Bottlers Football Club of England

We have handed Man City the lead on the table before even kicking a ball at the Etihad, it is officially finished.

Angelfrost:
Boss, I dey watch am jare! Shameful tbh!


I just felt they can spring one last minute winner from nowhere!

And they almost did, but I suspect had Martinelli's gone through to Saka and he scores, VAR would have gone back to check the Gabriel pull on Salah, and you know what that means.

We live to fight another day

Angelfrost:
They did it against Bournemouth... They can do it today!

Game never end!

Seems you aren't watching the match, Arsenal no play anything since Liverpool's first goal

bobo65:
How can u remove Jesus for goodness sake

Removing ordegad

Shey dem bribe this Arteta?

At this juncture, he knows his team is totally drained, the best bet nah to defend and play on the counter.

amaridigital:
Ministerial list that will contain names of regular politicians like El-Rufai, Fashiola, Ganduje is not what we need at the moment. If Tinubu wants to compensate these politicians he should consider them for Ambassadorial posts or something related. We need top notch experts and technocrats both local based and Nigerians based in the diaspora for our country to really move forward. We are tired of having the same set of politicians moving from governorship post to the Senate and from senate to cabinet minister. The president-elect was brilliant enough to come up with the muslim-muslim ticket without which he would have lost the election as a minority southern Muslim who cannot win with another minority northern christian vice presidential candidate. He got that right but the greatest challenge facing him is his cabinet. Let's see if he'll get that right.

He will be under alot of pressure to include those you mentioned, but unlike Buhari who knew close to nothing about 90% of his cabinet members, Tinubu is a more seasoned politician who knows his onions and know what and who he needs to re-oil the engine of Nigeria, and for all our sakes, he can't afford to get it wrong.

As for the Muslim/Muslim ticket, he did what he needed to do to ensure his victory, and it worked, otherwise, he would have lost.

These people just dey disturb themselves, I am sure Tinubu already have written down the names of members of his kitchen cabinet, and the first class ministers at the very least. Suspension or not, it won't change much.

My own is that, though it makes sense to reward your political allies with political appointments, he should ensure round pegs are placed in round holes for key ministries and parastatals. No time for trial and error in the next dispensation.

obembet:
Please don't underate Chelsea. They are big threat

They aren't, even before this current form of both teams, we've been taking them to the cleaners in recent encounters. They will try to distrupt our flow, but like every other team, they will be crushed. Let's see what they have in stock under Lampard.

A failure by Arsenal to win their match away at anfield might just spell doom for the club. Man City and Newcastle away, will be very difficult matches to draw, not to talk of win.

IMO, I know Chelsea will be beaten without sweat, take that to the bank. I am majorly worried about Mancity, Newcastle and Brighton, if we can defeat Liverpool, then I believe we have 85% chance of lifting the title, but for now, it's just 65%. Winning every match until we face Man City is the confidence the boys needs to face Pep Gaurdiola's boys, you don't want to go into the match with a point or 2 lead.

dangoteinlaw:
and whatsoever you put on it has to be visible from a quite distant, putting a foundation of low depth won’t mean nothing unless the structure goes a bit high. You must spend 700k bro I know this for a fact because the land opposite my building at oko afo is on sale for 950k and the young guy showing interest needs that amount to put something on ground.

See ehn, the main reason for having something going on on the land isn't for so that people can see from afar, its main purpose is for it to put a potential buyer off without solid documents. For example, if I am taken to a land, and I see something going on there, I will ask more questions than I would on a virgin land. Virgin lands can easily be resold by communities, but lands with activities on it won't be. So that's the whole idea.

dangoteinlaw:
and where will you get 700k to fence it after purchasing for at least 900k for a half plot?

Not necessarily fencing, just have something going on there, land to me is like a water, you have to keep water it to safeguard and keep it alive. But generally, I advice people to just buy land in Ogun State, it is growing very fast.

nedekid:
What I meant is that area is to the extreme. Seems to Pass the stage of being called outskirts.
As per the second paragraph, it seems to be unsafe to prospect land on the extreme outskirts in the hope over time it will be valuable for use. The recent trend is that those lands usually end up in dispute as the locals end up reselling the land to other parties once the areas starts to appreciate.

Well, you made solid points. Just like I mentioned, lawyer up while buying it, they know authentic documents to possess to safeguard it. And again, if you keep visiting the place to put something on it from time to time, it will be difficult for the locals to do anything funny. Grease necessary palms too, like the Baale or the community leader. Buy him some assorted wines and give him small cash at intervals.

In all of these, some of the moves I mentioned might not be necessary if you study the environment well. You can even go to the barracks or police station, grease some palms, and they could follow you there like twice too, and then erect a sign board with the inscription "military zone, land not for sale, keep off". These measures are far reaching depending on the potential of the land.

