If that is the angle you are coming from, You have an education deficiency if you don’t know that the oil industry is less than 15% of Nigeria’s GDP.

We are talking about revenue. The oil industry is becoming less and less a source of government revenue. Crude and gas are the biggest source of official forex but I am sure you will also argue ignorantly when I tell you Nigeria gets more forex from diaspora remittances than it gets from oil. Your cousin abroad who sends money to his parents bring in more forex for the country than Oil…..Shocking I know…but true!!!

Our economy has never been an oil economy. Our government revenue had been dependent on oil due to laziness. Don’t confuse the 2! The only major significance of the oil industry to Nigeria is official source of forex.

The largest companies in Nigeria are not oil companies. Of the top 10 listed companies in Nigeria only 1 is oil related and it is no 10 on the list and it is almost 1/5th the size of the company in no 5 slot which is a food company!
Nigerias richest men are not oil related. Food, telecoms, banking is where our economy is. Oil is really only important for forex. The money we are sharing every month, most of it is company tax, vat and customs duty. Pletase go and verify.

Crude Oil is important to transportation, providing electricity to houses, aviation fuel, plastics, electricity to businesses, electricity to companies you claim are biggest in Nigeria.

You did not list the largest companies in Nigeria yet you're saying what you don't know.

you're wrong and you suffer from mis-education.

casualobserver:
Crude does not account for 85% of govt earnings. It constitutes the major source of forex not overall revenue.

The majority of govt revenue comes from customs duty, company tax and Vat.

VAT alone was 1/3rd of FAAC allocation in September for example.

If oil production is low, and the cost of production goes up then revenue from oil will go down and oil producing states will not get as much as they previously did.

It will surprise you that because oil production has fallen so much some of the states you mention bring more non oil revenue to the Centre than some of the states you mentioned bring from oil.

Burob:
Nonsense, 1.3 million barrels of crude @ best a day, compared to the daily activities of over 70 million working class people?

Data is the new crude oil, even for the ignorant nonsense you posted, you have made a telecom company richer.

Crude Oil creates other industries like aviation fuel industry, petroleum industry, diesel industry, kerosine, Liquified petroleum gases, petrochemical feedstock, plastics, clothing, gum e.t.c..

without crude oil the transport industry is dead and most businesses and companies in Nigeria rely on fuel or diesel for their generators to power their businesses.

the daily activities of over 70 million working class people in Nigeria requires crude oil and its by-products to be operational..

you have a mental problem if you believe crude oil does not contribute over 85% of Nigeria's revenue..

Apel147:
I knew one disgruntled element with zero contribution to national development would sneak in this old narrative, go and find out dude, Nigeria is generating more revenue from taxes more than from oil presently! Beside apart from a lil exploration from imo and Edo accounting for less than 2% of it, Anambra and Abia are yet to contribute a single drop of crude to national coffers! Go and find out!!!

Housing:
Stop spreading misinformation, in the last two years tax revenue had been more than crude oil earnings. Moreover, the FAAC is calculated based on revenue generated, population and equity.

Some of those States actually have higher FAAC allocation but lesser FAAC allocation received due to external debts. Federal Government always deduct external debts commitment by each States before remittance of it's FAAC allocation due. E.g Ogun State and Lagos State

you guys have been deceived..

Tax revenue can never ever be more than crude oil revenue and even the tax is gotten from taxation of crude oil extracting and petroleum companies...

you are the ones spreading fake news

Baba gud day, please go easy ooo.SE issues shouldn’t distract or make us be at dagger’s drawn on each other considering that we are only analyzing.

He said I was "slow".. so I responded accordingly...

If someone abuses and talks down on you on the internet the best response is to abuse the person back and talk down on the person.

98% of people who talk down on others suffer from inferiority complex and don't know how to engage in intelligent conversations without trying to belittle the other person.

typicalgamer:
It seems you’re high on cheap wine

Because he’s the only midfielder on the pitch it means all finish passes must pass solely through him

How deluded are you ?

From full backs to center backs to wingers

All of them should be able to do what iwobi does to a degree

Saying i won’t score because I’m a defender is pure foolishness
Saying i can’t drop a pinpoint pass when the need arises because I’m a cb is pure ludacris

What are they on the field for if they can’t thread the needle with a pass ?

