Reading in some reports Osimhen could miss tomorrow's game against AC Milan due to an abductor muscle injury.

@Seun what's up with this disorienting format?

Ppogbae:
Why is nairaland looking like an old school video game?

I know for a fact someone in my church who was kidnapped in PH two years back.

However if the guys that stay there say such things are isolated incidents I differ to their extensive knowledge of the place.

DissTroy:
Man, let's even focus on PHALGA which is the capital of Rivers. Can you beat your chest that you can walk around Mile 1 unscathed by 9PM? Let's not even go into Ogbunabali.

Do I come across like someone who doesn't know how Rivers State works or doesn't know just about every nook and cranny there is? Asides living and working there for years, you'd be surprised how many times a month I have to pop into Rivers (Port Harcourt especially).

Abonema, Degema and the likes have kidnappings, shootouts, and killings EVERY SINGLE DAY! Everyday.
It's rough in Port Harcourt but outside of Port Harcourt is the Wild West in very direction.

At the end of the day it's about people making choices.

Tobacco, MJ, Alcohol, Cocaine, Heroin you name all have adverse effects on your health but people choose to consume them which unfortunately will be hard to stop cos you can't legislate human behavior.

When I talk about tobacco and alcohol doing more damage to societies it's not just on the said individual taking those substances but secondary effects on other people eg. drunk driving leading to fatal accidents, domestic violence, rape, high medical costs due to cancer treatments.

Ideally as a Christian I would prefer all these addictive substances be banned all together but sadly we leave in the real world.

obainojazz:
Meth is more addictive than those two…. See what Meth addiction is doing to some communities in the USA.

Small Meth enter Anambra and people craze finish….State where people consume beer like water.

Easier to die from Meth overdose than alcohol I believe… You drink till you get drunk and probably pass out… Meth keep consuming and you keep needing more since e no Dey bellyful

It's a tough question but how you realistically stop people from taking these substances?

Alcohol and tobacco have arguably caused more deaths in human society yet these substances are not banned.

I don't have all the answers but we've been using the same tactic of bans and law enforcement against drug proliferation which clearly has solved the problem.

raumdeuter:
How do you make cocaine, heroine, fentanyl and Meth legal and how do you regulate its usage? You tell people that you can only smoke 1 wrap per day and you have someone monitoring them to ensure compliance?

people's kidneys are being damaged from excessive alcohol.

Smoking cigarettes is one of the leading causes of cancer yet these items haven't been totally banned.

Everything doesn't have to be about virtue signaling or agenda bruv.

Spy360:
I see what ice is doing on the streets. Legalising drugs will only make it affordable, but will send souls to asylum.

Could this discussion be the growing preliminary effect of having a drug baron as president-elect?

We are f**ked

Make drugs legal like they did with alcohol regulate its usage.

Unpopular idea but something to think about.

raumdeuter:
How can govt evolve with the trends regarding drugs to eliminate Narco violence

Yeah I read that on twitter too but someone said the rules have been adjusted by FIFA allowing 24 year olds to play if the said player isn't classified as one of the allowed 3 overage players.

Modified just read the FIFA communique 3 overage players can be involved in the qualifying rounds so the goal scorer most probably falls into that bracket.

lovewins:
Maybe just maybe Nigeria could get into the u23 AFCON/Olympic through the back door. The Guinean player who scored their second goal Alseny Soumah is overaged. It is even very easy to prove as Alseny has participated in other CAF competition and his registered date of birth is on record.

You'll also notice that other platforms like transfermarkt still have his original birthday. Of course I know Nigeria has her own infractions but this one can be proven. Whether the NFF will take this up remains to be seen.

Remember Morocco used this against Ghana women's u-17 as they could prove from Facebook that some of the girls were overaged.

You're 100% right. She bungled the covid-19 response in Cross River and displayed very confident, arrogant IGNORANCE about issues around the pandemic.

afrodoc2:
She is incredibly unqualified to be Minister of Health in my opinion.

Sanwo-Olu has tweeted that the young man will be awarded damages the court ordered and that the Lagos State government will withdraw their appeal against the judgment. Still doesn't excuse how the young man was treated.

BlueRayDick:
For the sane minds and those who still have a shred of conscience , this is the video from the scene of assault against the Uber driver by Policemen and LNSC officers


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEvUW-zqwt8

Lagos state government appealed the 5m compensation awarded against them and the police because they claimed “ there’s no evidence of torture “

Some people ehn , if heaven and hell dey true true , dem go give some people o Geepeee tank of petrol and their own matches to go start their own hell fire at a new location on judgement day

Happy Birthday Glorious wish you a ton of blessings bruv.

GloriousGbola:
thank you everyone for the warm wishes.

and yes i feel glorious from this outpouring of good will

sincere apologies to any missed greeting. na old age.

It is well bro.

Me sef go soon sign out from this thread.

May God continue to bless your hustle.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I think I'm exhausted from discussing politics bro.

No vex[/color]

As it stands LP only looks sure of winning one state in the governorship can we say we overestimated the Obi wave?

cc izzou, blueraydick, flint, larride, istrm

Bayern would be most ideal. Currently looking for a number 9 plus a top quality team devoid of not too many egos.

If Napoli were a historically massive club I would have suggested Victor stays but I think this season is just about as good it's going get for Napoli for some seasons to come.

The most ideal club in the EPL for Osimhen's style of football is Chelsea. As an Arsenal fan I would love to have him at the Emirates but I'm not sure the club would be willing to pay up. Man U would be ok although not ideal for him. For me Man City under Pep is a no no. He doesn't fit the kind of profile of player Guardiola likes plus City already has Haaland.

Danielnino00:
Even Arsenal fans can't confidentiality say they can challenge for the title again next season
IMO, Bayern would be the perfect place for Osimhen.. He is sure of winning at least a trophy every year and will score a lot of goals...

