Eriokanmi: So was Mikel. He won a golden boot at the same Holland junior tournament. Golden Boot no be for dash. I remember clubs fighting over him then. Suddenly he began depreciating
Mikel is not extraordinary
The extraordinary factor we are talking about is their growth after the tournament not in the tournament. How good they can be when they roll with big boys.
Eriokanmi: Eggzakly. Meanwhile, Mesi who came into a limelight during same Holland tournament with him is still balling and relevant. Wetin dey do African footballer sef?
Messi is extraordinary....how many players in that Argentine squad are still playing today

iko123: The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cancelled its one week sit-at-home order across the South-East. The group said the order was called off following consultations with elders, traditional, and religious leaders from the Southeast.
This was made known in a statement issued on Thursday by the IPOB's spokesperson, Emma Powerful. The group earlier said the sit-at-home exercise across the southeastern part of Nigeria commencing from the eve of Anambra election will hold. IPOB stated that the only option to avert the sit-at-home is if President Muhammadu Buhari’s government releases Kanu on or before November 4. According to Powerful: “Following the genuine intervention of our elders, esteemed traditional Institutions /Rulers and Religious Leaders, and after a due consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement, and sequel to the fact that Our elders have spoken in our terms, the leadership of IPOB hereby and immediately calls off the one week sit-at-home earlier declared to commence tomorrow, November 5 to November 10, 2021. “We have equally considered several appeals by our mothers who earn their living based on their daily economic activities which will obviously be affected if Biafra land is locked down for one whole week. It’s never our intention to add to the pains of our people, hence our decision to suspend the sit-at-home. “IPOB leadership is only interested in our referendum and peaceful agitation for self-determination, and cannot by under any guise be seen to be interfering with any electoral process.” The separatist group urged people of the Anambra State to come out en masse and vote for candidates of their choice on Saturday. “The people of Anambra State should go out en masse and peacefully exercise their franchise come 6th November 20121 and accordingly, chose a leader of their Choice and should not be intimidated by anybody, group of persons or security agents. “Credible intelligence available to us confirmed that the Nigeria DSS has concluded arrangements to deploy a branch of their trained terrorist group to Anambra State come Saturday to unleash mayhem on our people and attribute the killing to peaceful IPOB members. “Anambrarians should vote and standby to protect their votes. No rigging of any kind will be tolerated on the Anambra State governorship election. It must be transparent, free and fair to all. “We wish to thank Biafrans, IPOB members worldwide, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom for their continued support for our dogged struggle for independence,” IPOB said.
JackDaAlienz: If all our DNA is traced to Adam and Eve
That means all of us in this world are brothers and sisters. Since our father is Adam Our mother is Eve Their offspring (All of us) That means the whole world is committing incest by marrying and fucking each other.
No wonder Jesus Christ had to come into Earth in a immaculate conception so as to avoid Mary committing incest by sleeping with joseph
You must be on a fresh joint. Flesh n blood did not reveal this to you
barbstee: A young man by the name ADEBOWALE SIKIRU narrated how he was rejected by the owner of the collapsed Ikoyi building simply because of his religion just minutes before the collapsed!
Someone told my sister that there was a connection for a sales rep. Job in UAE, since she's yet to get a job after her NYSC, (you know how tough Nigeria is now. But it will require her to pay some money for her visa, flight ticket and other necessary documents, but my sister told her that she currently don't have money to process any international papers.
After much discussion this lady told my sister not to worry that all documentations including flight ticket will be paid for her but on a commission fee when she arrived her destination and upon resuming work in UAE, a percentage of her salary will be remitted to them until she pays up the debt incurred.
This was two months ago precisely August. Now fast forward to yesterday 3rd November 2021, I got a WhatsApp message from my sister telling me that she was being forced into prostitution upon arriving and not the sales job as was agreed.
I told her to find a way to come back to Nigeria since she has a return ticket that will expire in 4 days time valid till 8th November 2021.
Now the issue is: 1. Her Boss, as she called her earlier took her passport upon arrival in the pretense that she may misplace it or it may get stolen.
2. Her boss insisted on her paying all the debt incurred in processing her peppers which is 125% extra on what she spent in bringing her to Dubai, which amounts to N3.5 million Naira.
Please is there a way she can return back without her international passport since she went there legally and her return ticket is still valid.
Please we need help as during this altercation since yesterday, I cannot communicate with her as her Boss has seized her phone. It's now a matter of life and death.
Supreme145: I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.
I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.
Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600 Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900 Potato : #500 1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food) 1 packet of maggi : #250 Powder pepper :#100 Onions :#100 Airtime :#100 Total :#2950 The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.
While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.
Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.
Day one: Rice and beans Day two: beans and potatoes Day three: only Rice Day four: porridge potatoes Day five : only beans Day six: Rice and beans Day seven: potatoes and oil Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.
I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted. I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing. I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside. I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.
Added plus: My Girlfriend It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.
My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.
While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life. Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.
I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.
So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.
Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.
YouAreNotAlonE: Honestly family men, women, stay at home moms how are you guys coping in these current harsh economy? The other day a particular woman that in my neighbourhood met me, that she and her children haven't had anything to eat after her husband payed house rent . I had to shell out 7k to give her, you needed to see how she was praying for me. Honestly how do you cope?
The key to surviving this brutal economy is to have an extra stream of income, please if you are a stay at home mom. Think of something doing please the economic situation now doesn't permit sitting at home, look at how gas is on the high side. If you also have a job, please get something to do that would give you an extra income. It ain't easy and I know it, but please if you are privileged to have extra time unlike some of us who only have Saturday and Sunday to ourselves. Please do not abuse it.
Honestly Covid taught me a lesson I will never forget in a long time, that was when I told myself that I must get something doing that will give me an extra stream of income.
Please learn something I know there are a lot of scammers out there posing as online tutors, but if you see something you feel it's legit. Don't dull yourself jump on it, but please avoid all these investment scheme if you don't have the mind for it.
Let me conclude my write-up thus, please learn a skill. It could be coding, mini-importation, marketing, SEO, freelancing skills, anything that is of value. It's Important because the way our country is heading only God and what you know can help you.
asiwaju1981: There isn't anything as non scientific in solution to mathematical problem and there can't be two different answers as well. The correct answer is the one displayed by the calculator following BODMAS rules. QED
Olodo, I was referring to the calculators. Scientific calculator not solution
The solution is configuration based. One follows bodmas while the other didn't
