Yes.

I think I am the biggest Messi fan in the world but I think he's not supposed to be in this top 3 shortlist.

But I think what influenced it was the fact that the voting period was about the same period the ballon dor was being voted for.

Yeah, he shouldn't. Not right but the truth is he'd probably win it again.

tesppidd:
The 2022 World Cup is not taken account of.

This award is from December 19th 2022.

I did read about it this morning. The world cup period was not excluded according to the report on sky sports.

Kobojunkie:

I leave you speechless? That should be a first, ain't?

FRANCISTOWN:
If anyone's got a problem with comprehension, I guess you should look inwardly.

I don't know whether you understand the Yoruba language, but the same statement translated to yoruba would be "T'oba jẹ́'yẹ́ẹ́...". In the Yoruba land. You don't even say to someone "iyẹ".

The fact that the wife brought up his mom simply means she stylishly resents the mom. She feels like the mother is getting a preferential treatment which of course she should.

Any wise woman should not put herself on the same level with her husband's mother. That's psychological illiteracy.

Also, the woman is one arrogant woman. She could have just apologized since she started the fire. But do you know why she wouldn't apologize? She already feels she's on the same level with her husband since she was lending out money to him.
The kinds of adult females we have springing up lately ehn. Marriage will soon lose popularity

We can all complain about manner of approaches or our expectations for a certain level of understanding and patience from our wives and husbands, but the fact is we must be reasonable with our expectations and fulfill our own part.

If the OP (husband) is actually owing his wife money and yet to pay, it's obvious that the reason the wife made that statement was because she clearly feels the OP is not showing her enough reasons that he's trying or willing to payback. Paying her back should be his priority now (or reiterate that he's doing his best to pay back) and then be angry enough not to borrow from her again if he feels so offended by this particular statement.


Expecting someone else to act reasonably when you yourself have not acted in a dignified manner is folly and lottery at best: you get what you see and not necessarily what you bargained for

4ward4:
Don’t make apologizing a common affair in marriage , rebuke her and move on like nothing happened. Making apology mandatory is setting your marriage on an official level, which isn’t health for a marriage as you know you can’t err without apologizing .
Married here and only on serious offenses are sorry used in my house, the rest like what your wife said is rebuked and we are good like nothing happened.

Not married but that's just it . Expecting apologies is like giving ultimatums. We all know ultimatums backfire the closer the relationship is between persons.

tesppidd:
Messi won it last January after the World Cup.
January 2023.

January 2024 should go to Haaland.

That's the caveat. Although they said the 2022 world cup period is still being taken into account for this one. Messi is the best footballer for as long as he plays in my opinion, but Halaand should win this one.

Beverlyjean:
These awards are total crap.... if its based on a world cup year( reason ghey gave messi) then the award should go to Hakimi ... he also won the league and also reached the semis of the WC , first ever for Africa... oshimhen and halaand dint play in the world cup .... if Messi deserves it due to the WC , then Hakimi deserves it as well... if oshimhen deserves Africa player, then Halaand deserves it

It's going to be difficult to argue that a defender should win the best player award partly because he was good and his team won titles. Reaching the semis was a great achievement but being a defender, he'd never win such an award because scoring goals and playing as an attacker is much harder.

If they want to give the award to the actual best player, Messi should be winning it every year. They sometimes tend to give it to players who had more team success or merely scored a few goals more.

Mind you, Messi had already won the FIFA THE BEST AWARD for the year 2022 he won the world cup. So Halaand maybe the winner because that feat has already being taken into account.

Beverlyjean:
What's brilliant about the way oshimhen plays football...but u all rooted for him .... oshimhen is not as good as salah all round...

Yes, I agree. Osimhen isn't as good as Salah all round. They both had great seasons individually scoring goals. However, Osimhen was able to lead his team to the league title. Liverpool won nothing last year and were pretty bad overall. Team success gave osimhen African footballer of the year.

Halaand won a lot last year both individually and collectively, but so did Messi. It then comes down to who you'd pay money to watch.

InventTech:
If we were to be unbiased based on the level of impact and individual brilliance made by each player throughout the season, then Haaland does deserves to win FIFA Best.

But then, seems the award is specifically designed for World Cup

Very hard to mentioned impact and individual brilliance and not arrived at Messi. There's absolutely nothing brilliant about the way halaand plays football. He's the most traditional and one-dimentional elite striker in the game. Absolutely nothing in his game apart from scoring goals.

If Messi can make Ronaldo comparatively look like a pure striker, he'd make Halaand look like a defender when you compare individual brilliance.

westlius:
I remember my first job interview
And the GM asked if I drink
I replied him yes I drink water alot
Everyone on the panel was laffing

Funny. Did you get the job?

