To me, he’s not the real satan as he was just a figurehead. The real devil is Iran’s supreme leader and spiritual father.
Nice speech tho. Sending condolences to the people of a man who was nicknamed “the butcher” doesn’t make him a good man.
May his deeds judge him accordingly

Damnnn niggar
I will keep on saying it

Guardiolor is not that good

He only knows the secrets to wining epl

The secrete is that don't give a fuckkk about other big clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, arsenal, man u and Liverpool

Just go ahead and pick your maximum 6 points home and away from every other small small clubs

That is the secret people don't understand


Arsenal collected 4 and 6 points almost from all the big teams home and away yet them nor fit win the league
Assuming them use that energy on small small teams the trophy for be their own

Just the gospel truth. Learn to win small games and the league is yours.
City hardly lose silly points to small teams. Guardiola can share points with the big names in the league but you see all those spoilers (small teams), he plays them with the mindset of not sharing nothing with them and he also hardly flops during the last days of the seasons unlike those two bottlers FC (Assnal and Liverpool) How TF did Assnal and Liverpool both lose to Villa and Wolves respectively on the same day?
Na Assnal, Aston Villa and Tottenham give City this painful record

Melagros:
COMRADES, Nathenyahu should submit himself to ICC period. You called yourself a democratically elected president, are you better than those African leaders whom were declared wanted or hammered with international arrest warrant?

I love Israel but I hate Nathenyahu in person because of his power drunk attitude, if Benny Gantz is the prime minister he could have handled this war wisely

Can you educate us on how the war was supposed to be handled?
Let’s assume you were the President of Israel and 1200 of your citizens were killed with many others kidnapped, how would you go about it to stop a reoccurrence of such event?
Pat the terrorists on the back for a job well done because crooked organizations such as the UN and ICC say you have no right to fight terrorists who are openly supported by their host country ( Palestine) and almost every Muslim country? The difference btw Hamas and many other Terror groups is that unlike others, Hamas enjoys the open support of many religious fanatics including the whole of their host country. Even during the time of the great Osama, Afghan people weren’t so fuulish to the point of openly supporting AlQaeda despite the fact that they hosted him. It’s freedom fight when Jews are killed but becomes a genocide when it’s the Arab Palestinians that are at the receiving end.
This ridiculous judgment from the ICC is tantamount to saying that Tony Blair and Bush should be arrested and Tried alongside Saddam Hussein or asking the court to arrest Bush and Osama over World Trade Center attacks for Osama and the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq by Bush in his quest to find Osama. Did they sound like reasonable judgements to you?
So if someone tries to kill me, I must be civil about how I decide to defend myself against him, right? Is that what you and the ICC are suggesting?

LexngtonSteele:

Since IGR in SE is the lowest nationwide, why can't FG just allow them to export children to earn some foreign exchange ?

And you wan make heaven so ?

LeeSantos:
Why do they feel hunted by this man’s mission? We have more pressing issues than far way election date. But they all keep talking about who will be and who will not.

The reason is because “Na from clap dance dey start” when you tolerate eeediots too much, there will surely come a time when they will be almost impossible to tame.
The Peter being better than Tinubu was like a terrible joke at first until ignorant southwestern kids (Falz, Mr macaroni and a lot of Lagos youths) started getting brainwashed to believe that the same Peter Obi under whose leadership, Awkuzu sars were killing youths like chickens, was a saint and messiah sent by god to deliver us (youths) from the clutch of wicked leaders like he isn’t one of them. Like play like play, the falsehood started gaining heavy momentum through the internet when the other candidates were being civil and going grassroots. You even claim he’s a youth and one of us. If everyone kept on playing civil and lenient, you and the fuuul would successfully brainwash our kids into believing that Obi was a good governor despite your disapproval and heavy criticism of him in 2012.

