Happy birthday Alex!

Is this Arsenal match

You not dey chook mouth inside another team's match?

How can man Utd allow this discombobulated Liverpool team equalise them? Is this Lammens really an upgrade to Onana?

When I saw a short clip of Isak and Frimpong fighting in the gym, I knew Liverpool will be in soup in their next fixture. Arne Slot has lost control of the locker room, the players he signed have not gelled with the ones they met in the team, now the newly signed players are now turning against themselves. Recipe for disaster. It's best he honourably step down next season else Liverpool will continue to sink into the abyss.

IkeIgboNiile:
Congratulations to them. I hope Wrexham is the gets promoted next. They're a team that i have followed from the 3rd division to championship.

They've lost steam, it will take luck for them to qualify. No team between places 3-6 can match the current form of Southampton

No school will allow no.1 no matter how liberal they are. For no.2; If the skirt is going to be that short, it will be pleated. 4 should be slightly below the knees. I'm not seeing much differences between 5&6. 5 should be at level of 4

NothingDoMe:
Lol. It reminds me of our joint venture in Nigeria where Chevron brings 35% while NNPC brings 65%.

​The major concern should be why a government refuses to contribute to a joint venture to save its citizens' lives, but instead wants the foreign party to put in 100% of the funds.

​You don't have $340m to put into the JV, and you don't want to agree to more concessions for the US mining firms.

​Meanwhile, this same Zambia dey owe China $5b.

​If Zambia cannot run her economy, then she should become a vassal state to America or China—who see the money to be made—while the Zambians continue to build bambiala mentality."

Do you seriously believe this is a joint venture? If Zambia brings out $340m, how much percentage from the sales of the finished goods will be remitted to them? How much will Zambia buy the finished goods? Zambia has recognised that this is pure extortion and exploitation of the highest order. If cutting off medical aids is what will allow Zambia preserve the ownership of their minerals, so be it!

Ojagun:
Lol
I am actually a fan of Arsenal FC but something irks me about that club.I believe it is the "Arteta factor".His disgusting arrogance,the club's arrogance,the players arrogance,the club's supporters arrogance.The way they talk down to other clubs.Unbeaten season this...unbeaten season that.
Hopefully,they will go trophyless this season as usual

This one don kolomental, Arsenal fan my foot. Rep your Chelsea with your full chest, nobody will beat you.

When we say African leaders should emancipate themselves from the shackles of the west, this is what we're talking about. You want to exploit a country's mineral resources where you stand to make billions of dollars. You now expect the country to contribute into you exploiting their minerals. Because they're refusing to comply, you decided to withhold health aids. African countries should stop recieving aids from these countries. They don't care about us, they never did they never will. We should be able to stand on our own but our selfish, greedy leaders keep running to them for support.

I hope a civil war or "terrorist attacks" don't break out in Zambia in the years to come

*Dismissing ‘patently false’ accusations

A major health funding arrangement between the United States and Zambia has been delayed after both sides failed to reach an agreement on a deal worth more than $1 billion.

A major $1 billion health funding deal between the US and Zambia has been delayed due to failure to finalize a new memorandum of understanding (MOU).

As a result, ongoing US support for critical health programs in Zambia is operating without a formal structure, putting essential services at risk.

Concerns have emerged about the deal linking financial support to negotiations over Zambia's mineral resources and data privacy, though the US ambassador firmly denied these allegations.

Talks broke down partly over provisions tying health funding to broader negotiations, including a separate bilateral compact possibly related to mining partnerships.

Officials in Washington have expressed frustration after repeated attempts to gain Zambia's commitment to a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) were unsuccessful ahead of an April 30 deadline.

According to outgoing US ambassador Michael Gonzales, the lack of a formal agreement has resulted in continuous support working without a structured framework, thereby jeopardizing the delivery of essential interventions addressing HIV, malaria, maternity and child health, and epidemic preparedness.

"Instead of continuing to languish without engagement, the actual funding under our Health ⁠MOU should have started this month," Gonzales said in remarks delivered on Thursday evening as he prepared to leave the post, as seen on Reuters.

Zambia and the US health deal
The proposed five-year agreement was intended to codify the United States' support for Zambia's healthcare system while also establishing a coordinated implementation approach.

The deal also requires Zambia to contribute around $340 million in counterpart funds throughout the course of the program, a commitment deemed hefty considering the country's present fiscal problems.

Negotiations halted earlier this year, in February, after the Southern African country objected to certain terms it felt were incompatible with national priorities.

Further complicating matters were amendments to the proposed deal that included stipulations linking continued funding to broader bilateral negotiations.

According to sources involved with the discussions, the agreement included language indicating that financial assistance may be revisited if both countries did not reach an agreement on a separate "bilateral compact" by early April.

That provision has sparked concern because it appears to link crucial healthcare money to parallel negotiations, reportedly related to a potential mining partnership, raising broader questions about whether development aid is being leveraged alongside strategic business objectives.

It's good the way Arteta replaced Saka with Madueke as the 2nd half began, we not to keep our star boy fit and fresh for the remaining matches. I hope they get a suitable Declan rice replacement

MERCHANDISER:
Please what's mancity chances of winning the League?
If they win all their games

If both teams win all their remaining games, goal difference will be the decider.

