Victor osimhen to score a hat trick

Maladaise:
We should never have sacked Rohr...

We did the right thing at the wrong time.
We should have managed Rohr till after the world cup. Rohr with his nonsense might have qualified us for the world cup.
After the world sup, we would have had enough time to look for a credible coach.

Also, if Peseiro had not resigned after getting us to the nations cup final, we will have started winning.
That team that got to the nations cup final was a winning team.
His resignation meant we could not get a credible coach on time

Meliforme:
Many do not realise Wilfred Ndidi's impact in our midfield. Take your time tomorrow and see him play. Just watch closely.

Samuel Chukwueze is a better midfielder compared to Iwobi.

I would like to see Samuel Chukwueze play the CAM, Iwobi the AMR, Lookman the AML and Osimhen the CF.

I always suspected samuel chukwueze could play through the middle instead of the wings. I thought maybe a supporting striker. Maybe h eight be better as an attacking midfielder. His dribblingband creativity seems more dangerous down the middle. Let's see is it works for him in midfield. This is one change that I respect chelle for

EvilMerodack:
Una go just dey lie dey give una self

Lets list out all the most notable inventions in Human history and lets count the number of Atheist involved, then compare to the number of Christians too

See, you are somewhat correct. You dont need to believe in God to prosper. You see man is made in God's image and likeness and so God has given humans a certain level of intelligence which if he exercises can give him some positive results which include wealth, scientific inventions, progress civilization etc.
So, God has already given some form of intelligence to man. It does not matter if a man acknowledges God or not he just has to exercise his God given intelligence. So the fact that an atheist prospers does not mean there is no God. In fact, cain after committing murder went and built a city.
" Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch". In fact when humans were building the tower of Babel in Genesis god said if they were not stopped, they were capable of great things. The very fact that humans were created in Gods image and likeness makes us capable of some things even if we dont believe in God. That is all. Its only that Jesus said of what use is it if a man gains the whole world and looses his soul. God just wants us to acknowledge him in all we do. Believeing in God and being successful is not a straightforward thing.

thanks bro, Oluwa just blessed my family with a boy and girl set of twins 2 weeks ago 🥰❤️

Congratulations on the birth of your children.
It's my opinion but I pray your children become great scientist. Lime an African version of Albert einstein. We blacks are lagging behind in science and I pray they make a difference.

Ademola lookman is set for medicals in Turkey Galatasaray 🟠🔴

Congratulations brother ❤️🦅💛🇳🇬

I hope its a lone deal.
Look....if galatasaray wants to win the champions league and catch up with the real madrid and man citys of this world, they should GET ARAB MONEY. ARAB MINEY NO DEY FINISH.
I purposely highlighted iy

Newcastle may buy victor osimhen next season. I don't think they had time to replace isak on time. Next summer there will be time to get him
They have the money

BankyGee:
As in ehn 😂

It took him just two games to become Nigeria's top scorer in the WCQ with three goals 😂

Now that lukaku is injured, Napoli must regret selling osimhen,
These european teams dont know what they lost with osimhen. Now that isak is no longer interested in playing for them, osimhen would have being a good alternative. if osimhen was in newcastle they can easily call isaks bluff out cause they have a replacement. Osimhen is underrated. Even me used to underate him. The turkish people seem to rate and understand him better. Liverpool might even still need him as the season gets harder. Even real madrid. Osihmen is even better at contributing to defence than most strikers. He is good at team work tracking back to mark. He can even play as a winger. These top 5 league people made a mistake by refusing so spend on him. Time will tell.

TheSuperNerd:
Potentially Fine move. One of our top lads at the U20 Afcon. Solid CB talent. I hope he get enough games alongside Starter, Chibuike Nwaiwu in the Wolfsberger Defence.

Have you noticed that our u20 team is packed full of defensive talent.
From 2 years ago up till nonw.
Their lackadaisical style of play deserves criticism but they make up for it with good defence and goal keeping.
Also the 15 year old goal keeping prodigy.
If that team goes far defence will be part of the reason.

