Just seeing that FG even borrowed $1bn for the 20% six months ago..How did they not meet up with the stake acquisition?..

Lmao.. These niggas bleeped it up and didn't expect Dangote to call them out😁

BlueRayDick:
These are the kind of questions Tinubu should be asking Mele Kyari.

One of Mele kyari or Buhari should be in jail now. Mele Kyari was the NNPC boss and Buhari was the president/minister of Petroleum whom Kyari reports directly to.

Lmaoooo

Tinubu should be asking?
The Petroleum minister isn't aware the NNPC was looking for 1billion dollars to fund their 20% stake?

BlueRayDick:
Nobody is blaming Dangote .

1.Dangote has been requesting for Monopoly for his company as far back as 2021. I shared a screenshot of major marketers opposing that request since 2021.
Dangote still made the same request earlier this year and he was denied .

2. Now he goes to the media throwing tantrums about how he’s being frustrated by FG and its agency . The same agency that made FX available to him while other companies were bearing the brunt.

3. The FG comes out to provide clarifications that they won’t give him his desired monopoly because as it stands his diesel has has not yet gotten to the normal standard they are expected to be; but they don’t have an issue with that. Why ? Because they know he will get the right quality when everything is finally set in his refinery .

It is u people that are reading the wrong meanings into what the agency said about his product .

4.Dangote will be alright las las . But he’s definitely not getting any yeye monopoly. That was how Otedola that was almost broke turned sudden billionaire due to Zenon oil monopoly that year.

Remove the monopoly aspect and look at the agreement made in general.
Which part has FG been able to meet up with?
Oil supply which likely makes up the 13% has not been met.

There is propaganda and there is action.
Dangote knows it is not propaganda they use in running a refinery. Let's not forget him and the president have been having issues since it was obvious who Dangote supported during the elections.

This statement by that agency is just twisting facts which industry people are debunking.
Whether the FG was expecting Dangote to cover their yansh (because they gave him concessions when setting up the company) forgetting the O&G industry is brutal.

OasisX:
....Dangote should forget bickering and rather come up clean. If the Refinery truely ain't ready for production, he should let us know.

When I listened to his speech just of recent, I know there is fire on the mountain. Some of us had the belief that his products will crash current prices and bring relieves but seem we are being fooled.

He said imported products are usually cheaper, hence [even though he didn't say directly] we shouldn't be expecting cheaper prices for his products.

He played a whole country through the former President. You got your fx at subsidized rate yet you still wanna monopolize the market?! I hope Mele Kyari ain't fooling us with PH Refineries too. Sabotage or no Sabotage, August shouldn't turn December or another year.

Lmaooo.. Have you guys moved from blaming farmers to now blaming Dangote?
Because your FG couldn't keep up their own end of the bargain and he called you guys out😁

This is a summary of the issue apparently.
But I expect counter arguments and will accept it if it makes sense.

.

BlueRayDick:
Not really. When they say inferior, they don't mean the diesel is unusable.

There's enough market for his product

You are informed, so you understand that inferior isn't as bad.
Now the common man will see that news and just agree Dangote's diesel is actually bad bad.

larride:
FG and Labour agree on 70k minimum wage.

Lmaooo I will wait till labour confirms the the insults will follow👌

larride:
It's one thing that surprised me in Ebonyi also. Their woman dey hustle like say tomorrow no dey. You go see grown men for beer parlour in the morning while the beer parlour go dey blare music non stop. Come see women dey pack muscles. Maybe its particular to the LG I was in but mehn that shit was very surprising.

I honestly don't get the mentality.
Even the oil bunkering work, those women dey run am with the men.
Na just muscle and guns make the men dey chance the women sef.

GloriousGbola:
There has been an exodus of companies and workers from pH to lagos because of violence. Has Ph economy shrunk or grown over the past 10 years?

We settle community in lagos as well. Settle once and you are done. Is that the case in pH?

Work in the ND as a foreigner and you are constantly in a state of paranoia. A guy on our team who was enforcing standards was set up and almost burnt alive. You actually expect to be kidnapped as a rite of passage.

You heard the statement here - them no dey sack indigene. On this platform guys from pH have chided the rest of us for being sissies.



We were doing csr for a school. No male teacher in sight. But we passed a lot of guys sitting round drinking on our way to the school.

It's a real issue.
If you've been to delta state, I know of urhobo men having this issue most times.
The complaints from the women dey sad

izzou:
[color=royalblue]People hustle everywhere. Na the same thing over and over.

I have been to Rivers state couple of times, and nobody don carry machete come obtain me.
That's not a true picture of how their communities look.

