Can we ask that M. Oliver never officiate our games going further? It is a reasonable request at this point.
The outrage is not off the roof simply because we won that game. If we'd lost....

3 more matches for Nigeria without a goal as an Al Nassir player and Victor Boniface's time with the eagles might be over.
He'll most likely get at least 2 more invites and if he scores in any or both, forget it. He'll get invites. I'll love Dessers to be on AFCON team sha.

Education › Re: ASUU Queries Schools Over Students SSCE Performance by daveP(m): 7:09pm On Jan 28, 2025
O ye of slow thinking!

Know ye not that if the foundations be destroyed, even the righteous go siddon dey look?

Why are you guys arriving at this junction of critical thinking in 2025 after over 30years of cries for a change of how things are done?

When Corpers take about 60% of actual teaching duties at their respective PPAs as these schools don't have actual and proper teachers, what then will the standard of teaching be? Yes many pass because the teachers and lecturers prioritize memory based over assimilation based learning aka LA CRAM LA POUR, while teachers are bottom barrel of the payment structure as well, and with outdated curriculums that lack usage of visual learning


E go continue to shock all of you until you say Blessed is He that faces the government and fight for the future of these kids. Till then

Education › Re: Scrabble Vs. Chess: Which Is A Better Board Game For Children's Education? by daveP(m): 12:38am On Jan 28, 2025
Both have immense benefits. But there's a reason why Chess is the game of geniuses and Scrabble still can't be tagged such till now. Kids can have all years ahead to garner the benefits of what scrabble offers, but what chess does to their entire building block can't be fathomed.


Kids, naturally thinking for the now tend to think 2 to 5 steps ahead when playing chess. The game also help build the capacity to see failure different when they lose a game-its not the end of the world as they can win the next one. Thar builds mental capacity to withstand otherwise bad feelings that linger on failure rather than thinking what next.

Schools that start chess games at primary level tend to have way smarter kids than schools without. Ask the Indians

Revenge time vs Tunisia. Let's do them more dirt than the 2006 AFCON pk shootout with dem bouazizi and co.


Afcon mode is different. Only complacency in squad list can be the undoing.

Initial gragra hope is precise. Let's see and pray no prior injuries for key players.

South Africa in that group, no chance.

Arteta, please, Kai needs to be rested, he is burned out, like totally burned out. I am not his biggest fan but, how anyone doesn’t see how you are using him is now border line illegal is surprising.

That man is exhausted and needs a break from games, at least 90 minutes games. This isn’t even about football anymore but the life of one of our player.

Yesterday, if you watched him closely before 90 minutes, he looked like someone about to pass out. He needed the medical staff to help him out after the final whistle yesterday.
I dunno

Both the one he likes and the one he doesn't like or doesn't like like that, he go overuse them. Na overuse make dem Saka, White and Gabu get injury.

Seeing Kai go down on his knees and palm to face as he see that red got me. Man already knows what's next. Fortunately, Cala had other plans.

And seeing him collapse after final whistle...... Totally exhausted.

I love how Atalanta dey manage Lookman for example. Overuse for forward guys don too plenty.

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on what he looks for in a striker, besides the data: "A player can score a lot of goals, great. But I want to know how he reacts if he has a period of 6/7 games without scoring. That's what interests me."

" Watch an interview with a player who hasn't scored for 6 games. Who did he score against, in what context, in the first or second half, only with his right or also with his left and his head, only when the space is open? "

"Does he like contact and is he ready for the physical challenge of this league? This is very important, this is essential information when you consider the time you are going to spend with a player."

BlueRayDick:
I gave u two examples of 2 Brazilians currently in our team who are actually doing well. I didn't just write without facts; I gave u reasons why Edu's decision is not bad and gave u example of such players he has brought-in who have gone on to be successful and importatnt players to our team.

Aside that we see Brazilian players generally doing well playing for European clubs which is the reason why u see them winning more world cups than other countries and also doing well in Ballon D'or/WPOTY history.

Now answer the question: How many Africans have achieved that much? Do u even know bad it is that a single nation like Brazil is doing better than the whole African continent with over 50 countries?

What u call spitting down on African talent is me saying the truth the way it is. Football is more of serious business than emotions. Emotions will not get u anywhere; In the past when we had African players they were always leaving at the crucial stage of the league to represent their team in AFCON due to the awkward timing of the competition.
I don't care if the 2 in the team are currently good or bad or out of form. What i care about is that potentially, oga focused on 6 Brazilians out of every 10 prospects to scout and recommend. 6/10.


6!!

Don't shift the focus to the "oh Brazilians do well than Africans" pov pls. This is not just Africans issue. Other nationals are there too. There are many talents that are better than many in that Brazilian national team currently, not to talk of others.

I'm not here to denounce their talents. Im here to say 6/10 being from one country is highly sentimental and senseless.

Swap nationals and see how outrageous that will be. If he even did 6/10 for Africans, I'll personally criticize that kind of move too. Cos it doesn't make sense. But for now, since he's attached directly, that was a sentimental move for a club that needs several national that deserve a look in.

Emotion is exactly what Edu did. Simple!! So why aren't we looking at Germans since they have World cup glory too? You can't justify this act. This current Brazil team that many are saying standard is low?

It will be totally unfair to try act like we don't even have Africans doing exceptionally well and even better in their roles and are good for any top team in England or Spain right now. Not to talk of other South Americans.

Awkward timing one side. Talented enough to be looked at another side.

Edu overreached.

BlueRayDick:
Pissed keh?

It's no secret that Brazilians are mostly better footballers compared to Africans na. So many talents have been unearthed from that country in the past. If he gets very good defenders from Brazil and they deliver I have no issues with that honestly. Just juxtapose the number of Africans that have won Ballon D'or/WPOTY with that of Brazil and u will see that he's not wrong prioritizing Brazilians over Africans.

In fact let's not go far, look at players like Gabriel who is a Brazilian; see how well he plays for us. How many African CB's play as spirited and talented as he is in the EPL for a top club?

Don't also forget that African players can be a pain in the arse for any coach particularly in January of an AFCON year when they will go for the competition at a time when the EPL is getting interesting and u need all hands to be on deck. We have fallen victim of this as a club in the past.
Did you just spit down on African talents to justify Brazilians? Like seriouslyhuh


Abeg forget that Afcon excuse. It's not enough reason to ever justify what Edu did. Never. The Brazilians he focused on las las, how many don arrive do anything unique like the Chilean, Sanchez? Many Africans are balling. Many European and Asians dey too. South Americans talented than Brazilians dey too. That was too low for such a position to do. Tomorrow, if we get one that suddenly prioritize Africans, it will still be wrong.

I can't believe you wrote a whole paragraph to justify this.

Im pissed to just find out that Edu was doing scouting for Brazilians as though Arsenal was Brazil FC. He did lots of ground work towards recruiting and 60% of this project was on brazilians? undecided undecided undecided


60%

Wow. That's insane. Guy didn't even look to Africans once😂😂😂😂