God1000:
Really, Iran cannot do shit and it took the united States, UK and several countries to intercept the ballistic missiles and drones Iran sent last month to Israel, just thank God for the early warning from Iran, it could have been more ugly


Continue deceiving yourself

The same Iran whose top military commanders were killed in broad daylight by both Trump government in 2020 and Israel in 2024 and nothing happened except tantrums and empty threats One would think you were talking about one serious country. A country that ended up killing hundreds of its citizens in retaliation to the US’s precision strike that killed Soleimani.
Also @bolded, a wise person would know the reason for the earlier precautionary warning. Iran obviously gave the warnings to make Israel buckle up so as to not cause escalation. It was a wise move from Iran to ensure there weren’t human casualties that could warrant serious consequences.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
A Palestine🇵🇸 statehood will bring peace to the Middle East region but the Israeli and her Western allies will always veto such proposal@ the United Nations Security Council.

You mischievously and callously ignored the fact it’s humans that were killed.
Please, who have been rejecting the two-state solution and waging wars before now? The Jews? No, it’s the Arabs. They’ve been the ones rejecting the UN resolution and going to wars they would later lose.
When you know how to start a war, please learn how to finish it to the end.
Hamas started another one last year, killed over 1000 people like chickens but y’all ignored it like those killed weren’t humans with families, aspirations and dreams all because the perpetrators of the dastardly acts practice the same religion as you.
Una dey crase well well.

Jovi10:
A good leader does not use emotions to rule. So far the constant bombing of Gaza has proved useless in locating the hostages. There's no way they keep bombing and leveling buildings to the ground that it won't affect the hostages as well. He's not a good leader, a good leader ways every option before acting. He used emotions to make decisions and so far no result only more killings of innocent children and women which has led to widespread protest from the entire world against the genocide acts . Same thing with zelensky of Ukraine he's not a good leader as well.

He’s actually a great leader. A good leader doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. May the people who have lost and are still going to lose their lives rest in peace but when every leader starts doing this, terrorism and ransoming will become obsolete because you already know that you will be killed together with the people you’re holding (collateral damage)
It’s funny how nobody cries now but let’s imagine the reverse was the case. Are those Israeli victims not humans? It’s perfectly normal and okay when the causalities are Jews but becomes genocide when it involves Palestinians

UselessBuharist:
I hope not on credit again, Yoruba too like to impress/oppress/showoff.

Fake lifestyle everywhere

Such an irony An ibo werey saying someone likes oppressing others. The same ppl who do all sorts of stupeeed things both home and abroad so they can go home to oppress others in the village
You accuse others of what you’re guilty of while talking down on other tribes but it becomes tribalistic if the reverse happens.

When will that Agulu thief, the mister chemical reactor, react and call the project a misplaced priority?
Isn’t this waste of money?

Very Funny ambiguous answers from Atiku
The interviewer tried hard to make him disclose if he’s going to be stepping down or not but guyman suddenly turned to maradona
Now the question is: will the new party agree to make Peter their flag bearer?
This is just a ploy to make Obi join the party and lose in the primaries. Leaving the party after losing the primary will be too late and embarrassing for him
So the game plan is to use Obi as the vice presidential candidate just like 2019. Are you contesting is a simple Yes or No question and this beating around the bush from Waziri is needless and funny

Bigkoko:
Agree 💯 with you. But some people whose tribe is known for fraudulent activities especially BEC, oluwole certificates etc will make it look like Dem no dey do crime. Especially as they turn a blind eye to the fact that one of their sons, the one and only Chicago suppler of white powder was one of the druggies of early 70s....Sha wetin I Sabi sef?

I

Crime knows no tribe but a particular crime becomes more troubling if a particular group of people are the usual culprits.
The fact that the south westerners are notorious for rituals doesn’t mean that the igbos don’t do ritual killings but you would hardly see Yorubas trying to ignore and make it look like it’s an Igbo thing. You would hardly see the Yorubas trying to absolve themselves of the dirty acts despite knowing it’s a shared culture and only the Northerners are innocents.
The igbos on the other hand will never own up and accept the fact that they are notorious across the globe for being drug pushers going by statistics. The population of igbos rotting away in foreign prisons is more than the population of the igbos currently living in the south east yet the igbos still have the gut to accuse someone else of being a drug lord despite not being convicted for the crime.
Your ee diotic selves are again parroting another claim that the Yorubas are fraudsters when we all know being Igbo is synonymous to dishonesty, fake, fraud, deceit to the point that Igbo/Aba-made is used to describe a knock-off version of something in the Nigerian parlance

lilfreezy:
Congrats to him but any award that is given by opening to public voting, is overrated. Nigerians were voting massively on Twitter.

