From the footage I saw the assassin was definitely well informed. From the time AKA came out of the club to how he shadowed him looked like some gang related execution.

Condolences to his family.

Not a nice way to go.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I saw this tweet of AKA denying he had any involvement in the death of his girlfriend last two years. The police dropped all charges against him. His girlfriend was from Durban

AKA too was killed in Durban. He visited and turned on his location on IG.

Whether na conspiracy theory, I can't tell but whoever killed him was looking forward to that day.

God rest his soul.[/color]

Just watched the CCTV footage of how South African rapper AKA was killed. Left me feeling cold execution style.

Would have posted it here but it's not pleasant viewing.

Good afternoon yeah it does that with me too. If it doesn't the first time just give it a while, resubmit your card details. Glad it worked for you eventually.

Once you cut off supply to Erling in the 18 yard box he looks completely toothless but doing that is no easy feat.

charlesemeka85:
his numbers are out of this world but he’s ball playing and link up play is average

Haaland reigns in the 18 yard box only, he is more like a typical old school English/British number 9

I'm very happy say na oyinbo journalists and analysts dey talk this one if not the usual suspects would have gathered here like ants to sugar to accuse you of being sentimental, drunk, an @ss kisser and so on.

nairalandankrah:
Victor Osimhen - the world's best No 9 - is driving a feverish club and city on to their first Serie A title in 33 years… the £150m-rated Man United target is a more complete player than Erling Haaland and so good luck prising him away from Napoli! He may not be quite as prolific as Haaland - who is? - but Osimhen is a more complete No 9. Sporting a protective mask after breaking his cheekbone and eye socket in November 2021, the 24-year-old even looks like a superhero.He has 16 goals in 17 Serie A appearances this term but there is so much more to his game. His speed terrifies defenders, as does his strength.

Unlike Haaland, he links play superbly and has developed a deadly understanding with fellow attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, another of Europe's top players this season.

Roaring his team on from sidelines after he had been substituted during a recent win over Roma, Osimhen showed himself to be natural leader. Yet nearly every elite player today craves the challenge of the Premier League. With United and Chelsea badly lacking a No9, it promises to be a busy summer.

One thing is certain: an Osimhen vs Haaland duel would be something to savour.

no be me talk am oooooo, this is according to dailymail....oyibo newspaper

The Police Commissioner of Lagos needs to be on top of things as we head into elections. The attack on Labour Party members by suspected APC thugs is completely condemnable. Let people make their choice in an atmosphere of peace and tolerance. Governor Sanwo-Olu should get a handle on this and not allow a tense situation snowball into full blown electoral violence. Nobody should also come with the we were provoked excuse. Let votes speak not intimidation and violence.

Christian Atsu still missing watched an interview on BBC with his girlfriend. She says the last time she heard from him was last week Saturday. Pray he is found alive and in one peace.

Fikayo Tomori of AC Milan is number actually with 2.61m, Osimhen second.

robosky02:
Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has smashed Cristiano Ronaldo’s four-year record and is now Serie A’s jump king.

The Nigerian leapt 2.58 metres during their commanding 3-0 win away to Spezia.

Osimhen achieved the incredible feat to score his first goal and Napoli’s second of the day at the Stadio Alberto Picco.

After a goalless first half, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Osimhen added the second in the 68th minute.

The 24-year-old produced a staggering 71cm leap and reached a height of 8.47ft (2.58m) – higher than the crossbar (8ft) – before heading past Spezia goalkeeper Bartłomiej Drągowski.

And according to Corriere dello Sport, with that jump, Osimhen climbed to a height of 2.58 metres.

He has now set a new Italian Serie A record, breaking the previous 2.56 metres mark set by Ronaldo for Juventus against Sampdoria in 2019.

Add to that how the previous board of directors didn't adhere to best corporate governance practises

BlueRayDick:
The next working day CBN will announce the sacking of their entire board of directors and appoint a new board because the bank has given out so many bad loans that the shareholders fund is at risk ( Not like most banks are not guilty of the same offence o)

Honestly counting the days until he Fs off

FBS:
110%.

