Main take away from CKC Onitsha saga . . . .

Sir Odili added to my top 5 Rivers State football legends alongside Finidi George, Taribo West, Joseph Yobo and Adokiye Amaesimaka

Ibime does not miss the point, The guy donated to Democrats massively therefore can do no wrong according to Ibime.

We don't operate on the same frequency in our understanding of the world, so I can't bring myself to how you think. Investigators will surely do their job on the matter, not bozos like you with zero understanding that scream conspiracy childishly.

The fall of FTX led to Republicans losing their third biggest sponsor Ryan Salame of FTX. If I was as stupid as you, I would quickly be whipped up into a frenzy that Salame is being protected. . . the difference is, I have financial education

benalvino3:
You keep missing the point. They did it without consent.

mixing customer funds with counterparties and trading them without explicit consent, according to U.S. securities law, is illegal. It also violates FTX's terms of service.

They stole people's money and traded with it.

There is no requirement to keep 100% of customers funds in liquid form on hand anywhere in any statute books. If this was the case, several of the exchanges who have paused withdrawals this week (Gemeni, Genesis etc) will not need to pause it, and banks won't pause withdrawals if there is a run on the bank

There are capitalisation requirements that are usually percentage based, and Crypto companies quickly fall foul of this when crypto prices move.

benalvino3:
They are not a bank which we all know how they operate.

the Keyword here is consent.

It is a financial institution and is allowed to trade with deposits, it just needs to keep sufficient liquid capital on hand for withdrawals

Undercapitalisation is not a crime, and they could argue they were sufficiently capitalised albeit with illiquid FTT tokens which eroded their balance sheet as it's price fell. Moreso they are not a bank and not covered by capitalisation tresholds, and operate from Bahamas jurisdiction which has different sets of laws

Like I said, everything you mentioned is negligent but not enough to put this guy away for any reasonable time. What investigators will be hoping to find is:

A. Did he misrepresent asset values at any point to hide losses

B. Did he transfer assets to himself or cronies when FTX was going down

This is what they need to get true justice for creditors and depositors, not whether his girlfriend is CEO of this or that, whether he has a board, or whether he capitalised his company with his own token - there is no codified law to penalise him for valuing his Net Assets using the market price of FTT which could easily fall, just like Access Bank can value themselves in Naira which could easily fall.

Lehmann bros was undercapitalised to pay off their liabilities in 2008 and they collapsed. No single person from Lehmann bros went to Jail. Incompetence is not a jailable crime. A or B I highlighted above are crimes.

benalvino3:
It is established, you are not informed. He uses the Customer deposits and trades without their consent... he even loaned out their money.
Customer Deposit, he sends the money to alameda for trading without their consent in Violation of FTX own guidelines.

The Guy is a con artist who uses Media and charity to build credibility as well as Buying colluding with Politicians.

Caroline his appointed CEO Alameda research has no experience or pedigree to hold such an important role in the company.
the company has no accountant
no board of directors
they don't even have any money management system.

He Founded FTE manufactures the FTT token.

All the above is true, do you think your bank does not trade with your deposits or loan them out?

Wait, let the authorities gather evidence against him that will stick properly, none of the above is going to put him away. They need to find illegality that will put him away for a long time, not poor ethics, poor leadership or poor capitalisation/money management.

“Against whom do you jest?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of rebellion,
Offspring of deceit

Nwa Chukwu, you have tried. Your detractors should put up their favourite defenders records against yours and be put to shame.

You will never be defeated no more/
Only reason you ain't knocked out . . . is cos you hit your knees when you fall/
And Jesus you call/

BikeMan:
Even Thiago Silva?

Who remember Thiago Silva debut?

Singapore1:
it's my first time watching guehi play, but omo that was sh!t !!!

Season just start. Relax. That Saka shot na one of those things

BlueAngel444:
Guehi is clearly having an off night but imagine if he plays like that for just a match in a Chelsea shirt. Now, this is the difference; at Palace, it will be easily forgotten, at Chelsea, it could force him to the bench for next game and damage his confidence. vince

Nonsense. How many times Rudiger, Alonso, Chris, Luiz, Thiago done fückup. Guehi > any Chelsea CB not named Koulibaly

Havertz10:
There is empirical evidence that teams with fever British players are more successful than teams with more

You love capping nonsense

In Laliga, Barca and Madrid will always have less Spanish boys than Espanyol and co. Madrid only has 1 Spanish player in their first 11 as things stand

And that's because the rich leagues are International marketplaces where the best in the world go to the top teams

England performance over the last 5 years in International footie down to underage level where they win everything shows you are just spewing nonsense

WhoDeyHause:
Kounde is short but can jump very well. He outjumped soucek of westham in ulokpa. He is also aggressive and good with the ball. But with holy boehly we don't know whether ffp that apari and psg are passing will make him keep an eye on other player.

