how u see Ampadu na, abi u don forget am

Left to me, if Chelsea does not sign any DM Ampadu goes in the season as my first choice DM. I don't see Ampadu as a CB. And if I'm a midtable club, I will be looking to sign him now with one year left on his contract. The boy got it. I learned he did well at Venezia playing DM despite their relegation

BlueAngel444:
I doubt if De ligt is that good as a ball playing CB, he seems more bullish

Guehi is more bullish, stronger and faster. Na only height wey DeLigt get over am

andrewbaba44:
So what should we call epl where only mancity are dominating ?

Check Man City and Liverpool performance in Europe as against AC Milan and Inter

andrewbaba44:
Na wa ooo ,see as you finish de ligt

Now this is what I don’t like ,you are branding seria A as a farmers league ? Haba

Any league where Inter and AC are dominating must be farmers

larride:
He did the opposite. At least when Kemi Adeosun was still the finance minister. I can't forget that video where Kemi Adeosun says we will find solutions to our problems locally.

For one I think Buhari shouldn't have reappoint Emefiele as CBN Gov when his tenure elapsed. That man and his team are just playing tombo tombo with our monetary policy. Their inconsistent exchange rate policy has caused alot of harm to the economy. No investor will invest in an economy where the CBN keeps changing policy as they wish. Looks as if he is doing experiment.

Buhari let the Naira float for the sweet juicy IMF loan, leave story

andrewbaba44:
Guehi is not better than de ligt

Most of you hardly watch some of these players and you come here to conclude

I will agree with ake because he has not been a regular player since he joined city

Every Mallam with him kettle.

Guehi is the best ball playing defender outside the big three clubs last season. Once a player has shown his comfort on the ball, the usual anti-English "lack of class" argument goes in the bin cos DeLigt can't do that better than him. Then we come to pure defending and Guehi is stronger, much more quicker and has leadership and organisational qualities that saw him named Crystal Palace captain at the age of 21.

DeLigt is a hype job Rolls Royce player who had easy life at Ajax, struggled at Juve outside comfort zone and now going to Bayern for easy Bayernliga life and attache hype. Same DeLigt all at sea as we flogged Juve 4-0 this last season. Same DeLigt struggling to make top4 in a farmers league. I will take my Cobham boy who will take £80k and do a better job, than a Raiola hype job asking for £400k

BlueAngel444:
he was not rejected o, says who?

A player is rejected when he is not given a contract and promise of first team squad place with the opportunity to establish himself. If you promise Guehi something, he will stay. Same message we are sending to Colwill

BlueAngel444:
Chelsea can buy him and Abraham next summer.
Even the Koulibaly we don't seem serious in chasing him like we did for De ligt, maybe because of his age.

Ake does provide options, LCB or LB either in back 4 or 3. Make Tuchel sha get him players make him no give excuse

We don't have buyback on Guehi, only the option to match an accepted bid

There is also a psychological factor that comes with being rejected in your youth despite being good enough. It erodes loyalty completely. Do you think Ake is coming back with point to prove, already a multi millionaire with titles to his name. In his mind, he will be thinking, I will make these fools pay good money for rejecting me back then. See Pogba and Lukaku as example

larride:
YES. The same thing IMF advised Buhari during 2015 recession.

Which Buhari more or less did

Roland17:
Oil prices had dropped significantly, we were witnessing 40% inflation rates, near absence of food, population explosion and huge foreign debts that were stifling the nation and Babangida thought restricting importation, over valuing the Naira by pegging exchange rates (@ Larride, this is one of the reasons I am against the single exchange rate you suggested) would resolve some of these problem. Problem is, when you over value the naira, the foreign market will not be interested because it is not the true reflection of your economic realities.

I think this is the opposite of what SAP is. Sap is letting the market decide the value of the currency and allowing free trade, and abolishing subsidiea

BlueAngel444:
well we sold Tomori and Guehi to buy Lukaku and keep Chalobah, I believe 1 wanted to leave, the other has a buy back clause or so and we thought at least one of Rudiger or Christensen or both would extend.