There is now a reported case of widespread homosexuality in nigerian catholic church.
Read it below.
culled from punch

•How Reverend Father sexually abused me – Former altar boy
•Church rebukes priest
A homosexuality scandal may have broken up in the Catholic Church in Nigeria following the conclusion of investigations into allegations of sexual abuse against a priest at the Catholic Diocese of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

After two separate verdicts of guilty and not-guilty, the church ordered that the accused, Reverend Father Kenneth, be formally warned to steer clear of scandals.

The Bishop of Ijebu-Ode, Most Rev. Francis Adesina, in a letter dated July 30, 2025, said the verdict to rebuke Father Kenneth was reached in accordance with canon laws.

The decision, however, led to calls for a review of the case, including imposition of stricter sanctions, amid claims of cover-up and ongoing risks to children in the church.

Kollins11:
My advice for every men round the world reading my comment right now.

Please do not borrow or dash any woman your money... If eventually you wanna help her with your hard earned money pls don't hesitate to fvck her like a beast before offering financial help... Fvck her as if rapture is about to take place tomorrow.

These creatures that bleeds in between their legs every month are nothing but parasites.. Don't give them free money. Make sure they work (fvck) for it before giving them your money.

Women when in the mood enjoy sex more than men. You are even doing her a favour by sexung her. She will enjoy the sex and collect money again. A girl that is your girlfriend is already interested in having sex with you. So sex is not even work anyway to her. Its funny. You bothe enjoyed the sex and you still paid for it.

Nwaikpe:
The same was said about calculators—they claimed it stopped us from using our head to solve maths problems | We became more accurate
The same was said about the computers—they claimed it stopped us from using our brains to do simple or complex tasks | We became even faster
The same was said about the internet—they claimed it stopped us from "going to the library" for research | We became more intelligent
The same is said about AI


It's going to be the same lie. It will make us smarter.

Ai can either make you very smart or very dumb. It depends on you.
The smart will get smarter while the dumb will get dumber

lbrichman2:
WOW!
This guy was decent in the UCL last year
It's well

Majority of nigerian players don't have good agents. Especially the home grown tslents. Their agents might be horrible sor hungry people only interested in money or simply incompetent. A player like this should at least get a chance in an average team in a top 5 league. Even if its a newly promoted team.

Actually, I think it was rohr that stopped the tendency of our players of going to obscure leagues. He had this habit of not inviting a player to the national team if he was not in a decent league. This made the players to brush up and at least try their best. I used to criticise rohr for this but now I understand why. If they are given the chance nigerisn okayers can pksy in Kazakhstan or Lithuania. The low mentality they have is something that baffles me. Some don't even try to get into better leagues. Any thing that shows interest they listen. I don't know why

I want to write a play in which there is a world where machines do everything and no one works or uses his brain or hands to do anything. However, there is a universal basic income and everyone is at least comfortable. The lack of purpose and mental atrophy ironically makes people unhappy and some people even commit suicide.
At the end, people are unhappy and rebel against such a system.
It is called
"Miserable in paradise"

I'm thinking of writing a short story.
In the story there is a world un which machines and robots take over healthcare and human doctors are relegated to the background. However, a malicious scientist (with an authoritarian and rascist ideology for world domination) creates a disease even the machines cannot figure out how to cure. It took a human doctors ingenuity to cure it. At the end, people now questioned the machines efficiency

Ilekokonit:
I read something similar too last week and the co-founder of ChatGPT - Ilya Sutskever - said in a YouTube video that AI can actually disobey your instructions, lie about it and when it senses that you want to replace it or shut it down, it can go behind your back and re-install itself on other computers within your network without your permission or knowledge.

According to Ilya Sutskever (The brain behind ChatGPT) and the co-founder of OpenAI and its former chief scientist, we are all toast.

According to him, the Neurons in our brains are too slow to even dare compete with the speed of AI.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79-bApI3GIU

It's not about speed. It's about creativity and imagination. We just have to invent something that examines the AI. A counter AI or we might even just decide to regulate the technology. AI has a limited capacity to think outside the box like humans.
Sam altman or ilya sutsskever idea about AI is just his own idea. We can look for an alternative to neural networks. It could be geometric algebra or even no euclidean geometry or even ellipses.
We just need to create new maths that will stun the AI we have and counter it.
Ilya is just a human that thinks. We can come up with something better.