And someone said he is a good leader? Like what da....

Yes Jakande wasn't corrupt like most modern politicians infact politicians in the second republic were practically saints by todays standards.

Olowunl01:
Nope Baba Jakande was not a self centered thief or wasteful idiot like our current crop of politicians or governors.

Baba choose to put lagos before self, these lots are putting self before state - thats the key difference.

Imagine how further improved lagos or any other state would be without billions being siphoned or wasted.

Deadly combo! Napoli President should give the club's scouting team a healthy bonus for the rest of their lifes. They sabi work.

Koboko99:
This kid isn’t getting the hype he deserves. Kid is golden!!!!

Yes oil prices fell but currency was still stable, population not out of control, basic services still functioning reasonably.

What I'm saying in short is that Baba Kekere was dealt a good hand and didn't have many reasons not to do well.

Unlike today's contemporary governor who apart from dwindling revenue has to deal with crippling debt, decrepit infrastructure, high population, devalued currency and that's just on a regular day. Look at Soludo for instance he's learning the hard way that theory and governance are two entirely different things.

afrodoc2:
Not 100% true. By 1981 oil prices had fallen and the oil boom had ended. Half of Jakande’s tenure was actually in the midst of a national economic crisis.

Convert that 'bastard money' to dollars and compare it to how much Jakande had to play with when Naira was more valuable than dollar with lesser population to boot. Jakande did very well but it would help to also factor how many problems he had to deal with compared to the present.

BlueRayDick:
All these stories after "he did well" are just APC's people way of downplaying his performance.

If u want to be considering all those things u mentioned then u should also consider how modern Lagos state makes "bastard money" as IGR and juxtapose it with the development on ground

Yes he did very well but don't forget to factor into the equation that during his time Nigeria was rolling in money from oil sales, stable currency, low population and support from the FG then who built a lot of infrastructure in Lagos then from Gowon to Shagari.

BlueRayDick:
It's simply because social media was not available that time.

Jakande built low cut housing estate in 16 different locations in Lagos state within 4 years he ruled. When I mean Low cost housing estate, I mean low cost housing estates.

My old man as a 32 year old man was able to take mortgage on and own one 3-bedroom flat in one of the estates.

Jakande built the Lagos state secretariat at Alausa, he established Lagos state University, he constructed the lekki-epe expressway, he built hundreds of schools, all of which he did in 4 years.

If anybody manages to achieve half of what that man did in 4years within 8 years in this modern day Era, media no go allow us hear any word again.

His misadventure with the Abacha regime also affected his reputation

If we're talking strictly Borno, Yobe and Adamawa things have improved at least from pre-2015 levels but that doesn't mean things are A okay now. There's still work to be done but it's no longer looking like ISIS infested Syria.

Northwest however is nothing to right home about same for parts of North Central

BlueRayDick:
But.... But...They told us those military hardware have turned the tide of the battle against insurgency

Papa Jakande is well respected but after his tenure he wasn't really deeply involved in anything political like that unlike late Alex Ekwueme who was always a major political voice until his death.

His involvement in the Abacha government could have also stained his white abit but he's respected nonetheless.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But talking about Lagos

Why isn't Jakande eulogised like Tinubu?

I grew up reading about his inputs in the development of Lagos, but nobody talks about him like that.[/color]

Just did a brief scan of the poll according to them Atiku is doing really badly likely not to win seems it's between Obi and Tinubu. Like other polls Obi is predicted to win let's see 25th is not far again God keeping us alive.

raumdeuter:
The currency and fuel crisis is pushing Atiku ahead and giving him the edge

So its still close between Atiku and Tinubu for 1st and 2nd

Linda Ikeji has unfortunately always shown disregard for human feelings. Never let's emotion get in the way of making money yeye woman.

raumdeuter:
think its distasteful to run such movie without the family's consent

The goodjoe wetin dey occur for Man city?

