I watched her being interviewed today. in all the interviews, she always made sure she slagged off Nigeria and her Nigerian roots. Tory membership would love her, she is saying openly what they wouldn't dare say in public.

Naija have really suffered in her hands, 😂

It's disappointing to hear Kemi Badenoch propagate the Islamophobic stereotype that northern Nigerians see Israel as an 'enemy'. Many northerners support the Palestinian right to a sovereign state alongside Israel. How is that hatred? In Kemi’s Britain, would there be no place… pic.twitter.com/Jke2hJts2c

chrisooblog:
I guess the "Osimhen never score ntor!" committee can officially be disbanded no?

Their prayer now na make the team loose or draw this match, they are not done yet o

TheSuperNerd:
Our white wasn't stained. We didn't lose.

Still our woq hope is still in coma

elyte89:
We don’t need crossbars during wcq …hence the reason y I am needed .

I tire o, crossbar no fit comot us for inside the whole wey we Dey now o

TheSuperNerd:
But but but.... We did some nice interplays vs Rwanda and were only denied by the crossbar, the referee and some brilliant Goal keeping. Enough Chances were created and awa white wasn't stained.😒😒

What was the final result?

TheSuperNerd:
Yori Yori is hidden in Kati Kati... laced with the core ingredients of Haram Route 1.

It is why Elyte ball is confusing and rightly labelled "HARAM ROUTE 1-YORI YORI AND KATI KATI FOOTBALL PHILOSOPHY" and its central goal is this......

My brother, That haram route needs to be protected for special moments

charlesemeka85:
Kati Kati is the hard way but the only way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na the only way for this continent o. You see all those Burundi and co, if you go Dey play pass me here cut am here, no be only red oil dem go use stain your white dem go add engine oil on top 😝

comodo:
Nigerians starting for their teams left right and center. Scoring and creating goals . yet we still struggle to win small countries. NFF needs to hire @Elyte quickly, If tiki taka is not working, let's try kati kati

What about yori yori, abi that one no go work? 😜

komekn:
Adarabioyo is not just an upgrade but a high step 🪜 up from bang average defenders by we have.

Balogun and Ekong have NEVER been as good as Tosin A at any time in their careers

Anyone good for your eye before 😂

elyte89:
Who send u message😏😏😏😏,na dis guy spoil my work..abeg no Dey talk to players agent on my behalf 🤨🤨

our beloved coachee no let them stain your white o, dem no get joy at all!

goslowgoslow:
Because common sense did not tell both you that the arrangement is by height. You people always dwell on irrelevant things.

you dey ming them? awon illiterates

TheSuperNerd:
They should rest easy now that he has began the NPFL season well at Rivers Utd naa. Na wa.

They will never rest until they see the back of osihmen

BankyGee:
Those Nigerians are mostly Chelsea fans and Finidi FC.

Galatasaray fans know the worth of what they have and are even admitting that they now have an added advantage of Osimhen's fear factor in the heart of defences and his goal contributions. Man is still trying to adapt to this new team and playing style, this is just three games with three goal contributions already, anybody wey dey talk rubbish, na for him own pocket.

I don't take any Nigerian slander on Osimhen serious. I know my idoló.

they see osihmen as the reason for his failure

charlesemeka85:
oga e don do, goals will surely come.

I wonder o, this our generation of soccer fans get as e get, person no get club na problem, e no score na wahala, whining up and down on top nothing. if osihmen no score will football or Nigerian football stop to exist? odikpa serious o

SamueItem337:
Chelsea have scouted Victor Boniface in recent weeks as they track his progress at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

(Source: x/GraemeBailey)

Make dem carry their eye comot, Chelsea is my club but they shouldn’t be messing with our players who are even better than what they parade at the moment. Today osihmen tomorrow lookman, next tomorrow boniface mumu management

charlesemeka85:
that guy is finished 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Make Una take am easy na there come a time diminishing returns begin to set in. It’s just normal, perhaps make e go Saudi go collect some pension

Going to court is the most peaceful way to resolve matters. Nigerians should quit being bad losers. There can be only one winner at a time.

Elections are not a one-time event; they occur every four years, and there will always be opportunities for losers in one election to be winners in the next elections. Those who lost the elections in Edo won four years ago and vice versa. Nigerians should stop being childish

lovewins:
Victor Boniface scores the winner for Leverkusen

He just keeps silencing his critics

Summertime:
Hi everyone, please what is the step process to apply for visa to visit Jamaica from the UK. and how long does it take. Thanks

You don’t need a visa as a Nigerian passport holder, just buy a return ticket and hold your valid brp or uk visa along if you’re returning to the uk. At the airport when boarding you just need to show your return ticket and the date you’re leaving the carribean islands (most important).

charlesemeka85:
Iwobi with an assist

I was a great critic of Iwobi but post Afcon I’ve been too impressed with him both for club and GWG.

oloriooko:
Iwobi with a sublime assist
I wonder what these guys get in their clubs that bring out the best in them

na weekly bank alert o 😂

Mujtahida:
He's very nimble and fleet footed. The players say he's the fastest. Only yori yori football can bring the best out of our players.

