Gyokeres 2 goal scoring chances in his last 2 games
These chances are like sitter but were missed

.
The manager should give him confidence.
Thank God Harvetz has recovered.
He needs to use everyone at his disposal.

Saka also missed some "sitters" that he will usually bury.

He obviously needs a rest, carrying a knock or the new contract has entered his head.
His gf better talk sense to his head ....football career can be short. The more you deliver the more a coach will have U in mind even if U get older. That's what's KDB is enjoying from him Man city days now at Napoli.
A KDB at any age will always be an asset.

Last 2 games 4 goals.
2 on international duty
2 in last Napoli match

iamoyindamola:
Nasri and koscieny no suppose they

.
Kos had nothing wrong except he wanted to go back to his boyhood club.
And that was even at and old age.
Kos is fine.
Only Adebayor and RVP.
I really have an issue with .I can still take Adebayor sef...he went everywhere. Spurs, city🤣Real Madrid etc

How did Calafiori find himself in that position yet he's a defender 🤔 pic.twitter.com/7sKFYAaXSd

Look at that finishing bro 😲

Are U sure he is a left back? That's an elite right foot finish for a left defender

If you believe they will give more than 2.5M to each family.
You can believe anything .

Anyway...,some people will be working

Arteta is building a system especially suited for EPL.
because EPL teams have a way once they are playing a top side knowing the talent differential.

In that system, you need to have a good first touch and a team player mentality.
Also because we try to dominate the game and we need to position and reposition players to control the game.
To do that U need to have ball passing abilities first touch and ofcosurs your own flair.
Also U need to do defensive work to shut out times the opponents might get when the team do their flow of being unpredictable.
In the Euro national league the low block setup are not often the mangerial system of playing.
And strikers will have opportunities.
Gykores first touch need to improve.

To say arteta doesn't improve player is not true.
It just depends on the team set-up.
Timber
Saka
Saliba
White
And even Lewis Smelly have improved.
(Know that Arteta is adverse on using his second best player for a position in big games. Maybe frim his managerial experience.
The only thing I can say maybe to to manage the players confidence (given him game time).
Unfortunately the EPL is brutal and any slip up can cost a game
Besides the little time he tried Gykores,he hadn't redeemed himself.
There are some open games that Gykores will flourish but sometimes it has to be seen within the game if that game is open before they can introduce him in.
Let's not forget Odegard was poor last season, yet we know the talent is there and we can attribute that to injury.
I hope U know it's was Arteta that moved Saka from left wing to right wing after Saka started at left back under Unai Emery

COMPAQ:
As the euphoria of winning the election to the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria slowly fades, the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must now grapple with arguably the biggest sector requiring attention beyond security – the economy!

It is now obvious to Nigerians, that the government of ex-president Buhari led Nigeria down the proverbial financial rabbit hole. His old school socialist style of governance proved hopelessly out of tune for the financial realities of modern-day Nigeria. A lack of vision & political will, refusal to listen to sound economic counsel, reckless spending on dodgy intervention programs, an arbitrage driven foreign exchange management system and so much more have contributed to severely damaging the economic foundation of Nigeria. Inflation has spiraled out of control and the currency has been forced to devalue, sparking another round of inflation, considering the bulk of what we consume is imported. The fallout of this is that Nigerians have all become poorer. And the rich are not left out! Even Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has seen his net worth in dollars tumble.

The question though, is how do we proceed from here? No doubt, there are many strategies being considered to get Nigeria moving again. And Nigeria’s solution will not be just one of them, but likely a combination of many of them. However, one train of thought which I have not heard discussed much is the rejuvenating of the middle class!
The key metric for measuring economic power and size is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – emphasis on the word ‘product’. Basically, it is the total of what a country produces. Production could be for domestic consumption and/or for export. Herein lies the problem. Nigeria’s population is so poverty stricken that producers in this country struggle to sell their products because the people have extremely limited capacity to purchase. Our much-hyped 200+mln population is therefore not adding anywhere as much to the GDP of the country as it should.

