That’s your opinion. I don’t judge my players based on emotions. The only player that didn’t give a good account of himself today is Jorginho and maybe Kovaciç. The rest didn’t do badly if you ask me.
It’s just clear that the officials had an agenda against Chelsea.
Do you know how frustrating that could be for the players?

Hi Everyone, I’m 26 years old and I want to share my little story with you all. I hope you can learn a thing or two from it. This is not my main account, I had to create a new account in view of my decision to share my story on this platform. I’ve been a Nairalander since 2012 and I have benefitted from the amazing academic and career insights shared by many. So, I thought it kind to share mine to help others in this amazing community.

I graduated from the University (if I reveal this, my colleagues who are avid Nairalanders would identify me ) some 4-5 years ago with a second class upper, then proceeded to the Nigerian Law School (still made 2:1) and served in Rivers State. I did my NYSC in a reputable law firm (name withheld) in Port Harcourt. It was quite an experience both good and bad. I left the firm after service year out of frustration due to the poor leadership and mismanagement of funds by the head of office (the guy has since been fired). Mind you, my salary as a corper was 10k (the average NYSC legal associate in Lagos earned at least 5 -7 times this amount). I had depression at this point in my life.

After my unpleasant experience at the Port Harcourt firm and months of depression coupled with deep thinking and reflection, I decided to relocate to Lagos in January 2020 hoping to find a change in perspective. Mind you, I’m not from a poor background, my parents are both highly educated and middle-class workers residing in the South. Part of my resolve in relocating to Lagos was that I wouldn’t practice law again, I’ll probably go into technology, banking, or corporate communications (I speak eloquently).

After my relocation, I teamed up with a friend to work at a technology startup somewhere on the Island but this newfound path didn’t go as planned (I call this divine providence) and I was back to sitting at home. I did a few speaking jobs (volunteering) and some petty legal jobs for my friends and family to get by. At this same time, I was aggressively applying for both legal and non-legal jobs. This decision came on the background of my Dad’s advice that I should dust my CV/Certificates, search for a job and revive my already dwindling legal career. My Dad’s attempt to connect me to a senior partner at a hotshot law firm in Victoria Island failed and I basically had to do it my way.

Fast-forward to mid-February 2020 I had three interviews in three law firms within a space of two weeks. These firms ranged from mid-sized to small-sized. I attended all the interviews, the first interview was in a small law firm managed by a Senior Advocate. The SAN immediately liked my personality and offered to instantly hire me on a monthly pay of 100k (below industry standard). The other two law firms had slightly better remuneration, great structure and were bigger in size and outlook but their recruitment process was lengthy and I had to start immediately with the SAN on my Dad’s advice. I grudgingly stayed with the small firm hoping that I’ll get an offer from either of the two mid-sized firms and then port. Unfortunately, COVID happened and one of the firms discontinued my recruitment process while the other firm out rightly rejected me. I was deeply heartbroken. In order to keep my spirit and dreams alive, my Dad kept drumming into my ears that a smaller firm meant more work and a better learning experience. He kept reiterating the need to “know” the law and stop chasing money (what all senior lawyers say ). So, I was basically stuck with this 100k job, trust me at first the environment was deadening and monotonous (reading law reports and writing legal opinions every day isn’t fun at all ). I felt like ditching my Old man’s advice and resigning during this period but due to COVID, I had to borrow commonsense and stay back. Little did I know that staying back was the best decision I would ever make to date, all thanks to God, my Dad and COVID.

While 100k may sound fair to most people, kindly note that some of my colleagues (with the same academic grades as mine) in top firms earned a monthly average of 250k or more. This awareness made me very discontent and unhappy but I still hung on to my job (a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush) besides, who quits his or her job in the midst of a COVID induced global economic crises.

Then in October 2020, everything changed! My boss got this very big personal legal project, it was really big and my boss asked me to come on board the project team. I was then paid the sum of N2.5Million for my participation and input in the project. Later on, another personal project came through, although little. I did not even do much this time and my boss gifted me 500 Pounds from the project. All of this financial largess is outside my boss’ magnanimity in other areas like superb mentoring, paying for my professional certifications, and giving me advice (my boss can advise for Africa ), etc. Mind you, no matter how much I’m gifted or paid from the personal projects handled by my boss, my salary is still fully paid and as at when due. All these legal projects are reflected in my CV and have greatly boosted my career prospect. These projects have also helped me to build an impressive Linkedin profile and I’m currently very active in that space.

