So nomination for Player of the year Rodri didn't even get in but VVD did

Which is why awards are nonsense

Good news.

I done escape another dragging.

Simi and Wike beef is just bad news for Rivers

Everybody dey build him war chest, we never see one piece of development

afrodoc2:
Na true na.

Lack of naval superiority derailed the Spanish Armada. Lack of naval superiority derailed Napoleon. Lack of air superiority derailed Hitler.
Downsizing down finish RN and RAF. Na why dem dey gum to US like esteemo.

Give UK credit. Their word is their bond.

Because of agreement with common Poland, UK declare war on Hitler when they could have just let Poland go.

As Russia been dey threaten Sweden and Finland couple years back, next day, UK fly go there go sign the same security agreement with them. They back their talks with their balls.

afrodoc2:
The reason the UK could utilize its island status was because of its naval superiority over its enemies for centuries, and when air forces became a major factor by WW2 the RAF could go toe to toe with the Luftwaffe. The UK's military capabilities are significantly reduced now compared to when they had the resources of their empire to siphon. If they go toe to toe with a country like the US for instance both the navy and air force would be overwhelmed, and Yankee Doodle will come to many English towns.

Yankee and UK na 2 sides of the same coin na.

How you think say UK use get nuclear weapon, they were part of joint collaboration with USA on developing nukes in WW2

Parapo dey inside parapo. USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand na circle within a circle, called The 5 Eyes.

raumdeuter:
They can land men on an Island but with a very steep human casualty even the weakened Normandy beach still cost Allied forces about 30K soldiers in one day. Japan will even be worse Unless you first clear the land of any Japanese hostility though air bombardment

Na why I talk say that Taiwan landing go hard China, some niggas no believe

In this day of air drones and sea drones, tens or hundreds of thousands of Chinese will turn fish food before they even hit the beach. And the number of men they land will need to be like a million to take Taiwan. Now no be 2nd World War wey allies go bring plenty ship and nobody go see them

China get little choice but to blockade Taiwan and starve them out

TemporaryHansel:
If not for yankee una for dey speak German for UK by now. Egbon, no be only you dey read history books oh.

UK is undefeated at home. Only Yankee defeated them in away match (War of Independence)

Between UK and Soviet Union, Hitler for still crumble. Hitler overextended himself in Russian winter

TemporaryHansel:
@Raumdeuter If the UK and Nigeria were to fight a war today, and the UK decides to use drones, does that mean it’s no longer a one-on-one situation because of the drones? Since the UK owns and operates the drones, it still counts as a one-on-one scenario as long as no other country interferes.

UK is an Island. You can't land enough men on British soil to defeat UK, that's why Hitler gave up on it. Even Yankee dare not land men on Japan soil and had to use nuclear bomb to settle the matter.

TemporaryHansel:
Didn’t Japan humiliate China prior to the 2nd world war?

If I remember correctly, it was a one-on-one.

Japan did not defeat China as there was no surrender. That war was still active for 8 years from 1937 to 1945 and China was happy to lose millions and still keep fighting. Over time, Japan would have run out of men.

TemporaryHansel:
If that's the case, it means Israel would never defeat Iran in a 1 vs 1. The same would apply to a conflict between the USA and Russia, as protests would likely erupt after only 1 to 3 million casualties, possibly leading to government overthrow. In contrast, even if 40 million people were to die in Russia, there might not be any protests.

Nobody will attack USA. No carry USA play oh. Shebi it's Hitler abi Japan emperor that said forget invading USA, everybody there get gun and knows how to use it

WhoDeyHause:
All these just to be flogged by the giant killer Usyk.

My boy go demystify Usyk

Gypsy King is in shape. He no come play with Usyk at all

Yes, it's very likely. Outside nuclear weapon, Israel will lose because Iran have the tactical advantage. Iran surround Israel but Israel cannot get to Iran. Israel would have to conquer Iraq and Syria just to get to Iran, while Iran can march from their home through those 2 countries and get to Israel with their supply lines intact. Infact half of Iraq will join them. Israel also do not even have anywhere to retreat if battle turn against them

TemporaryHansel:
You’re always making excuses for Israel. If not for corruption and misgovernance, even Nigeria would probably be powerful enough to whoop Israel in a 1 vs 1 fight. Israel is the most overrated country on this planet.

