Which one be smashing success?

It's either successful or not.

If you check well, you'll see that it wasn't as successful as they claimed.

Probably as successful as the moon landing.

SportsRe: Ronaldo, Benzema, Cristiano: Start One, Bench One, Sell One by optimusprime2(m):
Johnson225:
Start R9, Bench benzema and sell Christiano asap, before he brings toxicity to my team cheesy cheesy
I hope you are joking? Because we are talking about prime forms...
And Prime CR7 was far too versatile to ignore, he was "the complete attacker" he basically had everything;
Speed (Prime Ronaldo was a total speed merchant... even now at 38 he is still quite fast for his age)

Dribbling (There is a reason he and Messi have always been directly compared, hence the rivalry... Quote me anywhere; Prime CR7 is the only player of the modern era that can be compared side by side to prime Messi in terms of dribbling & we all know Messi's dribbling reputation)

Aerial prowess (Please, Please and Please go through the goals this guy scored with his head and ask if headed goals could be any perfect)

Left foot (Have people forgotten so soon he is both footed)

Right foot (although he claims the right is his stronger foot)

Technique (He invented the CR7 chop in the premier league, only Zidane, Ronaldinho and Okocha are credited with inventing nouvelle techniques in modern day football)

Long range shooting (Do you remember his Puskas award?)

Physicality (Asides his strength & amazing game stamina, lets appreciate how this guy despite his style of play never got permanently injured... especially in the English Premier League)

Free kicks (He reinvented the knuckle ball technique and boyyy was prime CR7 just so good at it... if only striking crossbars could count as goals)

Penalties (We all know about this gift of his... He even got nick-named for scoring Penalties)

Finishing (cemented as the greatest goal scorers of all time yet, with this attribute of his... you can bet 95% in any game he features, he will finish a good pass- ask Ozil)

Positioning (every footballer knows it takes a natural instinct to be good at Positioning & CR7 is known for being at the right place at the right time... even till now)

Crossings/passing (he started as a winger so naturally this was his thing)

Infact, How many people forget prime CR7 was not even a striker to begin with?

Even prime R9, who although an absolute beast, was not considered a complete attacker (because he was not really an aerial threat). Although R9 remains the best #9 I have ever seen. His sheer Physicality, Finishing, Dribbling, Speed and technique was legendary.

Prime Benzema was basically "a budget R9" so the question is actually, who starts first CR7 or R9... Benz is definitely not in this picture.

#Modified: Players like CR7 are a very rare breed... we have been truly privileged to witness that fine specimen of an athlete grace the stage in his prime. Keeping all the Messi/Ronaldo rivalry aside... CR7 is a legend.
CelebritiesRe: "This Stupid Abokis" Peter Of Psquare Gets Called Out For Insulting A Tribe by optimusprime2(m): 6:11am On Jan 13, 2023
femisplash:
Typical ipob, they always forget they started the fire first but when it hits them, they claim the victims. Just as they started the coup that killed leaders of other tribes but would claim victim of the aftermath. Nnamdi Kanu ignited the ethnic hate but would wail on Adeyinka Grandson when he returned the favour.
Were you born yesterday?
Nigeria's ethnic woes existed long before Nnamdi Kanu... so saying he stoked a fire that was already burning is totally incorrect.

TravelRe: What’s So Special About The UK That Nigerians Are Fleeing To? by optimusprime2(m): 11:43am On Jan 07, 2023
Cashsteady:
UK is currently facing serious economic crisis and some other few crises too but why do Nigerians keep flocking UK .. There are other by far better countries in Europe that offers everything way better than UK..

You will be surprised to see the population of Nigerians in London..you will think you are in Lagos ..Nigerians just scatter for London..

Try Germany, Netherlands. Denmark, Norway Even France ..this countries ain’t bad either
You technically listed the reasons why...

The UK is largely one of the two countries in Europe that officially use English as a language.

It is not funny to start trying to adopt a second language at the adult stage of life. As far as employment goes, one would be reduced to a blue collar job hussler, regardless of his/her academic credentials due to limitations that are language based.

To simply put it, there are more opportunities that won't have the "European language limitation"...
So that's why Nigerians are alot in the UK.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: What Salary Range Can Make You Remain In Nigeria? by optimusprime2(m): 11:36am On Dec 10, 2022
QuinModah:
Anyone who will stay in Nigeria because of a higher salary is quite confused about the logic and purpose of their japa. This is basic maths, but nobody pays attention in maths class these days.

To be honest, alot of Nigerian's leaving the country is for a better life standard, and not necessarily money, people are seeking for safety, good health care system, quality education system etc. Trust me with your money in this country you can't afford those, you can't buy safety (ask some generals in the army why their kids are abroad & why they relocate after service and you get the answers you seek) , these are functions of government responsibilities, which they have failed without any form of remorse.

Nigerians are no longer safe in their country, you have a good job, you are prone to be kidnapped, you drive a good car, you can be robbed and killed, kids are spending close to a decade in public universities for a 5years program. The exodus campaign out of the country is based on having quality lifestyle, Nigerians are simply tired of not been safe in their country anymore. The good Job comes with its inherent risks of been killed, robbed, or kidnapped, so trust me is beyond the salary to stay back in a system designed to shorten your life span. fix the country and Nigerians will stay back.

it is not a salary issue. Are you aware there is no middle class in Nigeria again?, a good number of Nigerians are one chronic disease away from poverty. Have we not seen someone that returned back to Nigeria to work at the rate of same salary structure.

