PoliteActivist: How do you know how tall he is? He could have just said he is thin, but he said he is thin AND small. Also the 35kg could have been just to emphasize he is really small
If he is really 35kg then he is really short and that's the main problem, not his weight
My 6 year old daughter is 4 ft tall, skinny and weighs 25kg. How will a grown man be claiming 35kg unless he is extremely vertically challenged
Any man over 5 ft 5 will weigh 50kg at least even after 1 year of hunger and famine
.... Omo! Naija trained Teachers can't teach in the UK o.
https://twitter.com/MohAli___/status/1606991454999842816?t=ziiFuZer77hfr9h94dEbaw&s=19[/font][/quote]No normal Naijaman can teach in UK. Even we that were trained in Naija system showed teachers sege. I remember how we frustrated life out of our A Levels Economics teacher telling her to her face that we run the class and she is a poor teacher. It was later that she told me she is good friends with my Aunty, shame catch me. I tried to then get my colleagues on her side but the template was already set for her. I ended up dropping her course cos no learning was taking place in that environment.
Still, japa is japa and UK Govt are opening up japa route for teachers in March. If teaching no favour, you can blend something else
Havertz10: Looking for alternatives is more dangerous to western nations than a nuclear attack, but no need to spoil the mood of the day with some hard truths
So enjoy your chicken that has been overly processed to the point that it taste like cardboard
In God we Trust literally means we trust your sense of justice and fairness, your legal process, your rule of law and your democracy, so we are comfortable holding our wealth in your hands. We trust that our money won't be taken from us on the whims of a dictator like what happened to Jack Ma, numerous Russian Oligarchs, Saudi Princes and MKO Abiola
You are yet to see that people hold dollar because there is no autocrat that will turn them from a billionaire to a pauper at the click of a finger like what happens in the countries you idolise
If sanctions should be lifted on Russia today, Russian Oligarchs will still still rush to store their wealth in dollars because Putin cannot pauperise them easily in dollar like he has done to dozens of Oligarchs before.
Any wahala anywhere in the world, we run to dollar. Every billionaire or multi-millionaire holds vast majority of their wealth in dollar. That's why despite dollar being printed egregiously, they are still rushing it.
Besides, China is interested in a strong dollar so their exports stay competitive, so nobody is buying that lamba
You literally posted a screenshot saying greenback is too strong and increasing in strength this year hence the search for alternative. I thought it's supposed to have collapsed by now? You never see something
BlaqFaze: mehn....he gave his all to Napoli, he doesn't have the pace anymore to compete at the highest level (or the pace to do "legacy defending"...fifa players go understand.
He should learn tactical defending from Thiago and Van Dijk
I rather feel he got too comfortable in Napoli and did not keep up his.physical condition
That's what happens when you are a big fish in a small pond for too long and operating on cruise control.. it can easily happen to centrebacks and they won't be exposed unlike fullbacks or midfielders where if your sharpness drop, everyone can tell and you will lose your spot. Centrebacks can cruise for a long time below physical condition. We can see it with VVD at Liverpool
benalvino3: Do you mean 2022? Tesla is in the EV market, LCID is down 85%. in fact all the players in the EV are in a worse position than tesla
EV start-ups are narrative stocks which pumped in the post-Covid bubble as retail investors and Reddit crowd searched for "the Next Tesla" eg. NIO, LCID etc
Those are small caps which pump fast and crash fast as it doesn't take much volume to move price in small caps. Tesla is not a small cap but a behemoth which had higher marketcap than the next 5 automakers put together. It's behaving like a small cap because it's a pump and dump. Other automakers are down 20-45%, while Tesla is down 70% and will continue sliding
benalvino3: that's hilarious coming from a guy defending a disgraced Ponzi scheme thief SBF. Arguing that stealing people's money by using it without their consent is not actually stealing. it is okay though, you are almost always wrong on matters like this.
Tesla has seen a 65% drop YOY, but their Competitors have seen or are doing worse which only tells you this is not unique to Tesla. Pretty soon they will be producing some new products and that will drive stock up in 2023.
You are getting too emotional.
