I wonder if the words liars, scammers, conmen are all Nigerian words and not English

See white man worship

jaybee3:
I guess you see them as demigod and no point telling you how they view me at my office.

Run along!

Specialist900:
We should challenge honestly. Atleast we made stride in challenging the big teams in games this season as opposed to last season.

Nope we did not so better against top opposition
Just that the embarrassing tennis scores of 2014 were not repeated

Arsenal against the top 6 (top 4 plus spuds n Liverpool)

EPL

10 matches

2015 season

2 Wins 5 draws 3 losses (wins city 2 nil, Liverpool 4 1
losses to Chelsea, united and spuds)

2014 season

3 Wins 3 draws 4 losses (wins against Liverpool, spuds twice

Losses to city, Chelsea, Liverpool n united)



2014 season arsenal was more competitive than the just concluded one

Specialist900:
each season has its peculiarity. We finished 4th last season and 3rd this season. That's progress

Yes in a way you can look at it that way

But in another way it means you won less games compared to a season arsenal was really competing

we shouldn't, we should aspire for more which I think we're. It's wrong to totally dismiss the progress made

Ok..i look forward to more aspirations

Theo has already started saying the normal ish at the end of the season

"I don't see why arsenal should not be challenging for the title"

There is a riferous something on this thread..

Spy360:
So Dnipro that lost last nights Europa league finals are mediocres. So by not finishing top of your class every year you are a mediocre?
So as Chelsea did not win the FA cup this season they are mediocres?
Bros please spare the rod.

Mediocrity means not making progress not just being at the top of everything. There can be only one first but there are many winners.

An example is Swansea finishing 8th. Much praise has gone to Gary Monk because that is progress. PROGRESS.

So like it or loath it by finishing 3rd this season it's progress for Arsenal, and if or when we win the FA cup, then we have excelled.

Afterall Chelsea hasn't won the FA cup for the past two seasons.

Are you aware arsenal finished 3rd with less points than last season where they finished 4th


Chelsea has not won in the last seasons yet won epl ND league cup..but heck...arsenal is better for winning facup

OwKay

Specialist900:
na wa o. When we were on drought you'll said we should try and win even if it's a spoon, now we won the FAcup and the talk has changed to win the UCL. Hmm

So we should continually stew in facup pot?

solid3:
Thank God I don't eat chocolate, only do buy it for them babes I want to straff.

Classic behavior of some people
Nonchalant

What about people buying to straff your sisters.and female family members

Spy360:
So being FA cup champion is mediocrity? Man you really hate o!

I guess half bread is better than none
Wenger has now made FAcup the standard

Why bother competing for EPL n UCL when you can win facup

So all dahlia wanted was an apology from Esther

A bit anticlimactic

Keky:
Why not answer the question bro? So we should blame Arsene for Henry missing a lot of chances in the ucl final or Kos and Szcz mistake also?

Wenger is the genius of our time
Others are winning major titles..he is winning acclaim for number of days topping the table

R u satisfied

raumdeuter:
That is a lie. Chelsea played on Thursday and on Sunday still finished 3rd in a crisis laden season

EPL teams give their best and lose to superior teams

WHen they lose they now come with the excuse that they didnt take it serious

How can anyone say Everton and Liverpool didnt take Europa serious this season

Lol..

sebod:
You mean EPL teams don't take it serious? I disagree! They play in an overrated league and get flogged anyhow outside their league.

raumdeuter:
Who told you EPL teams dont take it serious? Didnt Chelsea an EPL team win recently
After they lose out they come to lie they dont take it serious
Like when you fail an exam you now turn back to say you didnt even take it serious
That was the same thing Italian teams were saying when they were poor at it
The CL nko? abi they are not taking that one too serious

EPL teams play with a mentality that they can't play on Thursday and Sunday
This mentality is flawed cos others do it

And yes epl teams are overhyped

sebod:
Congratulations to Sevilla. They gave good account of spanish football. I hope the EPL teams are ready for them in the champions league next season.

Yes

Bacca scored 2 super goals

I wonder why EPL teams don't take . it serious

skentelelady:
Bros what are u saying

Was it AW dat asked diaby to fight on d field dat led to his red card?

Why not blame his as well for Lehman's red card against Barcelona?

You guys just heap blame on Wenger unnecessarily

Quit hating please

Continue the Wenger love...

