Spy360:
I get your point and you are right in your assertion as Lagos is not the worst city in Nigeria.

But you need to get the context of the report.

The report was not a comprehensive assessment of every city in the world. The selected cities were the biggest cities in each country where the largest population reside. One city per country.

The importance of such report is that it provides a representative sample of how effective government policies have been in terms of infrastructural development, economic balance of wealth, climate, crime control and general well-being.

What it means is that Lagos as a microcosm of the entire country shows that our government failed compared to other governments in Africa. Their policies failed. Very poor.

[color=royalblue]I am not saying we are doing well. Let's even look at the ones we are compared with

Healtcare

Lagos has approx 3000 health care centres, for a population of 15,880,000.
Thats about 5,200 persons to 1 hospital

Zimbabwe (Not Harare) has 300 hospitals. If i divide this with the population of Harare (2,000,000), It gives 6,000 persons to 1 hospital

So why is Harare ranked higher than Lagos in healthcare?

I am not saying we are doing well, or our polices are good. But that list has a lot of injustice on it[/color]

Adiwana:
You think I care about 4 goals when one of those goals is a winning goal in a World Cup final?? Ronaldo will gladly give up half of his career goal tallies to score that one goal

[color=royalblue]So Iniesta has a better career than Ronaldo?

Is this your new argument?[/color]

Spy360:
Off course they may not be absolutely correct but that won't mean Lagos should be the best city in Africa. We should be concerned Lagos made the list at all and not just that it's the worst as stated.

It would have not been any different if Lagos is the 5th worst.

[color=royalblue]I am not bothered if Lagos made the list.

My concern is that if a Nigerian feels Lagos is the Worst City because it made the list, what about Aba, Ilorin or Sokoto? Are they better than Lagos?

Do you understand my point?[/color]

Adiwana:
You’re the one flip flopping. You told me to concentrate on personal stats and I told you that I don’t care how many goals Ronaldo scored if those goals come against some farmers at Estonia in a meaningless friendly and not against Morocco in a World Cup Quarterfinal. That’s the basis I’ll judge Ronaldo. I don’t care what his role was, the question is where is Ronaldo’s World Cup knockout goal??

[color=royalblue]You don't have to care.

That's what we all care about, and that's why we call a 4 goals in 92 matches profile, a FRAUD.

Spy360:
Like I said in some of the metrics pollution is given much attention. For example One can say New York is worse than Amsterdam. Though New York beats Amsterdam in terms of infrastructure and all, but the level of pollution may carry far heavier sanctions that overwhelms the others.

[color=royalblue]I have found the link, and IMO, they don't know what they are saying.

But well...I rest my case [/color]

https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/here-are-the-5-worst-cities-to-live-in-africa-according-to-a-report/wdjccp8

popizaino:
Izzou rest .


You don't know better than spain,Barcelona and real Madrid.

[color=royalblue]Stop spreading fake news.

You know how much we detest that here [/color]

Spy360:
I think the commercial capitals of countries was used.

Even at that, despite the level of exposure to infrastructural development, factors like environmental pollution can make Lagos worse than a city like Birnin Kebbi for example. Gradings most times give high precedence to conducive environment than even social amenities or presence of infrastructure like skyscrapers or bridges.

[color=royalblue]Well, i really am interested in whatever they used.

They could have simply said most polluted city, and maybe it would make more sense.

But tagging it "Worst city" means they have checked environmentally, economically, and other factors, to come up with the WORST

Imagine Douala, being rated better than Lagos. Douala wey my guy migrate, run come back[/color]

Almajirihunter:
Kovacic things

[color=royalblue]Just imagine [/color]

Adiwana:
You want me to use a player’s primary role to judge him but will go and pull out stats against Iniesta. I’m pulling out the personal stats of Ronaldo and I’m telling you they’re useless if those stats don’t count when they’re needed.

Do you think I’ll judge Ronaldo for having 100+ goals against Estonia and Luxembourg in useless friendlies when he goes missing against Morocco in a World Cup Quarterfinal?

[color=royalblue]So now, we have moved from stats, to when they are needed.

