Usmanovic95:
I need to render an apology to Eric Chelle, I doubted his abilities when he got the job

Maybe he should be given a shot the next world cup?....when Nwabali will have retired...

Chai, Nwabali.....hmmm....okay oh...

Akor makes 4. Efficient.
The Bangs of Osimen without the noise of Olufsen.

Honestly I just pity Reinaldo. Been watching him since his early days at Atletico. Solid defender. We have nothing like him in our squad bar Bassey. Fate just placed him in the wrong country. A lion leading a herd of sheep. What can the lion do.

Osimen can do a lot more about his positioning.
Not his strong point, plenty of offsides instead of goals.

I understand the nuisance value of purposely staying offside in attack but you have to be very technical, very aware to pull it off.

Akinola100:
Sebi many of you for this forum and beyond were lambasting him then (last AFCON), including threats and cyber bully, now you are praising him. Thank God he didn’t go the way of Troost Ekong.

He was very poor the last tournament, and the qualifiers and absolutely deserved the heat.

If he wasn't criticized will he raise his level....no.

Absolutely.
Can I call him a late bloomer or is it too early to sing praises.

DSS1335:
We should be expecting rebuttal from Wike tomorrow, the only man who over pamper the judiciary so they can do his bidding

Not a chance. His band if off somewhere else polishing the silver.

prinsam30:
Osimeh no wear mask today oo and he scored buh offside

Probably because of the rain.

If Nwabali fumbles today, Chelle will have himself to blame and take full responsibility.

seunmsg:
Wike himself needs to cool down. He’s overplaying his hand. There is a saying that “he who runs away from fight leave to fight another day”. “Maja masa lafin mo okunrin ogun”.

Now that Fubara is in APC, he should stop attacking him. His position as FCT minister is guaranteed. He singlehandedly nominated all the political appointees from Rivers State. God has been so kind to him. It’s time he let the governor be.

We want a united house in Rivers State and Wike is doing everything to make that impossible. If he wants to take control of APC in the state, he should resign from PDP and join the party. If not, he should leave the governor alone.

Encouraged to fight the governor last year, leave the governor alone this year.

Unprincipled politics, the corrupt seed eroding the little values left in a crumbling society.

Mrchippychappy:
Manhunt while he is in France eating at a 5 star restaurant with Kagame. Nigeria don enter one chance

Na so.

As he is ordering frog legs and fine wines, he is also ordering manhunt....

Kagame is like...'Mr. President , I have never ordered that before, what does it taste like...

benardtotti:
Wike is not in a position to determine who Apc gives ticket to , wike is not a card carrying member of the apc , the governor is a card carrying member, the apc did not dictate to pdp or any other party who they should field , so wike cant tell apc what to do , apc is not pdp or th3 other useless parties who cant kee0 their house in order , apc is very strict and if wike decides to misbehave he will learn the hard way.

Oh dear....
So the APC wants to rule a 'peaceful' Rivers state after all the chaos it has caused the PDP in that state through its principal agent, Mr Wike....how can this can...

This is okay. It is America that is the problem of Nigerian security....is this not a disgrace.

[quote author=Angelfrost post=138019666]Timely manner?!! They have more manager turnover than anyone else in the league.

So, which one is timely manner?!! Should they line up managers to change twice every season?!!


Where is the stability in that?!!





That is exactly what I am saying.
It is good, visionary management to see a stable, long term relationships with a quality hired coach. You can't say that everyone of the dozen coaches in the dugout at the Bridge in the last two and a half decades was bad.

Some won trophies, where are they, why couldn't they keep them. I liken it to serial philandering where a man cannot settle down with a partner but is always after the greener grass in the other compound.

Is Conte a bad coach. Someone that won multiple titles with Juventus. Why couldn't they humble themselves and keep him, warts and all.

Naijagoodman:
Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto are so so so useless as attackers. They are the reason Chelsea is dead

They are good players needing good coordination.
Chelsea should learn to embrace and live with good quality coaches and at the same time learn to discard poor quality ones in a timely manner. This they have not managed in the last decade.

How can you describe money coming into your account. Isn't it when you send money you annotate.

