Does grey work on Saturday or weekend

TheTravelingOne:
From the comments, there’s lots of very broke people in this Nairaland

VULCAN:
Too many poverty minded people on Nairaland.

How much is $50k that people keep shouting why should someone keep it at home?

Money that can't buy a Prado Jeep.

okunwaye:
Nairaland is dominated by hungry wretch individuals

PepeXKermit:
You can deduce when people are poor and have lack of opportunities in their life because of the way they think and voice certain opinions. So you do not see anything wrong with what the hpusehelp did, you believe that two wrongs should be right. Men, you guys are furckn sick.

You guys are just noticing that majority of NL users are broke and hateful..

7lives:
I'm in shock reading some comments here.
This is a crime in saner climes.
These are the dollar racketeers we are talking about.

It is not a crime in "saner climes".

Floyd Mayweather keeps huge amount at home.

inoki247:
You people come online to talk anyhow in US if that type of money is stolen in your house you can be in Alot of trouble...

In the same U:S Floyd Mayweather keeps huge amount with him at home...

Chachamiliano:
From the typing I can deduce a little. Now let me make my point clearer. First, I am not a Yoruba man, I did not marry a Yoruba lady, so do not go the tribal route. This is simple economics.
1. What is the man's source of income? Do you even go the route of a business man. And even if he is one, What kind of business is he into?
2. Why do you think in advance countries and currently even in some African countries you cannot stack huge cash at home? Why
3. Why do you think money is called currency? and not any other name?
4. Who keeps money in the bank, when there are lost of investments he can embark on such as mutual funds, treasury bills, foreign share purchase etc. The funny thing is that he can even withdraw his money at anytime.

Do you think if he was in an advance country or even in some countries here in Africa, he will stack such cash at home?

Your last statement made me laugh. The scenario is like saying a convoy of government parastatals evaded traffic by taking one way and call them the problem. But at a traffic light junction, You saw RED light and decided to beat traffic because their is no official to impound your vehicle. Till Nigeria become disciple and start asking fundamental questions both from government and individuals the country will never change.

If you want to know little about this, read up about:
1. Elite theory & Masses theory
2. Iron law of Oligarchy by Abraham Maslow
3. Animal farm by George Orwell

When someone is stating facts commend them..

PepeXKermit is right..

Floyd Mayweather has stacks of dollars in his house so that means in advanced countries anyone can have huge amount of cash with them...

Keeping cash at home means the money is easily accessible and you don't have to fill forms to withdraw your own money and you don't want to hear story when you want to withdraw your money.

Last year when they introduced new naira notes and didn't print enough for circulation the banks stopped people from withdrawing their own naira and put a limit of 10,000 naira withdrawal per day. Imagine you need to pay someone cash of 70k naira but you can only withdraw 10k..

If the guy puts $51k in the bank he would only be allowed to withdraw $10k per day and that's if the bank has up to $10k because the bank can tell him there's no dollars meanwhile he deposited $51k the previous day.

mrwilliams9:
Iwobi is not a holding MF oooo. That was the fault of the coach playing him in that role.

A 3-5-2 where Iwobi plays in front of a midfield pairing of Ndidi/Onyeka or Onyeka/Yusuf would be fine.

It’s like putting Osimhen at RB and expecting him to perform like Ola Aina.

Different profile of player than what is needed in the role

So it's the fault of the coach that iwobi cannot press, close down and tackle opposition players

What is the job of a footballer

Even in Super Falcons the striker Onumonu, Ajibade presses, tackles and closes down players..

It's now iwobi that's a man who is not intentionally closing down and tackling players that you are defending..

PDPdestroyer:
Lol. He's Yoruba bro, you seem not to get the point he's trying to make, which is, if a wall has no crack, it's difficult for a lizard to enter the wall

He is not Yoruba...

Yorubas are smarter than that...

The "wall" does not have to be cracked when it can be broken down or scaled through.

casualobserver:
If it pleases you to believe I am not Yoruba fine, is my message any false if I am not Yoruba?

Your message is very foolish and very false..

