🗣️ John Obi Mikel on Nicolas Jackson's red card:

“Jackson? Don’t get me started again”

"Unbelievable. Stupid, stupid, stupid mistake. I don't know what is going through his head. Your team needs you and you do that. He did that at Newcastle. Now he's done this. I don't care what his frustration his..."

#CFC | #Chelsea | #FIFACWC

Mikel and Jackson must never be left alone anywhere on this planet 😂

You're making this a man vs 2oman thing which it hardly isn't. No woman owes you, the world or even the human race a child.

I took the time out to watch the video and even looked at outcomes of studies done. They are neither here nor there with lots of overlap.

We are not talking about those on the fringe. Modern day man AND women are increasingly opting to have less kids. In my experience, it seems to be ladies that are more keen on having kids than men. There are also few societal advantages. I have increasingly seen men come in their 20s asking for a vasectomy which is largely considered a permanent form of contraception. Ask around and you'd be shocked the number of blokes who've had a snip. My favourite was someone who got a snip cos he didn't want to have kids with his current partner only for them to break up a few years after and he now hooked up with someone new and was frantically chasing a reversal.

Confusion break bone ye kpa na Double wahala for dead bodi and the owner of dead bodi 😂

Nice title- in this case it's not even loving the chains. It's believing the chains are there when they are only but an illusion.

Reason why I am strongly against some of the visa changes cos they perpetuate poverty which then has a way of debasing peoples mind. Someone who struggled in 9ja, then struggled to get into the UK and continued to struggle for over a decade while paying huge sums in fees might inadvertently think the reason they are suffering is because they are inferior or not intelligent enough. It takes alot to get a child who grew up with such mindset to succeed. Talk to an average kid in a grammar, private and state school and general difference in thinking and aspiration (which mostly starts from home) becomes evident

That’s why that narrative of ilr or citizenship is a ‘privilege and not a right’ is just a synonym for ‘Know your place’

Lexusgs430:
So is that a double negative or double positive........ 😂😊

Whichever way na way 😂 na condition make crayfish bend

Lexusgs430:
Why would the Nigerian government allow USAID, support the gay community in Nigeria.....

When the act of been happy, is an illegal act........ 🤣😊😂

Our laws are either not implemented or confused...... 🤔😕

It may have been a precondition to get support for other areas of funding, you know how the west has been trying to force those things down in Africa reason I doubt if those folks are truly gay as people Dey use this thing as runs o

D1uncle:
Try to secure the Senior Support Worker role first, and then apply for a managerial position based on your experience. If your workplace offers NVQ training, request to take part through your supervision meetings and use the opportunity to demonstrate leadership.

In the UK, whenever you see a vacancy, apply — the worst that can happen is a rejection, but even that gives you insight into the interview questions and process. You already have the degree, so now it’s about gaining experience by showing leadership in your current role and clearly communicating that when the time comes.

@prettyparcy kindly follow the advice or suggestion here. That’s a very good pathway there and be open minded, Begin to apply for various roles within the NHS and highlight and previous leadership roles including previous volunteering leadership roles as well

The NVQ training is key, check with your current employer and make a request for it as it’s supposed to be a mandatory career benefit

Lexusgs430:
Why not? Let's blame Donald Trump for everything....... 🤣😂

What happened to the 14 years jail term....... 🤣


Gay men in Africa blame Trump for their recent HIV diagnoses after he cut prevention funding https://mol.im/a/14831883

How are we sure those men are gay indeed, things Dey happen o! 😂

The thing wey social media go cause still dey do press up!

RodgersAkpafu:
Very well said and very important

It is also incumbent on us the older gen to WORK HARD to build the networks, community (within us and also collaborating with other communities) and to summarise, get that economic base right to support the education

Because hyping our kids up and at the end they having to grovel for opportunities from the wider society could indeed be counter productive

That's my thoughts process
The economics is the foundation

True, though you have finally hit a nerve that will make one of us here come back with those very long essays of his about this networks thing I feel you, but another thing standing in the way is these self-limiting beliefs that have been mentioned above. That worries me more, but if it can be overcome, then there is much hope.

Mujtahida:
I think Osimhen likes people. Likes being around people. He's socially inclined. That's why whenever he comes home, he's always goes around being with people.

What matters is that he scores. Yeah

He's a people person, when you consider how Lookman stole more of the highlight in Afcon than him because he scored more goals, which led to his nomination for the APOTY award, still Osihmen is himself and a team player, and to add he would have probably scored more goals if his national team mates give him more of the ball but still his commitment to the team can never be questioned. It's also a reason he rolls more with people and Nigerian celebrities, as most Nigerian players at his level will have so much hair around them to mingle freely like that, I no wan mention names, especially some previous generations of Eagles.