But seriously why get yourself killed because of a politician Ruto and Odinga that will probably be best buds few years from now

Saying he won't deliver in EPL now is not necessarily being pessimistic but realistic.

Orban at his current level of development might struggle in the premier league however the French ligue 1 though a higher level of football compared to Belgium will give him room to express himself, make mistakes and ultimately flourish.

I remember last season there was a run of games either 8 or 10 can't remember where Moffi wasn't scoring but Lorient kept starting him. Will an EPL club be so generous especially if you're a foreigner? (read black man)

Blueelf:
and they say i am pessimistic

he will deliver in the PL

Nnamani guyman wey build flyover come talk say na tunnel .

Chime was his chief of staff I think.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If there is any governor that brought some glimmer of development to Enugu, I'll give it to Sullivan Chime.

Even though he's in APC now, that guy served.

Class of 99 wey still dey hustle Senate seat.

Love this

Victor Osimhen is taking Napoli to their first Serie A title since Maradona won it 💙 pic.twitter.com/1DJlT4xsYS

Yeah him and Kvara will most likely be nominated.

To get into the Balon D'or conversation then he will have to win UCL with a game deciding performance at the moment Haaland and maybe Mbappe are in prime position.

Blueelf:
I have a question

Seeing as it is almost certain Vic Osimhen would win the serie a and top goalscorer award, would winning the UCL put Vic Osimhen in Ballon D'or contention?

cc thesupernerd andrewbaba44 thegoodjoe charlesemeka85 odunayaw andsungorilla kog45 bascovanveli fabyom

I need your honest and unbiased takes

Also highest ever Nigerian goal scorer in a single season of a top 5 European league.

Ppogbae:
And with 21 goals, Osimhen has broken Simy Nwankwo's record for most goals by a Nigerian in Serie A

Exactly probably of mixed parentage but leaning more to Nigeria

charlesemeka85:
I think he is bilingual

Monster Machine 20 league goals baby! highest Nigerian goal scorer in a single league season of a top 5 league.

Modified: Actually just equaled Simy Nwankwo's record but still on course to break it.

If she can pull it off I'll be so happy.

Her candidacy isn't some tokenism for women empowerment from what I heard she really pulled her weight in the national assembly did some good things. That 30k gap will be hard to make up sha.

OasisX:


13 Local Governments So Far:

Binani - 216,105
Fintiri- 247,053

8 Local Governments Left,
Yola South, Yola North, Fufore, Mayo, Belwa, Hong, Toungo and Numan.

5 Binani Strongholds.

Keep Calm!!

I thought reports said PDP was cooking in Enugu.

Theflint1:
It's looking like Frank Nweke Jnr will be a victim of the Obidient wave, hope whoever is winning there will be good for the people of the state.

Aisha Kitty .

It's Binani bro or are you channeling Izzou's spirit

Is she doing well? Cos the few polling results I saw on the IREV show she's losing.

PDPGuy:
Aisha kitten 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Only God knows when this country will evolve beyond thuggery. Really disappointed but not surprised with reports from different areas how people are being harassed and intimidated especially in Lagos. Lagos APC has to find a way to talk to and suppress the thuggish elements amongst them.

Happy Birthday Doc! wish you more successful years ahead God bless

TheSuperNerd:
Very important suggestion. Bag a first half brace and go rest.

The UCL and Serie A Double is our new Goal for Africa's Newest King of World Football.

Salah's and Mane's time is coming to an end... from this 2023 onwards, we are now into the Era Of Victor Osimhen as Africa's leading light in the World Game.

Inject it somebody!!! Inject IT NOW!!!

Inject it because today is my birthday and I am never wrong on Osimhen Prophecies.

Everything I have told him pre-Napoli is already coming to pass.

Inject it into my veins

Danielnino00:
Napoli winning the champions league will be the biggest upset since Porto win.....
And somebody said Osimhen will not even make APOTY top 3....

The lady in the picture below is 21.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I think you are totally confused a Nigeria will only vote for a criminal all over the world. In Europe and America Nigerian community will be praising a criminal which did nothing for them in Nigeria. The hunger and starvation in the country called Nigeria people are now selling their 11 year old children into marriage

Watched that goal on repeat even the ref was looking in amazement.

Great to have you back doc!

TheSuperNerd:
Victor Osimhen, The Air Monster: The Superman Leap, the lean back in the air, that Insane Hangtime, the technique to direct it and the ability to connect with the ball with a force strong enough to propel it past Kevin Trapp to the top left corner (GK's perspective) of the goal

This Goal needs to be analysed more. It is a crazy headed goal. Probably the best so far in the UCL this season.

Ally McCoist of TalkSports tagged it the best header he has seen since 5 years ago. Lol

3rd pic frame calculates Osimhen's leap as being as high as 35 Osimhen Masks put on top of one another.

Good Morning from the King of the Air.

Not forgetting a fit Sadiq Umar and Onuachu, Okereke, Dessers and Isaac Success on the fringes.

Mad depth!

Kwashiman:
Surely it's not an over-stretch to claim Nigeria has one of the best attacking force in the world in terms of depth and quality? only Germany,Brazil and to some extent England are ahead of us.

Osimhen
Lookman
Moffi
Gift Orban
Chuba Akpom
Nathan Tella?
Victor Boniface
Awoniyi
Iheanacho.

When will fortune finally smile on us and give us world class midfielders and defenders?

Someone even called Serie A a dead league because na Napoli dey top but I no too surprise because I know the TRUE target of that comment but disguising no go make dem talk true

gannod:
Yet some yeye people would tell you it is the farmers league. Meanwhile the overrated EPL has 2 teams remainning.
