Enzo5: According to L’Equipe, on more than one occasion, Enzo Maresca forced Christopher Nkunku to feature as a defensive midfielder during training sessions with Chelsea.
The publication says that it was perhaps as a way of testing his strength of character.
don't be surprised to see nkunku start Only cos Lavia and Caicedo couldn't train so they used him as training cone in DM |

nihilistjnr: I agree with everything you've said but these days big artists dey release album primarily as a commercial proposition.
People don't listen to albums again, and certainly don't buy albums again except for maybe Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj fans...so must albums are packaged these days to exploit the performance of their key singles in different markets and use the singles numbers to inflate the album sales.
Album these days is just a way for the label to release a bundle of songs commercially. It's not for fans to listen to from start to finish
Bundle by Bundle released last year, but Burna included it in a July album because the streaming numbers will be counted towards album sales numbers. You should listen to The Weeknds last album to see this EXACT play - he dropped his own version of tatata in Sao Paulo, dropped his version of the shaboozey song with Playboy Carti, and still managed to crowbar a feature with Travis in there.
Each of those songs are going in different playlist markets for genres and fandoms that don't overlap, but that's fine cos each fandom is just consuming their single and keeping it moving. Na you wey dey listen to album holistically go dey confused -
The man literally released a favela anthem and a country song on the same album, you think people in tennesee are looking to listen to tatata? 
Music business has changed. Smaller artists don't have the clout and brand recognition to pull this kind of moves, but when you see someone like Rick Ross of all people dropping an Afrobeats song just 3 weeks ago, then you suppose know Wetin dey happen..  I get the commercials. It's just not for me. He even had a pure reggae song Sweet Love channeling YG Marley which was a good song But I won't be listening to the album again sha, maybe one or two songs could enter a playlist. But if the strategy helps him continue to dominate Davido, I'm all for it |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Ibime(m): 3:18pm On Jul 13, 2025 |
nihilistjnr: That's why I said his approach on this album was targeting world domination.
Those features suppose Don tell you Wetin the werey wan do, and I think he will do it. He's already big in Francophone so he put Stromae there, he's chasing reggaeton summer club rotation and genz with that Travis Scott feature, and the shaboozey one is the most overtly criminal cynical attempted billboard heist I've ever seen.
What remains to be seem now is whether his approach will work. I think it might, especially that Shaboozey song. I'm hoping it does, cos this is the most bold faced billboard play from a Nigerian artist since Rema featured Selena Gomez. An album has to have a theme. And those that mess with it mess with it My favourite album of the last decade is Bruno Mars 24k Magic. It had a single theme from start to finish (playalistic funk RnB) and every track was perfectly executed. Bruno has been touring off that album for 9 years. If he announce tour today off that album, he will gross more than superstars with new releases Another thing I noticed is that Burnas voice is requiring more producer intervention/smoothening in the last 2 years. He has abused his voice box with kpoli. One of the criteria I use to rate Afrobeats artistes is by the lack of producer intervention in their vocals. |

Burna new album is not for me
His beat selections have been getting worse
Less Afro in his beats, and yet the beats ain't quite HipHop either. He needs to link up with the nucca that produces most of Ruger and Bnxn beats
This new album is like a World album, appealing to different genres
I like Burna when he stays in Fela, Ragga and RnB pocket. Any other thing is for his pocket |

Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 10:58pm On Jul 12, 2025 |
What I've realised about Trump 2nd term is that Trump and Magats can only make noise. American checks and balances remain strong
Democrats should get their act in order and present centrist candidates, their only noisemakers are far left kooks and the field is bare. We need to start seeing someone emerge from the Obama/Clinton centrist disposition of the Democratic party. Unfortunately social media age only gives voice to extremists because centrism is boring and does not generate traffic, so the party needs to intentionally start promoting some of these centrist candidates |

Trump is really disappointing his Conspiracy Theorist fans over this Epstein files. Now claiming Obama wrote it when his own fans are suspecting he's hiding something. He will soon lose the Conspiracy nutcases who thought he was their saviour |

SouthSouth1914: Maybe they were never put ON from The aircraft’s last flight! This like turning off your fuel switch on generators. But it will start in the next time you put it ON. But will go off after some some seconds because the fuel switch wasn’t turned ON for flow of fuel.
The maintenance crew of that aircraft should be investigated, to get to know the truth. There might be an important person or two in that aircraft who people of interests to other people, there is a conspiracy!
Just my personal opinion. Your personal.opinion is rubbish If they were never put on, the plane won't be able to taxi and take off |