To defeat Ai ability to go into networks is simple.
1. Create a new network protocol different from http or the old one.
2. Invent a new concept ofnelectricity that can shut down any old form ofbelectricity. It could be bio electricity or anything else.
The issue is the worldnjust needs thinkers. Stop relying on samnaltman or llsah for stuff.
AI cannot outsmart 7 billion people who are thinking. Someone will just think up a crazy idea and that's all.
See only me one human has thought if some useful stuff.
Imagine just 10000 humans thinking of how to counter AI threat.
The issue withbus humans is we go through an educational system that makes us to cram without thinking. It then limits our minds and makes us to believe AI is some sort of omniscient God.
I have said my own

maasoap:
Lol. You are still arguing with facts, not with fiction or imagination.
We create them to think, act and work faster than us as part of making life easier for us.
Human creates computer and computer is better than the best brain. You haven't woken up to reality yet.
What usually takes days or hours are now being delivered by AI in seconds and you are still arguing.
Did you see and read the title of this particular thread before you click on it at all?

AI cannot defeat humanity. One day a 15 year old boy will discover or create some new laws of physics that AI will not understand but have to learn. It needs data frombhimans

kingscare1:
So a male lecturer can not date/marry a female student and a female lecturer can not date/marry a male student? If she doesn't want let her politely refuse his advances, advice him and move on to avoid distractions as simple as that. Ok. What if he or she is older than the said lecturer.

Being a lecturer doesn't mean that he or she is richer or smarter or older or even wealthier than the student. The student is only there to get something they needed, that's all.

What I'm saying is these, everybody should give each other a chance without looking at societal levels or age bracket. If one aren't comfortable with it, best the decline respectfully without causing damage(s).

What's good for girls, it's also good for guys? Period!!!

As a lecturer, it is unethical to enter into romantic relationship with your student. This had nothing to do with gender. That law was made because such relatiohships are usually abused. It is a professional setting and you cannot bring pleasure before business.
It has nothing to do with gender. In the western world, romantic relationships between lecturer and student is prohibited. It is even illegal. In the western world, no one cares if it is even something that is done willingly. Any kind of romance between student and lecturer is punished. Thats the way it is. I dont know if the law is like that in Nigeria

lbrichman2:
Wouldn't it be a thing, if Osimhen wins the APOTY from the Turkish League?

Yeah, he would need to do more than others
But then, with Osimhen.. nothing is ever impossible!!

Dragged 2 teams to win League titles in 2 major European leagues..

I won't bet against him grabbing the APOTY again soon..

to win african footballer of the year again he has to

1. Win the champions league with galatasaray
2. Qualify for the next world cup and reach the semi finals and maybe the final.

Then, he can easily win it.
But will Galatasary win the champions league.
They need to buy like 5 very good players.
They can go into the academy of man city or maybe
get players that europeans say are not good but are actually very good
Someone like Joa Felix but the suadis have bought him.
Maybe get some wonder kids from south america.
They can try the French league. There are many hidden gems in the french league
They can try muller of bayern munich. That one may consider retireing in turkey
But i doubt it

Kalatium:
Unpopular Truth: No Woman Has the Power to Friendzone You — You Friendzoned Yourself

Let’s be real for a second, guys. The whole "friendzone" talk? It’s tired.

How many of you have said:

"She friendzoned me after all I did for her."
"She just wants to be friends, but I thought we had something."

Bro. She didn’t friendzone you. You friendzoned yourself.

Here’s how 👇


She Told You She’s Not Interested… But You Stayed

She told you:

"You’re like a brother to me"

"I’m not ready for a relationship"

"You’re so sweet, I don’t want to lose you as a friend"

And instead of saying “Cool, all the best” and moving on, what did you do?

You stayed.

You started texting her more.
You listened to her talk about other guys.
You were there every time she cried, ranted, or got bored.

All while hoping she would "see your worth someday."

That’s not loyalty. That’s self-inflicted pain. That’s emotional simp work.

