Upping the Reds

Your rival eyes have blinded you to know that Klopp was just stating a fact with subtlety. The fact that ''chelsea has deeper financial pocket than Liverpool". Klopp wasn't against Chelsea's spending, he was just saying Liverpool cannot behave like Chelsea because Liverpool don't have the flow of cash like their counterpart.


Liverpool sold Lovren and Hoever for £19m. Agreed Thiago deal £22m plus add ons, to be paid £4m over a 5 year-period. Then bought Jota for £35. They are carefully selected businesses

YNWA. Even with Thiago, I still don't think we'll retain the title. Apart from other teams spending really well this summer to catch up, Liverpool have performed outstandingly for 2 years in the league amassing 97 and 99 points respectively. It will be hard to maintain that level for a 3rd season.

Bring Back The Ultimate Search

In 2020. Already thinking about 2023 election. It says just one thing 'greed'. No one from the 3 geopolitical zone will assume the presidency and affairs in Nigeria will change for the better. 'all na same same' . The only solution for this country is to split up either amicably or un-amicably. If you are Igbo and you are calling Yorubas slave to the Northerners then you are just dumb cos you have failed to see that the Yorubas are the pin holding the country together.

Igboid:
Lol! "my wife is Igbo" the man said.
Who asked him?
Some Nazis also had Jewish wives/gfs. Gowon had an Igbo gf during the war.
What does his wife being Igbo have to do with anything if not because he is trying to hide behind that to exhibit his Igbophobia hoping not to be attacked by Igbos or any neutral person, because his wife is Igbo

Like the Normal White racist that will start with " I have black friends but... " and goes on to make his racist comments.

Mr man, you just parroted what other Igbophobes do. Own it with your full chest, nothing will happen and stop hiding behind your poor Igbo wife who I pity for marrying someone like you who harbour such sinister sentiments for her people, who knows what that poor woman has been undergoing under your roof.

He mentioned that to tell u he has nothing against Igbos

They are still trying all their best in making sure these kids sit at home for a year.

athaboi:
She's correct

No she's not entirely correct because Mr Chadwick kept his ailment private from the media. How else can we then know that this great man suffers from cancer. We all would have sent out our support and prayers

Oyo state was the first to declare school reopening. It's Lagos state that followed suit

Lucky637:
So finally they're tired. Anyways its a good one by Lagos state government at least other states can follow suit.

I'm not understanding myself

AmazingELixir:



I'm not understanding why are they decontaminating schools that nobody has been to in months..?

Thought they said the Corona virus can only survive some few days outside a host.

In 2018. Liverpool got to the final in 2018 b4 winning it in '19

SirMichael1:
lol. You must have said something similar about liverpool after we got to the ucl final in 2017, something like 'we'll never reach the final next year and in a long time'. Well... We came back next year and won.

Do not underestimate liverpool.

We are Liverpool lalala we are Livepool lalalaala...YNWA. No 19

You just came here and throw abstract suggestions without any concrete way to go about it. What other possible ways can they pay teachers?

DesChyko:
I'm a private school teacher. And I think your analysis above is flawed. This certainly doesn't work for most private schools in Nigeria. At least, not for where I work. Since most private schools are patronized by families that live on somewhere below the middle class income range, I think I have a pretty good idea how they make their payments.

Some parents pay early on. Some pay after the first fee drive. Some pay in parts when they get salaries. Some pay whenever those sponsoring the child's education send the money. Some wait until exam time to pay. And some will still not pay that term. And the school will still consider some pleas too. So 96% is a really unrealistic number. I'ld go with 50% at most.

What you should insist on instead is the school management seeking other possible ways to ensure their staff get paid.

It is only that medicine that you said that is now lucrative in Nigeria along with pharmacy, nursing. The rest you'd have to go the hard way to make it

Louisananda7:
The real situation is that no course is lucrative again in Nigeria, even medicine

This will only work if there's cheap access to wi-fi in the country

No you are not a Liverpool fan if you are wondering how we won the league. If you think Liverpool has to play beautiful every game then you don't know what football is

Babysho:
I'm a Liverpool fan and I often wonder how we won the championship league. The players show zero class sometimes.

They keep saying "when it is safe to do so". There would never be a time when it is safe to do so until a vaccine is being made. Everything can't stand still until then. We should be laying down strict measures to curtail the spread while people go on about their lives. The number of cases will continue to be on the up due to the country's initial carelessness about the virus and the dilapidated state of medical facilities. If the numbers dramatically go down in Nigeria without improved facilities, adequate number of testings or a vaccine, it means all those numbers NCDC were feeding us would be plain hoax.

That's not even knowing exactly when the Vaccine will be ready in 2021. Could be April, June, only God knows

SirWarlock:
Once again another good write up from you. Wish nairaland had better emojis

So it's save to say this country don't plan to let school resume again this year. Like 2021 a miracle will happen between January and February. Ok

So that next year now, coronavirus will miraculously vanish?

Mars16:
Nice one from the ministry,how do you expect students and schools to prepare in less than a month with schools being shut for 3 months plus. if not for the sake of the teachers I would say they should resume schools next year just like Kenya.

So two sets will write next year WAEC. Simply putting measures in place for these kids to write their exams is so difficult for this government. What are they doing differently in South Africa that has more cases and their schs are back to full flow. They will rather play with these kids life than putting in place good measures to move forward. They should know it will never be safe enough until a vaccine is made. When is that going to be?

When it was black lives matter movement you didn't speak this much English o

Robisky001:
This is very serious. If this were to be Nigeria I'd have damn the consequences of such actions since our own version of COVID 19 is African version which is less rootless. But no, this is the UK where they have the first grade of COVID 19 virus and they are defying social distance guidelines just to celebrate winning the league after 30 years of barrenes at the detriment of their lives.