Racoon: What a trophy spree! The Abacha era seem really to be the golden era of Nigerian football especially the Japan 93, Tunisia 94 and Atlanta 1996 football wins. Abacha actually wasted our golden generation by pulling them out of South Africa 1996 due to small beef with Mandela. That got us banned from AFCON 1998 as well. We would have 2 more AFCON from that squad if not for him. May he continue to rest in pieces |

swiz123: Nkunku na one of those bad market wey nobody go even price and na dash you go later dash am out. Why is no one even checking on him? I think every European team consider him to be retired. We were making yanga in January when Spurs and Bayern came in for him because Jackson and Guiu were injured. I was shouting that they should take this opportunity as it may never come again, but no they thought they could use him in Jackson and Guiu absence. Even a training cone would have done better |

Emaprince: All Nigerian politicians deserve worst treatement. The west need to prohibit their medical tourism and even bar them from acquiring any property or any kind of business over there.
All the money they loot should be spent here. The health care system they left in deplorable state should also serve them. Are you joking? Even Saudi, UAE and Kuwait military send all their people to London for Cancer treatment, their militaries actually have a large fund for treatment and were some of our largest payors in the health industry. The reality is that not just cutting edge technology, but the highest Medical expertise and Consultants congregate in certain few locations in the world. Porters 5 forces demand it. I have met Saudi Princes and many dignitaries in my time in the industry, that's how Pakistan Justice Minister daughter invited my wife and I to Pakistan for her wedding last year after getting to know us when her father died in one of our Hospitals, I said no Sir, no be me Taliban go use as example |

forgiveness: From which season did Chelsea began to decline?  2011 after the exit of Makelele and Ballack and injury to Essien. Chelsea that never got below 83 points with solid midfielders in the 2000s from Roman takeover have only got over 75 points in 2 out of the last 14 years with joggers as starter in our midfield starting from Mikel to Fabregas to Jogginghoe to Enzo Chelsea that only failed to reach semifinal of UCL once from 2004 to 2009 (knocked out by Barca in 2006) are not even known in UCL since 2012 except the freak win of 2021 occasioned by a change of tactics that took opposition by surprise for a short period Once you bring joggers into your middle, you become Arsenal of Arsenal Wenger years |

Show respect mr. man, Abeg. These players signalled the decline of Chelsea that used to compete for title every year and always reach UCL semi-final. The strong midfielders like Makelele, Ballack, Essien and Lampard Since these joggers came in, Chelsea has never completed for title except in 2015. To win 2017, the jogger Fabregas had to be dropped for a Matic-Kante solid pairing |

He does it with ease.. Gravenberch turn is well known, prominent and effective drill for young CDMs learning how to receive the ball under pressure. I always study midfielder half turns on YouTube, the most prominent are Kroos same direction touch, Gravenberch feint, Xavi outside touch spin, Tiago outside touch, De Jong step over turn, Pedro and Foden turns, Busquets Cruyff turn etc Na only my CDM then Jogginghoe no get turn 😞 |

Besides, the aforementioned players don pass their prime before departing Chelsea. Be guarded. How did they pass their prime? Literally guys were begging for Fabregas to play, the next week he was in Monaco stinking the place up Same with Mikel who just finished a season as starter under Guus Hiddink and was 29 years old. Next week he was in China leading them to relegation Makelele is my favourite DM of all time, the reason I don't like passengers |

nihilistjnr: Burnaboy has done all kinds of crooked things on this album to crossover, and it is absolutely going to work.  These features were cynically picked to exploit all types of charting algorithms - Travis, Stromae(!!!), Shaboozey. Then including update and bundle by bundle that have already done tens of millions of streams in the album is going to inflate album sales even further.
But that Shaboozey song is absolutely diabolical work from Burna. Shaboozey is the one doing the heavy lifting and Burna is laughing from his seat in Shaboozey's back pocket. It hits different to see a PH boy recruit an Igbo boy to jointly and audaciously scam their way into the charts with a country song - and no doubt about it, this song is GOING.
Naija people, Burna has left you people behind mehn. The target is world domination at this point, and I must stan. He really just might do it. Amigoss tears in 3,2,1. . . . 5ive done already lose steam (though I like it), it cannot pick up internationally |
