Nonsense. I still remember the 6 - 2 thrashing of Madrid in 2008/2009. Messi and Henry scored braces, even Puyol and Pique scored but this dude was just misfiring

Yes you were an important player for Barca, but your best moments were with Ronaldinho.

BluntTheApostle:


I see a shocking result awaiting everyone tonight.

Mark my word!!!

either you say the result you saw or you didn't see shyte. Dey there dey deceive yourself with the apostle in your handle.

The mother of the man handed him over to the police? Nice!

I thinks that's one area we need to improve on in Africa, 'this blood is thicker than water' thing. So we try to cover up the crimes of loved ones even when we know they did it.

Sometimes just help cage the monster, even if it's a family member. There's no guarantee your favourite monster wouldn't turn on you someday.

I have the same problem with ALAT, I can't withdraw, check balance or transfer using the ATM; they keep telling me to contact my bank. I don complain give them severally sotey me sef don tire. It's been more than 4 months and when and every time I remind them dem go tell me say 'nothing is wrong with your card'.
See, it has nothing to do with documents cos I uploaded everything a long time ago.
Dem still dey charge me for card maintenance for card way I no fit use do anything at all

check the card-control part of the app to see if you have enabled the card to be able to do all those (ATM, POS, Web, etc). I think they are disabled by default.

SunnyskyTG:
I am curious to know, who is behind Mr Buhari's Twitter handle?

likely Tolu Ogunlesi

Oblak na keeper sha. Dude saved so many shots that Messi took it personal

Suarez remains an enigma. Missing a sweet 1-on-1 only to score a screamer afterwards

Great game. Can't wait to catch Man Utd!

Isomerizm:
So far this season, how have we been playing?

In my opinion, we aren't doing badly although we can improve. We are still in all competitions we started in this season. How many clubs in Europe's top 5 leagues can boast of that?

In the end results matter, and all the more so for simple minds (the majority of fans everywhere, actually). Messi has played well with Argentina, but many think he's flopped because of that missing final result.

jpmoriarti:
I dont know the disapproval you have with Valverde but it is totally baseless.
Barcelona at this stage, is still in with a shout at winning the treble yet you complain. Do you want him to kill himself so you will be happy? I have read through most of your disapproval comments here, I have yet to see any of them with merit. The capitulation against Roma last season was inexcusable but last season is now in the past. New seasons, new challenges and boy, have we been fine this season!

lol. Forget it, even if we win the treble some would still slander EV. I can understand sha, he doesn't look very inspiring squatting at the sidelines (looking overwhelmed). People are easily swayed by their own interpretation of body language.

I think we'd win the treble though. Hopefully we've learnt from last season.

charliboy654:

I know it's rape but it's actually a normal thing, if guys start to tell u their story, u will know this one is child play.

it's not normal. The fact that something happens a lot does not make it normal and acceptable.

The same Nigeria where Oshiomhole ran to the Supreme Court (just before his second tenure as governor) to get an order to stop an inquiry into claims that he forged his certificate, in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Starman007:
Guys let's talk about our Ojoro red card

what's ojoro about it? The ref was freaking harsh, end of story. He also showed Messi yellow for trying to talk to him.

Kingblingz:
To some extent I blame our coach for what happened but still we thankGod! Two left footed CB? Haba now.. Who does that

I don't think this is because Umtiti and Lenglet are both left-footed. We've had two right footed CBs and heaven didn't fall. There's a lot Pique offers that Umtiti couldn't quite replicate, likely because he's not back to form yet.

The midfield didn't offer much in the way of defense either.

Debroslink:

You no see the amazing freekick by GOAT?

they call him D10S now

GOAT too small.

IKON360:
abeg who scored our 3rd goal?

Messi. A freekick.

Debroslink:
Umtiti, this match has reduced the number of your fans after that classless Sevilla defending you cost us.

As in eh.... He had a really poor game today. Pique is so underrated mehn.

Frantic end to the game. You could almost taste the hunger for the equalizer. Glad we didn't lose.

Our defence was so shitty though, and Umtiti was our weakest link today. Busquets also was below par for me. Hated how the moment Roberto goes forward and Umtiti tries to cover the middle is blown wide open.

tesppidd:
Messi should not even be on the bench.

Don't want him to be put under pressure if we're losing.


I would give this game away.


If we lose we lose.

Don't play Messi at all.

well, losing this game would mean we cannot afford to lose to Atletico else our lead could well be cut down to 4.

I'm all for Messi sitting out this game, but the other players should play to win.

tesppidd:
Mumu, Marca experts have reviewed the goal and decided it was Messi's goal.

Oya go and play with sand.

una dey mind that ucsquare guy? Messi lives rent-free inside his head.

Debroslink:
Was that a PANENKA freekick by Messi?

wondered the same

Messi is such a delight to watch

ThothHermes:
Japan is the exception. Humans will try to get ahead the first chance. You are right that traditional values and the fact that most people are economically prosperous will make them act that way. The circumstances affecting Nigerians are different and it influences behavior to a large degree.