In any case how is Guehi better than Ake or Koulibaly? Apart from playing time and age.

Hopefully Colwill impresses in preseason like Chalobah does and the way the Kounde deal was dropped may occur for Ake and we get only Koulibaly

Excluding Koulibaly, Guehi is better than Ake and DeLigt

And when you factor age, loyalty, salaries and cost, he would have been the optimal choice if we had kept him

That boy Flynn Downes that West Ham signed is a decent player. Some good players dey Championship

Tomori and Guehi better than all the defenders we are linked with in this window.

We had a chance to establish Ake in 2018, we quickly accepted £20m.

Today we have Levi Colwill who is a better CB than Ake was at his age, and we want to block his path with Ake instead of buying a cheap but solid journeyman that can pick up the slack if Colwill doesn't perform. Likes of Saiss for example.

Ake and Colwill really both play the LCB position, it's not like you can play Ake RCB

You will tell them the white man is their problem as they beat you with a cone when you are at 78Yo. coonery big from earth to the moon you won't still understand it.

Anytime you hear a phrase the white man is not their problem, the hairs on your skin stand. Professional victims like you are the first to suck up to a plantation when you see one. all you need is a little handout.

This is politics section. Take your moaning to crime section.

He never wanted Twitter, he was looking for an excuse to sell his overinflated Tesla stock (in the guise of raising cash for Twitter purchase) without alarming the market

raumdeuter:
Reuters) - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said on Friday he was terminating his $44 billion deal for Twitter Inc, saying that the social media company had failed to provide information about fake accounts on the platform.

They actually provided everything on a scientific basis of hundreds of thousands of accounts. Elon wanted to test 100 accounts in a random unscientific way - an obvious ploy to sidestep the deal.

It's one of two things, either Elon was looking for yet another reason to dump his overinflated Tesla stock without alarming the market, or he realised that $54 was too high a valuation for Twitter in the current and impending economic climate. Twitter can be bought for $37 today and will probably reach $20 by the time we hit the bottom.of the bear market

jimetagambo:

Budaatum and Benalvino3 (Obidients) vs Raumdeuter and Gambojimeta (Batified)

Buda is Obidient?

Maybe he can find common ground with the Umudike Republicans for once.

Gambojimeta with his Tinubu shilling be damned!

Jodera:
If you see how I dey happy reading this news ehh.

Something was always telling me that Partey is innocent.

These sound like beer parlour attempt to deflect from Parteys handlers

Skimpledawg:
Omo, I no con understand bros kloppo again. Baba came armed

lol. Bros no dey carry Obi play.

TW is incomplete without zaha rumours

Nihilistjnr will love this

If Atiku is from Cameroun, is Baba-Ahmed not from Mauritania?

Amoto94:
I used to be a fan of Che sha I later learned that Castro traded him when he was becoming an obstacle to his enjoyment of the loot.

Revolutionaries and ideologues always fall out over one thing or another but I don't think it reached that level or his daughters will not be still in Cuba serving under the Castros.

Havertz10:
came to this realization a few days ago about most politicians that have been soiled by msm

I always knew that msm was influenced but Russias’ special military operation really showed me how far reaching the manipulation goes. I have never actually listened to trump speak, mostly got all my bits on him from msm narratives. I watched one of his interviews recently, he is crude, unabashed, and direct, but he isn’t stupid or deluded like we have been led to believe. Boris Johnson is another that plays the weak persona in public but is very cognizant.

From Che Guevara far-left nigga, you will soon turn far-right Proud boy. Putin trolls are doing good job on you.

Wike wants to be president. If he decamps to APC, he will have to wait for 16 years to actualise his dream. First he has to wait for BATs tenure to end, he will wait another 8 years for power to shift to the North before it comes back to the South. There is no assurance, APC will even give him the slot by then.

If he stays in PDP, he has another realistic chance to contest 4 or 8 years from now.

That is why I don't see Wike defecting but you can never be sure of anything with these guys.