This will be a recurring problem particularly amongst the less literate or tech savvy for a long while to come and trust Nigeria, at the end one side will have to give up and find another way to tax Nigerians.

In an economy where employment is low and dependency is high, a lot of transactions will remain indescribable.

AqualinaXYZ:
Please make una no vex I wan ask one mumu question



These news that always make headlines like bandits Fulani herders killing 10, 30, 60, 100 people etc



Are they actually true or na just exaggerated



Like has anyone seen these killings face to face or seen dead bodies



Because I no dey too believe say all these killings will be happening and Tinubu won’t swing into action



But if it’s true that these killings happen and Tinubu kept quiet



Then It’s safe to say Tinubu is a failure



I no wan use the words like mumu or foolish because it will be an insult to mumu and foolish people comparing them to that mannequin in Aso Rock

It will take an awfully long rope to swing all the way from Paris to Niger state.

Governance this regime is all down to two things, money and politics. Everything else is a capital fail heading towards the 3rd year of this administration.

But there are certain wars the Nigerian military cannot fight. Agenda backed wars with the purpose of cultural or religious dominance.

Because the very security forces are from diverse and multi religious backgrounds so if there is an agenda they either do nothing or fight themselves.

This is the problem in Nigeria that cannot be resolved without restructuring.

No one has answered the question yet.
Who are those rampaging through parts of this country scorching earth, driving inhabitants into camps, taking over their lands and rebranding them culturally and religiously.

Can Falana answer this.
Or he like many will do well to pretend this is not going on.

Watched the match. The whole team played poorly. Al-Hilal were decisive in play but Al-Nassr players appeared jaded. Perhaps the weight of the good start got to them.

No way. I always ride shotgun.
Can't sit at the back for any reason.
And this is one of them, to check out the driving.

If he sat in front he will probably have been cautioning the driver and prevented the accident, while his crew may have been less expressive since it was not familiar territory.

Is there any striker that was bought for big money over the summer that is doing well in any of the major European leagues....Gyokeres, Isak, Sesko....

I am watching Jonathan.Davids play for Juventus right now and the guy is just a disaster.

Lots of money was lost over the past summer

Great news when you embarking on your great tax capture. Great memo to all taxpayers. That they will mismanage it and cover up their backsides.

TOPCRUISE:
I think Maduro did all his best to be diplomatic. Trump just want him out of that position as President

He lost the last elections and refused stepping down, manipulating institutions as typical third world tyrants do. He has no international legitimacy to negotiate anything.

He should have just stepped down and left Venezuela willingly when he had the chance to. Instead he started calling for amnesty for all his lackeys and a huge payoff from the Venezuelan treasury like Assad did with his. But POTUS refused that.

seunmsg:
Wow! Just wow! It’s a crime to be weak in this world. If you’re not powerful, don’t stand in the way of the powerful.

Again, kudus to President Tinubu for opting for diplomacy in resolving Nigeria’s issue with Donald Trump. We must do everything not to ever be in the same situation as Venezuela.

Sadly, the ordinary folks in Venezuela will be the biggest losers of this regime change. The Americans will come in, milk the country dry and then abandon them to another American backed puppet dictator. For the common man, it’s the same story. Nothing ever gets better.

How can they lose when the person they voted is banished to Spain and a tyrant is ruling. Do.you know just how expensive tyranny is. How much of the resources of the country goes to settling people when the leaders are not legitimately ruling.

You think all those Generals in Venezuela keep quiet and watch the impunity for free...

There is no substitute for a working democracy
You win legitimately, you govern by popularity and everything goes well for the people. You impose yourself and your will and you and your citizens will pay dearly.

Kai, what is this....
Are you advertising for Gestid.

No violence please.
The world has enough already.

Are Nigerians this dumb.
Little wonder this country is like this, the people led about like donkeys.

China did not have to promise stable electricity. They were just building power plants, commissioning one every two weeks, adding the equivalent of 20,000 megawatts each year.

Talk is cheap, where is the action.
While you guys are busy dancing round budgets, gallivanting all over the world seeking so called investors and turning your offices to contracts bazaars, the people who know what do in other climes are quietly delivering.

You don't have to promise anything, just start delivering.

