LiteratureRe: Nairalanders Built Digital Literature Before Everyone Else. We’ll Keep It Alive by germaphobe(m): 11:03am On Jul 07, 2025
Thanks for this. I remember my early days of nairaland, the literature section captivated my mind and interest. I know a lot of great writers that this great platform gave us that I can't really remember their names anymore. I can't talk about nairaland literature section without mentioning guys like yourself, larrysun, coolval(don't really remember his full moniker), Ozila(went ahead to open ozilatales), johnnysky. These 3 made me check out their websites where I met a lot of legendary writers who I also think started from nairaland. The new ones like devilpen1 Big shout out the the ones I can't remember their names, they all helped us in one way or the other. Big s/o to you for this too. Some favourite books from back then are the Black Marie series by Larrysun, the Cartel by Nitefury, the devil who loved me by Toyosi Adeyi, Big appreciation.

Well, let's see how it goes. Going by past events, it wouldn't bode well to make hasty conclusion. My own is Partey shouldn't have gotten himself entagled in situation like this.
exactly, he shouldn't have gotten himself in something as ugly as this, but then C’est la vie

What happens to Innocence until proven guilty?
I'm talking from the screenshot of the chat between him and the lady after the whole thing. I am not a lawyer to twist event and outcome in the court of law. I am talking from a perspective of moral laws. He didn't feel any kind of remorse from the chat they had after the whole thing happened, he felt like it was a normal thing. Of course he can win the case, but that doesn't mean that what he did was right.

I was even thinking it was the woman he married that was behind the rape accusation as at the time it was first reported. Base how it all went down and all. From the screenshot the lady provided, you can see it's not Partey's first nor last victim. Baba felt untouchable.

I think this is the main reason why Partey's contract went down the drain. Just few days of letting him go and uk met finally announced him as the London player they have been keeping tabs on. And evidence dey plenty too. Maybe Arsenal got the info. First and didn't want to have part in the saga.

I liked Kai too but he didn't really serve the purpose as a potent striker which is needed or Xhaka replacement... I won't mind Maduke ( RW deputy ) if his deal won't affect getting a high profile LW and Striker ( Eze or Rodrygo, Sesko or Gyokeres)... Else he tells us story like last summer " Jesus is train different, Moves different and he's a different striker" grin grin cool...

This'll really move the needle in right direction for Arsenal...Mosquera deal will be done soon am optimistic...
somehow I feel confident about a striker joining us this summer. Will Rodrigo play LW if he joins?, he will be comfortable playing there?. That i can't answer. With both our striker preference going to cost around 70m and Ezeh over 60m(though it's can be paid in instalment) i don't think we should get another forward for over 50m. The business side of the game will be affected especially if there's no serious player sales.

This search for a striker no dey even move me shaa, somehow I feel we will surely get one. They placed their eye on 2 of them from the onset and both are willing to come. That's why Berta is dragging the whole thing cus he's probably sure of getting one of them. Na wingers I dey even worry about. Our search for strikers was limited to two names after valuation, but wingers na just rumours upon rumours.

I think I would like Eze deal more since he can deputies for Odegaard and LW...

Maduke own is Arteta being mischievous again when striker was needed he went for Kai (freaking £65m) and some people would still blame the Management... Like how?
You see that Kai deal?, na scam he run us. Talking about midfield and replacing xhaka and then boom na Kai wey no fit do half of what xhaka does. To make it easy for him, he switched him to striker role. I love Kai shaa, as per na Arsenal player and he dey put energy(wey he fit put) for every match but dat decision was off. I'm waiting to see how and where he plays when we finally get a striker this season and with our midfield already jam packed. Eze is a decent player and will provide depth for Odegaard. Rodrigo deal?, I think say na RW he dey play?, would he bench Saka considering the amount we would pay for him?.(that's if it materialise).
Madueke is more realistic as a back up plan, because he can still develop greatly, the skill and talent is there and it won't be seen as outrageous if he's on the bench behind Saka. If kwiwior is leaving I think we should really get that valencia defender. The guy is raw and reminds me of big gabu when we signed him.
Striker, a winger, a defender and a midfielder and I will saybwe had a good summer at the end of it.

This coming season, Ethan should observe MLS and Saka (@17).
As talented as he is, there are many rough edges to sharpen. He needs to get himself involved more.

He has not developed the Pausa and intelligence needed to play on the wing and he doesn't get involved much while at AM.

Dowman is just right behind his heels.
I once told someone that I think Arteta trust skelly more than Nwaneri and he argued it. His reason was that ethan is an attacker and is more involved because he got his debut at 15. But check skelly debut both in the league and ucl, and the minutes he got in both, and you will realise boy is far ahead in Artetas book than Nwaneri at the moment. Even if our defense is complete, I feel like he will gain minutes in midfield more than Nwaneri.

Lol... Na their problem be that.
I already know how it will play out. Tierney is leaving... Zinchenko might leave for Italy. God forbid we have injury crisis in defence. Guess what the song will be... Why didn't Arteta replace Tierney and Zinchenko?

Guess what the song currently is, Arteta spends too much on defenders

Yep
Depth is very important when building a squad. Not just depth but a reliable one. Talking about depth, I hope we get one of Alexsandro or Hato this summer.
grin grin grin grin the other fan base that think of your kind of ideology as a irrelevant won't like this. We only need attackers, attackers and attackers. If any defender gets Injured, we will play any fan closest to the pitch.

Berta playing chess with sporting and Liepzig... A dangerous game IMO
Working on two big deals at the same time is risky especially when both party are aware you're only going to finalize one. It is good for negotiation though but if another club should show interest, that could put an end to the deal.
very risky business model, but let's hope it works out.

This thing takes time....
but seriously, isn't that what our dear club is doing?, trying to negotiate?. That's the sad reality and it's not even a joke. They might end up dragging this till it gets stalled. Gyokeres that is also in the picture, they're saying he's overpriced too. Na where we find ourselves be dis.

Una dey here dey wail, baba wan carry 45M go buy 17 year old Konstantinos Karetsas from Genk. Dem say na mini-Odegaard

The worst part is that if the deal goes through, we will send him back to Genk for the entirety of next season because he is 17 and from overseas.

But! Owners are not backing him!

But!! He is not getting the players he wants.

e shock me pass you baba. Whoever is leading that signing needs to be checked. We have our priorities, and na dat kind signing with that kind amount dey make headline. Money that should be put into something important. Even if he turns out to be Maradona and Pele combined, they should just rest first.
As a Milan fan, what do you think of Leao rumours, I heard Bertha already spoke to his representatives.