Automakers are not down 70% in 2023, only Tesla is. As a high beta stock, it will continue to underperform the market through the bear
Tesla has always been a massive pump and dump scheme, you can follow my arguments on this from early 2021 by following below
Elon gained over 10% of Teslas shares as performance bonus tied to pumping the marketcap of Tesla, and he did so with Arkk innovation fund and other cowboy investors and social media hype. Tesla is built on fluff not fundamentals
Ibime: Tesla is the poster boy for the current market bubble, more than octupling in price in 1 year and with a Price-Earnings ratio 50 times the S&P average. A lot of people will cry when Tesla burst.
ThierryJay: And this particular impact in the QF, what you call a nothing pass was made after Messi twisted and turned over 2 or 3 belgian defenders and gave Dimaria a pass having freed him up. Without Messi's ingenuity in that moment to attract bodies and free up space, Di Maria doesnt get a pass and Higuain doesnt score. .
He didn't do anything but a half turn away from Witsel and pass. That turn and pass is a nothing move that Xavi, Modric and co do 50 times a game. Di.Maria was in no threatening position. All that happened is the ball ricocheted from the direction heading to the right back into the path of Hugain who had a lot to do to finish that ball
When you guys want to do fraud, you can say anything
ThierryJay: twisted the Belgian markers to create space for Higuain's goal in the QF. Maybe you watching a different WC in an alternate dimension.
Are you alright? Messi played a nothing pass in midfield to Di Maria, who tried to play another pass to the right back and it deflected and somehow ran kindly for Hugain. When you want to do fraud, you will start making up shyt that doesn't exist to justify the fraud, that's why it's a fugazi.
ThierryJay: So Zidane collecting World best with only 2 goals in WC final na fugazi. Modric winning WC golden ball with 1 goal in 2018 na fugazi? For you to equate golden ball with number of goals shows great deficiency in your football analytical acumen.
Zidane did not collect Golden ball in 1998 and Messi did not score in 2015 final to compare with Zidane, plus he lost unlike Zidane and even lost his penalty in the shootout. How more fugazi can you be?
Modric is a midfielder
Any forward that goes to tournament and collects golden ball with one goal and didn't win the tournament is a fugazi
Any forward that collect golden ball with no knockout stage impact where even the FIFA President confessed is a fugazi. . . is a fugazi
We are only taking of the dodgy awards now,not the tournaments where he clearly flopped, of which there are numerous
ThierryJay: All what you put up there is subjective hogwash not fit for objective intellectual scrutiny. The fact is that he won six tournament golden balls out of a possible 12 major international tournaments which is an excellent international record. Pls name one player other than Messi that won best player in half of all tournaments played. Just one!.
There's nothing subjective about saying a nigga with one goal collecting golden ball is a fugazi as Messi did in Copa 2015, and a nigga with no impact in the knockout stage in 2014 WC collecting golden ball is a fugazi, which even the President of the awarding body confessed to
The streets know Messi has only collected 2 legitimate golden balls and flopped clearly in 7 tournaments out of 11. You even had to sneak in the nonsense Finalissima to bolster his stats
Now name the tournament Pele flopped in. You have 4 World Cups, 1 COPA and 3 IC Cups to choose from, that's 8 tournaments with 5 best player awards, 1 young player award (should have been best player), 4 golden boots and the other 2 tournaments he was kicked off the pitch (but not before scoring). That's dominance

Imagine, Messi just dey reach some of dis level after decades of active football and still trying to catch up.
These are the doings of a GOAT, unlike Expert17 list that reads like a laundry list of a desperate old man playing million matches over 3 decades
Imagine these disgraceful doings he put for Messi. Tell me someone desperately hustled in 3 different decades without telling me he couldn't achieve much. And he had the nerve to say Pele could never
Oldest and youngest yada yada yada, 5 different tournaments yada yada yada, chasing something Pele did easily at 17

Dominating Mr. Vasco Da Farmer everywhere.....E Choke
Messi won best player award in 2 Copas (2015 and 2021). He actually won a third in 2016 (when he scored 6 goals) but he rejected it and it was given to Sanchez.
Best player in 2 World cups which even Pele could not achieve.
