Nice one!
Imagine the nonsense from those 'killer' transport company!
Just like someone said,this is an eye opener not just to other unlawful and unruly companies but to the uninformed citizens!
Instead of walking away and leave the person for God to judge as its always the case in Nigeria,seek a legal alternative and ensure they pay enough funds in terms of compensation for services not rendered!
The reason why companies in Nigeria carry themselves with so much impunity is because they have not been severely punished for their wrongdoing!

They were not DOMINANT......The DOMINANT revolution started with Pep. Before Pep, they managed to win the league on the final day and got to UCL semis. They were never favorite going into UCL until PEP came in

They started winning the league, breaking all manners of records under Pep. Almost turning the league into farmers league.

Under Mancini, they were good but not OUTSTANDING
The word 'dominant' is relative!
Besides,the argument is not about dominance but about who first gave the club the FIRST break through that was needed and that manager was mancini! Go and check the reply and follow up between me and the one i replied!
He was the first that started the revolution despite his style of play!
And he did that despite having to contend with then formidable teams like manutd,chelsea and arsenal!
secondly,Pep was never successful in the UCL until he finally managed to take them to the finals for the first time last season which they lost after unsuccessfully attempting to even get to the semis under pep!
Its even quite interesting that the manager whom you referred his current team as being dorminant cannot transfer such on the world stage aka UCL after several tries and humongous funds spent of star players!

No one is arguing that but the idea that Pep was the one that started everything at mancity is totally wrong!
Its like saying Pep was the one that transformed barca and then forget it was Frank Rijkaard who had won everything before leaving...Pep didnt even make much additions to that squad because it was already filled with stars!
No matter what you think about mancini's style of play,he was the first manager that brought a major success to mancity by winning their first EPL and making them to even have any kind of dream of attempting to win the UCL!
Saying they managed to win under mancini is unfair and at the same time laughable because they had to do so against a then formidable and resilient opponent in manutd under fergie that were on their faces till the final day!

You're right sir but you'd agree with me that man city back then were not as consistent as they are under pep today
They were actually consistent!
For the first time,they went to old trafford then and scored six against a very strong manutd team under Fergie!
Yes they were a bit consistent under pep for three reasons....one,unlike the other managers,he was given time to instill his pattern of play(which is normally rare considering the pressure from the owners to be successful instantly) which didn't really work out initially....secondly,He didnt really make a wholistic change in the team because there were already quality players and all that was needed was some additions to compliment or express his style of play!
lastly,he was brought in to win the UCL....which sadly has eluded him and the club for a while...!

It didn't take man city up to a decade. What they lacked was the right coach. The moment they brought in pep, he started winning titles within his first two seasons and he has consistently been in the top two of the league and they have been very competitive. Another example is Liverpool. After the brought in klopp, he instantly turned Liverpool around. They won champions league within his first two seasons and became a joy to watch. Same thing is happening at Barca with xavi. Same with tuchel at Chelsea. He transformed Chelsea within his first half season and even won champions league. And that's the problem with arsenal. If arteta was really good, it wouldn't have taken him this long to fix this team. His team is just wack and this arsenal team can't compete at the top level. They're just too inconsistent to win any title or compete at the top.
It was not really Pep that started the revolution for Mancity....Its was actually Roberto mancini that gave them the breakthrough and won them their first EPL which was won on the final day after Aguero scored that stoppage time winner!
Mancini was the first to bring in the fulcrum of players that pep benefitted from....pep simply made some quality additions without necessarily changing the entire team he inherited!
Mancity never looked back since then....It was their constant search for a UCL trophy that led the owners to dump or sack Mancini and Perlergini,who also won an EPL for mancity, and settled for Pep!

CrimeRe: Have You Ever Been Held At A Knife/Gun Point: Share Your Experiences by openmine(m): 1:05am On Mar 28, 2022
Came back from school after a stressful exam that fateful evening and mumsy sent me on an errand to purchase a cream from a supermarket nearby...followed a shortcut which was very close instead of stressfully going round..when i followed that same path to return home, two guys forced me to stop with one threatening to shoot me by pointing a gun to my head and the other was trying to search my pockets for money...!
I was calm and didn't even make any move!
When it was obvious that i had no money except a waterproof that contained the cream that was still in my possession, he disappointingly asked me why i had no money with me and grudgingly let me go telling his criminal colleague that 'this one na bad market' grin grin
When i got home,so many thoughts flooded my head like what if that guy who was pointing the gun had mistakenly pushed the trigger!
Well Na God sha! cool cool

FamilyRe: Kanedrick Kingsley Agwu Breaks Down As DNA Reveals He Didn’t Father Two Children by openmine(m): 4:18pm On Mar 26, 2022
uncleck:
Women date who they love but marry who is ready. Consequently, they will always knack who they love. Unfortunately, paternity fraud will never stop.

