That good league dey dull them from going abroad and getting exposure

Many small African nations now will just go to Europe pack all the players who can trace their ancestry to the Nation and put them on the field

Roland17:
Onyeka impressed me the most.

Ibime:
Ola Aina as back up for £10m, very OK. If you watched Super Eagles matches over the last year, you will know Aina is very decent for backup at the least and better than that Dumbfries Tuchel is chasing by far

BlueRayDick:

We just need to strike a balance between this attack and defense thing.

If you score 5 goals in a match and concede 6, will you praise your attack for scoring 5 in a match or will you blame you defense for conceding 6?

Conversely,if you concede just 1 goal but scored zero, will you praise your defense for being tight enough to concede "just" 1 goal or will you blame your attack for not being able to score any?

While our attack need massive improvement to convert chances created, our defense also need to tighten up. Individual errors in defense have cost us a lot this season. So yes, defense is also our problem.

In 2004/05 when Mourinho broke the record of least goals conceded in the league, we scored 72 goals. Arsenal in second scored 87..... The amount of 1-0 matches we played that season was uncountable.

2020/21 when Tuchel won us UCL, we conceded just 4 goals all campaign. 4 goals in 13 matches!

Make una no dey underrate the importance of defense in football.

My wife learnt this the hard way. When I was telling her, she will say promotion comes from God

When she stayed four years on the same grade, she finally listened to me and eventually got promoted in her fifth year. Now she's sure of promotion every three years.

hensben:
This is why stat is deceiving. Lukaku doesn’t have the technical ability to be consider a top striker or mention beside names you mentioned.

⚡Pakistan warns Iran of incoming consequences after Iranian strikes inside Pakistani territory kills civilians including two Pakistani children.

You think it will magically stop kidnapping? America that has all the technology records that every 40 seconds, a child goes missing or is abducted in the United States with approximately 810,000 people missing/kidnapped yearly.

DissTroy:
Another annoying part about these unfortunate incidences is, some of us are caught in the midst of patriotism, self-preservation, and civil responsibility to speak out.

I've got a thousand issues I want to address about the Nigerian situation on my Facebook and Twitter timelines, but as a remote service provider and someone seeking to collaborate across border lines, I know I'd be shooting myself in the foot by shitting on my country like I should because of the optics.

How do I marry complaining about the prevalent epileptic power supply, the unreliability of ISPs, insecurity, and endemic corruption at all strata of our national life yet seek to work remotely and want to be trusted as a Nigerian while advising people in these places to outsource to more Nigerians and even pitch their tents with us?

How do I rant on about the pervasive corruption yet not expect these people to question my integrity as one in the system?

How do I marry national pride in the comity of internationals where we are discussing about advancements in digital tech and other areas when a quick perusal of my timeline depicts me being a citizen of a seeming Banana Republic?

So, here I am waking up daily with lengthy drafts I know I can't post on my time save for the nested comments of some Facebook page or group, and at intervals on the pages of the EPL Chatroom thread on Nairaland, yet my timeline doesn't reflect the reality my countrypersons rake on about daily.

I convince myself it's patriotism - national pride, but the voices in my head sneer knowing DissTroy is avoiding the obvious - it's more, and it's also about self-preservation so the picture of my country I paint right on my own timeline doesn't hurt my chances.

And I feel this raging conflict everyday even when folks ask me to write more about such issues when they encounter my back-and-forths in the abovementioned corners of the internet. But how do I really explain to them why I am writing only about tech and life and ideologies and pictures when I possibly can address my country's sociopoliticoeconomic issues too on my timeline?

This is the dilemma the Nigerian situation has put me in even as I draft another lengthy reply in a WhatsApp group I know would never go on my timeline. And I know I am not the only one in this fix. Damn, Nigeria!

GloriousGbola:
No that has already happened. From 2010 there was a mass exodus of wealthy northerners to lagos at the height of the boko harams powers.

And of course they are trying to import the 'values' they are running away from to liberal lagos.

Realmrsean:
ibime too rates him

But not as fanactic as itsrm
