The less said about the tactical nous of Ruben Amorim the better. This is why he has surrounded himself with Portuguese tactical non entities on the bench. He is just surrounded on that bench with a bunch of yes men. No one to challenge him mentally. Just yes men without character.
Complete rubbish.

Considering that Everton have been down by a man since early in the first half they have played an excellent game and David Moyes has proved so far to be a better tactician than Rueben Amorim .

Amorim has consistently shown himself to be cowardly in his tactics and never bold to set up his team to take the initiative to attack. Watch him start changing like for like defenders from the 60th minute.....

The ironic fact is that since Everton were reduced to 10 men they have looked more dangerous on attack while Manchester United look disjointed and they just scored.
Manchester United 0 Everton 1

If you lift your hands to any players face,you are going to get a red card. Be it your team mate or your opponent.

What absurdity. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Two Everton team mates fighting each other.
And one sent off.

There are two fixtures I dread.
1. Monday night kick offs.
2. Lunch time kick offs on Saturday.

Hoping Amorim can get the three points on offer tonight.

6 senior directors from the Ministry of Defence were kidnapped along the Kogi axis. A senior military officer, a Brigadier General, was brutally executed. 64 civilians, including women and children, were abducted in Zamfara. 25 schoolgirls were abducted in Kebbi and their Vice Principal was killed. 38 Church worshippers abducted in Kwara. 30 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were abducted from a Catholic school in Niger State. Terrorists Gunned Down 5 Police Officers in Darazo LGA, Bauchi State

All this happend in the last 10 days but the only time this one remembers insecurity is if it is connected to the South-East.

Once again the difference between me and you is that I do not tolerate terrorism or terrorists in any form or shape,either in Northern or Southern Nigeria. I abhor all terrorists and in my book ,the only good terrorist is a dead one,planted 6 feet under.
I totally support the government to eliminate all forms of terrorist activity in the Nigerian federation.
You on the other hand are an enabler of terrorism like Sheik Gunmi. You consistently engage in WHAT-ABOUT-ISM which is a fallacious form of argument by which you excuse terrorism on your side in the East by pointing at terrorism committed by other criminals in the North. Justifying criminality by your tribesmen by pointing at criminality by other tribes. It is a base and banal form of logic favoured by dunderheads and has been applied by Kanu and his wild bunch of supporters constantly.
In conclusion gidgiddy,you are free to make yourself happy by opening millions of thread celebrating gangsterism and enabling terrorism on Nairaland.com but it doesn't change the fact that Nnamdi Kanu remains in the sweltering and scorching heat of a Sokoto correctional facility. He who feels it knows it!

gidgiddy:
I have been following Nnamdi Kanu's trial for a long time now. I have managed to get into the court premises on two occasions, but never the court its self. Security is always something else on the days of Kanu's trial. But there are 5 things Justice Omotosho did on the day he passed judgement on Kanu which I find very strange.

1. When Omotosho took over Kanu’s case, he banned the use of any recording device in court during trial. You could only take pictures of Kanu before the judge arrived, or after he had left, but not during the trial it self. He even once ordered that Kanu's sister in-laws phone be confiscated because she forgot and wanted a selfie with Kanu. So it was a big shock that on the day he would passed judgement, not only did Omotosho allow every recording device to be used his court, he allowed all kinds of Tv stations in, and even allowed them to live stream it. Why? It almost looked like a judge who was out to teach Kanu a lesson on a national platform

2. It is customary in all High courts of the world to give the accused person a last chance to address the court, if he so wishes, before judgement is passed. Particularly if the charges carry the death sentence. This is mainly because there may have been new developments that could affect the trial. Surprisingly, when Nnamdi Kanu wanted to make his final address, Omotosho refused. This angered Kanu, led to him making outbursts, which caused Kanu being escorted out of court. Not allowing an accused to make a final address he wishes to make is a good indicator that the Judge is just in a rush to jail the defendant at all cost


3. While reading the judgement, Justice Omotosho started going into things Kanu wasn't even charged for. He started saying that Kanu threatened former British ambassador, Catriona Laing, that he threatened to blow up an American Embassy, lodged in a hotel under an assumed name. He even accused Kanu of killing Ahmed Gulak based on an autopsy report. Autopsy report can only tell you how a person died, it cant tell you who killed them. None of these things were what Kanu was charged for, or in court for, they had no bearing on the case. Why would a Judge do this?


