Kreemak: I hope the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war is not affecting life in Russia generally
Nah, not really. Stocking up on locally made stuff and lots of goodies from friendly country = China. Salaries paid on time Pension paid on time, was recently increased Ruble appreciating Everybody going about their bizdness, mostly anyway.
Emmynator: I have seen alot of people on whatsapp boasting about blocking Tinubu supporters in their CL, doesn't make sense to me. Election comes and goes. It should affect our relationships.
I asked this question, several days ago, where is all the hate coming from?
Ibime: I'm not ready to argue with you. Kepa is sprawled on the floor, off balance, you say shield ball to pesin wey done drop like who drink two bottles of ogogoro. Any defender not knowing who is on his back will clear a ball the keeper spills out, it happens very often. Those "shield ball" for keeper incidents is for when keeper is on his feet and alert.
The main problem is simply Felix getting swatted aside like a fly.
I am ready to argue this one. Shield the freaking ball and let your keeper carry ball. There was no need to even move but instead he panicked.
Yes Felix was a weakling there but problem started from Enzo's boot.
This is not an argument about Enzo's quality as a player, I support him 100% but right there, he made a mistake. EOD.
Sportsweb: What I dreaded most is currently happening. I knew that these new shiny toys that came in January will soon cast if they continue playing under this talentless coach.
Mudryk was literally playing like Prime Hazard in the first game, today he is Timo Werner
João Felix first two games were very good, Today he is now a big livability, can't even create chances again
Enzo Fernandes is now becoming Jorginho.
Madueke and co no sign of improvement.
Badiashile that was rock in his first few matches was very shaky in his last game. He made a lot of mistakes.
The more the play for Potter, their chances of turning into Mount and Havertz
Ibime: Shield what ball when Kepa has made a save and is sprawled on the floor
Shielding back to Kepa was never an option because Kane could to that ball before Kepa gets off the floor. Nobody is going to take the chance of a sprawled keeper shifting his body in time to get that ball at that speed
The only thing you could say is he could play it for throw
The main weakness in that movie is Felix who the ball was played to and did not have enough strength to win the ball, or enough sense to use his body to unbalance Skipp. Felix was favourite for that ball and was swatted aside like a weakling. That's the main problem, nothing else
The ball was right in front of Kepa. Look at the image again. He basically took the ball off Kepa and there was no need to.
The second option was throw-in and lastly corner which would have even been easier but not my preferred option.
He had to turn to boot that ball....Go and watch again.
Felix too fall hand but he was never going to get that ball, he ain't physical.
The genesis of the problem started with Enzo.
I am ready to argue with you on this all day and night.
raumdeuter: He needed the right time and this was the perfect time
In 1999 he won Lagos State governor
In 2003 when OBJ deceived all SW governors and the AD to not float their candidate that they should support him and in turn he will ensure they retain their seat, Tinubu disagreed with AD leaders on that arrangement. tsunami swept all AD governors only Tinubu survived
He left AD, formed his own party AC and he was the only governor
By 2007 to grow the party he reached out to Oshiomole offered him the AC ticket in Edo vs Prof Osunbor. Oshiomole lost
Atiku and OBJ got into a fight a major fight, Atiku was in charge of PDM he was the strongest Northern politician and as the heir to Yar Adua, OBJ used YarAdua younger brother Umaru to break Atikus hold on PDM Tinubu saw an opportunity to woo a powerful politician and get on his good side, he gave Atiku a platform to contest the 2007 election obviously Atiku had no path to win. He made Ben Obi Atikus vice. They lost but Tinubus profile started rising
He sponsored candidates in AC all over Nigeria. He brought many politicians treated badly and denied a ticket into his fold e.g Ngige Akume
He brought Fashola a technocrat as governor but didn't hand over the political keys to him
Fasholas performance became the standard for ACN to campaign and win many hearts across the nation
The criminal elections of 2007 conducted by Obasanjo which was reputed to be the worst election in Nigerian history handed Tinubu a huge opportunity He found an ally in Justice Salami of the appeal court who was instrumental in restoring the Oshiomole and Fayemi and Aregbesola into power
AC grew into 4 states.