LionInZion:
💯
It's pointless educating people with such mentality. Just like you I'm also concerned about young people growing around people with such views. They'll psych them up to walk on eggshells all their life. Unfortunately, it is what it is. A man once titled his book Slaves Who Love Their Chains Will Remain In Bondage

We all have a duty to educate our children and others growing up around us about the world they live in so we prevent passing over our damaged and violated world views from the frustrations experienced back home in Nigeria (which I won’t blame us much for) to the next generation. Gracias!

jedisco:
Hehe... there are narratives that are manytimes not worth the effort to engage with. You are not going to convince a man who sees himself as little that he is not. It's largely thesame thinking that fuels the 'go back to your village' trope we sometimes hear in 9ja.


Today, when people come with such thinking I smile and observe. Afterall, some people would always scrape the bottom. My only appeal to them is not to let such narrative take hold in their children- cos if they offspring approach the world thinking they're being done a favour, they would be trampled upon by even people that look like them.

Two favourite quotes come to mind...

Apt! 💯 the story you shared the other day about those parents who rebuked their children for complaining about being sexually bullied in school comes to mind, I still struggle to digest that story but the kind of comments you see here validates that’s how many people still think.

It’s statements like this that makes defeat so difficult and bitter to swallow!

AntiChristian:
Hmmm!

Wetin Jesus talk?


.................................See am below!


They even have the time to print company invite details on the rice!
This one strong o!

This is shameful. We can't continue to blame the politicians then

WYZAD:
What does these people see that we are not seeing?
Namadi Sambo?
GEJ soon joins.

we can only hope it's not spirits they are seeing o

Irony1:
Awolowo didn't talk about secession, the same Awolowo signed the document in 1956 set by the British that indicated that for independence to be granted, the borders of colonial Nigeria must never be touched or redrawn. If he wanted the secession clause, why did he sign the document?

He suggested or proposed it but was not agreed by all. Our problem is those who lack foresight and understanding of things will always want to go back and desire what those who had the foresight wanted initially. That’s still the issue with state police and restructuring today. We’ve had conferences and white paper on these issues but will never agree on them until the implications and consequences start staring us in our faces. Common tax reform sef na wahala

We need to do better by listening to ourselves more instead of our having our personal sentiments in the way all the time.

If only they had listened to awolowo suggested the inclusion of that secession clause from the very beginning all these wahala would have been unnecessary. Lack of Foresight and easy concession to superior opinions is the bane of our problems.

Efuaye:
Give them one or two more states to create an equilibrium with the other zones!
If they contribute the least, don't forget that they are also the least in terms of the number of states and local governments

That would be unfair to the other states generating more as a new SE state created will increase the allocation the region gets from the centre while contributing less.

It’s obvious why the SE senators resisted the tax reform bill initially along with their counterparts from the north. The data is so clear to all

manck:
The south east now 60 universities . That too much. Where will they get professors to teach in them

At least it will provide more jobs for the people

lavida001:
You no fit complain for your country na another man country you wan complain abi.

You lot think Europe is built on being peaceful. These people fought ww1 and 2 where they kill each other( same skin colour for that matter ) in the millions and it’s still going on till this day in Ukraine and Russia.

The earlier you know your place the better. If you are not happy right to your MP and I’d like to see what that will get you. They are the majority and they will always have their way. If I see that what’s going on is not what I want I go back home. simple… the country don even tire me.

Oga I didn’t know you’re still here o, I thought you’re back home already fixing Africa

Even Trump promised he would end the Ukraine war in 48 hrs

RodgersAkpafu:
I went shopping today and decided to be a little bit more observant and look at faces

Look at people with their lists, especially the older ones, see people comparing prices, you can see the forlom and stress in their face as they are trying to shop for supplies for their family

My landlord has hinted that my annual rent will have "quite an uptick" (the exact words used) upib the expiration of my current tenancy

Council tax will be going up again upon the next review
Bus travel in the north West is now more expensive

Train prices nko?


All these going on simultaneously, smacking us left and right
But no, let's do a political theatre
Let's call Pakistanis this
Let's call Nigerians that

They are the reason why the country is in soup Post Brexit and not their foooolish policies

Rada Rada
But no,

Going after criminals and illegal migrants should never be political; it's just about enforcing the law that's already enshrined in the books. But they will tell you it's what the citizens want or desire, as if people will desire migrants being chased here and there over food, housing, or other basic things in life. It's one of the greatest deceptions I have ever seen in this world. They will incite hate in people and then say it's what the people want to see abeg, these guys are super actors!