4. Another shocking thing Omotosho did is to convict Kanu based on an evidence he had already thrown out. During Kanu's trial, the DSS tried to tender statements and video clips where they said that Kanu claimed to be leader of IPOB, and was the one that created and funded ESN. This was challenged by Kanu's legal team. Omotosho ruled that any statement or video interview obtained by DSS from Kanu while he was in their custody could not be used unless Kanu's Lawyer or chosen witness, was there at the time because it was against the law. So it was shocking to see the same Omotosho go back to the same evidence he had thrown out, and used it to convict Kanu on two counts

5. Of the seven charges brought against Kanu, 6 of them were about Radio broadcast he made, while one was about importing a Radio Transmitter wrongly labelled as 'household goods'. No where did the charges against Kanu say that he killed anyone, destroyed any property, or that his broadcast led to the killing of anyone or destruction of any property. The charges were all about what he said. However, Justice Omotosho called Kanu a terrorist, not based on anything he did, but what he said. It was shocking to hear a Judge reduce such a serious crime as terrorism to spoken words and Radio broadcast. Terrorism is always an action, it is never spoken words alone

Apart from being a terrorism enabler like Sheik Gunmi,you have also proven yourself to be a purveyor of falsehood,lies and propaganda. With this your legal sagacity, it is a wonder you have not taken over the defence of Nnamdi Kanu's appeal process from the charge and bail clowns Ejimakor and Maxwell and then you can point out all your observations to the court of appeal Justices'.

I really pity the future for Nnamdi Kanu because in his megalomania and messianic complex he has surrounded himself with yes men and dunderheads he can dictate to,while they feed him with the falsehood that is music to his ears.

James Omotosho is the fourth (4th) Justice to handle this case after Kanu in his usual uncouth manner has accused all of them of bias and corruption. The funny thing is that at least two of those Justice's he accused of corruption are now elevated and are now presiding in the Appellate court. The joke is on Kanu and his IPOB supporters.
Kanu has 90 days to appeal and the days have already started counting.
Gidgiddy, is free to open gazillions of propaganda threads on Nairaland.com everyday to make himself happy in his own head while Nnamdi Kanu is in the Correctional facility in the heat of the dusty,humid and scorching hot Sokoto desert. Who feels it knows it!

This charge and bail lawyer called Maxwell has started his content creation again to decieve his gullible followers .

Appeal court is a zonal arrangement so there is no way Kanu can be moved back to Abuja for any appeal process.

With lawyers like this Kanu is just setting up a futile appeal to fail again woefully.
Kanu needs to rid himself of his megalomania and messianic complex. Calm down and look for competent and able lawyers who are vast in criminal justice to file and fight his appeal in court.

Engaging incompetent lawyers like Maxwell and Ejimakor who only argue cases on the Internet is just lining up for your appeal case to fail woefully.
Those who the Gods will destroy,they first make mad. Kanu needs to count the teeth in his mouth with his tongue before Maxwell and Ejimakor send him on a journey of no return.

Ejimakor and Maxwell are those clowns Nnamdi Kanu trusted his fate in and elevated as his legal consultants. In reality these two lawyers on any given day were not more than charge and bail lawyers. Kanu due to his megalomania and stupidity prefered to engage Ejimakor and Maxwell because he could dictate to them,assault them physically and also get them to constantly massage his large ego and big chip on his shoulder.
When you employ clowns,expect a huge circus show.
Even the appeal of this conviction will be difficult because those two charge and bail content creators prevented Kanu from even entering a single defence on any of the 7 counts the prosecution entered against him so what exactly is Kanu going to appeal against?
The whole Kanu treason case is an example to silly people who dismiss world class surgeons and instead go to a road side chemist shop to conduct an operation to remove a malignant tumour.

Eliot Anderson is the best player on this pitch in this game between Liverpool 0 Nottingham Forest 3.
If United could just tempt him to come over in the summer. He would make such a difference in midfield but then if wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Empty chest beating as usual.
Now see where your mouth has pushed you to.
Life imprisonment in the sweltering suffocating heat of a Sokoto maximum prison solitary cell devoid of any gadgets of communication.

Those who sow the wind will eventually reap the whirlwind!

Kaczynski:
if finland want him extradited , they would have instead of jailing him. finland laws is more like russia not the US.



if you think finland will extradite ekpa , you are still sleeping


Bookmark this post until 2027 , come and quote me that im wrong

This is how your type on these boards claimed Simon Ekpa would not be tried or jailed for terrorism because he is a Finnish soldier and a Finnish citizen. We all know how that ended.

Your type on these boards claimed that Justice Omotosho could not jail Nnamdi Kanu. That if he did such there would be crisis and chaos. Right now Kanu is a convicted terrorist locked up for life in a Sokoto maximum prison cell with no access to any electronic or communication devices.

