Until special laws are put in place to combat banditry, this will continue.

Honestly!

The few remaining are the ones who were lucky to have secured fixed assets and are still earning enough to not have to sell them.

Instead of selling their homes to shore up dying businesses in Nigeria, people would rather sell them and jápa.

I swear down, If I ever need to sell my house (God forbid!), it will be to escape this country.

For now, sha, we dey here.

Peeps, any money wey come Una way, go for fixed assets if jápa no dey Una plan.

Avoid clubs and lounges. Buy land, don't drink Azül!

Some boys no go still hear o.......

Almost everywhere of the world, if rain falls continuously for 18 hours, it will flood.

Water will find its way and there isn't any drainage you can build to evacuate that amount of water which is why it is called a flash flood.

When the rain stops, the water will go down. It is normal

I feel you, but truth be told, Lagos is overbuilt. Many parts of Lagos shouldn't have houses on them at all.

The kind of flooding I saw in that video tells me very clearly that the area is an obvious flood plain and shouldn't have been developed.

No, it isn't!

Once it's done in a building, it's no longer a Church.

Dtruthspeaker:
Don't think so.

Rather it's a sign that what you call gospel music ain't it. Club and God hate each other

Friendship with the world is enmity with God.

No, it isn't.

It's a mockery of God and all that pertain to Him.

They are singing the songs for the beats and continuing in their shameful conduct.

How can that be a sign of revival?

It's always the stupid, so-called "Christian" songs written by hungry people looking for money that club people like, because they are written to appeal to most people.

Fatjoe and his latest lambas . He has been throwing different lambas of late

We don't if na true or na lamba.

What would he gain by throwing this lamba?

Na money Davido wan give am ni, abi e go add to him street creds?

My own concern be say fat Joe dey connected to bad boys dem. Real gangsters, not mumble or drill rappers.

Wonder what that says about Davido.

Given that association football — otherwise known as soccer — is the world's most popular sport, it's no surprise that the beautiful game is the subject of near-constant debate from global fans of the game. And it's not just teams, managers, and players whose performances and skills get dissected by the masses, it's also the specific tactical roles they are supposed to be occupying on the soccer field.

Football divides people (often in the most entertaining ways), and positions are one of the many elements of the game that cause people to argue and debate amongst themselves. Both elite-level performances and disappointed displays from professional players can get fans considering the question


1. Goalkeeper

The amount of pressure that plagues the goalkeeper in soccer is what makes it such a difficult position. If a striker makes a mistake, the worst thing that happens is they don't score a goal. If a goalkeeper makes a mistake, it's highly likely that the ball will end up in the back of their net.

2. Centre Midfielder

The duties and responsibilities of a central midfielder in soccer are far-reaching; they regularly receive the ball under pressure and are tasked with constantly recycling possession and making dozens of pinpoint passes each per game. Not only do centre-mids need to provide protection for the defence and break up opposition attacks, they are also relied upon to get the ball forward to attackers and contribute in a creative sense.
Getting up and down the pitch in a dynamic, targeted way requires huge levels of stamina, and central midfielders are typically the most physically fit players on the soccer field, with some centre midfielders capable of running up to 12 or 13 kilometres per match. It's a tough gig, that's for sure.

3. Striker

It's very difficult for a soccer team to win a match without a striker who is capable of finishing chances from a range of different positions. Top strikers need to be able to put the ball in the back of the net even during games when they've received very little service, and if a team isn't scoring regularly, the pressure ramps up on the people at the top end of the pitch.

Forwards are not only relied upon for finishing chances and securing wins, but also for linking up with other players, holding up the ball, putting pressure on opposition defenders, and battling physically with centre-backs who are often big, bulky and commanding. As a result, this is one of the hardest positions in soccer, and it's very difficult (and expensive) to find a top quality striker.

4. Centre-Back

The amount of pressure piled on centre-backs is massive; they regularly have to face up against some of the best players in the game, marking speedy, strong, powerful, technically excellent forwards while leading a backline and communicating with both full-backs, defensive midfielders and goalkeeper in order to keep things as tight as possible.

In the modern game, central defenders at the top level are typically excellent on the ball as well as being some of the best athletes in the game. However, this position can still be occupied by some slower, less dynamic, and less technically gifted footballers, even in top flight football, and it typically involves less running than most other roles on the pitch, so for those reasons, there are other positions that are, on the whole, more difficult.

5. Full-Back

Back in the day, full-back is often where you'd find the game's less dazzling players, the kind of operators with strong positional awareness and decent technical ability but perhaps not the skill or footballing brains of a creative midfielder or forward. These days, things have changed and the demands placed on full-backs are far more extensive; alongside having excellent technical skills and passing ability, they also need serious stamina and are required to run up and down the flanks contributing both offensively and defensively.

6. Winger

First things first, it's important to note that every single position on the soccer field has its own stresses and demands, and anyone performing these roles at a professional standard is clearly a hugely talented athlete. But when it comes to the level of responsibility associated with an individual position, wingers and wide midfielders perhaps have the most license to focus on the glamorous side of the game without applying quite as much hard graft as certain other positions.

Wingers sometimes operate on the margins of games and are relied upon for moments of attacking quality, rather than being constantly tested and placed at the centre of their team's exploits. For that reason, it's one of the more easy positions in the sport.

"What is the hardest position in soccer?"

Source: obembet

Not properly defined.

There are different positions even for those you listed.

For me, the most difficult position is left full back, followed by centre full back. After the above, I'll pick the left wing, unless the player is a good sprinter and natural left footer.

Wasn't this guy just recently appointed?

