After the Jan 15 Coup, Nationwide, there was jubilation, except in the North who justly felt it as an ethnic purging. But then, why wouldn't it seem so, when they were the one's filled up in the Government.


The nation was happy, there was a breath of fresh air, all of you keep ignoring that, but keep telling us that Ethnicity purging took place.


as long as people like me is alive, we will make sure we correct rewriting of history by people like you.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Does not explain why APC did not win a single seat and still won the governorship

score goals like RVN and not like Rashford.


i told you, they voted for individuals, and none of the APC candidates appealed to them enough.

But Uzodinma appealed to them, and they voted for him. cest fini

0monnak0da:
Today is the anniversary of January 15th 1966 when evil men went out and selectively murdered Yoruba and Northern leaders whilst sparing their own.
This was the root of all the political problems we have today

sorry o, very corrupt leaders, you forgot to add.



and if you read your history well, you'd know that the populace in Lagos were very happy that they did. because their corruption was stinking(not as bad as Shagari's or IBB's), but for a 6 year old nation, the nation was on a downward spiral.


Yes, it turned out to be a ethnic purging, but i ask, how many Igbos were in the country's political sphere as compared to those whom the British handed over power to?

RuudVanNisteroy:
How on earth will voters that voted 'massively' for APC in the same polling booth in the Governorship election now vote for another party in the House of Assembly election a second later?

Like i said, they voted for candidacy, and not for party.


I'm not supporting them, but i'm answering your question

RuudVanNisteroy:
Imo state House of Assembly composition:
PDP = 13 members
AA = 6 members
APGA = 6 members
APC = Zero
Supreme Court said APC won. What kind of species are imo people. They "massively" voted for APC in Guber election, but voted other parties in HoA elections that took place same day. They must have assumed that we're all stupid, don't they?

Does this make sense to you? APC won the Governorship and on the same people that voted for APC refused to vote for any of their candidates to represent them in the House of Assembly on the same day.

It's a different thing to ask for explanation, it's a different thing to be wailing over a SC judgement.

What if the people actually voted for "candidacy" and not "party"

Afterall, in the East, APC is not liked. What if that's what happened?



i also think, if PDP were robbed, really robbed like you people are portraying it to be, by now, they would have come out with proves as to how they were robbed, as to how SC ruled against them


we don't know what happened in house, and PDP themselves haven't proved in anyway they are robbed, except crying as usual that they were robbed, where's the proof that they were?

Why on Earth would INEC exclude APCs vote from over 300 PUs, only APC, not the other parties, as it's not in your favor, you're not bothered, no?


Ask the real question abeg. Why did INEC exclude only APCs vote from 300+ PUs. Why not declare the whole PUs inconclusive?


And also, why has the PDP not "proved" in actuality that they were robbed? na only complaints dem put for ground

"Nigeria won't survive another massive scale rigging as the one that happened in the '83 elections"



Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1983




Lo and behold, we had the 2003 elections, even worse than the 83 elections, we had the 2007 elections, awful elections, and Nigeria is still alive.



No, there is no hope for Nigeria!

Which of these news hit you the most?��

FIFA announces like at least 8 years before the year faa. 4 years is not it

komekn:
Quite correct he made it in week 27 after his performance and goal scored. Proven and established with regard to week 27.

I should have said he hasn't made it in a long time prior to week 27, that would be more exact. As you know "a long time" doesn't have a particular unit of measurement.

So what exactly are you intending to prove❓

What is the substance of your argument and or view as the case may be. Because you do not seem to present any.

just admit your misrepresentation and proceed naa, it won't cost a thing


@bolded can you even hear yourself? It doesn't have a unit of measurement, none of us here are kids, and when you say a long time, you certainly weren't refering to "last week"

You said he hasn't been on there in a long time, i proved you wrong, and instead of you to admit and go "jejely" you're asking for my substance of argument.


My substance of argument was to prove you wrong and make you take back your words

komekn:
So we are discussing English language and not football.

In language context qualifies the meaning of the text and diction not the singular adjective standing on its own.

Ndidi will be a regular on the weekly inform ratings of players in the EPL that's my informed deduction. However, KC has not.

That's the substance.

My advice is if you wish to contend my view why don't you get the direct source content from skysports.

Do understand what it means to be substantive and reference your position.

