All I know is we can't afford two gambles in a row

Nagelsmann is as much a gamble as Potter, Kompany would be another extreme gamble

Poch is tried and tested at least to consistent top 4 level in EPL and is used to working with madmen like Boehly like he did with Levy

I no dey rate manager on PSG performance where the big 3 players shi for you and stop you implementing your own tactics. Based on Spurs performance, Poch is qualified

.

Make dem just close eyes offer Pochettino now. It would be a blessing in disguise

Mostly for ChatGPT, majority carry the vote. Na popular views the tool dey go with.

I actually agree with the rating. I can't think of a better LB than Maldini who don dey for CB already

Maldini was a better CB than LB. Na him comfort overall defensively burgeon his reputation but I will say that what makes him great are attributes associated with CB than LB

But you see that Carlos, that one na real polling booth. He get luck say Twitter no dey then, his fail compilations for plenty. Just go and watch Denmark Vs Brazil 1998 for example. That nigga is known for wild shots, wild freekicks and not recovering to his position. I no want disrespect am but some similarities dey with Taye Taiwo

A001:
Na ChatGPT, bros. E don tell us say e dey very limited from the outset

It's actually very accurate, obviously matching keywords to get to that team

I can't argue with anybody in that team except Carlos, although I have personal preference for Xavi in midfield, I don't believe that view will be widely held

Carlos na man wey no sabi defend, wastes 50 free kicks a season trying to recreate his goal in 1997 le tournoi. Just from Germany alone, I will put three leftbacks over him, being Brehme, Breitner and Lahm.

I can only imagine what kind of billings HMRC would love to bring against big corporations, and I can definitely see why the rich do their best to dodge tax.
My wife is a social worker, so I see first hand what my tax contribution goes on, and I'm not going to lie, it's very hard to hold on to the left leaning principles of my youth. A very close friend of mine, also a Nigerian, has recently joined the Tory party...that's how hard he has skewed, and we both marched together in 2011 when the Lib Dem policy of increasing tuition fees for Home Students was implemented, and we both counter marched against the EDL in 2012 and 2013.

I still believe in some of the things I was militant about, but I'm not going to lie....I REALLY hate paying tax

Paying a reasonable level of tax is fine until politicians start becoming frivolous with it. Nobody will complain to pay tax to cover emergency services, free education to secondary school, military, infrastructure, healthcare and shelter for the homeless

It's when they start paying stuffs that should be personal responsibility that I begin to vex

eg free school meals for kids when those kids parents can afford to smoke 20 cigar per day. I still dey vex with Marcus Rashford over that matter.

The one wey off me na when Scotland mandate all public bathroom to have free tampons for women and labelled it "period poverty". So you telling me there is a single woman in Scotland that cannot put aside 50 pence from her monthly budget for that time of the month?

Roberto Carlos should not even make 5th world 11

Exclusive: The Times understands that Chelsea have been seriously considering Vincent Kompany for the vacant permanent managerial position. The 4 candidates are now Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino, Vincent Kompany and one other.

Vincent Kompany wey chop am for Anderlecht?

Show us articles that says Russia is selling crude oil to India for $49.

It's literally in the link you just quoted. Take the price of Brent ($70-$80) and remove $20 for Urals for the days they gave you

Or if you want it spelt out to you, you can look at the price of Urals in the graph below from when the price cap came in in December till date, you will see it has been ranging $49 to $60 while Brent has been between $70 and $80.

Like I said, most Putards lack financial education

VC's have been bankrolling our lifestyles for years as interest rates were kept at or near zero and many people are just finding out.

Even Amazon's core business is still unprofitable, most of their profit comes from AWS and other factors like lower net comp than other companies of their size, high turnover etc.

The tech world Is and has been run on the greater fool theory for a very long time.

Get lucky with an idea, find VCs to fund and sell to the next fool down the line.

Tesla became profitable in 2021 and the world has wisened up to the fact that It is A CAR company, not a tech company.

SpaceX might not even exist without government contracts (read: taxpayer money)

Check them Uber, Lyft, Doordash etc and see how many Unicorns are actually profitable.

The steps it'll take to make Twitter profitable might end up killing it, but we hope to God they don't.

Everything is a subscription and it is turning customers away from most things.

