If Osimehn wins Serie A best player of the year and African footballer of the year, he moves to top 5 Nigeria player of all time for me and pushes Okocha out from my top 10 Nigerian of all time
His story is not fully written yet. He needs to perform at some tournaments with Naija

Finidi and Oliseh remain my top 2 for now

In the Last 13 games Jorginho played any part in was from West Ham on September 3 to Jan 21. Chelsea had 6 wins(West Ham, Palace twice, Wolves, Bournemouth, Villa). 4 draws (Liverpool, Brentford Man Utd and Forest). Lost 3 (Fulham Newcastle and Arsenal)
So last 13 games where Jorginho played any part = 22points

The 13 games since February without Jorginho. 2 wins Leeds Leicester, 4 draws and 7 losses = 10points

If Chelsea maintained the same gradient they would have 12more points and 12points from top 4 not 24points
I said last 13 domestic games

That's because Southampton has gotten worse progressively through the season

Maybe we should ask how many points Aston Villa Liverpool and Brighton were from top 4 in January and how many points from top 4 are they now

Point is Chelsea got worse after Jorginho left
Chelsea maintained the same gradient in Jogginghoes last 13 domestic games and our last 13 domestic games

If your gradient is less that the top 4, they will continue to pull away

Building infrastructure as a President won't get you any kudos in Nigeria.

Nigerians just want you to fight inflation, stuff that hits their pocket directly. And that power is often out of a Presidents hand.

If it's by infrastructure, IBB remains the GOAT for building this, yet Nigerians couldn't wait to chase him out. You borrow to build train lines through bandit country, who are you deceiving. We all know insecurity will put those investments out of action shortly. What of this trans Saharan pipeline they are supposedly planning to Algeria? Anyone think that's a good idea?

Lithiumite:
I beg to differ,the aggressor in all ramifications is Russia because they have failed to realise that time as have changed and Ukraine is an independent nation free to align with whomever they please......Russia had tried to influence Ukranian politics by influencing leaders also Russia as had military operations in Georgia,Crimea and the Donbass totally taking over those territories.

Whatever ideological war Russia is facing against the west,the way Russia as gone about it depicts Russia as the war monger and the aggressor who is ready to kill anyone just to boost their ego of being a world power.

You don't force people to respect you,you have to earn it,that's the type of respect that is mutual and organic and would last a long time.
That guy is a fool

Only Russia invade Georgia, invade Ukraine, trying to invade Moldova, but it's Ukraine fault for wanting to join EU

Where were these fools when Russia poisoned Ukraine president in 2004 and had his face looking like a frog.

Ransomware:
really? Ok, from my little experience in combat and with how air defence is positioned, this looks like a false flag.

When a defensive perimeter is set, it is layered. Let me explain.
From the boarders of russia and ukraine will be batteries of anti air projectiles, and every few miles in will be another battery of joy killers waiting and tracking anything that flies,
Now the boarder from ukraine is 300 miles from moscow, but this relatively cheap 10k dollars chinese made drone evaded all the anti air technologies, flew 300 miles and was just shot down 100 yards from impact? Really who writes this shit.
Now look at the altitude it exploded, anti air would have destroyed that drone way to high in the sky to make for good tv and false flag/ indoctrination video.
This was an altitude set explosion with minimal damage, the camera was just primed to capture the explosion with the kremlin in the picture.

Too easy
It was a poor Nollywood script

Russia is scared of the coming counteroffensive and is looking for an excuse to bomb civilians in Kiev till Kiev withdraws the counteroffensive

They also need a reason to mobilise their populace and to justify future terrorist acts

He played against you and decimated your okirika midfield. And Chelsea was on course to join top 4 until jorginho left and they are now battling relegation. Happy trophyless season and prosperous out of European contest new season
How was Chelsea on course to join top 4 when Jogginghoe left? Chelsea was 10th when Jogginghoe left and we had a terrible record of 2 wins our last 13 domestic games on the day he left. Since he left, we have 2 wins in our last 13 domestic games, so what's the difference? Some of Una brain computer can't store memory

So the projects buhari did with this 22trillion naira loan, was it worth it that he mortgaged our future?

Feel free to argue but the reality is everybody that is not remotely a very very rich man in this country will be in for a long hard ride. 😁
He mortgaged the future

Buharis only selling point as a leader is that he could always execute projects (building our refineries, Petroleum Trust Fund) etc. In the absence of Govt revenues, he has played to his old stereotypes, chasing projects upandan when it is not judicious to do so. Unfortunately, Tinubu is playing to the same populism.

Being a leader during times of reduced revenue is not sweet. It's a time to cut your cloth to size and be honest with the people. Unfortunately, not many leaders are capable of this.

One of the best examples of a leader that can implement austerity is David Cameron, the former British Prime Minister. Nigga was so good at it, he campaigned on "austerity" and cutting spending.

