#Trump doesn't seem to know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance grin
This is why you are cursed daily. A good thing just happened which the world never thought would. Countries which have been sworn enemies for close to a century and peoples (Arab, Berbers, Turks, Jews...) who have hated each other for more than half a millennium agree to a history deal but you ignore that because of your irrational hate for Trump?
You would instead clutch at straws instead of being glad that the Middle East is getting safer at least? You'd rather the Middle East burns and millions die so it would confirm your narrative about Trump and attribute it to him. You'd rather the countries nuke themselves to smithereens just for the fleeting sadistic satisfaction of "I told you so" cruel vindication.

'Vulture-humanoids' like you are the reason the world has been closer to another war than it is to peace. Your sobriquet depicts your origin and clearly your ilk are part of those who would rather the country burns to ashes just to prove your hate-driven narratives right.
Hate has ripped away your humanity, cruelty gnaws at the tidbits of your conscience like a pet rodent on carrots. You are no longer human, you are no longer humane. You've become the worse reflection of the word "despicable".

Nairaland back-and-forths aside, it's over for you. At this point it's obvious that the human race has lost you to that dark being. 8 billion minus 1 humans left on earth right now.

Trump just coordinated a peace deal between Israel and Bahrain. That's two peace deals with Middle East countries in a month.

Obama was paying Iran billions of dollars while it was wielding nuclear warheads, and arming militia groups in the Middle East to overthrow governments. He tore down the Middle East.

Trump sues for peace, Obama invaded and destroyed countries while arming terrorists. The difference is as clear as Trump's meteoric presidential race compared to race-befuddled Kamala Harris' presidential bid.

Forget the girl for a minute, that dude should take a crash course in the art of conversations and improving interpersonal skills. Why on God's green earth would you begin a conversation with a complete stranger with "Bae" then go off about getting her number randomly and type long messages bugging her to reply? You've already shown you lack self-worth. If a random strange girl chats me up "Hello, honey", I'd be spooked too though I'd handle it differently.

I've got close female acquaintances and I have seen (to my embarassment) how some males chat up girls uncivilly and naively. The Sweetbun-s girl wrong to gloat about it? Yes. Was the dude's approach bad? No - it was a freaking disaster.

I don't understand how some people just don't tend to see the realistic side of a situation and just not fall for the temptation of arguing like a hungry lawyer.

Read what is written up there carefully with an objective view I am not talking about ladies accepting every man that comes to her.

I am against the manner in which most of them handle the situation.

Many at times we have had men getting embarrassed by women concerning matters like this and it seems normal.
You outrightly stated you liked how it happened because they've come on to Nairaland to complain about men's advances.

Of course, you'd get embarrassed when you throw all dignity away and self-pride courting a girl's attention. Most of you start tagging them "angel' and "queen" on the first day.

If you had something going for you, you won't be on Nairaland drawing parallel lessons trying to shame the females for turning you down. If you have something going for you, you wouldn't be bothered by a female not yielding to your advances 'cause there are countless other females who will when you play your cards right. Instructive that MOST women you approach are rude to you. MOST. Then again, if you are seeking to get cozy with females on Nairaland which is a relatively faceless forum even with your activities of social media platforms where you can put several pictures and information about the girls together to decide what you want, then it tells a lot about you.

Go get girls elsewhere and stop complaining.

Not a valid rebuttal. A woman doesn't have to give her attention to every man who courts her attention. How she tells them off is key however. That stated, many males on Nairaland have been known to kiss and tell, or slutshame the females on the pages of Nairaland when everything goes south.

Wait, is Russia a country one should ally with?

Russia that is anti-democratic and poisons its own citizens and critics?

You are mad. This is a result of being part of the Trump Cult- when Trump shits, you praise the shit as the best thing in the world.

