Nothing wrong there. 99.9% of women footballers do not make enough to retire after playing

At least, they're able to build up a better source of income, not just being a minimum wage earner.

Mind you, I'm not just blaming the government, I'm blaming our country and society as a whole that has been unable to rise above it's mediocrity in almost all aspects of life. I'm yearning for us to begin to measure up to the bigger societies.

Nobody owes me anything, family can only support, you have to use your opportunities to build your life, there are no excuses, nobody held you back but yourself, if your life ages poorly

it's all your fault, look into the mirror and hail your pathetic self

This is a very selfish and individualistic point of view.
You are trying to make it seem like everyone in life has equal access to opportunity and everyone who failed did so for lack of trying.
There are people who lack access to capital or education. Or those who have lived in a rural society all their lives and know nothing outside of this and are only able to live their entire lives in the small bubble of poverty.

You cannot and should not use one lens to judge everyone. All fingers are literally not equal.

I'm still in touch with a former secondary school mate who couldn't continue his education because his parents both died. And there was deep historical animosity in the family with his extended relatives. So no one ever helped him. He literally feeds from hand to mouth, doing menial jobs like masonry, bricklaying and the rest. He's in an absolute scrawny condition with no one to help. And not for lack of effort.
You really can't use one brush to paint all

You have fame and access to money and still yet, you don't invest and plan for tomorrow

The issues that trouble me today are issues that will escalate in the future, now has already arrived, if you planned poorly, it's playing out like expected

Nobody owes me anything, family can only support, you have to use your opportunities to build your life, there are no excuses, nobody held you back but yourself, if your life ages poorly

it's all your fault, look into the mirror and hail your pathetic self

But she really doesn't. Not in our society. That's what I'm pointing out.

Being a Bus driver in London for a former super Falcon player is not a bad thing. Lets stop this cry baby attitude

raumdeuter:
What is wrong with this? Is she beyond those doing the job? Or should she be raising Gofundme campaign like some ex sportsmen are doing?
If you dont have money no one will tell you to take up any job to survive. I have seen many ex internationals of different countries pick up other jobs post retirement

Paying your bills is the main thing. I saw Patience Avre in Chicago many yrs ago, I heard she is working in healthcare nowadays. Avre was a real star not this Ayegba that most people dont even know about

I think you both misunderstand my position. Many ex-footballers who play for their national teams are able to build up a profile that makes it easier to earn better income from more reputable sources.

Being a driver is a low income\ minimum wage paying job that celebrities shouldn't be seen doing.
This lady played in front of thousands of people for her national team. That's enough to have built a good profile.

I said I weep for my country because, in other countries you can see that their former pro footballers both male and female are able to slot into other footballing roles and pay-structures but our country doesn't value those things, hence the disparities between both countries income opportunities and general environment.

Simply put, an American or European former footballer is more likely to succeed than someone from our country. I'm wishing this would cease to be so.

Things you see and weep for this country.

Capaldi:
So basically all of Ajax highly rated class of 2019 players have flopped badly. From De ligt to De Jong,Beek,Neres, Onana, and Ziyech.

While many of them are good individually, they've struggled badly to assimilate with their team. Many of them are looking like mismatches for their team.

After watching Villarreal yesterday I decided to Google Arnaut Danjuma and found his story very interesting

Dutch Father, Nigerian mother but wondering why he goes by Danjuma and not his fathers last name

His mother is Hauwa a Notherner

His parents divorced when he was young and he became homeless having to live in foster care with his siblings

https://lifebogger.com/arnaut-danjuma-childhood-biography-story-facts/

Wow, this website is very rich in content. Thanks for sharing.
Do you think he would choose Nigeria as his country? For football?

Havertz10:
When tuchel talks about havertz, he mentions talent, potential, he can't run out of superlatives

But if it's mount, he incorporates intangibles

Post the superlatives used for havertz.