RodgersAkpafu:
Our (adopted) country is crumbling under the weight of late stage capitalism.
People are on the edge
Child poverty at record levels
Housing costs... don't even go there

People at stores penny pinching
But instead of facing all that, how about we create a decoy and blame the immigrants for all the ill that is going on in the country

And immigrants who think they are special, or above other immigrants will be cheering them on because they *delusionally* think that they are the "good ones" while "those ones" are the "bad ones" not knowing that when you give gas to these elements, even YOU will be affected, and such delusion be slapped from your face

Okay look at what happened at Ballymena or so IN THE north, Romanians were accused, Philippinos na im collect woto woto

Pakistanis now are being scape coated, but Nigerians will soon be branded same.
I saw how they splattered the face of that Nigerian man who was "kissing" who he was supposed to care for . It's all over the place and it's to surreptitiously paint us all black

Anyways, some of these delusional "model migrants" will soon learn sha in the UK

Shebi the ones in America are learning their own under a fascist government

Why am I ranting like this.......
This thing "pain me"

😂 we’ve been through all these talking points on this thread and some of us are already tired, it’s a name and shame political era in the west and sadly it will be like that for a long time to come as it will continue to provide a good cover for politicians to avoid talking or addressing all the ills you’ve talked about. The quickest and easiest way to win elections or grab power now is to jump at immigrants and you get the votes that’s why all three parties are now singing from the same hymn book.

Zahra29:
Also sanctuary cities which typically have larger migrant populations.

"Trump also ordered immigration authorities to focus their efforts on sanctuary cities"

Those are the cities I mentioned; so the other cities or states don't have migrants anymore, as it is only those large cities that have criminals, according to Baba Trump

Zahra29:
This Trump? 😂

"Trump orders increase in migrant deportations"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crk2kpk817vo.amp

Yes, targeting New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, while other states and cities can keep their migrants. Simple as ABC!

All these lamentations will not solve anything; it's high time anyone tired of the present status quo begins to push for the restructuring of the country to allow self-governing regions. No federal government, present, past, or future, can solve this; that's why those who want these cows to continue roaming freely anywhere in the country will never support restructuring. It's left to those who are truly tired of their antics to start agitating for self-governing regions. No messiah in Aso Rock is coming to fix this, if we like, let's continue to deceive ourselves.

okezuoemmanue:
I shed tears reading this kind of unpleasant stories about our own indigenous airline. Is it that Onyema isn't getting the report so as to take the necessary actions so as to save his business Orr that he is that dumb. Its so pathetic

He’s running the business like a sole administrator he may need to outsource parts of the business he’s not grounded in to save his investment if not ……..

ehizario2012:
So it's actually better to pay for goods with a credit card and then credit the card account afterwards? Instead of doing a cash transfer or using debit card payment?

Baba Lexus have been an advocate of this on this forum and I agree totally with him, even when you have cash, it’s better using a credit card for sensitive transactions including Air travels as you’re insuring yourself against unforeseen circumstances.

Gerrard59:
Bros, while we agree to disagree, as long as women, with all the economic opportunities and reproductive rights they possess, are not WILLING to have more children, there is nothing that can be done. Women are the sole bearers of children, and so far and across the globe, they are staying off childbearing whether in gender equal societies or culturally repressive ones. Governments have provided all sorts of benefits from Norway to South Korea to Singapore to Hungary to the UK, yet birth rates are dwindling, not increasing. In fact, marriage rates are receding, not climbing.


I am also an advocate for fewer children, especially from a Nigerian perspective. But how do you solve a world with fewer consumers? Fewer productive demographics? A collapsing pension system? Fewer hands to build and maintain infrastructure?


Obviously a matter for another day.

😂 Shebi you all love AI! make una kotinu

jedisco:
Hehe... humans are selfish but the UK has thought me that in developed societies, when you hear news of one group crying, you have to stop and think about alot of variables before responding. E.g why is the media reporting it this way e.t.c

Infact, manytimes the cry of the most impoverished goes unnoticed while the rich make the loudest noise. Wealthy farmers would protest paying a trumped down version of inheritance taxes, young people outside work would say 'the NHS has done nothing for me' forgetting they are in one of the most privileged societies in the world. Migrants have had it demonstrably tougher with each passing year but someone listening to the media would think we're loafing around all day leaching on the NHS with our many untreated diseases.

Very true o, just look at the way ICE is clamping on people all in the name of going after criminals to deport them, at end the farmers and hoteliers are the ones crying now that their workers are being targeted 😂 so tey baba Trump had to complain too. That’s when you’ll know how deceptive these rubbish they do are.

bentenny:
Seems Obi has finally seen that the coalition is no longer going to serve his interest hence,he has decided to leave!
That's the reason why Kenneth is wailing!

You get it, and the coalition fears that He will split their votes, hence the noise from Kenneth

IJEYdiamond:
That means no world cup ooooo


Make them ban Politicians and thieves in power... not the Nigerian people oooo

Many coaches and players from qualified nations may not make it to the world with the way this man is going I hope FIFA doesn't get it's hands burnt
