Na statistics we go chop?. Make una no mind this IPOB organization. Tinubu said we are taking baby steps and I believe him. On his manhood I stand gidigba.

Ladies and gents, we are heading to AFCON with 5MF. It's official. In another news, we have seen different permutations and combinations of these MF, but the result always come out the same. " We always loose the MF battle' Maybe just maybe coach has another ace up his sleeves. January will tell.

elyte89:
Musa is just one player out of 25…I no wan hear pim or any excuses like say na musa no make us lift the nations cup .let’s kuku assume we re taking 24 players to the tournament 😎

23 players tho. That Leke Ojo is another "P" in Psychology. I don't know why Ps decided to limit the weapons in his armoury. 2 MF into d team would have given some assurance. Na in case things begin go south. Leke over Nwoke & Obasogie?? issorite oh. Ezenwa during his time was not the best in NPFL, but he has a lions heart and knew how to take charge no matter how big the occasion is. Can Leke stand up and be counted when called upon Only time will tell.

[quote author= post=127666990]The government know what to do to help these businesses to grow.
They need to do something to keep them afloat.

But in some cases though,
The internal staff ran this businesses down with looting and stealing.
Many indigenous companies have been ran down by the staff they employ.
A good example below....


Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.......for real!

Greed and Dishonesty, the two main problems of an average Nigerian.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

(N.B : If you are a fraudster and criminal on Nairaland,
Skip to the next post or you may not survive reading this)

*HOME TRUTH*

[i]I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff.
Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible.
Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced.
The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.
There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management.
So competent, so honest and so straightforward.
I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.
Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions.
I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff.
The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions.
I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money.
This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit.
We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty.
At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs.
I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business.
So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills,
while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone.
This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria.
They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money.
On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.....
Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.


If the truth wanna kill the online fraudsters and criminals we have on Nairaland,
you guys should better die now.

(You can keep hating honest, and hardworking members on this forum, but some of us will continue to kill you with the truth.)
Only if God doesn't exist.
Thieves, Barawos everywhere.



**********************************


GREED!!!

When we say we are our own problem they start grumbling.....

Okay listen to these examples:

1. You sell chicken and add over 40% profit ,you are happy forgetting that the person that bought the chicken sells tomatoes and pepper.

2. The tomatoes and pepper seller has to recover the excess she paid for the chicken, so she adds her own 42% profit margin.

3. Teacher will come and buy these 2 items with what? She has no other alternative than to increase lesson fees or school fees.

4. You will go and rent house from a landlord who has paid excess for cement, sand, chicken, tomatoes and pepper, lesson fees, how will he meet up if not by increasing his house rent by 60%.

And the circle continues, it is not about dollars, dollars is just an excuse, abi wetin concern garri, beans and yam with dollars.

The problem is you and I and our excessive greed.



Only a fraudster or criminal will be wailing about our above post.
We hope you ain't one of them kiddo?
If so, we understand your weeping about the honest truth.

NA STATISTICS WE GO CHOP?

Tjra:
We shall surely get there Obinna. Just be patient. You can't fix the rot of 63 years in 6 months.

It's not as easy as you think. A little more time bro

The same grammar during Buhari. I think u don count Bihari tenure join as bad administration. Next person go count Tinubu own join. And the list goes on and on. Buhari said PDP ruined the country for 16yrs. This time APC is blaming APC

yinkeys:
Tosin Adarabioyo & Calvin Bassey conceded 3 goals today
Good luck Super Eagles in AFCON
Calvin was a much better player at left back
Strange he moved to centre back
He won’t become world class at that spot
When Iheanacho & Mikels clubs changed their initial breakout positions they never evolved. Players with so much potential never evolve to become world class.
He should’ve stuck with his left back position in my opinion

Because the team conceded 3 goals. I guess Barca and Spain ought to dump Pique after conceding 8 against Bayern

Goodvibes007:
Port Harcourt-Aba-Maiduguri Eastern railway corridor rapidly speeding up....

It will pass through the 5 Eastern capitals of Umuahia, Owerri, Awka, Enugu then Abakaliki and it was conceived and started by the immediate past government led by former President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR and continued by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

Did I see Awka?? Owerri?? This propaganda dey one kind sha. But be that as it may, agenda must agend. I saw what they have done in PHC from the crossing at Woji road through Rumuibekwe to the other crossing at Elelenwo. Make I no talk wetin dey my mind. WTF are we doing with a narrow gauge in this 21st century? Will we use locomotive engines on them??

chrisooblog:
My preferred AFCON 2024 list

NB: In reality final list will probably include 3 unpopular inclusions but this is my fantasy list all things being equal.

