This man means business..
If only we can keep our side of the bargain..

Am sorry to say this I doubt Chelle contract will be extended. We know how these things end. Dude may just be waiting to see if we may go to the World Cup. Expect another ex eagles player to take charge when he leaves.

BankyGee:
Bødø Glimt are stubborn o. They eliminated Europa league leaders Lazio from the UEL last season.

Really? a whole inter Milan haba na wa o!

minfelix:
Gala put 5 pass Juve
Bodo Glimt put 3 pass Intermilan

Are the Italian giants now turning Ekuke giant ni

They might have underrated their opponents hence the shocking defeat

Atletico needs a reality check

Even in the first half club Brugge had a very good spell

Onyedika has given a good account of himself tonight

Athletico ti ni problem!

BascoVanVeli:
Raphael don scores oh 1-2

Our boys just Dey show themselves

Lookman delivering for athletico!

Atletico just won bonanza with the amount they paid for this player

TheSuperNerd:
Bia Bankygee and BascoVanVeli... make una take una time abeg. Which one be "Our Captain"? Bia, the only "Our Captain" recognised on this thread na Wilfred Ndidi biko.... make una no confuse us make una open Galatasaray thread ooo... Habamana...

Meanwhile, Bankygee... una no tell me when una induct BascoVanVeli into the Gala Special Board of Fans.

Our Captain, Our Captain.. haba... Omo, Goke7, these ones don leave u behind ooo. U sabi ur Gala Captain?

Make Gala qualify for the next round first Una go collect for this thread 😂 we ain’t playing baby!

Some of the so called big clubs some people Dey hype here dem get money reach Gala? Clubs wey broke wey no fit buy better strikers Dey parade temu strikers Upandan, phew

Papi85:
bcus juve is washed.

Mk una dey here dey hype mediocrity. Nigerians and sentiments with emotions na 5&6🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What if Juve win at the end, will they still be washed?

Papi85:
this current Aston Villa team and coach go beat galatasaray Abi suyatasaray like like thief wey snatch fone

Mk we hear word abeg. Everyday person enter here na galatasaray matter go full everywhere when other nations dey boast of players in top class European teams

Hausa league no be this one wey Onuachu scatter everywhere come dey top for scorers chart playing for a less fancied side in the league. Meaning say if na like Gala or Fener him dey play for by this time of the season him go don get like 70 goals and assist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same league wey dem dey nod chest and ball enter post 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ayam in my house come and beat me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why Juve no nod chest yesterday night? Dem tight their body?

lbrichman2:
As far as I'm concerned, Gala has won this tie..
If Juve come out to play, that might just be the opening Osimhen needs and maybe his midfielders will find his runs this time..

I'm anticipating an exciting match and backing Victor to score at least one

If Gala can be defensively up tight they have osihmen to still do the damage upfront. A 3 goal advantage is what fighting for to head to the quarterfinals and earn more money

TheSuperNerd:
It is really just plain hate watch at this point for anyone hoping to see Gala lose and crash out. Like we know, there are stronger teams than GALA at this UCL. We all know this, so naturally, they are expected to fall at some point right? The issue now is when that eventually happens, they will still use it to taunt Osimhen and co, screaming Seriki/Hausa League up and down this thread... ignoring that it is a top team that finally did the job.

But until that happens, let us remind them of what Seriki has done to a Top 5 League Elite side like Juventus who has never conceeded 5 in a UCL game until Seriki came along last night.

The agenda is always to mock osihmen and the Turkish league no matter any match outcome! Imagine using man united to make excuses for Juventus, it’s the most silly thing I’ve ever seen. Even if Gala wins Real Madrid by mistake they will be here to say it’s a temu Madrid team. This same Gala has beaten teams like Ajax and Liverpool this season.

The Turkish league is still top 10 in Europe and they feature in the champions league every season but you just wonder if it’s another continent Turkish clubs play in with the kind of comments I see here. It’s not that osihmen went to the MLS or South America to continue his career!