To do that I:gbos will have to

stop Yorubas from having children..
they will also have to stop other Yorubas from other SW states from migrating to Lagos.
Stop Yorubas from outside Nigeria from migrating to Lagos.

casualobserver:
Oga you see this our so called education, rationality,” does it make sense” mentality and too much logic is why the Yoruba nation is under siege. In 30 years maximum the ibos will determine who becomes governor in Lagos. We never learn. Telling a thief that you have no right to burgle your house does not mean you don’t have a duty to secure your house.


Our problem is too much sense, too much logic, too much liberalism, did you see the votes they gave Obi in the SE….the same people who were insulting him when he was governor? Stay there and be asking if it makes sense. A thief will do what a thief does, it’s your duty to makes sure he can’t steal from you at at least to make it difficult.. I heard a story that I wish I could share publicly. It tells you we yorubas are our own problem sometimes.

No Yoruba person says we Yorubas..

You are not Yoruba.. so stop saying rubbish..

casualobserver:
It gave the excuse. When someone wants to burn you, you don’t provide the match and the petrol. Hence lessons to be learnt.

If you're quarreling in your fenced house does that mean it is right for your neighbor that has been jealous of you should invade your house and kill you and your entire family and take over your house and when police comes to arrest the neighbor he claims you deserve to be killed because you were quarreling.

Does that make sense to you

I can see you have mental problem...

casualobserver:
Every region played its part which is why it is a Nigerian thing. The yorubas played their part in the conflicts of ego, cult of personality inability to agree to disagree and respect differences that gave an excuse for a coup which almost repeated itself with Osinabajo/Tinubu. The ibos played their part as you said and the north who held on to resources of others are the ones now championing restructuring because all it has done is impoverish them. So it’s a Nigerian problem. We are all reminiscing with nostalgia to a period when things worked but failed because we are Nigerians. The problem wasn’t the system then, nor is it the system now, the problem is our insincerity as Nigerians….all of us!

We never go back to look at where we went wrong and our roles but instead feel changing lanes with solve anything. He who is not a student of history is condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past. Nigerians never learn because they forget history and repeat the same mistakes.

Yorubas failing to agree among themselves is not a wise reason and motivation for people who are not Yorubas and who are i:gbos to start a coup against non-i:gbos..

Yorubas played no part,
northern Nigerians played no part and did not hold on to resources of non-northern Nigerians.

it was only and mainly i:gbos that played the major role in destabilizing non-i:gbo regions which ultimately led to destruction of Nigeria.

Bannedlargedx2:
Although, no player should be bullied at all but how are our fans bullying iwobi and allowing chukwueze to go free? When, chukwueze didn’t do anything worthy

Chukwueze is the one that headed the corner kick cross towards Ekong that Ekong scored which means Chukwueze made an assist and that makes him go free..

if iwobi had made an assist or tried to press opponents and make tackles he may have gone free but he stood still and was ball watching while the people around him were closing down opponents, pressing and making tackles..

point is, iwobi probably had the most un-used energy and stamina in that final and he did not use it.

in summary, iwobi played as if he was bribed not to press and tackle players but people only noticed in that match because more people watched the final but in previous matches iwobi was also doing the same thing of not pressing and tackling players..

all iwobi does is to pass to Sanusi or Simon who then runs with the ball on the LW and then crosses when in reality its iwobi that's meant to run with the ball and make through passes to Osimhen..

In this AFCON, Onyeka was the AM, CAM, CM and DM.. I don't know what iwobi did apart from pass to Zaidu or Simon.. I know he took some shots...

he was poor at this AFCON.

Hopefully when he gets to Fulham he starts running around and pressing again...

casualobserver:
Nigerians like running around in circles avoiding the real issues. When we had parliamentary system we failed, we tried presidential, it has failed…what is the common denominator…..Nigerians! Every time we have an election they want to amen the electoral act, we have one of the best in the world but they still want to amend, what is the common denominator….Nigerians. We have all sorts of laws but the country does not work, what is the common denominator……Nigerians! We had regional government, the same people who abolished it are the ones calling to regional government 60 yrs later. We had secession clause, the same people that opposed it are the ones calling for referendum.

We can a,mend laws and systems all we like but we can’trun away from ourselves. When we are ready to deal with our real issues…..our Nigerian traits, our Pysche, they should let us know.

