But yar’adua did it and it worked. If I become President I will just call all the northern elites and tell them to stop their brothers and after that if I hear pim again I will contact vlad and we respond with ORESHNIK that’s 4,000 degree centigrate

Because the demand of Niger delta militants were met, reason the Yar'adua amnesty was accepted. Can Obi meet the demands of the Boko haram terrorist through negotiation?
Those who voted for him on religious grounds in 2023 should begin to worry now after hearing this statement.
Obi has forgotten Makinde will be on the ballot, another 'competitor' to share his Christian votes..

When are they going interview this Kelechi with no surname?
We have heard the confessions of the other gang members and the one that refused to talk.

Police don kpai Kelechi during the rescue operation.

Oyo state, the pacesetter state..

A Turkish Fan Yesterday.

He is a Besiktas fan, and according to comments from Turkey, that is how he attends matches, including the matches of the team he supports. Likely Osimhen admirer.

Officially, there were no geopolitical zones in 1993. Looking more closely at the state by state results, it is interesting to note that Abiola won in Anambra State but lost in Kogi State.

Some of you guys can't seem to understand that there are levels to football. If Nigeria's Super Eagles are serious about winning the AFCON or perhaps making a deep run in the 2030 World Cup, a player like Semi Ajayi needs to be weeded out of the team. I have nothing against Semi Ajayi; he has represented his country well and, to be honest with you, has performed better than significantly more talented players in that position. There are levels to this game, mate. Did you even watch the South Korea game yesterday? Did you not see how every single South Korean player on that team was completely comfortable on the ball and could run and advance with the ball and how they all could thread the ball comfortably to the midfielders without aimlessly booting the ball down the field? Semi Ajayi is not a ball-playing defender, and every time he gets the ball, he simply does not have the ability to comfortably carry the ball and thread in a pass to a midfielder. Go back and watch Nigeria vs. Morocco and see how the Moroccan coach specifically tasked his players to press hard against Nigeria every time the ball goes to Semi Ajayi. Benjamin Fedricks, Emmnuel Fernandez, and Chibuike Nwaiwu are ball-playing defenders. These are the kind of players that take a team to a different level because they can advance with the ball and they can thread a pass to a midfielder in behind a hard press. This is the reason Emmanuel Fernandes is attracting interest from Dortmund; Benjamin Fredricks will soon be a starter at Brentford and Bayer. Laverkusen submitted 20 million euros for Nwaiwu, which Trabzonspor rejected. Seyi Ajayi has done well for Nigeria, but he is a limited player, and there are levels to this game, mate. If Nigeria wants to get back to the levels we were in in the 90s, players like Semi Ajayi and Sanusi should be thanked for their services and retired from the national team. Good guys but are simply limited players.

A player who has played as a CB, RB, and DM cannot be called a limited player.

AMINDA:
Okay, let's address your ignorance one by one. In 2023, Binani was the APC candidate in Adamawa. Her leaving the APC is a loss for Tinubu. In 2023, Babachir Lawal left APC due to Tinubu's muslim-muslim ticket and supported Obi. That he temporarily joined the ADC coalition does not mean he's an Atiku ally. He has never voted for Atiku. As for Okowa, granted he's now in APC but he didn't deliver his state to Atiku as an incumbent governor and Vice presidential candidate. Obi won Delta. If Deltans didn't vote Okowa despite being a VP candidate, what will Tinubu promise them that will make them vote him in 2027?

Okowa is still a loss. Atiku will never get the numbers Okowa delivered for him in 2023 in the 2027 election in Delta state. What about Adeleke? He delivered Osun to Atiku. Can we boldly say that Atiku will win Osun in 2027?
How about the PDP governors? None again, that is also a loss.

garykoeman:


He has not lost a voters from his 6.9m

But he has lost his vp in 2023, lost babachair lawal, lost binani, lost the adamawa gov.


The list keeps getting longer.

Not only Adamawa Governor but all the PDP Governors.

