Sorry, my obsession with players is what they can do with the ball and not what they can do without the ball,so dont blame me if I refuse to give credence to those players who chooses to mark than who choose to set their team up for goals.
You putting Busquet together with jorginho, invalidate whatever message your trying to pass across. Besides there are so many contradictions up there especially concerning Busquet but I'm sure you will be quick to point to his advantage of playing next to xavi if I bring them up. Lastly I belong to a different football school of thought, one that doesn't believe in man marking but zonal marking,anticipation,interception is what I favour not engaging an opponent needlessly.

You can see how Fabregas read the pass well to anticipate and find his striker is what I am talking about.

Interceptions is for a team that plays in low block which belongs in the previous decade, not this decade. I like to see Busquets make interceptions when Salah, Mane or Son are running him down. I feel to play attacking football in modern era you should be confident in your DM ability to chase backward.when your team is high up. That's why I look for DMs that combine both technique and decent speed to allow for this.

Off the ball is as important as on the ball for a player in a defensive position.

Nope. Unearthing all Coogar's lies and the peddled falsehood over the years was started by me and had gained momentum for two days and a few hours before you jumped into my inbox. I kept posting with my known account and never hid anything. Even Coogar's cronies confirmed he went digging about me. He even mentioned the IP address I used in 2018 through one of his cronies but do I care? No. I know there's nothing shady to be found about me. Nothing!

You couldn't go to the police because you didn't want to be investigated yourself. The facts were the facts and needed no addition from you but, of course, who would turn down more arms at a warfront? No smart general would.

You're a sleazeball! All the others, including Airmárk, Nihilíst, Raúmdeuter were active on those threads, including myself, but Ibime was absent. He was too scared of the very Coogar he was always taking a sneak diss at. The others never hid the fact that they were at least remotely involved but Ibi-chicken ran away.

You admitted you are a coward. You had all of that information months before that and could have easily created even a disposable account to post it but you were too scared. You needed a leader, someone to shield you and take on the monster of your nightmares, Coogar, and you found that in me. You should call me Disstroy the Christ, your lord and personal saviour.

It took you 6 years but the chicken has come home to roost. Finally you had to be made to face your demons. Sadly, you are still hiding behind others again to take shots as you'd soon run off to hide until a number of persons quote me simultaneously.

I know you. You were figured out years ago. wink
Bla bla bla. I know taking down Coogar was the highlight of your life, which is why you keep shouting upandan after acting as a pawn. Stop with your delusions of grandeur.

What evidence did you uncover?

I arrived Raumdeuters thread as it was hotting up, unbeknownst to me about what was going on. I saw some evidence there and called out the fraudster. After that I was contacted by the guys with the full evidence, and I contacted you as a pawn to post it, and sat back in the background and let nature take its course while you kept screaming in the thread as if your life depends on it. The evidence in the thread was sufficient to carry itself.

Wetin consign me with Police when I was not involved in the situation at a detailed level. That babe would have also been arrested if that matter went to the Police as she was an accomplice, whether wittingly or unwittingly from the evidence I saw. E no consign me sha.

Keep screaming like a banshee about Coogar. I did my part cleanly and effectively while you keep making noise upandan for acting as a pawn. Don't think cos I don't make noise, I am scared of the part I played, that's why I called your bluff to spill your beans and directly called out what you were referring to so you can see the difference between a noisemaker and the real deal.

Now kindly match Lincoln's bet and stop ranting about your insignificant part in something that happened 6 years ago.

Worthlèss Ibime!

In all of my years on Nairaland or any other platform, even in person, I've never had to brag about anything material, real or imagined. I'm knowledgeable enough to know wealth is relative and varying but comfort has a universal definition and as long as you are comfortable, that's fair enough.


I keep it clean and go toe-to-toe with anyone who antagonizes me. That's the difference between you and I. Cougar threatened to beat you up and expose you for years so when you saw I had started exposing him, you ran to my inbox (unsolicited) to solicit information. Here's how you even started the conversation: 'Guy, please..."

