Roma will be regretting selling salah for 45M

There's nothing to be regretted. He was sold at a fair value

If he still was at Roma he would still be averaging 15 to 20 goals. This Liverpool side is tailored perfectly to him. The side plays to his strengths. i.e highlines, no specific forward and fast breaking counter attacking system that takes advantages of his speed. When he was signed Klopp mentioned he wanted to create something akin to Robben and Ribery at their prime with Salah and Mane and i guess he has achieved those.

I doubt he would be able to replicate same form for any other club. i am sure if he went to ManU, maybe he would have averaged 7 goals and 2 assists.

Am confused o, Engineers in the house, please won't a normal wide road do the job of that fly over.

Wide road with concrete demarcation in the middle lane will do the job of that bridge, just like Palmgrove - Maryland axis , the place will even be more beautiful and less costly

I believe this bridge madness where it is not needed is a form of stealing from government. These governors are devils hand tool in Nigeria.

Yes you maybe right but this passes through the innermost market areas in Kano I.e Bata and main market areas. These are business districts and as much as I believe redirecting traffic or relocating the current market elsewhere would have been a bit cheaper. This is still the most effective way of curtailing the traffic. You have a situation where large market parts is in the middle of two populated areas of Kano and the traffic from one side to the other is enormous. So People who have no biz at the market need not pass the underlay.

Golf. Its a 10000mah capacity.

Onegig of Nairaland bought it for me circa 2014

Its still firing on all outputs

Onegig, if you are seeing this, thank you again. I need one for my mother.

chai madam. Me I don even forget sef. How you dey? You still have that? Wow. Welcome. You just boned this side abi chopping money in ibom...

Are these the same set of people I share a country with? No wonder this country is a shithole . See the youths. So you are saying HIV is a black man disease?

Sorry about your loss poster. It can be very traumatizing.


Living in Lagos can be hell. Aside the traffic you have to face daily.You have to be calculative not to get robbed in traffic if you are driving or fall for one chance robbers.

But there are simple tips to note please to at least avoid such.

1. Never ever enter a bus that's not at a designated bus stop. Most people are robbed because they stay on the road and don't want to pay the extra N50 fare at the car park. Rare for a bus from a park to be a one chance bus because they would be identified.

2. If you don't have a car. It is better to resume work late than to get robbed. nothing wrong leaving home by past 6am when everywhere is brighter.

3. Enter buses that have inner lights only in addition to the first. At least most of these aren't one chances

4. Do not follow the advice of other commuters or strangers urging you to enter a bus. They are all mostly in collusion.

5. if you drive. Learn new roads and use Google maps traffic to spot areas with slow downs and totally avoid them. Areas like stadium under bridge, apongbon, Eko bridge are areas i avoid like a plagued once i see there's traffic. Better to get home late that get a smashed window.

6. No need to be in a rush. Your life is more precious than any silly deadline set at work
Surulere and Yaba are very notorious with such early morning crimes.

I think at this point we need VAR.


Even if it takes ages to perfect it. Blatant calls like this should definitely not be in football. Stayed away from watching football because of dubious refereeing and 10 years after same is still happening.

Mukina2 let's have this game on fp

@ikpuru1234


One thing i have noticed.

Once you become petty. Marriage can be a tough one.

I understand all the previous tension but seriously. Who has time to be arguing back and forth to the point you guys were spitting on each other? You both seem like kids. If my niece and nephew were fighting over the colour of a ball i would understand they are still kids. But two grown adults? Like wtf?

After all that shit show you still brought it up the next day? I no blame una. You have all the time in the world. maybe when you wake up by 5am do a one hour road trip get back home by 10pm you wouldn't care less whether a fictitious pastor in a movie was having marital problems or not.


please learn to just take a chill pill when in such situations. Always ask yourself. Would this add 5k to my account at the end of it? Or would i be better served wasting precious energy on silly talks ? Maybe when people focus their energies on the right things and leave normal things to pass they would have better marriages.

Good, there is no respect for hard work around here. People treat blue collar workers like thrash when they are actually the engine room of any economy. Remove cab drivers, delivery guys, truck drivers and let's see if any city would be able to survive for 24 hours.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Define dependent


One man's meat
You cannot force your opinion on others



Make she marry herself na since she no need me
Me I need cook cleaner and baby maker
If she not interfere there are plenty of fuckboys outside

Why you sef no budget for Maggi


It's a myth


Whose fault


There is no chronic in capitalism just lots of lazy ppl


It is sjw that are changing the narrativ
Didn't work in Russia or China
Will not work now or in the future

Who beg dem to be nacking without condom

Good luck to you. I wish the girl who would get hitched to you a lot of luck. As for the rest of your diatribe the bolded just showed how narrow you are thinking.

