But when the Nigerian government interferes with NFF, FIFA will ban the NFF...Now, we are seeing how much they uphold their rules and regulations when it comes to their own...

The same players that came 2nd under Mourinho suddenly became useless and packed it in the next season and got him sacked by Christmas.
If the season was under a new manager people would have said the new manager was bad and that we should have kept Mourinho.

The same players that went on several weeks winning run under interim manager Ole suddenly went on several weeks losing run under permanent manager Ole. If it had been a different manager that was appointed permanent manager people would have said we should have kept Ole as manager.

The same players that came 2nd under Ole became crap next season and got him sacked by Christmas (despite adding a potential GOUT, a world class defender, and a highly rated talent).
If it was under a new manager people would have said we should have stuck with Ole.

These players are professional coach killers. If you decide to still be deceived by them you are O.Y.O.
And if ten Hag decides to stick with most of them as the core of his team then he too will chop breakfast.

Ralf has said they'll be a lot of players leaving and coming in...

Matic is confirmed. I expect Jones, Lingard, Mata, Bailly, Cavani and Pogba to leave...

The chances of Maguire, AWB and Henderson staying depends on whether or not they'll settle for a bench role...Left for me, I'd rather we keep Dalot as a backup RB (I am not so certain if Laird will be ready) and sell AWB...

ETH has to make a decision of which one of Telles or Shaw he'll keep...In midfield, I see us signing at least one DM and a CM depending on what Ten Hag makes of Garner and Hannibal...

We still need to go all out for a RWF and possibly a CF (I don't see Ronaldo settling for a place in the Europa or Conference league)...

Depending on what Ten Hag thinks of Rashford and Martial, we might end up signing at least 3 forward players...

In all, I think some changes will be made but I still think some of this players will be here next season as I don't see us signing up to 7-8 players come summer...

Below is the list of what most states in USA charge for a candidate that wants to partake in primaries.

Governor: $5,000.
U.S. Senate: $5,000.
U.S. House: $2,500.
State Senate: $1,000.
State House: $500.
Judicial offices: $500.
Countywide elected offices: $100.
County Commission or Constable: $25.

Let's compare one state in USA and a country called Nigeria.

GDP of Texas 2021: 2.0 Trillion dollars
Budget of Texas 2021: 261.5 billion dollars.
Presidential aspirants in Texas pay a $5,000 filing fee.

GDP of Nigeria 2021: 446.9 billion dollars
Budget of Nigeria 2021: 23.3 billion US dollars (13.6 trillion naira)
APC presidential form: 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira)

Compare that to a poor country called Nigeria. APC decided to set the price of governorship at $85,470 (50 million naira). That is 16 times more than what is paid in USA. While that of president set at 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira) is 34 times more than what is paid in USA.

Until INEC sets a REASONABLE limit on how much political parties can charge, this ridiculous trend will continue.

Are our destinies tied to APC and PDP?
Many are complaining that these top two parties are disenfranchising young candidates with their prices. We have more younger people than old people. If only many Nigerians think like me, APC and PDP would have been abandoned for a long time. But most of the electorates love 'abusive relationship'.

If in other countries, a young person can win an election with a unpopular party, why can't it happen in Nigeria?

It's just crazy...The system promotes corruption...

In the end, he went ahead to confirm what El Rufai said instead of dismissing the comment...

I have not heard any news on Greenwood. He surely is not playing this season and probably never again for the club. The boy should be allowed to tackle the charges and fight to ensure his freedom first. Football is secondary for now.

Levitt is doing well in the Scottish premier league. The question mark with him is lack of size and strength. Technically he is good enough. It would be interesting to see what ten Hag decides at the end of preseason with regards to the large number of young players on loan and in the academy. They are playing 2 games in my city so hopefully i will be there.

I am just sad for Greenwood...

I just hope Ten Hag will resume early enough and we conclude our business in the market early because we have always been known to drag feet...

Afrodoc2, any news on Greenwood?

How about Levitt too?

At least Hannibal, Garner and other promising youngsters are guaranteed minutes provided they take their chances...

What exactly is Fletcher's role at the club?

With Ten Hag, we will be signing players with huge potentials for around 35-40m...I don't want us going after players that cost outrageous fees...

Another good thing is that Ten Hag is the first team manager and not coach so, he will be extensively involved in deciding who comes, goes and whose services will be needed (contract extension)...Exciting times ahead.

GloryIsaac:
Have you noticed the way he looks at the team when they’re losing?

If given the chance, that man will sell 95% of the players we parade...I think we will see more of Hannibal and other academy kids...

TrebleChamp:
To think the Glaziers did spend money (£1bn+) on transfer, makes it even more sickening that we parade this type of players. Woodward made a huge of mess of the resource, signing useless players for crazy transfer fee. Rafiu looks to have press the reset button, make we patiently wait to see result...

I strongly believe some people steal money in the name of transfer fees...

Ralf has started his consultancy already...Baba no dey sound like coach again...

Make I go watch the highlights of the game...Yesterday, I avoided the match entirely...

Skimpledawg:
They did Rooney bad..

Derby is headed for administration if they don't get a new owner ASAP...

MRTA7:
Don't we have an official Cristiano V Messi thread for all this nonsense?

