u fine jhoor.. no mind anybody wey dey yearn okpata

Thing is this.. all these arguments no worth am.. religion or no religion,belief or no belief.. e no go fit change shiit..

Religion dey since we were born and e go still dey after we die.. atheism dey from time immemorial and go still dey till human stops existing..

Religion brings some people kinda relief.. heaping the doings and outcomes to God..that's a relief on its own( na so God want am).
I think people should be left with what works for them.. but what I detest is rubbing your beliefs to another person's face.. I detest and I can go brutal for that one..

Live and let live bro... Peace

His issue is that he sees himself superior to people with religious beliefs LMAO

Just as a reminder: Football is back on Saturday.

I'm a childhood Dortmund fan, born and raised in Dortmund, in our family house beside the petrol station by the junction at the back of Signal Ideuna road.

My Great Grandfather was a fan of the 18 other clubs on the table except for Bayern, so i have inherited his fandom too.

Insha Allah we will prevent Bayern from getting their filthy hands on the trophy.

Because of the recent 4-0? Ah bros you're being petty now o

That must be Max Kruse on Fifa.

if you're referring to the English Max Kruse, you may be right

1.Africa is the world most religious/superstitious continent u more likely to hear about witches/village here more than anywhere.
2.yes but I am talking about national average for instance most religious countries rank the lowest in scientific literacy,it is easy to stand out as an individual
3.religion is part of that division couple with tribalism

1. You still haven't mentioned how this caused our poor economy, health sector, education etc

2. Who came to Nigeria to build schools and hospitals long before independence?

3. There are many reasons. Putting the blame majorly on religion is laziness on your part

No big deal in calling out frauds. Blowing a whistle, is not a rocket science.

Are you sure? One day we will talk about the penalty merchant

simonjassy:
lol,they did not but i am sure if you interview them,they would claim to be "christians" and "muslims".
The problem here is that there are many disparities on what makes one a "christian" or "muslim".Pretty much why there are several "christian" and "muslim" sects.

So the issue is not the religion but man's deceptiveness? Or their claim is enough to put the blame of their misdeeds on the religion?

airmark:
Eph12 is back with impressive posts, unbelievable.

Something dey your head. So when I call out frauds, my posts become unimpressive abi?

simonjassy:
I was born in a christian home but i cannot consider myself one,as i never officially gave my life to christ.

See your post below

simonjassy:
would you care to explain how?.
Cause the bastards looting naija are religious people oh.who have heard the tenets and practices of their religion for years.
I know very little about islam,but i can tell you that the forgiveness clause in christianity makes it easier for the christian looters to reconcile their actions with their faith i.e if they ever believed in the 1st place.

Did these ones tell you "they gave their lives to Christ"?

donjazet:
I highly doubt the bolded, saying that a couple who have lived together for years under one roof have NEVER QUARRELED in front of the kids at is highly doubtful.

However, I understand the point you are trying to pass across.
The truth is that such an inter-religious marriage is very rare to come across, so when it does happen, it means that the couple really love themselves to have married against all odds faced in the society, so psychologically, an us-versus-them mentality forms which strengthens and holds the bond between the couple.

Definitely any child from such a rare marriage is bound to be more open-minded towards both religion.
Because for the marriage to work, they must have compromised on aspects of their religion and most likely not forced their beliefs on the children.

My parents never quarreled in front of us. I know of a time dad was pissed but they went to the room to sort it out.

You're talking about a marriage between a Christian and a Muslim, what about one between an atheist and a religious person? Won't the constant prayers in the home irritate you? Will you ever want to participate?

Griffon:
Do you expect any rational thought from a man who is obsessed with the promise of a certain heaven or some virgins afterlife?

Those Yahoo boys, stealing people's wealth to buy cars and other luxuries are certainly not doing that because of a certain heaven or some virgins afterlife

donjazet:
As someone posted earlier, at THIS POINT, going to vote for a third party candidate is a waste of time when you know the impossible odds of that candidates number making a dent not to talk of winning, however one can still enact change in other people's mind by relentlessly educating and informing others of the need for change both in person and on social media. On my watsapp, facebook, twitter and instagram page, I constantly advocate for radical change in our political and religious mindset. Overtime, more will key into this.

I have made a lot of people around me start questioning what they believe, that's effective work if you ask me.

What's your Twitter handle?

gensteejay:
Those shallow-minded people above can't see the importance of this, unless you join politics and contest for a post. As far as they are concerned, you must be a politician to contribute to nation-building.