Best player in Olympic 2008.
So how would you objectively call a six-time international tournament best player a "flop in too many international tournaments" I guess in your dictionary, Mbappe flopped as well in this World Cup just because he didnt win.
Instead of you to own up to your own prior admissions about the quality of Pele's goal statistics back in 2010 you are trying to save face with some disjointed clarifications when confronted with your about-turn like Piers Morgan. Who says you could not have hopped on the Pendu train sometimes after 2011 to warrant your subsequent comments? At least Piers was honest enough to admit that.
You will not whitewash history by being selective. If a guy plays 10 tournaments and flopped in 7, he is far from dominant
Messi flopped in 2006 WC, 2010 WC, 2018 WC
His 2014 was meh, with no impact in the knockout stage
He flopped in 2011 Copa, 2019 Copa clearly
Bullied by Robinho of all people in 2007 Copa
He scored one goal in 2015 Copa but somehow won the polling booth, same as 2014 ojoro
Only time he achieved success was using Croatia pattern of finding a strong penalty saving goalkeeper. Even when he won, he was not dominant outside of penalties with only goals against France and Holland in all the top tier teams he faced in the World Cup. Compared to Pele who was supremely dominant
Messi is the Pepe of GOATS, the old man who keeps going to tournaments hoping it would finally click
Now name one international tournament Pele flopped in
forgiveness: When does celebrating him winning world cup tantamount to being adjourned the goat?
Continue to lie to yourself.
I asked Ohbrittania to pull up a quote from me showing I said WC makes Messi the GOAT, he started rambling about Kanye and Kim Kardashian and his problems with limited data. I leave him to his own devices
andrewbaba44: Same thing we are telling him now is what he is telling the other guy
I don’t know what changed ,even pele himself is confused about the amount of goals he scored by editing it everytime ,man was class but scored so many un official goals added to official goals
I don’t know what changed ,ibime might just be the biggest amala turner here
Nothing has changed. There is nothing wrong with questioning Pele rubbing his 1,000 goals in the young man's face, as the quality of opponents could be questionable, but that has never changed my criteria for GOAT status. Same year I said Messi can join Pele IF he keeps this up, showing Pele and Maradona have always been my Gods. Notice the year was 2010 and I never mentioned Ronaldo, so this is not a case of a repentant Penduist
Ibime: If Messi should continue this form, he will form a triumvirate with Maradona and Pele, a closed circle which Zidane does not belong to. . . . cos if Zidane belongs in such company, then we must also admit Ronaldo, Cruyff, Eusebio, Di Stefano etc.
And after Messi failed repeatedly to match Peles standards on the international stage, I told Debroslink 4 years ago that a World cup win can no longer take Messi above Pele, but he can still join the triumvirate.
The reason is simple - at this late stage of his career, he cannot claim the undisputed GOAT because he did not establish the dominance over his peers that Pele did. Messi went to countless COPAs and World Cups and did not shine. Pele shined and dominated every single international tournament he touched barring injury. He went to 4 World Cups, beasted two, was kicked out the other two by hatchet men. He went to one COPA America, won the Golden boot and Golden ball, went to 3 Intercontinental cups, won the golden boot in all, absolutely beasted them with 9.goals. There is not a single international tournament he did not establish absolute dominance over his peers unlike Messi who flopped continuously and was bullied continuously by Alexis Sanchez in COPA, Zidane, Xavi, Sneijder, Forlan, Robben and co in WC, and kept going for 16 years in order to finally put his name on the trophy. That's my argument for Pele - his dominance over his peers. Any of the triumvirate can make their claim to be the GOAT but Pele established the most dominance over his peers among the three
Bimmarlykay: Ibeme can't be above 50, hence he never watched Pele play only clips which mostly tells good side of a story. No disrespect to Pele, i watched few clips of him and trust me Pele was the originator most of the skills we see today Pele did.But as it stands now Messi is the new Pele believe me you.
I am far from that age. I have many seniors on here. 1994 was the first time I watched football with my senses of what I was watching, though I watched 1993 Under-17, 1992 Nations Cup and parts of 1990 WC without my full senses. So you can guess my age approximately