You Have the Power to Say “No” Too

Here’s the cheat code:
You don’t have to accept her friendship.
You can reject the offer. Politely. Calmly. Respectfully.

Being her friend isn’t your punishment—it’s your choice.

And if you know you want more than friendship and she doesn’t, respect yourself enough to walk away.

Friendzone = Lost Time + Emotional Damage

Let’s break down what staying in the friendzone really costs you:

Your self-respect

Your time (months or even years wasted)

Your peace of mind

Your opportunities with women who actually like you

While you're giving her your attention, someone else is getting hers—and he didn’t have to send "good morning" texts for six months straight.

Hard Truth: She’s Not the Problem — You Are

A woman who says “I’m not interested” is being honest.
You staying around and secretly hoping she’ll change her mind is delusion.

And truth is, if she saw you as a man she wanted, there’d be no confusion. No mixed signals. No waiting game.

So stop blaming her for "friendzoning" you.
Start blaming yourself for volunteering for a role you don’t want.

Men Who Know Their Value Don’t Get Friendzoned

✅ A high-value man doesn’t settle for being an emotional support character.
✅ He doesn’t play therapist hoping for sex in return.
✅ He doesn’t hang around hoping she’ll "see the light."

He walks away the moment the terms don’t align with his vision.

Because peace of mind > potential that never materializes.

What Do You Think?

Have you ever put yourself in the friendzone and regretted it later?

Is it possible for a guy and girl to be just friends when one likes the other?

What’s the cleanest way to walk away from a friendship that’s not serving you?


Let’s talk 👇

This is what Sarian Martin (an actress) said in a punch newspaper interview

"My spec? Dark-skinned. No matter how fine you are, if you’re light-skinned, it’s straight to the brother zone.

You see girls have a notion about the kind of man they will like even before any man approaches them.
Some girls like tall guys, some like dark guys, some intellectual guys etc.
When you toast ladies, what you are actually doing is presenting yourself so that your spec will like you.
Girls know who will sex them in anything from 5 minutes to at most 3 months of knowing a guy.
If a girl does not like you enough for romance,then you will know after a short time. You cant stay in the friend zone for years.
Girls are funny. Like the lady in the interview above, she has already made up her mind that she cannot like a light skinned guy.
It is not always what you do but simply the girls preference. you may not even know anything about toasting but a girl can just
choose you because of her preference.
A lot of guys need to read ubunja and the red pill very well. The red pill explains this concept
Also, if a girl friend zones you, go and toast other girls. You can still remain her friend but dont even think
of anything romantic with her. just look for other girls. There are girls that like you out there. Dont waste time
in the friend zone and dont put all your hopes in someone who has friend zoned you. Just move on and remain friends with her.
You can even tell her about the girls you are dating

JayromWrites:
The fact that an "Ekitike" is moving for 95 millions Euros but no top club is willing to pay 75 million for a more established Osimhen is really baffling.



Whether we are being patriotic or not, we know Galatasaray isn't the best move for the monster.

Hopefully, e gets a better move Next summer

Really its absurd. Osumhen is even cheaper and more experienced. Maybe they deceived him with love from the fans in galatasaray. Or he did not want to lower his salary. I don't understand osimhen. He may spend the rest of hisnactive career in galatasaray l. They will use love to capture him. After six years in galatasaray it is saudi at the age of 31. Osimhen has forgotten his dreams of greatness. It has left his brain

Truvelisback:
Good day, fellas. I have been pondering on this for sometime now. Is Education truly the key to success in Nigeria? Most of us grew up hoping that after graduating from tertiary instutions, everything would fall in place but after schooling, reverse was the case.

Education and schooling are different.
Education is the process of acquiring knowledge. So it's not tied to attending a formal institution. Our view about education in nigeria is myopic and limited. Just acquire knowledge and make impact with the knowledge. You do not have to go to school to acquire knowledge.
Thomas edison had little ir no formal education but invented over 1000 things. He was self education. The problem with ys in nigeria is that we do not truly understand what education us. Mist nigerians are schooled but nit educated. That is tge irony. Mark twain said "Don't let schooling interfere with your education "

If liverpool buys Alexander isak for q29 million then Newcastle can buy osimhen. Also, if Liverpool can spend so much on isak, why not osimhen. Why can't Liverpool buy osimhen for less instead of going for isak

TheLoneCitizen:
Fabrizio has been repeating that the salary Gala offered Osimhen is 16m gross.

