And when the chadiens refuses to leave because "obviously our military isn't a threat to them", we would pay the cameroonians or Nigerians to help us fight them?
Everytime I see absurdities on this thread and feel that is the worst I can ever see, some people still manage to set newer records.

On two different occasions the Chadians have come to our RESCUE. Once in February 2015 and their advance was so rapid we had to tell them to stop. And again quite recently before their withdrawal a 2/3 months ago.

What the NA was not been unable to achieve in years the Chadians were able to do in weeks.

So why did you come up with this nonsensical proposition that they will refuse to leave Nigeria.

To what purpose or benefit, that's simply not even rational to put it lightly.

They say " Pride comes before a fall" we are stuck in the delusional idea that we have some tag giant of Africa.

Wake up we have an over inflated view of our nation. That only we seem to have.

Bokoharam wasn't uprooted in chad bro..You need to reduce your misinformation abeg

So what happened they came to do Holiday in Nigeria but will soon return back to Chad.

Etebo self be like wuru wuru player ,jam body foot ball so why won’t he fit in at stoke ?

You see any short man for Stoke ❓

The ball is mostly in the air and they don't have much pace. I also think with the new manager Etebo tire for the kick and rush football. The quality of football is this particular game is rubbish.

I deh go Tesco go buy palmee, I don tire too look, Eee de pain my � eye.

andrewbaba44:
Watching the game also

Stoke never still change when their ugly style of play

They are currently leading 1 nill but I don’t see them winning this game even if I want them to win because of west brom

You can see that a player like Etebo will automatically become surplus to requirements in this team under this type of Manager.

This team will head and fight thier way to win games. Look at the Stoke team they all look like egbe wagers and boxers.

andrewbaba44:
Lol

Oya no vex ,e be like I get you wrong

Watching Brentford play Stoke and the game us very poor it's not pleasing to the eyes AT ALL.

Stoke are playing police game, kick and rush using endeavour physicality to push thier way forward to do more than 3 passes a problem.

They are trying to force Brentford to play thier type of game and not their usual passing on the deck game.

BascoVanVeli:
Tah. How long did Pogba's transfer take? Wasn't the sticking point money, didn't it take weeks to generate? Did Manchester United fans feels any type of way when he signed? How about Sanchez who was all but a Manchester city player until he changed his mind?

You are clutching at straws to defend the indefensible.

Pogba was wanted by Manchester United to return and the delay was not in indecision and or posturing about him going to other clubs. It was simply the contract negotiations nothing else and it wasn't that long but most importantly with the one club in the discussion not multiple clubs.

Sanchez no delay just once again contract negotiations with Manchester United alone no other clubs .

I would not call these situations protracted and long and or in anyway similar.

You are trying to find a comparative situation to justify your narrative, sorry it fails woefully.

andrewbaba44:
I will never talk about league one here ,dat one komekn hand work and some few foreign born asslickers

The only reason I do check about the championship is because of semi ajayi ,the guy is a starter in the super eagles and I was praying so hard to see him in the epl ,I don’t give a fvck about ebere eze and co

Tell me one league one players I have talked about apart from Joe Aribo in the last year as a prospect for the SE and or Josh Maja.

jihday:
This one na lie sha

It's good to look before you leap. Do you really think that l will just to tell lies, to what purpose.

There are things l know from first hand involvement that become news much later, which is what most people rely on here.

But before you do you should know that Holloway was the Manager at Millwall when both Onyedinma and Eze were at Millwall. When he left to be Manager at QPR he made a clear and open offer for Onyedinma. Who was very hot property AT THAT TIME.

He felt betrayed by Neil the new Manager at Millwall who is a quintessential English kick and rush, blood and guts manager. It was so bad Onyedinma very unprecedented, refused to ever play for Millwall.

He went lower stopped to conquer and has effectively brought Wycombe Wanderers to the Championship from league one. He was also Injured since October 4 months out.

BascoVanVeli:
Most don't believe that somebody is willing to pay that much for the lad.

Let me make this clear, Victor has a right to change his mind and go where he feels comfortable. Nobody outside of Lille should dare make a deadline for him. They don't call the shot, he does and deservedly so. When u sign Osimhen u don't only get the [b ]best young player in the world [/b] but u also get the hardest working player on your team. At his age he is already a leader and has the respect of his teammates.

Even if he is " the best player in the world" his current behaviour will not endear him to any club or the fans.

charlesemeka85:
the napoli move is the best for his young career and i foresee him doing very well with them if he eventually joins. he can move to the epl in the next 2 or 3 seasons when he has made a name for himself in the serie A

Agreed without reservation

soetanoreoluwa:
Why are you all giving up on Victor transfer saga?

He needs to make a good decision for himself to avoid story that touches heart. Let him try all the possibilities.. Moreover, his image right is very important.

He is currently giving himself a bad name and reputation with all this totally unnecessary far from honourable conduct.

He is not the only good striker in the world, chasing shadows left right and center.

He is creating a situation where Napoli could just say they are tired of all this theatre.

