Dangote is not selling shit.

I was astonished to hear that some people think and believe that Aliko Dangote would sell his refinery, which took him almost seven years to build. He's not selling it, even if he's offered twice the amount he invested in building it, he will not sell it.

richiemcgold:
The Lekki free zone in Lagos was not actually the original proposed site for the refinery. It was initially planned to be sited at Olokola free trade zone which belonged to both Ondo and Ogun States. The location was very close to the proposed site for Ondo seaport which was my hometown. But unfortunately, those two greedy governors were playing politics with Dangote. That was how Lagos came into the picture.

Chai, see how my state missed this golden opportunity.
Thanks for the info. Thanks🙏👍

richiemcgold:
That 100 million dollars should've landed in the coffers of Ondo and Ogun States. Dem Mimiko and Amosun no try at all. Those 2 guys really fall our hand. That thing dey always pain me, walahi!

is it true that he wants to site the refinery in Ogun state? Please tell me more.

Chelsea wants to sign new keeper, petrovic will likely leave.

I tire for my club

Why? Petrovic would still be part of the team for the next 4 to 5 years.

[/i] 🚨🟡⚫️ West Ham have approached Al Ittihad to ask about N'Golo Kanté as top target, as Will_Unwin reported.

Direct talks took place between clubs and with player's camp.

Al Ittihad current position: no intention to sell Kanté, considered as key player and top professional. [i]

I saw this man in EURO, I now began to query those who approve his sale.

Hmm

Their problem

Actually, I don't understand this tbh?
Why will Harry Kane wants to accept £100m to play in a condition that's alien to him negatively?

Is Spain alien to Messi, too, why he rejected numerous pleas to switch his nationality?
Spain made Messi, give him total support even what Argentina could not afford to give him, but still rejected them just to honour his fatherland.
Representing one's country is about honouring and giving credence to one's roots and origin.

Even most prime players are rejecting Saudi moves(and China moves then) even with all monies promised them. Is it also slave mentality?

Yes, You are just confirming my stance, majority of those who rejected the move are from colonizing countries, while those who accepted are from colonized countries.

It always human nature to go to where conditions and pay are standard and efficient and where their career will be appreciated.

How do they appreciate them? Yes, they appreciate them when they win but they will be singled out for blame when they lose, they hurl derogatory names at them. Meanwhile, they absolve their own of any blame and instead, direct racist slurs at us, calling us monkeys.
(Saka EURO 2000, Baloteli multiple times)

We are all know how most players are being neglected after having injuries by some of these African countries (esp Nigeria) when representing the national team.
Some are forced to even treat themselves with their own money or their clubs are forced to do so.

If I'm correct, I think no foreign player was neglected, but rather, it was the home-based players who were not properly handled. Moreover, it's unfair to generalize and judge the entire African continent based on one bad example.

You think someone like Eze that grew up in England would love to subject himself to this kinda thing?

So why are we making it as if these countries are forcing these players to play for them when in fact, it's our standard of living and publicity that's sub par that's chasing these top talents away?

They shouldn't have approached them in the first place.

Let Africans fix up themselves and we'll be the attraction of the world. We can't act like a 3rd class country then expect first class players/professionals.

If all our players shared this mindset, no one would be willing to represent the nation. But most players consider it an honour and a privilege to play for their country, and they take great pride in representing their nation.

Don't play with women

Katcall:
What baffles me is how Europeans are ready to let black africans come play for their national teams but black african countries will never allow pure white folks into their teams. Isn't that selfishness? Later, they will be the first to shout racism

That's not racism, it's modern-day colonization. Have you ever seen an African country colonize a European or Asian nation? During the colonial era, European powers exploited the resources of the countries they colonized to develop their own. Similarly, in sport today, wealthy teams from former colonial powers poach top talent from formerly colonized nations, stripping them of their best players to strengthen their own squads. This is a form of neocolonialism in sport.
Offer Harry Kane £100m per month to switch nationalities to any Africa country, and he'll promptly decline. Yet, promise a decent African player just a UK residency, and they'll readily accept to switch nationality without hesitation. (Slavery mentality) This disparity highlights a form of neocolonialism in sports, where African talent is exploited to enrich and strengthen the European teams.