It's like that peak year of Lewandowski during covid, if you open a public vote for the world to vote between him and Messi who was going to win the Ballon d'or, you know Messi is gonna win it. That's exactly what played out here.

Stop ridiculing yourself in your quest to sound smart and different. I didn’t even vote but this guy dusted every other contestant in every area of the contest despite having the shortest playtime.
Neverlusen are about to break a record that even Bayern Munich have never broken before—-a feat that no team in the whole of Europe has ever achieved before and you’re trying to make it look like he got sentimental votes? Arsenal is the only team from Topflight European football that comes close but they have no European unbeaten record. Cmon, this team has just 5 draws and if they win on Saturday, their wins will be 28. Stop downplaying the efforts of other people, he deserves it more than the other strikers. Dude has had 30 goal contributions in 32 matches. Haaba fear God

Blazetrailer:
Correction. Nigeria has a dunce for a President. All events have shown Buhari to be a better manager of the economy than this fraud.

I never imagined that I will accept that an illiterate like Buhari will understand the negative implications of devaluing the naira against the IMF/World Bank advice better than the "first class accountant with CPA and master strategist".

I never believed I would accept that in a lifetime

My friend, you are actually the illiterate here. What you are seeing today is actually the actual value of the Naira and what it should be since the time of Jonathan. This is not me crediting him but devaluing the naira isn’t the root cause of the problem but the troubling discrepancy in the importation to exportation ratio is.
Nigeria has always had a higher demand for the US dollars and foreigners aren’t seeking to buy our naira because they just don’t need it because we aren’t PRODUCING AND SELLING tangible things to them. Your currency becomes valueless if nobody wants it. Nigeria’s economy is import-dependent. We buy virtually everything we need from abroad using the scarce US dollars. It’s that simple and it’s no rocket science.
I would have thought you were economically exposed if you had said Tinubu isn’t encouraging aggressive exportation practice just like his failed predecessors but praising Buhari (another failed illiterate) is the height of it all. Buhari as how?
In fact, all of them are failures including Peter Obi and Mikano, the two notorious importers.

patrickcollins:
I was never a supporter of president Buhari but he is better than the man doing the Job now and is good Buhari has seen how he failed but when in Office his party members never told him the truth

I’m not even supporting either of them really and I started supporting Tinubu the moment people were hyping Peter Obi who was heavily criticized in 2012 (we were all here on this forum and on Twitter and everywhere)
And back to what I said earlier, Buhari was a stubborn leader who listened to nobody not even his wife while he was in power. Tinubu fked up big time for even approving such an inhumane policy at this time but at least, he finally bowed to pressure from the masses. If it was during Buhari’s time, presidency wouldn’t talk anybody until after several months later. Leadership should be about listening.

At least Nigeria now has a listening President unlike bubu.
If it’s Buhari that made the policy, no amount of gnashing and screaming would make him rescind the decision and that’s what makes him a terrible leader. Good leaders listen.

Stop using lists like this one as your waypoint for making comparisons between Nigeria and all these countries. I haven’t been to most of those countries but at least I can speak about SA and Ghana. These two countries are only progressing on papers, it’s only when you get there you will know that Nigeria is far better. I’m not making excuses for the bad state of the Nigerian economy and the government but you see that Ghanaian cedi, the Nigerian Naira will give you more value in Nigeria than the Cedis in Ghana.
Don’t believe all these lists, the Naira and Cedis both have the same value in USD. The Ghanaian currency value is fake and you won’t know until you live there. Same with the South African Rand.

Kukutente23:
If PSG had good chances to shoot, won't their shots be on target? The fact that their shots were hitting the goalposts shows they never had good sights on goal but were just trying their luck with speculative shots.
Dortmund did not concede any meaningful chance to PSG until they scored. Go and watch the match again.

