Just pay our 60m . No wound me with gossip

Leyqute legbegbe the dreamer. No be only £60m, na £400m. You better no push your luck.

swiz123:
I can sense Lavia is so happy with his remote job. I would sell him immediately.

Dr Fofana should go first.

Leyqute:
Delap just disappear for this match.

Rest bros. You go hear from us come season end. Bye!

E get one guy like that, when he wan get into Naija music he didnt even start with Burna or Wizkid that speaks pidgin, Na that Asake gangan wey half of his music na core Yoruba you will see him trying to understand and asking you for the meaning of every word or sentence

Dem go wan use questions wound your life lol

patrickmuf:
I thought you guys signed Essugo?

The Essugo wey I don see so far is more in the mold of Caicedo, not Lavia.

raumdeuter:
Being Naija is becoming "cooler" and dont be shocked when your eldest sisters kids start going for dirty December even Kemis kids will be blasting Burna boy at home and learn pidgin through the internet

I know a Naija friend in UK married to a white lady, He hasnt been to Nigeria in over 20yrs, Barely has anything to do with Naija anymore, lives in a small UK town barely meeting any African but his grown kids are always raving about Burna Boy and wizkid. Dreaming of going to Nigeria. One even said once he gets into college save some money Na to visit Naija

I know kids wey dem born for Yankee never been to Naija but now dem dey wear ankara trousers all over and eat Suya, Amala and abula almost every weekend

I get a few nieces and nephews wey don fully relocate to Naija. This na people wey dem no born or school here sef. Naija na sweet place on a normal day.

With a fit Lavia or a functional DM we don’t need to sign any CB, we’d be fine…..not league winners but a top 4 finish is very feasible, for a league charge I still insist we need our VVD and Allison, or we’re just UCL qualifiers at best

The major issue for me is Lavia staying fit throughout the season, which is almost impossible. Everyone is aware that with a fit Lavia, our chances increase greatly by over 80%. But if it’s just Caicedo and the ghost worker in that midfield, then we’re in for a long ride. I imagine we’re not signing any DM because Maresca has decided that James is the DM that would cover for Lavia when the latter is unavailable. Na siddon look naim remain right now.

TheLequte:
Fenibeso will judge you nwoke

Business is Business bros 😀😀

Amethyst101:
He's gone to Strasbourg on loan, I think...

Omo…lol. We can only hope that Hato comes good now.

TheLequte:
No be fight

I only communicated with Ekpa Diggz in his own language

Calma Calma 😀😀

Bluelines69:
I’ve not heard of him at all, he’s not even been talked about….the club says they might explore their options in the market, if that happens at the expense of their crazy Garnacho chase I’ll be very happy….but I feel even without Colwill we have good cover….cucu is even mostly around that LCB position and I fully trust him

Don’t forget we’ve got Hato, so hopefully….we should be fine.

Bluelines69:
Colwill was full of confidence coming into this season, terrible setback for him…..guess Viega stays then to prove himself against Hato

Where is Sarr?

[quote author=TheLequte post=136377233][/quote]No vex bros….e neva reach vawulence matter. Oya, make una come collect Nkunku with £40million plus Garnacho. At least if £100million dey hard una to drop for a prolific striker, una fit manage Nkunku while we solve una smallie issue in one go. How you take reason am bros?

Leyqute:
E mean say we get the money. Ekpa diggz don dey hawk us Jackson like guguru and epa for Lagos traffic. E sure me say something dey in it for him. And since no one wants to buy your yeye striker, he took matters into his own hands 😀

Una go regret una decision not to buy Jackson for just £100million.

Trevor012:
Your Benz to my 2k. No need for too much talk

Na your ole brother above naim run am lol

Leyqute:
E sure me say ekpa diggz dey behind this heist. The way him body dey thirst after money these days dey somehow

Leyqute:
Joy is coming

After una relegate

Trevor012:
Even if skimple climb mount everest nothing can stop United from flogging Chelsea this season and finishing top 3. Egbon diggz don dey shake already 😂

Top 3,ke? 🤣🤣🤣

Skimpledawg:
Joy no fit come

But, omo, that Baleba na serious player o.

Yea, I like the guy. Just imagine how mad a midfield with Caicedo and Baleba go be. Omo…

iamoyindamola:
If you bring palmer sef we no want

No be only Palmer, na Palmwine. Bring money come for Nkunku ojare.

iamoyindamola:
Why una no fit win am too
Or let's start with beat us first this season

Unlike your yeye club….we go sha win something. Even spuds and palace don abandon una for the land of trophylessness. Una don finally buy better striker so no more excuses. Oga…na when your useless club go win something again?

Skimpledawg:
It's painful

Our star boy o

Abi….sey make dem come collect Nkunku to help dem unlock their attack?

iamoyindamola…how you see the matter?

iamoyindamola:
You get time
They are already writing new script/excuse for the new season
Gyokeres is the reason

Una better win the league with all the plenty players plus world class striker wey una don buy. Failure to win the league this season, na to delete una club from London naim remain.

Skimpledawg:
Bia this man, where is our European winner Molowo Noni mandem niqqa here?

This is a criminal offence Roland

Diggz, this man has a case to answer

Dem no rate Aba Ronaldo at all

Skimpledawg:
Egbon, Man Utd has to relegate this season.