Let's not go back and forth abeg

With Xavi on the podium, Iniesta remains a Fraud.

You can console yourself with when the stat was needed. But like a wise man said up there.[/color]

If Mctominay controls midfield better than Bruno Fernandes, scores more goals than him, and assist more than him from a deeper role, then, Mctominay is better than Bruno Fernandes

Adiwana:
Why will I validate Ronaldo will 800+ goals without scoring in a World Cup knockout game? Why will I put him anywhere near Messi, Maradona and Pele if he can’t come clutch in the biggest football competition?? He has over 100 career international goals but none of it counts when it mattered most

What’s the usefulness of a team scoring 4 goals in a final if you still end up losing the game??

[color=royalblue]When you are ready to access a player based on what his primary role is, please let me know

So Messi is useless if he scores 4 against Croatia, but gets knockout baa?[/color]

popizaino:
Go and beg them in spain,Barcelona,real madrid,la masia that put him ahead of xavi not me.

[color=royalblue]I have forwarded my pleas to Esquire, sportingbread.com, sportingriceandbeans.com too.

I hope they listen[/color]

Adiwana:
Ronaldo has over 800 goals in his career but can’t even score 1 goal in a knockout game in a World Cup. For that reason all those goals he scored is absolutely meaningless since he can’t even attribute one in the most footballing event. How is Ronaldo a GOAT if he can’t even score not to talk about winning the World Cup trophy?

[color=royalblue]You keep clutching on to cups. I don't know why

Ronaldo has over 800 career goals. That's enough to show you that he is good. Why do i need a knockout match to validate him?
[/color]

donstan18:
Xavi was a nobody before Inesta.

[color=royalblue]To you? YESS SIRRRR

Iniesta don turn God wey dey uplift person[/color]

Adiwana:
Stats will never show you that Lewandoski had a 2x balon d’or seasons and won 0. The next generation of football fans don’t care about that since anybody can pull out stats from fifa. Hell, I can tell you that’s he’s not one of the greatest strikers the game has ever seen based on that argument alone.

Messi and Ronaldo with all their balon d’ors have 0 world cups. Based on that, they’re not the GOATS. You’re not a GOAT in this game if you don’t win the ultimate price.

We can easily go down this road of stats and start pulling out stats of all the greats in the game

[color=royalblue]You are calling trophies and awards, my brother. That is not what i am interested in.

Show us their individual stats. Lewandowski is a striker. Bring out his career stats as a striker. C'est fini.

Trophies are won by a team effort. Attributing it to one player sounds mischievous to me.

So if Argentina loses tomorrow, we will blame Messi abi? Knowing fully well that he played his part to bring them here.

Just bring the players individual stats.[/color]

popizaino:
Point of correction,Iniesta is not a good player but an excellent world class player. Now saying iniesta is not up to Xavi because of some silly stats should make you rate Fabregas and David Silva ahead of Xavi.......You know their stats are more impressive than that of Hernandez?

[color=royalblue]You can call Iniesta an excellent world class player. I have no problem with that.

But when you put him up with Xavi, please and please, kindly ensure you Xavi is rightful place.

Na beg i dey beg[/color]

donstan18:
Between Inesta and Xavi, none carried each other, none could function without each other, none played same style and both never impressed when played without each other.

Make Una dead this agenda!!

[color=royalblue]Stop playing nice.

Say it as it is.

Call him the FRAUD for which he is [/color]

Adiwana:
Stats don’t mean shiit. That’s why De Bruyne won MOTM for the game against Canada while being one of the worst players on the pitch. Always using Sofascore to rate football players instead of actually sitting down and watching football games. That’s why Ibime will come here and say Iniesta played as a CAM

I can’t watch Kante winning 90% of the ball for some kid in the next 10 yrs to hop on the internet and tell me Kante was not good by going to Wikipedia to pull some stupid statistics of the number of goals and assists he got in his career.

[color=royalblue]Stats will always always matter.

If you are an attacker, you must have goal contributions. That is your duty, and you have to show it.

