BAT has never governed in the SE. They cannot attribute one true statement of his that was tribally charged. He is more detribalized than Atiku and more religiously-tolerant. Atiku married an Igbo Christian woman and converted her to Islam even changed her name. Tinubu left his own and even supported her to be a Pastor. But he is the one who will Islamize Nigeria not Atiku. Igbos don't hate their governors that did eff all for them but they hate Tinubu all the way in the SW that was a governor of Lagos 15 years ago. lol

These people are hilarious. They call Yoruba people slaves that how can they be so docile to allow one man to rule and control all the resources in Lagos.

Meanwhile, they haven’t been going to work every Monday because a terrorist in prison ordered it so. There’s no business operation in the entire SE every Monday for several months now.

But……it’s the Yorubas that are slaves.

raumdeuter:
Yes o. There has to be something that fits

When A Yoruba supports Buhari or Atiku. Its because he is a terrorist supporter
When a Yoruba supports Tinubu or Osinbajo. Its because he is a tribalist
When a Yoruba supports Obi Okwute It is because he is patriotic

One has to laugh at the entire comedy. Obi supporters in their usual gaslighting mode would try and convince you that if APC had chosen Osinbajo or Seyi Makinde instead of Asiwaju, they would have voted for him. That’s a huge lie.

The fact is, many of them had already made up their minds to support Obi. The Biafran agenda has been paused temporarily to support the Peter Obi movement. When Obi loses, Nigeria would be demoted back into a zoo and they would seek to secede.

APC could have woken Jesus Christ from his tomb as their candidate and the bulk of the SE people would still have supported their Peter Obi. I don’t know why they are lying that it’s the Tinubu choice that offends them.

MKO Abiola in his time was the biggest philanthropist that has ever walked in this country. His kindness touched every region in Nigeria. In the 93 elections, he won only 3 out of the 7 states in SE region. Abiola lost in Imo, Enugu, Rivers and Abia states.

I’m supposed to believe the people that didn’t vote for a whole MKO Abiola in 93 would have supported baby politicians like Osinbajo or Makinde en masse in this coming election? The entire Peter Obi foundation or structure is tribal and his supporters should accept it instead of trying the gaslight the cognitive elite of Nigeria.

Oasis007:
Erik ten Hag asked if he's happy with Manchester United midfield options: "I think so. As we saw in pre-season, we did pretty well there. We have a good team. But we can still strengthen the squad."

This man is a puppet.

Any manager that says he’s happy with our current midfield options is a Glazer puppet. No wonder the Glazers shunned Conte when he was available last season and settled for Ten Hag.

ETH has made his bed. If the results start getting bad, he cannot turn around mid-season and claim the recruitment was poor. ETH had a chance today to send a message to the Glazers but he’s chickened out.

how much is your fucking iPhone, I've used android of 650k. I'm sure the money is enough to buy any iPhone. Nansense . Just change your low mentality and stop seeing iPhone as one big for nothing phone which no one can afford. Android is my choice and my next stop is galaxy fold 4.it cost almost 1.5m so Bleep off with ur low budget iPhone

The android you used at N650k, how long ago was this?

Flamethehussler:
Omo how can person diff from 11PM to 13PM lolz

13PM is 5G.

adebayo201:
You no see God.

Spurs finished in the top 4 and Conte has brought in about 6 players and he’s still in the market looking for more players to sign. Spurs have more ambition than United.

United started last season with 4 attackers. Cavani and Greenwood have gone(no replacements). Martial is now injured, leaving only Ronaldo as the only fit centre forward at the club going into the season.

And when Ronaldo questioned the ambition of the club, the media and some stupid fans made him a public enemy. Why should a serial winner like Ronaldo tolerate what Man Utd’s board are doing this summer?

“We don’t need Ronaldo” agenda crashed before the first day of the season.

GoddyOra:
Yeah a fast start helps but consistency is the key. Neymar had a similar fast start by the age of 21 (career goals), even Mbappe UCL goals was crazy at first when he was still a teenager till he slowed down around 2018-19. Similar thing to Kane who started well in the UCL goals chart but couldn't maintain (Spurs lack of UCL participation caused it sha).

Haaland has had his first big move so I am realistic in my view that if he doesn't hit the ground running and consistently performs for Man City, his UCL goals records wouldn't reach those Ronaldo/Messi heights. The man needs to be hitting 10goals/season consistently going forward and City forwards (even the great Kun Aguero) has never produced such numbers before.

P.S: I am more concerned about UCL goals here.

Aguero’s injury was an obstacle and he was almost 25 before he joined City. He’s not a good example to use here.

GoddyOra:
I like this spirit
Except another winch of a goalscoring talent comes up again in the future though cos I don't even expect Haaland to be consistent enough to reach those heights. Mbappe? Maybe sha.

Haaland had a very solid start. Even better than the Messi/Ronaldo duopoly. If he takes care of his body as much as Ronaldo does, he’s the most likely to break the record. That young man is a wizard.

Expert17:
Sporting Lisbon?

That's if they make it out of UCL qualifiers or group stage.