Continue finding excuses for consistent mediocrity season in season out

Continue..

,move on

fetty2008:
I want you guys to advice me, am In a relationship with a girl, I love her but I don't understand her because;

_I do call her and text her some romantic, inspiration, motivation and prayer messages. But, she wouldn't reply (Acknowledge) message or call.
_If I travelled she wouldn't call to ask whether I landed safely.
_If I sent her money to her Bank account or card (minimum #1,000) she wouldn't call whether she see it or not

---Advice...!!!!

Talius:
That's true and also considering her been swallowed at the end of the season by that kree stone. She probably would go to the dark side full time cos she's harbouring the thoughts of doing bad thing to bad people now imagine when it spreads to good people who offends her a bit and then to innocent sideline watchers....Its a possibility sha

we dont know what the kree stone does

if u follow d backstory of the inhumans, you will get that they were a result of experimentation by the kree who eventually decided to abandon or destroy them

this stone may be a means to do so

Also what kind of annoying bumbleness by fitz to release the latch and not put it back

elantraceey:
I just found out two things that can seriously shake a nation .

-Fuel
power supply.

you just spoke about the keystone of civilization - Energy

Our collective psyche has been so bastardised to the extent that these basic piece of the puzzle is no more basic
Until the security of energy is sorted out, we will still be in this position

Stillfire:
Who's talking about the Scots traditional clothes? See the people we are competing with today and no woman has told him to remove his skirt.

hahhahahahaha

Stillfire:
The issue in relationships in the West lie with excessive freedom or liberties and substituting one sexism with another sexism. While the comment you bolded has to do with the African society. If we are empowering girls, boys need to be taught to adapt to the empowered female. The recurring theme in many of my arguments between male and female relationship is totally against excessive freedom or giving one gender power over the other. Power is intoxicating and whether in male or female, people will bastardize the power they have over another.

sweet..balance is key...50/50.... not sure its workable as humans are wired to be hierachical
I agree fully with your assertions on feminism or menism being overboard
If u r this articulate, why dont u debate more on these boards rather than some who are just bandwagoners

freecocoa:
Yes, I have seen adverts wanting a particular gender, I ask any way and they look at me crazy(eg I applied to be a concierge at a hotel and was told they only took males, asking if I didn't read the advert?)

I know guys that can't get jobs as househelps because the people looking, want a woman for the job .

ok,,, expressing that preference in print is an offence..yes?

na wa o

freecocoa:
Dig up the thread, sholly and I called out those people on it, I have told you countless times that, not everyone who claims to be a feminist is, you shouldn't get to be denied luxuries based on your gender, that's what we are all about male or female, so coogar, I am fighting for you too.

Hod did you make sure to arrive that conclusion on the job? Can't a woman carry a ladder?

i have been saying this since 1960

too much bandwagoning

freecocoa:
It doesn't end at a job, I have had something I deserved handed to a man and the reason was because("ibu nwanyi"(get a translator). I have wanted a job and told they needed a man without knowing I couldn't do the job.

Is sexism not marginalisation?

i was trying to point the fact i dont like women so much does not mean i deny them a job
something like that

this is a good example
i wish you could be more specific ... type of job, was it the interview panel that told u they wanted a man or was it advertised that it was a male only job

as u aware that such discrimination is a crime

freecocoa:
I have been put down verbally for being a woman.

Some part of my state or region, still have traditions that marginalise people.

i would have liked specific instances of gender discrimination
That sexism exists was never in doubt

I wanted to know if there was a job you were not given due to the fact that you were a woman or paid less just because you were a woman

However thanks for providing instances

these practices are dying out and hoipefully will be outdated in another 2 generations

I have seen a man berated for not being able to do what " a man" is supposed to do, vice versa.

there are certain expectations placed on each gender by society. is that what you mean

I have seen women suffer for not being a certain way.

I have seen a man treated differently for being a man, vice versa.

which way is the woman expected to be

freecocoa:
I have experienced marginalisation, people still try to marginalise me and some people I know.