Mimiko of Labour Party who was denied the ticket was also in tribunal vs Agagu. Tinubu approached him to provide logistic support with belief that Mimiko will decamp into ACN. Mimiko won but declined to join ACN
By 2011 Tinubu spread beyond the SW approached strong politicians who were denied a ticket or chased out of strong parties but knew he couldn't take on the FG alone at this time. He was the 3rd force in 2011
Buhari controlled all Northern states with his new CPC, Jonathan and PDP controlled most SE NC and SS states
CPC and PDP were stalemate here comes tie breaker Tinubu.
Buhari in his idealistic thinking felt he could do by picking Bakare a Pastor with zero structures. He didn't agree to Tinubus terms.
GEJ saw the opportunity approached Tinubu who tactically floated a dummy Ribadu and Fola Adeola(2 moslems) who weren't going anywhere. Tinubu stepped down all ACN machinery in the SW and allowed the PDP a free ride.
Now he has become a major power broker who tacticallyade Jonathan president without appearing to.
Buhari lost again and started crying on TV and was hopeless. As a man of strategy Tinubu knew Buhari was at his low and vulnerable, he approached Buhari this time Bubu was more than willing
Tinubu started the cleanup of Buharis image from a clueless out of touch military religious extremist guy to this misunderstood charming, introvert, gap toothed, strong man that Nigeria needed at this critical time to get rid of corruption and PDP in discipline
Thus APC was birthed with the plan to use Buharis popularity with Tinubus money and skilled politicking to push Buhari into power but this time Tinubu was to pick Buharis vice.
APC also won over Atiku after he lost out in PDP and breakaway PDP governors. Atiku came into the convention ground hoping to buy the ticket as usual Buhari has never done any real competitive primary in a party everyone didn't worship him. Primary ground Buhari was stunned about how Atiku was about to steal the ticket right there with money . Until Tinubu matched Atiku dollar for dollar and Buhari won the ticket
Now the deal was for Tinubu ACN to provide the Vice. Buhari asked Tinubu to give him 3 options.
Tinubu knew he was interested in succeeding Buhari. And giving a strong vice would build up the Vice politically over 8yrs and might build enough goodwill to succeed Buhari This was Tinubus biggest masterstroke. He gave Buhari an Osinbajo who was smart but has the political clout of a 13yr old girl. Osinbajo was a very safe choice, he was not popular nor charismatic enough to gather the clout to state Jagaban in the face
There were other options like Fashola and Fayemi but they were risky and could get ambitious and endear themselves to people
Buhari asked Tinubu for 3 choices, Tinubu returned with one choice an unknown Yemi Osinbajo who will complete 8yrs and have less to nothing in political power to challenge for the seat
You can see it was a gradual ascension filled with scheming gambit which he lost some but won many
I can write a book on this man called Jagaban who many people do not like but smart people deeply respect
He understands politics. He is smart enough not to fight anyone thus always leaving the room for reconciliation open, the power of compromise give & take and when to use the power of money
OK, I am still digesting this. How did you know all these and any way of fact checking any of this wealth of information?
OasisX, please find me a strong meme to salute this guy. Please biko.
GloriousGbola: tinubu has always been Machiavellian and a politician - no permanent friend, no permanent enemy - just permanent interest.
in 2011 , ACN presented nuhu ribadu as their candidate
at the last minute, ACN cut a deal with GEJ and all ACN states but osun voted for GEJ in the election but today ribadu is still friends with Tinubu.
and in 2015, ACN joined with CPC to form APC and exit same GEJ
Wow. Is he (Tinubu) THAT good as they claim he is? if yes, why has it taken him this long to contest for the presidency or is that another political masterclass?
popizaino: Let get things straight. Yes the smartest thing to do there is to sheild the ball for Kepa but he might not have been aware that there was no danger at his back as seen from how he quickly try to clear the ball away from the area.
This kind of scenario happens very well in football that doesn't even result to goal in 99.9% of the time so why are we so particular about this one when it's such a rare occurrence.
What happened there was not any players fault. I will be the first person to call out a player when he is not dutiful in his duty but this one here is a non-starter.
Lastly,Oga Balogun pls join the regular trolls here,you have taken it upon themselves as duty to be be looking for every reason to vilify Enzo Fernandez since we bought him and discarded their favourites. They watch every game to magnify the simplest of thing fails he doesnt do and turn a big blind eye to everything he does well.
You are barking up the wrong tree. I have never blamed Enzo for anything other than that obvious mistake which anyone (even those new to football) will quickly grasp that the best option is to shield the ball or at least safety first. Any shove from the back he will fall and the ref will definitely blow but it shouldn't even get to that. Must we spew this out for you? Come on man. You provided a clip and I analysed it for you. I'm truly disappointed but hey, who cares anyway. Have a nice day.