That's the sort of warped mentality we're taking about.

What other ways are there and which one are you participating in so some of us can start to contribute our own quota

madrid5:
1.superstion
2.lack of scientific literacy (very necessary in national development)
3.bigotry(there are people especially in the north who don't vote for people outside their religion,gays are basically regarded as sub humans are their sexuality are illegal subject to death or imprisonment, acholic drinks are destroyed in the north etc)

1. How is superstition a problem? Is this superstitious problem peculiar to Nigeria/Africa alone?

2. Some religious people that are doing very well in medicine, tech, agriculture. How come if religion is supposed to prevent scientific literacy?

3. We're divided by selfish people looking to pursue their own agenda. This same northerners voted Obasanjo, no?

Are you a Christian or a Muslim or you were once one?

afrodoc2:
After investigating the lineups and heat maps as well as reviewing archival footage. My judgement is that this is the most accurate assessment of the situation.

We play a double pivot of 4-2-3-1 which makes determining who is DM very difficult.

Matic and anybody = Matic is DM and the other person is CM

Pogba and anybody = Pogba is CM and the other person is DM

Fred and McTominay = Pure double pivot essentially with Fred covering the left and McTominay covering the right. However in more than half of the games together heat map shows Fred more active in slightly more defensive positions while McTominay more active in slightly more offensive positions.
In many of the games it is just too difficult to tell. In double pivot you usually have 2 CDMs and not the obvious division of labour you might see in a 4-3-3 with DM, CM, AM.

This is why the same whoscored that said McTominay played DM 19 times and CM 3 times also says Fred played DM 21 and CM 6 times, and Pogba played DM 8 times and 2 sub appearances with 0 appearance as CM.
Essentially saying all of them played mainly DM this season and CM very few times.

Exactly! Maybe Tom is meant to be a DM, but for United, we don't have a traditional DM unless Matic plays as he does not have the energy to take advanced positions during play and still fall back. From watching our matches, I already know that when both Fred and Tom plays, one takes the left side of the midfield and the other the right side. Both take turns to cover the center too when needed. That's why I don't see them as a Dm especially when you look at how Carrick and co play DM back then.

Nowadays sef I feel position on the field is scam. I believe people should pay attention to roles more. Your position may say DM but during the match your role is not exactly that. Just look at them saying Pogba played DM

I don't see Fred or Tom as dm. And to compare midfielders, you have to look at their overall stats, not just a part

Greatihex:
This is what is called, anticipation and game reading. It is only done by players with sense.

So many other players do this na, haba

Skimpledawg:
Happy Sunday all.


For heavens sakes, make your argument make sense and thats if you must argue. Sme us are reading please.


Too much shalayes, tautaulogies and repeating the same line of argument won't make you look smart.

Take note.

Lol you'll be back to complain again. Always complaining

My understanding of zonal marking, you mark the ball. Attack the ball if it gets to your zone. Man marking, your focus is more on the player you're marking. I may be wrong sha

Expert17:
I played professional football (goalkeeper) at some stage..

So when am telling you stuffs about defending......please stop arguing.

1. The way opponent plan to attack a corner, might determine if you gonna use Zonal marking or not.

2. When a man enter your zone/area in zonal marking, ... Thats your man......so you can loose your man, ( example, Maguire beating Rudiger to the ball and scoring against Chelsea)

In Zonal marking, you are assigned to a zone/area in the field..... The opponent will assign them selve to each zone, ... Thereby leading to you having a man to mark.

And if two men enter your zone?

airmark:
See Ferdinand looking like mumu. If it was VVD, you, nitrogen and raumdeuter wouldn't let us hear word.

What happened to looking over his shoulder and tracking Messi's run since he was the only threat unmarked and closer to him, before the cross?

I can give multiple gifs where VVD tracked such runs and headed the ball to safety (pro-activeness). But to you, nothing is there in nodding aerial balls away. You no know ball

Well I'm sure Ferdinand has done that multiple times too.

ChristineC:
this was LvG's default and it was almost never dominated. scratch that, it was never dominated and Fellaini was a huge part of it.

compare Fellaini and Henderson. this is Henderson's best season, by ............. far. at least Big Fella was a consistent menace. for the British press to even push Henderson's name forward is an embarrassment to all past winners of the award.

I do not care about BBC award

raumdeuter:
Is doing better than any LFC midfielder = Doing better than everyone in Liverpool? Especially when midfield isnt the best department in Liverpool FC

If you say Walker has done better than Any City defender does that mean he is the best player in City?