Yeah people can lift themselves out of poverty in your dreamy world. Guess you can pull yourself up by your boot strings? Maybe we put you up to it? Ain't it?

Lol...I had to smh at your total lack of depth. Poor people are poor because they are lazy? Like wtf? Tell that to a lumber who cuts up timber under the heavy sun that he is lazy. or the numerous people who walk the length and breadth of cities with heavy load on their heads hawking goods that they are lazy and that's why they are poor.

If that goes way above your head maybe we make it into a layman's analogy prolly you would get it this time.

I have N1000 i do a biz and make some efforts . I make a return on investment of 10%. That's N100 profit.

Dangote's son invests 1billion naira and put in same efforts. He makes a 10% return. That's 100 million naira. For the same effort and time spent.

I guess i am still lazy?

Not to derail the thread. Go to the markets or your corner shop , go to government offices and even go to private institutions . The ratio of women to men is almost 60:40. I guess all these women are imaginary and they don't have families they are currently supporting no matter how small. Good luck and good night.I am past my bedtime.

MIKOLOWISKA:
but the same woman wants the man to house and feed her and her offspring for the next 40 to 50 years. Nonsense. If you don't want to marry it's not by force o

Does dependency really seem sexy to you?

I would find any lady depending on me totally a lot repulsive. There's that alluring feeling to people who can stand on their own. At least I know if i am away the kids have a more than capable hand to take care of things not a woman who would have to wait for me to come drop money for ordinary maggi. No one needs to even tell a lady to work nowadays. Income inequality, high inflation, chronic capitalism is already changing the narrative. Fact is around 80% of families would barely survive if the mothers weren't bringing in any sort of income be it through petty trading, blue or white collar jobs.

laudate:
You are so right! The sad thing is that, by the time they start having kids, the wife would get worse. Children are quick to pick up different habits, and they learn from what they see, and where they live. Growing up, we had to do chores alongside the maids and other family members. We also had to call them 'uncle' and 'aunty' as a sign of respect, and the fact that there was a maid in the house, was not an excuse for you to abdicate from your own share of the chores.

Seeing others around us treated with respect, dignity and politeness, made it compulsory for us to act the same way around those who worked with us. The result was that those who worked for us, stayed much longer (i.e. one even stayed for almost 10 years, and was given a bulk sum to establish a business on her departure), and offered us better services. Of course, there were a few exceptions to this rule. Some people who did not value good behaviour or manners, were let go very quickly, or found their way out of our place.

The wife needs a re-orientation and a change of her mindset. Courtesy costs little, and helps you get so much at the end, of the day.

I laugh when people treat those who prepare their food badly. I am sure most waitresses or maids would have spit into the foods of their owners. You hear stories of maids torturing kids and you think they are just that way ? Nope , the aggression you met on them is definitely passed on to your kids. Her influence is bad on the kids. You don't train kids that way . They catch onto those subtle unspoken actions and we wonder why we see entitled brats all around? They were nutured that way.

No matter how someone looks , they are providing you with a service and you aren't above them . You are both equal stakeholders and both need to be respected .

Gourdoinc:
(1) we value a submissive woman, most here aren't fans of the feminist type of woman. it's a total turn off.
(2) we value a woman who is domestically good, great cook, good home manager, great with kids etc.
.

No wonder we are replicating dumb kids in their millions . When you have a yes woman at home. The husband is the only brain thinking and making decisions when basic common sense shows that 2 heads thinking through a thing is better than one. If this was your understanding, men would go for articulate women not the dumb ones. Isn't it ironic that your partner is dumb and can't even hold a discussion without you spoonfeeding her and you call yourself a man? What does it do to your ego that you sleep and cuddle with someone who has no say or self esteem? Must be pretty depressing to be that man.

As for the second. Any grown up adult that cannot cook, clean after him or herself or do basic household chores like washing plates or cleaning up the environment is not fit to be called a functional human being. So if your idea of a good woman is one who does all the alabaru work while you cross your leg and watch TV then you need help. That's not African or whatever. You are a zombie. Maybe you are more manly than soldiers in sambisa who cook and clean up after themselves or they also take their wives to the battlefront to come help them lay their beds and clean their plates?

oyb:
you are still showing exactly what i am referring to.

thank you is not payment. it is common courtesy and a token of appreciation.

you think that because you have paid someone to fix your car , it is pointless to say thank you afterwards?
you clearly have no idea how business is done if you think transactions are about payment only.
a simple thank you/appreciation does wonders for business relationships. business, and life does not begin and end with respecting money and nothing else.