Havertz10:
Hehehehe, I don’t understand why that take on infidelity offended many people

Marriage, relationship are all social constructs, they have no inherent rules, we all just accept what’s convenient for the aggregate.
love is a chemical reaction in the brain
loyalty is a privilege that you are gifted based on the valuation that someone places on you at their own discretion

If you agree with the above, then you will understand the basis of my take concerning cheating

That you love someone doesn’t mean that you cant find other people attractive or even infatuate, just like food, people have their taste and circumstances often limits the options on offer and because of the way our society is, when its time to marry most people settle for the next best thing that is ready to marry them, because of that you have to work hard to build on the minimal initial attraction to maintain the bond, if you don’t maintain this, you exert so much pressure on their loyalty to you, if you aren’t worth impending sacrifices, its up to the person to appropriate their loyalty anyway they deem it fit, that you married someone doesn’t mean that they automatically they owe you loyalty, its expected but at the end of the day its their choice, they can violate such expectations, there is no genetic mechanism that switches in your head because someone is married, loyalty is your choice at the end of the day to give, the valuation you place on your partner based points in the post on united thread determines that

If a person that matches their desires becomes available to them and you aren’t worth that sacrifice, it will take so much to hold back the person

Additionally because a woman that is married is considered untouchable, the only men that she will allow into her life are men that she is naturally attracted to, making such connections very dangerous for her husband, a guy that bleeps a man’s woman tries to outdo him, its an ego thing for him further making things more difficult for the woman and worst for her husband

Our fathers had financial ruin and social stigma to deter women from exercising freewill with their loyalty, women today don’t have such limitations, they are financially independent, very self aware and opinionated, continue underrating them, when they meet someone that sees them properly, you will see all the above play out


Look at American divorce rates, these things aren’t funny, women are waking up, step up your game brothers, a growing number of women no longer accept the kind of social cheques that our fathers gave.

What the fuck_are you on about

nihilistjnr:
obviously Donstan has a peculiar style, and a penchant for hyperbole.

I doubt its anywhere near that deep for him. He just likes his takes on the hot side

Hmmm.

nihilistjnr:
Two Dondadas don dada to donate Don Demarcos in the Don Classico

More of this please my Dons

Hmmm. What do you make of his stance on tuchel?

Ibime:
When are you changing your name to Havertz9

Focus has switched from Mount to Lukaku after Mount chased him from midfield

Operation hate anyone in Havertz position. We predicted this at season start.
Make no mistake, half the hate for Lukaku is due to Havertz fan boys. They could not even wait for him to overcome injury to pull the knives out. Football is a long game sha, in few months, you'll be quiet as a mouse just like exonerate1 who spent the first 4 weeks of the season hating on Chilwell and praising Alonso only to go quiet within a month

It's the negative consequence of choosing a player over the team. I just don't know what people see in that havertz and mount. This is how hazard fan boys chased a lot of coaches out of Chelsea when he couldn't perform optimally.

Thecassanova:
I’ve got nothing against Tuchel though these days I fail to see the fighting spirit of this team. It’s like they play with little motivation.

Great teams are build in moments like this, to grind results beyond obstacles. The board should investigate these shambolic december performances, it’s like the squad gas out as the year ends. I hope our injury woes come to and end soon.

Dude, it's only 4 games. 2 weeks ago, we were all happy and over the moon with our performances. We were on a winning streak coupled with clean sheets. Now we have injuries to the spine of our team.

What do you think Tuchel is doing wrong now that he was doing differently weeks ago?? We started this league with the most difficult set of fixtures and came out on top of the league. Credits where it's due. The man has earned the benefits of our doubt, stop being reactionary.

Maximilan:
How exactly is a player who was influencial in our UCL win, who finished 19th in the ballon’dor standings and has a better G/A stat than even Bruno Fernandez in the league this season despite the latter almost having twice the amount of minutes played, I’ll really like to know who’s ‘somebody’ to you in this Chelsea team in your terms.

Mount has been largely inconsistent. His numbers are quite paltry in relation to his number of appearances. Other attackers can attribute their poor numbers to injuries but mount has been lacking in his final output.
I'm actually not hating on mount, I do believe he has potential. But that's it, POTENTIAL. It hasn't materialized yet, which is why it's surprising to see people start fanning him when he hasn't actually done anything. He has shown glimpses of brilliance here and there, but needs to be consistent.

Our UCL win can be largely credited to our defense and midfield who controlled the game and were tight respectively. From Mendy to Thiago, jorginho, kante, rudiger before others fall in line. These were our "somebodys". Our attackers were actually poor and inconsistent. Barely scoring more than 1 goal a match.