Instead of giving a primary school irrelevant lecture on English language.

komekn:
That's the first time he has made that top 50 in a very long time.

Matchday 16

No 27. Kelechi Iheanacho LEI

u11ae1013:
osubade aides right now

it saddens me to think you're a yoruba man and you're doing all these. For likes?

omo Adunni, ronu oooooo

komekn:
To really buttress your point why not be substantive as opposed to being assumptive.

I showed screenshots.

this isn't a SS matter. It's about what you said. It's not assumptive either. You said, and i quote:

komekn:
Ndidi is a regular in this weekly widely fluctuating assessments.

You used the adverb, "weekly",

Google defines weekly as;
adjective
done, produced, or occurring once a week.


adverb
once a week.

noun
a newspaper or periodical issued every week.



So definitely, you saying weekly meant it reoccurs every week.


Yet, down in another post, you out of your Hatred(yes, an assumption) and bias(this one is a known fact) to KC, rubbished him again, I quote:

komekn:
That's the first time he has made that top 50 in a very long time.

so i ask, since the picture you uploaded clearly showed a red arrow, indicating a drop in position, don't even try to argue this fact, it's used everywhere, even outside sports.

If KC hasn't been in the top 50 in a long time, why is his name carrying a red arrow showing a drop in position?



isn't it supposed to be green, telling us that he climbed up after being away for a long time like you postulated?

komekn:
You jumped into quickly without established the assessment methodology and structure as well as rational behind the weekly match day stats.

It's players who performed in a particular match in the week.

Ndidi is placed at no.38 and KC 48.

That's the first time he has made that top 50 in a very long time.

The argument centred on what you define IN-FORM to be. Or you could say what is it in general accepted to be in the context of football in Europe.

My definition was reflective of the generally accepted definition predominantly used on football. Which is essentially over a series of games of consistent outstanding performances to conclude that a player is IN- FORM.

I guess everyone can create thier own

Its a weekly assessment you say, yet, his ranking is showing red, indicating he dropped as regards to the previous week.



But at the bolded, it's the first time he has made top 50 in a long time


I guess last week is a long time after all

Idi Amin (c. 1923–August 16, 2003), who became known as the "Butcher of Uganda" for his brutal, despotic rule as the President of Uganda in the 1970s, is perhaps the most notorious of Africa's post-independence dictators. Amin seized power in a military coup in 1971, ruled over Uganda for eight years, and imprisoned or killed at least 100,000 of his opponents. He was ousted in 1979 by Ugandan nationalists, after which he went into exile.



Early Life
Idi Amin Dada Oumee was born around 1923 near Koboko, in the West Nile Province of what is now the Republic of Uganda. Deserted by his father at an early age, he was brought up by his mother, an herbalist and diviner. Amin was a member of the Kakwa ethnic group, a small Islamic tribe that had settled in the region.


Success in the King's African Rifles
Amin received little formal education. In 1946, he joined Britain's colonial African troops known as the King's African Rifles (KAR) and served in Burma, Somalia, Kenya (during the British suppression of the Mau Mau), and Uganda. Although he was considered a skilled soldier, Amin developed a reputation for cruelty and was almost cashiered on several occasions for excessive brutality during interrogations. Nevertheless, he rose through the ranks, reaching sergeant major before finally being made an effendi, the highest rank possible for a black African serving in the British army. Amin was also an accomplished athlete, holding Uganda's light heavyweight boxing championship title from 1951 to 1960.


A Violent Start
As Uganda approached independence, Amin's close colleague Apollo Milton Obote, the leader of the Uganda People's Congress (UPC), was made chief minister and then prime minister. Obote had Amin, one of only two high-ranking Africans in the KAR, appointed as first lieutenant of the Ugandan Army. Sent north to quell cattle stealing, Amin perpetrated such atrocities that the British government demanded he be prosecuted. Instead, Obote arranged for him to receive further military training in the U.K.


Soldier for the State
On his return to Uganda in 1964, Amin was promoted to major and given the task of dealing with an army in mutiny. His success led to a further promotion to colonel. In 1965, Obote and Amin were implicated in a deal to smuggle gold, coffee, and ivory out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A parliamentary investigation demanded by President Edward Mutebi Mutesa II put Obote on the defensive. Obote promoted Amin to general and made him chief-of-staff, had five ministers arrested, suspended the 1962 constitution, and declared himself president. Mutesa was forced into exile in 1966 after government forces, under the command of Amin, stormed the royal palace.