MadPolitician:
Where will Amechi get the votes for Atiku The north? The South West?
Dude cant even win Obia Akpor Localgovernment, so from where will the votes come from!?
From Rivers state? Wike will rather commit suicide than allow him win a single local government.

From the South East?
He shot himself in the foot when he loquaciously denied the zone the other day because he thought that in these days of APCs sectional anti-igbo politics, that was the right thing to do.

The South South?
No one at Edo, Delta, Cross Rivers or Bayelsa will listen to him. Dude is not even popular in the South South.
So where will the votes come from?
Amechi is nothing but a power hungry interloper who thinks that because he has managed to siphone billions from government coffers, he can now use such resources to hyjack federal power.
It won't work!

The choice is about the money needed to finance the campaign. Amaechi has deep pockets. When Governor Makinde heard 10 billion Naira, he took to his heels.

Image123:
What a crass way of thinking, coming from a well documented fail. We qualified for tournaments in 1994-1998 in spite of all, not because we had great national leaders.
Not sure any previous government has kept promises to our footballers as much as the current one.

Correct. He was a governor for 8 years, every criticism he makes today will be measured against how he led and performed when he was in power

Apart from Benjamin and Akor, Chelle has not really introduced any new players into the starting 11 in competitive matches. He is still largely relying on the players he inherited from Peseiro. He is gradually building his own team, and hopefully he gives his newly discovered players a chance in the starting 11 when the AFCON qualifiers begin in September. He should also consider retiring a few of the players who have nothing to offer to the team again.

A fair result against a world class team playing in front of their home fans.

Akinsanmiro to remain at Pisa FC permanently

I now understand the business of contesting elections every election cycle. It is pure business, whether you win the election or not. There is cash flow from donations, bribes etc
Imagine the allegation by Okonkwo against Peter Obi, 10 million and 20 million naira respectively per aspirant as bribes? Massive.
Remember Fayose's claim that Atiku demanded 10 billion naira from Governor Makinde. Election season seems to be cash out season.

Football na ponzi scheme.

AIK signed Zadok for €750000 in July 2025 and are selling less than a year later for €28m. Very astute business for AIK.

I hope Ikom Allah Football Academy inserted a sell on clause when they sold him to AIK and are benefitting from this deal.

Best of luck and success to our new Super Eagle.

Widely reported figure was €200,000

daveP:
Should be 5 and 7. I don't think it's more than 7 for Salah.

Actually more than 7 if they had counted European club competitions for him, as they did for mikel, and arrived at 11

Another centre back player

Famous606:
how is it makinde fault is he the one incharge of waec ,for your information waec is a body on its own you should channel your anger to the council not to Makinde

But WAEC cannot provide electricity for schools. Many states are even owing the examination body.

List of Africa's most decorated EPL based Players Trophy haul

Didier Drogba: 14
Riyad Mahrez: 12
John Obi Mikel: 11
Yaya Touré: 8
Nwankwo Kanu: 6
Kolo Touré: 6
Mohamed Salah: 7



It is currently hard for any Super Eagles player to dare play for a top 6 EPL team, talk less, top 4.


The two Nigerians that did this did it for London clubs(Chelsea and Arsenal)


If we want to see a repeat of these Nigerian numbers, then one SE player has to not just break into a top 4 team, they must become an integral part across at least 5 seasons without change of managers ending their relevance to the team. That's the standard.


I saw a list of the trophy wins of SE Players across their respective leagues this ended season of 25/26 and my throat got dry. Taye Taiwo na Marseille Legend but none of the SE defenders fit get top club to enterand unseat the player in the position. Na soso mistable clubs or nontop 5 league football.


What's Cypriot League sef? 😤😤

Whatever excuse will be cooked, we need to see SE players back at the top with EPL teams abeg. To not make it an only EPL team, make i add French join.

Salah won more than 7. How about Salomon Kalou and Michael Essien?

