Tension tension tension , I will be hard to forgive Delap if we drop any point from this match.

Leyqute:
Delap 😎

Correct striker

We are having a good number of chances but we are wasting dem.

See Tosin nitori olohun, haba

Skimpledawg:
I agree to this

But with Slow-dogg at the back, James is more needed at the back

😂 😂 😂 😂
Abeg who be Slow-dogg?
I hope no be your Nigeria broder u Dey refer to?

FBS:
You fit call them nah - your village people that is say make them cancel the goal.

FBS:
lucky? It was a well worked goal. .

Make una dey appreciate simple things. heehan!

If VAR wants to act like your village people, they will cancel the goal because, in the build-up, the ball touched Cucu hand.

iamoyindamola:
Which luck, were you expecting to lose
As if you don't know Burnley

Cucu handled the ball

We are lucky with that goal sha!

Fremlin:
Why are we even starting Gittens

That midfield is non-existent , these people will use long ball kill us ooo

Tosin again?

Capaldi:
If we can't rotate against common Burnley and expect 3 points with Barca and Arsenal coming in 8 days then why do we have a big squad. Simply means the rest members of the squad are useless and should be thrown away. Barcelona and Arsenal are must win games.

Nobody is saying Maresca should not rotate or use other players. Rotation is part of modern football. But rotation has to be smart and balanced. You can introduce one or two fresh players into a stable, winning squad without destroying the rhythm and chemistry of the team.

What he does is not rotation, but complete overhaul of starting eleven.
Like two weeks ago there was a news about him that,
Maresca has made 85 changes to Chelsea’s starting XI so far this season across all competitions, reportedly more than any other Premier League club.
Who does that?

And when it predictably backfired, he will begin to patch the broken eggs, that is not effective squad management.

Look at Arsenal this season, they are not joking with any match. If Arsenal were to play even Eko Grammar School, Arteta would still field a strong lineup and then add just one or two fresher players. That is how top teams protect momentum, maintain standards, and still manage their squad depth.

Nemesis0147:
I like it
Make we know if we go throw banter for the weekend

You mean watching the remaining matches with relaxed mind.😂

Arsenal, Chelsea and Leeds do not have any players due to play in the 2025 Afcon - with Sunderland and Wolves losing the most players.

Villa - 1
Bournemouth - 1
Brentford - 2
Brighton - 1
Burnley - 3
Palace - 1 to 4
Everton - 2 to 3

I think Wolves relegation is confirmed ©

Segedinho:
Spy's anger is probably was/as a result of different justice for difference tribe/regions


KANU deserves deattttttttth/life imprisonment but when u look at the mirror using northerners lens then ur justice becomes selective,biased or absolute one sided which ultimately could be regarded as "injustice"

KANU may deserve death or life imprisonment based on the gravity of the allegations against him. However, when you examine the issue through the lens of how the Nigerian government has handled several Boko Haram cases, it becomes understandable why some people raise concerns about selective justice. The contrast between these situations naturally creates perceptions of bias or one-sidedness, which can be interpreted as injustice.

Still, the two scenarios are fundamentally different. Many of the Boko Haram individuals who received pardon were not "genuine" or "willing fighters". A significant number were kidnapped,sometimes with their families, forced into the group, and compelled to chose in participating in violent activities against their will or they get killed with their families. Later, many of them managed to escape or voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. Under established counter-insurgency and humanitarian frameworks, coerced combatants who surrender are treated differently from ideologues or commanders. Rehabilitation and reintegration become strategic tools, not acts of favoritism.

This is also why the federal government had very limited options. When coerced Boko Haram members voluntarily surrendered, FG had no choice but to pardon and rehabilitate them. If the government had refused, we Nigerians would have been the first to criticize them, arguing that perhaps the conflict would not have escalated to this level if earlier defectors had been handled with more openness. ( if we take MEND, Tompolo as case study)
Moreover, if every repentant fighter were immediately sent to prison, others who genuinely wanted to surrender would never come out to surrender. It is a delicate and strategic situation that requires balancing and like OBJ will say, it is like a stick and carrot approach .

When you break it down further, there are two separate comparison sets:

KANU and SHEKAU (are classified as principal actors)
Both represent leadership-level influence, ideological direction, and the capacity to mobilize violent actions. These are not coerced individuals, they are decision-makers and masterminds. This category is not eligible for pardon under standard security and justice frameworks.


REPENTANT BOKO HARAM MEMBERS and UGM members ( they are classified as non-state armed operatives who can surrender)
Repentant Boko Haram members who were forced into the group have a legitimate case for pardon. (if their confessions is true ) By the same logic, if members of the so-called Unknown Gunmen (UGM) come out voluntarily to surrender, renounce violence, and are screened to confirm they were coerced or misled, they also have a case for leniency and rehabilitation.
The real bias would only appear if UGM members genuinely surrender but the federal government refuses to extend to them the same consideration given to coerced Boko Haram defectors.

So, the issue is not simply that one group was pardoned and another was not. The core distinction lies in the nature of who is ready to surrender and who is not. Can UGM surrender?
Coerced recruits who surrender, whether from Boko Haram or any other armed group, fit into a category that can be rehabilitated.
Principal actors and ideological leaders, whether Shekau or Kanu, fall into an entirely different category where pardon is not applicable.

BlueRayDick:
Any man with such personae with be the one to sign his own death with his anger. He honestly doesn't have the traits of a good leader. The people he claimed to be fighting for their liberation, he ordered for them to be killed and their businesses destroyed if they refuse to comply with his various stay-at-home orders.

You say you are fighting for your people, yet you give orders to harm anyone who does not agree with you. Because of your own ambition, you have slowed down the progress of an entire region. This is why many people refuse to invest in the affected states. Tell me, who will put their money in a place where everyone is forced to sit at home every Monday?
Monday is ọjọ́ ajé which means the day wealth begins and business starts.

No investor wants to bring their business to a region where work stops every week, where shops stay closed, roads are empty, and families live in fear. How can companies grow? How can jobs be created? How will the economy survive when productivity keeps dropping? Even young people with talent are running to other states because they see no future where there is constant tension and wasted Mondays, but many don't want to admit this openly

The truth is, the real effect may not show fully today. But in 20 or 30 years, when the lost opportunities start adding up, when people look around and see how far behind the region has fallen compared to other states, then the pain of this “sit-at-home” culture will be clear. And by then, everyone will remember him, whether in a good way or a bad way, for the damage done to the future of his own people.

BlueRayDick:


If this is real, I'm sure FIFA will ban any country that decides to participate in this alternative world cup such that they won't be able to participate in future FIFA tournaments.

Nigeria will be fooolish to make themselves party to Russia's agitation that has nothing to do with us.

Yeah, This is a good perspective I hadn’t considered.
Surely FIFA will ban them, but there are some countries that have never qualified for a FIFA tournament before, and they know they cannot qualify. Such countries may consider the offer ooo

Guys, e don red 👇👇👇

Russia wants to host a World Cup for nations that failed to qualify for the 2026 tournament!

The new “alternative” competition could take place next summer — simultaneously with the real World Cup in the United States. The goal of this “World Cup” is to put pressure on FIFA to lift sanctions and allow Russia back into the qualification for the 2030 World Cup.

Among the potential participants: Russia, Serbia, Greece, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Nigeria, Cameroon, China, and others.