Money seems to trump many things for most Nigerians. I had to give back an item I was supposed to fix and had to lecture the guy on proper courtesy . In his own words, because he felt he was paying he had a right to run his mouth and funny enough I was doing it free of charge. Had to remind him even if he was paying the whole money in the world I wouldn't take disrespectful behavior .

it is a societal issue, go to restaurants and see how waitress are treated. Courtesy should not be based on anything . Everyone no matter what they do or where they are deserve that thank you.

See the ignorant set of people arguing against Private Unis. If I have someone who's seeking admission and funds aren't an issue. I would advise them to choose a private University or prolly any of those new generation state Universities that provide quality service and don't go on strike.

The number of years you spend languishing at home because of strike and the archaic style of teaching Public universities employ would do you not a single good.

While you are out there forming street pikin with your Public University education graduating at 27; a kid who attends a private University and finished high school at 16 is done with B.Sc by 20.

He enters the same job market as you; and while you are still a supervisor by the age of 35 he is already a manager at that age. Getting to supervisory role for you by 35 is even based on you getting the job in the first place because of age restrictions. Just take a look through most job adverts and see that graduate trainee or entry level positions require candidates to be less than 24 in almost all postings. That's when you know attending a public University and spending useless long years because of strike or a Lecturer with a snag with you delyaing you is actually short changing yourself.

Bede2u:
This topic should be screen grabbed. We shall use it to bury APC and Buhar in 2019 when that start complaining that low oil prices made them not to perform. They claim oil sold above $100 during GEJ regime, but they never say for how long it remained at that

Yeah Screen grabbed them the same way oil was @ $70-80/barrel as at 2014 and Okonjo was complaining bitterly about the FG not being able to pay salaries and needing external borrowing to fulfill such obligations while year on year inflation was just 8.4 per cent in comparison to now that inflation is almost 17%?


No one needs a brain surgeon to tell us how inept and cancerous GEJ was to the growth of the nation. All it takes is commonsense and facts.

Even as at $86/barrel in 2014 Okonjo was planning on sacking Federal workers.

zolapower:
God have mercy ,imagine a whole six years of her life being twarted because of pleasures of this world . Well God knows why dis happened . Maybe if she were to be in the outside world who knows she might have died,God must have kept her for this reason . I'm sure she has must have learnt a lot from the outside world

This is why things like this persists.

We always look for ways to bring God into everything. Wtf are you talking about ? God kept her in bondage so she couldn't have died? Like seriously? Why didn't the same God put her in a better place to shield her from this same death. You all lots talk like people are going to be immortal with God or something.

Questions we should be asking is...What has happened to that IPO? Nothing. What is his name? He is somewhere looking for the next victim. The next victim that can be you or your family member. Are you also going to ascribe such injustice to God?

Until we start punishing misdeeds and not leaving things to God the country would never ever ever get better. You do wrong and get the consequences of it.

agabusta:
I nominated some traffic wardens like 2 weeks ago. It didn't just start.

Not a good time to be alive. The ignorance reeking from posts and the Glee they exhibit while showing it says a lot about the kind of people around here. The traffic warden thing has been out for over 2 months sef.

No common sense or logical reasoning. There are lots of similarities between such people and Boko Haram. They just carry different name tags and geological locations. And these are the teeming youths the country is banking on to make progress? I laugh in Swahili.

Chuvin22:
Thanks.

Chances of me loosing was 2/3 [66.333333%]

Bro let me give yu one tip.

Don't let the odds guide you when making a bet? Its just there to trick you.

Lol I have one rule as regards betting.

The house always win. So except I own the company making such odds.....I would walk.

Chuvin22:
Make una dey cry.. Nah dis one concern me oh...

At least I dey sure say I go chop rice with turkey.

I don't discuss betting and gambling but that's an awful lot of risk to take statistically. 5k just to win 17k?

That's just like x3 of the money you placed when the chance of you loosing is like 99.9%. Anyways good luck.

BlackManta:
Our defence is poor and Klopp is not doing enough to fix it.

I agree that our team is a work in progress.
But the only progress i see is on the other side - the attack.

The progress is one sided.

Mane - 36,000,000
Salah- 35,000,000
Chamberlain - 35,000,000
Wijnaldum - 25,000,000
Keita - 45,000,000

Total - 140m

Meanwhile to fix our defence, klopp did this.

Matip - free transfer
Karuis - 4m
Klavan - 4m
Robertson - 10m

Total - 18m

I'm not suprised that the attack is so good but the defence is average.

