…wants Shettima, Baba-Ahmed barred as VP candidates, joins Okupe, Masari, LP in suit
• We’ll respond to PDP, says LP’s lawyer
• We’re aware of the suit – Tinubu’s legal team

https://punchng.com/pdp-sues-inec-apc-seeks-obi-tinubus-disqualification/

For there to be a substitution of a candidate, the vice-presidential candidate must write to the INEC, with an affidavit stating that he is withdrawing from the race within the time frame provided by the law, as that is the only way there can be a substitution of candidates.”

The VP of the affected parties have written to INEC and expressed the desire to withdraw from the race!
This lawsuit is dead on arrival

I actually thought that for a personality like sowore who had once contested in the general election and got some handsome votes,his current strategy should have been selling to citizens all over the country his economic and security plan in a nutshell instead of trying so hard to demarket his opponents on social media!
Well I wish him well but with this path he has taken,he won't even exceed the votes he got in the last election!

Jodera:
I mean, it's is simple.

No be everything Wikipedia dey tell person. Follow up on fans, players and all will tell the real story

Walahi i tire ohh
I am even shocked that he is relying on wiki to tell him about Merseyside derby...!

mikuz:
I don't see the rivalry you guys are talking about here. Wikipedia already rubbished all that by calling it THE FRIENDLY DERBY.

So wikipedia will tell you what Merseyside derby rivalry means between two soccer neighbors?
Why not make your inquires on social media in an LFC group based in UK and you will see the results!

mikuz:
Someone is telling me that Liverpool v Everton is the biggest Liverpool game in the premier league.
I'm dreaming.

That's your choice...some may feel that way but I can tell you for a fact that the average LFC fans that's in the majority and reside in Liverpool city rate their derby games as a priority win for LFC players and coaches!
In fact LFC fans rates their managers both present and former based on their performance in derby games!

mikuz:
Because of history, environment and domestic fans.

Different strokes for different folks bro!
One man's delicacy another man's poison!

Jodera:
Lol... Nothing equates to trophies, so that comparison doesn't match. But if they're to lose any match between the two, Even the players will know losing against tottenham is not an option.

Moreover, I'm not personally talking about me but the domestic fans who carry it personal and which in turn create the tension for the players to find themselves in such situation. They're the one that creates the atmosphere for that rivalry to thrive

See Richarlison, he 'hates' Liverpool. On many occasions he had tried infuriating them their fans and even on pitch. He even joked about it that it's because of the culture and how Evertonian fans have dislike for Liverpool fans.

Do you know that there's a day called St Totteringham's day that arsenal fans in England always celebrate? A day in which it's mathematically impossible for tottenham to finish above arsenal.

Me and you residing in Nigeria ( or any part of the world not England) might not know the full impact on that rivalry because we are faraway, but the players and fans knows how hot and heated it's always before the match. If you're really following int'l forums of your club, you'll know all these things I'm saying.

U r absolutely right!
A loss to manutd will not be as painful as the loss to Everton!

mikuz:
Underdogs will always celebrate when they win. We all saw how Aston Villa celebrated when they beat us. So you expect Chelsea to celebrate and pop champagne when they beat Fulham?

Not necessarily!
Its been a while since they beat us esp at anfield and a rare victory was worthy celebrating so I can understand not because of their underdog status according to you!
When it comes to Arch rival games,there are no underdogs....last two seasons,Man city had better players than manutd and were on fire yet manutd beat them home and away...Chelsea last season were far better than arsenal but when they met at Stanford bridge, arsenal beat them.... There are no small games when it comes to rivalry esp neighbours!
I would be happy and elated if we did a double against Everton because they are our next door neighbours plus consistent bragging rights!

Jodera:
Lol.... You suppose follow am so that you fit bring am out alive.