This is a Telegraph story showing looting in Japan after the 2011 earthquake.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/japan-earthquake-and-tsunami-in/8395153/Japan-earthquake-Looting-reported-by-desperate-survivors.html

if you remember my first post (which you tried to shut me up for), I started out by saying there's no real difference between humans and animals. At their core, they both follow base instinct which is mostly greedy and selfish.

A goat walks by your house and sees a tuber of yam lying on the ground, it doesn't think twice. It doesn't care whether you bought it with your last money to feed hungry kids. All it cares about is that it wants to eat and it likes yam.

The point of that post was that every human has that tendency, however we give in (to that tendency) more in this part of the world, despite all the religious and cultural influence. So you haven't even said anything different.

My comment about exceptions wasn't about humans generally. It was about the Japanese and bad behaviour. The example of the post-earthquake looting is one such exception. The fear and despair that natural disasters create is enough to turn the best behaved person into a scavenger scratching and clawing to survive. Take away the natural disaster and you'd be hard pressed to find another instance of mass Japanese looting in this century.

The persons that looted the bottles of beer had no such extraordinary circumstance. No pressure to try to survive. It's just who they are. And it's not like it's something as valuable as money; ordinary drinks they probably don't even need. With another truck on another street in another state in Nigeria, the result would hardly be different. People would come to loot even if it's fuel that can explode at any time and kill them.

It's just like the goat and the lonely tuber of yam. With another goat on another road in front of another house, the goat would go for the yam every time. No second thoughts.

Humans... Animals... Little difference.

ThothHermes:
You know this how

because they have strong traditions deeply rooted in respect for and kindness to others. Unlike in Nigeria, bad behaviour is the exception and not the norm.

Here, is normal for the majority to try to exploit you the first chance they get and then try to justify it by saying it's your fault and you weren't sharp. Same way you are here claiming it's normal behaviour.

ThothHermes:
Abeg keep quiet. Where in the world would people not take advantage of this situation. All these sanctimonious people na una worse pass.

Japan

IjebuWarrior:


Fool! You dey cry for Argentina... have you ever even cried for Nigeria and her problems?

You're one of the numerous problems of our great nation!
Thunder fire you!

free the guy jor. The only thing great about Nigeria is the population.

pazienza:


Not his fault he got injured in the final, his goals inspired his team to that final and even injured, he didn't drop his shoulders and wallow in self pity, he was on the sidelines motivating his team mates to carry on. What a leader! Little wonder he brings the best out of teammates everywhere he goes.
Argentina are yet to win any major trophy with Messi. Messi is too limited as a player and easily marked out in crunch games. When it matters most, when the stakes are high, when it's do or die, Messi crumbles under pressure and leaves his team in shatters. Ronaldo in contrast excels under those high pressure conditions and delivers consistently. We saw it against Athletico recently. Messi is half the man CR7 is.

Like I told you before, dominance in Europe will always take prominence over dominance in local league where you play Girona and rest, week in week out.

Ronaldo is the best of his era. There will never be a higher level of Footbal in our era than the UCL, yet CR7 had monopolized the UCL in our era, consistently bringing his A game against the big boys and under high pressure situations.

lol. Messi crumbles under pressure when it matters most? So how come Messi has more total trophies than Ronaldo despite starting professional football 2 years later?

He brings the best out of his teams? How come Ronaldo hasn't won every competition he's played in, even if just one season? How come Madrid went trophyless in a season that they had Ronaldo? How come Messi consistently had more MOTM performances even in the UCL seasons Madrid won?

How come Ronaldo has never played even third place game in the world cup? He drops disasterclasses because they aren't high pressure conditions? That explains how he manages to have just 4 - 6 great performances in a season of more than 50 games. So far this season, a hattrick against Atletico is the only awesome game he's had, in more than 30 appearances for Juve.

Yuceeluv:
Chai! You really need to go back to secondary school.

It's not in my place to begin to teach you the difference between 'enlightenment' and 'status/worth'.

I would've referred you to google search but seeing your inability to comprehend simple things, there is no need.

blah blah blah... You have no example to back up your spurious claim about nipples falling off in bathrooms without owner's knowledge.

If it was featured in any season of Botched, it would be somewhere on the Internet. Just give an example, no. You'd rather yap about satellite tv and Google search in an attempt to distract everyone from your original nonsense post.

Pseud.

pazienza:


Messi played peripheral role in Barca 2006 win. CR7 has been the highest goal scorer and the star man of all the teams he won his 5 UCL with.
Like I told you, any local team can win the local league , Montepellier won in France, Leceister in England. Winning the local league is no big deal as it's a feat some just above average teams had achieved.

I brought world cup because Messi had failed to excel in world cup despite having a star studded Argentina team to work with.
Ronaldo won Euro with Portugal and was the team highest goal scorer and Star man all through, a feat Messi has never achieved with a far more Big names filled Argentine team in Copa America.

