Jayhome24:
Constructive criticism is not same as insulting criticism and Adekunle didn't trolled Gej son or daughter but this dude fiercely trolled innocent kid which is certainly wrong and bad so sowore rest biko.

SaintLucia:
He critized Jonathan and didn't defame him.
How can an idiot woke up and post on his X that someone child is dead because of social media validation even when you know the story is not true. That is not freedom of speech but freedom to jail.

You never see anything. Kusanov was supposed to get sent off against Arsenal. He brought down Havetz when Havetz was clear on goal. It was supposed to be a straight red but it wasn't even checked. All of you celebrated it. Now it's biting back. I am so glad it is Chelsea that it is biting now. This is what happens when you watch football with hatred.

It eventually hunted Chelsea. I am so glad, not glad because Chelsea lost actually but glad that they were denied a possible penalty that would have helped them come back into the game.

Arsenal Vs Man U, Dogu touched the ball with his hand before he shot and scored that wonder goal. By football law, ball to hand or hand to ball by your opponent leading to a goal against you is to be disallowed. The incident wasn't even checked while goal stood. In the same match, Macquarie touched the ball with his hand which was supposed to be a penalty for Arsenal. It was ignored and Arsenal lost while you all celebrated. One thing I know about Man U is they hardly suffer such decisions. They are usually the ones favoured in these circumstances.

Sonofgod1990:
Arsenal fans Will learn new things very 🔜.

Hbp will deal with many of them

Sonofgod1990:
5 crates of Heineken for you my man. But no allow arsenal people to catch you ooo

Belurved1:
As man u fan, I'm not convinced but "do we have alternatives? No.
Anyhow just continue jare even if you let us down I won't be surprised.

Sccarrr:
that's how they roll...when it's Arsenal they celebrate it, I remember clearly the push on Gabriel and Odegard from the back with both hands against Newcastle 😹😹 that resulted in goals...they all justified it saying Arsenal players were not strong enough 😹, immediately small thing go in favor of Arsenal...the whole media blow up and they start crying

Go into a very very deep fasting and prayer , postpone the weeding date. Wait for God to give you a very obvious sign that she's your wife... I'm not a very religious person but believe me when it comes to choosing life partner, God will personally intervene if you ask him for direction

RISQUE:
Very stvpid man who is sitting as a Governor. Fubara had all the money to deal with Wike but decided to be stvpid. What annoys me is fact he made some of these guys who lost today believe he could fight but then no know say fubara na confirmed Akamu.

Frank Edoho should go on his knees and pray.
He divorced the first one.
Divorced the second one.

So he cannot endure and make his marriage work? Is this how he would be divorcing upandan? I pity him when he is 65yo. He would be hustling smallies like Ned. And they will still leave him after posting his blokos on IG.

Fight for your home, kings. All these menists telling you to divroce your wife, they are enduring worse in their homes o. They will na come online to scatter your own. Be sexy. Wear red boxers and gym. Stop keeping malice. Women go where there peace of mind. 🙏

Bridges, ports and railway networks, universities and research centres, and several power plants and water desalination plants were directly hit, while a large number of hospitals, schools and civilian homes were also damaged or destroyed.

While Iran targeted and destroyed US bases and military facilities inside Occupied Palestine, US and its proxy were targetting civilian infrastructures and killing school children. Smh.

Now the world knows why US and its proxies can not be trusted with nuclear power.
