It's shame! 🤮

The open voter inducement and buying is shameful to put kindly.

I really wish we were able to bring TJ back to the San Siro, even if it was on loan. Sadly, we can't afford him..

The weaponization of poverty in Nigerian politics, particularly during an election cycle is sickening!

We have no regulation/ enforcement on how political parties manage campaign finances, use finances or donations.

I believe I have raised this in the past and its a shame nothing has changed.

Too Arrogant, he will surely destroy our dressing room

Delap ke? God abeg oh!

On Osimhen, my question is, can Arteta handle his personality, temperament and profile? Arteta hasn't done well with players who are vastly experienced, outspoken and have imposing personalities. We saw what happened with Auba and Ozil. Osimhen may push the players and increase accountability on the pitch but I don't think Arteta can handle or help him with his outbursts which to your point can be disruptive and ultimately derail the season.

Didn’t like his game , especially at the start but you couldn’t question his work ethics and dedication to the game and any team he played for.

He tried to get a team but I don’t think it worked out. Happy retirement Brodie!

Buendia looked really good as well in the middle.

This Madjo kid is looking special. Still needs a lot of refinement as expected but the talent looks evident.

rabazamba:
Thank you nwannem. You have arrested your brother and you have a matter in court now that you instituted but whenever you are called to the stands, you are always conveniently out of the country on tour, the court has seized Jude's passports and he cannot travel because of the matter, So why all this social media show when you know you have the evidence to nail your brother, initially he said he never received a dime from the Jude but the Jude showed evidence of the 60/40 payment . See ehn as I got to the part where he started crying in the video, I vex off am. Jude sef uselllleeess, employing scum like Very Dark Man to come to his aid, now VDM alias Martins Okoye has even given Nigerians more ammo against the greedy Jude

Baba, I have always advised people to refrain from taking strong sides in family matters like this because from personal experiences every side get him own story.

By no means am I saying Peter is lying, Infact, he may be saying some truths, however, I’d like to hear from Paul and Jude; I believe they’d have their own dirt/ story on Peter as well.

This SM sympathy and validation he is seeking isn’t going to help the family, if anything, it worsens the already volatile situation. Since the matter is in court, then he should allow the court do its job.

I just read we are offering MLS to Chelsea or scummies
This is one of the reason I don't like this guy be this, he doesn't like youngsters at all

I am just holding and praying this is not true. Bruno is a great addition but he turns 29 this year, so why the hell are we trying to sell a 19 year old that has proven over and over that he can hold his own in that position. Why should Bruno's arrival immediately translate into MLS being surplus to the team! Finally getting over the hump is great but I am sorry, still not sold on Arteta's overall coaching/ management abilities. We may as well shut down Hale at this point and please nobody should remind me of Dowman because it is only a matter of time under Arteta before he also disappears.

RIP Nellie..

Ibime:
Some Igbo people said it's cultural taboo to arrest your brother

So I shouldn't arrest who is stealing my children's future? Culture kill you dia

I don’t know where you got that from but that is serious misinformation. Siblings (brothers oh/ sisters oh) arrest each and litigate against each other wella.

Go to courts across the East and you will see brothers at each other’s throats because of inheritance, land issues..Wetin u think say lawyers take Dey chop for East? Most times na who hold bar fit oppress pass. Peter no fit use police oppress Jude nor Paul.

If Peter has strong evidence to back up these claims, he should go to court and stop this social media frenzy that is piling more dirt on an already stained last name.

If reconciliation through friends, family and associates isn't working then go to court and get your justice. Managing/ navigating sibling relationships no easy, especially, during adulthood.

The other day one say him don change birthday Abi na last name? They are all self-centered and immature siblings. When this one trend finish, dem go wait for another year to start their nonsense.

(Nwanne no put mouth o, I am using your post to address my brother-in-law)

Someone like Airmark who is a bgt but couldn't resist marrying a beautiful Igbo woman that gave birth to beautiful Igbo children for him.

But he is accusing Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour of not being pure Yourba

Nwanne, I don kukuma comot mouth..

E dey among every ethnic group. Some Yorubas have issues with other subgroups. Even within the same town sef, some have issues with you marrying from one family or the other

Almost as if na.only your blood brother/sister you fit marry wey dem no go see fault

Absolutely Dayo!

Igbos are not the only ones that gate keep, this stuff is prevalent across Nigeria. I mean there are still thousands of Igbo marriages that involve Imo and Anambra families.

Off the top of my head I can count 10 that I know and I talking of recent marriages. It is entirely up to the couple, it is not a taboo.

Ijebu’s for instance have their own stereotypes, when it comes to marriage amongst other Yorubas or even Ekiti people. I have seen People warn their kids and loved ones to avoid Ijebus.

The difference may be because Igbo’s amplify the entire process of our traditional wedding rites and maybe that is why it is easier to pick out.

In all I celebrate those who are in inter-tribal (outside of their main tribe) marriages or relationships, it is not easy and takes a lot of courage and keeping outside noise away from your relationship.

No world cup for the men

No world cup for the women

Flying eagles on the verge of missing out on the U20 world cup as well

I think the Women still have an opportunity with the playoffs, they only missed out on an automatic spot. They face South Africa I believe.

Irrespective, our football is regressing. The Super Falcons were our only bright spot in Africa at least but they looked poor in this WAFCON.

This amoru is a very useless coach

We no kukuma get joy before. E go chop correct backlash from fans, we no Dey waste time.

Playing Chukwueze as RWB na express way for that right side. We have not looked like a team that even trains, no chemistry, Worsestill, we have an assembly of useless players. We need to move on from scraps like RLC

andrewbaba44:
I am sure you meant they sold them well right ?

From Gordon Tonali to Bruno ,everybody pay better money to get them 😂

Yea that’s what I meant. Don’t forget about Isak as well..