It was not "Nigerians" it was i:gbos that abolished regionalism and are demanding for it again and it was them that rejected secession clause and are demanding it again.

it is not a "Nigerian" trait it is an "i:gbo" trait.

be specific.

Kushites:
Nigeria will go to war if they do that.

It will be stupid of Nigeria to go war if they do that.

Nigeria can easily build a coal power plant in Enugu if Nigeria honestly wants to solve it's electricity problems.

komekn:
We have agreed that one dimensional players with just one main skill set are essentially obsolete in the modern game.

Sometimes it takes just 15 minutes to see the core skill sets of a player.

Onyedika is immobile, not particularly fast ,not skilful and with limited technical ability. Strong and physical a big yes.

He doesn't have the attributes for a top level DM Holding Midfielder that can defend attack and orchestrate play from the midfield.

We need to look elsewhere.

Onyedika is not immobile and he has unlimited technical ability.

Go on You:Tube and type raphael onyedika because you're not talking about Raphael Onyedika who is orchestrating play for club brugge and midtyland.

Moniter0:
You don't expect a central midfielder to get many assists, he didn't play Attacking Midfielder which is his main role but central midfield, and he got some pre assist in the tourney, and it was his brilliant forward pass that resulted in the corner kick from which Nigeria scored against Ivory Coast. That's the kind of things you expect from a central midfielder.

Iwobi, just like a regular attacking midfielder like Ozil tend to lose ball possessions because they make many forward passes which some of them are successful and some of them gets intercepted.

the game was prosecuted with only two midfielders, and Iwobi was tasked with too much to do which is not supposed to be so. You don't play a player like Ozil in central Midfielder role and also expect him to be marking, incepting and winning ball possessions, and functioning as an Attacking Midfielder at the same time.

iwobi is not Ozil and should never be in the same sentence as Ozil..

Ozil was getting old ( 31 years old ) and could no longer run around like he used to while iwobi is 27 years old and was standing still and ignoring passes to him and allowing opposition player run past while he stands still and watches them run past him.

if iwobi was tasked with "too much to do" what will you say about Ayinde and Ucheibe during the women world cup.

stop defending mediocrity of iwobi.. if he was tired he could have sat down on the field and say they should sub him off.

DeLaRue:
Oh please.

UK law firms are not an arm of the UK government.

The idea that the UK can forcefully deploy soldiers and build UK-owned barracks in Nigeria is preposterous.

UK doesn't have the power or the means to do that.

The most powerful country in the world, the USA, asked to station its military in Nigeria to help combat ISIS and other terrorists in the Sahel. Nigeria declined. The US went to Niger instead.

Nigeria is not a small country. A country of over 200 million people no be beans.

The US can't push Nigeria around let alone small, broke UK.

Every country owned business whether govt or private citizen is an arm of its government.. that you don't know this means you're not knowledgeable.

u:s and u:k are one and the same people..

SuccessfulRichi:
British should come and recolonize Africa please please... Black can't rule themselves. Look at what white South Africans are doing in South Africa. Development here and there. Let's go. Let's go.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, pipe borne water, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, power plants, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1840 and 1960 and after..

they took the trillions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized

go and watch the south African movie "the Power of 1" and see how under-developed most parts of South Africa was.... the South Africa you see today was built by black south Africans..

DeLaRue:
1. Nigerian lawyers have been able to practice in the UK for a long time by writing a simple test called the Qualified Lawyers Transfer test. Even without the test, you can still practice, just that you have to inform prospective clients you are a 'Foreign Lawyer'.

2. UK law firms that set up office in Nigeria will primarily be targeting commercial/business/cross-border transactions. 99% of their work willl be office based. It is unlikely you'll see them wearing a robe and appearing in a court, even though though they might be able to do so.

These people are not coming here to handle Chieftancy, land, election matters, or Mr A ran away with my wife type of cases etc

They will be targeting big transactions.

they are targeting Nigeria's political system and total control of Nigerians..

what it means is they will now be able to freely deploy soldiers to Nigeria and build U:K owned soldier barracks and bases of operations all over Nigeria.

nedekid:
Can anyone explain how this will be beneficial to Nigerians? As I did not see the part where Nigerian lawyers will reciprocatively practice in UK courts.
Lawyers in the house should kindly enlighten us.

it will never be beneficial to Nigerians...

the whyte man can never do anything that will benefit the black man..