And if he goes back to Lille he would have created tension by his conduct and that will affect his position in the club.

andrewbaba44:
Are you sure Brentford will beat stoke ?

Let’s pray they get a draw

In the Championship any team can beat any team on their day.

Nonetheless, on paper Stoke don't have the quality to beat Brentford. My predictions 3-1 to Brentford.

Joebie:
And Nwakali makes an entry in the 89th minute and the thread explodes once more

The Segunda is very poor financial league as well as low quality.

It is not by any means in the standard or quality of the Championship.

Now we are talking about players playing in leagues that are rated 35+ and many consider it bias and favoritism to talk about players in English league one.

What's shocking if you look at the way Huesca is set up they are poorer than many not just a few league one clubs.

The team is made up of free transfers, loan players and a very few paid transfers. And this dude Nwakali keeps getting talked about here.

I remember years ago l talked about Fred Onyedinma as a prospect and l got dogs abuse and still do from some. This is a player who refused to play for Millwall and voluntarily decided to drop to league one with Wycombe Wanderers. A players who declined transfer offers to QPR and Watford.

But it's considered bias and favoritism towards English origin players on my part by some.

That's naked blatant bigoted double standard and hypocrisy.

charlesemeka85:
Osimhen's greatest mistake will be joining any of spurs or Liverpool.

Liverpool tactics doesn't favor out n out strikers while the presense of Kane will make it very difficult for Victor to start games.

[b]United seem like a side that will accommodate Victor more judging by martial's inconsistency [/b]and the need for a typical number 9 in the team. Ighalo's stay elapses jan

Amongst all i think Napoli is the best team for he to join because he will be the undisputed number 9

I want you to review what you said about Martia in the bold.

Then you guys will accuse me of bias, what actually is happening is anytime a person does not get euphoric and over hype our players it's defined as bias and prejudice.

But back to Martial he is still very young just 3 years older than Victor. But with 7 years of top flight football experience. He is the modern day forward playing as a winger and or striker indeed what you have now with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood is interchangeable play all can play wing.

These players dont play with everything going through one player as the focal point of all attacks. That is essentially the experience of Victor.

In addition these three players are adapt at striking with both feet and technically astute. That's not a strength of Victor.

But back to Martial 30 EPL games and 17 goals this season and counting and that's why you call inconsistency.

Victor exploits in French League one will not give him any advantage over the existing strikers. He does not bring something different and or better.

This is where Ighalo has an advantage he brings hold up play and physicality with presence when they need to get rough and fight for a result.

What will Victor bring that they don't already have. Is it speed he is not faster than the current first choice three, he is not more technical and you may wish to disagree he is not better.

I remember Falcao very experienced proven and quality striker from the French league, ended up crying like a baby in Manchester United.

He is even better going to Tottenham but his best option if he has not spoiled that option is too quickly go to Napoli.

Going back to Lille with the players they have bought and sold. May see his value drop dramatically because they would have studied his game and he will not have the same support in the team he had this season.

Faithful007:
The only option for Nigeria to move forward is to employ foreign actors in this war before it turns to something overboard. Though that has some disadvantages, it should reduce the bht and iswap before they reach the stage of the houthi's and the likes

We just need to accept the fact that we are not longer the big brother we think we are.

Swallow our pride and beg the Chadians to come and help us they did it before they can do it again.

I think moral in the army is at a very low level.

I think it would be much much cheaper to pay the Chadians as well.

Subzero047:
West Brom need to get a striker if they are ready to stay in the premiership

Quality striker are very expensive, better to get a loan deal, Rhian Brewster would fit thier philosophy.

solonnachi:
Why do I have this disturbing feeling that if Osimhen goes to Tottenham, Mou would do to him as he did to Mikel?

Just thinking aloud sha

This Tottenham speculation is not without credence. One should look at the relationship that Mourinho has with Lille.

However, one must also look at the underachievement of Mourinho in his last two clubs in the EPL. And the possibility of him being sacked at Tottenham is not far away.

So it is not a good move for an inexperienced striker like Osimhen. Who still needs time to develop further, not given huge expectations at a club that has not performed for sometime to the level expected. In addition there is Kane, Son-Hueng, Lucas and he will have to compete with players who are more experienced in the EPL if not better.

So in my opinion best bet is Napoli and he should do the deal without anymore unnecessary delay all this posturing is not giving him a good name.

Deviation from main topic

Just noticed the defence industry in the UK has developed a more advanced UAV than the USA Reaper UAV. And contracts have been awarded for 3 initially at £65 million.

A pointer on how important UAV technology is becoming in modern warfare. Particularly woth a 40 hour endurance.

See below.

Toju200:
it's becoming something else I feel they are planning something big oo.

All these attacks around Maiduguri seems like they are testing the defences for something bigger.

Unfortunately in the context of Nigeria being forewarned does not necessarily translate to being forearmed and prepared.

Everybody could see after Boko were uprooted in Chad where they were going too. But what did we do.

