Maresca wants 23 players which includes 8 to 9 attackers. It's not possible with 8 attackers and enough defenders would close to 27players

Bin Dr. Fofana. This one has been a proper liability from day one. Dude has played a total of 39 games across all competitions since joining us back in 2022/23. No chance he’s staying fit anytime soon. Bin it!


Las las…..Ireti is a problem sha!

iamoyindamola:
I think he's just joking abeg
Ibime na those butty way they try form say them they street
He wan they drag you way they stay obalende underbridge that year with your inlaw onukuguy

Nothing consign me inside him dry jokes. You no be raumdeuter, no dey try renovate him intentions. See one of him numerous dry jokes below:

Ibime:
Mompha already snitching!

Naija criminals have no code mehn.

Diggz, sort yourself out.

Abeg just die the matter! When him dey ready him go let me know the issue him get with me.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly
Imagine blaming people for his predicament 🤣🤣

Naim way na….e no surprise me because no be today. Shebi…you dey always accuse me of being hot tempered….e don reach 4 years or more wey him dey do this type thing, but as soon as I take issue with am….e go be say I dey always quick vex.

Ibime:


Na small pull we dey pull your leg boss

If you check well, bomblacks made his ChatGPT comment directly under your post, and your method of communication has changed from street to formal, no be say you no sabi formal before

You are a child! You too dey zuzu like market woman with porous mouth. Even with this platform being text based and giving you extra time to reason things through, you still no fit help yourself from your usual cho cho cho.

To make things worse, you can’t even own your 4keries when challenged. You would rather hide behind emojis/play or drag someone else into it….smh.

To be honest, I’ve thought of several juuuicy words to describe your personality. But with the way spambots dey move these days, there’s no way I go escape a ban. So you’re actually in luck.

By the way, nah who make you accuse me of being a yahoo boy that year? Just so you know, you’ve been moving mad around me for too long now. I just hope one of these days, you’ll be man enough to air whatever issue you have with me.

It really doesn’t matter where he made the comment as long as he didn’t quote me directly. But you’re too steeeewpid to know or understand that. So of course, you had to descend into some 4kery while hiding behind the British way of passive aggression.

Naaah…..you be pikin bro!

BlueRayDick:
Wait fess!

So, if I wake tomorrow and decide to start typing in proper English instead of pidgin and code mixing ( most especially substituting "U" and "UR" for "YOU" and "YOUR" respectively); people will assume it is ChatGPT assisted and me typing it? 🤷‍♂️

I used to think it is common knowledge that most people prefer to type in less formal way online simply because they feel comfortable doing so, not necessarily because they can't.

Allow it. Ibime dey zuzu well well. Sometimes e go lose guard like smallie.

Ibime:
Which exam dey last from January to July

Meanwhile e be like say dem dey accuse you of using ChatGPT. The way you switched from Waffi slang to Queens English in the last couple of months, there may be some legs to the allegations

Yes na, I be illiterate wey never enter classroom before, so na wetin you expect? Na borrow I borrow queens English from ChatGPT, I no log off my brains put inside like some other people. Is there a crime committed here olokpa, Ibime?

Ibime:
Continue my guy

If you don't use a skill you will lose it

After over a decade and half of working mostly with numbers and headlines and writing short phrases on Nairaland mostly in Nigerian colloquialism, I struggle to write freely and words don't come to me as well as they did 15 years ago. Thank God for ChatGPT and AI, to write anything more than a few bullet points on a subject dey hard me these days. I used to be a very good writer over a decade ago.

BlewMahn:
Dem wan take my life

😂😂😂

swiz123:
More than enough. Need I add that I pay a lot in levies too.

Ok

TemporaryHansel:
It’s not that we hate taxes — we hate watching our money disappear into the bloated pockets of thieving politicians. I don’t pay because in Nigeria, taxes don’t build roads or fund education; they bankroll private jets, champagne parties, and side chicks. So what’s the point?

Look at Akpabio running his mouth like a clown on a payroll — and we’re supposed to fund that circus? Hell no.