Abi cultism no rampant for Lagos or Ogun state, or even Anambra?
[/color]

I'm not referring to the violence part.
Nothing concern with that one.
But for the hustle part, it's arguable if you live in the ND.

BlueRayDick:
Make una Abiru that was a bank MD until yesterday, see wetin he Dey support . 🤷‍♂️

So it is the bank that must use finance new minimum wage and Lagos-Calabar coastal road project from their profit ba?

When banks start moving mad and start transferring this to their corporate and individual customers now, we will be blaming banks .

It is forbidden for these useless lawmakers to take pay cut to contribute to naija development , instead it is the bank and its customers that must sacrifice . 🤦‍♂️

https://www.nairaland.com/8157178/senate-welcomes-tinubus-requests-adjust

Summary of what happened.

The question is will the banks declare profits next time or look for a way to hide it.
And I wonder how we hope to convince businessmen to invest if you are saying you can come after profits or stop shareholders from being paid..

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Which kind stereotyping be this? [/color]

Omo ND women dey hustle bro.
I don't know how it got that way but some of the men are lazy and leave responsibilities for the women

What data did you show me? You showed me a whoscored rating. I told you it was a waste of my time because I could show you other ratings that will contradict exactly what whoscored posted. I did same yet you are crying foul.

For example, whoscored penalizes the receiving player even if the pass was bad. So if Declan Rice overhits a ball to Foden, it will be recorded as a lost possession on Foden not on Declan Rice. Imagine someone telling me that Rice had 100% passing accuracy in a game when I watched him pass the ball wrongly. This is a hypothetical.

Another e.g, Whoscored slaps metrics to players for attempting shots. So a player can have a horrible game, but if he attempted multiple shots, his rating may show 7.1 even though his performance was poor.

Whoscored attributes numbers to "assists" and goals. Saka got an assist for Jude's goal yet the deflection is the only reason the ball got to Jude. Saka will have an added value to his rating even if he was poor in that particular game. Jude needed that clutch goal against Slovakia to be MOTM and have the high rating he did. We all watched the game. You can even scroll to the comments here on NL and you'd see people piling on him and lamenting about how poor he was as a 10.

I do remember you trying to claim he had duels and what not and when I asked if 10's are rated based on duels won and defensive tackles put in, I never got a response. Funny Southgate did not remember all these when he was assigning Foden to mark Rodri.

Rafael Van Der Vaart played for RM. See his opinion on Jude: Majority of the comments under this post re-echoed same. We all have eyes.

My brother.
The same jude slander has been generating waves even on twitter.
If you slandered jude during the euros, you'd be a crowd favourite because people felt his pr was too much for him.

It had nothing to do with his game play.
Did jude have the best tournament by his standards, hell no.

But was jude the best English player at the euros, hell yes.
The games you have pointed out for foden, you have not shown us data to back up your claims in those games.
It's the same subjective talk about he is the best.
We all watched the game and there is no way in hell foden was better especially in that Netherlands game.
Don't mistake hustle play for productive play.
There's a difference.
Because of foden, jude was stationed at the left and yet he still delivered an assist even in the final.
So again.
While your opinion is subjective, I come to you with facts backed by data🙏.

iamoyindamola:
Shebi na una wan japa
Shey una no go compensate FG for helping ni
This country you just have to be thinking why a f how did we get here like seriously

So between this and the citizens, who dey damage the image of the country?

Do you understand how terrible this is?
Like imagine this situation from the POV of the UAE

Ellexy:
David Hundeyin vindicated once again.

So Nigerian government really wanted to scam Nigerian on top this Dubai matter, later they'll say the citizens are demarketing the country. EFCC won't go after FG now but they'll be disturbing young boys and girls

What the actual fvck?

You have to follow the gist

Colson:
LoL!!! Na inferiority complex dey worry you

Lmao e nor get the thing wey go make inferiority complex do me.

Say you nor get self worth nor mean say others go dey poor in attitude like you

BlueRayDick:
I fear who no fear you o! 😮

This ur talk/agenda against Messi no gel at all.

In football there are so many separators songs that are coined together to troll opponents which fans usually sing . At least I know in the past there used to be one song “ 🎶 when Nigeria beat Brazil, when Nigeria beat Brazil o…. Ronaldo come Dey cry , when Nigeria beat Brazil 🎶 “

Songs like this are popular among fans and players know it too word for word , but out of respect for their opponents they won’t sing it on camera . I know u will say the particular song the Argentines sang was way more derogatory than the one I referenced above, but I’m just letting u know that is is possible the players know the song without having to sing it in Messi’s presence .