Btw Twitter was profitable in 2018 and 2019.

You sabi the set-up very well

Wrongful behavior can only go one way without accountability in a banana republic.

Meanwhile, ibime DP PM has resigned. The UK has been a collection of clown show since brexit.

Resigned for bullying civil servants

I bet what he said to them is not 1% of how LGA chairmen in Nigeria treat their staff

benalvino3:
Basilico is not doing Voltron. That's your specialty.

Looks like Voltron stuff to me

Minjim:
Even over ten years ago, things were not calm

2014 is not 10 years na

Turkey concessioned this job in 2010

If it was the North Korean goverywho ordered those cars then diplomatic relations between Sweden and North Korea should have broken down.

Sweden is a calm head

Obidients let's raise money for Obis blue tick, we cannot leave our dear leader unverified

Seankafor has already volunteered to pay for Lord Putin and Sergei Lavrov own

raumdeuter:
Yes o. I know a few friends who now have the tick.

Just $8 in Naira thats less than N6k

Ha, I trust our local Nigerian yeyebrities. Bluetick go full everywhere.

benalvino3:
Not Ralph,

Basilico doing Voltron?

raumdeuter:
Thats what Fvcck you money means

Anyone wey e pain should either pay up or remain unverified
Elon has to make money

Seankafor, you fit pay the money and show that you are verified Davido is not

Can we pay for bluetick without being famous?

seankafor:
they were literally been bankrolled by the democrats which In turn they (Twitter) were doing their bidding and banning and silencing their oppositions..

Musk brought us free speech 💬

Unprofitable listed companies are mostly funded by share issues. It's called equity financing.

Lyft, Jumia etc are still unprofitable, is it APC or LP funding them? Uber just turned profitable last year while Tesla turned profitable only in 2021. Who was bankrolling them before? Ghaddaffi?

For unlisted and unprofitable companies like Flutterwave etc, venture capitalists provide the operating capital until IPO when they will sell shares to the public and raise capital that way

At least as crypto dey expose you to markets, dey try take on board some things than to dey yarn anyhow.

Minjim:
Turkey is a traitor in NATO.

It tried to stop other nations from joining NATO because of its biz with Russia.

It's sad that any European nation can still be dealing with Russia. Heaven know how many are dealing with Russia secretly.

Ukraine had better wise up

It takes more than 10 years to plan and build a nuclear power plant. This plant would have been concessioned over a decade ago when things were calm.

Sportsweb:
This is a top Tuchel critic giving the man his flowers. Well said.

Tuchel may not be the best manager in the world but he is very very good

I've always rated Tuchel on the pitch

My problem with him came in the summer transfer window, and his poor vision for the club. These are expensive mistakes Tuchel has left us to undo for years that deserve flogging, and will take half a decade to clear out. These mistakes alone worth the sack, but I can't fault him on the pitch. Not a single one of Tuchel signings was healthy for the club after £300m, and the type of players he targeted were not healthy either

Koulibaly
Aubameyang
Lukaku
Sterling
Cukuruku

Ibime:
I will answer when you tell me the last time you played 6 finals in 12 months.

I have never considered Chelsea more than a top4 team since 2010. Not even when Mourinho and Conte won titles, I knew it was an overachievement and their inability to maintain it proved that given we had so many weaknesses. So far Tuchel achieved top4 while winning some cups and reaching regular finals, he is over performing.

popizaino:
The win was on Chelsea aura as well as Tuchel himself. Anybody saying it on Tuchel alone should tell me why he couldn't win with a better PSG or do a Chelsea with a better Bayern Munich.

Tuchel took people by suprise with the 3-4-3. It took Pep and others almost a year to work it out.

When the win is precipitated by a major tactical change, you have to give it to the manager. Grant just played the standard formation with the same players

DiMatteo win was on Di Matteo because he made some obvious changes like moving Ramires to the wing, moving Lampard to the double pivot, and parking a double decker bus

popizaino:
The magical aura is why a coach without any pedigree could go all the way in the UCL and make the finals,drag the league until the last day,made the carling cup finals. No team with Avram Grant will achieve that except Chelsea.