The way everybody been dey vex for that thread last season eh, you go know say wetin your comrade talk about Man u finishing 6th na blasphemy

No manutd fan go ever say last season make sense...in fact if not for ororo goals,dem for dey drag 13th with Leicester city and Aston villa!
Season way make dem enter europa

Jodera:
Lol, Man u and Liverpool rivalry is just because of how strong both team were— like mostly top 2 winnin/vying for the available trophies. Give it 10yrs from now and if man u is still average the way they are while you guys are strong the way you are presently, nobody will ever hear of Man u — Liverpool rivalry again. Highest it'll shift to Man city— Liverpool rivalry. This is different from Liverpool's rivalry with Everton that it's deeply ingrained in the fabric of the rivalry. Come rain come sunshine, Liverpool—everton rivalry will always exist maybe until one of them relegates. Same thing applies to Athletico—Madrid rivalry.

In fact, lemme ask your fellow comrades.

Which rivalry presently is the fiercest rivalry between the two. That is the rivalry that both Liverpool fans in England and Liverpool players take more seriously?


Liverpool—Everton or Liverpool— Man u

Capdan21, Openmine, Anfieldfan, Minemerys.

Omoh Na Everton ohh
Even Manutd will jubilate as if they won a title if they beat man city
During the covid19 season when Everton beat LFC at anfield with no crowd,they celebrated the win with champagne in their dressing room!
Even arsenal celebrated joyously when they won Chelsea at Stanford bridge last season!
Even PlayStation PES will make Everton strong like man city when they play Liverpool
Well different strokes for different folks!
I am suspecting he made a bet that's why he is overly paranoid with d loss!

As the state is now getting 20 billion Naira in monthly allocation, he and his friends, family, relations and local government people are now swimming in money, building houses everywhere and other personal acquisitions with his Igbo friends. Now, Diri keeps quiet about this and still maintains the impression that there is no money and that he is paying huge debts when everybody knows that the former governor left Bayelsa as the least indebted state in the south.

Everyone in bayelsa knows that when Dickson was about leaving,he emptied the treasury and only left behind 34k while owing up to 60% of workers salaries!
This is no news...They are all the same people whether Dickson or Diri!
This paid group obviously sponsored by Dickson is only trying to make this complaint to force Diri to part with more money for dickson's boys using the media!
They are all the same...no difference!
Bayelsa deserves a better leader without the usual APC and PDP tag!

Maxymilliano:
Prof Tam David West said more than this and even went ahead to declare that PMS pump price could dropped as low as 40/liter once Buhari is voted in.

We are all witness to the calamity he turned out to be. May affliction not arise the second time.

Where is that prof now sef?
He has gone into hiding!

Jodera:
Lol... No talk this blasphemy near any Man u fan sha. You fit receive 2by2 for head.

Think I'm joking? Type exact same thing in Man u thread let's see the outcome

I nor follow ohh

BlaqFaze:
Boss na you get time to dey argue

No vex nah...i am trying to express my sincere sympathy on our fellow LFC comrade betting loss!

mikuz:
Show me a season in the EPL in the past ten years where the champions were humiliated by a 4 goal margin in pre season

Thats not the bone of contention!
Dont get paranoid over a pre season friendly no matter the opponent!
Know this and know peace!

mikuz:
We are talking about Man Utd v Liverpool and you still dey mention their games against QPR and Napoli. Who cares about the result of dead rubber friendly games. Are QPR and Napoli their arch rivals.

Lets not deviate oga
I only showed you that pre season friendly matches no matter the opponent can never determine the performance of LFC or any club in the upcoming season!
I used QPR and Napoli as instances to prove you can beat the best teams in friendlies but that will not translate to a successful season and no QPR and Napoli are not archrivals!

mikuz:
I ve challenged you to show me a pre season were we got demolished by a big EPL in pre season and later went ahead to win the league or challenge for the title.

There is no point challenging me about this because that is not the bone of contention!
Like i explained earlier whether LFC engage a manutd or chelsea or even mancity in a pre season friendly,klopp attaches no desire to win or even make an attempt and most LFC fans know this....He uses those games for something else other than winning!

I would advise that you do not attach any form of emotions in our upcoming or subsequent pre season friendlies to avoid stories that touch
Know this and know peace!

Why is the president outsourcing his responsibilities to an outsider?
Why can he just call the ASUU members and talk to them?
Chai failure personified!
And what was stopping BAT from mediating before he became APC presidential candidate?
Well they know who they can easily hoodwink!

This is hilarious!