Jodera: The easiest and obvious thing is the number 1. Any other option means he didn't trust the keeper at all.
Man had to literally dribble Kepa just so he couldn't catch it, then his option is to clear it and not even as far away as possible. And Popi thought that's the best option.
Wahalaeux
I just posted a gif for him to look at.
I don't even know what he is looking at sef. I mean that's pretty obvious, no?
popizaino: Winning your eye test did not change anything about my view concerning football, I see it just the way any objective minded person should see it.
We should looking for blames were there is none. Moment like the clearance from Enzo happens in every other times in games that ends up with nothing and even sometimes turns out advantageous. So you can not bin this rare occurrence that it happened against us as his fault.
Now watch the highlights below,notice the ball shot from horjberg in the 46secs that was cleared off by James to cornekick. If Tottenham had scored from the resulting cornekick will you have blamed James for not leaving Kepa to go for the initial catch rather than clearing it out for corner?
There is NOTHING remotely objective about it. Nothing.
I don't have the watch the highlights again cos every time I do, it just make me question Enzo's IQ. Like what the heck man!
But let's see
1. 39 secs - Shot from J Felix, Foster saves, drops and then catches the ball again. No pressure but Romero (Number 11) could have attempted to do strong head carry ball go, did he? No, he just did enough to prevent Sterling from the ball and you could see that Sterling already turned away. No chance. 2. 46 secs - James rightfully cleared the ball away as we told you, kicking it to safety is the key there. Kepa was rooted to the spot, had no idea what was going on, how is that so hard to understand? 3. Now look at this and tell me what business does Enzo have taking that ball?
Bluelines69: The way Peter Obi supporters get money now eeehn, " Afterall I no go suffer am” " No come my side if you need anthing " E be like them share una money ooo, billionaires
And the same people will be here speaking Moral English.
Jodera: Na so e deh with lovely shiny new players. They're always immune to criticism even if what they did wrong was glaring.
I'm quite surprised Popi said that.
I mean that was obvious. 3 options. 1. Shield the ball so your keeper can save the rebound 2. Boot it wide as far as you can - pata pata throw-in 3. If no further option - corner dey dia (though that's not my preferred option but still an option)
However you look at it, what he did was NOT the right option.
popizaino: I just saw the highlight of our yesterday match and you will be completely stupid to blame Enzo for the first goal conceded.
@raumdeuter and jodera was that what two of you were masturbating about yesterday?
Pls don't mention me if you know you won't be objective. I am here to learn and teach not here for trolling.
Bro, I know that we've been on the same page ever since you won the eye test competition but nna mehn, I am taking the trophy from you for making a statement like this. Say wooot!
BlaqFaze: In this election is either you are a patriotic citizen by voting obi or a fuul...tribal bigot...animal...sheep... slave by voting Tinubu/Atiku.
It's funny because from NW, NE, NC to SW, SS are being contested by Pdp Apc Nnpp and Lp.
But Se is solely Lp....
I have a simple question, who's the tribal bigot here?
Or you are an abrodian and not Nigerian enough. what da heck!
Segedinho: That's d beauty of it...... Anyone (Atiku BAT or Obi) will work cos d people are gradually showing up with Madness.
They will be pressured to work to remain relevant... the emergence of Obi has really helped....
Wish dis election was relatively fair ...All d Politicians including d giants for don dey piss for body due to its uncertainty
Thanks for this. It's good to know that at least some are still able to think properly and not allow their emotional insecurity cloud their judgement. This election is an indication that you can't just come and take the people for granted. How on earth is that a bad thing? And any electoral irregularities should be challenged with proof, not with fake news or if you feel it doesn't suit your preferred candidate. Some of us are just following the events for the need to know - What's next for this country. But some emotional unstable beings will come here and be shouting up Nepa! Totally irrelevant to the discuss.
Are you blind to all the complaints abi this feeds your bias? 😁
You sir are blind. I said on a good day do you know what that means? i.e, Generally speaking, we've had interesting results - different from all that projection shitzo! What bias do I have?
imo on a good day, this is how an election should be, - close, intriguing, challenging - it will evidently make politicians work hard for their positions and at least try to perform if they eventually win.
