taco snack....??

hot dog....??
you call that a meal....??

a good menu meal in europe cost you atleast 20euros....

$10 will get you a big Mac meal or a KFC 2 piece. That's the SI unit we are comparing against.

The N1,500 he mentioned for Nigeria, is it not rice plus beans plus one small peace of protein? So let's compare like for like.

In a supermarket you can even get 5 meals for that amount and microwave it.

Or we can use the GALA metric sef. You can get 8 sausage rolls for £1 here in UK. How much is Gala, the go to hunger-buster in Naija?

The drug dealer keeps appointing agbero statisticians, it's no wonder his zombie followers reason like him.

Most people buy snacks during lunch and $10 can get you that in the States

Tope is an eediot who likes to lie. $10 will buy you lunch in USA easily

This nkuku's Chelsea career is a mystery to me o. He is one player most Chelsea fan were sure would make it here and we were even looking forward to his debut.

Is it that he never fully recovered from that injury?

Nothing happened to Nkunku

He's just another positionless hypejob from Bundesliga exposed in EPL

Say no to positionless players. Unfortunately we have 2 of the worst of them in Felix and Nkunku

Which scout saw this Sanchez and said he's a ball playing keeper? He should be shot in the blockos

This guy done drop Palmer, Jackson and Cukuruku in must win game. SMH

“4 corner post “ trumps monkey post any day any time . As much I enjoyed monkey post , I think 4 corner post is my favorite type of football during childhood .

The game involves 4 different players manning 4 different goal posts strategically located on the 4 cardinal points on the pitch .

Each man will defend his post at all times to prevent any of the other 3 players from scoring in his post while he’s also scheming to score in any of their respective goal posts . Each player is allowed to touch the ball once until another player touches the ball while it is still in play. If u touch the ball twice in a row , u have committed a foul and the player whose goal post is directly opposite urs will play a “penalty” from his post straight towards urs . When the penalty is being taken, u will step away from ur goal post and hope the penalty taker loses an open net attempt at ur goal post

Once u are scored against either through open play or penalty , another player who has been on the outside will take over ur goal post and the game continues .We say he has “entered set”

I learnt defence and attack in that game . I usually end up being the lat man standing who others find hard to score against . At times if u have stayed too long and nobody has been unable to score u, the other 3 players can gang up against u solely to collaborate to score against u.

This is similar to Ball Ay which we used to perfect our ball control

You draw 4 quadrants with 4 men manning each quadrant. You bounce the ball and shout Ball Ay, everybody shout AY!. And each man must return the ball to another quadrant after once bounce with one touch. If ball bounces twice or you fail to return the ball to another man's quadrant with one touch, you are out and another man counting set will come in.

Another one we use to perfect our opio (nutmeg) skills is what we called American football. Everyman for himself, you throw the ball and any man will try to opio another man. If you get opiod, you will get multiple slaps on the back from everyone until you run and touch a designated tree.

And finally dribble and score which is everyman for himself with only one goal and one goalkeeper. Keeper will throw ball and you must try to dribble and score and every other player will defend against you. These will improve your dribbling skills. These minor games is the reason why the average Nigerian is better than the average oyinbo on an amateur level at basic skills.

Most importantly monkey post which teaches you not to do kick and rush football. Even in England today, I get pissed off when English teammates try to play low percentage crosses and rush rush ball down the line instead of building up play methodically like monkey post taught us. As an aside I remember the penalties in monkey post which is when you must back heel the ball into an empty net from 5 or 10 paces, na monkey post form of penalty be that

Roland17:
Yes sir! Or you target the edge of the table while smashing. Recovery possibility na nearly impossible!

Some boys such as myself done perfect the art of service wey dey move so fast, it's equivalent to smashing. While some niggas go put so much slicing on their serve, you want return am left, the thing go move right. If you meet one of those niggas and fail to return 3 or 4 in a row, whitewash done become possibility.

Some other niggas go use hand spin ball at the moment when the ball and bat meet during their serve to make ball spin multiple directions like Ronaldo free kick. That's when some ol' gees had to change the rules and tell us that in professional game, you must throw the ball in the air before serving. Some niggas whole game collapsed after that rule came in.

Table tennis was a Saturday afternoon staple. Saturday morning was monkey post or Ball Ay, then when sun comes out at mid-day, its table tennis or counterball, and in the evening when sun relax, back to football

Strand Larsen is another budding star.

