FYI, FIFA has given Chelsea and the other Club World Cup teams a special transfer window between June 1 - 10.

So we should be able to get more leeway to conduct crucial transfers

It is still a miracle how Palmer has 8 assists this season.

He would conveniently have 15-20 assists already if these guys have not been so wasteful with the chances he creates

Big reason why we need Osimhen!

I’m not sure a Peter Obi/El Rufai ticket would defeat Tinubu 2027.. Forget all the noise by the northern elders, because Tinubu no be GEJ

Lmao 😂

Remember what I said a few weeks ago. Mark this again..... In 3 and a half years, he just wouldn't leave.

They are laying the foundation for this, brick by brick.

Hmm.. I still believe he would leave through the regular democratic process. But anything is possible

Allegedly buried in the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a clause that prevents a contempt of court charge against the executive branch, rendering the courts powerless.

If that report is true, then we will be set for yet another constitutional showdown

Bruno Fernandes should accept Al-Hilal’s £1.25 million/week offer. At 30, he should consider the Saudi offer as one of his last chances of final big money move..

Amigoss:
He once admitted he used to be on nairaland and was not proud of what he did here....Him,Raum and ibime go probably don clash before.....Men with bad mouths

I won’t be surprised 😂

Nigerians and bad mouth na 5&6 🤣

BTW, Five Guys is a popular fast food restaurant, here, in the U.S.

Dunno why I suspect, there will be absentees.
Some folks don retire with NFF organizational madness.
Imagine not playing 4 friendlies, it will only get worse.
And why Ordega, why not look towards youth?

I really hope those of our star players that aren’t on the list haven’t quit from the team

Oh you misunderstood me. Musa can leave if she wants to. The WNBA and her team can't hold her should she decide to participate. I think their CBA contract allows that. Don't forget also it isn't just Afrobasket holding, the Euros will also be holding at about the same time.

My point really is about spot security. The WNBA is very competitive, For context, just 4 of those drafts in the first round of the 2023 draft class are currently on a roster. Just 1 of those drafted in the first round of 2021 is on roster. It shows you how competitive staying on roster is.

For someone like Musa who wasn't drafted, not have US college experience to leverage from, it's very difficult to even get a chance talk less stay on roster. So if hopefully she impresses at Phoenix and begins to get significant minutes, I won't advise that she leaves. I'll rather she stake a claim and build her résumé there. Before you know it, she makes enough noise for teams to start considering signing her. Right now, she has no leverage, so why make it easier for you to get kicked of the roster.

Also consider that of she leaves briefly for Afrobasket, they have to sign someone temporarily to take her place imagine they person they sign now impresses, it makes it easier to waive her especially considering she doesn't have a guaranteed contract.

I get you know, thanks for the detailed explanation.

So, basically, the main issue is the competitive nature of the league being a hindrance to her leaving for the Afrobasket, which is quite understandable.

I think Kanu Nwankwo faced a similar issue, at Arsenal, when he left for the 2000 AFCON. When he returned to Highbury after that tourney, it was difficult for him to displace Henry from the starting line up

lovewins:
Kone wasn't playing, so excusing herself for Afrobasket made sense. It's a little dicy if you're an important part of the team.

It depends on how convincing she and the NBBF will be in making their argument that it would be worthwhile for Kiki to miss the first two weeks of the WNBA season, for the chance to win a first international trophy…

Athletics World Record Alert 🚨

🇳🇬 Favour Ofili sets a new world record in the women’s 150m, after winning her race at the Adidas Atlanta City Games in a time of 15.85s (+2.0m/s)

Unbelievable stat 🚨🚨

Since January, Man Utd have NOT beaten a team that will play in the Premier League next season!

The only teams they’ve beaten are the relegated teams - Ipswich, Southampton, and Leicester 🤯😲

Ibime:
No, we need all 3

My mistake, you’re right

Jeez! We just need a point at Nottingham and UCL footie is ours!

But which team would choose the Europa League over the UCL 😂

I read every word of this article, and for all his flaws, David is undeniably a man of culture.
History will be ruthless to those who conspired to take down GEJ, only to gift Nigeria the walking disaster that was Buhari.
They didn’t just fumble the bag, they lit it on fire and danced around the ashes. No amount of revisionism will clean that stain.

💯💯 agree with you

I've just come out of a conversation with a contact who is engaged in the Sahel, and the one piece of advise I have for the multiple Burkinabés from media, academia and civil society who are currently being contacted by the usual suspects to lend their vocal and intellectual support to the artificial anti-Traoré bandwagon that Paris and DC are putting together is this:

Remember that there is nothing special about you.