The spate of ambushes and attacks are no longer what can be ignored.

ugo4u:
Retired senior officers/competent civilians can be hired to run it just like any other private firm with yearly audit. Once there are solid structures corruption can be contained.
It's possible, NAF personnels no get two heads na. I even know of one of NAFs subsidiaries senior NAF officers and some civilians are board members, quarterly external auditors are hired to audit the coy. If anybody touch N1 it will be traced.

Algeria army heavily involved in civil engineering roads and heavy infrastructure projects.

The NA has the capacity but is not patronised l suspect that it's not going to be easy for over inflation and kick backs.

In many regards if you use the NA for road construction it will be way cheaper, accountable and transparent. And all those nonsensical demands for community payments deve will simply be non existent .

Finally, who wants to owe the NA money after they have completed a contract.

FieldMarshall06:
The Nigerian military was established to serve Nigerians; and as a bonafide Nigerian citizen and a tax payer I have every right to condemn the excessive nonsensical criticism of our military, especially when you use public telecomms data for such innuendoes .

In advanced countries citizens don't critique their militaries irresponsibly and nag when disciplinary action is being taken against erring officers. It is only in a third world country that chicken men like yourself are programmed to think in a certain way, no wonder nothing ever seen to be working in climates that host your likes. Lol, so you are abroad abi

Rather than come with a sensible rebuttal you delved into fallacy of false equivalence.

Considering your claims regarding advanced countries, where did you get that idea from ❓ ❓

Advanced country l would presume to mean countries like the USA, UK and Germany, etc

I know of a mother who sued the British army for wilful negligence when her son died, and she
won the case.

I can assure you that the levels of blatant corruption that we have seen for decades in Nigeria you will not find in advance countries.

Many of the actions of our Generals would see them court martialed donkeys ago. Considering what he has been charged for in Nigeria that will not even get to become news.

You have no idea what you are talking about. It's better to be silent and thought to be wise than speak and thought to be hmmm.

I was watching the Ctv news and they reported multiple attacks in Maiduguri, particularly an attack on 33 Artillery Brigade Maiduguri .

When Chad kicked out Boko from thier territory it was rubbished here. But Boko have clearly relocated and it's in our own backyard.

The expected decimation of Boko seems yet to have happened. We can post as many news clips and videos of Boko getting kicked in the head and uprooted.

But it is not translating to what is happening on the ground. Large parts of Borno are not in the control of the state. There is no Propaganda and or spin that can hide the facts.

Why don't we swallow our pride and stop posturing it's apparent that we are struggling to cope.

If Boko can attack for several hours 33 Artillery brigade. That means an all out attack on Maiduguri is no longer unthinkable but being planned.

And for those thinking that when we eventually get those over hyped and over priced A29's, it's game over for Boko. That's DELUSION.

God forbid Boko enter the huge metropolis of Maiduguri. You can't bomb anywhere because there will be too many civilians and they will not be allowed to leave. It will have to be house to house and door to door fighting with troops on the ground. That will be bloody.

TheLoneCitizen:
Man, Keita not quality?

One of the most gifted central midfielder in the world not quality? Dude.

One of the most gifted CM in the world, where did you get that from❓

Dude has struggled to replicate his dominant form in the Bundesliga. Compare 58 Bundesliga games and 14 goals to 42 games in the EPL and just 3 goals. It's clearly obvious.

Keita is not first or second choice but the 3/4 choice midfielder.

He is not essential to Liverpool ascendency he is an attachment that can be sold at anytime if a decent offer is made for him.

Edopesin:
Nothing like that, I still believe Liverpool won't win

Aubmeyang, Willock and Ceballos quality players coming in. Arsenal could now win this game

Meanwhile Liverpool subs are not the same quality Keita and Minamino.

Meanwhile that Keita age hmmm African football age he is officially 25.

andrewbaba44:
Hmmm

Maybe it will end in a draw

Arsenal na yeye team sha ,I won’t blame you for saying Liverpool will beat them ,even me self no believe that team at all

I went away to watch something else believing it's a foregone conclusion.

But what Arsenal are in front.

However, can be very inconsistent Arsenal with thier leaky defence hold on to this lead. I doubt it.

I am watching Arsenal about to get flogged by Liverpool.

No matter what they do, Liverpool will win.

Dannyxy:
too bad your opinion, your leadership, are all irrelevant in the scheme of things...

Make that assumption for yourself you have no idea who he is or who knows.

Curtisaxel7:
Wow.

Can't wait for him to start banging in the goals. I will personally lead the call for his call up to replace certain dead wood players in our attack.....like one open mouthed bang average flop masquerading as an SE striker upandan .

I prefer a sick old living lion to a dead young dog, anytime anyday.

Agreed without reservation or question

Obagoal has probably been the most consistent quality striker we have that's still active.

He has been quality everywhere he has been.

Danielnino00:
You could have said the same thing if you watched Aston Villa and Norwich in thw championship last season...


Most of these championship teams don't last long in the EPL...

Bournemouth, Brighton are quite new to the EPL and it wasn't that long West Ham, Villa came back.

Burnley are for me very hard working team Championship team that are still in the EPL. These are teams that use hard work, highly disciplined in thier structure to grind out results.

Just like Sheffield United these teams don't have any expensive stars every body works very HARD.