Danhumprey:
Whoa! Wait.... Tuchel is racist?

I really don't know why you guys are wasting your precious time replying that idiot.
The minute he called tuchel a racist was when you would know 3 nuts were unscrewed up there.
He's not making any sense. He's just reactionary.
Someone who would adore a nobody like mount and then diss our best manger. Isn't that imbecility?

donstan18:
Why are you always rude and insulting over little argument?

Don’t you have home training??
Shea Na this foolishness make them expose you as gay here few months ago?

I'm rude because i do realize that we have the most reactionary fan base in the world. Many people might not know that you're just being temporarily insane when making all these statements and decide to be seeing sense in the nonsense you're spewing which is why it needs to be put down as hard as possible. Better receive sense in Jesus name.

donstan18:
Tuchel isn’t above criticizing.
There’s nothing he did that Di Matteo didn’t do for us.
He’s been foolish and clueless for our past 3 games and that’s fact.

Again, MADNESS!!! FOOLISHNESS!!! DONSTUPIDITY!!
You are now trying to dig in, to force yourself into seeing reasons why you should hate tuchel. So 3 games out of 54 is enough reason to start hating him right? Bro, please don't.

Harken back to when he just came in, how our team was performing very badly, we were down in 9th position. Harken back to how he came and changed our formation in order to play to the player's strength. Remember that many of those didn't think that formation would thrive, that it was just a temporary move, that there was no way jorginho could play in a 2 man midfield, or some of us believing that we couldn't win the champions league with the formation.
Remember how we played ATM, Porto, Madrid out of the park. How we beat mancity 3 times in a row.

Ffs, we have a manager who beat the current top5 coaches in the world last season. Mourinho, Guardiola, kloop, zidane, Simeone etc last season. Did dimatteo do half of that when we won 10 years ago? We maxed our LUCK all the way to the trophy, unlike last season where we were deserved winners.

Many of us here were not Tuchel's biggest fans when he 1st came, we barely knew him but he won us all over. He more than deserves our trust and loyalty. I won't even waste my time to engage with you on this issue again.

Anybody calling for tuchels head simply owns a bunk in a psychiatric ward.

donstan18:
Tuchel’s days are numbered.

Gave away lead against Westham, did the same tonight.

Conceding 7 goals in that last 3 games.

Unacceptable!!

That racist must be investigated.

You are becoming mad. That's the only explanation for this. Madness!! Funny you would adore an inconsistent and incompetent mount and choose to start dissing on one of the best managers in the game, who happens to be with us.

This is how it starts, one small problem and fans begin to see reasons to hate the manager. I just hope many fans would not start becoming as foolish as you pertaining to this.

I'm actually seeing us draw Madrid. I don't know why people are not thinking in this direction. We are more likely to face Madrid.

Ibime:
As things stand, Rudiger should come on for Sarr before he finally cost us the game

Sarr should only play beside our experienced midfielders.

Werner man of the match. His best match in a Chelsea shirt.

Thank God oo. This was a very close one. We really miss jorginho and kante today. Let them do and come back abeg.

After this match, Tuchel needs to revert the conservative football we were playing when he first came in. Then we weren't scoring much but we were not conceding. Recently tuchel urged the attackers to take more risks in order to score more, but this has inadvertently led to us being more porous

Omo. E go vex me if we no win this group. How do you start the season Soo well only to crumble mid way?? Every damn season.

swiz123:
I am patiently waiting for Ibime to tell us how James who is our DM is solely at fault for this performance

AnfieldFan:
They guarantee trophies but you omitted them. Infact, the current Balon D'or holder plies his trade for them....

They don't have the European pedigree to push for such. None of their players have ever won it.

nateevs:
Him and im buddy Popiziano. Barkley Barkley Barkley....

Not fair criticism. He's being played out of position. We can't use that to judge him.

BlueMann:
See the rubbish wey we dey play Lolz

Abeg make TT tear into the team and make some subs. Can't remember when last we were this porous.

I hoped we would build on our good start. Such a shame mehn

Abeg make jorginho do come back. This midfield is nothing to write home about. Would have been 3 now.

donjazet:
Omehn, thank God say we score early oo. This match for hard us die.

I never even talk finish, them don bust us.

Omehn, thank God say we score early oo. This match for hard us die.