Jumping no mean anything. Even Kante can jump well. A short man needs space to jump with a tall man. In close quarters, all a tall man needs to do is pin down the shoulders of a short man to prevent him jumping

sleekdot:
I will suggest opening a different thread on this same EPL section and name it

All discussions Politics, music, business and derailer haven

I expect this will not be deleted as long as people are matured enough not to go into personal attacks

Someone should open the thread and mention us

Every section has its purpose, and sports section is not for that. Make una calm down small first till Muki relax. Off season has always been a time for off-topic and nobody has bothered us. Everything in moderation. It's still better than 10 repetitive pages of Klopp Vs Pep but let's ration politics talk too, not 10 pages per time

Sterling for £35m is not bad actually, depending on his wages

The Ake rumour is a bit concerning given Ake is 5'11, Kounde is 5'10 and Thiago himself is barely 6ft

Shey if Tuchel leave or has to play a formation other than 3 at the back, we would be having two centrebacks under 6 foot. Reason I always support buying robust players that can play any system given our frequent managerial turnover. Too many specialist players create structural problems for us all the time. We have too many specialists like Alonso, Jorginho, Havertz, Lukaku, Werner, Ziyech etc who aren't robust enough for tactical changes and challenges, now we're stacking short defenders.

DonJazet should be happy with this

Itsrm:
I agree but no government is 100% perfect

No be laughing matter bros. You wouldn't want to be an elder begging young people you raised for sustenance. Nothing vex man pass lack of payment for labour. Try that on building site and bricklayer will bust breeze block on your head.

I have a cousin who was in final year of PHD in UK under Rivers scholarship when Wike came in. Amaechi had used all the money for 2015 elections and Rivers was owing his 2nd and 3rd year fees. Wike refused anything till date and bros has not graduated. 3 years of sweat down the drain. Hundreds of Rivers students were stuck abroad like this and came home with nothing. Why won't such students rob the Govt if they ever make it into power

This is why I always insist that Federal Govt is infinitely better than State Govt when people start talking about State Police, more state power etc cos I have never seen FG owing salaries while many states are approaching 3 years unpaid, not to talk of pensioners.

Itsrm:
What he's owning them is arrears. They are getting their pension

Which government is not owning gratuity?

Govt is a continuum. He should pay up what's owed even if na Amaechi been dey owe them. Rivers obviously have the money

WhoDeyHause:
Mane might even be using football age Lewadoski can give us 2-3 seasons of goals that we have been looking for especially in champions league. Then broja can be our new striker after he finishes.

Don't trust Lewa unless your team regularly get ball ito the box, which Chelsea don't as a counteratacking team.

Check Poland in any international tournament for empirical evidence. Baba is a box player.

raumdeuter:
This was the position where VVD and Carvajal were when Valverde got the ball, How he allowed this to get dangerous is the issue

Konate last night never gave Vicinius that much space, he closed him down immediately

That is 100% failure of VVD

Another angle. You may be right

donstan18:
He started running even before Carvajal teamed up, was still running until Valverde laid the pass.

He had just one job to do, anything apart from RUNNING AWAY.

Nothing here shows the speed of Carvajal arrival. Valverde is not a mumu. If VVD steps to him, he will just slide in Carvajal and defence will be open wotowoto. VVD will jockey there until a teammate joins him like most good defenders will do. He does this successfully 9 times out of 10, but the 1 where his teammate doesn't get there is hilarious

donstan18:
You are stealing Konate’s credit and giving it to VVD.

Both are CBs who Benzema faced, both had Robertson and Trent to cover.

Where did that goal come from? Robertson or Trent’s wing? Who was supposed to cover Robertson? Who failed to do so? Who ran from Valverde and gave him the chance to invade box18? Who had the highest rating between Konate and VVD yesterday?

Using eye test, who marked and played well yesterday? Konate carried Trent, VVD and still marked out Vini.

Name one player we clearly saw VVD mark yesterday.

If Benzema failed to score, the credit should go to the two CBs.

Nobody is taking Konate credit away

What is simple is everytime Konate goes right to cover Trent, VVD is the one dealing with Benz, and he dealt with him

You say the goal came from the left. Was there ever a situation where Ferland Mendy and Vini teamed up on Konate alone with Trent missing? Konates involvement usually involved both him and Trent doubling up on Vini

For the goal, you have Valverde and Carvajal teaming up on VVD. VVD can't jump into Valverde and just allow him play in Carvajal for easy cutback

donstan18:
Nobody will say VVD isn’t a good defender, that’s a fact. But another fact remains that he’s a coward who hardly engage players, he runs firm challenges, he always do. These two facts can coexist.