If they had mentioned Amrabat I won't have responded because it was largely down to his midfield performances especially against Spain and Portugal that they were able to go so far.

TheSuperNerd:
Let me help you with this one Chris.

You know how well I follow Moroccan football and their national teams so I should know this for facts.

At the WC, Hakimi was good but he wasn't even Morocco's best player.

That belongs to either of Bonou, Ounahi or Amrabat if we are being honest. The majority of the world media even had more praises for Amrabat than any other Moroccan on the team and we all know he actually had arguably the biggest influence on Morocco's transition-based plays.

Now, a honest question... can Elyte89 tell us confidently that Sofyan Amrabat will win the APOTY ahead of a player who will end the season on 20+ league goals, a Serie A Title, an MVP award and a Top Scorer award??

And doing so as the first African to top score in Italy ever?? Amrabat of Fiorentina will bag APOTY ahead of a man who will win the title of champion in the same league he features in??

Elyte89 and others of this school of thought... come and answer honestly. 😁

You sef see am! When we praise him they call us yes men who don't want him to improve.

Anyway Osimhen should continue to stay focused and determined. Use all that doubt and criticism and fuel to prove them wrong.

slimthugchimee2:
I just dey laugh

See shifting of goal post

They first started with osimhen is at Ligue1 apart from PSG everyteam in Ligue1 is subpar

Then to osimhen hasn't been worth the amount of money paid for him by napoli

Then it changed to Osimhen doesn't score against big teams

Now it's kvara is the only reason osimhen is scoring and Seria A is an easy league to score

South Korea made it to semifinal of 2002 world cup heaven didn't collapse.

Turkey has won a world cup bronze the world didn't collapse so I should now faint because an african team got to the world cup semis because it's written down somewhere that another african country can't surpass achieve what they did?

I asked a simple question what was the level of Hakimi's performance at the world cup that makes him worthy of APOTY till now I'm still waiting for the answer.

Pre and post world cup how many moroccan players have blow us away with their performances in club competition this season? Because of world cup run where luck was also a factor you know want make person hear word.

Credit to Morocco they tried but it's still a one of. God keeping all of us alive let's see what they do at the next AFCON and the world cup in 2026.

elyte89:
C ur mouth like fairytale run

If e easy go do am na

Na y ur country no qualify

Alaye no downplay those guys efforts at d World Cup cos u want to justify osimhen winning Apoty

Write it down, osimhen might not even make it to the top three shortlist except if he wins or reaches the uefa champions league final. Maybe majority of u guys av forgotten caf bias approach towards dis awards(anglophone countries). osimhen needs to do something extraordinary to win it.

I am cin at least 2 of Morrocan players making it to the last three apoty award 🥇.

How many goals and assists did Hakimi drop at the world cup that makes him deserving of an APOTY award?

Well if you can't score against bums to help your country win a major medal that they haven't won in over 50 years then what is your use?

So after finishing his playing career Hakimi will show his grandkids 'I got to the world cup semifinal' medal abi?

Joezinho:
The same fairy tale run Osimhen and his likes could not do. Hakimi stands a better chance than Osimhen. Or do you think National team games do not matter? It’s an African award.

It’s not by scoring tons of goals against the bums of africa like Sierra Leone, Lesotho, Benin, CAR and São Tomé.. Where did he lead his team to?

Why do keep insisting on a two legged game that happened last year? So big stars don't mess up a times? Did Salah carry Egypt to the world cup? Did Mahrez inspire Algeria to beat Cameroon? Guy did you bet your life savings on the Ghana game cos I don't understand again!

Somebody has been scoring double digits in top 5 European leagues four seasons running now and you're saying you cannot be fooled. When will you be fooled when he wins the league or finishes top scorer?

BannedLarge:
Oga no one said Osimehn is a bad player what people are saying is that the league is Dead. Btw, how come our superstars couldn’t score in 180 minutes vs Ghana after all those hype that season You can fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool everyone all the time

Same Hakimi that went ghost mode against a whole BENIN REPUBLIC at the 2019 AFCON. Same Hakimi that was knocked out by Salah and inshallah FC at last year's AFCON?

