Serie A has been the most entertaining league this season

Shocking
Absolutely! Saturday’s matchup between Roma and Inter Milan is going to be explosive. Gasperini has transformed this Roma side but Inter are going to be a big test for that defense that has conceded only 1 thus far.

Before the season started I said I was tipping Roma and my goodness have they showed out so far. It’s not even the fact that they are free scoring side, it is the fact that they combine that with a compact and incredible defense. This team has conceded only 1 goal after 4 games this season!

Gasperini (one of my favorite coaches) has his imprint all over this team with the way they attack, stay balanced in the middle and compact at the back. Top of the table clash against Inter on Saturday is going to be explosive.

the problem with this assertion is that is BAT had toed this line he would have been carpeted by OBJ like the rest of AD.

at a point you will have to stand for yourself and take your destiny in your own hands.

you cannot celebrate BAT for standing up to egbon obj on one hand, and then tell everyone to roll over for egbon gbaja on the other hand

the wike being celebrated for doing boy boy for PEJ and GEJ - if amaechi had also rolled over to do boy boy for PEJ Tinubu would not be president today
You are failing to realize that in partisan politics, especially in Naija, the embolden doesn't exist. You literally can't determine your faith in partisan politics because there many factors beyond your control before you emerge as candidate of the party. Most parties in Nigeria have a strong reward for loyalty system. Destiny in your hands is to run independently, away from the party's structure or joining another party which in this instance will permanently kill Desmond's political career in Surulere and Lagos by extension; except APC loses the governorship election in Lagos which is highly unlikely.

The BAT v OBJ example doesn't necessarily apply here. BAT and OBJ were in different parties. BAT (AD) was in the opposition while OBJ (PDP) was in power. Desmond's issue is an internal issue like most that we have seen where 'begging" was applied.

Absolutely! Until they suffer serious consequences, they will continue to get away controllable delays and flight cancellations.

This guy’s video might look like a joke , but he’s very accurate .

No local airline delay flight pass airpeace . I really wonder why people still keep patronizing them . The only time I travelled via airpeace and experienced their usual flight delay , I vowed never to use them again and I’ve not looked back .

As at August when I was in PH, the airpeace flight back to Lagos around the same time my Valuue Jet flight was scheduled ended up being delayed. They left their passengers stranded while ouw own ValueJet flight was on time .

Imagine having over 70% of their flights delayed . 🤦‍♂️.....They are literally selling delayed flights and disappoint to their customers.

/video/1?s=46
I have always maintained that a lack of strong institutions is by far one of our biggest problems. The regulators are supposed to enforce these rules/ laws especially if there is a history of abuse. Airpeace will continue to delay/ cancel flights arbitrarily because no one has punished them.

Most of these cancellations are within their control. Imagine if they had to refund passengers every time they delayed or canceled, they will have no choice than to stop with the nonsense. The NCAA should do it's job of protecting passengers.

what you are actually doing is supporting the status quo in this country where what is required to get ahead is how well you can k ss ass

it is ironic because you do not believe in what you are saying, because if you did you would not have japaed to a society where people can advance based on their competence and ability rather than on patronage

look at all the people you are defending - oh they have made money for themselves and their family.

but that is where it ends. they have no legacy whatsoever.

ffk, reno dem - that is what they are - canaries who will sing when fed, but who ultimately amount to nothing when all is said and done.


all the people who stayed in death row to kiss suge knights ar se - where are they now

all the members of AD who were doing boy boy for obj - where are they now?

the person who decided to do boy boy for pdp instead of growing apga - where is he today?
I don't think he is necessarily supporting the action, I think he is just saying it is the reality of our politics and it is definitely worth whatever shame or humiliation, especially in a country where the expectations for politicians have been watered down severely. Most politicians will do whatever it takes to get back and that is what Desmond did.

While the picture may present as sour, you can't argue that it is out of place for Desmond, an Omoluabi to prostrate or kneel for Gbaja who is his elder by age, experience in politics and status in the society. It is part of the Yoruba culture, especially if he is seeking forgiveness; I mean Desmond alluded to it before he went on his knees. OBJ still kneels, bows or attempts to prostrate to Traditional rulers he respects.