Ok

Hmm

His back of head will you that he his an advanced man

This money miss road man again

andrewbaba44:
Foden na my guy and I have always praised him here and I won’t stop so soon when the season resumes

But you see for this international football the guy gba like agbalumo

Oga iPhone you suppose let us hear word abeg

To be honest, Foden had a great game, but unfortunately, he didn't manage to score or provide an assist not everyone will score a goal in a tournament or in a match. I think the criticism he's receiving here is unfair and likely just trolling.
On the other hand, Palmer is a phenomenal young player, everything he touches seems to turn to gold. He reminds me of Nwankwo Kanu, who had a knack for winning games for Nigeria with his incredible skills, though he would look like he's playing nonsense but in the end he will win match for you.

BlueRayDick:
So Yamal Lamine has won a major international
Trophy with his country at 17 while Lacazzette at 33 is currently playing with France U23 team in preparation for Olympic 🤦‍♂️

This life no balance at all

🤣 🤣 😂 LMAO

BlueRayDick:
Tears in Morata eyes. Tears of joy.

Unpopular Opinion : Morata is one of the luckiest players that ever played football

what do you mean by saying the "luckiest player".
Morata is an exceptional player who deserves all the accolades he receives. He's a world-class talent, and it's no coincidence that he has played for the top clubs in Europe, including the best teams in England, Spain, and Italy. His skills and dedication have earned him the opportunity to shine on the biggest stages, and he has proven himself time and again just like today, an ordinary player can not the captain of Almighty spain.
It's not luck, it's his hard work and talent that have made him a standout player.

Why e put Palmer mtchew

I know what you did there

BlueAngel444:
Ollie Watkins statement about what he said to Cole Palmer just goes to highlight that Southgate has little to no valuable input to how his players especially his attack play in order to set up goals.

Imagine two players coming on and discussing how they will win the game. And not saying that the manager told me to run and trust Palmer to pass. They believed in each other than an excuse of a manager

It seems like everyone is quickly jumping on the bandwagon and believing what Watkins said without critically evaluating the situation. Just because he made a statement doesn't mean it's worthy of so much attention, especially the way he said it, as if the other players he met on the field never had the mindset to score. Many people have made similar wishes or statements before, but they didn't necessarily come to fruition.
If simply saying something to your partner could guarantee results, nobody would struggle with achieving their goals. Let's not get carried away with speculation and focus on the facts that Watkins was just lucky, not his words that make it happen.

kingBolton:
Advantages of having a good finisher, Palmer give Jackson that pass 20 times and he is not scoring even one.

I can bet it, he'll be offside 13 times out of 20 pass, and when he does get it right, he'll shoot 4 shots over the bar and 3 shots on target.

Ibime:
Balon d'Or is political. They will just look at who won trophies. Just like our guy Jogginghoe that year when Kante and Donnaruma helped him

As of now, only Vinicius has the CV for this season to challenge Bellingham, maybe Rodri if he wins Euros. This year Balon d'Or will be the worst in decades

Walahi, no standout candidates 😂😂😂

Omoluabi16:
Boring though. I hate when football gets like this.. 30mins and they both have no idea. Zero creativity.

Football is not meant for you, try golf

France is playing as if they are protecting two goals lead.

fredoooooo:
Half time .. boring

second half is a bit better

France start this fraud, Camouflage abi wetin be his name? Portugal don win, and probably they will score through his mistake.

iamoyindamola:
Confirm penalty according to the rule
But it will be harsh on the player

So which one to follow now? The rules of the game or consider our personal feelings towards the player who committed the foul and decide not to punish him because we think the punishment would be too harsh?"
😂😂😂

Ijustwantto:
She can't even save her team😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 who is the "she"?😂

The winner of the EURO 1992 tournament is Denmark, but this is the team of the tournament.
How many players from that team can you still remember or recognize?


Me na 6 players I can recognize ooo

Germany is my second favorite team after the Super Eagles, but I believe in fair play. If you want to win your opponents beat them fairly and convincily not through ojoro.