People don’t mind paying tax when it builds something. But here? It’s like donating to a cartel and expecting development in return. Utter madness.

Ok

swiz123:
Everyone pays taxes whether directly or indirectly. All I am saying is that I have paid more than enough through indirect taxation. Even elder earning in crypto pays his through indirect taxation. Simply by purchasing more than the poor, I have effectively paid more tax than they do.
I am no reflection of any thief in power as my life has been built on integrity and accountability which is why a lot of people trust me.

Try sending a shipment of goods from one state to another and you will have serious disgust for all our security outfits. These are same people I am expected to be happy to contribute toward their salary.

How much do you think you pay in indirect taxes each month/year?

TemporaryHansel:
Make we pay for others to benefit when we no dey benefit from am?

You wey wan do giveaway with BTC for here the last time. Shey na money wey you go pay to help the poor for the society naim wan kee you? Abi yam private school you attend from primary school to university or you wan claim say you never use general hospital before?

Ibime:
Where is itsrm

I thought the guy mentioned that he was prepping for exams the last time.

Ibime:
I pity who carried Simi matter for head, from the way the guy is licking vomit just to have 2 more years with his snout in the public trough

Finally, Itrsm and Wike had the last laugh.

Unlimited22:
E just dey collect left and right

The bot dey do like say e dey possessed lol

raumdeuter:
Na small small una dey encourage insubordination and threat to my post

😂😂😂

swiz123:
Spare me of any preaching bro.

The whole point of taxation is to contribute a fair share toward government expenditure, and I have paid more than enough through indirect taxes. The government can’t preach about proper taxation when they haven’t shown any atom of good faith.

Public schools and hospitals? Really? Most public schools serves as public toilets where boys go to answer natures call, don’t let the metropolis you live deceive you.

Public hospitals where people die waiting to be attended to? Even after they are attended to after ages, recommended meds or even tests are still unaffordable. Don’t get me started on the mayhem GOP doctors cause, dishing out meds for things they have no idea about.

Those infrastructures you sited are financed through aggressive borrowing which are heavily serviced and in turn cause a strain on our FX reserves. When the naira dips, me the tax payer suffer the most while those who collect these taxes had looted half of borrowed funds.

Civil servants that you literally have to still bribe so they can attend to you?

Police that are known more for extortion than providing security??

Doctors that one barely have access to? Try go to a public hospital Diggz and see if you will see the doctor even after spending 8 hours there.

I pay separately to finance my own security in my estate, so??

Where is the clean water these tax collectors provide ?? Ridiculous!!

Enough said, I have contributed my fair share through indirect taxes and paying that income tax is part of the reason I quit salary job.

I’m fully aware that most public services, infrastructure and institutions are broken. I even referenced that in my previous post. There’s a reason I pointed out that not everyone who pays tax actually benefits from it, especially in a place like Naija.

However, if you went through the public system from primary school to university, like most people here probably did, and now that you’re earning, you’re refusing to contribute to that same system just because “every penny can’t be accounted for”,then honestly, e no make sense.

Just so you know, you’re denying the extremely poor a fair shot at education, healthcare, and other basic services whether directly or indirectly, no matter how bad the system may seem to you.

By the way, I’m only asking you to remember that poor people in society still need that general hospital you call rubbish, or the same public school that you may never have to send your own children, nieces or nephews to. Blueray already touched on the importance of the policemen we all love to hate, so I won’t bother going there again.

Not everything must benefit you and your family directly before you remember that others need it too. If everybody decide not to pay one kobo of tax like you, na only God sabi wetin go remain for this country.

Las las sha..make you do you, but no come here come complain about your leaders oooo….because them be a reflection of you and I.

raumdeuter:
Hope my position is not being threatened

Na you be the head of agbadorians egbon 😂

afrodoc:
I kuku love cornflakes.

Speaking of, most of these oyinbo cornflakes are either too sweet or too bland. I miss my old Nestle cornflakes with the right balance.

Cornflakes ke. So, you still dey chop cornflakes? Ayama lol

afrodoc:
Yeah that is the way the story goes. People can sometimes be very intolerant of other people’s opinions and it is worst amongst the Obi.diot cult.