TheSuperNerd:
U go explain taya. Dem no give this same Gala, Liverpool? Liverpool no pass Aston Villa?? Liverpool beat Aston Villa 7x in last 10 meetings (other 3 were stalemates).

See ehn, bottomline is Juventus is big and elite anyday, anytime. So this your own explanation don pass wetin ndi NFF dey explain give FIFA on DRC Matter.

Their prayer now is for Gala to lose in Italy to justify all their excuses, then they won’t say Juventus has been poor for some seasons anymore!

BankyGee:
You talk am o 😭😭😂😂

They are so predictable now 😂

Very predictable, temu analysts 😂

lbrichman2:
I felt for Osimhen in this game
The passes were just not coming
They were not looking for his runs at all
And this 5th goal that Boye scored, that was Osimhen's goal he just collected from his feet

Make osihmen Dey selfish too, see the goal Vinicius just scored for Real Madrid rather than cross he whipped the ball into the net.

He should not be releasing the ball all the time jor, even against Morocco there was a chance he should have hit one time instead he was looking for who to pass to. Make he take more responsibility for himself instead of having to be accused unnecessarily for expressing his mind.

BankyGee:
Osimhen gave one lofted pass that found Sacha Boey in the box, I wan craze, like is this Osimhen giving a proper kind of attacking midfielder passes? I was impressed. Look at the other cross he gave Yunus in the last game, that's all he's asking from his teammates - accurate passes and crosses. Na mumu passes wey go kill am dem dey give am.

I'm happy with the two assists tho, but knowing Osimhen's hunger, he won't be happy, he should try and calm down, 2nd leg dey.

He keeps showing he’s not hunting for personal glory but yet keeps getting misunderstood by many. I think it’s time he starts becoming a bit selfish and go for goals most of the time but I think he always considers the team advantage first.

The last two goals tonight that he provided assists for may be the game changer for Gala to finally go through to the next round, that’s a player with a massive mentality!

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen is so right to call out Lang immediately after the final whistle and tell him him own misgivings. Noa Lang has been notorious for playing selfish since his Brugge days.
I recall when Onuachu was awarded Best Player in Belgium for the 2020/21 season, Noa Lang said he does not agree because he was the best.

https://www.sports247.ng/i-deserved-it-more-than-onuachu-club-brugge-player-says-after-onuachu-pips-him-to-belgium-golden-shoe-award/

The lad has a tendency to come into a team and wanna become the main man. Did not work out for him at Napoli. Make dem warn am seriously because there were times he was meant to cross/pass but he did not. He scored 2 goals today but he should watch it. Team play first... not personal glory.

The guy does so much for his team mates, releases the ball on time and always pressing for his team but when he demands same from the same team mates he’s seen as a villain! Phew

TheSuperNerd:
Hausa League AKA Seriki league destroying Serie A in a UCL Knockout fixture... who would have thought?

You Dey mind them? 😂 they go tell you say na temu juventus dey play

Another assist by osihmen 5-2

AndSunGorilla:
he just gave an assist. Chance came from his pressing.

Exactly his press led to the chance that landed the goal

Juve don see shege 😂

lbrichman2:
Gala turn it around!!!
3:2
Massive 🔥🔥🔥

Let’s hope they don’t concede again o!

opes:
Eric Chelle is seeking to double his $50,000 monthly salary to $100,000 to extend his contract with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF)

😂 God may be answering Oliseh and Amunike prayer o!

This athletico no get laliga ambitions?

BankyGee:
I tweeted something like this. If any club from the top 5 leagues doesn't offer him his current salary or more, he should not even 'consider' leaving Galatasaray.

They should keep "whatever-the-fucc-sporing" him. It doesn't change the fact that he's the biggest Super Eagle player on the planet and the vice-captain of the national team.