Coup d'Etat
Idi Amin began to strengthen his position within the Army using the funds obtained from smuggling and from supplying arms to rebels in southern Sudan. He also developed ties with British and Israeli agents in the country. President Obote first responded by putting Amin under house arrest. When this failed to work, Amin was sidelined to a non-executive position in the Army. On January 25, 1971, while Obote was attending a meeting in Singapore, Amin led a coup d'etat, taking control of the country and declaring himself president. Popular history recalls Amin's declared title to be "His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular."


Amin was initially welcomed both within Uganda and by the international community. President Mutesa—fondly known as "King Freddie"—had died in exile in 1969, and one of Amin's earliest acts was to have the body returned to Uganda for a state burial. Political prisoners (many of whom were Amin followers) were freed and the Ugandan Secret Police was disbanded. At the same time, however, Amin formed "killer squads" to hunt down Obote's supporters.


Ethnic Purging
Obote took refuge in Tanzania, from where, in 1972, he attempted unsuccessfully to regain the country through a military coup. Obote supporters within the Ugandan Army, predominantly from the Acholi and Lango ethnic groups, were also involved in the coup. Amin responded by bombing Tanzanian towns and purging the Army of Acholi and Lango officers. The ethnic violence grew to include the whole of the Army, and then Ugandan civilians, as Amin became increasingly paranoid. The Nile Mansions Hotel in Kampala became infamous as Amin's interrogation and torture center, and Amin is said to have moved residences regularly to avoid assassination attempts. His killer squads, under the official titles of "State Research Bureau" and "Public Safety Unit," were responsible for tens of thousands of abductions and murders. Amin personally ordered the execution of the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, the chancellor of Makerere College, the governor of the Bank of Uganda, and several of his own parliamentary ministers.


Leadership
Amin was considered by many to be a gregarious, charismatic leader, and he was often portrayed by the international press as a popular figure. In 1975, he was elected chair of the Organisation of African Unity (though Julius Kambarage Nyerere, president of Tanzania, Kenneth David Kaunda, president of Zambia, and Seretse Khama, president of Botswana, boycotted the meeting). A United Nations condemnation was blocked by African heads of state.

Hypomania
Popular legend claims that Amin was involved in blood rituals and cannibalism. More authoritative sources suggest he may have suffered from hypomania, a form of manic depression characterized by irrational behavior and emotional outbursts. As his paranoia became more pronounced, Amin imported troops from Sudan and Zaire. Eventually, less than 25 percent of the Army was Ugandan. Support for his regime faltered as accounts of Amin's atrocities reached the international press. The Ugandan economy suffered, with inflation eclipsing 1,000%.

Exile
In October 1978, with the assistance of Libyan troops, Amin attempted to annex Kagera, the northern province of Tanzania (which shares a border with Uganda). Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere responded by sending troops into Uganda, and with the aid of rebel Ugandan forces they were able to capture the Ugandan capital of Kampala. Amin fled to Libya, where he stayed for almost 10 years before finally relocating to Saudi Arabia. He remained there in exile for the remainder of his life.

Death
On August 16, 2003, Amin died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The cause of death was reported as multiple organ failure. Although the Ugandan government announced that his body could be buried in Uganda, he was quickly buried in Saudi Arabia. Amin was never tried for his gross abuse of human rights.



Legacy
Amin's brutal reign has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and dramatic films, including "Ghosts of Kampala," "The Last King of Scotland," and "General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait." Often depicted in his time as an eccentric buffoon with delusions of grandeur, Amin is now considered one of history's cruelest dictators. Historians believe his regime was responsible for at least 100,000 deaths and possibly many more.

basically, that fixture didn't happen, not yesterday, not at that time


so much for 51 odds

There is no problem.

Welcome to the EPL the most competitive league in the world.