Just so you know, you’ve officially been confirmed as an agbadorian, lol.

Blue man sorry oooo lol

afrodoc:
Hehehe. Obi don become god wey we no fit criticise. Daddy G.O of Obi.diot movement.

Belief in messiahs no go kill Nigerians. That is why church members will see one slick trickster who is fleecing them and they will be calling him “daddy“.

Tbh…I’ve noticed that most people on here see everything in black and white…..youre either with them or against them. No space for grey area or common sense again. According to bad man Shank….na so the thing goes.

afrodoc:
There is no mask bro. I was the first person to label Obi a snake oil salesman here and I still think he is a 419 saviour. If you don’t like it you can do the needful.

I am not one that believes in political messiahs. You people attack anyone that criticises Obi in any way. I said he didn’t act with tact even though I also agreed that he had reason to be angry and suspicious but you ignored my first statement and latched unto the 2nd statement like someone holding on to a parachute for dear life.

Obi is far from perfect and can be criticised. Stop trying to bully people into your cult.

Wicked agbadorian abroadian 😂

swiz123:
Carry on brother!! 99 percent of Nigerians are hypocrites who only condemn things they don’t benefit from. Almost everyone hates paying personal incomes taxes and if an opportunity presents itself, they will evade and also avoid paying them by any means possible.

Who will listen to Akpabio’s statement of “they should continue protesting while we continue eating” and go yes!! I want to hand over my taxes to such a system. Only restraint is keeping me from saying that every single individual in Nigeria pay personal income taxes unwillingly.

Most of the things that we buy in this country have already been taxed with some being taxed heavily. Considering the poor services we get from these people, I already consider such indirect taxes an unfair contribution from my part.

Same Nigeria that touts levy bikemen heavily just so they could carry passengers and suffer on death traps called roads. Same bike man will pass that tout’s levy to you while you climb his bike and the bad roads will shake your whole intestine. Heavily pregnant women who had just paid their tax through the bike man sometimes cry on top of bikes. Make we just dey play.

Lest I forget, around February, I paid 10k levied on everyone living in the estate to construct a strategic road leading to the estate. We are just jokers on this board.

I’m sorry to say, but you’re not making any sense with the position you’ve taken. Yes, it’s true that most people may not want to pay taxes, but you can’t just ignore the fact that taxes fund many of the things we all rely on — no matter how deadbeat or broken some of them may seem right now.

We’re talking about:
- Public schools and hospitals
- Roads, bridges, and transport systems
- Salaries of civil servants, police, security officers, teachers, doctors, and more
- Clean water, electricity, and essential infrastructure

Even if the system isn’t perfect, and not everyone enjoys all the benefits listed above, refusing to pay tax doesn’t help — it only makes things worse.
If you want to complain about how public funds are being spent, you should at least be contributing. That’s how you earn the right to hold leaders accountable.

No be only to shout “corruption” — we all have to carry our share of the load. That’s how real change begins.

Leyqute:
Abeg x3

I still have to worry about offloading Sancho. Thanks for not buying him BTW 🙄

We go collect pay small small. Make una pay £80 now and spread the rest across 3years

TemporaryHansel:
You keep talking like Nigeria is a textbook case. It's not. And until we start addressing it as it is, not how it’s supposed to be, we’ll just be reciting civic nursery rhymes while the country burns.

Yes, government is supposed to regulate, license, maintain, and serve. But we both know that in practice, they barely function unless there's personal profit involved. You say the government regulates waste disposal—yet refuse still floods the streets. You say roads would be worse without government—yet many are unmotorable, and the ones that work were often built by state governments, foreign aid, or private entities just trying to save their own necks.

As for tax funding all this? Let’s not pretend our taxes are going into service delivery. Nigeria’s budget gets looted at every stage—from inflated contracts to ghost workers to padded allocations. Even oil revenue, which should supplement IGR, is routinely mismanaged or siphoned. So when you tell me my taxes are "needed" to fix the rot, my honest question is: fix what? Or fatten who?