Recently, I got involved in another personal legal project with my boss and was paid N2 Million from the project fees. Sometimes, I look back at the events of my life and ask myself how I got to this pivotal point. If I hadn’t listened to my Dad’s advice and sought God’s face, I don’t think I would enjoy this type of privilege. I remember asking God for a multinational job but here I was, stuck with a 100k job completely unaware that God put a multinational remuneration in a small office with barely 8 employees. I’ve only worked for a year and 3 months but I’ve achieved what some people haven’t achieved in 3-5 years (career-wise and financially). Please don’t reject certain little offers that come your way, pray to God and seek advice where possible. Some blessings come in disguises and you may never know. This is my little grace-filled career story; I hope it inspires someone today. I want to thank God Almighty for his grace in my career and my lovely parents for their advice and tremendous support.

PS: I have abridged my story to hide certain facts and information for my personal safety and that of my office and boss. My story may sound too good to be true but believe me, it is absolutely true.

El Rufai no matter what people call him Bigot, sadist, Religious extremist. All I know is El Rufai is one politician who sees what is supposed to be do, he will go ahead and do it no matter what anyone thinks. Most times he doesn't do his work to pacify anyone. He does what is supposed to be done. Downsizing civil service is one of the bitter pill we have to swallow simple

Righteousness2:
This one Shock me!

Brother, calm down! Give Akv666 the benefit of doubt before you begin to threaten anyone.
First of all you are not certainly sure that this is your case, as it could be. Similar case.

Mr Akv66, also come out truthfully with the facts on ground. If this Brother happen to be the father of boy, then you are about to entangle yourself with troubles.

On a lighter note! Nairaland is big ooooo

When Stable coins are making it as top gainers , this is it. The pain is equivalent to the gain, is a life lesson some of us find it difficult to help a brother in need of $2 but here we are losing bunch of it. This is how we accumulate wealth like we discussed it with God, when He is calling us back. Life lesson learnt. Funded my younger brother account last week, for him to learn how to invest, now the dude be like, you would have send the money in my account .crypto will be back, make sure you save what you will use to buy the bottom dip, or you will watch others ride for months before you see even capital .calm down we all are brave for being here, life story.

All those attacking my comments about Musa, shouting tribalism up and down. Is Musa now a Benin man or Ijaw man. Did I said anything bad about his tribe? na you people shame suppose catch pass. It was Musa and the Northern cabals in NFF that scattered the Super Eagles Rohr is trying to rebuild.

See what they did. They brought quota system into Super Eagles. They prevailed on Sunday Oliseh to make their own captain. Oliseh took the armband from Vicent Enyama... One of Africa's finest goalies and gave it to Musa ahead of Mikel, Echiejile and Emenike. This scatterd Super Eagles. Enyama felt humiliated and retired. Emenike who was our best striker that time and who came out as top scorer in Afcon 2013 also retired. The team was in anarchy. DR Congo even begin win us.

Oliseh was a very good coach but the Northern abokki cabals in NFF no allow him to work. His Super Eagles was one of the worst we experienced. Even spoon them no win. They lost even at CHAN. Oliseh left them and went back to his base in Europe where he transformed Fortuna Sittard and won the Dutch 2nd Division title with them, promoted them to 1st division. Their first silverware since 23 yrs.

Rohr came on board and asked Musa to surrender the armband to Mikel who was his senior in the team.

Now look at the AFCON qualifiers. Person wey no dey with a club for close to 1 year was called up to the team just because he is the captain and from North. They sidelined Paul Onuachu who was scoring goals like madt in Belgium. I remember when Mikel was sidelined even as a captain because he was playing in the Championship. When we saw this... A lot of us hit Gehrot Rohr hard on Twitter, we involved Sports journalists in the country. I was burning my airtime calling Radio stations during Sports shows asking them to tell Rohr to include Paul Onuachu. Las las Rohr come get sense by force and included Paul Onuachu at the last minute.

It was this same Paul Onuachu that scored the lone goal in Porto Novo and broke the Benin jinx in their homeland since 20 years. Paul Onuachu also scored the following week against Lesotho.

Now they asked him to return to Kano Pillars so that they will have arguments to pressure Rohr to retain him as captain. Captain wey no get club, even a player plying his trade in China no deserve to be our captain. Our boys are the best in Africa right now.

The Musa and his northern cabals nearly killed our Super Eagles. That's just the truth. The Super Eagles is our national pribe. That's our joy right now. No be say you build one or two mini sports centres you will come force yourself on us. When it is clear you are no longer performing and needs to retire honorable. Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, Mikel and co don retire to pave way for our young stars. Musa should do the same.

If football na quota system blacks for no full the French team come win the World Cup for France.

The tribalism crew. I no insult any tribe here. Perhaps na inferiority complex they worry you people.

Guardiola main focus is champions league. He hasn’t won it since Barcelona days.