The same way they're reaching out to you and acting as if they respect you and your work, is the same way they've reached out to many of us across the sub-region. I promise you are not special to them at all. You're just useful. For now. The respect and reverence they are treating you with is the same affected "respect" they have bamboozled us with for 500 years, because they know that nothing gets a black man's pussy wet like receiving "respect" and "honour" from his European overlords.

They did the same thing in Nigeria between 2011 and 2015. Every squirrel, antelope, Aisha, Dipo, and Japheth who offered even the mildest criticism of Goodluck Jonathan was immediately carried aloft and paraded around as a champion of this and that by the oyibos. It didn't take them long to figure out that "Jonathan Must Go" was their ticket to what seemed like everlasting favours, treats, and funding from oyibo, and they all started unanimously pushing to oust the president that took Nigeria to #1 economy in Africa and 3rd fastest growing on the planet.

Many of these people didn't even dislike Goodluck Jonathan - they just saw that pretending as if Nigeria was being ruled by Pol Pot was their ticket out of poverty and obscurity. Some of them built this career grift in 24 months all the way from Twitter into Chevening scholarships, IVLPs, Mandela Washington Fellowships, speaking appearances in Taiwan, Canadian passports, etc etc. But those were only the lucky few. The vast majority of this demographic got discarded like a used pure water bag immediately the oyibos got their desired regime change.

Since they got their regime change, Nigeria has fallen off a cliff from #1 to #4 in Africa, losing over 60% of GDP in just 10 years. I will repeat that for emphasis. While other countries in Africa grew at 2-5% annually over the past 10 years, Nigeria SHRANK by over 60%, and you can now find Nigerians desperately searching for a better life in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Liberia, and even Niger which used to hold the title of "poorest country in the world." Most of the loudmouths who helped make this a reality have fallen back into obscurity and poverty.

Many of them are in their 40s and 50s now, and they're still busy chasing gigs and hunting for $1000 here, $2,500 there. A few of them did become puppet unicorns, but the vast majority are back to being absolutely nobody 10 years after they allowed foreign attention and dollars to override their natural caution and stampede them into the 2nd worst ever national mistake in Nigeria's history after the completely unnecessary civil war.

Many of them walk around in a constant state of confusion now, unable to understand why their lives are much worse nowadays, and the oyibos who seemingly cared so much about whatever they had to say between 2011 and 2015 are no longer answering the phone or replying messages. If you allow these same oyibos to inflate your egos and use it to push your mouths into parroting their narrative for their own geopolitical goals, the exact same thing will happen to you.

Before you allow the thirst for white people's validation and money to shape your responses to the questions they are currently deluding you with, just ask yourself this one question:

All those years when Burkina Faso was the deadest country on the planet and Blaise Campaore's regime was shooting Burkinabés dead in the street, where were all these bleeding heart white people? Why didn't they care then?

Why do they care about Ibrahim Traoré now? What is this REALLY about?

Lol. How many lucky breaks are Chelsea gonna have this season 😂🤣
2 hrs ago, I thought we had bottled the UCL qualification, but now it’s back in our hands 😁

Whoever is writing this script deserves 2 Oscars, walahi!

It’s over 🙆🏽‍♂️

BREAKING 🚨

The FIFA Council has unanimously voted to expand the FIFA Women’s World Cup to 48 teams, starting from 2031..

Is this a right or wrong move?

Here is the U-19 Tigress’s World Cup schedule:

July 12: Nigeria v China at 1pm

July 13: Canada v Nigeria at 10:45am

July 15: Nigeria v Portugal at 10:45am

The women’s U-19 World Cup runs from July 12-20…

Meanwhile, D’Tigress’s (tentative) Women’s Afrobasket schedule is as follows:

July 26: Nigeria v Rwanda

July 28: Mozambique v Nigeria

The fact that both Inter and Barcelona each conceded 6 goals in their semi final tie, makes Chelsea’s feat of conceding only 4 goals in the entire 2020-21 season all the more remarkable!!

If Chelsea win the Conference League, they would have completed a unique “penteca” of European trophies - UCL, Europa League, Cup Winners Cup, Super Cup, and Conference League. Wow!!

Lol @ "GTB is the only Yoruba bank standing"

The major shareholders in Wema bank are Odua group and Baba Kessington Adebutu through his Neemtree Limited investment. Wema is more Yoruba than GTB will ever be.

The funny thing is that some gullible people will actually reason with this lady .

Those gullible people should not even be referred to as adults, if they reason with her
