Politics › Re: Transfer: Chelsea Set To Offload Jackson, Madueke, 8 Others [See List] by Fred2020: 9:43am On Jun 28, 2025

Sonnobax15:

Long overdue..

Players wey dey miss one on one goals for a living

In fact, Chelsea should ensure that that werey Jackson doesn't leave Stamford bridge with a Chelsea jersey.....very untalented mofafacker......

Jackson is not bad for a sub. He has energy, he is brave on the attack and there is room for improvement.

Did you see him play for senegal against England?

This very short term view was what made chelsea lose out on the prime form of players like de bruyne and Mo Sallah

The players are fairly young, give them time to grow

Presco was full bid but no offer about 5days ago. Today, it is on full offer but no bid.

I find this very confusing, Does anyone know why these big swings happen? I have checked and seen nothing about Presco over the past few days.

You guys don’t rate your country at all. Nigeria is actually the 3rd ranking military power in Africa and the 33rd in the world. If no be corruption and tribalism Nija no small at all. We have the resources to be a top 10 global superpower but we Dey underachieve because of tribalism

Nigeria cant be 3rd.

Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Morocco definitely rank above Nigeria.

Nigeria just has a large land army albeit very poorly equipped and trained

Chai,most of you dont even know Nigeria has air defense systems in place,we even have missile launchers.

Keep underrating your country,the only reason they can't defeat terrorists is tribalism.

Nigeria does not have the radar network and coverage required to support missile based air defence systems.

Our AD systems are primarily gun based ones like Shilka. Would only work for low flyingg objects within the visual range of the operator

Since the war between Iran and Israel broke out, I have been hearing of how air defense system were able to intercept missiles fired by the other countries. The question that came into my mind was does Nigeria possess such mechanism in case of any eventuality?

Nigerian air defence system are typically short range gun-based defence system like the shilka.

To optimally use a missile-based defence system, you need very good radar networks/coverage as missile based systems work beyond visual range and rely extensively on the radar network to hit its target.

Also, Nigeria lacks the skilled technicians required to maintain such complex systems.

Nothing I mean nothing is too much for Qatari government to acquire. The country is super duper rich.

No country in the middle east operates patriot AD with PAC 3 interceptors. If the USA intercepted the missiles, why is Qatar taking credit for it? They are probably all acting drama.

Iranians have been crossing the English channel in their tens of thousands since Covid. It's not a new phenomenon.

Thankfully I don't live anywhere near Dover, Clacton or any of the areas earmarked to house irregular migrants.

Also, Labour is proposing moving them out of hotels and into rental accommodation paid for by the government.

This makes little sense, but at this point , Labour is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find "results".

I expect they will up their rhetoric against legal migrants to compensate for the worsening illegal migration numbers as the election approaches.

The worst thing Starmar did was scrap the Rwanda plan without having something concrete on the ground as a deterrence.

Reform has taken control of several councils in England. They've got the platform, the power, and the purse strings (at least locally). If they genuinely have better solutions to housing shortages, council tax burdens, or social care challenges, now’s their chance to prove it.

I expect the other parties to continually signpost the wider public to on-reform councils to demonstrate how radically better they are.

Iranians do not hide its casualties even if its a top figure.

Someone should pls tell me why isreal is still hiding death of its mossad director and other top agents.

How can mossad hqtrs be bombed yet no single casualties,the same hqtrs used for command and control.

dont think mossad would be that daft to stay in their official office during a war in which the feature prominently and have been the spear-tip of Israel's assault.

Its israel's leadership in electronic and human intelligence gathering that makes it possible to carry out such precise assasinations. Iran likely lacks the ability to match israel in this field

Wales may not offer you the best work opportunities, although it may be more affordable to live and work there.

Living cost is low but so are wages. So, getting a job that pays the minimum going rate for a skilled worker visa is trickier to get there, and when you find such jobs, you will find many locals competing for it, because such wage would look competitive for them.

Also, with the proposed changes to immigration, the "care visa route" would no longer by available to those on graduate visas.

Anyone open to taking on an accounting assistant in London (but 2-3 days WFH) .

Pay should be about £35K - £40K.

Sponsorship is not offered but company holds a sponsorship licence.#

Must have accounting experience but does not need to be qualified.

Ah, I'm not judging anyone for how revealing or modest their clothing is.
I’ve just noticed that traditional South African attire tends to be more revealing, and I’m genuinely curious about the reason behind that.

In pre-colonial West Africa, breasts were like elbows—just… there. Nobody was writing love letters to them."

"But Western schooling came in hot with the censorship, and boom—suddenly people needed bras and shame."

"Meanwhile, the bottom half? That’s where the real sense of modesty always lived." In this part, I hold the view there was an expectation that they are well covered.

So how is it like being a Yobo baby with the amount of tribalism happening there between the two tribes?

There’s a lot of ethnic and religious bigotry on display on nairaland, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect the reality on the ground in Nigeria — at least not yet, thankfully. On a day-to-day basis, people generally get along with others from all backgrounds, especially when it’s in everyone’s best interest — as it should be.

Unfortunately, Nairaland — thanks to its extremely loose moderation — has allowed a handful of openly bigoted users to hijack most discussions and steer them in divisive directions. It’s become such a recurring pattern that this toxicity now defines almost every topic on the platform, regardless of the original subject.

They're cultural without any modern influence... I was going to show you pictures of Bapedi girls from back in the 1800 so that that you can see how they also dressed the same way, but unfortunately, I've reached my daily limit and I can't post anymore pictures... I was also going to show you our modernized girls' attires.

The Pedi girl's upper attire is called muphamana and it is made up of reeds, feather reed grass, if I'm not mistaken while her lower front attire is called lebole, it's made up of woven fiber and the back attire is called ntepa, it's made up of cow hides... They're all hand made by Pedi elderly men and women.

Nigerians' ancestral attires were also revealing, so I don't know why you're acting so confused... In fact, what's your tribe? I want to check something.

It's possible I'm wrong here; I'm not sure you'll find many cultures in East, Northern and West Africa with dresses that are revealing (for females), notwithstanding the warmer climate...probably it has to do with the early onset of Christian and muslim missionaries to these regions.

Regardless I will like to see if you find any one similar within these regions.