Dancing Amapiano and Zanku won't change it.

Messi is good, and his stats are there to show it
Ronaldo is good, and his stats are there to show it.

So telling us that some are good because you watch them, yet their primary duty has poor records, has to be the new yahoo format for 2022.

Xavi who is behind Iniesta has more goal contributions than him, but you want to tell us Iniesta is better because you watched him baa?

Blasphemy should not only be attributed to religious statements, walahi[/color]

hensben:
Football is lawn tennis na so he won two euros and World Cup against roger Federer and was the best player in all the tournaments.

[color=royalblue]He singlehandedly won the WC for Spain

Na him keep, defend, create and score.

Only am dey pitch[/color]

donstan18:
Remove Lampard and you’ll see most players you people slander here with stats are far better than our legends.

Make I just no end up setting players up.

Calling Inesta fraud because of stats, but hype Kante. Lol

[color=royalblue]You can praise any player because of their attributes. There is nothing wrong with that.

Kante can be anybody's legend. But when you want to compare him to anybody, be sure to have proof, which most likely rest on his personal efforts (stats)

Iniesta is a good player. But the moment you put him next to Xavi, and say he is better, he becomes a Fraud; Scamdres Fraudniesta[/color]

Southboy:
This is not my account

[color=royalblue]But that is the account that created this thread.

So why are you taking the responses?[/color]

donstan18:
Safe to say Mount>> Modric?

[color=royalblue]Career stats? [/color]

Emaprince:
Guy that one still dey burst my brain. Sometime I expect some one to come out of nowhere to debunk those claims by Duke. As in...how can a whole presidential aspirant be so ashamed of his childhood pics/story that he stole another politician own? Omo...this is where you will know that there is no shame in Nigeria. And his supporters are making excuses for him. E be things.

Nigeria is where you will be stupid and proud yourself for being stupid...if not I dont see how some one will see a very sick man (that should be advised to go and rest), and support him to carry the burden of the most populous black nation. Snapping pics ..editing and posting on social media to deceive people wey get sense pass them.

[color=royalblue]Tinubu is not a mortal. I wonder how many times we need to address this issue.

Tinubu was born in 19Fifty something

No primary school, no childhood friends, no secondary school, no pictures taken

No picture in Chicago University, no coursemates

The next event in his life was a degree from Chicago state University.

If this doesn't prove to you that we have a god on earth, i don't know what will [/color]

obainojazz:
Population is not the only metric to judge an area a city if not India and China will have 100 cities each.
Some countries can define an area with 200peoole per square kilometre as a city…. The threshold is much higher in China

Most countries already defined an area as a city and the status quo remains same…. This enables massive government spending and so on.

[color=royalblue]I just want to know what was used to define Lagos as the worst city to live in Africa.

Sportsweb:
Brace yourself. Argentina will win the World Cup.

[color=royalblue]I need to see my doctor

donstan18:
Everybody does this here.

Let’s not even go there or pretend it’s just all about Inesta.

You for instance, what was your reaction when I was using this same stats to defend Sterling?

Stats Hazard couldn’t match.

[color=royalblue]Show me where i countered your stats

I said Sterling isnt what we need because he is wasteful, and we don't have that luxury of wasting chances because of how limited our creative midfield is.

Everybody does not do it here. I no dey use trophy brag. Na stats be my anthem today, tomorrow and forever.
[/color]

[color=royalblue]So this thread has more pages that Bayern thread.

Dayo opened that thread 12 years ago.

Modric vs iniesta is not a hot debate here. I’m talking of the argument that is popular here.

[color=royalblue]

They will soon shift to another player now.

Just watch[/color]

[color=royalblue]Bia, Ebukacute

What will it take to stop Pessi from getting to the finals?

If it is human sacrifice, I am ready [/color]

[color=royalblue]Show us Scamdres career stats.

Bring it out, and stop going to Esquire, Sportybet.com and Pornhub for reference..

If you know Scamdres was the GPEL (Greatest Player Ever Liveth), let us see his career stats.

The same thing you guys will use to drag another player, you are shielding that fraud from[/color]