Our team is progressing but top 4 will continue to be our ambition until Klopp does something about the defence.

Liverpool have money, we're not as rich as City but we have enough money to strenghten that defence.

If we dont do that.
Our attack will score plenty goals and our defence will leak everything.

I'll be satisfied with a top 4 finish.
I knew right from the start that our defence cant get us a single trophy.
Top 4 was the target all along but even now it looks dangerous and difficult with that poor defence.

Wijnaldum and Mane we're last season. Just Lukaku alone cost more than the cost of Mane,Salah, Firimio and Coutinho combined.

We can't go and buy players just for the sake of it. The problem of the defence is mostly lack of concentration and individual errors.. Just imagine they scored 3 goals in 4minutes. Two were individual errors. Even that ozil goal would have been saved if we had a De Gea.

Except maybe benching Lovren and buying two new CBs for cover and a world class goalkeeper that can can actually keep I don't see what we need to change in that defence.

We can evaluate our play better when the CBs get a good cover in a player like Keita. Most top teams have that 4 solidly covering their centre backs. But we don't. Henderson can't play there and Can isn't suitable for such role. Wijladum is actually an AM that was converted to a CM. All in all we can do better and Mark as a team. At least it seems we are btter marking set pieces nowadays.


Also have you forgotten all the dead weights he had to clear off first when he came. The likes of Allen, ibe and so on.

Dainikel:
its as sure as daybreak that he won't get past the QF that's assuming porto do not get the job done b4 then.

We would wait...shey no be home and away.

Let Porto come to Anfield and win first. Maybe you can start talking then.

BlackManta:
Guardiola and Klopp had the same problem last season.

Poor defence.

But while Guardiola spent nearly 200m to fix man city defence, Klopp has spent more than 150m on attackers and only 18m for defence (Klavan 4m, Karuis 4m and Robertson 10m).

That explains why klopp's 3rd season still has poor defence.

Obviously he cares more about attackers than defenders.

I remember during pre-season, he had the courage to open his mouth and claim that Liverpool does not need a new defender.

Shameful.

What do you expect from a coach that spent more than 150m on attackers and only 18m on defenders.

A good attack can win you matches but a good defence will get you trophies.

Oga go siddon. Which player has he spent 150million on? Aside Salah and ox which other player has he bought this season? Considering we sold Benteke and like 4 other players.

We don't have the bottomless pit of money that City has and aside that I prefer we build a team than buy one.

This team is still a work in progress and they are fairly young. As long as they play entertaining football and make top 4 for the next season. Most fans are fine with it. And don't forget we have Keita coming from red bull as a DMF which would solidify the defense.

openmine:
klopp go get van dirk asap...U need a leader in dat defence!

Mane needs to play more 4 d team Dan individual glory

Truth is ..Mane is spent and needs like a 3 game rest. He is overly selfish and prefers individually scoring than playing with the team. The defense is good just individual errors costing us because we play an highline. Gomes is just 20 and returning from a career wrecking injury. He could have done better though. What's with backing an attacking? That's like a primary School error.

Where we need extreme strengthening is in goalkeeping. I have never been convinced by Karius or Mingolet. Both have to go . Imagine Man United without De Gea. Or just imagine Man city still have Joe Hart in goal. Imagine the number of goals they would let in. Mingolet does not even know how to organize his defence which says a lot about him. We got him from Sunderland and just imagine where Sunderland are now. We won't win anything with him in goal. It's a fact.


I would have taken a draw at the start but given how arsenal were poor in the larger part of the game. We should have beaten them like 4-0 in the first half.

Rogosa:
As a muslim, can u pray wearing your shoe? or can you enter the place of prayer wearing your shoe?
My point is, we have code of conduct, rules and regulations. That is what you fail to understand. It is not part of the ethic to wear hijab for the ceremony. Does it make Buhari's daughter an infidel? Does it make her mate (from her school) an unbeliever?

I will take your bet! But I pray she win too.

For the record, Oranges and apples are fruit ooo

**** That's what logical people do not write articles with no facts but just personal and ignorance laced opinions. Is this what writing has been reduced to sef? SMH.

First. You would do well to read slowly. Since you can't seem to understand basic analogies as exposed by your poorly written response.. Let me help you with examples of things that contravene a human's basic rights as regards religion.

1. Jews don't take non kosher things so forcing them to eat pork would amount to an infringement of their rights to practice their religion. In countries where law works and to an extent citizens rights are upheld. It is simple and a no brainer.. Let me give you a real life example of this.

"Bruce Rich, an Orthodox Jewish prisoner in Florida, wanted kosher meals, but the warden said no.