This case here depends on the person skill-set, and how important such person is to the firm.

Average entry level salary in UK is

$32,500 = ₦14,428,050.00 yearly.

Let's break it down.

$32500/12 = $2,708 making ₦1,202,189.52 monthly. (Subjected to all statutory deductions)

In short there are many companies that can afford this in Nigeria depending on how skilled you are.

Note: it's not bad to japa and it's not bad to stay back, but it's depends on your purpose.

Let me stop here.
SportsRe: Cristiano Ronaldo 'Agrees To A £173 Million-Per-Year Contract With Al Nassr' by optimusprime2(m): 4:54pm On Nov 30, 2022

His career has technically ended
That's a Cynical way of looking at it...
However on the bright side, he can well surpass 1000 official goals easily in that league, because in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

So while you think his career is technically over, his record setting career has technically just begun... on a healthy paycheck for that matter.

Frankkelworld:
Ojoro goal.... Dem no even use VAR to check...
Bro, there was absolutely no need to because, it was a clear penalty...

CR7 used experience to get that penalty (How? He made sure he not just touched the ball first, but advanced the ball a bit, therefore forcing a foul from the defender... normally other players would have dived after touching the ball without hustling to even advance play).

So far, I am satisfied with refereeing at this worldcup

SportsRe: Qatar 2022: Romelu Lukaku To Miss First Two Games Of The World Cup by optimusprime2(m): 8:46am On Nov 21, 2022
owobokiri:
Recovery break? Which recovery break?
Players are always worn out by the end of the season before preparing for the world cup competition in June-July. Very tired and begging for their holidays. It has never been an issue because the timing always favoured the Western countries.

Every serious analyst agrees that players in Qatar at the moment, are sharper in terms of their forms. This is because they are all getting into the competition while still in their league forms. Hosting the world cup in the middle of the year only favours the Europeans and the Americans.

It rains cat and dogs in Africa then and as you can see with the case of Qatar, it's always as hot as hell during this period in most of Asia. So what are we supposed to do? Abdicate the right to host such events and allow just the Western countries to do so? It's called the world cup for a reason! Everyone should participate both in hosting and in playing. The endless complaints should stop.

Qatar should be left alone..
I am glad we go by numbers these days...
Statistics have shown that this worldcup has the highest frequency of registered injuries, "in camp" than any other world cup within the last 30 years... the question is why?

Is it that players now are softer... No
Is it that nutrition now is poorer... No
Has the sport become more physical... actually the opposite.

So why?
The obvious culprit is accumulated fatigue
SportsRe: Qatar 2022: Romelu Lukaku To Miss First Two Games Of The World Cup by optimusprime2(m): 12:15am On Nov 21, 2022
owobokiri:
Injuries are normal before world cup competition .
Has little to do with Qatar or the timing
It's true, Injuries are common with the sport, which is why a summer worldcup is ideal timing due to the fact that players are not burnt out from excessive league games. And there is usually a recovery break before the competition to cancel out accumulated fatigue. The idea is to ensure that overall fitness is maintained.

However, in this case Leauge games were rushed, to catch up with a winter worldcup... Premier league, bundesliga and la liga players literally played two league matches every other week not to forget UEFA league games were also in full swing, which was physically demanding for the players.

To cap things up, there was no recovery break before the worldcup... infact there were league games last week Saturday where a few more players picked up injuries recently...

Oga, it doesn't take rocket science to see the planning of this World Cup was abysmal. As the overall fitness of players are in question... even refs are out injured.

Why wasn't the Leauge tables for all leagues adjusted by FIFA to accommodate the World Cup?
Was it out of their power to push for fewer matches and spread the UEFA league games further apart?

The moment CBN officially acknowledges the existence of the black market and integrates BDC operations with Forex operations creating a single market with shared forces, then there will be sanity.

For now, as long as the concept of economics remains universal, a parallel market and official market operating differently in the same country will always result in economic chaos. It's like fighting your own shadow.

Oga, do you even know why ASUU went on strike in the first place?

Do you think they went on strike because they just felt like going on strike?

Is it even normal how these lecturers are being treated for crying out loud?

If you ask me, ASUU needs to go back on Strike immediately until the Government appropriately addresses the matter... enough is enough.

Good evening nairalanders, my daughter is in basic two with a bad handwriting. I have tried helping her by showing her how to handle Biro but no improvement.

Please recommend what to do.
I hope you know that there is an aspect of handwriting, that is genetic?

If your handwriting or her mother's is awesome, then give her time she will also grow into it... but you can be scared and emphasise on her practicing her handwriting more, if either your handwriting or her mother's is literal griffonage.

It's basically Nature or Nurture.

P.S
A little assignment for everyone reading this, dig deep to look at your uncles, aunt's, cousins and if possible grandparents handwritings, you would be shocked to see striking similarities... Right there is the role of genetics in handwriting.