So your point is?

can you give one or two instances

Stillfire:
There are many factors, economic and enlightenment are one of them as you say. I would include tradition/cultural/religious practices especially in Northern Nigeria. I would also include home bringing. In the South, we see good statistics for girl literacy but there is a reliance of men being the providers so 'me as a woman do not need to do so much.' Also if we are interested in empowering the girls, are the boys ready for such empowerment? Because what I've found out is that many women have been empowered,[b] but many men do not respond favorably to these empowerment and feel threatened especially in the arenas of family and relationships. [/b]Female empowerment is rubbish if the men are no taught to adapt to these changes in societal norms.

good u agree there is improvement.
general enligtenment, education and better economic opportunities favour eveyone irrespective of gender

can you explain the bolded or list what you mean
are u saying in the west, there are no issues in relationships also?

For me, I don't lend people money, its better u die say I no give u , than for me to dey regret, I will never go to hell because I no borrow u money 'cos its not by force, I don't care if na him go kill u, everybody go sha die someday so u are not the first,

He craved for the dinner not me.

Which kain yeye sharing be that? i'd rather pay all.

he craved...

so u were not hungry also?

u did not enjoy d atmosphere?

Talius:
Exactly, I can't wait for the premiere of my favourite shows, just keeping myself busy with the ones I haven't been watching before now. My series catalogue promises to get bigger come 2015/2016 TV season

cool

lol

crackhaus:

It's all gimmicks.
The real problem is that some of these NL females just hate that we don't type things they like more often, the alternative is to go aggressive by calling us misogynists and sexists.

ok.. so why did u not insist to pay for your half of the meal
50-50

VictoriaBee:
You really have a feminist meter?

I don't care anyway.

Stillfire:
Because these Western ones have 'bellefull'. In Africa we have bigger female issues to fry, like how we can reduce in female illiteracy, preventing Yerima from marrying our little daughters, to name a few.

You r one of the few one can have a good debate with
I agree with these topical and burning issues

Don't you think this is linked to the prevailing economic and enlightenment issues here

I mean how many middle class fathers give out their daughters out if she is not educated

This is a human issue
Poverty perpetuates d cycle.

VictoriaBee:
Not when he/she isn't handicapped.
Well, I have helped my dad, mum and junior brother.
I have helped elders in church or anywhere too.
He invited me for that and he paid for it.
If he visits, I cook and serve him with my money.

You mean he paid for your half of the meal
You are not a feminist ...

crackhaus:
Trust me, no NL female will ever admit to personally experiencing misogyny in the real world.

That would surely be a buzz kill on the notion they throw around here about being surrounded by only good men... misogynists and sexists only exist on NL, they know no one like that in real life.

I have asked each and everyone of them to give me one instance

All I hear is gobbledygook

Do they work..they do
Do they earn the same as their male peers...they do.
Have u been denied a promotion or career due to your gender..no

Why carry this thing on your head...mum





Na wa

VictoriaBee:
Do Nigerian men open door for woman? lmao.
well, i believe anyone should do it out of respect irregardless of gender involved.

Anyone that feels so.

Yes, marriage is union of two people.

Out of generosity.
Some stronger women also help older men, older women and weaker women.

Lmao! it's based on gender, biko.
it doesn't mean female and weaker to men.
I can bet my last kobo, that Serena will beat some men in lawn tennis and it doesn't make them less equal to serena.
I believe that men are different from women.


No


Queen Idia was a warrior.

Be the change
Have u opened the door for a guy

Have u paid for your portion of the meals at a dinner for two


Answer truthfully

Stillfire:
This is an equality issue and as a conservative prude I really do not want to see another woman or man's chest randomly.
1, 2) Western men should be told to cover up instead rather than Western women not covering up. That was their culture, otherwise they are hypocrites for campaigning for nipple freedom since they insinuated African women as primitive for being bare-chested, unless they are now the primitive ones. Society dictates to the media and not the other way round. Excessive sexual freedom does nothing for society rather you unleash deviants with loose morals to the society.

3) Brea.sts were sexualized by societies who covered up the chest area, primarily the white man. And Africa was known as a sexual hot-spot to the white man due to the nudity in Africa. Such nude liberties cannot even work in Africa today, because African minds have been polluted already.

Haha
At least you articulated a stand rather than liberal gobbledygook

So while we work on reducing views of male chests, why r ur sisters advocating total lawlessness

VictoriaBee:
My opinion? it depends if the woman is a feminist and clamour for equality.
If she does, they should go their seperate way without paying it.
If she doesn't, the man should pay the darn thing.

Good..in this case
I support all women to be feminists so they can stop angling for men's monies