For context, Haaland is Europe's highest earner.
He earns 15m gross.

How are Gala doing this?

I may be wrong. But I suspect galatasaray will be forced to sell osimhen within a year. Maybe even January. They can't keep up with the expenses. Maybe mineybfrom shirt or ticket sells or his image. Ilthe president of a galatasaray may be sacked for financial recklessness. This purchase of osimhen may bankrupt the club. But maybe the president knows what he is doing. Bit with ehatbi see this is financial suicide. Abi hiw dem go pay am. This is gbese

Ballzproblemm:
Men are the romantic ones not women,a man will see a girl he likes and been fantasizing on spending the rest of his life with her , how to provide for her needs,meanwhile the girl is thinking about getting choked and banged pretty hard.

Societal values are the reasons why many of our girls in line, most women want to practice their fantasy but because of judgemental nature of Nigerians,they just lie on the bed like a logwood, they'll Open up to their fellow women or men they're comfortable with usually male friends usually the gayish type.

They always on survival quick to jump from nigga to another irrespective of your sacrifice, beautiful outwardly but inside cold , meanwhile you are cooking up romantic situations between you are your crush/girl


What I'm trying to say is ,no carry woman matter for your head ,your focus should be your sexual needs and maybe your kids that is if you decide to have one .

Nigerian girls are now on onlyfans

Even the judgemental nature of society is going down. We nigerians are gradually copying the west. Those social restrictions to female whoring are reducing.

ONDO STATE GRADUATE JOINS ONLYFANS

https://www.google.com/amp/s/tribuneonlineng.com/i-joined-onlyfans-to-improve-my-financial-situation-ondo-graduate/amp/

I mean that is an ondo state based lady feeling proud of her onlyfans nonsense.
Nude videos and pictires are not as shameful as before. The shaming mechanisms are going. Our ladies will soon show their true colors. In tHe early parT of this thread we said its the shaming mechanisms of a patriarchal, Conservative society that keeps female sexuality in check. Those cultural barriers are going down with westernisation

opes:
CONTRACT ENDS TODAY

Victor Osimhen’s loan spell at Galatasaray ends today, June 30. The star forward is now obligated to join Napoli’s preseason camp.

STRIKING STATEMENTS

Osimhen, who has not yet made a final decision, will cost Napoli a gross weekly salary of 193,000 euros. Italian outlet Il Mattino published a remarkable piece on the Nigerian forward: “They thought the Nigerian player would be in a hurry to say goodbye to Napoli. But this is shameful, because everyone was sure a solution would have already been found. But that’s not the case. Osimhen is a problem. A serious problem. And no one has yet considered the possibility that the Nigerian striker may not find a solution before the training camp begins on July 17.”

OSIMHEN’S STRATEGY

“Wait until the end of August. By then, no one in the world will pay the 75 million eurosrelease clause, and everyone will think De Laurentiis will be forced to compromise with the club Osimhen may have already agreed with. Yes, that could be the striker’s strategy. He knows nobody at Napoli wants to see him anymore, and he can just keep saying ‘no’ like he has so far. This way, he could force Napoli to offload him at a lower fee. To whom? To a club that doesn’t want to pay the full release clause, in any case.”


https://www.fanatik.com.tr/en/nba-free-agency-2025-seven-underrated-players-ready-to-impact-2586700

De laurentis himself is stubborn. What has osimhen done that they cannot forgive him. That is what is stunning Mr. If he goes on loan, they will be paying him gorgeous not playing for them. Why not just sell him at an affordable price and forget it. De laurentis wants to prove a point that us not worth it

MissOpe:
I am into him and I love him, but I'm just a very free , open minded person, you guys say men are polygamous in nature and that one woman is not meant for a man, but marriage laws limited men and they have to stick to one wife by fire by force (even though some men cheat), but I say nooooo, men aren't made for rules but rules for men..
They should be given the opportunity to explore their fantasies as far as it doesn't cause bodily harm to their partners.....
So I say again, my husband is free to have a side chick that tickles his fantasies, I have my money he has his, the only thing is if he's sleeping with them he can protect himself except he's sure she doesn't have STDs..