BlaqFaze:
The guy dey behave like football illiterate...Napoli trash Bayern 3-0 for preseason last year...Salzburg beat Barca last year and so many other crazy scorelines

Pre season friendly is a platform where a 5th division team in Italian league can beat Juventus 4-0 or where Almeria is allowed to beat Barca 4-0
I am suspecting he may have gambled with 300k for an LFC win...thats why he feels pained!
When i first saw the LFC lineup and that of manutd,i already knew we would be beaten....I just laughed and said this klopp don start again

mikuz:
Correction : One match we got destroyed and rraped by our arch rivals. It's one thing to lose a match and it's another thing to get decapitated by your biggest opponent. Any match between these two clubs can never be regarded as dead rubber even if it's played in pre pre season or inside Russian-Ukranian war. Make Thailand people catch you calling a match they paid dearly for a dead rubber game. Did you know that the ticket for that match was more expensive than that of the champions league final? OK.

You are taking pandol for another person's headache!
That is why i said you are the supporter and he is the manager!
His job is to use friendlies no matter the opponent as a platform to finetune his formation,build form and fitness!
If you know Klopp very well,he doesnt care about archrivalry in a friendly match...for him,its another game to make all the mistakes from players!
You are here breaking your head ontop a friendly game while the players have already enjoyed correct thailand food,took a flight to another city in thailand and now training for the next pre season game against crystal palace...No time!

mikuz:
You are even driving my point home with those matches you posted cos I was expecting you to show me how Liverpool lost 4 0 in pre season in the last five years against a big time and still won a major trophy. None of those matches were as important as the Man Utd game yet they didn't get cremated. Are you saying that Liverpool should take a match against Tranmare more serious than a Man Utd that the fans paid heavily to watch. Thailand fans paid through their noses to attend the match only to watch their team get incinerated by their biggest rivals. Imagine paying N300k to go watch Liverpool play against Man Utd at the national stadium and they lose emphatically.

But LFC got beaten by Napoli 3-0 or did you skip that one?
I am only trying to show you that no matter a teams performance in the pre season friendlies,it counts for nothing...If you like win mancity 10-0 or beat Madrid 7-0....If you think that would imply that you have won the league or can win the UCL,then you are highly mistaken because that same club you walloped in the pre season will be a different team in a competitive game like EPL or UCL...

LFC won a then 3rd division tranmere rovers 6-0 with kids like woodburn and clarke.....shoe get size nah...
Okay Championship side QPR beat manutd 4-2 in preseason,they did not gain promotion to the EPL but ended 11th position last season...Did the friendlies have any effect?
Every manager knows that any pre season friendly result against any opponent have no significance on a proper competition...Know this and know peace!

Lastly,your last statements are hilarious!
The fans i see now on TV cheering the LFC players as the players get to their hostels dont look like what you described....This is what we call in politics FAKE NEWS unless you are referring to yourself or subtly trying to say you gambled with 300k for LFC to win manutd in a friendly...If i am right about the latter then accept my sincere sympathy

mikuz:
None of these matches carry the same weight as the Man Utd Liverpool game. So what point are you making here? Friendlies are not important yet all the teams they beat did not outperform the season in the season in question. Chelsea reached two finals and Champions League semi final and came third in the league. How do you explain that?

Did it enable them win the EPL or UCL or other domestic cups...yes or no?
Since its paining you that we lost to an archrival in a friendly,go and shot Klopp make we rest!

mikuz:
Man Utd finished 6th, what was Evertons position again. What is the relevance of beating me home and away if I ended up finishing above you in the league?
The Man Utd Everton game even drives my point further. They lost emphatically in pre season against this same Man Utd and they ended up fighting relegation throughout the season. Another much better Merseyside team has lost against to the same Man Utd side by same scoreline and you no dey see anything.

Good!
Since Manutd had a good pre season of which they won everton 4-0...one would have expected them to win every match in the EPL or UCL or even compete in the domestic trophies...but did they?
You said they finished 6th...thats like trying to cut them some slack....they had a horrendous season...One of the worse seasons ever for manutd and if not for the goals from Ronaldo and pretenders around them,they would have finished 10th or 13th all thanks to gloating over impressive pre season friendlies!