Jman06:
You're actually the airhead here, because it is on record that we had the best of education during the colonial era with university of Ibadan being a campus of the university college London. Many of our professors and professionals today we're educated by the colonial masters. Then Nigerians didn't need visa to travel abroad and many were offered scholarships to study in choice universities abroad.

Infrastructures done by colonial masters were of high quality. Those roads and bridges constructed by the British colonial leaders stood the test of time. Our people got the best of healthcare as British doctors were the ones in charge of healthcare. Same British doctors were the ones who later trained our people on orthodox medicine which then replaced our crude and ineffective traditional medicine practice.

The list goes on

South Africa is much more developed today than Nigeria because the colonial masters stayed longer there compared to Nigeria that hurriedly got Independence only for our evil and selfish politician to start looting our common wealth instead of developing the country. Sometimes, I wish that the colonial masters stayed longer in Nigeria. I'm sure the country would have been better than it is today.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, pipe borne water, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1840 and 1960 and after..

they took the trillions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized

catapault is correct you are the airhead..

DeLaRue:
This is positive in some ways

1. Lawyers from Nigeria and other Common law countries have been able to practice in the UK for decades. All you have to do is write the Qualified Lawyers Test (QLT). Most newly qualified lawyers from Nigeria can pass the test at first attempt. It is not difficult at all. Once you pass, you will be inducted as a Solicitor of Supreme Court of England and Wales, and be given a practising certificate. That's it. You can practice like any other British Solicitor. You can complete the whole process within a few months.

All these years that Nigerians have been able to do this, Nigeria did not have a reciprocal simple route for UK lawyers to practice here and there was no histrionics from the UK side.

2. Having global UK firms like DLA Piper opening their own office here will give foreign investors confidence that the same firm handling their matters in Hong Kong, London, New York, Paris etc will handle their matters in Lagos/Abuja Nigeria. Many large foreign companies prefer such seemless arrangement.

3. Nigerian law firms have not particularly covered themselves in glory when it comes to corruption. Many of the international scandals surrounding large contracts where Nigeria's interest were traded cheaply to foreigners in return for bribes were drafted by Nigerian lawyers. Having UK legal firms here who are subject to the UK Bribery Act and who know how much costly and damaging allegations of bribery can be to their reputation is a good thing. Large international contracts involving Nigeria may be better handled on behalf of the country by a global UK law firm based in Nigeria than by Nigerian law firms who time and again have proven themselves ready to sell out Nigeria for a few dollars.

Overall, I believe people are right to ask questions about whether Nigeria is getting anything in return. That's for the government to answer. But, I personally believe this is a positive move.

You're a slave...

it is very negative in every way... especially in the long run..

Kog45:
Alex Iwobi did not deserves all these insults from fans.It is football and a lot happens on the field and even behind the scene....we need to respect our players cuz they are humans.

Some months ago we all watched in the Women's World Cup how the likes of Halimatu Ayinde and Christy Ucheibe ran tirelessly on the field and made sure the SF midfield did not collapse against countries ranked higher than the Super Falcons and these are women..

Now, a certain man named iwobi could not run tirelessly on the field and ensure the SE midfield does not collapse and you're saying
" It is football and a lot happens on the field and even behind the scene....we need to respect our players cuz they are humans."

Ayinde and Ucheibe must be super humans..

iwobi deserves all the insults he is getting from fans especially when women footballers are putting more effort than him on the field..

SE needs the men versions of Ucheibe and Ayinde in the midfield.

Hagiazomakai:
Thank you for your advice
Istopped eating bread and milk long ago

But if i dont eat stew,what else would i use to eat
Kindly advice

Nothing else. Just eat what you eat but without stew.

Hagiazomakai

Stop eating jollof rice or any food that has stew, pepper in them.
Stop taking sugar or anything that has sugar in it like soft drinks, bananas or other fruits that have sugar.
Stop eating boiled eggs.
Stop eating bread because it also has sugar in it.

Drink at least 2 sachets of water after each meal you take.


It also means you're milk intolerant.

People who are milk intolerant should stop drinking milk and anything made from or with milk.