PotatoSalad:
Nothing special about them.
Have you ever wondered why kids in very special private schools perform better than their mates in public schools? It's cis of the enabling environment.
We no get good leaders and most of the citizens are mentally handicapped by poverty or religion.
Fix these and Nigerians will shine.
Over there, once the bank sees potential in your business, they are the ones to approach you for grants and loans. You can have a startup as a nobody and you will flourish.
Can never happen in Nigeria.

The real star are not the superstars themselves, but those who create the stage for the superstars to shine.

It takes a special brain to be a revolutionary leader. Their "enabling environment" didn't just drop down from the sky. They built it.

RevolverOcelot:
Funny enough it's sometimes a human trait. Envy. Overfamiliarity. Contempt. The initial friendship may detiorate over time due to these human traits. The reversal is don't always make yourself available. Be independent as much as you can and don't, I repeat never let anyone know how much you hold. Like your bank balance or assets etc. It breeds jealousy and envy, especially from so called friends.

This advice is for a certain type of people of a certain mindset.

My kind of friends I like to keep are people who are able to see beyond all these types of small matters. It's stupid and irrelevant being envious of a "friend" earning 1million Naira a month when both of you are aware other people are earning 3 million in the same profession and level.

Actually, the closer my friends are to me, the less material things we share. But what I know is we'll always emphasize each other's positives when interacting with a third-party, whether informally or professionally.

They type of friends you make is a reflection of the way you think. A friend is no good if you have to be on guard 24/7 with them.

Fortunately, I don't have no bad friend stories to tell. I have very few "actual" friends. But it's all good. I've only known decent people in my life.

Angelfrost:
At the risk of being misconstrued as misogynistic, I have to completely agree with you.


I can understand mixing things up and getting in some equality by bringing in female match officials for men's games, but when it comes to football commentary, abeg leave am as e be.

Female commentary dey dull game seriously.

Let's call a spade a spade: you're a misogynist

Mindlog:
Like I asked earlier, what percentage of UBA workers in Nigeria would call Tony Elumelu by his first name, Tony?

I'm neither his staff or friend, so if I see him today, I'll call him Mr. Elumelu because that's his name. Calling him Tony wouldn't be right even for his bank staff because that's not the official way to address people who you share no personal relationship with. "SIR" and "Ma'am" are there to be used accordingly when conversing directly.

Coworkers calling themselves by first names is merely to foster a degree of cordiality. Unless he explicitly asked to be called Tony by every staffer, there's no basis for cordiality with members of staff who don't have any direct dealings with him.

MSN1:
Only learners like u don't know d meaning of REDPILL and being NEUTRAL.

Las las, woman go use una do shege.

SIR TELL D READERS D MEANING OF UR REDPILL U ARE FORMING?

Funny you, You think so highly of a girl that would readily sleep with her boyfriend's sideman (YOU)? Stories are half told.

omotolsy:
.

Hello. is the Vivo NEX A still available?

If you felt slighted reading that insensitive rubbish and callous generalization of people's socioeconomic backgrounds, don't be ashamed. It means you're merely human with a dose of empathy. Some discussions are better left unsaid.

Ameh1987:
Cutting the rope before alerting the neighbors makes the man a prime suspect. He could lie on her and be weeping but investigation should start from why cutting the rope before crying out

So, the man should have called the neighbors to come and see his wife hanging from the ceiling before trying to release her neck from the rope? Perhaps, he should have livestreamed the scene on tiktok before cutting the rope so that even you can believe.

Oga, try and comprehend the reasons given in the article for why the case is still under investigation. Hint: check the last paragraph because I'm sure you won't be able to find it without any handholding.

Hopefully, the investigators handling this case are not the regular dumb fuckers calling themselves police.

I don't think there's any man who wouldn't be offended by the tactless public stunt pull by this bride's mother. In fact, I'd say the more strongly you feel about domestic abuse, the more embarrassed such public admonitions must make you feel. A complete disrespect to not only the groom, but his parents and family present.

You can only hope the bride herself is not a carbon copy of her loudspeaker mother. Because there's only so much open disrespect anyone can bare.

GBPUSD:
But BBNaija show is readily available for these kids on national tv.

Pardon me asking: is BBN available on NTA?

Nevertheless, it's the job of adult to expose kids to content they deem appropriate. That's why there are PG advices for parents who don't know better.

You bought a laptop for 1 million naira and the battery only last for 4 hours? I don't think you need any advice. You get money pass tact.

As a Chelsea fan, I'm glad United will eventually be sold from one Glazer to another Glazer (Ratcliffe).

I'm pretty sure before this writer was born, people (girls) have experimented with this way of thinking with varying results. Not a single sense made was unique to her circumstance.

As small money don dey, OP don dey talk like say she get the decoder for navigating life.

I'm sure when you still dey ride Okada and wear slippers, you no fit get mind write about "What females need to succeed".

