Tomorrow game will be difficult! We will create a lot of chances taking them will be crucial.

Equaveon will play beautiful football, that I can assure you!

Damn beautiful football, what we want is a win. You know if Eguavoen doesn’t win tomorrow he’s going the way of Finidi even if he gives us sexy football and penetrating passes, nobody go hear story if he doesn’t win

There were two contract extensions.

The one of last season that upped his wages to ~€10M a year and inserted the €100M+ release clause into his contract. It also extended his contract from end of summer 2025 until summer 2026.

The 2nd one reduced his release clause to €75M and increased his contract from summer 2026 to summer 2027.

Usually, when players agree on a new wage/deal terms, they extend the contract as well.

He messed up by signing that initial contract extension. That is where, as you correctly put it, he was being too loyal to Napoli. He should have stuck to his current contract then that was due to expire in summer 2025. If he did, he could leave next summer on a free unless Napoli sold him for a decent price.

My thing is this, Napoli have a history of overvaluing players that prevent them from moving. Look at what happened with Koulibaly.

Kim-Min Jae left because he had a reasonable release clause in his contract (less than €50M). Release clauses rarely ever benefit the player, it’s mainly for the club. Only time it may benefit a player is if the release clause is reasonably priced.

Haaland’s release clause was €60M. High enough that not just any club can afford it, but not so high that it may impact the player’s future compensation.

People forget the equation for acquiring a player is transfer fees+wages. If a club doesn’t have to shell out €60M on transfer fees, the player can ask for a portion of that fee as a salary or signing bonus (like Mbappe).

It’s easier said than done, if he didn’t prove to seen as loyal, many folks here would have bashed the player saying how ungrateful he is to the club. Too much analysis is paralysis and life is never straightforward most times you just live one day per time and hope that tomorrow is better. One major victory the player has achieved is to prevent humiliation from a club he helped to win a title by being confined to the bench and we just need to appreciate that.

All these talk about the Turkish league as if it’s in another continent outside Europe is what I don’t get, I bet you if this player had ended up in Saudi we will be hearing how finished he is as a player by naysayers. It’s high time we all move on and wish VO all the best in his career ahead. My focus now is what he can still deliver for our national team before he gets much older. Period

Lol. I hope you had the same energy when this same Osimhen said ogun should kill some certain Nigerians. I hope you were hyped up when he insulted our legend finidi publicly? Dude still hasn't tendered an apology to Finidi and Nigerians at large for that unnecessary outburst and unprofessional act..

I was expecting him to rant life on Instagram insulting Napoli president and head coach for ridiculing him despite all what he did for the team, the same way he insulted Nigerians and coach finidi.

Legend kor, legend beer ni. 😂😂

😂 thanks for confirming my earlier view. We can never change. VO perhaps is the reason the National team is still yet to get a coach, phew

People will come and tell u Osimhen does not deserve an invite because he plays in Turkey.
It shows how toxic we are becoming as a people

We have forgotten how for many years no Nigerian player smell APOTY for many years until VO came.

I am beginning to observe that our greatest players and coaches in recent years have been the most hated and bashed, e.g mikel, Keshi, Amodu, enyeama, VO and even paseiro. We even prefer the mediocre coaches like finidi and oliseh who damaged our NT more and some mediocre players I don’t want to mention for controversial reasons. Something is wrong with us somewhere so tey we can’t even get a coach for our NT anymore all because of toxicity.

You are among the shameless ones.

You have no principles or stanfardoupi move the goal 🥅 posts in an emotive whim.

All of a sudden the backwater Turkish retirement league is to be celebrated because VO is now there.

Something that should have brought never ending lamentations is being celebrated, what a SHAME.
Even if we are lamenting, are the Turkish people themselves not celebrating abi wetin be your problem gan, make everybody join you cry? 😜

Hate and Love are very similar they are both anchored ⚓ on emotive sentiment, highly irrational, they make the participants to be blinded by their emotions and makes them to become FOOLISH.

Look 👀 at the shameless bigoted double standard and naked hypocrisy.

