Holy Crap!

Ibime:
Very disgraceful midfield play from Palmer and Enzo

Enzo lst the ball, Palmer doesn't cover him, Enzo doesn't bother to run back. João Pedro is the one who runs back from behind them

Tell me about it.

New Manager, same midfield problems.

nateevs:
He's not offside

Goal!

He's not offside

Caicedo hurt himself.

Wow!

cococandy:
He told everyone this. He said, vote for me, and it’ll be the last election you have to vote for ever. He literally said that. And idiots still went out and voted for him. Supposedly..🙄

Like I have always said on this matter, it's going to come to past. Presidential elections time will come and end, and he will not leave. I said this even in January.

Bootlickers like Dayo stake $1k on this not happening. A40 called it TDS.

PDPGuy was bewildered that this will even be a real thing..... but guess what

See ref. Nonsense officiating.

4-2-4 is dangerous

Garnacho!!!!!

Who put this guy for commentary sef?

Osimhen... wrong side

This ref is mad

Garnacho!

Ibime:
Chelle should move Onyeka to LCM to help Bruno and move Iwobi to RCM

I agree. Iwobi is chocked out too much on the left to affect the game going forward.

We need Iwobi with that vision and clever through passes.

Universal suffrage and majority rule democracy are dangerous. Everyone knows this but emotions get in the way. That's facts.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

I see your stories are becoming shorter per post, as you avoid engaging the facts. Meanwhile, you continue push your personally-developed opinions as facts.

Simple question. Would you be happy being part of the non-voting class for decades? I'm

Going after Jerome Powell for what?

Cococandy, bayelsaowei, raumdeuter, basilico, nateevs, Ibime, pdpguy

Upon his reelection, I wrote a bold prediction. "Welcome to 3rd world America".....


You only need to know this guy for a bit to understand what he is about. Even as dangerous as this is, it doesn't even get close to where the US is headed under this clown.

IbeOkehie:
Nigerians are so fond of this argument....

A few hours ago someone wrote something like "Eh, even if you're in the USA your family is still stuck with us in Nigeria"

Now it's "you support qualified voting because you think you're rich like Elon Musk"



Na wa o....the Victim Mentality is strong. No wonder socialist policies are so popular in Nigeria.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Alhaji leave the semantics and deal with the facts. You are spewing nonsense in the name of qualified voting. Attacking common sense understanding in the name of opposing socialist policies.

There is a reason why Nationality and Age are the universally agreed criteria for voting.

Where have your elitist ideas come from if not that you think you are better than others? A man who believes that the choice and decision-making for governance should rest in the hands of a qualified few, whilst simultaneously enjoying the benefits of democracy in the land of the free has lost his way.

bayelsaowei:
Iran wahala don pass be careful.

What is really happening there?

Escalations. I am reading the Iranian govt is killing its own people.

Alaye, just watch and learn. Ask one vital question. Who benefits from regime change in Iran?

Once we answer that question, we know more.

IbeOkehie:
First of all, the USA is already a Republic....all votes and political speech are not equal under law. Now to your comment

1) Yes on both. I've always thought that voting should be an earned privilege.

Paying off a home provokes awareness of property taxes. When a mortgage is still in place, taxes are rolled into the payment, many people don't even SEE THE TAX BILL....and it's paid on their behalf by the bank as a smaller monthly amount. When the mortgage is paid off, the taxes become due as a SINGLE YEARLY payment. That's why White Americans and retired, fixed income persons are very sensitive to taxes. They have a higher proportion of paid off homes.

Imagine if your property tax is $200 per month as part of a monthly mortgage. After you pay it off, the tax is paid as a $2400 lump sum.
If the city increases the property tax by $120, the impact is heavier on the mortgage free home owner. Some people inherit homes and because they don't have a mortgage, they live a more care free life. Every increase in taxes is a DIRECT INFRINGEMENT on their freedom.