How can people be celebrating Trump's peace deal between UAE and Isreal? Two already peaceful countries that were friendly with each other since Obama's time

How can people be celebrating good relationship with Russia? A country that is under a dictatorship that literally poisons its critics and citizens? Even the EU, Russia's neighbour don't like Russia!
Fréckled-faced hálfwït, Russia is a country every country doesn't want as its enemy. Russia is a G-8 country hence it decides the fate of many things due to its veto power and has influence far beyond that. Who prevented Obama from directly invading Syria when he wanted to after the massive disastrous intervention in Libya? Putin. Being total enemies with a G-8 country has great consequences.

Same MSM who celebrated US relations with Iran, a terrorist state, under Obama? Even paying it billions?

EU doesn't like Russia? Same EU led by Germany's leader allowing itself get screwed over by Russia? What did the EU, US or UN do in the Poland and Ukraine crises? Nothing because of Russia's status. They all wished they had better relations with Russia.

Who blocked the US from intervening in the South China Sea crisis dragged by China, Japan and smaller countries? Russia. China had/has Russia on its side so it is advancing its cause. Nobody wants Russia as its enemy. Trump understands this and would court Russia to push US agenda.


But you wouldn't understand this because all you crave is the fleeting gratification from being 'upvoted' by your peers on Nairaland with you all having the combined intelligence of a rusted door nail.
International socio-politico-economical debate isn't your forte so return to posting memes and quoting CNN articles. Go seek help for your chronic deméntia, AbdulSleazy slimeball!

True. Always dig up a woman's history before getting intimate with her. Always. Also, while courting girls on social media, avoid getting personal with females on Twitter and Nairaland. If she has a post history of being 'woke' avoid her all together, not even for business. They abound on Twitter and Nairaland, and apart from interacting on posts, I've never gotten too personal with any and warn my buddies never to too.

See lies and propaganda.

1. Obama didnt start any war
Obama fueled and sent US troops to Libya and was part of the NATO mission to the Middle East. Obama lied and instead sent more troops to the ME, including Syria. Cûrséd be his name. In 4 years of Trump presidency, Trump hasn't started any war. He's instead made peace with North Korea and brought the Middle East closer through the Israel-UAE deal.

2. Trump has not done 8 years of presidency yet. Unless you can guarantee that he wont send troops in his next 4 years (if he even gets relected)
Dumbo, in just 2 to 3 years of Obama presidency in 2010 to 2011, he had invaded Libya and Syria, overthrown governments there and in Egypt through the Muslim brotherhood. He also armed militias.

3. Trump does not have relations with Russia. Instead, Trump is Putin's bitch
If you had half the intelligence of a cuttlefish, you'd have realized US-Russia relations are improving. U.S and Russia's rhetoric against themselves has reduced. The Russia-meddling probe failed and the whole world knows it so the left have moved on to attacking Trump with the Coronavirus pandemic.

For a fleeting moment, shock us; prove you are smarter than a chunk of discarded bauxite.

From the conversation I saw Budaatum didn't say you couldn't edit a wiki page, he said it wouldn't take long for any bad edit to be deleted. This is standard wiki practice so I dunno what the bet is supposed to achieve.
The freckled-face Budaatum went to edit the article himself. Wikipedia doesn't automatically edit articles - editors edit them, and minor changes aren't a priority.

Last week even, Elon Musk asked Twitter users to edit his Wikipedia page for fun just to thrash him. There were hundreds of edits but there was a dedicated editor to revert the edits after a while. The only major hurdles for most newbies is creating a fresh Wikipedia page as Wiki codes have a learning curve. Why do you think there's so much falsehood on Wikipedia for years? Understand the system, beat it to achieve your aim. You are arguing with someone who creates pages? You must be Salford1 aka Limo-On-Wheel's mental twin - dûmbînós.

You aren't smart enough to realize there are levels to Wikipedia page editting and unlocking several levels and accesses are determined by the age of your accounts, number of edits you've made over time and editor badges you are given?