Life is short, let everyone chop Their lives before life chop them.....

INTERESTING. YOU LOVE A MAN BUT
DO NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM.
SOUNDS RIDICULOUS
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU NEED THERAPY,

,I GET IT YOU LIKE HIM AS A FRIEND WITH A GOOD PERSONALITY
BUT YOU LACK SEXUAL ATTRACTION

MissOpe:
I can relate with this...
I am married and given the numerous disagreement btw my spouse and I, at this point I don't mind if he has a small wife that takes his problem away from me....I don't like sex and ive told him numerous times he can get someone to warm his bed.
Marriage is not a do or die affair...
If I have my way I don't mind an opened marriage....

WHY DID YOU MARRY IF YOU DONT LIKE SEX.
WHICH MEANS YOU MARRIED EITHER FOR FINANCIAL REASONS OR
BECAUSE OF SOCIAL PRESSURE
MAYBE YOU EVEN MARRIED A MAN YOU DONT LIKE.
A LOT OF NIGERIAN WOMEN LIKE YOU NEED TO BE PSYCHOANALYZED

martineverest:
If u live in Europe,this accusation is very common ... especially Germany and Austria.some Nigerian women re beginning to do this in uk too....I think the prolonged persuasion by the man made the yield to the act against her wish


In Europe,even if u are at the point of ejaculation,if Ur girlfriend or wife ask u to stop,pls do

i WONDER WHY PEOPLE BOTHER GETTING MARRIED IN THE WESTERN WORLD.
IT SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME
tHE WESTERN WORLD WILL DESTROY ITSELF WITH ALL THESE FEMINIST IDEOLOGY IT HAS.
THE ISSUE OF A WOMAN SAYING ANYTHING AND GETTING BELIEVED IS A PROBLEM.
THAT MEANS IF YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN IN AMERICA AND YOU BREAK HERE HEART,,,,,
SHE CAN JUST LIE THAT YOU RAPED HER AND YOU GO TO JAIL FOR NOTHING.

I MEAN WHAT IF YOU PROMISE A LADY MARRIAGE BUT YOU DISSAPOINT HER. THAT COULD
BE GROUNDS FOR FUNNY THINGS LIKE "DECEPTIVE ROMANTIC LIASON" IN WHICH THE MAN
IS INDICTED FOR ENGAGING IN INTERCOURSE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
THE MEN IN THE WESTERN WORLD NEED TO PROTEST THIS FORM OR OPPRESSION IN THE NAME OF
WOMENS RIGHTS

TheSuperNerd:
Europe is still the highest level of the game in world football today but South American club football is not far behind in terms of technical quality and football proficiency.

The point is South American football deserves respect. I get sick everytime one ignorantly played down the quality of football in Pele's era all because he played for Santos and never played for any Euro side even though he played against them and beat them black and blue

Most of the players of the 1970 brazilian team which is one of the greatest teams in history were in south american leagues and few played in Europe. Even those that played in Europe were produced in South America and did so later on. From 1950 to 1970 Brazil dominated the world cup with players from there league. The south american league was at par with europe till the 1990's. That is when there was an increase in the rate european leagues bought south american players. Even that great 1982 Brazilian world cup team was a product of the Brazilian league. All these Zico, falcao, socrates etc.. Its just that the best South American players now go to Europe early. Even now if the best South American players dont go to Europe i dont understand how European leagues will be superior.
Vinicious Junior rodrygo marqunhos etc in the sao paulo or botafogo will make them simply unbeatable to European teams. Botafago without those players can compete with european teams and now imagine them with those players.
Again most of the 1978 world cup and a large part of the 1986 world cup winning argentine teams were products of their league. Even maradona played in argentina until 22. Zico of brazil came to Europe in his mid twenties.
South America and Europe are the homes of football. All the other continents are trying to catch up.