There are so many keyboard warriors on Nairaland.com. All mouth and no single action. I don't take people like you serious. In fact it was a mistake to engage you.
Have a nice day.

Kaczynski:
ekpa wont be extradited

They have started again. 😆

zeyt:
By the way FG should provide AC to Kanu if they dont want him expire quickly. Because is the hottest city in the country due to overhead sun and rocky terrain. I was in school there for four years.

The heat in Sokoto is second to none starting from January ending. It has to be experienced to be understood.
That is the period when by 09.00 hours In the morning the blazing sun is already overhead. And then the swarm of flies in the daytime and then the mosquitoes in the night.
This is what Kanu's unruly behaviour has brought him. The unbearable heat,the flies and mosquitoes in that environment will ultimately humble and break him.
When you sow the wind ,you will ultimately reap the whirlwind!

ClearFlair:
But that region is not safe because of terrorists.

That prison is alright.
It is within Sokoto metropolis.
Very appropriate confinement for a convicted terrorist. No chance for any prison break by his mindless IPOB mob pending his proposed appeal to the court of appeal. This kind of confinement should reduce his ignorant arrogance.

Nnamdi Kanu sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
Justice James Omotosho is one of the Liberal judges in Nigeria. A stricter Judge would have applied the death sentence for the treason charge.
Kalu's lawyers have said they will appeal the sentence but I wonder what they will appeal about since Kanu refused to defend himself against the treason charge?
Justice appears to have been served here for all the victims of Kalu's international terrorism.

Pootle:
who go wan chop beans for life at the bolded

There are a lot of keyboard warriors on Nairaland.com. I personally nominate gidgiddy to rise up and seize the mantle of IPOB leadership.
Kanu is finished. Kanu is crushed. Let another arise and take his place

Pootle:
ok lets see what the sentencing will be like by 3:50

Kanu has been found guilty of all 7 counts which the prosecution filed against him. He has been unruly and unrepentant throughout the course of the trial. This is the third judge to handle the case so what do you think the sentence will be except the maximum punishment??
Kanu is finished. Let another in his place arise. 😄

gidgiddy:
Even Nnamdi Kanu knew that a government that illegally sent Soldiers to his house to attempt to kill him, a government that broke its own extradition laws and that of Kenya to kidnap him, and a government that repeatedly refused to release him when courts said so

Such a government was not going to give justice, no matter what the courts said. He knew this and never bothered to enter a defence, which they would have used to legitimise a predetermined judgement. The thing about all of this is that Kanu has been in detention for 5 years, and Nigeria has only gotten worse in that time.

You jail or detain him for another 100 years has no bearing on the downward spiral of Nigeria

Now in detention, he will remain a symbol of injustice, and be as popular as ever. Such is life

I suggest you take up the mantle of the next IPOB leader. Stop being a keyboard warrior on Nairaland.com. Put your money where your mouth is. Stop all these daily epistles.
We await the sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu your god who has been completely dymystified and deflated.

iamfraud:
Omotosho is a really Yoruba man
He can never be cowed by anybody

Justice Omotosho refused to be distracted by Nnamdi Kanu's unruly antics. He rather excused himself from the court until Kanu was removed from the court room. No need exchanging words with a potentially condemned man. After all trial and judgement in absentia is legal and allowed under the law.

The security agents who were thoroughly provoked by Kanu who physically attacked them. Also the prosecution lawyers were verbally abused and cursed by Kanu.
It is noteworthy that none of them responded to Kanu's antics.

gidgiddy:
What is there to learn? Thst your government sent Soldiers to kill a man in his house, which forced him leave the country?

That your government broke several law ti go and kidnapp him from another country?

That when courts order that the same man be released, your government says no?

Meanwhile your government is releasing thousands of Boko, giving hundreds of bandits peace deal, resettled thousands of killer herdsmen in ruga

They can jail or kill Kanu, but everyone sees the injustice.

I have told you several times on these boards. The lowest base form of argument is called WHAT-ABOUT-ISM. It is a fallacy and false argument that seeks to exonerate and excuse bad behaviour by pointing at ANOTHER bad behaviour.

Listening to Justice James Omotosho reading his judgement you can see it is a very robust and rich judgement. Nnamdi Kanu was given several avenues to defend himself but he and his legal team continually stood logic on its head while seeking to surreptitiously subvert and delay judgement in the case while putting the blame on the prosecution.
The judgement must be given today and if Kanu is dissatisfied he is free to appeal the judgement at a higher court of competent jurisdiction. Simple.