I started the exposure on Coogar of my own without any help and without needing allies or using a go-between. That's what you do when you aren't into anything shady so you're coming with a clean slate. I can boast I've never done anything shady or on the wrong side of the law. Nothing to be ashamed of. No even looks.

You, on the other hand, begged me to tag along on my train while playing innocent all these years.
Everytime, Coogar's cronies attacked those who exposed Coogar, Nihilïst, Aïrmark or Raumdeutèr, they defend themselves but you always escape, deny knowing anything about it or play blind because Coogar had too much on you. I bet he still does. You even created the NLFraudSquad account and, yes, you were in bed with the moderators to ban Coogar. I wanted Coogar exposed as I was already doing but banning anyone isn't my thing. You got Coogar banned because he had a dossier on all of you.

Ibime, you are a coward. You've always been a coward who couldn't face your battles. From the Rap Battle section to Sports to others, Coogar bullied you and you couldn't square up to him. You had to hide behind me to throw shots at him but being sly enough to stay in the shadows.
Even on this thread as I pummeled your psyche for hours days ago, you ran off, only to return to take shots when you saw you could hide behind the mob.

It's a good thing I saved everything from the mail you sent me. I don't need cronies.

Spinless coward!
lol. Tell us something new we don't know.

Have you finished unloading your personals?

Real gees play the background, while you go raving all over Nairaland.

I sent you on an errand to post Coogar evidence because a couple of the guys who put the evidence together were threatened, including one who said his car was vandalised and one who was told he would be shot. I was approached, and told them to let me send the evidence to someone in Nigeria to post, which is where you came in. You are a pawn who didn't know what was going on and have been shouting across Nairaland ever since. Coogar threatened to beat me up? lol.

Now you have played your bluff, kindly match Lincoln's challenge or close your mouth.

I may tend to give it to you that Kung flu is a little bit over reaching but the video you watch says trump wants to blame it on China which is why he is calling it Chinese virus when the media and even Chinese media has been calling it that. If you don't see this I don't think you will ever see it no matter what.
Shut up. The name is Covid and everyone has called it Covid since it was named.

There is a big difference between Wuhan Coronavirus which was an identifier without malicious intent in the absence of a name, and bringing out China virus and Kung Flu 2 months later to racebait.

As the cultist you are, you are ready to justify anything your Jim Jones does even describing his clear racism of Kung Flu as merely "over the top".

By the way, I don't need media to colour it for me. The moment I watched him call that thing China virus 2 months later, I knew exactly how racist it was, and what he was doing. Thanks for energising the Asian vote to Biden in the last election. Your foolish bumbling cult leader has lost the GQP a good chunk of a demographic with his gutter mouth.

Ibime na wa for you sha. I too think you are trolling else I don't know what to say.

The media called it Wuhan and Chinese virus long before trump did. They only stopped because trump started calling it that. Everything in one video for you to see

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZtCq1aj2g
You don't know what to say cos you are trying to justify racist name calling.

This was in the early days of the virus before it was given a name, after which the media started calling it by its proper name. I was listening live on the radio when it was named and communication put out to call it by its given name rather than the place of origin.

2 months later, Trump is giving a speech, pauses for dramatic effect, lifts his fingers and says "China virus". And if you were in any doubt about his racist intent he called it Kung Flu.

This is different from media calling it Wuhan coronavirus for ease of reference when it wasn't named.

There is obviously a campaign going on in your Conspiracy Theory Parler world right now to justify Trumps racist name calling which is why all you coons and cultists all of a sudden are jumping on the same agenda of trying to whitewash Trumps racist baiting. I wonder what outrage topic your little corner of Conspiracy theory loonie internet world will pick next week. Thankfully, I don't live in the same internet algorithms as you which spill out such junk, so I will wait to be informed on this page what lunacy is being talked about in your cult next week.

Ill ignore that and engage in a more helpful tangent
Should Dr Faucci who funded the Wuhan virology lab Gain of Function research be spearheading the origins of covid-19 virus?
Stop jumping from pillar to post. We were discussing Trumps racism, you are jumping to Dr Fauci funding. What's the correlation?

