Leyqute:
Agreed.

However, we don’t have the personnel to effectively execute that formation. It requires the full backs to provide width and we know how poor AWB and Shaw are in that area.

Apart from refusing to venture forward, they hardly create good chances when they go forward. Pogba can hardly cover for his FB but he’s trying.

I think switching formations during games will help both the players and manager improve. 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 5-3-2.

Fixed.

Na this thing fit cause fight.

Lolz...u missed d right address here,,,abeg take it and deliver it to d government,, they are d actual people to see it

Both government and its officials(those that hoarded palliatives) and those that looted private businesses, homes and government institutions are all in the same WhatsApp group of wickedness on this particular issue.

One doesn’t justify the other.

Segedinho:
Yup in Benin

But not extorting,was packed on their normal bus with their vests but this time"sars wasnt inscripted

So you saw police inside bus and automatically assume they are Sars? I don’t understand.

Segedinho:
You can't tell that to someone who is dying n have looting as the best way to live.

No body here is justifying looting....But when you fail ur followers and push them to the extreme.then it becomes a hunger game.

A fight to survive....

If we all choose the way of thuggery...no body including the gov would actually be alive.

Do u know SARS are still working till today?

You have seen SARS working?

EarlRagnar2:
How did those peaceful protesters at lekki toll gate tackled Federal government
You're heartless,but I'm not surprised like femi your elder brother you don sell your conscience for pot of porridge.

You are just a toddler in an adult baby.

Go back to school and ask for refund from whichever glorified primary school you graduated from.

If you think election in nigeria is the only way to shame the government of their bad governance, ineptitude, corruption,extra judicial killings, impoverishing the masses then you are shame to your children and grandchildren unborn..Lebanon,Thailand and Belarus have been protesting for months,they should have waited for election time

When your grandchildren come of age and they are still shouting UP NEPA,they are harassed,profiled and brutalized by soldiers and police,lose 2years due to ASUU strike tell them the role you played in this

YEYE DEY SMELL,APC CLOWNS!!!!.

Peaceful Protest is the right of every citizen (At least in a democracy). I don’t think I have said anyone shouldn’t protest.

Protesting is a strategy to get the government attention, what happens after that?

There are 2 ways to remove an elected executive from power, it is either through the ballot or through impeachment. The other option “resigning” is at the discretion of the politician. Protest from now till next year, a politician that doesn’t want to resign won’t resign.

There are 2 ways also to remove an elected lawmaker, either through the ballot or the recall process. It’s important to note that even after the recall process, you still have to vote for another representatives.

If I have to start telling you the process of how things are done in a democracy, I’m sorry we shouldn’t even be having this discussion.

Segedinho:
Most times you are always forced to quote some posts here even when you don't want to.

Who doesnt know how bad looting is?

But on the other had lootings and other crimes are inevitable when the gov fails woefully.

Larride neva hungry for 5days straight maybe that is why.

To worsen the case; Desmond Idiot was busy throwing jibes without even saying a tin about the potential cause.

The other foools says hungry men are high on cheap drugs even after stealing and sharing their foods on her birthday..

One wrong does not invalidate the other wrong.

If everyone that is hungry decides to start looting, you won’t have a phone to type what you are typing right now.

Nikiballer:
Check the 5 for 5,if what they demanded was too much for a genuine govt to swing into action to start doing....

Don't even compare the two,one was POLITICAL AND HAS A REVOLUTION UNDERTONE FROM AN OPPOSITION FOR THEIR SELFISH SELVES while the other was SOCIAL JUSTICE for all Nigerian youths especially,just tell the police to stop killing us and end the brutality,stop the profiling,reform the police and LET US LIVE(which is our fundamental human right)...

If they could use THUGS against PEACEFUL PROTESTERS,why should í and my household risk our lives for a "godfather accredited" candidate from the two loser parties,Abegiii.....

Make Buhari sign electoral act bill,if e sure for him PAPA

If I start to talk how the government has responded to the 5for5 demand now, you will start hearing he’s defending the govt bla bla bla

Quick question: Have you read through the proposed electoral bill?