The Kyari goon that was there before nko?

All of these are so unnecessary when only sapa can just help you do the job without stress

Sápa no reach everybody, Bro.

She even get money use do jaw wire, no sápa for dat babe side.

Will you stay or leave, if your examiner sets this type of question?

No issues here.

This exam allows the simulation of the actual workplace practice in IT.

The order of the day is collaboration, group discussion, research, learning and relearning.

Why ask students to solve problems alone when they will never do that in the real world?

By their trademark (losers) you shall know them…

Which LP?

Labour Party, or Lamidi Party?

Chilipepper:
No wonder some fathers dey kpai quickly 😔😔loads are much!

Is this what you go through as a father?

This is not realistic, for one reason.

How many fathers have six kids nowadays?

Other than that, as a fully certified father of two, it's close.

PresidObi:
It's a funny country indeed, all of them doesn't know where their president went to school and they think they will ever find out what he has in plan for them?

When the beginning is fraudulent, the end is already doomed.

I really don't get it. My Secondary School has some prominent alumni, we have a Deputy Governor, House of Rep members, top businessmen, Nollywood actor, popular singer, etc.

My Uni has Rep member, senior military officer(s), etc.

They all know us and relate well with us. We attend meetings, AGMs, hangouts. All the time.

How can people have a PRESIDENT as classmate and they keep quiet about it?

Chai........so the FG want to replace hardship in the Academia with hardship and DEBT.

Just wonderful.

Students will be in debt.

Lecturers will.be in debt.

Only politicians will not be in debt.

Muslim-Muslim ticket lamba worked well on their brains, now they can't feed their kids.

Next election, APC will bring N4k and 2 kilos of rice, and the hungry galoots will collect it and vote again.

What a boogaloo!

Very soon, dispatch riders will be using location sharing, else den go lost with pipu goods.

Benue women empowered with branded wheelbarrows

I'm old enough to remember when governors did not engage in fanfare, or all these stupid "empowerment programmes", sharing nonsensical stuff to poor, hapless people.

Ask anyone who remembers the years of Ambrose Alli, Lateef Jakande, Adamu Atta, Cornelius Adebayo, Solomon Lar, Sam Mbakwe, those days, government providing all exercise books and textbooks was taken for granted. There were expatriates in our general hospitals and schools. i remember getting a tooth extracted by an American lady dentist, and schools having British and Indian teachers.

The Naira was worth more than the Dollar, so, they could come here to work.

Funny things is, Nigeria is actually richer now than back then. It's just that we now have thieves in government.

Your structural engineering was just one module of my engineering course. That's all I will say.

Oooooh......you must be a bloody architect.

You took a course in Structural Engineering, one course.......

Hmmmmm........ No point joining issues with you anymore. Argue with yourself.

I'm out.

Fajimarketplace:
You're just loud mouthed. What's empirical about looking at videos and determining cause of failure? Do you not know that the shear forces and bending moments acting on the beams as a result of the concrete collapse can distort the original structure of the beams and its associated components?

Please don't use this half baked approach to calculate loads on structural analysis and design. It's basic engineering to know that you can only determine sizing of load carrying beams and rods from only engineering SF and BM calculations, not merely looking at structure "inside your head".

And if you will humbly go to my original comment and read again, I clearly said it should be investigated to determine cause of failure, which could also include the point you've made, but by virtue of your "20 years experience" you have been cast in your old ways, which is a safety hazard in its self.

Have a great day.

Are you an engineer?

You're just speaking too much English.

I'm sure you're not one if you think experience does not matter.

"Shear forces and bending moments" 😁

You sound like a 2nd year student!

Balabluu for just no open mouth at aaaaal!

These people don't know that their evil auras can cause trouble.

Fajimarketplace:
Are you Coren certified? If yes, I'm surprised at this your statement. Do you understand root cause analysis and load bearing capacities?

20 years experience, but you can tell by looking at a video, the cause of a building collapse.No test, no investigation whatsoever.

With experts like you, perhaps we should scrap all engineering failure investigations.

Yes.

I'm COREN certified.

It's possible to see the poorly reinforced structure from the video.

Are you not looking at the same pics and video I'm seeing?

See, I'm done arguing with you.

Carry your fellow experts to examine the soil.

These people are so shameless when it comes to opening their mouths.

You want constant power supply, you have to pay it.

Constant power supply?

Where?

Tell me where, I'll move there and gladly pay for it

I was expecting praise singers of Tinubu on this thread and i wasn't disappointed.

You see, there's a high level of stupidity in the population and that's why we are not going forward as a nation.

Someone up there said the debt owed by the FG for services ALREADY PROVIDED by the GenCos should be used as a bargaining chip for FUTURE services. How does that make any sense.

Apart from the fact that it's negotiating under duress and can even be classified as bad faith, when making an agreement about the future, you can't use monies owed previously as a tool for bargaining. Eve if the GenCos were to disagree, the FG still has a obligation to pay them what is owed cause services has already been provided.

Nairaland is a whole lot, I tell you.

Democracy flounders when smart people are the minority.

dahmie2013:
Are you thinking? When did debtors start setting conditions for creditors?

See?

It's people like that individual that will not allow Nigeria to work.

People who can't think right because their stomach is their new brain.

His focus is more in the shambolic renovation and renaming of the International Conference Center and the so-called Coastal Highway.

Things that may ease the pains of the people are low on his priority list.

I still don't get how the increased electricity tariffs don't at least go towards servicing the debts.

Are people not paying for electricity?

Just open a thread about monthly electricity charges (with proof) and see how people are paying exorbitantly for electricity in the name of "Band A
