They should rename aso rock after that woman

Chelsea have sacked head coach Liam Rosenior after less than four months in charge and on the back of losing five consecutive Premier League matches without scoring for the first time since 1912.

Rosenior arrived at Stamford Bridge in January, signing a five-and-a-half-year deal, but has won just 11 of his 23 games across all competitions.

After Tuesday's 3-0 defeat at Brighton, Rosenior said the performance was "indefensible" and "unacceptable" as he faced angry chants from the travelling supporters.

They subsequently slipped to seventh in the Premier League standings in a further blow to their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

"Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment midway through the season," Chelsea said.

"This has not been a decision the club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season."

Calum McFarlane will take over as interim manager until the season of the season.

McFarlane, who was Rosenior's assistant, was in charge for a 1-1 draw against Manchester City and a defeat at Fulham in January after previous boss Enzo Maresca was sacked.

"As the club works to bring stability to the head coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment," Chelsea added.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9d4w8032vno

Jacob’s Story

Jacob agreed to work for Laban for seven years, trusting that at the end he would marry Rachel the prize he had been promised. After those seven years of labor, Laban changed the terms overnight. Jacob was told that what he had earned was not actually his; instead, he would have to serve another seven years to finally get what he originally signed up for.

The ILR Proposal
Skilled worker visa holders arrive in the UK with a clear promise: after five years of continuous residence, paying taxes, and contributing to society, they can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) settlement giving them stability and a path to citizenship. Now, a proposal has been floated to extend that qualifying period to ten years for those already in the pipeline. People who moved their families, bought homes, and planned their lives around a five-year commitment are being told: “The terms have changed. You now need to wait double the time.”


The Human Cost

In both cases, the betrayal is not just about time it’s about trust, vulnerability, and power.

Jacob was a worker in Laban’s household, dependent on his uncle’s word. He had no leverage. When Laban broke his promise, Jacob couldn’t simply walk away he was already entangled in the family, already emotionally invested in Rachel, and had no other easy path to the life he’d worked for.

Similarly, skilled workers on visas live in a state of precariousness. They cannot easily change jobs without visa sponsorship. Their children are in schools, their careers are rooted in the UK, and they’ve built lives based on a settled timeline. To extend the ILR period after they’ve already committed years is to treat their service as something that can be unilaterally renegotiated—just as Laban did.


The Justification

Laban justified his deception with a cultural rule: “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter before the older.” He never mentioned this custom during the seven years Jacob worked he only brought it up when it was too late for Jacob to refuse.

The UK government’s justification for extending ILR is framed around policy aims: controlling immigration numbers, ensuring “sufficient contribution,” or aligning with a tougher stance on settlement. But for those already halfway through, the justification feels just as arbitrary and retroactive as Laban’s. It changes the deal after the work has begun.

The Emotional Reality

Imagine Jacob’s feeling the morning after the wedding: “I gave you seven years, and you tricked me. Now you’re telling me it will be fourteen?”

Now imagine a skilled worker who arrived five years ago, perhaps with a spouse and young children, expecting to apply for ILR this spring. Instead, they hear that they now face another five years of uncertainty unable to fully settle, unable to easily change careers, living with the constant weight of visa renewals and the fear that the rules might shift again.

That’s the human reality. It’s not just a policy change; it’s a lived experience of broken trust.

The Cost of Keeping the Promise

In Jacob’s case, he stayed not because the deal was fair, but because his love for Rachel was greater than his anger. But the extra seven years cost him: they deepened family rivalry, trapped him in a manipulative relationship with Laban, and taught him that loyalty could be exploited.

For skilled workers, many will endure the extended period because they have built lives and have no easy alternative. But the cost is real: years of delayed citizenship, prolonged uncertainty, and a gnawing sense that the country they contributed to sees their commitment as something to be stretched for political convenience.

Conclusion

The story of Jacob and Laban endures because it captures a universal human experience: giving years of your life based on a promise, only to have that promise broken by someone with power over you. The proposal to extend ILR for existing skilled worker visa holders echoes that same dynamic changing the terms after the labor has begun, and asking people to pay twice for what they were originally promised once.

You are correct. Wike and tinubu 3rd strategy.

DoTheNeedful:
You are just being overly critical. A minimum wage earner earns 840,000 in a year. Based on the new tax law, the 40,000 on top of the 800,000 is taxed at 15%, which means that a minimum wage earner pay 6,000 naira per year (500 per month) in tax. A minimum wage earner pays more than this in the old tax regime.

Many of you that criticize do so either maliciously or due to ignorance.
That means even the poorest will pay tax
Our tax collection rate in Nigeria is one of the poorest even in Africa. The understanding of tax by Nigerians terrible. Many of you need to get it into your heads that tax payment is vital for any society to thrive.

from the above, even the poorest people will pay tax.

Emulating Peter obi initiative. Very good one.

Which neighbor dey refuse you to go jare.

Hope you don pack your load not to return again after new year

You said your neighbour is stealing from you. The neighbour wants to leave you and you refuse.
There must be something you're gaining from that man. You may be the one stealing from your neighbour.

Even tinubu will be shocked

Tinubu hand and wike voice

If this man was Igbo

The UK government has rejected a request by Nigeria to deport a former senior Nigerian politician convicted of organ trafficking.
Ike Ekweremadu, 63, a former deputy president of the Nigerian senate and ally of the former president Goodluck Jonathan, is serving a sentence of nine years and eight months after being found guilty in 2023 of conspiring to exploit a man for his kidney.
Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice, and a co-conspirator, Dr Obinna Obeta, trafficked a young man to London with a view to harvesting his kidney, which they planned to transplant to Ekweremadu’s daughter Sonia in a private unit of an NHS hospital.
It was the first conviction for organ trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act.
Last week, a Nigerian government delegation, led by the foreign minister, Yusuf Tuggar, met officials at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to discuss Ekweremadu’s case. The delegation requested his deportation so he could serve his remaining sentence in Nigeria.
A source at the MoJ has confirmed the request was rejected. It is understood the UK government was concerned that Nigeria could offer no guarantees that Ekweremadu would continue his prison sentence after being deported.

With just 20 pounds. Igbos are not doing bad at all.

RingRoadMafia:
Reno, all this your preaching is because it was a Yoruba guy who mocked Mr Onokpasa. Had it been an Igbo guy, you would've since made it a tribal issue! You would've hurled all manner of coded insults draped as friendly lectures to the Igbo individual who doesn't have your type of media reach. You would've taken advantage of your followers' naivety to twist the narrative just so that other tribes can hate the Igbos...


But alas!


David Hundeyin is a Yoruba as it gets. Sorry, Reno, not today!

spot on. You know Reno very well. His cup will soon full.