IKON360:
Rakitic was a crucial player at Barca. From his arrival till his departure Rakitic was crucial to Barca. You remember he was a crucial and consistent starter during Enrique's time and Valverde's time at Barca. So saying he isn't Barca-esque us wrong.
You still don't get it. It's because since Luis Enrique, Barca deviated from tiki taka. Rakitic wouldn't have fit into that system. Valverde was from freaking Athletic Bilbao - completely different style of play to Barca. It's like saying Varane getting play time at Madrid and getting good statistics makes him a Barca-esque player. Rakitic, Arda Turan, Griezmann... They should never have been in a Barca first team in the first place.

Valverde played Coutinho for over 29 or more matches, man didn't track back nor press well. Let's not talk about the entertainment at Anfield where he and Alba built express on their wing for Trent Arnold to enjoy. Guardiola doesn't have that kind of patience. If you don't give him what he wants you are benched.
Same Valverde who nearly turned Barca to Athletico Madrid, but with less brute? Like the tiki taka is only about tracking back. Compared to Griezmann or Rakitic, Countinho can dictate the pace and mode of play in a heartbeat - accurate passes, dribbles, stall, pressure defenders.... That's mostly what made Iniesta unique. Countinho plays like an ATM, same as Iniesta. Not a CM or DM like Xavi. Iniesta never tracked back as much as Xavi did.

Who in Bayern complained about Guardiola? Lahm? Lewandowski? Robben? Ribery? Who? Guardiola guided them to unusual levels of excellence and was just unfortunate to keep losing at Semi finals of the UCL.
Most people at Bayern did after Guardiola left, even the fans while he was there. The complain basically was Pep was trying to make a Barca 2.0 from scratch instead adapting to what they already had. In fact, after winning the last UCL weeks ago, fans were saying the style of play was basically who they are. It took them time to shed off most of Pep's philosophy. Countinho would thrive under Pep.

And I don't see Coutinho being any heir to any Iniesta throne. He should play his beat football for 30 matches and remove shame from our faces. And any wing that can help him do that, no problem. But I am certain that it would be hard to give him a free role without responsibilities in this team.
Well, to be fair to Countinho, Iniesta set the bar too high but Countinho would be the closest we can get to Iniesta 2.0. Not exact but close. It's like trying to get a Messi or Xavi heir. The closest to Messi is Neymar. Certainly not exact but the closest football offers.

[quote author=IKON360 post=93782832]It's not a foolish question. You have termed Setien as moronic but I ask you simply, in this Barca with Messi at the right, Suarez as the striker where would you have played Greizman?
Griezmann has never been a Barca-esque player, just like Rakitic. He'd score, he assist but he's never been THAT player.
For one thing, Coutinho never played with Greizman.
I never stated he did. I stated clearly that it was odd that Countinho was unplayable while Griezmann was played and I even mention the period - 2018. Everybody knows Griezmann hadn't joined us then. That's deductive thinking.
And Guardiola would not turn Coutinho into any Iniesta. Iniesta tracks back, Iniesta MARKS. Iniesta even gets carded for dangerous lunges. Coutinho doesn't mark, Coutinho can't even follow an opponent till he gets the ball or fouls the guy.
Oh, actually, Guardiola would. See what he did at Barca and, now, Man. City? Who would have believed Aguero and Sterling would track back but Pep made them do it to fit into his team.
At Bayern it was still obvious, Muller was benching him at CAM and Perisic or Coman were preferred at LM. Coutinho is good but he needs no responsibility football to play well. Guardiola is the king of responsibility football. You can't play for Guardiola if you don't press. That's why Gabriel Jesus was benching Aguero. Aguero was the better finisher but Jesus was pressing far more. Under Guardiola every single player is very good at pressing, from Sane to Sterling to Foden even the two Silvas De Bruyne etc. Coutinho would be benched under Guardiola.
Aguero backtracking didn't improve under Guardiola? Same Aguero? Have you been watching the MLS version of Man. City?
Using Bayern to measure Countinho's style of play isn't a fit-for-purpose yardstick. Same Bayern complained they disliked how Pep changed their style of play and reverted to the default immediately he departed from the Allianz Arena. Bayern doesn't play tiki taka which is the style of play Iniesta adhered to all his footballing career. So, why wouldn't Countinho have fit into his shoes if you've watch both play?
In fact, replacing Iniesta was the main reason Barca courted Countinho. The fans kept reiterating he could. Still the only player the fandom has identified as the Iniesta heir. ...And a gazillion reasons abound for that tag.