Let me advice single men. Don't marry a woman just because you're ready for marriage. Don't entice a woman to dump who she loves by impressing her with material things. One day she must link back to her root.

Make out time, get your soulmate, date her, spend time with her, grow with her and make her your friend before you marry her. Don't rush, there is no medal for who first marry.

Life after marriage is too busy to allow couple bond properly. Caring for young ones, keeping the home and the pressure to meet up financially make it difficult for you to keep an eye on your partner
True!

RomanceRe: Why Are There So Many Single Guys At Over 30? by openmine(m): 2:33pm On Mar 26, 2022
AfroKnight:
For those naija men outside naija, it’s because they think too much and are afraid to love a woman who would use the system to defraud them legally.

For those in naija, it’s for a number of reasons. Naija babes are not loyal. They always lookout for themselves first. Once your usefulness in their lives end, they end the relationship/marriage. Men are trying to avoid that, so they remain single and opt for babymama arrangement if they need kids.

It may also be because the men intend to relocate abroad and they would rather not take their nemesis along. So they resign to a single life.

Thirdly, it could be that some men want to solve certain economic/financial issues before adding the responsibilities of a wife to the load they carry.

Everything here points to the prevalent fact that young Nigerian women do not carry their own weight. Once you ask them out, it’s like they open a ledger for you as a debtor. They use you for your resources then demand to be treated like an equal. Lol. Men are tired of slaving for women.

You see single and even married women online openly asking for trips, perks, gifts and money. It’s almost like every man owes them. You never know who is going to use his money to trigger your wife’s release clause. grin Even the faithful ones think they must be rewarded with marriage for standing by you while you were struggling. Why would any sane man want to marry such a woman who thinks she’s entitled to his possessions just because she was present while he was struggling without even contributing tangibly to his progress?

So unbalanced.

If marriage was such a sweet deal, more men would embrace it. Many of those who are married were pressured by their parents to get married or were young and blinded by initial infatuation which later faded away and revealed the true nature of their wives.

Women have turned this marriage thing into a punishment for men. It shouldn’t be so.

Men are the ones truly settling down. They settle and put up with broke, unworthy women who offer nothing but drama and the possibility of paternity fraud and strife in a family that was fine until the man brought in a wife.

Marriage should be sweet but naija women fail to realise that both partners MUST contribute to a happy marriage, not just the man.

You are a terrible human being. She’s not good enough to be a wife yet you kept stringing her along. You should have called it off a long long time ago, but no you had to wait 3 years to do that. Confronting her the way you did about marrying someone else is very low of you.

You are right but she deserves to be told to move on. You don't just dump someone you've dated for 5yrs without giving her the courtesy of knowing your next move. It's not by force to marry her but he is wicked for hanging her on the limbo just like that. She got to know she has been dumped on social media for fucck sake. The hurt, the humiliation and the self guilt she is passing through right now is not what one should wish even an enemy. She is already asking herself what she did wrong. No matter how terrible she has been to the man, she deserves to know the man's next move and not just see his wedding IV on facebook after lying that his wife to be was his cousin. That's mean, brother man, that's mean. I may not be a fan of her gender but that doesn't mean I'm a monster. Nigga did her real bad and his action ought to be condemned.

The two views are totally distinct
Check the first view,you will notice it was viewed in a near vertical vantage point while the one of lukaku was viewed from a position where lukaku seemed onside until a vertical view which is a more accurate view was used to rule him offside!
This is the same thing with the jota goal....when the first view was shown,I instantly said jota was offside but when a more vertical view was taken,I changed my mind!

I think the best thing is for states to be empowered to generating, transmitting and distributing their own power to serve their own people instead of this outdated national grid!
Imagine a south south state where the gas is coming from cannot even boast of 4 hours power in a day!

There are private companies that are capable and ready to build the generating plant but because of a constitution that says a generating capacity that exceeds one mega watts must be transferred to the national grid!

I just hope the amended power bill is finally signed by the president so that we can know who to hold responsible!

In 2022,we are still paying more for 'darkness'! Smh!