By the way, there's ample EVIDENCE that neighborhoods and cities with high proportions of OWNER OCCUPIED housing have better quality of life indices such as low crime rates. They tend to vote for more efficient government and crime control to protect their property values. There's many neighborhoods in the USA with HOA rules that prohibit rentals precisely for that reason. Home owners have more INCENTIVE to maintain a good society.

2) This is plainly not true. This opinion has been repeatedly debunked on Nairaland threads where those stuck in Nigeria denigrate diasporans by claiming that borrowing to buy a home doesn't equate to home ownership. It's simply wrong. Enough said about that.

3) There's no mention of credit score. Many people inherit or buy for cash.

4) Indeed it's about rights vs duties. The USA and UK have gone too far in extending rights and deemphasized duties. By the way, such laws could be written in a way that requires just one or two of several qualifications. For example, qualification to vote might not require ALL, just ONE or TWO of the following -

1. Property ownership

2. Military service

3. Paying income tax.

4. Be a citizen or natural born citizen.

By the way, the recent controversies over property tax in Chicago should be an eye opener for Black Americans everywhere. A capitalist, free market economy such as the USA tends to make its citizens wealthier over time. The Black American resistance to property taxes in Chicago is a clear example of the political consequences. Black Americans staging protests against property taxes? Yes, Black Americans are rich too!!!!

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Sorry ogbeni, you talking poppycock.

No matter what metric you choose, it still amounts to nonsense.

Just like I've highlighted the craziness with using property ownership as a criterion for voting rights, taxes are no exception.

What if I pay £50m in taxes annually, why do you think you have equal voting rights with me when you only pay £2m? How about we draw a new threshold? Minimum £75m?

Do you see the anarchy yet?


Military:
What if a General disagrees to have the same voting rights as a sergeant? Why should someone who's given 20 years to the military concede to same voting rights as Private? Who draws the threshold line? Who protects revisionism of the threshold?

Surely you never thought this through. You are only acting on your class-clouded instincts, thinking you are better than others.


Essentially, you want to return the world to Lords and Commoners. The Lords know about good governance, the commoners don't.


Even if you were not first generation migrant in your lineage, your father/grandfather or great grandfather migrated to the US and toiled, so you can enjoy the privilege of this nonsense you are typing. Your belle don full now, you think you are Elon Musk.

Jamiuokolaa:
In 1998 former Brazil qoalkeeper Dida went to France for the World Cup as a substitute to the first team keeper, Taffarel.

He had no playing time therefore spent his time touring the city of Paris.

Kylian Mbappe was born in Paris not long after.

#Copied

This 5H!t funny

Kimbeast:
No resemblance with Dida. Now take a look at him and his father. The facial features says it all.

Nope. That's his dad up there in gloves.....

budaatum:
I personally think I have not mentioned race nor blacks much less gone for it, and feel you are quick to label one a "classic go-to".

Blacks are not the only ones disenfranchised by property requirements. The homeless are not all black. Should they also not be allowed to vote because they can't provide an address?

He's obviously a home-owner. Ask him if he had the same view when he hadn't owned a home.

Let's also ask him if he's become much wiser and/or more politically aware since he's owned his own home.

--------------

Imagine such senselessness being suggested.

Technically, most "home owners" are just "mortgage franchisees"..... people who have access to borrow money based on credit score. They are not home owners until mortgage is fully paid.

Imagine the anarchy when the fully-paid gang step up and demand more voting rights over mortgage franchisees.

Dude wants to disenfranchise millions of people based on credit score. Especially in the US when one bad illness in the family can wipe you away in an instant for years.

Right wing nut jobs always thinking they smarter than others. Always looking for more ways to restrict rights to the common people.

Goal. Game over.

Neto on the brink of using Popi logic, but intelligence took over.

Nice. Goal

Goal.

swiz123:
That touch by Gittens is why I won’t give up on him easily.

No one should give up on Gittens.

Goal!

Beautiful strike 1-0

Osayi having a blast!!!

How did that not go in?