Avram Grant had a team of leaders that ran the dressing room and tactics themselves. They didn't lose a single game after Avram Grant first game

The team Tuchel took over were not of that ilk. That win was on Tuchel

nnatobryno:
The story doesnt add up. 70m/1000 = $70k per car in the 70s. The volvo na bullet proof. Forget west and their propaganda.

Contracts like these usually come with yearly inflationary uplift with non payment

Sweden is one of the few countries that maintain embassy in North Korea. Sweden has always had neutrality in Wars for the last 200 years and often act as negotiators. North Korea imported a whole lot of items not just Volvo and the debt is over $300m

Capaldi:
Back to back champions league finals with two different teams. Took us from 4 consecutive round of 16 Champions league elimination to Champions with bums like Mount. It would have been back to back champions league finals with Chelsea if that useless piece of stick called Mendy didn't develop brain fart.

Thank God Mount isn't playing this season sha, let your skillers Felix and Havertz show the creativity we've been missing. Oh boy, if Mount play this season Una for turn am into sacrificial lamb.

You were looking forward to Felix and Havertz combination. In the words of Mason Mount, "if e easy, do am"

Capaldi:
Graham is going to serve us another dose of a boring 0:0 draw. The only reason am looking forward to this match is the link up of Havertz and Felix with Mount on the bench.

Appleyard:
The paper quoted said their revenue from crude export increased compared to same time last year, so what are you talking about? Moreover, it shows that the sanctions were merely academic in name.

Where did the paper say that

The paper said their barrels increased to deceive gullible folks like you to your conclusion while they sell at deep discount

That their revenue has fallen is no secret. Last year March they received $1.2 trln rubles, this year March $688 bln.

DeadPresidents:
Methinks engineers should be employed as engineers actually building shit not moonlighting as glorious danfo drivers.

Nigerian Army needs a much larger Army Engineering corps to tackle some of our infrastructure challenges and provide emergency response to disasters. We should start there first. That's one of the themes Tinubu should have proposed to bolster the Armed Forces rather than just 50,000 agbado

Chickens coming home to roost after sponsoring paramilitaries like supporter of APC to destabilise South Sudan pre independence?

How did Nairaland autocorrect jãnjaweed in the above to "Supporter of APC"

So Seun na coded Obidient?

WritterNig:
Attach 🔗 links ASAP.

Most Putards lack financial education and easily deceived by propaganda, that's why someone will tell you they are selling more barrels and hide that their revenue is going down materially which is the key piece of information. The price cap is really hammering Urals

i see. so basically ASML design and TSMC/ Samsung fabricate.

does this also apply to intel and AMD processors? designed by them and fabricated by TSMC/Samsung

ASML supply the machines on licence which they all use to fabricate. Design is mostly done in the US. It applies to everyone. Nobody in this world is capable of fabricating a sub 10nm chip without ASML machines. No reverse engineering of their machines has been successful.

Shoodboi:
That is why I said you should read up on Moore's law. Military equipment and weapons don't care about space. A small bomb can easily weigh 200kg. That's enough space to fit a microchip irrespective of the size.

And the same applies for vehicles, missiles, jets, rockets, and all.

How much processor do you think the Soviets and US had in the rockets they used to get to space, Venus, Mars and even the moon?

Many Tecno phones even have better processors than those rockets. Yet, the rockets got it done.

So why do you think military weapons need better and smaller processors/microchips?

It makes no difference. Almost every weapon today is based on technology developed 30/40/50 years ago.

Weapons take decades to manufacture. Take the F-35 for instance. Research on it began in 1995 and that research was based on the Soviet Yak 141 which research began in 1975.

That's 30-50 years ago. What tech was used to develop it? What microchips were used? 2023 microchips? Or 1995 microchips?

Moore's law states that microchips get smaller, not better. A 1995 microchip will do what a 2023 one can do. The difference is that the 1995 own will be larger. But size isn't an issue since it will fit into a weapon.

Weapons are a broad field. Stop disturbing yourself unnecessarily. Access to those nanochips have implications across all fields of advanced human technology. Every video I have watched from experts on this field mention weapons as well as AI, phones and cars. Unless you know every weapon system in the world, you can rant about your 2 tonne bombs till the cows come home

Every chip making company in the world fabricating sub 10nm chips do so on licence from ASML. They are a world monopoly