I left the two (even more) of you that day because I know it’s highly exhausting to try to convince ignorant people especially when they come in large number.
Now that they have crossed to the final, let’s see if they are going to be lucky this time at Wembley.
Again today, Borussia Dortmund conceded another 2 crossbars and 3 of their opponents’ (Mainz) shots made it to the back of their net. It could have been 5-0
What did I say about their defence on Tuesday? You can’t concede 3 goals and 8 hit-crossbars against 2 teams in just 3 matches and still claim you are tactically defensive. That’s so much an erroneous claim for a team that hardly keeps a clean sheet.
What kind of defense is that?
Be kiaful o my friend abeg make I no enter you this night

geoworldedu:
What is this one saying? Is this PSG's game or did I tell you that Dortmund is invincible? Dortmund will beat PSG anyday anytime home and away and that's all I know. Real Madrid is the master of the game. So I don't expect Dortmund to win them, though I wish they can. So your tagging after losing the final is unnecessary, but you can tag me another time they meet PSG again. PSG go still chop am wotowoto that time, then sef, Mbappe no go dey. Dortmund a champions league winner is not PSG mate in any way. It's Arsenal and PSG that you can mention in the same sentence, not Dortmund

You are now talking trash my friend and next time, make sure you know the root of an argument before senselessly jumping into it. At least, that’s what wise people do.
Both PSG and Dortmund weren’t my favorites but I made that comment according to what I observed in their home and away games. My observation was that PSG played better that night and that DORTMUND’S TACTIC WAS WACK AND NOT SUSTAINABLE because if it wasn’t a poor tactic, they wouldn’t concede 6 hit-crossbars in just 2 matches against the same team. Those were my exact words.
To buttress the point I made, I gave you what they played again today against Mainz that is a much weaker team in all areas compared to both PSG and Dortmund (trophies and achievements-wise). This team beat them 3 to nil with 2 of their shots hitting the crossbar again. Good team with good defence and tactical defensive play wouldn’t be conceding that much shots (woodwork)
Don’t make me insult you abeg. Next time, stop arguing about topics that are above your mental capacity. Thank you.

geoworldedu:
You are talking like an olodo. Any ball that went past a keeper is because the keeper stretched to his limit, but the ball was going away from his reach. So if someone shoots a ball 2m higher than the post, it means that the ball is faster than the keeper? It simply means the ball went far away from where the keeper is. So a ball that touches the bar could have passed the keeper by an inch. If it had come closer a bit to the keeper, he would have caught it. Have you heard what they call a keeper covered the post? Have you also heard about trajectory or projectile? The position the keeper stood, he stretched to the end, but the ball stubbornly passed him because the ball was going out of the goal post, only to hit a bar. If it was a ball that was going to enter inside the post, the keeper would have stopped it and that's what we called shot on target. I wonder why you value a shot off target than shot on target. Nawa o.

I purposely left you to keep ranting silly. Una no go watch match but keep relying on online analysis and full-time scoreline and na una go dey do oversabi pass . When did you start watching football?
Like I said earlier this week, this present Dortmund’s defence is not a sustainable one and that they were being lucky against PSG and their match today against Mainz, a fellow German side team fighting relegation, just proved me right.
Again, just like they did earlier this week in the UCL against PSG, Borussia Dortmund conceeded 3 goals and 2 hit-woodworks (would have been 5-0) thereby raising the tally to 8 hit-woodworks in just 3 matches. Are you okay at all my friend?
I will tag you again when they get beaten blue and black at Wembley
Your football knowledge is amazing.

Lizzysamuel:
That's the job of opposition parties all over the world?

Oh really?
So you’ve finally come to terms with reality? So Gbajue is now an opposition? I thought Bateria can never be your president

SeeWahala:
There is no other nigerian politician alive today who takes education as seriously as his excellency, Peter Obi

His antecedents speak for him

E no go better for you. Yes, he takes education seriously and so well that students were out of school for 7 months during his tenure. He’s better than all the other Governors because while their own school strikes lasted more than a year, Peter limited Anambra’s own to just 7 months. Why then can’t we call him the most performing governor in the area of education?
Your head is leaking.