Na the prayer topic for mountain be that o

If dem add Baleba and new keeper……wahala fit dey for that top 4 race this season. Abeg intensify the prayers make Leyqute and Trevor012 no see any joy this coming season.

Skimpledawg:
Omo, make Man Utd no collect this Baleba o, e no go good o

You don suppose submit this request to baba nau. Abi you don descend from the mountain top?

Trevor012:
People wey carrry Gittens, Estevao, Joao Pedro etc as Frontline dey even open mouth talk.

Na here we go dey when the season go finish. Your eyes go clear.

swiz123:
Pedri is better than all our players, not just midfielders. That aside, Enzo needs to make way for a proper DM like Casado while Caicedo goes to CM.

Now, this is a worthy agenda that I can support. I don’t know who your guy is sha. As for me, I want Baleba. Las las, anyone is fine as long as no be the ghost worker.

raumdeuter:
I actually want to believe many of those estates are individuals trying to be sharp and defraud people

You will hear things like its better to buy now that it doesnt have governors consent, once governors consent comes out the price with triple

Land with govt papers are usually sold for a premium, even if you go to the property section of Nairaland you see the arguments regularly, Those with gov consent advertize with it as an added value and some will tell you that you can buy for a lower price and "arrange gov consent"

https://www.nairaland.com/5423359/obtaining-governors-consent-land-mandatory

There are many people enjoying their property without this gov consent, but if na your side them open eye for, then goodluck

Land sale is where you meet some of the most dubious people in Nigeria

@bolded
Na Nigeria don happen to you be that!

iamoyindamola:
The one that claim those estates are illegal

Mscheeeew! My guy, the only thing wey remain for those people now na to pray make God help them, because based on my own personal experience, na ‘sope o ti lo’. Hopefully, their case no go end up the same sha.

iamoyindamola:
Compromise or not
The government must provide people from their side that will take the fall too no be to list estates in lekki and throw panic everywhere

Which government?

Zahra29:
LOL I'm not Yoruba but I have a few Yoruba friends so I've picked up a "lirru" of the language over time 😂

Believe it or not, I'm quite ambivalent about Kemi. I've followed her at a high level since she became an MP in 2017 and I was never a big fan of hers (and the Tory party broadly), although there were certain traits I found admirable and of course I commend her achievement as first black Tory leader.

She is definitely guilty of saying the wrong things sometimes and I don't always defend her - e..g I was 🤐 when she made the comment about not being able to pass on Nigerian citizenship to her kids because her assertion was wrong from what I could see.
There are also comments she's made in the past that I have strongly disagreed with.

However I'm objective enough to recognise that the extreme criticism/hate and even slurs that she faces by some on this forum over pretty much everything she says, is simply because they do not like her - because they believe that she has "denigrated" Nigeria....Which I find quite funny because I really don't think that Kemi is Nigeria's problem. Whatever negative opinion that people may have of Nigeria is not because of what Kemi has said, but from the image that has built up over time e.g.

- PM Cameron publicly (in front of the Queen no less) called Nigeria a "fantastically corrupt" country in 2016 - before Kemi even became an MP.

- circa 2008/2010, the "Nigerian Prince" and "419" association became widely known due to scams being highlighted in the UK media

- the BBC and others have very recently run several documentaries and articles highlighting the prevalence of COS scams in certain communities including Nigeria

So whether Kemi shares her negative lived experiences in Nigeria or chooses to portray Nigeria as an idyllic haven, the British public/world already have their own views - good or bad - and it's not because of Kemi. So in my opinion, all this hate towards her is misplaced and rather pointless.

I agree with most of what you’ve mentioned in your post. However, I’d like to highlight that there’s a reason why the words of someone in power, or anyone who holds a high-ranking position or authority, carry more weight than those of the average person.

Take, for example, a family of five: the father, mother, and children. Naturally, people tend to take the children’s words at face value while giving more consideration to what the parents say, especially the father, or more generally, whoever is perceived as the head of the family. This deference comes from their position of authority within the family structure.

In the same way, people are more critical of Kemi because she is a public figure whose words have far greater reach and influence than those of the average British citizen, British Nigerian, or Nigerian, particularly when it comes to how the world perceives Nigerians. It is only to be expected that people would be highly critical of her, especially in recent times when she has made statements that many feel have thrown the entire nation under the bus.

I could be wrong, but I have yet to see anyone with a similar level of influence take the same stance on their heritage as she has. If you know of anyone, feel free to point them out.

While you’ve referenced PM Cameron’s statements, the “Nigerian Prince” scam, the BBC, and other examples as contributing to the image Nigeria has built over time, the key issue remains this: when someone like Kemi, a Nigerian or British Nigerian in a position of power, repeatedly throws the country under the bus at every opportunity, it does nothing to help the image of Nigeria or Nigerians in the diaspora. It reinforces negative stereotypes and cements the damaging narratives that already exist about Nigeria and Nigerians in general. That is the core grievance many people have with her.

Whatever she is trying to achieve by continually criticising the country (Nigeria), it is definitely going to backfire. In the long run, it will destroy her political career, because no one beyond the people she has persistently targeted will be able to trust her. And that trust is not something she will regain from them, nor from the British public.

You cannot cut off your nose to spite your face, and that is exactly what she has been doing.