Iwobi is not a cdm nor a Cb nor a Rb but within a 90mins frame he covers those positions upto 5 times each

So he’ll say I’m not a cb I won’t close out the open man

Bros you’re slow you’re slow you’re slow

Arnold shouldn’t bring in dead balls because it’s meant for only midfielders

Marcelo won’t dribble because it’s meant for only attackers

Theo Hernandez won’t overlap because it’s meant for only wingbacks

Bros you’re slow some of you need to be screen out of here

You're the one that's slow. You're putting words in my mouth that I never said you lack intelligence and suffer from low self-esteem.

I am the one that said fullbacks and wingers are chance creators and are the ones who assist.

Your dumb and dull brain said " When you have only attackers creating chances for their fellow attackers there’s a problem".

Now you're changing your words because you know you're saying nonsense and rubbish.

You're a child using childish antics to deceive yourself that you have sense but you're a senseless fool.

You can't even come up with your own ideas you have to steal my own ideas and use it against me you're very stupid and dull.

typicalgamer:
The bolded is a total misyarn and bull crap

When you have only attackers creating chances for their fellow attackers there’s a problem

When you have only iwobi being the creative mind in the midfield there’s a problem

When you have 1 assist as his only highlight in 4 previous matches there’s a problem

When you don’t know your best cb pairing there’s a problem

We’re playing against average teams that can’t hold the ball we’re struggling, what happens when we qualify for World Cup and meet a team of our caliber or higher

Then it’ll end with at least we try na

In Liverpool, apart from the fullbacks the attackers create chances for each other so you're the one saying bull crap.

Iwobi is usually the only midfielder on the pitch so yes he will be the only creative mind in midfield because he is the only midfielder.

Only 1 assist proves my point on attackers and fullbacks been the ones to create chances and Iwobi is not a Bruno Fernandez or Jude Bellingham type of midfielder.

If the strikers and midfielders don't drop deep to help the defenders then no CB pairing will ever work and that's why the SE has been conceding the same type of goals with different CB pairing.

SE players don't also know how to hold ball that's why they concede goals..

Portugal have already shown SE what would happen if we play higher rank teams when they beat SE 4 - 0.

mank1234:
We conceded from set-pieces and not open play.And most of these have been as a result of bad goal keeping and poor defending. In as much as we are struggling to score, we should not also be letting in goals like basket.

Everything boils down to the coach. He promotes mediocrity. Bench is supposed to be for non performers but our coach prefers to reward mediocrity. While it's ok to defend your players publicly, JP should have benched Uzoho and any player that makes mistakes. That way you build seriousness and discipline.

Bad goalkeeping and bad defending are a result of lean midfield and offensive players not dropping deep to help defense and midfield.

Sports and football is played to take advantage of bad defending or to make the opponents make mistakes then pounce on the mistake.

The SE concedes because the opponents know how to make the SE players make mistakes and also know that the SE players have a lackadaisical attitude.

These are the same players and same formation Rohr, Eguavoen used so JP is not the person picking the players and formation.

mostob:
Bro.. the way some people analyze football here sometimes baffles me.

What is now the difference between what he is suggesting and what we're playing now? I just tire

SE is playing with too many selfish strikers in the starting 11 and it is affecting the balance of the team because the strikers do not want to drop deep to help the midfield and defense. we need strikers that like to pass the ball and are selfless if SE is to continue with such setup which is a bad setup because the strikers are not scoring goals..

the other option is to start 4 midfielders and 2 strikers or 5 midfielders and 1 striker so that the midfielders will control the midfield and the game with their passing since the 4 strikers the SE is starting don't know how to control the game and midfield is too lean to control the midfield and so once SE loses possession there is usually space in the midfield for opponents to pass through the SE midfield which is why the SE concedes the first goal most of the time.

Danielnino00:
Wetin u dey talk? Salah is naturally a winger.. he plays as an inverted winger.. Diaz is also 100% a winger.. Jota spent the majority of his career as a winger before joining Liverpool,but he can play as a central forward.. Nunez is a strilee, but his pace and dribbling skills make him able to play on the wing... All 5 of Liverpool's first choice forwards are versatile.. the same cant be said of ours...

You want to tweak the formation and play players in roles they arent technically suited for

SE players are versatile.

If Iwobi plays AM then Nwakali/Onyeka and Ndidi/Onyedika/Yussuf play midfield in a 4-2-3-1.

Or play only one striker and play Iwobi as AM then Nwakali at Iwobi's left and Onyeka at Iwobi's right then play Onyedika and Ndidi as CM and DM then in the 2nd half bring on Boniface, Moffi and Orban for Nwakali, iwobi and Onyeka.