Nice crowd...The governorship candidate may not win but he will definitely get decent votes which will be encouraging for the progress and popularity of the Labour Party come 2023!
Nigerians need an alternative to APC and PDP that have scandalously and recklessly failed and destroyed the country consistently!

mikuz:
I know why teams engage in friendlies but is there a law that says you can't build players fitness without getting whitewashed? Must you lose massively in the name of testing fitness? Testing fitness doesn't involve defending well or scoring goals abi. You just run around with the ball for 90 minutes and every other thing doesn't not matter and it's irrelevant.

What is even your own assessment of fitness testing? I think Man U or Chelsea won 200% of their pre season last season but whitewashing big clubs like us? Yes? Give us the fixtures of Man U and Chelsea's pre season matches last term make we compare notes abeg.
The big question is did Liverpool get thrashed and demolished like this during last season pre season? The fact that we got decimated by our biggest rivals whether pre season or not and you are not concerned means that you are missing the big picture.

Now let me show you Chelsea and manutd preseason friendlies.....Interestingly,Manutd beat Everton with the same scoreline as the game against Liverpool in the preseason friendly yesterday but when it came to the important games like the EPL,Manutd drew at home and lost at Everton
Oga friendlies no dey give u trophies!
Just incase you are in doubt check flashscore dot com

Only one friendly we lost and you are hyperventilating!

Thank God you are not a manager!
Let me give you results of the Liverpool pre season friendlies before the season that they won trophies to show you klopp uses the matches to not only build the fitness of players but know who will finally make the main team and who will either go on loan or stay in the second team....

1.The pre season friendlies before the just concluded EPL that we won domestic cups and narrowly lost the EPL and UCL!
2.The pre season friendlies before the 2019 season where we won our elusive EPL...pay close attention to the friendly we lost to Napoli...i am very sure you would have concluded LFC would end the EPL season in the middle

mikuz:
More excuses, so because we used 11 different players in 30 minutes we should be leaking goals left right and centre.
See, losing is one thing but losing 4-0 is another thing my brother. It's a cause for concern that we got demolished, it's not nice that you are not seeing that.

You are entitled to your opinion and i will gladly respect that!
Manutd won a 100% of their pre season friendlies last season and yet had their worse performance in the EPL till date!
Chelsea won 80% of the pre season friendlies and yet managed to hang on to third despite their strong performance last season!
Liverpool have so far not had up to 80% wins in their pre season under Klopp and yet they have won everything!
Since you take so much grief about our loss to manutd,let me make a simple inquiry...what is the importance of the friendly?
Is there a relevant trophy to be won?
Will it give manutd a free pass to the UCL?
Will it automatically win them an EPL?
Pre season friendlies serves as a platform to give both clubs a chance to build the fitness of their players for the upcoming EPL season!
Anyone who makes the mistake of taking friendlies seriously is on their own!
Learn to choose your battles properly and prudently!

NaijaRoyalty:
Tinubu is an international drug cartel criminal

He was cleared because he bargained to let go of all the money he made from the drug business and forfeit them to the U.S government

We will make a thread on that so Nigerians will know how hardened of a criminal idiot that Tinubu is..

Chai una wan kukuma kill him supporters?
Too much vawulence for a day

With your position in the forum, you are not suppose to always taking side in every issue.

True!

mikuz:
Don't mind them, as if Man U did not test the waters, I didn't know that the law in Thailand says Man Utd is not allowed to test new players, only Liverpool can do that so thats why they got demolished.

Liverpool could have been beaten by any club they played against yesterday because its a friendly and ten Haag even warned his players not to even overrate themselves or allow the scoreline flatter them esp considering their opponents used 11 different players for a 30 min interval!

BlaqFaze:
Naim make dem dey Europa

Guyman its too early for vawulence nah

mikuz:
How can you test player fitness with Man Utd?

Oga do not get yourself worked up over the loss!
Its a friendly game like any other friendlies we will be engaging whether its a manutd or mancity!
The idea is to get as much minutes as possible for every player in order to create understanding and cohesion!

I see lots of positives esp from Fabio!
What that kid will do in the prem will make Fulham regret not putting more money on his transfer fee!