Just because of a fairytale run where he was one of a few good contributors to Morocco's performance he deserves APOTY? You should have mentioned Ziyech too na.

Joezinho:
Hakimi for me..

You can’t be banging in goals everywhere but when your country needs you, you go mute.

Lol please free them doc it's their coping mechanism shifting goalposts. First it was Osimhen can't score against big teams, now it's Serie A is a dead league same dead league that currently has three teams in the second round. Same dead league that Napoli flogged Liverpool senseless earlier in the season.

TheSuperNerd:
Explain why Salah didn't score as much in Serie A as he did in only his first season in England.

Salah hasn't gone below 19 in England in the last 5 seasons but couldn't surpass 15 in Italy. Smh.

Also, Lukaku is back in Serie A. Why hasn't he outscored anyone?

Kvara is certainly one of the X-factors in the league and in this Napoli team but so also is Osimhen. Kvara leads in attacking sequence involvements in the league but that is unsurprising as he is a fantastic vertically-oriented creative winger.

Kvara have had his down moments too. He struggled vs Roma at the Olimpico while Osimhen came up Clutch. Kvara wasn't present vs Atalanta while Osimhen scored and assisted in the lad's absence.

Osimhen has come up Clutch for Napoli more than any other player in the league this season.

Both are tops and Osimhen is indeed the main man. It takes a lot of Composure and top mentality to be able to get on the end of moves like Osimhen have done times and again this season.

And he doesn't get spoon fed all the time. He literally has to FIGHT for some balls that look like lost causes and create goals out of them. Like he did today vs Spezia for the first goal. Like he did vs Ajax in the UCL or like he did vs Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Funny how you lots wanna talk down on the Serie A now because Osimhen is doing great damage to the league's defensive-minded reputation.


Please say something else.

The only incidents I remember happening was thugs coming to scatter ballot boxes in one or two polling units but definitely not widespread attacks against South Easterners. If SE people are being attacked and marginalized in Lagos then how do they keep winning legislative sits?

Thanks to you, Blueray and Disstroy if not they would have hoodwinked the less discerning.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]List the Igbo dominated areas that were attacked in 2019 elections

Infact, let me list them for you, because i am 500% sure you dont reside here

Ojo

Amuwo
Igando/Iba
...ati be be lo

Which one was attacked?

Don't run oh. Don't type long epistles. Just use the links you provided and tell us where Igbos were attacked[/color]

I think what egbon Kog45 means is that Osimhen scored those goals at clutch moments when his team needed something to happen. Any player can score a world class goal but scoring them at crucial moments is another thing.

TheLoneCitizen:
How many world class goals are scored by average players week-in, week-out?

That doesn't define world class.

Yes Haaland has an uncanny knack for getting his positioning right in the opposition box. However I think Victor would give Man City more dynamism and unpredictability in attack considering how he drifts to the wide areas. Haalaad no doubt is probably the best finisher in the game right now but Osimhen's other qualities could also make him an ideal target man for the Cityzens.

TheGoodJoe:

I beleive Osimhen will perform close to Haaland but, I think Haaland is tidier in finding gaps in the box than Osimhen. However, Osimhen is learning fast and if he improves on it, he will become too deadly.

Yes egbon we have waited so many years for a worthy successor to Yekini. Hoping Osimhen can something special for SE like baba Rashidi.

Kog45:
Yes Oga Chris,rooting for Osimhen is not about being cool but being a rare player from NIGERIA.It took us many years after Yekini left the stage to see a real striker and a world class one in Victor Osimhen,so he is worthy to be celebrated.

Many posters might wonder why we're always rooting for Victor. It's not just because he's a very good footballer world class even but because he's an all round cool guy. This video also captures how friendly and genuine he is. God willing he stays injury free I think he's on course to become one of the greats of World and African football.
