with.

I came across this article about the Filipino approach to how they handled their own medical worker japa syndrome. Can it work here in Nigeria?

As a man of the literary arts myself I have great admiration for Soyinka but I always found his works rather tiresome to enjoy. I flow more with Achebe's works easier to digest and follow.

Unlimited22:
Lol
Read Beware Soul Brother and Christmas in Biafra, then come and repeat what you said about Achebe and Poetry.


Achebe is our greatest novelist. Soyinka is our greatest playwright.

For Poetry, neither of them come tops. No be their playground

Read people like J. P. Clark, the Okigbo brothers, Otswald Mtshali and Okot p'Bitek and you go see who poetry dey their blood.

I've been impressed by Akwa Ibom since the days of Akpabio. Your State has made progress on so many fronts. Hope governor 'happy hour' can build on the successes of his predecessors.

All the governors really have to rollup their sleeves and work to resolve the country's many problems especially in their respective states.

Lagos that is relatively better than most states was still ranked as one of the worst cities to live in globally, Rivers despite its numerous flyovers couldn't even attract $1 foreign investment last year, Despite El-Rufai's best efforts Kaduna still lags behind on many development indices.

For Nigeria to make significant progress at least 2/3 of all governors will need to pull their weight.

DissTroy:
I posted yesterday top 10 states with FDI. Highlighted Akwa Ibom then went on to expatiate on our strong points. I didn't even mention other states asides the ones on the FDI index. Well, not today or in the last 2 days.

Guess who got triggered to go off about Akwa Ibom?

Brag about your states. Counter me. Let's all brag about our states of origin instead of focusing on the FGN and Lagos. But, no, you'd attack Lagos while your places go to shit. I don't care about how Lagos is typically governed because mine is of more priority on a personal level.

If you attack first, you don't get to make the rules of engagement.

Again, last I checked, Akwa Ibom tops on so many developmental indices. Infrastructure, EoDI, FDI, security, peace, and more. They can't match these.
We protect investors and investments, while they from other places kidnap them. I have given several examples. Who wants to live in unsafe, partly dirty, and insecure places?

Yes, I'd keep going on about it. I'd proudly point out what little contributions individuals like myself and others at higher levels are doing to make the state better.
If they feel intimidated by Akwa Ibom or me point it out, they should brag about theirs. I'm not going to stop doing it to make them feel better about the story states of their places of origin. Not here, on Facebook, or in person.

No apologies.

Milan dealing with Osimhen less Napoli

Kenneth Okonkwo sha Steven Gerrard level of mess ups

Or both. No self respecting political spokesperson will admit anything negative about their party. If all fails zip your pie hole not starting gushing out like a collapsed dam.

I had high hopes for Obaseki due to his corporate background but alas nothing concrete to show.

OasisX:


Obaseki is working seriously..... Afterall Edo no be Lagos and he ain't taking Edo Money to Ikoyi.

Person went to great lengths to sound like Peter Obi but I suspect it's not him people's gazette isn't exactly the most credible platform.

In a telephone conversation leaked to Peoples Gazette, Peter Obi begged Bishop David Oyedepo to help canvass Christian votes on the eve of Nigeria’s presidential election.

Yeah especially if you think of the great classic composers like Mozart, Handel, Bach and co. Precision and art at its best.
