The Nigerian polithiefcian has setup the political terrain to be a crowdfunding, Elite-depending society. Why is he acting surprised that status quo remains? How much is 3k that he can't give? After all, that's what voters get at the polls

I have watched EPL long enough to know the scores can be overturned . During the days of Van Persie at Man utd , I think it was 2013 or there abouts; West Brom Man Utd’s 5-2 lead to end the match 5-5.

If west brom can overturn a 3 goal deficit , who told u a dead but not out man city led by Guardiola can’t do same if we don’t apply caution ?

Coach wey tell the players to Dey recycle pass between midfield and our defence is not a dunce .
Lol. You're kidding abi. We were with 80% possession from 85th to 92nd. There's virtually no way a lifeless city with terrible midfielders in that game was going to do a comeback after 4-1 under 6minutes.

This one you're emphasizing is just projection. See how City were defending like amateurs too? If they got a 2nd, We would have gotten one barely 48seconds later.


Simple!! They were not eager to bite after the 4th goal.
Kdb did nothing significant either.
Politics › Re: Marketers May Dump NNPCL As Price War With Dangote Rages by daveP(m): 10:09am On Feb 05, 2025
Dangote is playing the saint card and people will be happy cos it looks like he reps their interests, which isn't a lie.


These greedy marketers had all decade long to play this Dangote role but they're so myopic and greedy that all they reason about is fat pockets.


Nobody loves a monopolist. But if one of them had done this years ago, dangote will have stiffer competition today. But he just arrived the scene and is King already.

Do i really blame him? A little

The clowns called marketers don't think beyond their noses really.

They'll rather die on standing on existing protocols rather than direct all zeal and energy through passionately serving and repping those that got them there. It then moves to luciferian pride and they get more disconnected from the realities of their people. They serve self interest despite knowing the ordeals of their people. They grow fat and wax in arrogance, doing all to attain immortality in the white edifice and take steps further up the pyramid.



They mostly think roads and bridges are what their people need.

They don't make any worthwhile decisions on healthcare and education that can be sustainable for a decade. Especially that healthcare. They made half hearted plans for agriculture because they don't believe they can build an empire there despite the lands available naturally.


"Do you want us to protect you?". Rings like an echo through the milky way galaxy that solidifies what these guys are among themselves.


If justice can't be served there, then redemption is far from them in all sincerity. Greed rules..

We have Cerseis and Daenerys in that chamber
We have Stannis Baratheons and Tywins there.
We don't even have a Jon Snow or Lady Olenna.
There's no Lord Baelish and Varys cos they really aren't that smart actually.

Education › Re: Somewhere In A Nigerian University, A Lecturer Teaches With His 1980s Notes by daveP(m): 11:27pm On Feb 04, 2025
In a stat class, my cousin noticed the class was equipped with screen, inverters and tools to make lecturing easier for everyone in that lecture room. But dust was gathering on them all. He had to get smart and go to the school chaplain to use his influence to persuade the HOD to start using those equipments in tutoring students. It has been gathering dust for 7years.

The week they started using it, the stat lecturers were shocked the students were helping in setting it up. They did the job they would have paid one guy 50k for.


Learning got easy and 2 of the lecturers used it efficiently as they could use computers and programs efficiently already. Students passed.


These are the issues.

Fuel caused tfare to increase.
Now watch tolls makes it increase even further

This is what online trolls and keypad warriors are defending? Making life more unbearable for the already impoverished citizen that thinks mostly about what to eat 24/7?

That's why you grumble.

You are just yarimo of the other side.

As for me, whoever is in power, road must be tolled..it's what sensible countries do

And if you are worried about corruption, do something about it or keep quiet
I haven't even insulted you and you have gone all full flair. Oh my!! Is it that hard to have a dialogue without insults on matters one is allowed to have different views on?

Its so easy that your stance is the do something or remain silent one because that's anti-democracy. I guess you already know that.

Sad you took this dark, easy route.

How convenient!!!

Stop talking nonsense, abeg.

You don't need streetlight on a highway.

Better not be arguing because you want to complain.

Nigerians always grumble. Sometimes it is necessary under this tpain economy, but sometimes it isn't necessary.

You want good road, and you want it to be funded by magic
Taxpayers funds nko? Not enough? Bill every vehicle and end up with 40% of the road done after collecting 300% of needed funds for such roads to be fully loaded and completed?

Sad that founding new universities seem to be the one ambition that makes some state administrators and trad rulers feel like they've arrived or achieved something. All keep clamoring for universities being established and "we'll take it from there"


How did we even get here really?

If you are still ignorant of the dynamics of these things, and can't dialogue without insults, refrain from quoting.

If this is some effort at painting with a Picasso brush, then the final artwork is worse than the endwork of a kindergarten kid that is more excited at wasting the water colors than doing something meaningful with it.

Skelly on the pitch made Rice advanced up up. I love the vision for that Ethan pass from Rice. I want that to become a norm. No need for that extra 3 ground passes abeg.


N 5-1?

Chaiiiiii.

15 games to glory

Never make Partey play RB again. He's so key and unburdens Rice and Odegaard. Plus you now have a MLS that's making even Rice and Odegaard to go farther up the pitch in anticipation of his runs or sharp long and precise passes down the centre after Partey has drawn away a shirt or two.


I pray we get one more season with him where the entire team is not on some makeshift mode.

Partey changed the game. Skelly ended the chase. Ethan said hold up, im here too. And Sterling as usual, eager to rub the head of goalscorers


No wonder MLS did that

Rice has come alive cool

Kai can't just learn from his teammates that score goals. Inside the box is not where you go dey contemplate. It is a shooting zone. Just shoot. Sweet goal from MLS. More big game goals for the kid abeg.


MA say he wan buy defenders, MLS say dey play. He has alot to upgrade on sha. But decisiveness is not a weakness for him any day. One the most accurate direct players at our backline in a long long while