Barca had consistently failed at UCL quarterfinals for three seasons running now, no thanks to Messi being a fast track bully who disappears when the big boys come calling.

Ronaldo that didn't even play anything in the final of the Euro (2016) that Portugal won. His team won without him on the pitch against France.

The best he has done is helping his team get to the final. Messi has done that multiple times, even in the world cup. Unlike Messi however, Ronaldo has not even been outstanding in any international tournament he has played in. Portugal lost the previous final he played in.

Lol. Unless you are a Madrid fan, your favorite team has not won the UCL after Messi won it with Barca in 2015.

Oga, if La Liga was easy to win and dominate, how come Ronaldo only won it twice in 9 years? How come he was the best player just once in 9 years? How come he couldn't bully the small teams and win the league every year?

Ronaldo is like the kind of player that gets 98% in maths but less than 70% in all the others, but likes to think he's better than his classmate whose average is 90% because he got like 92% in maths.

Go and compare their average ratings across different competitions and seasons. Abeg dem no be mate.

DONADAMS:
lol..if I am to go by your analogy of messi not being in peak till 2009( which is not true), then ronaldo playing 150 games more shouldn't be considered cos ronaldo wasn't a starter when he joined man utd and wasn't at his peak when in lisbon.



and about messi not being a starter or in his peak till 2009, how come he was I think 3rd or 2nd best world player in 2007, 2nd in 2008 and best in 2009?..well that's by the way

being a starter is not the same as being at your peak. You can also be a top 3 player and not be at your peak. A player is at his peak when he's playing at his best.

You mean Messi was at his peak in 2008 when he scored like 16 goals in all competitions? Ronaldo scored 42 goals in that same season.

Messi only peaked in 2009 which incidentally happened to be his first uninterrupted season. For the first time, he scored more than 30 goals all season. He was very injury prone before then.

That said, you can see why it's silly to compare goal Ronaldo's 9 years of peak football in Spain with Messi's full stay in la liga? You either compare their football in the 9 years they were together in Spain or compare their full career stats. Either way, Messi has the better stats and has played better.

Yuceeluv:
I was talking to people who have access to gotv,dstv or satellite in general and watch programs like; "BOTCHED".

Not to people in their villages who only know about the happenings in mama nkechi's or iya shade's mini store.

lol. This is precious! Who would have thought that people measure the worth of their sad lives by access to something as basic as satellite tv? Satellite tv o!

No, I hardly watch TV at all. I hope that makes you feel very privileged

So you who watch 'elite' programs like 'BOTCHED', tell us examples of women whose nipples fell while bathing and they didn't know.

pazienza:


Anybody can win local league. Leicester won EPL, Athletico won la liga, Montepellier won Ligue one.
But not anyone can win UCL. UCL will always be ranked higher than local league for obvious reasons.

Messi simply isn't good enough at top top level. The last time Barca won UCL, it was on the back of Neymar and Suarez sublime effort. Since then, Barca exits UCL steadily at the quarterfinal level. To dominate UCL, you need to perform consistently against Star studded and tenacious teams teams. This is where we separate the men from the boys, this is where CR7 thrives while Messi withers off like a dead flower, only to start forming JAGABAN at home against Girona, Betis and other farmers la liga has to offer.
It takes consistent brilliance to bring your A game against top class opponents in UCL consistently like CR7 had done for years now. Anybody can play local champion,, like United use to do in EPL those days, or Juventus, PSG and Bayern currently do in their respective home leagues. But to bring such dominance to Europe, is stuff only CR7 can do consistently. This is why he remains the best.

You can claim that Ronaldo Lima never quite shined in UCL and was still adjudged the best of his era. True, but this is easily forgiven because he performed consistently at another elitist competition called the World Cup. Messi being a local Barca champion can't and haven't done such.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu!

lol. Dude, Ronaldo has just one more UCL title than Messi. Just one! You mean Ronaldo was also a flop before Bale's goals helped him win his 5th last season?

No, not just anybody can win the league. It's the most consistently brilliant team over 38 games that wins it. Messi's consistency is a big reason why Barcelona has won the treble twice, and Madrid couldn't.

Thanks to Messi, Barca even cleared all 6 trophies available in a season. That's the peak of consistency. Ronaldo could never. Ronaldo simply has like 5 great games all season, and is either average or totally disappears in the other games.

Please don't bring the world cup into any Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate. Ronaldo has 7 world cup goals across 4 world cups and has never even played in a world cup semi final. He has played first team football for Portugal for more than 14 years but has never won an individual award in any international competition.

They aren't mates jare.

I'm telling you. Some of these ladies have killed their sensational nerves there sef. So they feel nothing in reality. Thats why they can be bathing and their nipple will fall off, yet they won't know.

who do you know that was bathing and her nipple fell off. Mention names

That's nasty, if this is real. Sex-obsessed culture.