Anyone's always right after the facts.

narite:
Firstly, Chatting with smart ladies it all about catching cruise being a straight shooter (confidence) but combined with intellect. Saying things without brain will make you appear rude, irritating, rash and disgusting ( I guess this is the hardest part for most men)

You say things like you are just cruising not serious at all. I am assuring you; ladies knows how to decode things than we men. They get the real message without you saying it too serious.

Secondly, complement is good. Ladies loves complement, they constantly seek for it but never give it to them too easily. If you should do; they will instantly, intuitively know that you are a faggöt and They just finish blocking your type.

If you are going to give them complement, say it in such a way that the complement is not what you are actually going for but something else but you just have no choice but to point out the complement. This is kind of hard to explain. Using the Op example of sending message to a beautiful lady you saw on Facebook, I can say something like this.

Me: Good afternoon

Her: Hi

Me: I don’t know how to say this but For the past few days i have been extremely bored. What is even more worst, the people i keep coming across seems to have a more boring life than I am. I am Sure the devil himself most be finding my condition pitiful right now. He probably must be shedding some tears for me.

( point I want you to notice from this; is how I am telling her straightforward, right from the very beginning about my bored life but in not too serious a way)

Her: Lol. Hmmm

Me: Anyways; I was scrolling through this app like I always do but this time; I saw this glowing, gorgeous, seductive creature. Beautiful beyond human comprehension, then I say to myself; there is no way this creature could be Boring.

(Notice how I complement her, as if the complement is not what I am actually trying to point out but something else. Or make her prove herself, if she truly is all that I described) This is how you complement a lady. Never be direct with it. And most importantly notice how I am not too serious with words but just cruising. Ladies are good at decoding message. She knows all I am trying to say is can we be friends.

Her: Lol

Me: or is it possible for something to be bright and dull at the same time?

Her: Lol…I don’t know ooo

Me: I am from Ibadan. Where are you from?

Her: Ekiti

Well, I could see instances where following your route would work, but I maintain it'll only work on certain types of girls still. Smart or not smart.

The smart girls I know will probably tell you to be yourself and be original if you opened with such a long and complicated line like that.

And I expect smart girls to know when compliments are cheesy and exaggerated.

Blake755:
Omo you know there are some factor that can lead to this pentazocine is one of them due to warriors being addicted to the drug because it is been use to treat the pain most warriors including me use it often although it took the grace of God for me to stop
Two it depends on body system some people there only get healed after some times like me but not everyone is lucky please make una try campaign against Sickle and pentazocine too that drug is an opoid
As for the victim is like there parents are against it or it could be as a result of financial factors 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Thanks for the insight. I just made a quick search about the drug and discover most Nigerian hospitals treat Their sickle cell patients with it.

Blake755:
Are you a warrior

I don't understand what you mean by warrior.

narite:
Yeah! Most are dumb. The dumbs ones are easy to fu**cked without going through too much chitchat. I buy her some little stuffs, invite her over and get it over with.

You don’t establish meaningful relationship with the dumb one’s. Puss**y is all they have to offer and puss**y should be the only thing you should accept.

While the smart ones cannot be easily Bleep***ed with a plate of rice or some little cash offer. This ones are more intelligent. So, they are drawn to you by your level of intelligence, this has to do with how you dress, your confidence, if you are a great conversationalist (here comes what the OP is trying to say).

If you are the opposite of this things, meaning you are raggedy, lacks confidence, boring talks. They are going to take you for a faggöt. Your money can’t buy their puss*y, if you force it with money, you will end up becoming what they call mugu. It is this type of ladies you establish a meaningful relationship with. Anyone cannot just bend her over with a plate of rice or because you have got some beautiful gadgets.

In conclusion, there are two kinds of ladies; the dumb ones and the smart ones, don’t be deceive by the way they look (I can carry dozen’s of books and have absolutely nothing in my head) In their case, it the fashioned, graceful way they dress. know the one you are dealing with and the ways to deal with them.

Omo laugh wan kee me this morning for here 😂😂😂😂😂.

I share and agree with majority of what you said. But I still think most of the OP's prospective students actually know the drill better than the supposed teacher 😏.

According to the OP, this opening line will get the attention of the "smart" ones you talked about:

"I don't like messaging ladies I don't know,
but when I do...it means she has a beautiful
smile"

Would you open with that to the "smart" ones? 😁

Blake755:
Is like you don't know that leg ulcer is a silent killer

Permit me to ask with my limited knowledge of the situation, but was amputation discussed? Or that would have made matters worse since anemia patients generally don't heal or recover quickly?

That is some sight. I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing at first. May God grant her all the peace and favour she never got to enjoy in this life.

Had a bout with malaria the last few days and I hated myself and the way I felt. I can't imagine how she'd feel towards the world having been dealt that unfortunate hand.

Couples should know the price sickle cell sufferers pay is greater than any love they have for each other.

Djoel:
I couldn't have ever imagined that Reno is capable of this level of idiocy. What a soulless lost man. SMH.

He has always been capable of such. You only refused to see it as it is because he supported your corner.
