If you still have the mind I can stop it whenever I want then you can never be free.

All you need is to go to a therapist or NDLEA rehabilitation center.

That cool

JuanDeDios:
No, paying them is not better.
They could be paid. I'm not against that. I'm saying there are more important things to put in place.

Which more important thing than equipping the battalions of Youth without job and skills as result joining Boko Haram and Kidnapping? You don't anything.

JuanDeDios:
Dear Minister Maruf Tunji Alausa. Good thinking trying to revive that sector. But you don't need to pay them.

Furnish and equip the schools. Get good teachers for them - import teachers if you have to. Then come up with a ranking system for artisans - from apprentice to grandmaster. In fact, copy the German model. (In Germany, technicians are as respected as engineers.) These are more important that paying people to attend.

Paying them is better because there poverty in the land and most youth don't want to learn hand work.

Thus a welcome development. Technical skills are needed. The fact you are paid to learn will remove all our youths driving okada, kekenape etc to get skilled.

Bandirao:
I challenged you to name me one yoruba Muslim scholar but you keep quiet it is highly unlikely to be Muslim for more than two centuries and not to produce a well known personality.
And honestly you lied the first Muslim King to convert to Islam was :
nWest Africa, the first Muslim king to convert to Islam is often considered to be War Jabi, also known as Abu Bakr, who was the King of the Takrur Empire (present-day Senegal) in the 10th century. While the first borno mai to accept Islam is mai hummay jilmi In the eleven century.
What is more Fulani are always credited as having the first to start using ajami scripts and spread it to other peoples in West Africa.

And also you aways keep priding that you defeated the Fulani at oshogbo yes that is one battle but decisive when all the yoruba state gang up against one small emirate like Ilorin what you will expect?
Historically we never fought a one war even gobir was sacked only in 1809 after the first jihad in 1804, if the Fulani decided to attack yoruba in the second half of the 19th century century the story will be a different one today, because you all dissipated your energy fighting the useless ijaye war.

The British are the only reasoned the sokoto caliphate did not conquered all of Nigeria from Sahara to Atlantic ocean.

I didn't take notice of the bolded. Mr man, Otefan battle in 1830 was between the entire Sokoto Caliphate led by Usman dan fodio's son and they were crushed. The reason Usaman was never interested in another war with Yoruba. That was not even the whole army of Yorubas oo.

🦅🇳🇬 Victor Boniface is the first Nigerian footballer to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

He's now officially the highest paid player in the Nigerian national team with an estimated annual salary of €15M! 🤑

Yes it came to pass. The moment Ibadan was weakened, the British were able to penetrate the Yoruba hinterlands. The Ijebus also losts their status of being the middle man between the British and the Yoruba hinterlands. This status had made them very wealthy; hence' the saying "Kekere ijebu owo ni, agba ijebu owo ni".

The British now finished off and conquered a weakened Ijebu too in the British-Ijebu war (1892)

which came after Kiriji. A united Yorubaland would have been too much for them. Lagos was the first to be captured in 1852.

The British now controlled the trades of palm oil, cocoa and other cash crops themselves to ship to England and other British colonies.

The British were waiting patiently in Lagos hoping both parties got worn out due to the effects of the war. They even sold weapons to both parties. It showed they knew what they were doing.

British could not had withstood the combined forces of Yorubas. The Lagos war thought them Yorubas are not easy to crack.

Just as the Egba was settling from the Owiwi war, the Ibadan regrouped In 1834, to attack the Egba people. The battle is known as Arakanga war.

The war is significant in Yoruba History, as it’s one of the few battles that lasted for up to a decade. The war gave birth to many conflict and blockade in Yoruba Land.
A fearless, ruthless Ijaiye war chief, Kurunmi, and Ayo of Abemo assisted the Ibadan people during the battle of Arakanga but were defeated by the egba warriors led by Sodeke.

Kurunmi was a warrior that was feared across Yoruba Land. He had just killed Ife warriors in Ibadan, Degesin, Oginni, and Maye Okunade, who was accused of favouring one Yoruba group to another and also waged war against the Owu refugees in which the Olowu was executed.

Although Ibadan was waging war against Ipetumodu during the Owiwi war, Ibadan still sent the army units with help from Ota to wage war against the Egba. Nevertheless, They were heavily defeated during their campaign at Oniyefun.