GK

Adeleke Adebayo, Stanley Nwabali, Obasogie Amas

Defense

Osayi, Ola Aina, Bruno, Zaidu Sanusi, Ekong, Omeruo, Bassey, Ajayi, Awaziem/Jordan

Midfield

Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka, Aribo, Raphael Onyedika, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Alhassan/Nwakali

Forwards

Osimhen, Boniface, Iheanacho, Moffi, Sadiq Umar, Simon, Chukwueze, Lookman

Facts that will shock me.
1) Goalkeepers without Uzoho included.
2) More than 6MF in the list.
I dont see these happening.

Blueelf:
Hmmm, my brother. I said this before the CAF awards. He won and I was happy for him as a Nigerian but I know Osimhen can't do much for the SE. He may be a king in Naples but in my books, unless he does well for his country, his royalty amounts to nothing

I still rate Yekini above him

Oya, Osimhen online extended family, come and insult me with words I haven't heard before

I will quote from the words of the commentator in AFCON 2013 Nig vs CIV. He said. " Once Mikel plays, Nigeria plays."
Our MF was the engine of that team. And I'll say d same thing. Once our MF plays Osihmen will play. You can take it to d bank. All he needs are just half chances.

komekn:
Some stats are widely available because they are public information and not hidden.

We say in Warri , "Na money kill beta Soup"

It's also said among the British, You get what you pay for.

Many again prefer the delusional fantasy over established facts truths and convention. The best players cost money 🤑 it's simple. Poor players cost less and the poorest get paid very poorly.

Below is the average weekly wage bill €3392 for Chavez FC , the highest paid player is Rúben Ribeiro (Attacking Midfield) at €11,154 per week. Just his salary impact on that average weekly salary significantly.

It means there are players on less than €1k a week in Chávez FC, in a Portuguese premier League team, that tells you something about Chavez as well as the league they play in.🤔

I have compared the average salary of Chavez with Bradford FC an English League two team. Not a team in league one or the Championship, but the lowly English League Two.

Using Bradford City FC as a comparison see below and the difference seems academic, not much difference. That tells you a lot about the quality of the lower percentile of the Portuguese Premier league.

These stats are indicative of the low quality players in the lower half of the Portuguese league. I think that's self evident without being contentious.

Now tell me that Nwakali is an exceptional player, unless you want to be delusional and fantasy led by favouritism.

My bro pls stop this end of year shalaye and shifting of goal post. You are d one shouting upandan that Nwakali is earning less than 2k in chaves. It was u that said that he is among the least paid. But the truth is out that he is in 98th percentile. The story has changed to comparison with Bradford. Dude just collect ur L in peace. Stick to the point. The subject of the matter was Kels is so poor that he is among the least paid in Chavez. Be a man for once and own up.

ChrisKels:
What is Emmanuel Dennis doing in the list ahead of Adams and especially Akpom who can play behind the striker?

Nuff said about Emmanuel Dennis and what his name is doing there in place of Akpom & Adams.
We can see that Pa Sero wants to use 8DF, 7Mf and 9Attackers with 3GKs.
For d GK, like I have said. It's Uzoho, Nwabili and Nwoke. But I won't be surprised seeing Ojo name. This is Nigeria.

Emma Dennis just occupied space.
In the defence. LB. Coach already have Bruno, Aina, sanusi and even Bassey why collins again? That space would have accommodated Igho Ogbu a CB. Even Ebuehi is a makeshift LB. Abi that man no dey think?? We are now filled with gentlemen CB's no ruggedity

Joebie:
That Solace guy likes to sound intelligent by blowing grammar. His word usage is pretty awkward..

To the issue. His position is misleading, stats and eye test wise.

I really don't think that he has watched the young man recently to notice how much he has improved in his defensive aspect of the game. Only his heat map would have helped him. But it is what it is. He is a jorno so he must write something.

Tessyy1701:
It's not juju... The experience is there, plus when he was not invited those that played showed that "Mr Governor" is still needed around the team because they failed to deliver

This one dey somehow. When was d last time Musa kicked a ball. I am not surprised. This is Nigeria.