Please what do you need to get in place before deciding to take GRE?

That is a very harsh assessment from you. You don't know what some people have gone through in their life. Lazy graduate? When did you turn to Buhari. I am sure you are one of the people that frowned at him calling Nigerian youths lazy, yet here you are. Maybe you are ignorant to the fact that we are in Nigeria, a country grossly overwhelmed with dearth of jobs. I don't think a graduate will take up teaching job if there are so many lucrative opportunities out there and I'm definitely sure once a better offer comes to any teaching graduate be it in private or public sch he/she will jump at it. I don't think anybody is comfortable with any job that is underpaying let alone a graduate. Learn how to pass your message across nxt time with a little bit pragmatism. quote author=coputa post=89752851] It,s only a lazy graduate that teaches in a private school,Do you kow that a pure water hawker in the street earns more than a average private school teacher.Take the bull by the horn and be resourseful.[/quote]

And I earn far less

TheSeeker777:
If you EARN #50,000 naira as salary in Nigeria ��, here are some breakdown

Daily (28 days) = 1785 naira

Per Hour (8am - 4pm ) = 223 naira

Depending on the nature of the job, Ur 1 hour is only worth coke and gala

It's not normal you're asking this question

You're eproctophilic

Lazy people attacking government for relaxing lockdown, you think lockdown will eradicate this virus completely?. It can only bring about reduction in numbers of victims. I think a month is enough for that purpose to be achieved. Only a cure or a vaccine will eliminate the accruing numbers of covid 19 new cases. The world cannot afford to stand still till then. If you want to remain in your house for the rest of the year, do so. If you want to go out and hustle while taking necessary measures to stay safe. Kudos!

The Box Office Record of Avengers: Endgame Might Never Be Broken

Avengers: Endgame became the highest-grossing movie of all time and ended up grossing $2.8 Billion worldwide. At one point it seemed that the film will cross the $3 Billion mark, but because everyone had already seen the film in a hurry & then had their repeated viewings as well, the earnings dropped significantly and Avengers: Endgame crawled its way up to $2.8 Billion after a rerelease. This was enough to become the number one movie and beat James Cameron’s Avatar. But keeping in mind the current situation and the coming future, no other film will ever be able to make this big of a number at the Box Office, and there are various reasons for that. Let’s look into those:


1. The Coronavirus

COVID-19 isn’t just killing real people but it is also killing artificial people/business entities. Life won’t just go back to Normal once we fully emerge from the Coronavirus since many businesses are going to shut down and preventive measures and it is going to take a really long time for the surviving businesses to return to glory. Due to the Coronavirus, theatre chains are out of business of now. never has the Box Office dropped to 0 in the last 20-25 years.

Once the Coronavirus will end it could be possible that most theatre chains might remain closed permanently. If that happens, then the number of theatres showing films will be lesser. In order to take precautions, there will be less number of people who will be willing to go out to the movie theatres and watch films. All in all, the less number of people and the less number of theatres gives us surety that Avengers: Endgame will not be beaten. When Endgame came out, theatre chains ran for almost 24 hours, increasing the number of screenings to accommodate people. That cannot happen at least for the next 10 years.



The Hype...

Avengers: Endgame raised a massive hype over 10 years. People go so attached to characters like Iron Man, Thor & Captain America because they got to spend trilogies & several crossovers with these characters. The hype got so much because these characters also set the basis for other characters to join them. And now, they’ve left the MCU with several other characters. We do like characters like Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel or Spider-Man, but we do not like them to the level of Iron Man or Captain America. And with Marvel introducing even more new characters, the screen time for each character will get substantially less, and the sequels will take a lot of time to get made.

Since there are so many projects now, getting those done & converging them into an Avengers crossover event would become very difficult. As opposed to an Avengers film coming out every 3 years, it will now take Marvel at least 5 between 2 Avengers films now. So, no other Marvel movie could raise enough hype. Also because there are tons of superhero movies & other big budget movies that will arrive every year, the hype for one particular film could never be built up to the level of Endgame.

This was just the Marvel films we were talking about. But we’re saying that no other franchise could ever raise the hype enough that a film would end up making $2.8 Billion. Most franchises that we know are coming to an end. Fast & Furious 10 will mark the end of the core franchise. Jurassic World isn’t as big. DC will never be as big due to the failure of their “connected shared Universe”. Star Wars has already peaked at the theatres with The Force Awakens, and surely doesn’t carry the same value especially after the way Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ended.

Avatar might actually stand a chance to be the one to raise a massive hype for the franchise, but it certainly won’t happen right from Avatar 2. People saw Avatar back in 2009. They aren’t going to relate to Avatar unless it is extremely good. To get even remotely closer to its former glory, the next 3 upcoming Avatar films will have to be so good that people are forced to run to the theatres like they were during Endgame. But then again, there would still be the logistical problem of the number of screenings in a particular region.

Streaming Services

With Netflix, Prime & Disney+, most studios are deploying resources onto the streaming services. There are 2 other big name streaming services that are about to hit the market – HBO Max & NBC Universal’s streaming service. So, the growth in original content on the streaming services is exponential. People are actually impressed with the “theatrical movie level” content that is available on the streaming services. So, they are actually motivated to watch the content they’ve subscribed for, rather than going to the theatres to watch films every other weekend. The growth of the streaming services will ultimately lead to a loss of business for movies at the theatres. It won’t be a massive loss, but this loss will be enough to prevent any film from ever breaking the record of Avengers: Endgame.