So Rich sued the state prison system in 2010, saying its denial of a kosher menu violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, a landmark civil law rights law for inmates whose predecessor was the federal religious freedom law.

After losing before a magistrate, Rich won an appeal before the 11th Circuit Court, which cited "the defendant's meager efforts to explain why Florida's prisons are so different from the penal institutions that now provide kosher meals such that the plans adopted by those other institutions would not work in Florida."


2. Muslim women don't ever open their hair in public places. Forcing them to in a public function goes against their religious beliefs and is an infringement of their rights to practice their religion.

"The Supreme Court also recently affirmed the rights of job applicants who require a religious accommodation, ruling in favor of an applicant who wore a headscarf that would go against Abercrombie & Fitch’s “Look Policy." You can read the brief here.
https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/eeoc-v-abercrombie-fitch-amicus-brief

That's another example. Should I go on?

I don't need to go back and forth with anyone. This would be my last response as regards this issue. If you can't see the clear differences. Then I can't help you.

The law school is a public entity and not a private sorority club. They would do well to follow the principles and guidelines of the Constitution.

biacan:
The president daughter was been called to bar and she removed her Hijab.....tell me is fidaus more religious than her.....or did the president daughter disrespect her religion....?

When did the President's daughter become a yardstick for measuring religiousness?

And what has the personal views of his daughter got to do with this? She choose to remove it. That's her perogative. That another believes it goes against her rights as a Nigerian is another. When did the law become a thing of herd mentality?

nnokwa042:
let her go and study sharia don't know what she's doing with western education Until people will understand what is called taqiya in Koran they will stop giving in to Muslim blackmails, if they let this useless Muslim girl put on hijab tomorrow they will demand our court should adopt Koran next they will demand that sharia should be introduce in Lagos state ,if u don't want problems don't let Muslim in like Japan korea taiwn

As usual . Ignorance is the greatest disease that can afflict a man.

I bet you don't know Islamic law and jurisprudence is an accredited course in virtually all law schools in the country?

This writer seems silly. Every dick and harry calling themselves activists when all they do is write dumb articles without understanding the basic tenents of what activism is all about. Where was he when Kayode was been bullied by the law school?

He even looked comical stating that celestial church members should be allowed to not wear shoes for the call to bar. That is like comparing oranges to apples. Which exposes his lack of understanding of the issue. The hijab is an everyday wear for a Muslim woman and is to be adorned "everytime and everywhere" and not a ceremonial "I am going to my place of worship" once in a week thing. That is a huge difference. At least before you write an article get your basic facts right.


As regards the Firduas issue.

This should not be seen as a religious call but more of basic rights of a Nigerian. The Constitution which supercedes any useless laws/codes of the Law school geants the right to practice of religion in public and private without hindrance or fear to all citizens.

And by the way at what point would we stop dictating what people wear or not wear?

Women were not allowed to wear trousers in the US Congress not until 1963.

Women are not allowed to vote in most countries until recently.

Even till today women are not allowed to own properties in some places.

Women are not allowed to drive until recently in many countries and till now women are dictated to whether they should cover their hair or not for a 2 hour call to bar ceremony. Like wtf.

Of what Importance is the wig? Even the UK that we got it from is discarding that clownish thing and here we are carrying it on our head like a bag of kulikuli.

Set what ever uniform you want to set but people are allowed freedom to do whatever they want with other apparels same way you have graduation gowns and people wear whatever they want underneath it. Maybe when we start understanding what diversity means we would learn not to Lord over people who are different from us and dissipate more energy on simple things that just a mere application of commonsense would sort out.

I am sure she would sue them and I can bet 100% she would win it. Except the law school can prove they are not infringing on her universal rights to practice her religion.

Thank you West Ham. From a liverpool fan.

We can overthrow them from 3rd spot once we beat Everton black blue.

enabledgoddess:
I am ashamed for these self acclaimed educated Nigerians who dont have enough sense to tell the difference! you mean to tell me you read this ode and still think his neighbour was human?

That's not even the most cringy thing. We all make mistakes but ain't it pitiful that most can't swallow their pride and agree they made a mistake and apologize to the Op?

Instead they think we are 2yr olds and would want to tell us their initial outbursts was a "sacarsm" when we all know it wasn't. Let me check my dictionary and check the meaning. Might have changed. You never know.

darlingtonIIV:
Oh really, united have played spurs, liverpool and chelsea and have conceded just 1 goal

Conceded 1 goal playing 10-0-1. Just an injury to De Gea and you guys would be shipping in like 5 goals per game.