There was unequivocal consensus that the Turkish league is poor quality rated number 10 in Europe and it's a place for retirement and big pay outs ( tax free)

But look 👀👀at the U turn of VO fanatics now hailing his move to Turkey. When you play in Turkey 🦃 you loose relevance and nobody will look at you as world class.

It's a poisoned chalice if he does well it will muted in the context it's a poor league if he doesn't do well his value will plummet like lead in water 💦.

You’ll soon eat your words again later cos your definition of world class changes from morning till night

A lot of analysis on the osimhen situation. One thing folks are leaving out is the power of the Napoli ultras and fans. Osimhen is revered at Napoli. Conte and ADL should pray they win games home and away. Don’t be surprised to hear chants of Osimhen at games when things turn bad. Osimhen relax collect your money.

Simple, thank you jare. The way the conversation is going on here, you will think osihmen have been sacked or now clubless, even those saying he will chop bench I just Dey laugh 😆

The most funny one is those saying he should apologise to his teammates and a failed coach called finidi as if na dem tie his destiny 😂

Politics / Re: SA Lady Educates Her Fellow Citizens On Good Things Nigeria Did For Them (Video) by Goke7: 7:08pm On Aug 24
South Africa remains the worst foreign policy of Nigeria ever. We threw away resources like water into a basket.

I once had a landlady who is a retired foreign affairs civil servant. She told me that when obj as a military head of state was wasting all these resources then all in the name of fighting apartheid that a uk foreign minister called obj and asked him if he knew what the consequences will be especially relations between the uk and Nigeria. It was after then immigration to the uk became more difficult for Nigerians especially in terms of job opportunities for Nigerians. South Africa was indeed bad market for Nigeria and more of a curse than a blessing. Even till today it’s still much easier to get a visa to the uk than South Africa, phew.

Just shows some of these students loans can be written off in the future thereby making the students debt free. If we can get more of these proceeds of crime into NELFUND then these students can be made beneciaries of free university education as we are investing into the future leaders of tomorrow.

Brainwashing is the only way to explain your one-way , narrow-minded and obtuse reasoning grin grin


In 1963 Nigeria had 4 regions.

North, east, west and Midwest.


All Nigerian states that exist today were carved out from these regions.


The east now has 5 states


The west has 6


The north has 19


The Midwest has only 2.

The citizens of the Midwest should be shouting marginalization up and down. But they aren't.

Despite the Midwest being bigger than the eastern region.

One word: Greediness mentality

The former east region actually now have 9 states when you add rivers, cross rivers, akwaibom and bayelsa.

You’re actually right, the Midwest has actually been shortchanged

If we truly restructure we may now end up with more than 10 regions instead of the scandalous 6 zones

those are minorities

this is the problem, why should we refer to humans as minorities?

Every tribe is superior with its unique culture and norms. That some tribes have more population than others should not be seen as superior to others. If we can overcome this, the better for the nation.

@All

How does this share code thing work? A family friend has been working with a care company since 2019 on spouse visa, renewed the visa twice and two months ago he applied for ILR and two weeks ago his company contacted him requesting for his share code as his visa has expired, he replied to inform them that he doesn’t have one and never worked with one, he sent them letter from HO indicating that he has applied for ILR.

The company did not get back to him but last week as he was getting ready to leave for work he saw a message from the work group platform that changes have been made to his shift, he checked and noticed that they have removed all his shifts.

He called them to find out and was told that it was because of the share code issue.


Does he have a case against this company?

It's a tricky one, only the employer checking service can bail him out, if the employer checking service indicates he has a valid ILR application then he's good. But if not he can't continue in the job. I have a friend who was asked to leave his job when the employer checking service failed, meanwhile, he had a pending ILR application that was just getting to the final stage of approval, just between a concise time frame from when the employer checking failed to when he finally got his ILR approval he was asked to leave. He was only asked to return when they saw evidence of his ILR approval, meanwhile, the employer is a reputable public university.


Reason I have warned some pages back that a looming crisis is brewing next year when Brps will finally expire by December. Everyone should please endeavour to have their e-visa stuff sorted out now.