Our main business with osihmen is the national team as we need him healthy and fit for as long as he continues to play for the national team. I’ve never been too bothered with whatever club he plays for (that’s his personal career). Yekini never played for any big club but his legacy remains golden and when osihmen finally breaks that record he cements his own legacy that will take another player donkey years to attain. My prayer for him is he’s blessed with long life to continue to reap from his all labour as a player which makes me sad for a person like Yekini. Osihmen in his post playing years will be a greater and more celebrated personality and that’s what is scaring lots of his detractors! Just three more goals and he becomes an everlasting legend that will dwarf most of our ex players and they know it.

As regards pensions, alot has been said and people would make their decisions and bear the outcome. I'd end with this - even with all the uncertainty, all I'd say is that you don't need to live the rest of your life in a place to make use of opportunities that arise.

In Nigeria, I served in the north- was never sure I'd settle in the state longterm but it didn't stop me from picking up a piece of land. As per the UK, It was when it became clear to me I'd leave the UK that I hurried to complete my property purchase. I contrinued contributing to the NHS pension till the last day I was eligible. Even though I was leaving, I weighed the pros of property ownership via a business in the UK to still be worth it- afterall, it was a system I knew and Canada was largely unknown. My accountant recently told me- why not just sell everything and bring it over to Canada and invest. I told him - baba leave that one there- e get why.


What am I saying? Access to a modern pension system is one of the basic means westerners use to maintain wealth. I've looked at Nigerian based funds and I'm yet to see any with the cheap fees or global reach as you'd see in the UK. For reference, the difference between a 0.5 and 1.5% annual fee might seem small in a beay but over 25 years can easily amount to over 30% in additional returns. That you may leave the UK does not mean you cannot benefit from its pension apparatus. Also remember you can move your personal pension to many countries. It's your money and would payout when the time comes. No one knows the furure but we can only plan based on information we have.


When someone says don't contribute to a pension, do well to ask them how you should fund your retirement - is it thru ip? Also ask yourself if you plan to keep working till 70.
I'm not talking about state pension contributions as that is mandatory. I'm referring to additional contributions.
I'm labouring this point as it's one area most migrants hardly engage with. We don't have many older folks around who've seen it through. Even among colleagues, I'd count on one hand those with a robust SIPP.


I'd end by saying this- there are two financial moves I regret as per my time in the UK.

1. Not buying a place before or during covid eventhough I had the means to. I dillydallied on this and thought that afterall, I can always buy. End is I missed about 50k in capital gains I'd have earned if I did.

2. Not prioritising my personal pension. Yes, the NHS pensions are generous with the state pension being a the cherry on the top as I thought. However, as I later learned, the tax advantage and flexibility of ones private pension is unrivalled. I focused more on my ISAs most of the time I was in the 40% tax band. Yes, I always used my ISA allowance but some money would have gone much farther in a pension considering my tax band. By the time I started contributing aggressively, I couldn’t maximise lost years due to contribution caps. A good example was a government grant of £20k I received. I paid 8-9k in tax on that money. If I had shoved a chunk into a SIPP in that tax year, my tax liability on that sum would have been significantly reduced. I left so much on the table by not utilising my SIPP.
Today my UK SIPP is a decent sum (pictured) but could have easily been much more robust. This would have enabled me be bolder in exploring opportunities elsewhere.

😂 guy abeg Dey hide disclosure about things like this o cos na wetin Dey stir anti immigrant rhetoric out there including from fellow migrants (awon old takers)

Don’t be another coloniser o 😂 we’ve been thru and still going thru a lot e jo!

Kog45:
Dem dey craze Onuachu no go Afcon

😂 na 75m dem pay o! Ko easy

Amedino99:
somehow they never realise that statement also includes dem. They will say nigerians are st*pid but it never clicks to them that the statement is a self own.

When I say many Nigerians are mentally ill people think am extreme, na the symptom Una Dey see so 😂

lbrichman2:
And they weren't happy he returned injured
Some were saying they paid €75M for him, and he should prioritize Gala over the SE

The thing pain dem no be small. 😂 if they have their way they will cancel Afcon!

But I think this may turn out in osihmen favour at the end!
