Great hosts but terrible sportsmen.

They leaked their withdrawal from hosting the WAFCON thinking it'd put CAF in a tight spot but when they heard SA was ready to step in, they backtracked that they had not withdrawn officially.

Another reason they didn't withdraw is because this AFCON will serve as the qualifiers for the world cup, and they stand a better chance of qualifying as host.

Motsepe too feels beholden to them and that's the reason he didn't strip them of the hosting rights.

If na another country dey pull this Morocco stunts, and SA dey standby, hin for don strip them since.

Anyhow sha, make CAF and Morocco get their acts together. The WAFCON must hold this year.

Mission XI is loading
I wish we were n standby for hosting. We for show them say no be by just stadium. But country hard right now. Lol.

Na Motsepe i blame sha. Man thought he's played a joker card with Moroccans and milked it bad. Now they want to push leverage without thinking of their card or the card of other players at the table. Kenny Roger's The Gambler comes to mind. 😂😂😂

you never count your money
When ya sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting
When the dealing's done

Travel › Re: Traffic Offences And Their Penalties Under Nigerian Law by daveP(m): 3:30pm On Feb 28
2 or 3 things to note


We know the nature of the Lagosians, for example. It is a good sample for all

The roads themselves are terribly planned and do not seem to take both the population of Public Transport units and the swarm of pedestrians mobing to and fro daily.


This alone leads to some conundrum and chaos, say if all are sane. It will still be chaotic.

But you now have crazy and mentally disturbed drivers, conductors, private car owners, plying the roads daily.

They have no fear of any law enforcement to be cautious. They don't have the rules at heart due to many factors from the past. They drive anyhow, overtake anyhow and brake anyhow.


Then there are the Law Enforcement guys. None of the currency notes that wet their palms and wet their pockets are never ever ever remitted to any of their offices to be used to do anything tangible for themselves as a collective or to do some great piblic awareness program with Nurtw and Rtean bodies. Just Abled Beggars in Uniforms. Making as large as 50k under 7hrs at most. That's already more than their salaries if they do it for just a day or two. DG dey waste time cos Law enforcement na dem need the law pass before the people.

Market and stalls, umbrellas encroaching the road is a problem too. Nobody sat down to factor all these behaviors when planning major road points and convergence.


And then there's the ones that target Gen Z to transfer as much as 1m from 1 yahoo boy or a crypto pal.

Add the "know someone that knows someone that has someone" that can override the laws of this country, ANYWHERE ANYTIME, and it sums it all up


Some offences should bear down on the lawbreakers. A digital system will help. Capture a culprit, upload to central system. If plates pop up several places, jail time. Increase the fine for those under the influence. Let them get breathalyser and any tool to aid.


But na Naija we dey. Until the Centre holds, symptoms will continue to persists with any half measures in place

Favorable draw for Arsenal
6 EPL teams.
2 guaranteed exit immediately save a miracle
Nigerian duo definitely going to get a combined 8G/A in R16 vs Liverpool and Spurs
Barca should take this but Howe knows they well already.
Reunion for Kai.


Arsenal has no excuse for both the UCL and EPL fixtures going forward. Let those that blaze in UCL be prioritised for it. Norgaard must play at least 40mins vs Bayer. Rice needs to start getting rest more often


Easier epl last 10 fixtures with only 2 top 6 fixtures left
And now easier route to UCL.
I know we look loaded but this is why we needed a January buy for moments like this. 4 cups and we in all of em. Marli, Max, and (Nwaneri would have been a sweet addition) are needed.

BascoVanVeli:
Let's try to pay them consistently first.
We are on same page for this. The foundation doesn't seem eager to set a template that erases all these brouhaha and embarrassing owing of salaries. An annual budget for such should have a benchmark with fees already on ground rather than the running upandan to source for funds, and if released, yad yada paperwork or one intermediary is stalling or doing something funny and expecting silence in return.

2m as benchmark for both teams annual salary for coaches is okay. Even 1m is. Yet we want to pretend like its 100m. See how they made the Waldrum, Rohr, and JPes situation seem like it was all higher than what Emma Hayes earns annually. Smh.

Roughly 600k/annum for Chelle and roughly 120k/annum when Randy was around. Barely 1m for the two National teams.


We need to do better overall.

And if the Nff is serious about our football, worldcuo or not, they should go with Chelle plan,
This is the right time to start preparing and building for the future with that well laid out plan by Chelle
His plan is sweet. With a great midfield he supposed cook for WC.