During the Owiwi war, it is believed that the Ijebu and Egbado were following instructions from Ibadan to attack egba.
To perpetuate the destruction of the Egbas, the Ibadan teamed up with the Ijebu and Egbado to wage war against the egbas. Still, Ibadan warrior was on different war expedition at this time, which made Ibadan asked Ota and Ado for help.

Ibadan first launched an attack against the egba at Arakanga river in Abeokuta but was routed by Sodeke led egba warriors.

The Egba won the battle, although they couldn’t settle from the Owiwi war. After the Egba people had won the Arakanga river’s battle, they knew the Owiwi war, which they had with the Ijebus, had not finished.

The Arakanga war – The Egba warriors Counter-Attack
The Egba warriors counter-attacked the Remo town in Iperu, destroying it. After destroying Remo, The Egba warriors moved to Ota, where they took control of the city.

Some Ibadan warriors under Oluyole came to rescue Ota from the Egbas but were heavily defeated by the egba warriors.

After the fall of Ota, The Egbas started the blockade of the town Ado.

The Egba battle against Ota and Ado is due to their support against them during the Owiwi war.

Adele forces were refused passage at Ado, and Adele had already started a war against them before the Ibadan warriors regrouped.
Meanwhile, immediately the Egba warriors defeated Remo and Ota; they went to Ado to support Adele, leading to the town’s blockage until about 1845.

Iperu was never sacked by any major force him her history until British came.

Ogedengbe wasn't lanky though.

Caption: Ogedengbe of Ilesha, recently arrested by Captain Bower.

Yes, he was an albino but powerful. That film suppose get part 1 to 10 because matter long.

The movies should be centered on the purpose of the war which was the unification of all Yoruba tribes on the part of Oyo through proxy of Ibadan while it is emancipation from slavery on the part of Ekiti parapo.

Ibadan and Oyo wanted to enslave other parts of Yorubaland forcefully. That was a wrong notion though it would have been good if all tribes were peaceful united under an agreed terms where all will be free.

What actually motivated Ibadan into unification was because of a prophecy from one diviner that said if Yorubaland is not United, a white skinned people will rule them.

The prophecy actually came to pass.

Kimbeast:
Spread to ball to this position? Take a look at the position Jackson was able to get that awful pass into control.

He doesn't need to control that ball. That was amateurish.

Kimbeast:
The keeper is already exposed. You are trying to defend a totally bad pass with something incomprehensible. A simple square ball to the feet of Jackson and that's a goal. That was a dump pass.

That pass is not bad enough to pass the ball into the net.

lordfalcao:
if Jackson was in Palmer’s position and decided to pass won’t you tell us that he was afraid to shoot?

Mancity’s 3rd goal, was foden looking for who to pass to when Chalobah was catching up with him?

Palmer can't be absolved of blame either. They both messed up.

There was nobody Foden could pass to. Nevertheless, he did a good job.

Kimbeast:
The pass was goddamn ridiculous and stupid. Palmer shares 80% of the blame for that missed opportunity. A simple ball and Jackson scores with his first touch.

Do you expect Palmer to pass the ball at that spot when the keeper is still covering the post? It seems you never play football before.

That was not not the best position to pass the ball. Palmer deliberately made the keeper draw out of position to expose the goalkeeper and enable Jackson to just slot the ball him.

Palmer move is world class. An astute technical genius player.

.

Kimbeast:
Stop looking at fake still images that doesn't show you the pace of the ball. Here's the highlight of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJKOBsBMvcg?si=I7Or3Rbe70jXO0ss


Fast forward to the Palmer pass and screenshot the exact moment Jackson was able to get that ball under control. That's how you would know how ridiculous that Palmer pass was. Take a look at Jackson position in both screenshots. Palmer pass took Jackson to Armageddon.

Nothing ridiculous about that pass. A natural left footed player would have scored that ball.

The reason it looks like that was because Jackson wanted to control the ball with his right foot because he is more comfortable with it.

A left footed player will easily pass the ball into the net with one touch.

That his decision was ridiculous and amateurish.

Dialogue with bandits that can enter bush again tomorrow if dem broke.

The reason dollar is high is because most politicians are using dollar as means of trading in Nigeria.

They are the ones killing the economy.

Mosco100:
I'm literally sick of you guys. In 1967-70, the Biafran engineers locally managed production of engineering systems to wage war against Nigeria, US, Russia, UK, Egypt etc. in a subtle world war tagged “Nigerian Civil War ”, that was fought in Biafra Land; Yet, in 2025, this is all that Nigerians can see themselves as: hair dressers, plumbers etc. Shameful. You people have finally destroyed Africa.