There are 6 games in every group stage. That’s enough for Ronaldo to do his thing every season till he retires.

Expert17:
With Bayern Munich, Juventus, ATM, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and PSG out of the race for him, which top Club is he going to play and score his UCL goals for??

Because Man Utd won't qualify for UCL next season.

He will go to Sporting Lisbon and statpad there till age 44.

No single human being is catching Ronaldo in the CL.

Starboytwo:
But it’s Messi showing sign of decline overall using the just concluded season stats to judge. Ronaldo is 37 but he’s fitter than Messi.

Ronaldo will play till he’s 40+.

Zlatan is still playing at 41 and he’s nowhere compared to Ronaldo when it comes to body discipline and fitness routine.

If Messi(2 years younger) was the one leading Ronaldo with 15 CL goals, I would still back Cristiano to surpass Messi because of the sheer drive and determination.

Theflint1:
When he inherited the family business, did that include Fidelity bank? It takes a good level of intelligence to maintain a family business not to mention growing it. You can't turn a family business to just any idiot in the family thinking it'd stay the same, statistics don't even favor families running business across three generations.

Whether you agree that Asiwaju is sick or fine is up to you, most of his ardent supporters agree that he's not healthy, but believe he'd pull through after all Buhari did even though his government was a disaster.

He’s healthy enough for me. Leading Nigeria isn’t rocket science. Everyone knows where the shoe pinches. It just takes a leader with compassion and empathy to tackle the major issues afflicting the country and things would fall in line. Age has nothing to do with being compassionate and empathetic.

Theflint1:
So it's only footballers that are permitted to go for surgeries... interesting . And once I go for a surgery, however little it might be I'm automatically comparable to the sickest patient in the hospital...lol

If you were to need a surgery without being an athlete, it means you aren’t healthy. If you are not healthy, why are you mocking another unhealthy person?

White folks have a word for something like that.

It’s called hypocrisy.

Theflint1:
Pass or third class it doesn't matter, they're both poor grades but I'm sure he'd have gotten employment in a primary school with it nonetheless. That said, you can do poorly in one aspect of life and excel in others and Peter Obi did that by becoming a billionaire at an age when the best of his contemporaries were jostling for 10m/annum jobs at Chevron.

He inherited a family business.

No one needs any brains to claim inheritance.

Theflint1:
Maybe it was a surgery to correct posture, I dunno, but people do surgeries every time, let Tinubu go and do his own too so he stops falling and slurring.

Asiwaju doesn’t need any surgery. He’s fine. He is running as Nigeria’s president, not training to become Man Utd’s right winger.

Theflint1:
So a footballer doing a surgery automatically makes him comparable to an old man suffering from a terminal condition

Nope, wrong analogy.

A footballer puts himself at risk everyday he steps on the pitch in a very rigorous sport. He’s kicked, pushed, tripped, elbowed, etc . He’s bound to break something or tear a muscle.

Fayose is neither an athlete or a laborer. Why is he correcting a posture if he’s healthy? Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.

Theflint1:
Maybe you're trolling sha, but Fayose just completed surgery on his spine, you don't expect he'd be jumping around the place after such a procedure.

If Fayose is healthy, why was he doing surgery on a spine?

Was it a cosmetic surgery?

Theflint1:
Art courses can be quite difficult, wouldn't call Philosophy simple given its sometimes subjective nature and primary schools hire secondary school graduates so I'm pretty sure a third-class university graduate would do fine.

He didn’t get third class.

He got a pass(certificate of attendance, more like).

raumdeuter:
Are you his doctor to know he is terminally ill?

That was how Fayose and co were telling us Buhari wont last 2yrs, Buhari is about to finish 8yrs

Buhari is stronger than Fayose.

Theflint1:
Lagos has been the commercial capital of Nigeria for over 145 years now, and you're comparing Lagos with a state that's just a little over 30 years in existence, not to mention was involved in the civil war

Lagos stopped being the capital 31 years ago. If Lagos was as prosperous as you made it sound, the increase in IGR shouldn’t have been that significant under Tinubu’s excellent governance. The governors before him would have pushed through the billion mark before he did.

Your excuse is weak.

Theflint1:
If we peer deep into this legacy and unearth pictures showing heaps of refuse in Oshodi, Anthony and all other parts of Lagos you'd say we shouldn't go there. If I mention the perennial flooding crisis, thuggery and housing crisis you'd say we shouldn't go there.

All the factors you listed are symptoms of an overpopulated mega city. New York, Mumbai, etc. Lagos overpopulation is a symptom of the failure of the other 35 states in Nigeria.

90% of Anambra’s best brains all reside in Lagos. How do you expect the facilities in Lagos to cope with 22m population? Under normal circumstances, the population of Lagos shouldn’t be more than 1m, but Peter Obi’s people would rather live in Lagos than in Anambra. There’s a reason for that.

Theflint1:
Tinubu's Lagos is dragging shoulders with war-torn cities as places with the worst standard of living but yea, man's a genius.

Yet, Obi’s people have refused to leave the war-torn looking Lagos state and reside in their peaceful Dubai looking Anambra and environs. Why would anyone leave his ultra peaceful state of origin to start residing in a war torn looking city? Is it mental illness?