You this man 😝

Watching Cucurella today keeps my mind drawn to Aina. I believe if we give Aina a more controlling and tactically demanding role, we would have more controlled performances.

Aina has more to offer the Super Eagles and I feel we are not making the most of him.

I agree, don’t know why he always reminds me of Celestine babayaro Abi na the hairstyle but seriously he’s also got some good footwork we should be utilising more in the national team

teeshet:
If I knock your head. Mikel does not have one percent of both talents. He was just a peripheral ball passer and was lucky to play for chelsea. He didn't do anything spectacular

Lucky? This is ridiculous

TheGoodJoe:

I don't understand why you want to blame Osimhen. PSG came with a fantastic deal and his club sabotaged it. The club attacked him racially with him being their best player.

I don't know anyone in the history of football being treated this way. The reason Osimhen is in Turkey is because he did not want to work with the slave terms of Napoli.

When Osimhen does wrong, I will support any critique against him but in this case, you are off tangent.

Don’t mind them, some folks are just damn ignorant, but for colour of their skin, osihmen and Lookman have no reason playing for the clubs they currently are now.

zicky:
yes he won so many laurels at Chelsea but as at when he came second to Messi, he was someone we expect to at least get an APOTY.

He did came close to APOTY but for yaya toure. I think there were just too many good African players in his time, drogba, toure, essien, etc. still tried to hold his own.

zicky:
Mikel was very good, I do see him as someone with the talent of jayjay and kanu combine. Unfortunately he didn't attain that height we all expected him to reach.

Height as in what? I don’t understand

Joezinho:
Lol. We all know he’s not 23 and that shouldn’t be a debate.

I ain’t there o

Joezinho:
This victor boniface talks too much and end up silly. Man is a baller but he talks too much.

Make he nor let Social Media put am for wahala.
Does he know the year them collect N30 for viewing center?

man know thyself (make una play that video to this boy o)

[quote author=charlesemeka85 post=132086002]Marcel Desailly speaks about how good Mikel was when he trialed with Chelsea as a 16 year old kid straight from 9ja

“He was 16 when he came to Chelsea for trials and the first week he came, he was magic, we thought he was on drugs, he was incredible.

He was the one who stood out.”

Goodenoch:
Seriously though, it's a nice quip but it's not logical.

The question is not about that person. It's about someone else in a specific dilemma. It doesn't make sense to imply that the person is being hypocritical without knowing how much they earn, what their circumstances are, what their spouse is doing (and earning), if they have children etc.

Even when I answered I said "I would stay back" implying that if I was in that person's shoes that's what I would do. Doesn't mean that 5m would make me move back today but I surely have my own figure. I still maintain that band 5 salary with kids of that age and a spouse who'll likely not be able to get work in his field for years is a much less appealing proposition than some are making it seem, but of course it's a matter of personal preferences.

People are still living and living very well in Nigeria in spite of all the challenges, and 5m will enable any family to live very well and overcome many of those challenges easily. Private Healthcare insurance, living in a very secure area, childcare, other household help, etc. that will very likely be inaccessible here in the UK on that salary.

I just checked and apparently the take home of a band 5 staff in the NHS is actually 1900 ish and not 2300 as I previously estimated. Accommodation for the family will very likely take half that. For those saying london extra pay, the cost of living in or near London will also take the same proportion if not more. And as for overtime - every hour overtime work is another hour that childcare needs to be paid for (or that the husband will need to cover and not be working).

Maybe the UK still makes more sense for some, but it's certainly not as clear cut as some seem to think.

It's not really about logic, we all speak due to our different personal experiences and I do respect that. But the issue of emigration is a matter of time and chance and despite all the difficulties associated with a band 5 salary what about the chance of career progression over time, the international work experience, and some other positive opportunities that might come in respect of the hardship around childcare and others. My major concern is that a band 5 job directly from Nigeria does not happen every day and I hear some saying here that nurses will continue to be in demand, really? with the way countries are gradually closing their doors and politicians leaning towards the right? The Uk is truly not eldorado but might be a door to greater things that can easily be missed on the altar of living costs and others.

And just to add again. Nigeria has truly changed, Nigeria of 2023 is even different from 2024, You can spend just 20k on electricity units in just a week so let's be careful as we advise people back home. An aged relative back home had a stroke and was rushed to a general hospital (public hospital o) and we ended up spending well over 500k on treatment costs. The only time I can advise someone not to come at all is on a student visa because of the chances of switching to a work visa which is almost becoming impossible everyday.