Na facts actually. War can be about who is willing to die and sacrifice their citizens and Israel is too soft for that.

France gave up to Germany after only 200,000 soldier deaths in WW2, they didn't send their civilians to go and die until Germany was exhausted

Soviet Union gave up 27m people and didn't quit, they kept sending civilians in human wave to chop German bullet until the Germans were exhausted

Iran would give up 1/3rd of their population and continue fighting while Israel will give up after 5% of their population is wiped out. So Iran will win by attrition alone. Saddam.thought he was flogging Iran during Iraq-Iran war only for Iran to keep sending people like zombies until Saddam was exhausted.

I dey talk wetin I dey read. Na my current reading be this.

monerozi5590:
Modric is football and football is Modric. Football Is in him. He does things with the ball that will make you screem in excitement. E d body. We call him godric for a reason. With all of Xavi's statistics he will still bow in the presence of godric.

Na Modric dey bow when dem face each other

But some guys dey underrate Modric speed sha, I dey always hear say him done old. With his speed and body size, it is no surprise he is still going and still outworking most midfielders. See as he chase Pavlovic catch am last night on that counterattack

It's just like when Chelsea players are running back from corner to stop a counter, I always see Thiago Silva out sprinting all the young boys to catch the man on counter

TemporaryHansel:
Why does Israel receive military aid to deal with a smaller adversary like Hamas? I've mentioned before that with all the help Israel gets against a small group like Hamas, they wouldn't stand a chance in a one-on-one fight against Iran. I wish I could find and share my previous post on this, but I don’t know how to dig up old posts, nor do I have the time. I believe I made that post last year.

Ergonomics.

Israel is a small and vulnerable country. In a war they would have nowhere to retreat to, so they must win the first battle

Most countries that won wars retreated far into their own territory before reorganising and counterattacking. Israel does not have that luxury due to their size.

In addition they value their citizens life on the same level as developed countries so most of their aid is on missile defence to prevent casualties

All these countries where life is meaningless are ready to throw humans after humans at the matter till they achieve victory. For Western nations, once 10,000 done die, their appetite for war go quench whilst all dem Russia, Iran, China will lose 10 million people and nothing spoil. Iran showed they are ready to lose from 500,000 to a million people in their war with Iraq. If Israel lose just 200,000 people, they would quit. A quarter of Israelis have dual citizenship, na dem go first run, while the other 75% will be given asylum in any Western country of their choice based on WW2 guilt. Life too soft.

liveLongNprospa:
Under 70mins, that man dropped that.

He's on his way to win his 6th UCL as a starter😁.
By the time we are done with his career, you go bowl for the result.

A40 we thank you people for selling him to us

I done bow for the result but Modric also own that result and him be Xavi junior boy

liveLongNprospa:
Ibime.
What 34yr old Kroos did yesterday

He did well. But Xavi still senior am.

Ballzproblem2:
Todd Boehly: “Hopefully, [Chelsea midfielder] Cole Palmer will become a household name [in the U.S.] soon. He’s been a phenomenon for us and so we’re thinking hard about how we continue to expand our brand in the U.S. That’s ultimately a priority as well” (via @TheAthleticFC)

Wetin this mumu dey yarn

We dey reason how to return Chelsea to a big club again, he done start him American yarns

A40:
Gnabry already out, then you take out Sane, Musiala and Kane with 6 minutes left at the Bernabeu?

Absolute insanity. What are you seeing out with minimum of 15 minutes left factoring added time. And worse if they equalize we're talking another 30+ minutes of a game you have been on the back foot throughout.

It was pathetic by Tuchel. No top club worth their onions will consider him worthy of hiring.

That 9 mins of extra time was as a result of the 2 goals and all the VAR checks. Na 6 mins of normal time left be the expectation and that is usually the time you make that kain sub

Leyqute:
He offers no threats whatsoever. Removing Kane and Musiala gave Madrid more confidence. And that’s what pulled them through.

He stretches the game more than Kane. A manager would hope to sit back and pump balls to a striker who can run the lines in the last few minutes. Kane can't do that better than Choupo.

Make una free Tuchel. Choupo Moting is faster than Kane and a good hold-up/counterattacking striker to see out the last few minutes of a game. He followed a typical managers playbook.

Madrid and UCL na 5 and 6

Neuer has done it

BlueRayDick:
I just always have a funny feeling about that malta , in fact my mind always see it as an Asian country and not an European country .