Note that every thing, every investment in Nigeria is a risk. Even if you buy liquids with the money, there is no guarantee you won't lose it one way or the other. The naija money markets are not stable, even foreign exchange is a big risk, and crypto, that's even worse, it can make you a millionaire before you go to bed, and a pauper by the time you wake up.

nedekid:
Haba, that one is not outskirts of Lagos naa. Before that area will develop, the seller would have reclaimed the land from the buyer.

How can you say Ogijo is not outskirt of Lagos.

Can you please shed more like on this "Before that area will develop, the seller would have reclaimed the land from the buyer".

Twisted lady, carrying a grudge for 10 good years?!

Chai, God abeg, protect me from all forms of devil incarnates. That's why I don't roll with persons with anger issues, male or female. I run miles away from and avoid them like plagues.

nedekid:
There is no place on the outskirts of Lagos you will see 1m land. I doubt it.

Ikorodu- Ogijo-Sagamu axis, very possible

toluleke:
Land wahala and land isn't liquid that what people don't know. Then the country isn't regulated fake papers and scam.

Main reason you need to involve a lawyer when you are buying a piece of land. You have a point about it's liquidity, that's where the location comes in. And that's why I mentioned that he buys it and watch it the value grow, it could take a few years, but it will definitely appreciate.

I recall an old friend of my mum's, she bought 7 plots of land for 125k each sometime around 2009, fast forward to 2013, having become widowed and retired as a teacher sometime along the line, she sold 6 of the 7 plots, used the money to build a solid bungalow and also fund her first daughter's wedding and bought a car too. My mum regretted not buying it back then, saying it was too obscure.

There is hardly anything of value you can buy with 1m now, but you can buy a plot of land around Lagos outskirt or Ogun State if you are in the West. Forget about it for sometime, and watch the value rise.

But make sure it is situated around a place with potential for development in the nearest future. And visit the place and cut the grass from time to time, fence it if possible, just make sure you have something going on there.

TheRealOwner:
More like indifferent. She never mentioned anything she's ever done to support the boy or help him. She watched as thugs took her first born away for 2 whole weeks in her presence and did NOTHING!. She's just as complicit as the dad. I won't be surprised if she was the one suggesting these options to the dad

You are very right. At least now she's gradually coming back to her senses, albeit a little bit late. I hope for the boy's sake she does something concrete (not just trying to scratch the surface) to turn the tide. She's been a bad mother in that regard, in saner climes, the boy would by now be out of their custody and one of them would have become an ex-con for child abuse.

However, I also think she's either a full housewife, a timid wife, or a traditional wife who summits totally to her husband's orders without questions. Note that she mentioned she was the one who initiated the move to send the boy abroad for his footballing career.

CaptainStephen:
Reason I opined his father apologize to him, the man has to apologize to his son and take responsibility.

The key to lasting peace rests on the father.

I hope he listens and get down from his high horse before it is too late.

CaptainStephen:
Sad, I can relate abit to this because I was in the same shoes with my father. We don't have an excellent relationship till date because what happened then.

Man wanted me to study medicine but I also wanted to be in the army, and he swore over his dead body having experienced what it was to be a soldier coupled with the loss of my elder brother in the Navy during the Niger Delta crisis.

I got into Ife and left medicine after one year to NDA to my dreams, he was so mad and did all he could to get me out, I suffered ehnn.

It took me years to go home plus fate putting us together in the same unit but as his officer commanding, I would see this man and avoid walking towards him because I knew how he felt about everything and having to salute me everyday till I got redeployed from that unit.

I also had to forgive him too.

Your husband should apologize to him and connect with him emotionally, it wouldn't happen overnight but he should give it a trial.

Seems you don't get it, his father's grandstanding is still ongoing, that man is nor ready to back down. The father his hell bent on damaging the boy physically and psychologically.

Hmm

It is so unfortunate you stood back and watched your husband ruin the life of your first fruit. Considering how long your son has been frustrated out of what he desires to pursue, I pray there is a way back for him.

It is obvious your husband is stubborn, egoistic and self centered. For God's sake, we have hundreds of IT gurus breaking barriers and achieving great things. Likewise, footballers are making tons of money and making their families proud. And the last time I checked, it is easier to make it big and become famous doing both, than hiding away in obscurity inside NAFDAC labs. He just wants a son he can gain everlasting control on and brag with like his friends at his place of work. Everyone has his or her own life to live; different callings and races.

If you don't want to lose your first child, call him when your husband isn't home, ask him what you as his mother can do to turn things around for him. He needs you more than ever and anyone right now. Go on your knees or change it for your husband if need be, to ensure you help redirect his race in life. If possible, raise some cash on your own, and help him achieve his dreams. Otherwise, be ready for the impending doom concerning him (God forbid).