Stop peddling lies here. Biafra had a long list of countries auding them during the war. Foreigners can and fought for Biafra.

miketayo:
I give up . You need help

You are an ignoramus. There's nothing there to argue blindly. Hope you learn well today.

miketayo:
who are the founding fathers?

Spaniards. Do you know about this? Menh!!! This guy is an ignoramus. Honestly!!!!

So, history of America started in 1760s? Bhuhahahahaha!!!

This is about the unification of 13 colonies to form America. How does that tantamount to the composition of those who migrated from Europe around there between 1490- 1760?

Who were their fathers? Where did they come from? That's the bone of contention.

waternogatenemy:
WE HAVE ALL EVIDENCE DOCUMENTED.

HOW EVERYBODY CAME TO NIGERIA.

WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO, U TAKE WAT BELONGS TO U.


IGBO WAS NEVER LANDLOCKED AND CLEARLY IKWERRE ARE IGBOS.

There was never a country or Nation made up of one ethnic group before the British unified Nigeria.

miketayo:
So, no one in school has told you that Wiki is not a good source of historical information. I can simply log in and rewrite that history.
since you want to go that way you can as well use this :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founding_Fathers_of_the_United_States

Does it change the facts on ground?

This link futher exposed your ignorance. These are those who agreed to unite the colonies to form a constitutional system.

It doesn't change the fact that people were there long before these were born in America. Olodo.

Ballzproblem2:
The reason why Sanchez is getting favored is because he's value has plummeted and is on a 7 years contract,the SDs are trying to raise his value.

I have posted it times without number from what I read from reputable journalist but nobody seems to listen.your maresca is a yes man forget all those bravado he pulls on some players[b],the real decision makers are our directors.Them they used our club play politics[/b].

I know na. Chaiii! I hope we never enter one chance.

miketayo:
who is this one . there are seven men, known as the founders of USA

Who? You are a novice. The seven men were those who fought for independent. They were never founders.

miketayo:
You lack comprehension or you realized you messed up and are now changing your mouth
I was talking about founders. If they weren't from the same country we won't have a country called America today.

Who are the founders? Washington? Bhuhahahahaha! You are such a novice.

Puritans from Europe migrated to settle in what we call America today. Of course, English men were largely part of it.

Ballzproblem2:
The sooner you people understand that maresca isn't pulling the plug the better.

The same set of idiots who said petrovic can't play with fit ,how far now .

Those directors are incompetent both of them

Petrovic is far better than Sanchez. He was the reason we finished to 6th last season.

I don't understand Enzo's reason for opting for Sanchez.

Do the sporting directors have different plan? Because they are the only ones not seeing what everyone is seeing.

miketayo:
So George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and co were not British?
No point continuing this conversation.
Like saying ojukwu was not a Nigerian

Do you lack understanding? I never said English were not among the Puritans. No. All I said was Puritans from other European countries were part of the migration to the new England.


Read before you argue unnecessarily.

Unlimited22:
They will still sign a DM

Plugged holes ASAP.

All that money spent and we still have Sanchez, Chalobah that was rejected, and Jackson as starters.


We have run Enzo and Caicedo into the ground meanwhile we have two DMs doing very well in Europe. Them no Wan recall them because of potential sales.


I was glad when the sporting directors were appointed purely because Boehly isn't a football mind at all but they have proven to be absolute massive disappointments.


Where's our own version of Txiki Begiristain?

The sporting directors are for mid table teams. They are purely for profits.

Imagine spending 1billion dollars but still having mediocre players like Sanchez, those 2 French defenders and wingers. It very nauseating.

They have to get rid of these players and get top, I mean top players.

Enzo and Caicedo needs players to substitute them. It is practically impossible for both to play all the matches in EPL without wearing off.

Unfortunately, Lavia is injury prone hence the need to bring Santos to augment the team.

Are the management blind or something?

It is very glaring Chelsea can't thrive with Sanchez, defenders and Jackson. It is like fetching water with a basket.

The club has been refused to a mid table team. It is very nauseating to see Chelsea going down like the.

See Mancity quickly bought good players to strengthen their team while the management in Chelsea are buying unwanted players just for profit.

These Americans owners should please sell the club a more ambitious owner.

Knowing the management of the club is not thinking in the direction of bringing in a a competent Striker is choking.

For goodness sake, Chelsea needs a top striker. Jackson can't be relied on 100% to deliver.