Yes, private schools and hospitals are licensed by the government. But that’s all the government does: license and harass them for levies. They're not being enabled, they’re being tolerated. The quality of service there isn’t a product of government support—it’s in spite of it.

And please, the "Tunji-Ojo passport reform" praise is premature. Fixing what shouldn't be broken in the first place isn't progress—it's basic decency. When people clap for that, it just shows how starved we are for competence.

You're saying my stance hurts the common man. But no, what hurts the common man is a system that forces him to pay tax, delivers nothing, and protects looters. You want to guilt me into funding that mess? That's not patriotism, that's Stockholm syndrome.

So yes, I avoid giving money to thieves. That doesn’t mean I’m the reason the house is on fire. I’m just refusing to pass them fuel.

Bros, I beg you in God’s name — at least try to pay your tax. You can’t be condemning those looting the country if you’re also part of the problem. You sef check am……you no fit dey shout “thief thief” when your own hand still dey inside the pot of stew, haba!

Enzo5:
CF: Jackson, Delap, Pedro.
RF: Neto, Noni, Estevão.
LF: Gittens, Pedro, Neto.
LCM: Enzo, Santos, Pedro.
RCM: Palmer, Dewsbury-Hall, Estevão, Pedro.
DM: Caicedo, Lavia, Essugo, Santos.

You can see that Pedro covers a lot of positions but I feel he will be primarily used as an inside LW like Palmer against Benfica. We have a lot of dynamic players in this squad now. - Vince

Maresca has the options to win games and trophies.
Pedro has the opportunity to make that left position his before gittens joins

Before I forget, Ireti must put an end to this new experiment of playing Palmer in that inside left-wing position. I don’t know what his problem is, but he should stop these senseless experiments before he ruins Palmer, abeg.

Leyqute:
Douglas Luiz rumors gathering steam. Won’t mind having him for cheap or as an exchange for Sancho with some cash. It’s just that I don’t see Sancho going to Juve

Bro come collect Felix and Nkunku for £150mil last price. Very cheap deal wey go upgrade your team. Hurry before arsssnal collect them.

Trevor012 na your opportunity to let Leyqute upgrade una team…no dull am ooo

iamoyindamola:
Customer dada ni

Una no go buy Felix and Nkunku for £150mil now? Striker no dey anywhere oooo. Una better buy dem for cheap now before Leyqute ManU buy dem.

swiz123:
Not so much. I observed from yesterday that the dude’s decision making is atrocious; almost like someone with no knowledge of basic math.

He might have just had an off day yesterday. You should watch some of his older games/clips—I’m sure you’d have a different opinion of him.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I watched a video where a Muslim guy was threatening another guy that someday, Muslims will be have more population in Canada, and then, they'll impose Sharia on everyone

People will definitely migrate. But when you make it an agenda to include conquering and terrorism, you need to go back to your roots.

Even when the West left Afghanistan for good, they still ran away. You can blame the West for instability there, but you cannot blame the West for their radicalism.

I really hoped his deportation was swift.[/color]

Obviously, I’m not blaming the West for their radicalism. However, just as oil and water don’t mix, expecting to import large numbers of people who see you as infidels and still live in harmony is unrealistic.

The claim that man made isn’t unique to Canada—it’s happening in most Western countries as well. Another concern is that while birth rates among native Western populations have declined, these groups are having, on average, at least four children. Over time, this raises the possibility that their population could surpass that of native Westerners in their own countries. What do you think would happen then?

swiz123:
This Oliseh sabi play ball so? Raumdeuter.

You no watch am for EPL?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]No time to check time

You cannot support terrorism remotely.[/color]

Exactly! No remote work allowed here—he should go back to his own country to practise the nonsense he’s preaching. If you look closely, he’s probably living off whatever benefits the Italian government has provided him, all while campaigning for nonsense. Once again, this situation reflects some of the broader consequences the West is facing as a result of its involvement in destabilising the Middle East.

By the way, the Italian Prime Minister’s decision on this matter partly reflects the stance taken by the Polish government: zero acceptance of refugees and zero tolerance for those who wish to live in their country while attacking its faith or its people.