The point is the SE is not scoring goals and to score goals you need players that like to assist, create chance for others to score and are selfless like Boniface, Moffi, Awoniyi on the wings.

The open net Awoniyi missed was created by Boniface due to Boniface been on the LW.

mostob:
Just look at what you typed.


Rather than suggest good wingers that will push the ones we currently have, you decided to move the strikers around. When did Moffi and Boniface turned to wingers? When last did Orban played as a midfielder?


The funniest thing is you listed 7 outfield players excluding the back 4 and goalkeeper.


Na 12 players dey play match?

Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Jota all play as wingers for Liverpool but they are strikers. so there's no harm in playing strikers as wingers.

Orban will play SS, I call the SS role as AM so that the high amount of strikers the SE has can be put to use. Iwobi is not a Bruno Fernandez type of midfielder that scores lots of goals especially when the strikers don't score...

Iwobi, Nwakali and other midfielders should play as CM or CAM not as AM or SS because they don't score goals and Super Eagles needs passers in Midfield and Iwobi, Nwakali and Onyedika/ndidi/yussuf/Onyeka midfield will either pass to the wings or AM who would then cross or pass to the central striker or other players in the box.

simple.

Barryseal:
Going forward, players like Olisa Nda, Ibrahim Olawoyin, Igho Ogbu, Akor Adams, Gift Orban, obinna Nwobodo, Arthur Okonkwo, Nwakali must be added to refresh the team. We missed doing this during the friendlies which is quite unfortunate.

Add these hungry set of players to the team and watch our fortunes change.

NFF can't change the players and the SE is not qualifying for the world cup because the players will never be changed.

Boniface likes to assist and should be playing LW while Moffi plays RW if chukwueze is un-available while Adams plays Striker then Orban plays AM while iwobi plays LCM and Nwakali plays RCM and Ndidi/Onyedika/Yussuf plays DM.

Then Uzoho is permanently banned from the team.

elyte89:
Let’s try to get barryseal point…firstly as an experienced foreign player plying ur trade in best foreign leagues week in week out shld beat a very lowly rated team even if their coach is not on the touch line ….we had no biz drawing against d likes of Lesotho 🇱🇸 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.these are one of the easiest games in the group

Secondly…80percent of the players in our team feels too relaxed that they knw Dey would be starting games once Dey re invited.it’s high time we involve hungry players who re ready to compete and give deir .it’s not necessary they must play in d first five best foreign leagues ,afterall those who executed the last two matches were majorly from d so called leagues dt couldn’t defeat carpenters

You want the NFF that always complain of lack of funds to drop players that some of the NFF members might be collecting money
from for the betterment of the super eagles you must be joking because the NFF only works for the betterment of their private pockets.

If they wanted to do something for the team then Uzoho will not be getting call up invitations.

Odunayaw:
You don't mean it

Yes..

Some high ranking football administrators may also be using the SE to play bets..

chuks404:
t
It shows you the man is stupidly clueless. Is Iheanacho the solution of a midfield that can't even play a one two. What have we done wrong? Seriously this is deeply disheartening.

At club level strikers are usually paid higher than most players on the team.
so that means most of the SE strikers have more money to buy their way into the team than the other players and could the one of the reasons more strikers are invited to the SE.

DeepSight:
Thank you very much and have a nice day. You need prayers.

Prayers are powerless and are for people who are under religious hypnosis.

you need reality. not whyte people created reality

Catapault:
My brotha, I swear, people like this just irritate me.

And they are all over this forum.

they are very plenty...

its as if there's a "task force" somewhere that's just meant to make anti-african comments on the internet.

DeepSight:
Last question. Just to be clear, you also say that the slave trade never happened. The Trans Atlantic slave trade, that is. Just to confirm there isnt some sarcasm I am missing. Thank you.

no sarcasm..

it is story meant to keep black people in carribeans and america against west Africans.

whyte people did not have the infrastructure to move large amount of people from one continent to another.

whyte people in that era were also very racist and hated black people so they will kill any black person they see rather than trade with that black person.

In 2023, Africans are tribal.. In that era, Africans would have been very tribal and trying to kidnap one African from his ethnic nation would have meant attacking his entire ethnic nation simply put, it would have been impossible to kidnap one black person away from his ethnic nation because his tribes people will fight back.

Are you dumb?

I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS.

THEY CAN AFFORD TO SPEND ON BEAUTIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE ON ANYTHING THEY WANT.

DO YOU ALSO WANT TO KNOW THEIR INCOME PER CAPITA?