EarlRagnar2:
I talk am dey tried to take on government head on
Femi adesina wherever you dey no worry another version is ready to take over

I’m sure your little brain didn’t tell you that in a democracy, if a party (candidate) didn’t perform, you vote them out.

If you like continue shouting on social media from now till 2023 and not actively get involved in those that will govern you, you will still come back here to cry after election.

macjireh:
datz 800B,,,if Nigeria govt can't afford dat,,den they should have brainstorm further and come up with a feasible solution,, why did they not bring in d religious bodies...Lagos alone,,I dont know if Lagos has more than 1000 registered churches and mosques put together,,at least 70% of Lagos population will fall into one Church or Mosque...so they should have brought dem in,,by calling dem up to bring statistics of d number of members they have...d Church and Mosques where empty for goodness sake and could have been used as palliative houses instead of d biznes men warehouses...some churches even in their little still had d heart to give to their members and even to communities dat were not their members... if d government worked with d religious bodies at least,, it would have been a better story today...all d blame still goes to d government for acting foolishly

I don’t know about other states but what you just said here is what Lagos State did when they were sharing their palliative though it didn’t go wrong and some did actually truly hoard the palliative.

Lagos State also made use of LCDA and LASSRA number. I’m sure of this because I know quite a number of people that got through LASSRA.

The items that were looted from that mazamaza warehouse were belong to Cacovid who are mostly private individuals and companies.

The same way you didn’t go join other to loot even though you didn’t have enough is the same way everyone that hide under the crisis or disguise of hunger to loot must be condemned. Giving excuses on their behalf is only going to embolden them the more. It’s important to note that they didn’t just loot food items, they loot more than that. This is not about hunger, it’s wickedness.

Nikiballer:
Bad governance was there during GEJ tenure,there was protest and occupy Nigeria in all cities in Lagos even in the hoods,not one shop was looted....Police and soldiers did their work to protect protesters lives and property,even people were shot during occupy Nigeria which was headed majorly by APC STALWARTS,not one police station was burnt..

MY OWN IS IF GOVT WERE SINCERE AND GENUINE,REALLY WANTED TO END SARS,HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE...THIS PROTEST WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUCCESS.....Even though GEJ failed woefully in governance,THAT MAN IS A GOOD MAN, WALAHII.....

Don’t even try to revise history. GEJ send soldiers to Ojota. The only difference was that those that headed the Occupy Nigeria protest knows when to call it off instead of trying to take on the government head on.

Do the same thing APC stalwart did, go and form a political party or rather join one, campaign far and wide and boot APC out of office. It’s as simple as APC.

Just like Desmond Elloit said, get involved in the politics, chose and campaign for who you want and hold them to account. It’s a democracy.

Ibime:
Well, Lekki was not the only protest in town. E sure me die say many of the boys wey protest for Mushin, Agege and other rugged hoods later looted. Lekki does not own Nigeria. Pizza and coffee people cannot save Nigeria alone, nor can they speak for all protesters.

I’m still waiting for him to show where I said it’s protestors in Lekki that are looting.

Nikiballer:
You do realise people who loot palliative are different from thugs/thieves looting private business but go on with your Agenda

How do we know they are different? There are several videos of women, children, youths and even adults looting private businesses all over the country.

If you have contrary evidence, show us.

iamoyindamola:
That's true but larride wan change narrative that protesters that are eating pizza and other better food are the one looting

Kindly point to any of my post where I said this.

macjireh:
all dz shalaye Ko Nessestri,,,,during d lockdown,, ur stewpid government should have used individuals personal account numbers,,at least they said we have 40million bvn holders in Nigeria,, what stopped d government from crediting all doz bvn holders with 10k each for at least April and May...if dat was done we won't be here talking about looted warehouses,, d government should have known dat trying to get physical food items as palliative during d lockdown would be practically impossible but d government will see wisdom on one side and choose to grab foolishness with both hands...there will be another lockdown maybe b4 2023,,if government like let dem do another foolishness of trying to feed d masses with food items instead of crediting our accounts directly,,they should be ready for more protests and looting

10k for April and May = 20,000x40,000,000

Do the math and ask yourself where the money will come from.

sodik check the bolded, this is one of the looters hiding under protest to commit their crime. I really hope the long arm of the law catch you and your ilks.