You were wrong to put the responsibility of of the players’ action on Messi who is nowhere near where the song was sang. Messi in the past has cautioned his teammates from singing a derogatory song mocking Brazil . So to me it appears u just want to find a way to drag Messi inside wetin no concern am. Messi does not have a baby monitor installed on the team’s bus that he’s checking the players’ behavior from.

U can take up ur vexation against the Argentine players in the video, but dragging Messi into it no be am at all.

Lmaoooo.

Like I said, once it's a fav. We dey defend.

As far as Messi nor dey the video, God Don save am.

It's like a white man being around black Americans and referring to them as "you people".

Loool.. But again we will defend that if the white man is your fav😁

jpmoriarti:
I agree 100% with you. I don't see how the song is racist. what it means now is any mention of Africa or African country is already seen as racism.
Everyone knows that lots of French players came from Africa. How is saying or singing it racism? Maybe you can argue that the jab was in bad taste but saying it is racism is a stretch.

Lmao.
It's the same way in this country if you describe someone today by calling them omo ibo or even saying you are ibo as against igbo it's an issue.

If you can understand the contexts applied to tribalism especially with words, then this should not be difficult for you to accept.

But alas fans will always fans.

People defended the fans that insulted vinicius and even blamed him that he was provocative. 😁

Carry on

Android17:
Dude. Stats can be subjectively interpreted. That's why they require interpretation. If your Smellingham was playing as well as your whoscored was telling you, he would have been in the TOTT, right? I did not even spend more than 5 mins to find this with my first search. LOL.

That is a user rating.
Users meaning fans chose foden.
It is the same users that picked walker.

You have not yet shown me stats to support your claim that foden was the best player in both games.

He didn't score or even give an assist
He didn't have any key pass.
His defensive contributions was one of the worst probably the only person worse than him was kane (defensive contribution)

All this I can back up with data.
You've still not done that with yours.
Everything is still subjective about your opinion.

If we argue Ronaldo vs Messi, you'd Stat bring data to back up your claim.
But it seems this is all too difficult for you.

Imagine using ratings of fans like you to make my point.

Android17:
This Rodri?

Yes that rodri.

Now do you have any evidence or are you going to keep posting subjective quotes.

😁

Android17:
Are you saying England did not win because Foden did not score? I want to see you contradict yourself now.

Don't worry about system player. Rodri was called that too. Then they moved him to DM and Spain became good again. Funny how that happened.

Funny how rodri was hooked at half time after getting destroyed by Bellingham and Spain actually scored immediately and went on to win.

It's the same way we thought Pedri was all that important till olmo came in and showed the lack of importance 😁

Android17:
Are you asking for my own carefully selected links and screen grabs showing Foden highest rated or multiple articles of pundits saying same? Be specific. So you'll see why your screenshots are futile. Remember Kyle Freaking Walker made TOTT with his 4/10 ratings according to many sites in many games. LOL

I am asking you for your own sites with detailed ratings.

I have mine.
Show us yours to back up your claim that foden was the best player in both games you mentioned.

Android17:
You can add further details to what?

I couldn't care any less about rubbish ratings. Ratings that slaps arbitrary values to different facets many of which don't even make any sense. The other day someone said Foden lost possession 19 times and when I asked how that was possible with 93% passing accuracy, the story changed.

I can bring other useless ratings that will contradict what you have above. I'm sure you've seen them. Don't waste anybody's time. Kyle Walker is in the team of the tournament ffs.

Choosing the best players can be subjective if there's no performance data to back up that.


What is the evidence you have for your claim that nobody was better than foden in both games?

Android17:
Scoring =/= impacting a game. Do you agree? A player can impact a game without scoring.

The argument against Foden is that he did not impact the games because he did not have any goals or assists. I'm saying the same arguments should be extended to any other player in the team except the actual role assigned to the player challenges that.

Saka scored as a RW. Palmer as an AM. The only 2 games Foden played as an AM were Switzerland and Netherlands. He did not score or assist but no player on both teams was better than him especially in the latter.

This is foden vs the teams.

I can add further details to this if you want

oliverano:
Very well then...

Thank you🙏

Singapore1:
I think he got caught up in the Euphoria. i am sure he is regretting already

Taaah.
I hate when people do this.


Sometimes learn to accept people for who they are.
The nation is already known as a racist place, Enzo has shown you with his own hand.

Why must you create your own excuse because of some attachment?

hensben:
Okay

Thank you for the opportunity to lecture you as usual

oliverano:
Nothing like insult. Kyle Walker is as good. Cava edges him in the cabinet department.

There is no planet that walker is as good as carvajal.
Not in defending.
Not in attacking.
Not in big moments.

There is nothing.

The only thing walker has is speed and na there e end.

It's like comparing a bugatti with a power bike just because the bike is fast.