It's sickening...You won't even find Barcelona and Madrid fans doing this thing...

lastchild:
yes, but he didn't choose it.

for example, i teach in a school, anytime i give them class work, i already know who would carry last, but I didn't decide it.

God knows our ending which is an outcome of our choice

Your analogy doesn't apply in this case because you already know the brain capacity of your student hence you can easily say who will pass or not...At birth, it's not possible for your to predict which path a child will follow however, God already knows...You knew Hitler will cause the death of millions of people from birth and even made a Priest save a frowning Hitler in his younger days...I don't think it's sensible for anyone to say Hitler is a bad person because his creator already knew his end from the beginning...

We are only acting a script...We don't have the power of CHOICE...

lastchild:
Yes.

Yes, somebody had to play that role from that 12.

Jesus focus was to come, die and save man. The actors in the journey were the available ones, not predestined.

for example... the soldiers that would flog him were the available ones,not predestined. the king that would sentence him was the available king, not predestined

When pontius pilate asked Jesus, are you king of the Jews?.. We were taught in theology school that the reason Jesus christ kept quite was because he knew that pontius pilate was looking for a way to save him. Meanwhile it was appointed time to die.

in conclusion, people that will go to heaven or hell are not predestined. It is where you make yourself available to go

Do you believe that line in the Bible where God said he knows our end from our very beginning?

lastchild:
He betrayed him. The truth is, someone had to fulfill that role, but no one was the appointed one. That role was open for anyone who would fall victim,Which judas did.

Just like God said he would punish Israel, but would later deal with anyone that makes himself available to use in punishing Israel.

It therefore means it was impossible for all of them to resist the temptation since it was already cast in stone that one of the 12 disciples will betray Jesus...

Dtruthspeaker:
That is why I said "Who can not prophecy that a person who drives at the average speed of 180kph from Abuja to Lagos, will have an accident?"

Even you too play the game of pre-determination. You have once said, "make nobody give Wilson moto, hin go scatter am"

You have predetermined Wilson's future, same for Tinunu!

The difference is that while I say Wilson should not be handed the keys based on his person, I can not say 100% that he will scatter the vehicle if he is allowed to ride..However, in the case of Judas, it was certain 100% that the prophecy must be fulfilled.

What do you make of make of that portion of the Bible that says God knows our end from the very beginning? If he already knows Osama Bin Laden was going to bomb the world trade center from the time he was born, will you then call Osama a bad person knowing too well his life trajectory was already predetermined?

Dtruthspeaker:
Who can not prophecy that a person who drives at the average speed of 180kph from Abuja to Lagos, will have an accident?

And it is the driver who is blamed for overspeeding and wreck-full driving.

A prophecy tells what shall happen in the future.

So, Judas was very stupid full to allow himself to be used by Satan (same thing he did to Eve, in using her to destroy the man Adam) to betray The Lord, Th6 Lord Himself. E no Fear even after seeing all the The Lord hath done and Said!

How was he used when it was already predetermined?

Peter that denied Chris thrice, will you call him a sinner too? Remember Jesus told them that one of them will betray him thrice so, it was always going to happen regardless...

Odunharry:
na wah oo.. Una no dey tire for this thread ni.

The thing tire me...

TrebleChamp:
You are too emotional patrick, little wonder Trevor was always getting under your skin with trolling. You really need to check yourself bro. If trolling dey pain you like this on Nairaland, i wonder what it would be like for you in flesh. No carry this tinz for head too much, non of us gets paid for supporting Ronaldo or small goat. All na cruise and fun, for me atleast...

Pain you say? Lol...

This is Manchester United thread and not Ronaldo or Messi thread...You guys need to know when to troll and when not to. This club is not making any headway yet na Ronaldo vs Messi una carry for head. If Messi fans here start the trolling una go say them dey pray make the club lose match just so they can troll but right now it seems you CR7 fanboys hope he scores regardless of whether we lose or not...

The past 15 pages or more is littered with Ronaldo vs Messi posts...This club is bigger than that. The painful part is that even on Madrid and Barcelona thread where the two greats gave their all is not littered with this sort of arguments...Make una rest abeg.

Expert17:
Lol, I hope the goals will stop Messi from winning the league bcuz by May - I reserve my comment

Baba leave those clowns to their faith...

Manchester United will win, lose or draw but instead of us talking about the game, they'll rather start comparing Ronaldo to Messi...

Itsrm:
I thought Pep figured out Klopp already

Ask it my guy...

Birthday blessings TrebleChamp...

Expert17:
The same Nagelsmann some guys want as OLE replacement

If we do same for every coach, no one will be worth it...

ChristoBam did it for ETH and it seemed like he was not good enough...

Unlimited22:
That's sugarcoating it. He was atrocious.

We dey only talk am small small because he's Kante.

I cursed him out because I was supporting Chelsea to advance...

Kante was poor...

Raumdeuter, when you dey analyze weakest team, you no factor Bayern o!

This life eh!

Crazy game...Game of the season already...

Kovacic has been massive and Werner, he never stops trying...

See how I come dey support Chelsea...I no just like Madrid sha.

Chelsea dey try abeg...Super impressed.

Hope say donstan18 no dey pray make Havertz no score and the famous 5 no dey their own end dey pray make Mount no score again?

I am here to read from a certain Donstan18