People who are milk intolerant also suffer from pile ( blood coming out an*s while purging ) due to taking too much sugar.

You must stop milk, sugar, bread, stew, drinks that have sugar, boiled eggs, pepper, suya e.t.c


Before you go the toilet.. drink at worse 1 sachet or half a bottle of water.

There's is no cure or medicine to completely treat it. You have to become strict with what you eat and drink.

safarigirl:
Another person being foolish.

Your country imports everything from laptops to toothpicks, every single thing is in dollar rate in this country and it affects the buying and selling.

Take this foolishness to nursery school children, don't chat rubbish were adults are

Nigeria is not the only one that imports laptops and toothpicks that is as a result of the 1960 generation not been into science and technology and engineering..

Kog45:
A very good tournament for Nigeria and time to reflect on how to fix the team up for WC qualification.It is time to give the likes of Akinsanmiro and Eletu the chance cuz it was glaring we couldn't controlled our games in the middle in all our matches.

SE coaches will say Akinsanmiro and Eletu are too young.

SE haven't given Onyedika, Tijani any chance and Yusuf until this tournament wasn't invited.

Once Ndidi recovers the SE coaches will send Onyeka to the bench instead of playing a midfield of iwobi, Onyeka and Ndidi they won't invite one of Onyeka, Onyedika or Yusuf after this AFCON anymore.

jieta:
peseiro did not have a plan but he took the team to the final, it's high time some of you take up the super eagles job.

You don't know how strong the Super Eagles team is.

komekn:
When teams face a skilful fast forward player known to cause danger you always DOUBLE UP. Have you ever seen defenders allowing Mbappe, Ronaldo, Zaha etc to go 1v1 on your defense.

Aina had Adingra mostly covered in the first half even the first 25 minutes of the second half . But he was having too many 1v1 Chukwueze was not able to go forward and should have been backtracking. By the second half our boys were getting exhausted and completely gassed out, too much work.

Our midfielders were outnumbered and out skilled in the most negative defensive posture you can find. We could not win any second balls.

If Iwobi was placed much closer to VO and in a more forward position it may have been different. But he was playing DM and conceded the midfield.

I was surprised Onyeka was not sent off because he was working tirelessly and getting several fouls. Particularly because the referee was clearly biased. He stifled VO aggressive game with wrong calls against him and warned him.

From the get go any physical touch with the CIV players and they are rolling around like you hit them with a sledge hammer ⚒️.

This was made worse with our negative defensive posture literally inviting CIV to attack non stops 🛑

The bolded is a problem you, others and SE coaching crews are not answering.

iwobi was underwhelming and iwobi does not have to be in a "more forward" position let the striker ( Osimhen ) be closer to Iwobi not iwobi closer to the striker.

To do what you're saying then a 3 - 4 man midfield is needed..

charlesemeka85:
Na so all of them dey hype Alhassan Alhassan after our first game but all of a sudden the noise died off

Our 3rd and last game in the group stage against Guinea that iwobi didn’t start all of us witnessed how disjointed the midfield was before he got subbed in but nobody go gree talk am

As long as its a 2-man midfield then its always going to be disjointed.

Mujtahida:
I don't understand the emphasis on senior impacts on a player playing a role he's not familiar with. So him seniority go help am if he's made to play as a defender abi?

In football, a player has 2 roles.

1. - to defend and press when his or her team is not in possession.

2. To attack and keep possession when his or her is in possession.

As long as the player is not a defender or GK then roles don't matter..

Midfielders are meant to attack and defend unless the coach tells the midfielder to hold midfield position.

chrisooblog:
We over achieved. We don't have the best set of players on the continent.

Yes we are blessed in some areas like the attack but let's not be dishonest going into the competition we complained about how poor our goalkeeping, defense and midfield was.

So don't make it sound like we were run away favorites.

The performance of the defense and Nwabali pleasantly surprised us that almost had us winning the trophy.

Nigeria is always a contender at the AFCON like Egypt, Cameroon and Ghana but that's not always a guarantee we will win all the time.

In our team only Nwabali plays in Africa.

Our other players play in top leagues across Europe, so SE has one of the best set of players on the continent in fact top 2 best out of all the other countries. I will place them at #1.

SE didn't win the Trophy because of reliance on Osimhen for goals.