I know of two similar cases, both ended tragically. You have been too relaxed as a mother.

2ndchildhood:
Na Blessing CEO commit crime but na the grandmother them go arrest. Abi who dey da second picture??.

You know sey when the Nigerian Police Force arrest pesin, come snap am, hin looks dey change. Plus you know sey filter no dey Behind the picture up. Nah the real lady you dey see so, but wait until she is re-arraigned next month, you go fear fear.

Johans2023:
I understand. But I we make a mistake of handing over the country to tinubu, his administration will be the worst unpopular administration.
How can you hand over a country where majority don't like him? Tinubu cannot even get 10% of the total registered voters.
The election is null and void.

I understand your sentiments, but that's how democracy works, the reason why it seem strange to us in Nigeria is because we have never had a 3 horse race in our Presidential election. Even if anyone of them had satisfied the basic requirements of the election, and had won with just 2000 votes, he still would have been declared winner.

So are you telling me if Obi or Atiku had won with similar margin, anyone would have called their victory unpopular? Moreover, irrespective of how he won, he still had a well balanced spread of votes nationally, imagine if Obi had won, having failed woefully in mustering any tangible number of votes in the core North.

What I continue to say is that, Tinubu, Atiku and Obi, non of them is a saint, they all have their baggage, and weren't wholly clean during the just concluded polls. After all these noises, except of course if Buhari doesn't want Tinubu as President, he will be sworn in on May 29. Whether he spends 4 years as President or not is another story for another day beyond May 29.

Johans2023:
Even tinubu said it. He said he knows that majority did not vote for him. What again do we want? Since majority didn't vote for him why then did he manage to get the majority vote? This is what INEC must tell us.

Simple maths

He got 8m plus votes, and if you combine the votes of the 3 closest runner ups, that's roughly 15-16m votes. I hope you now understand where the "majority" came from, candidates of PDP and LP, and by extension NNPP, have themselves to blame for gunning for same position on different platforms. They were and prolly still of the same political family, and the bible says that a house that is divided against itself shall not stand.

It is only normal for them to sing the same tune, they belong together, but their greed and ego got the better of them.

Isobug:
The Video is not complete.
She later said it was her School Son not real Son.
Watched it in Facebook about 4 months ago.

Hmm, I for fear

Can I unhear and unsee this please? The interviewer and the Interviewee are m*d. See as dem dey discourse am like normal thing.

odave:
Now tell me, how can you not like this man? Many governors will be feeling like god. They even get aid to open their suv door sef.

Life is simple abeg. He (Adeleke) is always seen with his people, he's always in their midst. I know he's a politician but this one is much more closer to his people and grassroot

God bless Osun State, God bless Nigeria.

But he should be careful so as not to be cut down like they did his big bro.

I am impressed with his performance so far, I pray he doesn't get distracted. Well, I am sure his brother won't let him. But then, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, I hope he stays this way till the end.

The man that rarely spend 2 years on any job as manager before getting fired? Hell no?


He was prolly hired because he agreed to the sharing formula with the corrupt NFF. I was one of those who were against his appointment, but we were shouted down by those who felt he could do some magic with the SE. Give him the Brazilian national team, he would make them a laughibg stock in no distant future.

dapadawee:
It is obvious you don't know jimi lawal

With all the baggage hanging round his neck?
Wait until he becomes a potential threat, then watch how his atrocities will be laid bare.

Way to go, I always pitied those that competed against Semenya, an undue advantage, once a boy, you shouldn't be allowed to compete with women. You can be whatever gender you choose to be, but don't bring it into competitive sports.

Nice one

nairavsdollars:
Why didn't he kneel down to greet like he did when the governor nominated him.

Well, levels don change nah. In a few months time, nah the current Gov go dey book appointment to see him and tilt is head forward to great him. Very soon, he will start breaking down Udom's structures and erect his. The respect and relationship decreases or remains intact, depending on the comportment of Udom outta office, and the kinda advice Uno listens to.

Life nah turn by turn.

Throwback:
This is the same fellow without morality that became the Christian candidate.

Grabbing them by the pussy, while his latest wife is a former nude model that became First Lady.

Sometimes, Christian fanatics dey fall hand.

As if Hillary Clinton is not also a Christian.

Politics is all about knowing a group of people's mumu button; pressing it hard until you achieve your political goal, while these people see you as a messiah. Politicians are the same everywhere, it is rarely masses first, it is always the politician first, then his sponsors and on the end of the ladder are the masses.

In Nigeria, it is always either religion or tribe, it works like magic all the time. Divide and rule.