Damioduso1:
Sporting Lagos goal keeper Nwoke has been included in the super eagles provisional list for Afcon in January with Kelechi Nwakali





Notable absent from the list



1. Leon Balogun
2. Maduake Okoye
3 . kingdom Osayi Doma United
4. Gift Orban
5. Insurance goal keeper
6. Igoh ogbu of Slavia Prague




Players back for contention for a place in the final afcon list



1. Williams Troost Ekong

2 Ahmed Musa


3 . Paul Onauchu

4 . Zaidu Sanusi

The 3GK to Nations Cup.
1) Uzoho
2) Nwabili
3) Nwoke. But I will not be surprised if I see Ojo name. This in Nigeria.

The guy heart no fit carry. But honestly u need a big and stubborn heart in such situation. If you don't want to divorce because of the kids just leave her as one of the ur articles in the house. If u want to Bleep. Use protection and Bleep her like a LovePeddler you paid for. And pls, don't eat from her pot. You go dey alright las las

Amedino99:
Really sad for okoye if true. He has just one appearance this season while uzoho has two in his club career. Make jpes sef do quick make him come dey go hin house.

I don talk am say na Jimbo ori black soap olorunleke dey use.

ChrisKels:
My boy, as usual you make more noise than sense.

The recent round of the Europa league matches; here are the standout players in each position.

Maybe that moniker na bot. Many times he repeats the same thing the same way without thinking. Igoh Ogbu in here and now should be in the 70th percentile when he is classed among CB's in premiership. If not higher.

Icon4s:
Willie Okpara never really had a good goalkeeping career. That world cup was at least a step too high for him.

Someone that was one of the best in PSL then. Don't forget he just won the Champions league with Orlando Pirates in , 95 before the 98 mundial. At that time willy was very good my bro

Icon4s:
Yes, Rufai had to be called back because Abiodun Baruwa that we had hoped upon had a disastrous series of Pre-world cup friendlies. Agbonavbare was not even in the picture as he was already loosing form and gaining serious weight.

Because just like presently they refused to give Willy de Cat Okpara opportunity to stake a claim for d position. Bora multivitamin said that he is short. I wonder if Jorge Campos was a Nigerian what he would have said. Imagine going as far as resurrecting an ancestor that was already holidaying in Spain.

Where is our 50 man list? If I no see Igho Ogbu name there, I go know say true true Pajero no follow.

Igho Ogbu doings. If you are good. You are good. It's a matter of time.

kingphilip:
Una really mean them.

No be only them. Scroll back you go see the Hakimi & Amu-rabat fan boys.

typicalgamer:
How can you win goalkeeper of the year and not make caf first 11

Both male and female goalie this is weird

Weirdness & CAF are Siamese twins

Marjoribanks:
The best club for Osimhen right now is Arsenal! He could win Ballon playing for that team.
They do create loads of chances!
This is the time for him to enjoy his football not struggling for remnants!
Arsenal it is!!

If not RM, Arsenal is another good team presently.

May this dwindling favour me and my family

If Peseiro must call up 6GK. These ought to be in that list.
1) Osayi Kindom
2) Christian Nwoke
3) Bankole
4) Stanley Nwabili
5) Adeleye
6) Uzoho.
That way it will show to everyone who is the better stopper.

Kog45:
What about Arthur Okonkwo

Has he shown interest? I really don't think he has unless I'm not right.
But as it be. In here and now. The GK position of SE is up for grabs if we want to tell ourselves the truth.

Kog45:
Rohr and Agu put us into this messy situation but I thought Peseiro would have done the needful.

He does not have any option than to throw it open and see if he can salvages the situation.It is very easy to know a good keeper but our technical staff are making it so difficult.

Uzoho
Okoye
Adeleye
Nwabili
2 home keepers.

The juju man will squeeze Uzoho name in. He will showcase Nwabili in the tourney. Then carry the third best home based join.

jihday:
what if he’s better than what we have in the NPFL? The GK position isn’t a striker position where you can chop and change as you like, Nwabili has 3 highest save percentage, joint 3rd for clean sheet in a league that’s is by all metric absolutely clear of our own league so putting his call up down to agent work is very very unfair, unless he has a good reason to say that sha

I don't think that anyone is saying that he shouldn't be called up. Rather others who are killing it in NPFL should also be given the same platform to vie for that position. Then the best should be picked. Rather the coaching crew keeps shutting others out from even showcasing their talent.

HeadNigga:
So this solves the problem of "how much will it cost to build a bungalow"