America part funds many things around the world, research grants etc. If the thing develop k leg, I'm sure that's not the intention of the funder. I have sent few hundred change to a school back home. I'm sure if a teacher in that school molêsts a student, there could be a small-minded paranoid eediot somewhere claiming I funded such action.

Start thinking like a boss, not a pleb. That's how you clowns claimed Obama funded Wuhan labs last year, as if such minutiae detail will ever come across Obamas desk, or whether he will have cognisance of it.

Are you a Chinese troll.When virus deaths started , they were all in Wuhan province.The animal market was singled out as the source because Chinese eat bat meat. plus others lije snails, dogs,cats,owls, snakes, rats etc. We all knew that Wuhan area went under lockdown because the bats being sold had somehow infected humanoids.
Or you did not know thus?
We all know where the virus came from. What is your point?

Was the virus ever named China virus, Wuhan virus or Kung Flu like your racist cult leader did nearly 3 months after everyone knows the name?

Initially covid-19 was the Wuhan virus. Wuhan we all know is not in planet Mars.
Then Tewodros the WHO Ethiopian renamed the Gain of Function lab generated Wuhan virus to Covid-19.
Even Dr Fauci confirmed that there is a possibility the virus leaked from s lab. The big kahuna here. Dr Faucci funded the lab ..
Today Xibiden drops state dept investigation into the origin (Gain if function) if covid-19. And hands it over to WHO which will inevitably involve Dr Faucci led funding outfit. Rand Paul has said Dr Faucci should recuse himself from any covid-19 investigation because he funded it.Eit you say?
Stop jumping around from pillar to post parroting your white Supremacist talking points. Nobody is going down that Parler rabbit hole with you.

Focus on a single point, your first point which is the only point of relevance here. Covid 19 was not called the Wuhan virus and no Western leader ever called it the Wuhan virus except Trump who did so maliciously 2.5 months after the virus emerged and was long known by its official name.

You stüpid cultist justifying a clear racist statement from the gutter mouth Femi Fani Kayode of America. And if you ever think in your amoeba brain to argue the point further, show me where the virus was named "Kung Flu" like the racist orange pig named it. A whole President of America debasing the seat of power with such uncouth language.

No wonder reasonable people voted out the racist orange pig, while you N30K salary Umudike lowlifes with no exposure to decorum and diplomacy think this is how leaders comport themselves.

Read.
Why do we have variants titled geographically?
I listed Covid-19 variants.
Where was the original virus
Why did Xibiden drop investigation of the wuhan virus.
Why do we have an Ethiopian leading the investigation .
The first 3 cases of covid-19 were in WIV ( Wuhan Institute of Virology).
You can try to justify Trumps racebait all you want. Covid had a name which the whole world knew and understood before your gutter mouth cult leader maliciously changed the name in an attempt to racebait.

That's like Lassa fever affecting Americans and someone going out their way to rename it Nigeria virus after its place of origin in Maiduguri.

The variants have names but are called South African variant etc by laymen because of the difficulty of the naming convention for variants, not out of malicious intent. In medical circles they are called by their naming convention eg B1.51.1 etc.

The fact that media use geographical location for the variants for ease of reference does not mask the malicious attempt of Trumps attempt to rename Covid the China virus or Wuhan virus. And there is no stigma attached to the variants as the world knows they are not the origin.

Once again, read and digest.

You are a very misinformed cultist.

Spanish flu originated in Kentucky, USA. It was only called Spanish Flu because the Spanish press were the only ones to report on it originally. Other countries were hiding it because they were fighting World War 1 and were hiding it so as not to look decimated to their enemies.

The whole world came together and agreed not to name viruses after countries so as not to inflame racial tensions. It is written into WHOs rules for naming viruses.

Swine Flu originated in Mexico in 2010 and killed many old people, nobody named it Mexican Flu.