Emmanuel Macron is also good at telling people what they don't want to hear. Currently he is telling the French they have to up retirement age to 64 thus adding two more years of tax-bearing years to Govt revenue while simultaneously removing 2 years of pension payments. The lazy French are busy rioting about it, while most countries retire at 65 to 67.

Can the economics gurus in the house tell us the implications of all this news we're reading on the Internet about how heavily indebted Nigeria is under the outgoing Buhari government?

If it's not math, physics, philosophy, or programming, I no too understand all these economics terms such as bonds and co. And I no get time to research on it.

Oga Ibime, abeg what are the implications of converting loans to bonds? How do you think these high loan figures and recent developments will affect the incoming Tinubu administration, especially economically?
Bond and loan na the same thing, except a bond is more easily traded between third parties and often has slightly less interest. Defaulting on bond payments is worse than defaulting on a loan to say IMF though because the minute you default on bond, the markets will attack your currency, while the IMF and other Nation creditors are more forgiving

Nigeria should take heed from Cuba's experience. Cuba owed Japan and the Paris Club of nations 85% of their debt and the other 15% to private markets. Japan and Paris Club forgave Cubas debt for pennies on the dollar, while their private Creditors sold their debt on to Vulture funds. Those Vulture funds are pressing Cuba neck today and wrecking their economy for that money. In summary, it is better to owe another nation or group of nations (who often forgive debt - see how George Bush forgave all African Countries debt in OBJ era), than to owe private entities in the form of bonds.

The incoming administration is already dead. All Nigerians should open dollar account with whatever they are not using to protect themselves

Derby County last played in EPL in 2007/2008 yet in 2018, 10 years later, Lambards excuse is that they were still paying EPL players? grin grin grin

Oya who were the 2008 legacy Premiership players that were still collecting salary under Lambard?
Well you are right, but the point stands. All their players earning £20k to £35k are legacy players that the club mismanaged, not his players. All his players earned £8k and below except one

You can diss him for this last year performance, but as far as his performance at Derby, mba, that was an overachievement for a club in dire financial straits, and that's what got him the Chelsea job. You can never downplay his Derby achievement. His Chelsea first year achievement was acceptable as was his Everton first year achievement. This we are seeing now, Khadiri Ikhana won't try it, and my argument is it's out of his hands.

When your tactics is wrong it will look as if there is no motivation. Dead the idea that pep Guardiola or any other good coach can't motivate this crop of players to win.


What is left to play for is that it shouldn't be worse than it is now.
They won't be motivated this season by any interim. Pep won't be an interim. They would.listen to a big permanent manager because they know their future playing time and career is linked to the permanent manager. As for any interim forget it. Season is over, they are showing their displeasure with Boehly decisions. 70% of them can't wait to get to summer with instructions on their agents to find a way out.

Boehly just need to stay out of football decisions. He is the first American owner to be putting his nose in everything, the other Americans respect themselves.

What is capology? Is this a website for cappers? grin

There are 24 teams in Championship. Derby under Lambard had the 6th most expensive team according to transfermakt which you like to quote.

Lambard actually finished 6th on the table. So what is the big deal if man with the 6th most expensive team finished 6th?

Norwich and Sheffield United both had less expensively assembled teams than Lambard and gained automatic promotion to the EPL with 1st and 2nd placed finishes respectively.

Your capology website tells us that Derby had higher wage bills under Lambard than Norwich (finished 1st place), Sheffield United (finished 2nd place), and Leeds (finished 3rd place)

Lambard finished 6th. SIXTH. NUMBER 6

So what exactly are you singing Lambard's praises for? He clearly underachieved by your own websites!
You are using capology for plenty capping grin

Now Derby had many legacy players from their old stint in the Premiership who were on wages of £20k to £35k from their Premiership stint and doing nothing

Lampard came in. And all his signings were earning £8k and below except one. I have highlighted them below, putting paid to your theory that he put them in financial trouble

He made profit on transfers, reduced their wage bill significantly and improved their result

They had the 8th highest wage bill in the Championship, not the 1st and those were all on legacy Premiership players that had been flopping, not Lampards players. You can see the wages of these players in the second pic. If Lampards signings wages were extrapolated through the whole squad, it would place them between 20th and 24th for wages.

And lastly Derby had been on financial trouble way before Lampard. It was known. He probably delayed their administration by one year by cutting their wage bill and making profit on transfers. Third pic below shows their financial troubles beforehand. The owner had to buy the stadium to save them from breaching FFP before Lampard joined.

But to the point, it is an overachievement and someone who did that, took Chelsea young boys to 4th place, in the process realising tens of millions of pounds of profit on players like Abraham, Tomori, Guehi, Lamptey and even Mount and James to come that we would have not otherwise realised, saved an Everton from relegation despite the experience of Benitez leading them there. Such a manager is not as bad as what we are seeing. There is something deeper and the main underlying issue is Boehly playing with the players careers and making foolish decisions at every turn, and the players are showing it on the pitch.