Zlatan is mad.

iamoyindamola:
Yes I believe the thugs that were paid by politicians to stop the protest are the one looting.
These same thugs have politicians backing took advantage of it by settling scores with police then when the main aim (stop the protest) was achieved. They felt no source of free money again they took advantage of the shooting at lekki to start destroying properties and looting

Na so. Those that were looting all over the country were paid by the government to discredit the EndSars protesters.

Nice logic.

Segedinho:
your defence and analysis would have v been valied if the country we are talking abt isn't Nigeria..

I guess u weren't sleeping when one politician said he was supposed to share the palliatives on his birthday,,,

How do u tackle and spread the good news of Agents fashola n d camera

We understand that looting is extremely bad but who are to blamed??

The #ENDSARS protest was spot on until politicians started smuggling in paid thugs even with video evidences.

How would u v known the truth abt d gov thuggery if not for SM.

I bet you would have taken the NA narratives hook line n sinker if not for SM.

Although the thuggery started almost after the lekki incidence but i can assure u that Nigerians are tired of every lies coupled with the hike of commodities for no reasons.

Desmond is a goat trying to form smart (tru fake passion).

What has he done for his constituency aside commissioning of toilets n plastic rubbers.

How many of the bleeping Hons spoke abt hungers in the land??

How many spoke abt what a common man is passing true.

One stupid man have the mind to talk abt someone that cannot afford 3 square meal a day is seen eating comfortable during d lootings.


God punish them all

Mr Sanai Agunbiade, whose home was looted of palliative materials he said he was waiting to distribute on his birthday had this to say during a Lagos state house of assembly session 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ https://t.co/JlUlf4nswh

— Naija (@Naija_PR) October 29, 2020

Na so. There’s hunger in the land, let everyone start looting each other.

I hope you keep this energy if they come loot your house.

iamoyindamola:
But he directed it at the youths,influencers and celebrities
Are they the one sponsoring looters, this social media created #endlooting but couldn't trend because they are still interested in #endsars

The idea that someone is somewhere sponsoring criminals and looters to loot private businesses and govt institution is one idea that I still can’t understand.

You sodik, you are born and raised in Nigeria, Do you believe these hoodlums and criminals (Who are Youth by the way) need anyone to sponsor them to loot and cause mayhem?

iamoyindamola:
Bro with the way the protests was going on, can you say the protesters were the one looting or the thugs the so called politicians paid to disrupt the peaceful protests.
Everything is surely wrong with this country but the SM is the least of the problems.
Okay Desmond said " social media influencers, celebrities please stop the hatred already" he's trying to say we should stop calling the politicians out abi what other hatred do we have with the politicians

Did you see the looting of a Walmart store in Philadelphia some days ago?

Will you say those looters were sponsored?

iamoyindamola:
Izzou the lawmaker that said youths are junkies used covid-19 palliative as birthday gift
Would you have know this without SM
https://www.nairaland.com/6216164/mojisola-alli-macauley-used-ca-covid-palliatives
So on like that, if the so called politicians and party men are truly innocent they should not be scared of hate speech or fake news
After we all saw an army officer that said an Instagram live video was Photoshopped
In this same Nigeria snake they swallow millions but social media is everyone headache

It’s actually this woman that said Youth are junkies that deserved all the dragging available in this world.

Meanwhile the woman that said Snake swallowed money was a civil servant working in Neco. She wasn’t even a politician.

Even this issue of Cacovid palliative is one that has been distorted plenty with the govt hoarding palliative. While some local rep/politician might have hoarded the ones given to them to share, it’s not the same with the warehouse broken into.

This palliative narrative started when one warehouse was discovered and looted in Lagos. Funny enough, the warehouse belong to BUA who is a member of Cacovid. Remember that Cacovid is a coalition of private individuals, private companies and the FG. The biggest donation was made by FG and Dangote - 2billion naira each.

Those items were delivered to BUA warehouse in mazamaza in late September and if you check Lagos State Agric handle on Twitter, you will see they actually mentioned they will be rebagging the items that belong to them at the BUA warehouse and they have even started sharing to people as seen on their Twitter timeline. Most of the items looted at that warehouse belongs to Cacovid which they intend to distribute to other states.