The EPL is not like La Liga Bundesliga where one or two teams have dominated for decades.

ikr?


ain't that why Pool is topping the log with 8 points and the 3rd place with 14 points



Yet,
Liga Santander's 1st and 2nd are tied on points and 3rd is just 3 points away
Bundesliga's 1st and 2nd is just 1 point and 3rd is 5 points away
Serie A's 1st and 2nd is 2 points and 3rd is 5 points away.....


even Farmer's league, Ligue 1 is more competitive than EPL in the "HERE and NOW" with 5 points between 1st and 2nd, and 11 points between 1st and 3rd


but, but, but.......EPL is the most competitive league, where one team is strolling to the title

Samunique:
John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


John 1:29

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

God actually used the nation of Israel as a channel through which He would bless the world. Though He sent many prophets to them ,, but His sole aim was the fulfillment of the Messianic promise which would come through the Abraham's lineage through whom He would reach out to the world to save the fallen human race .

God loves the world !

When He sent His Son, He didn't send Him to save only the middle easterners only but the whole world, that's why I posted the above scriptures.

2. I will agree with you that the middle easter has played significant roles in human history and religion, but bear it in mind that the Bible says , God always does things according to the counsel of his own will. And I do not think that God discremnate against the rest of the world by only raising the prophets from the middle east since He always includes them (the whole world) in His plan.

The Bible says, for God so loved the world!

Even the Muslims believe Muhammad was sent to the world ( I'm not a Muslim and I do not believe in Muhammad ). You can see that the two largest faiths still believe God is reaching out to the world through them.

Remember, when God called Abraham out in Gen 12 , He said that the whole world, not only his lineage, will be blessed through his seed .

So let us conclude that, God reached out to the world through Abraham, from the middle east, Mesopotamia, to save and bless the world.

Yeah, i'm an Abrahamic believer too. But you still haven't answered the question. Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Joseph, Jacob, Samuel etc, were all sent to their people. I have no problem with that honestly. Even though i believe, God in his benevolence could have extended that magnanimity to other nations. The Americas, North and South that is, The Blacks, and even the Far Easterners. They were neglected and don't deserve a "messenger from God?"


Okay, fine. Yet, Jesus and Muhammad who were supposedly sent to the World, still came from the same Middle East. That's some huge neglect. As though the World were only in the Middle East. That's a lingering question i can't find an answer to yet.


@the bolded, yes, he sent Jesus, but to the Middle Easterners, same way his forefathers have been, Middle East.

charlesemeka85:
Nigerian youngster Samuel Chukwueze has missed out on the Kopa 2019 Trophy, awarded to the best player under the age of 21 by France Football.

At the annual Ballon d'Or ceremony held at at the Theatre du Chatelet, Paris on Monday night, Juventus central defender Matthijs de Ligt won the coveted prize now in its second edition.

A Netherlands international, de Ligt takes over from PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé as the winner of Kopa Trophy.

Chukwueze was on a ten-man shortlist along with Matthijs de Ligt, Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Kai Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen), Lee Kang-in (Valencia), Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), Mattéo Guendouzi (Arsenal), Moise Kean (Everton), and Andreï Lounine (Real Valladolid).

The Diamond Academy product broke into the Villarreal first team last season and helped them avoid relegation by scoring 5 goals in 26 appearances in La Liga.

Chukwueze represented Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and became the youngest player to score in the competition after finding the net against South Africa.

The Kopa Trophy was named after Raymond Kopa, who was the first French footballer to win the Golden Ball.

I'm still wondering why Chucks wasn't invited though. He was a nominee, even if he wasn't going to win, courtesy demanded he be invited.




I don't want to believe he was invited and he bunked it

Now, I've been wondering for a long while. This has nothing to d with Islam or Christianity. Its rather a question to all of them.


Why are all their Prophets from the beginning to the end all from the present day Middle East?


Whatever happened to other parts of the World?
Asia?
Africa?
Americas?
Europe?



Why did God consistently and repeatedly kept sending Prophets from one region from the beginning of time, given how large the earth was.


The remaining places on earth don't deserve to have their own messenger?


Prophets before Jesus were all sent to "their people", which still is Middle East, yet, even the Jesus and Muhammad that are supposedly sent to "the World at large" still came from the same Middle East.

Why??


i'm just confused

ThisisIkemefuna:
Kindly explain

that Feyenoord would win with rangers not scoring.


1-0
2-0
3-0 etc



only scoreline that can cast it.

even 0-0 is a won bet

ThisisIkemefuna:
Win to nil means Rangers won't score a single goal, are you sure?

no, thats not what it means