I never said Henderson is the best player in LFC. I dey craze? I only said for LFC to be dominating other teams, the midfield is certainly doing something right and Henderson is a huge part of that midfield. Then you guys say he's not the best midfielder in LFC this season. OK who is the best midfielder in LFC this season and why?

raumdeuter:
How will you rate the Liverpool first 11 in their importance to the team this season. I am trying to see where Henderson will rank

My point is all these Henderson hype is media work not based on what he does on the field for Liverpool

Can anyone here who has watched Liverpool this season before the media hype say that Henderson was their best player when he watched those games

Henderson has done better than other midfielders in lfc this season, no?

raumdeuter:
How else should he be appreciated? Do you think Wijnaldum is appreciated enough

Rank the Liverpol players by their importance to the team

For me I will rank , Mane Salah Trent Robertson, VVD, Alisson, Fabinho Wijnaldum Henderson in that order. This season I can relegate Alisson and Fabinho because of their injuries but there is no way Henderson has done more than all those.

If you dont rate Henderson as the best in Liverpool, how come he is "voted" the best in the league and that makes any sense

I will pick Wijnaldum over him

I have no business with him being voted as the best in the league. I am not trying to defend that. He wouldn't even be in my top 5.

I am looking at their stats and I don't see how Wijnaldum has contributed more to LFC even though he is allowed to roam more than Henderson. Henderson has better defensive and attacking stats, probably passing stats too. Remember we are talking about this season, not the last decade.

Expert17:
Liverpool

Touches= 2nd in EPL

Passes = 2nd in EPL

Through-balls= 5th

Clean sheet= 1st

Possession = 2nd

21 goals conceded so far

And the midfielders (Henderson and co ) are not good.... Analyst full nairaland

Apparently they're not contributing enough to lfc success.

Leyqute:
What does that have to do with the discussion?

Liverpool’s attack and defense have had a greater contribution to team success than their midfield this season.

A midfield that doesn't get dominated creates a very excellent platform for the attackers to operate. The full backs can even afford to join in the attack. Anyways you've avoided talking about how lfc midfield is hardly ever dominated because it doesn't suit your agenda. Make we die the topic then

BlueRayDick:
Do u know the initial trial lasted 12 years before he was finally convicted?

If the initial trial lasted 12 years what stops the retrial from lasting that long?

1. They will start all over again which is a waste of tax payers money

2. This retrial provides enough time for his lawyers to figure out defence for a whole lot of stuff they couldn't defend in the initial trial. The probability of getting a conviction by the EFCC counsel will be very slim

3. The long time the retrial will take is enough time for a change of government and OUK joining the winning team paving way for his case in court to quashed and he forgiven to go and sin no more.

4. Honestly the whole charade of the initial trial, his conviction and this supreme court nullifying it is a slap on the face of Abians and Nigerians in general

OUK is in the current winning team, didn't stop the conviction

raumdeuter:
Henderson has always been their captain.

Be honest, before the media campaign for Henderson, when you rate Liverpool players by their contribution to the team success over the past 3 seasons and this season did you rate him in Liverpool top 5?

I am not even certain he is the best midfielder in Liverpool and surely he is not the best player in Liverpool

Beside the narrative that Liverpool finally won the league and their captain was the best player in the league that season I can't see why Henderson should be top 11 in the league

I never ever considered Henderson as the best player in any sort, I just don't think he's appreciated enough. Which lfc midfielder has been better than him this season? How do you explain a midfield that almost never gets dominated?

Leyqute:
You know what I mean. I’m talking about influencing game outcomes. Not influence over other players.

There isn’t a huge difference between VVD and Maguire this season but VVD has had more success on the pitch than him.

VVD has had more success because of the team he's in, no?

BlueRayDick:
I guess this finally shows all 3 arms of government in Nigeria are faulty.

So a judge knowing fully well he’s been promoted from federal high court to Appeal court still passed a judgement in a federal high court case
. Honestly something is wrong in this country.

Now the whole trial and prosecution was an effort in futility. That’s a waste of tax payers money. Is there not supposed to be an inquiry panel or something to be set up to look into this and unravel how we ended up here?

Now a criminal like Orji Uzor Kalu will walk free not because the charges against him are untrue, but because of mere technicalities like a judge forgetting which court he actually presides over now.

Naija Na wa o

I thought I read "order a retrial" there?