The problem with this japa movement is that u fit see country with nice immigration settings , but they won't allow u bring spouse in. Some will allow u bring spouse but the money u will need will be a major drawback .

You are not wrong

The Maltese are ethnically Phoenicians (Lebanese) by ethnicity and are located not far from Sicily (Italian Mafia) who have heavy influence on them, so wuruwuru and cutting corners dey their blood

larride:
I really haven't seen much information about relocating to Ireland, care to share more light on possible pathways ?

I only know of UK guys going there for work, na to research am oh

OasisX:
......exactly! I have some friends happily enjoying their lives in those nations. One even came to Nigeria last year, did Marriage and returned with his wife.

Dude is doing lecturing job that comes with free accommodation package.

My guy from here just went to Bermuda as their Finance Secretary to the Govt. That makes him the no2 man in the Finance Ministry after the Finance Minister. That job was unfilled for 3 years. It is clear that they have lack of skills to fill some jobs in Carribbean

https://www.royalgazette.com/general/news/article/20240403/chidozie-ofoegowo-named-financial-secretary/

Afrodoc also did his Japa through Trinidad and met my cousin there who Japa through the same route. A lot of Nigerian doctors Japa through there. Those people have just enough money to provide good jobs by Nigerian standards but don't have enough of their population highly educated to fill those roles

Unlimited22:
Yeah I forgot The Netherlands and Belgium

I didn't put Switzerland because it is friigggin Expensive

Switzerland na for if you get scholarship. Or second stage of Japa, If you get professional job there, you done make am

One plate of chips and one sausage for Switzerland na €40

larride:
Portugal nko?

Portugal no pure. Dem no get money like that, and racist attitudes dey.

Put it this way, black Portuguese run to UK for better life. That's how I met my gee from Angola I once spoke about who emigrated back to Angola

I get one guy for Portugal now sha who should be in final stages of PHD. I don't think he's doing too great from observation, but I no want too ask am question make bill no land.

Unlimited22:
Abeg if you no dey go Yankee or Canny, make sure say you dey go Western or Northern Europe.

Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Ireland

If e bad France, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Spain

If e pass like this, just make sure you're going legally and you have a plan to transition immediately.

Gbam

Move Denmark and Austria into the top category. Add Holland, Belgium and Switzerland.

Comot Italy completely. Spain sef no too pure.

TemporaryHansel:
Spending 50m to relocate to the UK seems like a wrong move rn. UK wey don cast finish.

UK market over worth am. The job market for professionals is extremely robust. But you must be polished in UK. Communication is very important to them. If you see a Nigerian struggling here, it's usually cos they can't speak clearly or have confidence issues with communication

But if I'm trying to Japa now, I would prefer Ireland. Ireland has more finance and IT jobs than people to fill them. Irish companies are always coming to UK to steal staff.

OasisX:
......I don't know why we ain't looking at some African Nations that are doing fine economically.

I have a friend in Senegal earning equivalent to $2,000 per month plus free accommodation. Cape verde, Mauritius, Botswana can offer good pay and treat us as Expatriates.

No IELT required, No Visa required and you will be treated like King. One can japa to any of these nations as stepping stone to western world.

Botswana, Namibia, Cape Verde, Kenya can absorb some of us.

Carribbean countries can also absorb plenty as first step to Japa especially in Medicine, IT and Finance

BlueRayDick:
What do think about Malta?

Is it a place worth it? Like if my spouse wants to school and I go as dependant; are there jobs there?

My fear is that I don't want to resign a decent paying job here, going with my spouse as dependent only to resort to jamajama job over there with no prospect of getting a better job. That's my fear with those European countries

Malta no pure

Anything Mediterranean especially Italy, Greece and Malta, avoid

I have been to Malta and dem no get money like that. Everyday thousands of tall black guys (most likely Senegalese, Bissau etc) will line up the streets, obviously jobless and waiting for work, and Maltese builders will come and scoop a few of them for work, and will obviously pay them less than minimum wage. If you see the way they slave under hot sun ehn, the sun in Malta is scorching and can be hotter than Naija

Any European country where you see that they ignore illegal immigrants (without providing housing for them) just know they don't have economic prospect for you. They then allow the immigrants to work illegally for pittance and turn a blind eye since they can't provide housing for them. Italy, Greece and Malta are chief amongst these