geoworldedu:
if the balls are not hitting the crossbars, pls tell me where they will go. They would have come lower for the keeper's hands to touch, isn't it? That's why the keeper could have saved them. But they were too high for the keeper's reach or too far from his reach. If they come closer to his reach, they won't strike the crossbar and he would have caught them. If you don't understand my grammar let me use Mathematics to explain them. A particular football was shot towards the keeper. The keeper stretched to 3.2m but his hand could not touch it. The 3.2m already covered all the surface of the post, but the ball went farther at 3.4m. Instead of saying that PSG nearly scored the ball, I am seeing it from the angle that they nearly had a shot on target because if the ball had come 0.2m closer to the keeper, the keeper could catch it. So next time, tell PSG to be more accurate because nearly cannot kill a bird and nearly that involved woodwork is not almost a goal but almost a 'shot on target' because the keeper could have caught it.

Look at the picture below. Will you tell me that if the ball that hit the crossbar and ricocheted away had come a bit lower, the keeper wouldn't have saved it?

Somebody said that the reason why PSG hit the crossbars all the time is that Dortmund defended so well that there wasn't any available space to play the ball into the net than the crossbar. That's how good Dortmund's defence was over the two legs

It’s the way you’re spewing undiluted trash with so much confidence for me
Does this mean that I’m now teaching you that if a shot is able to hit any part of the crossbar (with exception to the ones pushed/deflected by the goalies), it means it has already gone past the goalkeeper? (meaning that it’s faster than what the goalkeeper could have stopped)
Am I seriously having this conversation with a human?
How on earth did your argument make sense to you baby girl?

Ade1177:
The real flop

Was ramos

With missing 4 big chances

And to think this same guy was being compared to Ronaldo in the WC is more than ridiculous. That loss was proudly sponsored by Ramos, Donnarumma and Dembele

Kukutente23:
Maybe they are hitting the goalposts because Dortmund has blocked every chance of the ball hitting target 🤷‍♂️

I love this but no, good defense wouldn’t give you the chance to even shoot at all and if you are able to, it would land softly in the hands of the goalkeeper. They were only able to block like 9 out of over 20 shots played by PSG. Also, if you watched the match, you would know that Dortmund’s defense line wasn’t really solid but PSG wwere unlucky, wasteful and have a horrible defense line and goalkeeper.

geoworldedu:
Talking about woodwork, it is even called off target. So what the eff about it? When keeper saves it, then it is on target. 6 off target shots is what you are disturbing us about. Lol. The saves made by keeper are even to be talk about than off target shots like woodwork shots. So forget the story. Nobody beats you home and away and you claim it's by luck. That's so funny to say. I maintain, if PSG had equalised with the first woodworks, the other five would not have come because Dortmund would have changed tactics to attacking football, except they want to the unfortunate like the S.E in the final of the just concluded AFCON.

I saw your condemnation of my assumption but I see that you making assumptions of woodworks being goals is also unfounded because if the woodworkers had fired the shots within the net, the keeper could have saved them. But you assumed they will enter the net if they are not striking the wood.

@bolded are you being sarcastic or what?
You mean the goalkeeper would have saved the shots if they didn’t hit the goalpost?
No vex, I should have assumed that the balls would bounce back to the goalkeepers arms instead of entering the net since the goalkeeper is the flash. How una dey take dey reason at times?
How does that sound to you baby girl?
Now, I understand. You eventually proved my suspicion right that nairaland freebasic is your source
Have a nice day

Ekaka14:
You deservedly have your points but I was more concerned about how Dortmund organized themselves over 2 legs and got the job done...a double over a higher ranked side...PSG
I won't argue about anything else you typed up there...football can draw many thoughts and there's always the element of luck tucked into the overall assessment of a game

Yeah you are right. They were very disciplined and protected their lead and yes, luck is part of football and that’s my point.
I’m just enraged about how some peeps who didn’t watch the match but were following the scoreline on nairaland were saying Dortmund played better. Yes, they produced the desired result but I won’t say they produced the result as a result of their great tactic because they failed. Even FC24 commentator sef go talk say the crossbar becomes the goalkeeper’s best friend when there’s a hit-woodwork
A team conceding 6 hit-crossbars in two matches against the same opponents isn’t tactics but pure luck. I wouldn’t be saying this if it’s was their goalkeeper that was saving all the shots or if PSG forwards were the ones being wasteful as a result of Dortmund’s solid defense and pressure play (though, they were wasteful)
I said this same thing about Atletico Madrid when they played Dortmund in Spain. Atletico Madrid were doing what they are notorious for (bus-parking) when they were 2 goals ahead but were lucky that night.
Two of Dortmund’s shots hit the crossbar and the last one hit the post in the final second of the game.
Yes, luck is part of football but PSG were not lucky (you would understand this better if you’re a punter and were looking for just one goal from PsG last night)
Pesin wey dey find one go con dey hit bar 4 times, no be juju be that?
You will think it’s your village people that are behind it