Ebola was in Sierra Leone/Liberia and even reached Nigeria. Nobody named it Umudike virus. I'm sure you would have been offended if that was the case.

HIV supposedly originated in Africa, nobody called it Africa virus to racebait you.

SARs and bird flu came out of China, no President dogwhistled them.

Historian wonders: Is Joe Biden "a speed bump on the fascists' march to power"?
Historian Benjamin Carter Hett on Jan. 6 as Trump's Beer Hall Putsch — and how to reclaim democracy from fascists
By CHAUNCEY DEVEGA
PUBLISHED MAY 26, 2021 10:30AM (UTC)

https://www.salon.com/2021/05/26/historian-of-fascism-wonders-is-joe-biden-a-speed-bump-on-the-fascists-march-to-power/

n Jan. 6, Donald Trump's Big Lie about a stolen election turned kinetic, and inspired an attempted coup against American democracy. At the very least, Republicans aided and abetted Trump's coup attempt and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, and some of them are likely co-conspirators in his plot. They have pledged to prevent an independent investigation into the events of Jan. 6, and are continuing their assault on democracy by imposing a new form of Jim Crow-style apartheid across the county. Their goal: winning and keeping power by preventing Black and brown people and other key Democratic constituencies from exercising their right to vote.

As part of their commitment to overthrowing America's multiracial democracy, the Jim Crow Republicans continue to amplify and weaponize Trump's Big Lie. Public opinion polls and other research have repeatedly shown that this disinformation propaganda strategy is highly effective. Trump's cult members remain in thrall to their Great Leader and eagerly await his return by any means necessary, legal or otherwise.

The past is not always a perfect prologue. But when the past echoes so loudly in the present one would be wise not to ignore it. History's bell is ringing loudly in the Age of Trump in America.

In a recent essay for the Los Angeles Times, historian Benjamin Carter Hett explored the frightening resonances between Adolf Hitler's attempted coup in Germany in 1923 (what has come to be known as the "Beer Hall Putsch"wink and Trump and his followers' coup attempt this past January:

Hitler learned his lesson: A sophisticated modern state could not be overturned by a violent coup led by outsiders, against the police and the army. He realized he would have to work within the system.

Over the following decade, this is exactly what he did. The Nazis ran in elections until they were the largest party in Germany's parliament, gridlocking legislative business. Even more insidiously, the Nazis worked to infiltrate crucial institutions like the police and the army. In 1931, Berlin police responded incredibly sluggishly to a massive Nazi riot in the center of the city. It turned out senior police officials silently sympathized with the Nazis and had colluded in hobbling the police response.

Hitler grew steadily more attractive to business and military leaders who saw him and his movement as their only salvation from the growing Communist Party. Early in 1933 they opened the doors of power to him. ...

After the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, 139 Republican members of the House and eight members of the Senate, led by Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, came out of hiding to vote to object to the electoral college vote count. While a police officer lay dying, they supported Trump's lie of a stolen election and embraced the insurrectionists' cause.

Hett then engages in a particularly disturbing what-if scenario, one that has troubled many people familiar with the patterns of history:

Imagine the events of the past weeks and months if someone like Hawley had been the secretary of state in Georgia, or someone like retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn held a significant military command. Imagine what would have happened if the Republicans held majorities in both houses of Congress and could have overturned the electoral college results. Imagine if the courts had been more generously stocked with judges willing to entertain the Trump campaign's ludicrous arguments.

Above all, imagine if the president had been a bit more competent, a bit more strategic, a bit more daring. Hitler, after all, was at least willing to be present at the violence his words inspired. He was also more persuasive in his dealings with important officials.

Ultimately, Trump's coup attempt and the attack on the Capitol were little more than a trial run. With the Republican Party's rejection of democracy, the events of Jan. 6 will not seem like an outlier or aberration for long. Instead, they offer a preview of how today's Republican Party will respond when and if it loses future elections.
Some fools here are poor students of history. Just supporting autocracy from their huts in Umudike.

Grand Jury should hurry up and send the orange pig away.