Konate did better than him yesterday, if there’s any defender who should be credited for Benzema getting locked yesterday, his name should be Konate, not VVD.

I'm sure you watch a different football

Konate is the right sided CB and his job is to help Trent with the overload on the right side which he did on Vinicius whilst VVD dealt with Benz thoroughly

You want VVD to run at Valverde while Carvajal is running alongside Valverde, so any engagement VVD makes there, a quick sidepass to Carvajal will open up the Liverpool defence wotowoto for Carvajal to pick whatever cutback he wants

donstan18:
Cadiz faced Benzema twice and conceded just once, without Benzema scoring.

Maybe their fans are qualified to troll PSG, Mancity and Chelsea.

lol. I no dey drag trolling things. I drop my opinion and anyone can search their conscience, take it or leave it. We saw how Benz rubbished Rudiger, Thiago, Laporte, Dias and Marquinhos back to back. VVD locked him down and locked Madrid down to one shot, but because he was covering Carvajal and flicked a leg backward to try block a cross, make we rubbish VVD.

How many shot Cadiz allow and what was at stake?

Godx:
Vvd locked down Benzema yesterday. He had a superb game.

No mind them. People whose clubs conceded 3 goals to Benz are trolling VVD while Madrid only got one shot yesterday despite Liverpool playing an extreme highline

Even the picture they are using to troll is evidence of adroit defending. VVD is covering the run of Carvajal here with Robertson out of position and will eat Carvajal up. Carvajal is the most obvious pass here. He only flicked a leg backward when he saw Fabinho hasn't blocked the cross

Melvyn11:
Run it back . The so called Ragged Madrid went on to flog and defeat City, Liverpool and Chelsea on her way to a 14th Champions league title. Sir ibime how do you want your L?

I remain your humble servant

Unlimited22:
Courtois made a record number of saves since opta started collecting data. A keeper with less ability and Liverpool would've had the game in the bag in the 30th minute sef.

Liverpool had high volume but low quality opportunities, truth be told.

The pragmatism Ancelotti showed yesterday to defeat a superior Liverpool is what we ask Fraudiola to do, instead the Apari engages in nuclear arms race of buying up better players than opposition before he can win

Fraudiola only thrives on disparity in quality between players. That's where he becomes dominant, but not when players are on equal footing or less. Cheque book fraud.

popizaino:
If Real Madrid were not compact in this game,Salah,Mane would have been getting the kind of chances Mahrez,Lukaku,Grealish got and didn't utilize them.

If real Madrid weren't compact at back enough Mane would have been at the receiving end of brilliant cross, did liverpool even have an brilliant cross.


If real Madrid were not compact enough we would have seen brilliant crosses from Arnold unsettling Madrid defenders .

This same real madrid that we played that the much maligned Alonso was even cutting players in their box to score with his weaker foot,Mason Mount choosing his spot in the box,was suddenly able to tame liverpool players such that none got any real one on one chance was said not be compact enough not even threatening headers were said not to be compact enough because Courtois made 8 saves that he has been making before today.


I weak for people who have eyes but can't see and have brain but can't reason.

The fact is they limited Liverpool to snatched chances, you are right, even though Courtois made brilliant saves, none were when the attacker had time to pick his spot

Na Burnley format be that wey dey make Nick Pope make many saves in previous years.

Unlimited22:
Ibeme, the APC still have a viable choice.


Sen. Ahmed Lawan.

Na only concensus fit enthrone that one, like GEJ

But you think Tinubu will work for him in SW like he did for Buhari?

BlueRayDick:
Tinubu’s ambition is a big headache for APC as a party. He makes it so difficult for them to match PDP with the emergence of Atiku.

A Christian VP for Tinubu will not sell in the north, neither will a Muslim-Muslim ticket be acceptable to all and sundry in this age and time ( considering how religion and ethnicity has been a major issue in the country in recent times )

The 10 days APC have to plan their election will be for serious brainstorming .

They need serious brainstorming

Jonathan with a core Northerner seems their best bet otherwise they have to rig massively in a way that will create too much noise

Jonathan can probably get Wike to work for him and take Rivers and Bayelsa away and will eat a lot of SS and SE. Na how to capture that core North. This one El-Rufai dey silent, I done dey suspect wetin you talk before.