How these useless teams got lethal finishers and we don't have one, is giving me migraine.

Too slow, he can't play for a dynamic attack

I've been well and truly flogged this week. . . on to the next one

5 trillion ke. This man loves lying like fish love water

Ibime.
I eemember you saying that oil in 2020 prices were because of COVID.. How you explain this now? My take was that Saudis wanted to kill fracking so they pushed out more oil
History repeats itself.

Oil in 2020 was at zero and went negative on one one day

Saudis fighting fracking maintained it around $40 from 2014 to 2020, then COVID pushed it to $20 and even zero and negative on one day

Ballzproblem2:
Like I said watch out for France, this whole herdsmen attack is a prelude.

Tinubu is going for regular medical treatment in France, leave story. It's the treatment for the thing that was making him shake

Unlimited22:
That albino terrorist is finally leaving Manchester 😂😂

A great day

andrewbaba44:
That guy will be a good buy

Ipswich will relegate and he shouldn’t cost more than 30M

It's £40m

We shouldn't even reason it, just get agent Palmer on it since they are boys and pay the money

Strasbourg watchers, how Una see Diego Moreira performances at left back for Strasbourg? We can easily buy him back

airmark:
Ibime leave the scorer, dey hail a striker that got caught in 4 offsides, 1 yellow card, no goal, no assist and removed for his uselessness.

Enzo!!!

You no Sabi watch ball

70 points in a Gameweek like this is not bad at all

3 points in the bag

Jackson back and attack looking like it has structure again

Telling that Nkunku didn't even come on, no one wants to stomach his disgusting and weak football

I love this Djed Spence guy, always have. I don't know why Conte did him dirty.

Sanchez you beauty

This Neto is brainless

Wetin this mumu ref dey overcheck. This shows he is biased

Biafra boy is back

SMH

How many people in the country will benefit from the money market vs the total working population? This is exactly what brought about the Trump economic populism, Many people are being left behind, The people who used to work in plants don't have a job anymore because their jobs are offshore, 15yrs ago it was go and learn coding, All the coding jobs are now being shipped to India and Eastern Europe

I know medical doctors whose jobs are now being threatened because tele medicine is taking their jobs abroad. Radiologists now have their charts sent abroad to doctors in Asia who charge about 10% of what an American will charge

You need some form of protectionism for local jobs. 60% of jobs in America there is someone somewhere in the world who will do it for 30% of what an American will charge.

Its not uncommon to see young people graduate from top US Universities have 100k in student loans but cant get any job. In 2 uber rides you are guaranteed to get a Bachelors holder who cant get a job

It pays the business men to get cheap labor, cheaper goods it makes their profit margin larger, Even Trump as a business man it pays him to use foreign labor, foreign goods for all his businesses as he pays lower

If we continue in that trajectory, how long before the 75% of the country need to be on govt assistance

In a money market, you make your living in value adding. Sales, Insurance etc while there will always be blue collar jobs for those who are that way inclined - building, plumber, electrician, fishermen etc

Standing in factory assembly line is old news for any rich economy. You don't have to make iPhone, there is more money to be made selling structured finance for an iPhone and data plans. Let the Chinese make those shits. Where do you think the money is, in making an iPhone with input cost of $20, or in services, sales and logistics in the other $980 that makes iPhone final sales price land at $1k?

Just like the money in Cocoa is not in the production of Cocoa by the farmer in Africa which involves much labour for pennies of input cost, but the efforts that go into creating value to land at the $10 Dubai chocolate which is taking over social media now.

How many Americans can you employ in manufacturing today, even at an inflection point when AI and automation have taken over.

Trillions of wealth have been wiped off for some tens of billions of investment, including 401ks, investments etc, disposable income that will make you do that house extension and give work to Bob the builder and Joe the Plumber.

They should hurry up and crash the markets quickly and fully, drop interest rates and reintroduce quantitative easing so those of us waiting on the sidelines can start to deploy

BTW unemployment is at historic lows so the money market is working perfectly in providing jobs, people just need to shift their expectations of what working life looks like now Vs 50 years ago

When you signal to the World you are unreliable, rent-seeking, policy flipflopping and anti open markets, yet the main reason you are rich is because of the Trust (in dollar, rule of law, open markets) that makes the world put their money into your markets, you are hustling backward.