That’s how the story of government hoarding palliative started trending on Twitter and before you know different people started dropping different location as venue where COVID palliative as stored (most which turned out to be private business anyways) and that’s how the massive nationwide looting started.

It got so bad that people even looted Psychiatric hospital in Calabar, one even looted signpost in Taraba. What started as “Govt is hoarding palliative” fully denigrated into nationwide looting of both private business and govt institutions. Our own Griffon here is one of the casualties of such.

I remember trying to correct someone here that Tinubu doesn’t own Oriental Hotel and the adult “child” was busy glorying in his misinformation. I’m happy that those looters didn’t visit his house, I wonder how he would’ve felt.

bandely:
Actually, a day before, a certain Dr Olufunmilayo on Twitter posted that Desmond called for Social Media regulation on the Lagos State House of Assembly and also blamed celebrities and social media influencers for the destructions that happened in Lagos. That evening, Demond Elliot released a video, acting all surprised and denied it. He even said Social Media is on the exclusive list, thus a federal government prerogative.

However, on the following day, videos of the discussions on the floor surfaced on the internet, and one of them is Demond's contribution, which is why many are calling for his head now.

He’s still right. Lagos State House of Assembly has no power to regulate Social Media. That can only be done by the National Assembly.

Calling for something to be done to curtail the multitude of fake news that has overtaken our social space is not out of order.

You will be surprised that 70% of those insulting and dragging Desmond hasn’t even watched the said video or listened to what he said but herd mentality.

Here is what ex CEO of google has to said about this issue.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-21/former-google-ceo-calls-social-networks-amplifiers-for-idiots?utm_source=url_link


Just imagine someone saying this in Nigeria and see the faux outrage that will follow on Twitter.

“The context of social networks serving as amplifiers for idiots and crazy people is not what we intended,” Schmidt said at a virtual conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. “Unless the industry gets its act together in a really clever way, there will be regulation.”

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Well, you may be right. But from what I watched, Desmond said the following

1) He called the Hoodlums that looted people's stores children. And to me, they are worse. The damage done by these youths is massive. Do you know what it means to loot a jewelry store, or phone and gadget store to the ground? How is that person supposed to recover from that?

2) He talked about social influencers and the damage the SM is causing. He did not ask for it to be regulated. He said that something should be done about it. We cannot deny the fact that there are cons of the SM. Imagine the fake stories of deaths we saw here. Nobody confirms anything. Once it comes from a popular person, it starts to circulate as the truth

3) He talked about changing Nigeria for the better through the elections. How many influencers are spending time to educate the people on getting their PVCs? How many are trying to make efforts to ensure that the uneducated in the society know the dangers of selling their vote in 2023

Bros, the protest did send a strong message to the government, but it went about the wrong way. There was no plan, and there was no leader.

Instead of every musician and influencer passing his own message on SM, they can team up and support a clear cut plan. We cannot be fighting for a better Nigeria, and still be fighting for those that are spoiling it

There are no government buses currently working, for fear of being attacked. Roads are blocked because policemen are scared of being attacked.

Like I said, maybe I didn't understand him clearly, but I haven't found any reason to see him get roasted[/color]

The major reason is because he called them children.

If Arsenal will go the usual 3 at the back. I will prefer Cavani to lead the line.


Wait I thought Everton is our next match?

airmark:
Not camera he is even a bit taller than Cech.

The difference in body stature between him and Kepa is so glaring.

airmark:
Who dey?

This guy is huge or is it the camera?

Maybe Martial need to go back to the LWF.

Oasis007:
Fred is always an unsung Hero...... Why?!

E shock you?

5-0


What a night.


Big ups to Ole and the boys. The second half was really good and the sub were on point.

More of this going forward pls.

Rashford hattrick.

SyIvalord:
Patrickmufc, Do you still think Julian is better than Ole?

Julian is a better manager than Ole.

We have better players than Leipzig and that’s the difference here today. The difference between our players is clear as day.

That would have been a sweet hattrick