You are a specialist in stroking your ego and writing rubbish.

There is a super rich upper class in Nigeria. Those 20% who own houses in London and New york.

You want to talk macro economics, do you not see that Nigerias population, weak regulations, cheap labour and weak taxation gives rise to super profits.

Let's talk numbers

1. Blacks are financially underrepresented and disadvantaged in America. Earning twice less than Asian and whites when their average household incomes are compared

2. Nigeria is at least 90% black out of 200 million. The usa is 14% black of 330 million. There are more blacks in Nigeria.

3. There is a super rich upper class in Nigeria. Those that send their children to schools in Europe and North America. An estimated 20% of the Nigerian population.

4. Nigeria has oil billionaires, farming billionaires, construction billionaires. Nigeria is a big country and any business done on an interstate level is big. Do you know that if you own a ginger exporting business, you are a millionaire soon to be a billionaire?

5. Many of the successful blacks in the usa are even Nigerian
A withered carrot would beat you in an IQ test. If we add a watermelon to the mix, it's game over - lightyears difference.

By the current statistics, about 82 million Nigerians live on a dollar a day which already doubles the total number of black in America.

There are just 29,500 dollar millionaires in Nigeria out of the 200 million Nigerians.

With average black household put at 5 people, that would be 40 million blacks in America divided by the total number persons per household( 5). 40 million divided by 5 is 8 million households. 1.9 percent of 800,000 is 152,000 black millionaires.

There are 152,000 black millionaires in America.

I should charge you for teaching you comparative analysis. See how I am using credible sources? Watch and learn.

Coutinho needs a more mobile DM than Busquets behind him. That's what I said here since. At Bayern too, Coutinho never pressed like Perisic or Coman nor Muller or Gnabry. But when on the ball he played with more confidence due to the presence of Goreztka or Kimmich or Thiago behind him... If FDJ and Pjanic will play dual pivot under Koeman then we could be looking at some good stuff from Coutinho...
I've always defended Countinho, even before the UCL final and when he was loaned. He's very good. That he became unplayable at Barcelona while players like Rakitic and Griezmann were on the field was another proof many things hand to change at the club. A coach like Guardiola would turn Countinho into Iniesta. ...Well, close.

joviegghead:
As it stands, FDJ and someone else who can burst forward and defend well will play double pivot role(Pjanic most likely)
There must be an AM in the team(Coutinho most likely)
Griezmann is likely to be the mobile striker, moving centrally.
Messi is going to stay on the right. I don't see him doing his free role job under Koeman. Maybe Coutinho is gonna do that.
Dembele sticks to the left.
Fati, Puig and the other boys are subs.
Coutinho played a free role most times in 2018. But Messi has never really been confined to any one role, not even in 2012 when he played as a CF under Guardiola. He still roamed then but not really to the middle - Iniesta was doing great there. Countinho should have been Iniesta 2.0 - that was the plan but...

Dollars or pounds. Nigeria has more black millionaires than in the usa.

There are 42 million blacks in America. Compare this to 200 million blacks in Nigeria.

Now, in Nigeria, 90% of big million dollar businesses are owned by or run by blacks. Even MTN that is south African still has Nigerian directors.

Do you know how many billionaires nigeria has made through oil businesses alone? Barrels of oil are counted in dollars. What about farming exports? Did you know that ginger exports is a billion dollar industry with few players in Nigeria?