The Nigerian middle class has been so decimated that we now only have the very rich and a horde of low class, with just a sprinkling of middle class. Unfortunately, the very rich cannot carry this economy. How much produce will they buy and consume? A billionaire in dollars will only buy so many cars and houses. He can eat only so much food and wear so many clothes. It would be far better for the Nigerian economy to have one million millionaires, than to have ten thousand billionaires. If one million people were to buy 2 cars, that would be 2million cars sold. If ten thousand people buy 10 cars, that’s only one hundred thousand cars sold. Ditto for products such as refrigerators, washing machines television sets, phones, computers etc.

If the people to buy these products are available in sufficient number, then it makes sense for the factories that produce them to be based locally. If the factories establish in Nigeria, they bring FDI and jobs with them – both direct and indirect. The FDI improves forex supply and helps to stabilize the currency, while the spending of the wages earned by the employed grows the economy! The reality is that manufacturing only makes sense when it is done at sufficient scale. To compete with China, India and other global manufacturing hubs, factories in Nigeria will have to operate at an equivalent scale. And what better market to manufacture for than a country of 200+ million people, having a middle class with good purchasing power running into the millions. There is no point in Samsung setting up a factory locally, if only 5,000 Nigerians can afford to buy a new smartphone every year. They might as well import from Korea. However, if the demand was 5 million units a year, then the narrative would be different. Even if they had no intention of setting up a plant in Nigeria, the government would have a strong basis for encouraging them to do so, as the market would be simply too big to ignore.

Have we seen this phenomenon of a rejuvenated middle class carrying the economy forward play out in Nigeria before? The answer is yes! In the mid/late 90’s and early 2000’s, the government liberalized banking, hotels and telecoms. Dozens of new banks, MTN and Econet (now Airtel) spurred massive investment in the country. Banks were building new branches like a wildfire burning out of control! And with that came direct jobs for tens of thousands of bankers as well as indirect jobs for hundreds of thousands of people. In the telecoms space, the story was similar. MTN, Econet and eventually Globacom drove massive amounts of FDI into the country and created numerous well-paying direct middle class jobs and many more indirect ones. Think the companies suppling generating sets for thousands of base stations! The companies supplying diesel to those base stations! The companies contracted to build the base stations! The companies supplying the paper recharge vouchers! And many more! Even at the ultra-micro level, we had the phone center operators, those selling recharge cards on the streets, sellers of handsets etc. It is no coincidence that this era brought along with it the highest levels of GDP growth that Nigeria had seen in a generation. Unfortunately, this once thriving middle class, and its attendant purchasing power, has been whittled down by banking consolidation, casualization of workers, inflation and devaluation, which has made incomes worth a lot less than they used to be. So how do we begin to get back to those hey days?

In my view, the quickest way to address this in the short term is simply to pay civil servants and other government workers such as doctors, teachers and nurses a respectable wage that qualifies as a middle-income salary. Having said that, the reality is that our civil service is over bloated. However, using my earlier analogy, it makes more economic sense for the federal civil service to have half as many people who are paid twice as much! The current arrangement where we employ millions of people but pay them peanuts is not helping the national economy. None of them can buy anything tangible! Asides the fact that these people have insufficient money to spend, because their wages are so low, their level of productivity is abysmal. They simple have no stake in the work that they do, as they must focus their time and energy on other ways to make money.

The second, and more long term and structured way, is to allow the private sector to run this economy and significantly reduce the hand of the government. If we were to privatize/concession our international airports, Nigerian Railway Corporation, concession key inter-state highways to private companies to toll and manage, create another LNG company, enable private sector development of solar farms etc, we will be creating new companies that will drive FDI into the country and employ staff to run them with better wages that what currently obtains.

To achieve the national economic growth that President Tinubu appears to seek, we urgently need to re-energize the middle class. Nigeria’s socialist attempts to grow the economy from the center with public sector intervention spending that is not backed by any form of production or gains in productivity has had damaging effects on our economy. Its time we focus on a people led approach backed by the private sector, so that more Nigerians have more money to spend. By so doing, we create a large enough middle class that attracts the local and foreign investment in the production of goods and services that Nigerians require, and the economy grows as a result.