Which kain yeye family game we dey play laidis?

1-2

andrewbaba44:
They have enough money to rebuild

They will be fine if they have good scouts

They are also making a killing from player sales.

Compare how much they bought Tonali (Milan) / Gordon (Everton)/ Bruno (Lyon) and how much they are selling them..

Milan derby friendly

Milan 0-1 Inter..

2nd half (66)

Finished 1-1

Bishop was a good man then

All of us know what we are doing… all of us!

I am not doing the chicken and egg thing with Dayo..

raumdeuter:
We shouldn't act like these Bishops do not have their biases, Cardinal Onaiyekan has never hidden his own bias against Tinubu even before he was sworn in

So his criticism should be considered in the light of his bias

And when his Eminence criticized Jonathan and Buhari for insecurity and massive corruption, did he have his own hidden bias against them?

iamoyindamola:
We got for 15m only to sell for 7m, we need to do well na

The better question should be, why did we get him in the first place knowing we are not going to rotate the squad?

princeabdul:
LOL. You're singing the bishop 's praise because he said what you like to hear but if another bishop sing Tinubu' s praise too you'll call them sell out, agenda na orphan

It’s not what I’d like to hear, it’s the economic reality of Nigerians and you are welcome to politicize or feign ignorance towards it. When his own Bishops come out to defend or politicize, they should remember they will return to the pulpit and still try to cajole their followers who are enduring the pain for offertory.

While I don’t live in Nigeria, I am very active in the economy and lives of many and know what people are enduring, so you can get hired Bishops or religious people to sing his own praise.

I am not a hypocrite, I know when to call a spade a spade. I am not going to live abroad and pretend like everything hasn’t worsened in Nigeria.

Friends and associates who previously were at least ok, are now struggling and asking for help. The middle class is gradually eroding! See, I speak of my own experience and I don’t have time to sugar coat things especially when the facts are in your face.

CrystalTiger:
Don't want to imagine what the second tenure of this man would look like if he's this way in his first tenure.. Can't say if it's outright lack of empathy or he's just out of touch with the reality of the average Nigerian..

Kudos to the Catholic bishops for their courage to speak truth to his face..

I am so proud of these Bishops, they make me proud to be Catholic. These are not the Bishops he rented for his inauguration to gain credibility! They were direct, firm and did not waver in their position nor their countenance. From the video, you can see they were not ready to give in and pushed back when Tinubu shared otherwise.

Tinubu isn’t oblivious of the situation, I just think it has overwhelmed him and he is fighting to save face. These are the sort of reality checks Tinubu needs, especially from the church/ religious organizations.

This isn’t about the sycophants he has surrounded himself with, it is about being a disaster and a failure in leading the country in the face of hardship. We used this same excuse of being surrounded by sycophants or a cabal for Buhari and here we are doing same for Tinubu.

Before he pursued the office of the Present, I said, all 3 notable contenders know the economic realities of Nigeria, if they were going to use it as an excuse to fail further then they should drop out.

Sadly, I still think he’d get his 2nd term. The opposition parties in Nigeria are fighting against way too factors held by the incumbent to get a fair fight in the polls. I also glad the Bishops addressed that issue.

BlueRayDick, Roland17

I have been saying it from the first one that we will not take it serious until some gets seriously hurt or it becomes fatal. The last one against Efe, I asked who is regulating these fights and someone was saying NBF was involved and you look at this one and wonder how NBF is involved in such? This is reckless and dangerous, it is only a matter of time before some one gets seriously hurt.

Leao is most definitely on his way out of the club. Milan are going to decide which club he moves to. Disappointing end to his career, we failed him many times but it is time to move on. There are offers from Turkey and England.

Meanwhile.. We have made inquiries about Nwaneri from Arsenal. Kid needs game time and I doubt he will get that under Arteta despite deserving it. It’s a difficult one, I really want to see him get real opportunities at Arsenal. Maybe a loan move to Milan will be good and under Amorim, he may flourish, I have no doubts about the talent.

Finally, it looks like Tomori is on his way back to the EPL and I am ok with it. He needs to move on.

A very sad day for this great club. A legendary and iconic defender who defined the position.. He became the standard and path through which others traveled. The greatest to ever do it! My journey with this club is definitely incomplete without you!

RIP Piscinin!

How will FIFA handle this? I suspect FIFA will backdown and negotiate some concession similar to what Superleague project did with UEFA

As UEFA 50 nations dey reject the proposal, I am sure many African countries once they see $40m will take the offer

It was a stupid move on his part and e sure me say Infantino go end up for jail

PDPGuy:
Imagine the NFF rejecting 56 BILLION Naira? Lol that can never happen 🤣😂

This man go end up for jail after him tenure, e sure me!

BlueRayDick:
I want to believe our players will adapt. I have seen them adapt over the past few years....Few years ago we were very weak in aerial balls and now almost everyone fears us when the ball is in the air in the opponent's box.

By now they should be practicing quicker release of the ball and we should work on our counter attacks more. With Gyokeres having gained confidence towards the end of last season and we having speedsters on the wing, playing quick release of the ball shouldn't be an issue for us.

Gyokeres is a player I have said from last season needs this preseason and I am glad he is with the squad. He is going to enter the season in a better shape and grasp of Arteta's tactics/ expectations. I am confident he will do better, he is mentally tough as we saw last season.

I am just sad that Eze isn't participating in the preseason. He is the one that I said needed this preseason the MOST in comparison to others. He joined us after the season started last year and it was evident as he struggled to adapt. His conditioning was poor, so was his grasp of the tactics and chemistry of his team mates. He is such a special player and has the ability to transform our attack but him and Arteta needed this preseason together but they are not getting that.