Not suggesting he definitely wants to decamp but he will explore all options. The scenario you painted above also applies if Atiku wins cos Okowa would be next in line if power was zoned to SS

Itsrm:
I really don't see Wike defecting to APC but I'm sure there'll be internal sabotage by him after Atiku did him dirty.

The Wike I know would have issued a statement after Okowa was selected. If he hasn't, something is obviously cooking but I don't think he'll defect.

You never show your hand in politics until you have carried all stakeholders along both in PDP, and reconciled with the APC like Tonye Cole, not to mention Amaechi. So even if he was planning decamp, he wouldn't tell you until all parties are on the same side. Make he no be like Amaechi that decamped and lost the whole structure of Rivers State in so doing.

If Goodluck his political Godfather can decamp, decamp is not beyond Wike, but he will be powerless if he decamps and the whole House of Assembly in Rivers doesn't move with him

chrisooblog:
other than serving as a means to provide alternative power for generators how much does petrol really contribute to farm produce transportation?

I've seen some analysis as to why foodstuff in markets cost so much and one of the main culprits was the high price of diesel. So in practical terms how will subsidy removal really cause cost of leaving to spiral when it doesn't factor much in transportation of agricultural produce?

Correct talk. I been done forget say GloriousGbola informed me there is no subsidy on diesel just this morning

Amoto94:
Chelsea's breakthrough (for De Jong) came when Barça opened negotiations to sign Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. The Blues, at the request of Tuchel, introduced the option of introducing the Dutchman to carry out a joint operation.

{Sports}

Going to a failure club to sign their failed players from them. Spits.

Itsrm:
They will steal either ways.

The difference is that now the masses can benefit, when it's removed, no more benefit.

If subsidy is removed today, I can bet anything in the world that we won't see the effect. The money being saved will be stolen.

The crux of the matter. Fuel subsidy is the only social support Nigeria gives to its citizens.

Also the cost of transportation can make up to 50 to 80% of the cost of basic agricultural foods that poor Nigerians eat, reason why you can buy items in the North and Middle Belt for 1/3rd to 1/2 the price in the South. Whereas cost of transportation will be like 5% of the input cost in the Western world where cost of labour is the big input cost. So the inflationary effect on Nigerians will be dire, hence economic models that say subsidies are inefficient are applicable to the Western world but as far as Nigeria, it will lead to unimaginable suffering and social turmoil if subsidy is lifted.

that man made Japan what it is today

He might have stepped on toes..

But why oyibo security details dey always get lapses?
Na overconfidence abi wetin?

You go see prime minister, and public office holders,them go dey ride bike to work..

Wtf

When the society is not armed and at peace, you can do that

Make President try that one for Yankee, average Joe with gun in his waist will waste him

My favourite politician is still John Prescott, Tony Blair deputy. Nigga was quick to let hands go if you try him

diesel and atk are dergulated - diesel is 750 to 850mper litre today

ditto for ATK

i have a project in kano. flights were 25k at start of this year.my last flight was 70k . hotel cost has gone up because diesel

every business operating cost has gone up because of disesl. ditto for every good ytransported via trailer

now imagine that petrol goes from 165 to 700/litre

that is instant inflation

your n100 okada ride will jump to like n500 straiight
ditto for danfo, ditto for uber

you will think twice, thrice four times about any journey or triprzr-echogeneration
everyone using petrol gen will embark on further tightening [i no longer run through the night]

and that is middle class people

for the real poor, living day to day, with no savings to first deplete . . .

this country is not built for it

let obi enter and actually pull that ish - the obidenst will flip faster than they did on gej

this government actually killed the subsidy in 2016 , when price of oil was so low (courtesy of saudi flooding the market in a bid to destroy fracking) that it didn't matter. the moment oil pricespetrol rose, and price of petrol rose, they reinstated subsidy as underecoverry - NNPC only

we are truly bleeped - low oil price low income, low price of petrol - high oil price, good income, high price of petrol

Didn't know diesel isn't subsidised. No wonder kpofire conversion to diesel is thriving