This should have been the thinking of the economic team of this administration.
In fact they were supposed to start with an economic think thank team.
But alas see as the middle class is eroded.

From October 1 prices will reduce by 10.naira?
And you rolled 35 buses for the whole of Lagos and this will reduce transport cost or mad rush into the bus to further damage the template boss via overloading as you did for BRT buses .
Pls.is this how to reduce price

It is well.

Thiefobi1:
The fraud took $30m of anambra state money, invest it in brewery.

The company gave him 15% bonus which he in turn gave the state 10% and took 5% for his family.

Nigerians what do we call that.

.
Assuming this is true.
If the $30m investment still belong to the state. The 10% bonus was also given to the state.
How is 5% of the bonus (not pure profit).
being given him a problem.

He's not holy mary.

Go and look at other governors how they just loot their state dry.

Pls we are asking for people who love the state more than themselves not "saint"

This is not how to build a strong nation

Obi said 2bn.
This one said he didn't see 12 bn.
Nonsense and Obi

To what end.
You said Nigerians.

Microphone syndromes..


Will you give everyone firearm after that training.
You better talk something else.

Well for me ,
I don't see how's he's gonna do that
But whatever
He's in d same party as the incumbent.
He's free to say whatever

Fkforyou:
If you want win league, make sure you beat these clubs atleast once wether home or away.

If league management want wicked you, make them make am early kick off game.

If them arrange any three in a row for you .....even Apari go drop point.
Make we win dem for first meeting anyhow.(B4 Aston villa na also tough place but dem don oversell all their good players)

Chelsea chop yesterday....na man city I dey wait for

germaphobe:
they're not so happy that the team once associated with mediocre is now the template for success. We went from celebrating draws and one goal margin losses to having meltdown about conceding 2 goals in a match we scored 4. It took Arteta 3 seasons to revitalise the team from 11th position to top 2. They know what they were doing all along, that's why they always push narratives that they know would unsettle the fan base. Everyone of them knows what it is to finish top 2 thrice in a row for a rookie coach and now they're scared of what would happen now that we have overcome a huge mentality block by winning the league and still getting to two finals.

Going toe to toe with arguably the best manager of this era in a 2 legged race for 3 seasons before overcoming him last season that made him to finally quit the EPL.
If Apari was called "mad "
This one is called " mental "

Arteta no send for thrashing team 5-0.
That's was arsenal's arsenal Wenger flavour of the past.
Thrash Everton 5-0 but loose to stoke or Bolton by 1 nil.

Arteta is just and only concerned about winning a game. That's all.

If we thrash fine
If we have to beat by 1 nil...then that's what he will do.

We thanks the God's answer Spirit that that is what they have helped us do.
Anything to win is all we care about irrespective of PGMOL or FA tactics

mostob:
3 clean sheets in four games.
Anywhere person talk say na defence dey help Raya, make una gather beat the person.

Hshahahahahhahaja.


U funny die.
Raya na keeper.
Omo we go need to get a younger version in 5 years rime

That's why I have been saying that injury can change the way a player's plays until he's fully healed.
If to say white is getting enough rest and fully healed.
U will want him to start overtime.
Timber is a better defender oh. But white decoy and his understanding with Saka is on another level

johnjunior39:
Especially Rice. I was expecting Arteta to sub him early yesterday, we cant burn him out. That midfield is so blessed at the moment, I love what Bruno is giving us every match, lets not talk about Skelly and even Zubi is doing great so far. My most concern actually is White, if he get injured now it will be so bad at the moment.

White was limping after the match

Saka and Rice needs rest.

Both of them cut their rest to join the club for community shield.
They did not fully get the rest due them.
Madueke suppose up his game.
Him, Eze, VG(even with limited playing time),
Eze is a bit peculiar coz I think he was showing promise in the 10 role except that he doesn't stamp his presence in games when we (need) are looking for a win.

BlueRayDick:
Dem see Konsa wear Timberland on his unveiling, shey dem no supposed Don fear say na senior men duties he dey come execute for Arsenal?