WizardOfNG:
This is just incredibly tragic. Igbos are proud of themselves for blind and automatic support they gave this man who clearly needs psychological intervention?

Balanced people would have rejected Kanu's grossly abnormal persona from when he announced he was going to Abuja to return with the head of Buhari who was the duly elected President of Nigeria at the time.

Yet the Igbos audience in attendance at that time cheered him wildly. Leading a clearly mentally troubled man to believe he is a supernatural being who can "decide who lives or who dies".

Video is cringe worthy and a demonstration of how Igbos, because they cannot purge themselves of the sense of victimhood over the consequences their rash actions have caused them, continue to see "marginalisation" and "persecution" everywhere.

This is even longer and more cringe worthy. Megalomania in action. The guy apparently needs a lot of help. How this empty chest beating solves his problem is baffling. Any way judgement in absentia is legal and lawful.

And five thousand Boko haram have bern released by your government without any of them seeing court, so let's hear word



https://m.lindaikejisblog.com/index.php/2025/1/5000-repentant-boko-haram-fighters-reunited-with-families-fg.html

James Omotosho is NOT Binta Nyarko. Kanu and his enablers like yourself will learn a rude lesson today. No amount of empty chest beating can shelve the judgement today. Kanu can be as unruly as he likes. He can call the judge names. He can abuse the Federation but today he will recieve a rude awakening. Judgement in absentia is allowed under the law.
We await the judgement!!!





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvhMsVEWrq8?si=5pWoUBZkI5XZjkUK

Kanu being ejected from the court this morning by the security agencies for his usual unruly behaviour. It doesn't matter,judgement in absentia is allowed under the law.....






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvhMsVEWrq8?si=5pWoUBZkI5XZjkUK

Kanu being removed from the court room for his usual unruly behaviour earlier before judgement is delivered.
Nothing will be allowed to shelve this judgement!!!

gidgiddy:
Yes we know you APC people dont care about insecurity, that's why you people have been talking nonsense for the last 5 years Kanu has been in DSS custody and insecurity only got worse. November 20 will come and go, whatever verdict Omotosho gives, insecurity carries on getting worse

25 girls have been abducted in Kebbi, Nigeria has been designated a country of interest, a Brigadier and his men have been executed, bandits are roaming everywhere collecting peace deal, millions are in IDP camps, five thousand Boko haram have been released this year, herdsmen are wasting people in Benue, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe.

But you people only care if Nnamdi Kanu who has been in jail for 5 years will be given more jail time

APC people indeed.....
So anyone opposed to all forms of terrorism and enabling of terror is labelled an APC person in your small mind?

The worst kind of defence is WHAT-ABOUT-ISM.which unfortunately is the go to defence mechanism of IPOB and it's rag tag members like you gidgiddy. This is just arrogance of your ignorance.
As for myself I am opposed to ALL FORMS OF TERRORISM AND TERRORIST ACTIVITY, be it in the North or South of the Nigerian federation. In my humble opinion the only good terrorist is a dead one!

Once again I repeat 20th November 2025 is a sacrosanct date to face justice for the father of terrorism in Nigeria. It is the date that we will know if the government represented by the judicial arm is ready to end terrorism in Nigeria. We await the verdict!!!

gidgiddy:
Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention 5 years, and Nigeria has only gotten worse on every index in that 5 years. You people are waiting for November 2025 as if whatever verdict of Omotosho will be will improve anything

In the meantime, many girls have been abducted by bandits, a Brigadier has been executed, terrorists are discussing peace deals, and you guys are waiting for verdict of Nnamdi Kanu who has been in detention 5 years?

I laugh in Chinese 😆 🤣 😂 😹

I repeat, 20th November 2025 remains sacrosanct for the troubler of the Nigerian nation.
In the meantime,you,Gidgiddy are free to open as many threads as your fingers allow you to on Nairaland.com. Unfortunately for you and your cohorts in enabling terror, it does not and will not change the ultimate and final verdict!!!

So until November 20th 2025 you are free to drape yourself and your cohorts in as much grandeur delusion as you desire. 😁😁😁😁

November 2025 is sacrosanct!
All this noise by Nnamdi Kanu is just distractionary smoke and mirrors.
I trust Justice James Omotosho to remain focused with eyes on the ball. The IPOB sympathisers are free to open gazillions of threads on Nairaland.com. it wouldn't change the eventual verdict!

From the second half there was only one team on the pitch.
DRC deserved to go onto the next stage of the play offs.
Nigeria went to pieces once Oshimen was substituted.
Congratulations to DRC. They wanted it more and were the better of a poor set of penalty takers.

Penalties