geoworldedu:
Do you think the other five woodworks would have occured if PSG had scored the first woodwork? No, it won't because DORTMUND won't defence as soon as it becomes 1-1. They will go all out and then the chances won't come for PSG. They stayed back because PSG didn't score a goal. If you think I'm lying ask Atletico Madrid. When Dortmund was leading 2-0, they stayed back. When Tico equalised them, they came out and played. Then they scored another two more goals. Aswear, assuming PSG equalised yesterday, you would have seen Dortmund in full force again and the score would have been 3-1 because Dortmund will score again and again.
SE refusal to use Dortmund tactics of defence and then attack cost them the AFCON. Imagine, Ivory Coast equalised them, yet they still kept defending till the end. PSG should be glad they didn't equalise yesterday because if they did, Dortmund would have destroyed them with an attacking football that they don't understand.

@bolded is based on assumption. I hate it when people argue with that word “if”
You will notice I didn’t say PSG would have won if their shots didn’t hit the bar 6 times. You don’t argue using assumptions.
Secondly, my main point is that PSG were the better team last night. A good team wouldn’t be saved by the crossbar 6 times in two games.
I would have agreed with you if PSG attackers’ shot were successfully blocked from getting to the goalkeeper or if they were saved by the goalie. Remember that A.Madrid played this same pattern with Dortmund and I can remember telling people then that Atletico were being lucky because Dortmund played better just the same way Chelsea played better football than City in the FA cup semifinal but still lost to them (though, it was all thanks to English FA, the referee, VAR and hon. Jackson of course )
Atleti started parking the bus in the second half of the game just because they were having a 2-goal lead. Dortmund played really good football but were unlucky that night with 3 woodworks. They had 3 hit-woodworks and I can remember saying it that Madrid’s anti-footballing gameplay would surely backfire in the second leg because it’s just not sustainable.
What I’m saying in essence is that what Borussia played yesterday is not sustainable and I don’t see that as a good tactic (nobody is saying they shouldn’t defend their lead but they failed at it)

Kukutente23:
Luck and PSG couldn't score them due 180mins. Just say otumokpor and you'll be alright
They scored PSG home and away o. Maybe na luck push ball inside net for them

I can’t blame you. You rely on nairaland freebasic for scoreline updates
Match result/scoreline doesn’t always show who the better teams are. If one is to invest in either of the two teams last night, idiots like you will surely go for Dortmund going by the scoreline you see
Who hits the goalpost 6 times in two matches against the same opponents?
PSG needs deliverance and their entire defense line and Donnarumma need to be flushed.

geoworldedu:
In football, you have to win your games. PSG had two opportunities to show that they were better. Home and away, no goal to show for it. That doesn't show that they were better in any way. Having ball possessions doesn't make you a better team. Winning the games does. If PSG had scored one goal yesterday, Dortmund would have come out to play again and get another goal. That's tactics for you. They stayed behind till the end because PSG couldn't score.

Yes it’s was luck. I have nothing against Dortmund but they have not been impressive in the UCL so far. I wouldn’t be saying it’s luck if Kobel, their gk was the one saving the shots. Concededing 6 hit-woodworks isn’t tactics my guy. It would have made sense to call it tactical play if those shots were saved by the goalkeeper or if the opponents were shooting out wide above the bar as a result of high pressure play from Dortmund

chriselderson:
It's Dortmund time to win the UCL Trophy. I fully back them to lift it.

Really? With their wack anti-football gameplay?
You joke too much.
Well, it’s only possible if Bayern get lucky today against Madrid. Believe me, Real is lifting the trophy again if they make it to the final