By now, im expecting to see a player that can deputize Iwobi whether we win the appeal or not. The Onazi situation is why I'll continue to prioritise deputies for key positions in our best XI.

FIFA give verdict ke this is month ending next month by march is playoff nothing is on Fifa website if you check the Disciplinary meeting and ourcom section on FIFA website up till to this month
That's why i feel the coaching issue is dependent on that outcome. If we lose the appeal, Chelle will likely be let off. Who knows.

Low-key, i feel the Chelle situation with NFF is dependent on FIFA verdict for this DRC issue. If we replace DRC Congo, Chelle might be retained or flinged for a foreign manager or anyhow gbasgbos based on feelings.

🎙Viktor Gyökeres says Arsenal had a brutally honest team meeting before the North London Derby win....

🗣 “Most of us spoke. It is important to sometimes say what you feel. And to let it out in the group.

“Everyone recognises how different people feel in the moment, and you get a better understanding of the feeling. I think when you speak openly in the group like that, you come closer together. It is very important to do that sometimes.”

🎙Gyökeres admitted the talks got heated, but said it was crucial for the team to move forward stronger.....

🗣 “Yeah, of course. That’s what you have to do. If you’re not honest, it’s hard to improve. That is the most important way to be. Especially in the team. I think it was a good chat.”

“I think it’s always going to be difficult when you get those results, but it’s how you handle it and how you respond to it. Today we showed we did it on a good day.”

If no be say person experience am, people don forget say Ramsdale unbelievable saves vs Top 6 clubs even stunned rival fans that year. Sadly he fell off. I'd dare say one big difference between Rams and Raya after conceded a hilarious goal is their facial expressions 😂😂😂😂
Raya hides it better than Rams.

The one touches and tiny passes between Gyok and Eze inside or near the box yesterday is something Ozil would so love. Just watched a compilation and between these two, it happened 7 times, opening up big chances, freezing defenders and opening space for an unmarked teammate(trossard and Saka, they didn't capitalize though)
The one touch 1_2 was sleek. Someone mockef that thats the most progressive non Saka pass Odegaard made all season. Chai. Odegaard attacking instincts is in coma state. If he wakes up one day, even Eze creativity no fit near am. But for now, this sync between Eze and Gyok, i pray Arteta doesn't interrupt it sha. I pray.

Him go do blunder wey go make you want kill him, but you can’t because you know he is good normally. To further frustrate you, him go do another World class save the next match totally erasing whatever anger you had for him initially.

Baba sabi gaslight people well well. 🤣😂
Ramsdale was like that at some point too. But MA vex gaaan. Got so bad the guy went to goof mode permanently. Lol. Raya needs to work on not allowing that Wolves Bueno moment to repeat itself. It was annoying.

Create chances for him, watch him score more if he is not feeding on scrap
I rest my case
My MOTM
It's simple as ABC. I noticed he started on the LW and then got more central then back to LW zone. The link up play with Eze was cool. He was in many open spaces for this game to end 7-1 but Trossard, Eze and Saka went for glory instead in all 3 instances. He even defended when Spurs went for a fast counter and only Gabi and Timber were the last 2. 👏🏾

I hope it continues with Chelsea.

bro between Gyokeres and Sesko who have been better this season. Aside from goals which Sesko is two below Gyokeres, he(Sesko) is better in every other department, with less minutes played. More shots on taken, more shots on target, more touches in games, more shooting accuracy more assist.
We're a much better team than utd and yet our striker who was signed "because we need someone to help us win the league and not someone to grow with us" isn't exactly far off better than the same person half the fan base criticised the coach for initially going for.
To be honest ehh, I always laugh and find it funny when I see you guys defending Gyokeres for the same thing you criticised Havertz for.

Would love to see the trio of Rinsola Babajide, Esther Okoronkwo and Rasheedat Ajibade upfront..

But again Esther Okoronkwo isn’t a Traditional "Target Woman/Poacher", she plays like a false 9 and those forwards who love to involve in play, drift wide and make things happen instead of doing the main job of scoring goals..

One reason I’m clamoring for a typical no.9 and I don’t think Joy Omewa who’s that type is a starter yet..
How about Ajibade/Esther and Ihezuo rotating the 9 during a live game?

I dunno how Madugu go wan do his midfield now that his fave is back on board. Who gets dropped? Or will he continue with the usual and just use her as a sub?