Brighton is still the best for him.

TheSuperNerd:
Okoye's double save and 1v1 stop after Zaidu's ridiculous backpass will always live rent free in my head. He was really brilliant vs Poland.
It's just unfortunate that Misniewski's strike will also not be forgotten. That is the kind of strike that leaves its mark or dent on a GK's performance. Up to him to learn from it.

Also, against Russia last year, he did very well. I believe those criticising are just mad at him because of the time the goal was conceded, 5 seconds to the end of the match, quite painful.

Karlovich:
You mean this same Paul Scholes shot that hit the post, Enyeama never got his hand on it. The way some of you talk make it seem like Okoye is Onana.

It might surprise you to know that Nwabali hasn't faced any European team as SE goalkeeper, only Mexico with home based side where he conceded 4 and Jamaica are the only non African sides he has faced as SE goalkeeper,

I mean against players that can hammer such on-target shots from outside the 18 yard box and long distances.

Arsenal's goalkeeper is one of the best in the world at the moment but you should go and watch the goal he conceded against Cunha and Szoboslai

You all need to chill.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_5T5nB2tyU

It was goal bound before Enyeama used his right hand to tip the ball onto the goal post. It was even a debate then on why using right hand instead of the left hand to tip the ball when the shot was played to his left side.

Let me agree with those saying Nwabali would have saved the long range shot. But could he have also saved the close range chances and the one-on-one with Lewandowski?

minfelix:
that one na from side freekick….this kind straight shot wey beat Okoye, enyeama go punch am troway clean clean

Agreed. I still remember the shot by Paul Scholes that he saved at the 2002 World Cup.

Moniter0:
will Nwabali save those close range shots that Okoye saved?

The same Nwabali who put us all on our toes against Tunisia, same against Lesotho in South Africa

minfelix:
I love Okoye’s performance, but God can you help us put in the spirit of Enyeama in our keepers?😭😭🥺🥺…just 10seconds to go ooooo…
na those kind balls enyeama dey use shine..reminds me of Paul Scholes shot at 2002 world cup England vs Nigeria….and all those dirty curlers from Messi at 2010 world cup….

Okoye did not position himself well for that shot🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Not Messi free kick in 2014 world cup 3rd group match against Argentina..na look Enyeama look the ball enter net..lol

Nonetheless, the goalkeeper tried. He seldom keeps a clean sheet for Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, Chelsea are in. But it is only because they are trying to cut off the middlemen and get a talent that will cost mega millions in a few seasons. Their plan no go work.

They have an army of U21s they have not given chances. Zadok and his reps wont head there surely.

Chelsea can return and line up other elite clubs when Zadok is worth 75 or 95million.

Oh, Chelsea in the race? Haha...
They don't want to go back to Brighton later and buy the player at an exorbitant price, just like they did with:

Moises Caicedo
Marc Cucurella
Robert Sánchez
Joao Pedro



Just kidding

TheSuperNerd:
Saw this earlier today but needed to confirm it and Anel Avdic has done just that.

Newcastle Utd joins the race (trying to hijack from Brighton, Leipzig withdrew due to bidding war)..... 24-25Million Euros + rumored extra 5M (performance related) on the table for Zadok Yohanna


https://x.com/i/status/2062173826595647996

Florian Plettenberg just reported about the Newcastle interest now.

Subzero047:
Adingra was comfortably cooking Aina at the Nations cup when he made the move they are not on similar levels

Adingra was already Brighton player during the 2023 AFCON (played in 2024).



Nerd already replied..didn't see his comment before I made mine..

zoboizee:
It is just to balance the books. He won't even have 5 starts at Brighton. Dude is not EPL quality. He has heavy first touch, not quick enough and he is very light to contest with EPL defenders. Onyekuru that was far better than him didn't make it not to talk of Chukwueze limited appearances at Fulham.

The same Brighton made similar signing with Simon Adingra and it worked out.

It seems there is no RB among the players in camp.