Theflint1:
No dunce would make billions doing business.

Obi inherited a family business. Even a dog would maintain the status quo. Obi even had the opportunity as a governor to sink state funds into a failing business.

It’s the story of a dunce that became a thief. With his pass in Philosophy and a humble family background, Obi would be driving keke NAPEP in the heart of Anambra state.

Not even a primary school would hire someone that went to UNN and graduated with an ordinary pass in a course as simple as philosophy.

One of the professors of UNN came on social media the other day to defend Obi. Her excuse was that Obi got a pass not because he’s a dullard but because he studied the wrong course.

Theflint1:
Tinubu is no genius and you don't make billions from business being a dullard but na Nairaland sha, so anything goes.

Tinubu graduated with a summa cum laude in Chicago, the very top of his class. We can also see evidence of what he transformed Lagos State into.

Obi graduated with a pass in Philosophy at UNN. Academically, it’s a disgrace that we can even be mentioning both names in the same sentence.

Even if we acknowledge that being booksmart doesn’t necessarily translate to being a good leader, let’s focus on the respective legacies of both candidates.

Tinubu’s magic turned a N600m IGR in Lagos to over N50 billion a year with smart policies and putting the best brains around at helm of the government after he left.

Obi had medical doctors striking for 13 months after sinking state funds into family business. Obi later claimed he saved N75 billion for Anambra while his doctors were starving.

Imagine a father of 4 kids coming to Nairaland to brag that he’s got N100m in his current account while all his children are afflicted with chronic Kwashiorkor. We would all tell him to go to hell but this is Nigeria.

Anything goes… … …

Nigerians are funny people.

They would choose a young dullard over an old genius.

Listen, we are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Hate all you want, we are okay with it and could care less!

Pelosi will be in Taiwan, we have made it known, now do your worst!

If dem born any of una well make anything happen to her while she is in Taiwan!

This is not about Republican or Democrat, this about the 3rd highest ranking office in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Oya China, do your worst!!

How did the cheque reach the hands of her in-laws?

Stupid woman.

Leyqute:
So the cost of living in UK is x3 the cost of living in other European countries?

Or 1GBP = 3 EUR?

It could be - because of the tax codes in different countries.

For instance, Pogba’s salary at Juventus is €8m. His net salary in Italy is more than earning €14m in England.

Pogba wanted €20m salary in England, United offered him €14m salary but he settled for €8m in Italy.

Many people laughed at him at the downgrade but his take home pay in Italy is slightly more than what United offered him.

Karleb:
People need to understand that working in a certain country automatically improves your wage even if you are very poor at what you do.

You can't be on a $250/month on Nigeria and earn $500/month in US.

Getting x3 of his salary is a very good deal from united end.

Cost of living in countries defer abeg.

It’s the wage structure and it went to shit after Moyes offered Rooney £300k/week after Sir Alex left Man Utd.

Shaw was on £150k/week, there was no way his deputy or back up player would get anything less than half of that amount.

Brandon Williams was on £65k/week and even Axel Tuanzebe was on £50k/week. All these players would be lucky to earn up to £30k/week at Liverpool but Man Utd are cheerful givers.

Andy Robertson is on £50k/week in spite of his PL/UCL/FA cup/etc trophies and you have the calamitous Luke Shaw drawing triple that amount every week with zero output.

29,000 tickets sold after Ronaldo hinted he would play today.

A friendly/preseason game is now sold out because of Cristiano.

Ronaldo is superhuman!

Ronaldo starts.

This should be a good watch.

Leyqute:
You said City were unbeatable. You said only City could beat City. But look at you now giving yourself excuses to choke yourself.

You lie too much. I said the team had no weakness and at this point, only City can beat City.

Even the great Barca team that won sextuple lost few games along the way. There’s no team that is unbeatable but I cannot be blamed for the way you interpret my post.

Leyqute:
Mahrez and Graelish play for Liverpool now, I guess

Only City can beat City.

That sentence literally means City players have to totally mess up before opponents can beat them.

You should take an IQ test if you don’t know the meaning of that statement.

Jeeeeez!

Leyqute:
LooL.

See Shalaye.

When another team also beats them hope you’ll find another excuse to cover your exposed ass.

Any team can lose a one off game. City lost the same competition last season but they still won the league.

Pep has won 4 PL titles in 5 seasons.
They are still the team to beat.

Keep focusing on irrelevant games, come what May…..Pep would lift the PL title again.

1 v 1 with goalie, Leroy Sane cancelled a covering defender and the goalkeeper when put through on goal to score.

Rashford had a similar chance today and couldn’t even get a shot from the chance. The gap in output between the players in the big team and United players is too wide.

ovoP:
do you expect manu to play like bayern, in ten hag first season? Patience man

That’s what I expect. United should be competing.

With the amount of money spent in the last 3-5 years, we should be playing like Bayern. Does it not surprise you that no matter what Bayern do(change manager, change CEO, change kit an, change back room staff, etc), their standards never drop?