Folks nothing can be abundant and affordable if not founded on industry. Power supply is a value chain involving multisectorial investments in all sorts of production. And the more localised the industries are the faster the pace of development.

What do we produce in Nigeria on an industrial scale to fastrack power supply... practically nothing. Even the low voltage cable sector is hit by macro economic headwinds of cost and inflation.

When are we going to re vive ALSCON to produce high voltage aluminum conductors enmasse. When are we going to revive Ajaokuta to produce galvanized steel for transmission towers, when will we have dedicated porcelain factories in Kogi producing power insulators rather than shit cans and bathroom tiles.

These are the things visionaries envisage and begin to do for sustainable development. Not empty promises based on hot air for political capital.

And by the way. No nation will ever attain the level of industrialization required to prosper her people without affordable electricity. And no electricity supply mix is possible without coal plants. We have not even started. South Africa gets 74 percent of it's energy from coal plants, China the world leader in renewables still depends on coal for 62 percent of it's energy needs.

So that Minister has not even started. He should wake up from slumber.

ZombieTAMER:
Wike has no constitutional right to contest Rivers governorship election again..

so I don't see him clashing with Fubara in any way..

he should quietly retire to Abuja and not let greed devour him ...
funny how Wike is accusing someone about lack of integrity
someone who betrayed his party for a minister position




please Yoruba man , what concerns South east with this thread..

Wike is from Rivers
Fubara is from Rivers
Mbata is from Rivers..

... are you seeing south east in your dreams

If Wike was from South west, that's the only way he would succeed, in the South west.. they're wired differently..

Many before him have tried to be godfather in South East and South South, but we know how it all ended.... where is Igbinedion, Chimaroke, Victor Attah, Alamesiegha, Duke etc,
it just doesn't work in the south.

Agreed.
Easterners have always been Republican.
That's why the colonialists didn't quite like them.
They were much more difficult to control under one head.

While the north and west were more like sheep, the East and south are more like goats.

Not to sound condescending in anyway, because these attributes have both the positive side and the negative.

I mean, in my opinion I love mutton, tastes wonderful but is essentially heart glue and will kill you in time. Goat meat however is great for healthy eating....but it smells goddam awful. I guess that's how the world works.

And to think that a government will seek to take from people earning slightly above 50 dollars a month or less than two dollars a day is just so cruel.

That ridiculous threshold of N800,000 is equivalent to 550 dollars a year or One dollar, 50 cents a day. So if I earn two dollars a day I am liable to give a portion to government...haba.

Considering that the United Nations has adopted the World Bank's IPL (International Poverty Line), that delineates poverty from extreme poverty to be survival on 3 dollars a day, our government intends taxing anyone earning above One dollar fifty cents. That is taxing Extreme Poverty.

This is mean and absolutely unconscionable.

That is what I keep on harping.
We don't have an income problem.
We have a SPENDING problem.

Collect all the oil receipts (Saudi amounts), collect all the taxes (Finland levels), incur all the debts possible (to Japan's depths), recover all the loots and repatriations as far back as slave trade.

If you have a spending and accountability problem like this financially sick in the head country. EVERYTHING will be wasted and the intended development will remain a mirage.

Like someone was saying today.
The easiest way to steal public resources is the veneer of service. Do the things the public badly needs even at a million times the cost and you will get away with it. As a matter of fact, you will be hailed and praised.

That is why the social intervention programs have sprung the vilest cases of theft, followed closely by the almighty scams of public works, popularly known as infrastructure, where hyper inflated so called contracts are awarded, shoddily done and hopelessly supervised.

Iamzik:
Government is complicit in the ridiculously high cost of toad construction in Nigeria. We have quarry, tar and cheap labour in Nigeria. How come it costs X10 more to construct 1km of road in Nigeria than anywhere else in west Africa? Are the construction companies importing soil and rocks or are the government officials embezzling money though the construction projects?

Exactly.
The cancer called 'contracting' and lately 'consultancy' will forever lead to deficit budgeting because it feeds an endless cycle of corruption and an insatiable need for more white elephant projects.

It is a culture that has to change for this country to make it out of the economic doldrums.