Nigerian politics is a different ball game, going back to Nollywood isn't an option and he has realized that. He wants to remain a career politician and wants another chance at governance, so he needs to do what he needs to do. Politics is more about party loyalty and supremacy than what is even right or popular.

izzou:
This picture of Wike kneeling doesn't depict the same thing as that of Mr Lover boy.

So if APC is relegated today, Desmond go commit seppuku?

You have lost. It's over. What's with the extra ridicule? Will Gbaja give him the HoR seat again?

Make man dey behave like man, abeg
The truth is, this is Nigerian politics, he has no choice, especially if he wants to remain a politician in Lagos State. Gbaja through Asiwaju and APC control Surulere and is influential in the politics of the state. Every political decision that affects Surulere and many aspects of Lagos go through Gbaja.

At 52, Desmond is still young in politics, while at 64 Gbaja is still going to be around for a while. Ambode did the same thing to Asiwaju, difference is we don't have videos but we know there was a lot of begging. He has since been reintegrated into the party and will have to wait another opportunity which will happen in the near future.

Desmond's "begging" isn't about today, it is about tomorrow, otherwise, he will fizzle out. Lagos has a ton of young and bright politicians waiting in the wings for an opportunity. I think this was released to further embarrass him, how Desmond responds going forward will determine a lot. In comparison to Ambode, Desmond's is worse because of how he conducted himself publicly in the buildup and on the day of election.

I am not doing this merry go round with you this season! The GOAT has led your bees to a winning start with a great performance and of course you have gone missing, pretending like you are unaware..

Come pay homage to the GOAT!

Same City beat you like thief repeatedly last season. Stop waiting for others to fight your fight.
We did not need you sissies last season, especially after you embarrassed yourself by celebrating losses to big teams to spite Arsenal. I am assured you have once again carried that irresponsible and mediocre mentality into this season.

I know the bruising and pain from your 12th failed attempt to win me is still hurting you.. Don’t worry, we have moved on, help yourself by moving on from that beating!

If you misconstrue this post to mean I don’t believe your midfield and defense have serious issues, then I am not sorry for your inability to comprehend.

Chelsea have an obvious problem with their defense and midfield, however, while your attack is ok, they contribute massively to some of the undeserved pressure you guys suffer in the middle and back. You are playing a front 3 not a front 2 or lone striker, that means you have the numbers to actually press from the top. If your attackers, all 3 force the press, opponents will have no choice but to “bude” the ball into your half and you will win possession back immediately to restart the attack.

Palmer, Alajo and Pedro are lazy players; they don’t press from the top. They essentially watch opposing defenders build from the back with no resistance from your attacking players. You’d observe that opponents find their way into your middle and backline with ease after stringing passes between their defenders. The goalkeepers are not kicking the ball from their box into your half, they are passing their way from the back into your half.

Last week, Rice on several occasions after we strung passes at the back without any pressure just decided to stroll from our defense, through your non-existent middle and was immediately in attacking zones. Yes, your attack is good but in today’s football, especially if the coach is expecting a press, then the effort to win the ball needs to start from the top.

Teams are approaching Chelsea with so much comfort and assurance that they can actually build from back because non of your attacker will press them or attempt to stop them from the top. If your front three are not pressing hard enough then it complicates an obvious problem with your midfield and attack.

When your attackers lose the ball, they are annoyingly lazy in their efforts to win the ball back. There is so much indiscipline particularly positional indiscipline with Chelsea and that is a coaching issue than player issue but it can also be laziness from the players.

Watch opponents when they hold the ball against Chelsea, they easily build triangles without stretching the triangles. Some teams like Arsenal go as far as building possession squares with Chelsea players chasing the ball.

Again, I have never said your attack in comparison to your midfield and defense is the problem; however, they can help.

Sowore exposing his obvious ignorance when it comes to experience in governance. This is another example of why I never take his candidacy seriously.