Mumu.

Oh sure, it is their “white skin colour” that mysteriously, magically makes them love nice gardens.

Is that what you want to hear?

Dumbass, stupid slave.

Abeg lost from my face.

Mumu.

he will quote endlessly expecting you to continue to reply him especially now that you are getting emotional...

he has mental issues and anti-african sentiments.

DeepSight:
Small question, just before I leave a maniac to be a maniac - have you taken a view of the history of this poster or you have arrived at this conclusion solely based on this thread?

I know naptu2. he is a paid political humanoid.

lexy2014:
can you kindly state how you arrived at your conclusions?

Can you kindly state how you arrived at your questions?

Viridis:
😂😂😂 Wise man
But I think you are wrong, the guy's post is neutral.

that's the problem.

the posts seems neutral on the surface but beneath it is a tool of hypnosis meant to make you sympathetic to whyte people.

Catapault:
“Touch of a white man”?

Asokoro, Abuja is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Ikoyi is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Banana island is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

It is about WEALTH and CLASS, not skin colour.

If you go to poorer parts of cities in the western world, the white residents don’t ‘manicure’ their gardens if they have any.

They don’t give a damn.

You will see cigarette stubs all over the place and even empty beer cans.

The most they’ll do is cut the grass when it grows too high.

lexy2014 has serious anti-black sentiments and is not someone you should engage in anything as he would continue to quote you endlessly with irrelevant, dull and dumb things..

avoid such people for your own peace of mind and quote them once.

DeepSight:
Much of what the excellent Naptu2 presents is devoid of views - it is simply naked information - often of the kind that thoughtful people reflect upon. Please do not presume that this fine poster does not possess his views on the subjects you raise - and on much much more. What he has done here however, is simply present information for reflection, as is his wont.

what he has done here is show us that he is suffering from colonial mentality and posts like this are meant to keep the minds of people in Nigeria in line with what his paymasters want.

jmoore:
I am calling out your hypocrisy. When the white man does it, you are offended but you are okay with your brother doing it. Same way most of you guys shout racism up and down when tribalism is spreading like cancer. Remove the log of wood in your eyes first.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

there is no ethnicity called Nigerian..

Nigeria is a location created by the british..

the nations within Nigeria have their own ethnic territory and are naturally meant to protect their territory from others...

you can accuse a Nigerian of xenophobia but not tribalism...

people like you shouting tribalism are living outside their ethnic territory and try to dictate, manipulate and control the indigenes of other territories and when they oppose you and your likes you start shouting tribalism...

that's not tribalism that's protectionism.. they are protecting themselves from you.

jmoore:
Who your issue epp?

When will your people apologize for the atrocities during slave trade? Kidnapping your fellow black man and selling it to white men.

slave trade never happened..

whyte people did not have the logistics, transportation and weaponry to carry out inter-continental slave trade.

Another thing, whyte people in that era hated black people a lot and will rather kill a black person than trade with a black person.

charlesemeka85:
oga iwobi fought his way to the national team

As of then he was highly rated in arsenal youth team and after his debut for the super eagles he made his first epl debut for Arsenal’s first team and did very well

U for kuku talk say na jay jay influence the boy take mk arsenal first team 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also na jay jay influence iwobi take remain for epl over half a decade now 🤣🤣

Players like Akanji, david Alaba, adeyemi, eze, oliseh e.t.c were all highly rated but never given the chance at a young age like I won't was given.

Nobody said "Iwobi's time will come". "He should wait for his time". e.t.c

When next you wanna quote a write up, try to read with compression firstly.


The post you quoted came in paragraphs. First paragraph talked about his intelligence while the second paragraph talked about his good use of English.


Where did you read that his good use of English is why I consider him intelligent? Have you even listened to this boy talk?

When you want to quote a write up with intention to defending your own write up that was quoted, ensure you have the intelligence to understand your own write up.

It is foolishness and un-intelligent to argue about another race indigenous language.

ChrisKels:
I have never seen a Nigerian player either home bred or foreign bred speak as intelligently as Jerome Akor Adams. Damn that boy is super bright.

I don't even wanna talk about his fluency in English language even though he hasn't lived in an English speaking country before, besides being born here in Nigeria. It is hard to believe he didn't go beyond secondary school education.

Fluency in English is not a sign that a person is super bright.. that's colonial mentality.

His name has both Jerome and Adams in it that means he will align towards English and since english is an official language in Nigeria then he has to learn it.