Bukola94:
NB: Not only win, they should try and be winning by three to four goals. City will win all their remaining games too with load of goals. I trust Pep , he will instruct the players to be scoring four to 6goals per match

Which one is loads of goals? When last did man cheaty win a match by +2 goal margin? Even against relegated Burnley, na by luck that they won the match by just one goal. If to say Burnley attack was a bit more clinical, the match would have ended a draw. Where man cheaty wan see loads of goals, dem wan tiff am?

Goballll jorrr!

Star ⭐ boy!!!

Calafiori has scored twice against Fulham this season with both goals disallowed.

Gyokeres on goal no. 20 for the season. Not bad for a "flop"

Every other team still in the UCL is rotating their squad for this weekends match apart from Arsenal. Our players don over try, may God crown their efforts with success

Renee and the ladies majestically bow out of the UEFA champions league to the team they knocked out last season. How grand it would have been it both the men and ladies can get to the finals and eventually win it.

100naira:
well they might do a Sunderland and Leeds next season

Except they inject quality players into their team like Sunderland and Leeds, they're going back at the end of the season

Congrats to them. Do I see them staying up next season? Nope! They'll be the Burnley of next season. Southampton will most likely get the 3rd and final promotion.

Ipswich Town are a Premier League team again.

Their last promotion, in 2024, was greeted with wild celebrations after two decades away from the top flight. But the stark reality of life among English football's elite quickly took hold and relegation followed.

After they secured their return at the first attempt, are they better equipped to stay up this time?

Atletico Madrid - 27

Bayern Munich - 19
Arsenal - 6


Yet some people believe that Arsenal will crumble against either of the 2 teams that were spamming goals against each other in the first leg. When If Arsenal qualify for finals, I hope whoever wins between these 2 defensive disasters bring that kind of tactics against them in the finals. I want to see who will prevail between defense vs attack.

The depth of some men's wickedness can never be known. Men stop murdering innocent people. Not even your fellow men are safe from you people. I pray for God's protection over my children because of evil MEN. Because of money, everybody's life is in danger, every outing could be one's last. God save us from the evil men in this country

Why we killed 17-year-old Jambite after N200,000 ransom’

A 21-year-old suspected kidnapper over the murder of a Jambite, Thomson Omokhafe Adams, 17, has said they killed him because he recognised one of them.

Tony Ekwane Oghanetega, 21, and Elijah Emmanuel, 23, were among 118 suspected criminals arrested by the Lagos Police Command in the last two weeks for sundry offences.

According to the suspect, they lured and killed the victim while he was returning from writing the just concluded Just Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) examination in Ikorodu.

Oghanetega, who claimed to be a music producer, said his associate had complained that the teenage victim had identified him and could lead his parents back to the place he was held hostage if allowed to stay alive.

The suspects had chained the teenager, used a nail-infested wood and a cutlass to hit, strangled him, and forced his body into a sack, which they disposed of in a remote bush.

In his confessional statement, Oghenetega said the victim was invited to his apartment by his associate, whom he described as a friend of the deceased.

He claimed the pair had earlier planned the attack and prepared weapons, chains, padlocks, and a large travel bag before the victim arrived.

The suspect alleged that after the victim was lured to his apartment, he was chained while videos and photographs were taken of him.

“My accomplice later insisted the victim should not be released because he knew our identities and family members. We subsequently strangled the victim to death inside my apartment.

“After we discovered that the victim had died, we placed the body inside a ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ bag and transported it on a motorcycle to a secluded area where it was dumped in a bush,” he told detectives.

Oghenetiga said they carried microphones and music equipment along with them to make it appear they were going for a regular job, and not raise suspicion.

After disposing of the body, he said he contacted his father the next morning and demanded transportation in order to return to his parents’ home.

Giving details of the arrest, the Police Commissioner, CP Fatai Tijani, said operatives of the command acted on credible intelligence following a missing-person complaint filed at the Ajah Division, Area J, Command.

He said the suspects were apprehended around 10 pm on April 27 at the Lucky Fibre Area in Ikorodu, Lagos.

CP Tijani added that preliminary investigation linked the suspects to the kidnap and murder of a female victim last November after collecting N300, 000 ransom.

They ve qualified already

That's good. Congrats to them

It's really does look like they're working for Tinubu with all these clownery they're performing. How hard is it to choose a consensus candidate to bear the flag of the party? Everybody wants to be president but sadly they can not pull the numbers to win individually.

MFM has been disbanded to protect the image of the Church and the mechanism now work with sporting Lagos

Wow! I didn't know that. They're on the verge of qualifying to the NPFL, that'll make 2 Lagos teams on the top flight

Instead of joy and celebration, my stepmom looked at my father and sarcastically told him to empty the house just so I could go to school

Omission of one word completely confused your readers. If you had included that bolded word, your story wouldn't be so confusing. Back to your story, you're not under any obligation to pay for her children's university fees. It's not your responsibility. I just hate all these "I chose to be the bigger person" type of stories, who sent you? God forbid if you hit rock bottom, will these people step up for you the way you're stepping up for them? How will people know the gravity of their wickedness if you keep giving them soft landings?