ROFL.....LOL......
When Saliba and Timber comes back.
Even FA cup we go use senior men execute.
Make dem try white for free roaming once a while the others don set

The brain of some people seems not to work once they are given power and mic to talk.
I hope he can practice what he preach for 30 years of marriage every single time consent.

Hightablevoice2:
While I do agree with your assessment of Asians as being very lenient and much so a very good partner in my experience it is almost a necessity type of situation. And most of the time a symbiotic and an opportunity sort of relationship. Particularly for them. An Asian lady who is plus 35years of age is already considered old in their culture and in that spirit will likely settle in one way or the other. Especially Chinese. You will hardly see a 24 year old Asian dating or having a serious relationship with any race besides white, let alone black and even Nigerian at that. it just doesn't happen. Even when it does, it is extremely rare. Latinos on the other hand, I have never had any experience with them, but from afar you can tell how intense they can be.

Now as for our own Nigerian ladies. I actually find it more appealing to date a Nigerian lady in diaspora that's if that should be the case. And I will give you my reasons.

First, an average Nigerian lady in diaspora is a completely independent person. Reasonably, that is a solid ground for raising children and a stable family. As she is also a contributory body to the future of the family, when and if God calls the man first.

Second, Nigerian ladies in diaspora are usually well grounded and have a strong attachment to their roots(morally). To speak unbiasedly it is mostly men that adopt the lifestyle of the foreigners whenever they crossover.. The women on other hand stay grounded, have stable communication with people back home and surround themselves mostly with their fellow Nigerians.

Now third and most important, a Nigerian lady knows being in a foreign land is mostly an opportunity and they will use every bit of their capability and capacity to attain what they actually came for. Be it growth, opportunity, establishment and so forth. As a man, stability matters in building for long term purposes. And this trait most Nigerian ladies share that with the men.

Now the major difference is character. This is where I feel some Nigerian ladies in diaspora are lagging behind.

As a man, you can see and control 100 million naira in your account without breaking a sweat even with the pressure it attracts, but let a Nigerian woman have just 10-20% of that by herself in her account, you will be tip toeing around her no matter how much richer you actually are than she is. Which is where that independence is a gift and a curse to them at the same time.

Conclusively, I will still say I'd very much prefer a Nigerian. However mind you, I am not talking about ladies that came through madam stuffs, no offense to anyone but I mean an average industrious Nigerian lady will be more appealing to me any day any time. She doesn't have to be in educated class even if that is a plus on it's own, however more importantly so long she understands and still keep the regard and regale of what being a Nigerian in diaspora is all about, they are a great choice.

Oyibo wife na only she you marry. Half her family member sees you as a tale of caution. In Yoruba we say, you can marry a bad wife, but you should be more wary of being mixed with unsatisfiable inlaws.

Your Nigerian lady with attitude can still be cautioned by her parents and family regardless of how much abundance of resources she has surrounding her. Oyibo wife with a Nigerian man, no get who deh follow ham talk. Many Nigerian men have fallen from grace just by one mistake with a foreign wife, while many are already on the verge of that catastrophe.

This is just my own personal preference and opinion.

Hahaha
Oyinbo is a no no.
But there are some counties that their culture is still a bit preserved like Norway, Holland very few.
As for Nigerian lady, na this era this their Rogbodiyan started.
Before u could go to village and pick a decent one.
God will help the men of today sha.
I don't envy them at all.

LOL


I read and laughed

I think from the little I know

Culturally Asian are good but some Asian countries or communities also have racial tendencies

Ethiopian, Estonia and those Scandinavian countries also have some very good one especially not those woke ones

Don't let them gaslight you.
This is an advert for the people coming after you.
No one will do this normally.
Not under a present condition.
When rent increase you will soon know

Just know that nothing is free even in free town.

You think the ex depot price will not increase after some time?

Let them use this one to win election,
You will know how far.

I will advise we stay off Alvarez.
Any deal being delayed due to player and his club standoff.. doesn't usually end well especially one that stays for aong period
This is because it messes up the mind of the player.