You are a black man that hates your own blackness.
Many of the blacks in America are also Nigerian or of Nigerian origin. The most successful ethic group in America are Nigerian-Americans/Nigerians. You should point that out.

That stated, there's no statistics that prove there are more black dollar millionaires resident in Nigeria than those in America.
Don't delve into the vortex of macroeconomics if you don't understand it. You should at least learn from this thread.

Compare the average household income of Nigerians and blacks in America (approximated in US dollars). The Nigerian one is lower.

Compare the percentile of the black population in America to their Nigerian counterparts. Going with the current exchange rate of #380 - #400 to a dollar, you'd have to calculate the percentage of Nigerians worth #400 million and compare that with the percentage of blacks in America worth the dollar equivalent which is $1 million.

How many big businesses worth millions of dollars are in Nigeria? How Nigerians actually own these businesses?
Use these indices before throwing around random figures.

When it comes to economics and statistics, don't just make up figures because you crave 80 'likes' and 31 shares on a quasi-faceless forum when you'd in fact be done with the argument none the wiser than you began it.

What is wrong with you folks and seeking fleeting validation, even with unintelligently-put, vague falsehood?

Was this necessary?

When you start fact checking lies, they start becoming triggered, insult others, and abuse others..

Why don't you just face Abdul and leave his descent out of your abuse.
Lies? Let's wager a bet:
If I post credible sources of all the points I have alleged about Obama's complicity in the Middle East, Libya and terror groups arms proliferation, you would deactivate your account, yes?

Check my post history: a bulk of the evidence I have always provided have been from official US agency sources. Oh, don't even get me starte on WikiLeaks revelations which wreck Hillary and why the Obama Administration has insistently wanted Julian Assange extradited.

Messi is a fool. He should go and sit down. He can stay or he can leave. His attitudes are uncaptain like and shocking for someone who has stayed 20 years at the club. Totti will never treat Roma like this.
Totti never had ambition. There... That had to be stated. Even if wishes were trains, Totti isn't worthy enough to sit in Messi's coach. Don't compare the two.

Totti's Roma is the Italian equivalent of Everton/Tottenham. What's special about that? Even Mikel Obi has had a more successful career than Totti. Facts don't lie, sentiments be damned.

What has Messi not done for the club? He carried it on his back for years? He's been the poster boy for 13 straight years. He's been an ambassador off and on the pitch.

The Messi era has been the most successful era in Barcelona's history and, thankfully, the reign hasn't ended. Long live the emperor. Yes, sir - it's no longer a kingdom; like the past few days have proven he's the emperor - he held and has the footballing empire by the jocular. smiley

Breakdown of the Messi-Barcelona meeting:

https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/1301419916592066560?s=20


"The meeting went as expected.

FCB insisted he could only go for €700m and Bartomeu said he didn't want him to go and won't negotiate an exit. Offered again a two year renewal with the possibility of leaving at the end of every year.

Jorge Messi asked to leave FCB for free. Rodrigo Messi (brother) and lawyer Jorge Pecourt went for Messi too. Bartomeu and football director J.Bordas, for FCB. No lawyer for club as they see it as a football problem.

They asked Messi to return to training and will give him few days if he needs them but to come back soon.

BOTH insist on same idea, next 'logical' step would be for Messi to ask FIFA a provisional transfer (which he would get) and FCB to report him (and next club) to FIFA plus start a civil court with unsure conclusion as a judge would determine the transfer fee at some point.

#MCFC have always said they would not get involved if there is a court case. "

[quote][/quote]It's like a spouse threatening to leave you and refusing all your pleas to stay. Then as a last option, you threaten to gruesomely murder any love interest who courts her attention. "If I can't have you, nobody will. And I'd go down in blazes just to prove my love for you. "

This Messi - Barcelona love story is epic! They should make a movie of this.
