All over social media cos of two draws by Cape Verde we no hear word since.

AFCON is the toughest qualifiers. AFCON is the toughest tournament yenyenyen.

It's been so nauseating to see the sheer amount of premature ejaculation after Matchday 1.

Mind you other World Cups have had actual serious upsets so I don't see any special accomplishments from any AFCON team in this tourney so far
We too dey overrate our true worth, it never fails.

Our content creators would have been on overdrive if to say our Queens make am to the WC lasan!

I dont know why Ndiaye no dey start
This is a loaded Senegalese side, this performance makes absolutely no sense. I mean, they are at the verge of being eliminated without a point, if they lose their final game.

When you hear where fans of African countries dey hype their team you go think say dem be prime Brazil…

It is 2026, yet Senegal can’t compete against Norway! I mean…

Ivory Coast/ Algeria/ Tunisia/ South Africa.. power houses and regular qualifiers of the WC dey the same WhatsApp group..

Don’t even get me started on our bunch of Drama Queens who choked in Morocco but somehow are convinced they will play scintillating football if they made it.

Our hope dey Morocco hand because the likes of Cape Verde are punching above their weight.

A claim?

No vex Chief. I don't mean any disrespect with this example

If I call you "Stupid", would your next reaction be to prove me right, or insult me back?

Because you're making it look like there was basis for this "accusation".
None taken honestly.

Like I said before, these 2 (Wahab & GRV) have a history, it did not start today; you may want to look it up. If we have a history and my actions in the past has raised some questions/ doubts about my ability to make sound decisions, then fine.

I guess the question now boils down to "Is Bigotry a crime"? and the answer is "No", except in the instance where such leads to violence or hate crimes against a people. I mean there is a reason no one wants to be associated with it.

If I am a public office holder or hold a senior level leadership/ management position, I am not insulting you back; it comes with the territory! I am most definitely not engaging anyone on SM, i no kukuma get SM.

You should understand that there is hierarchy of responsibility. Why do you think Wahab stopped replying GRV? Why didn't he continue? Because it must have hit him or someone reminded him to stop with the back and forth.

I think comparing theft with this are different.

You have no where dragged GRV for calling someone a Bigot unprovoked, but you have dragged Wahab for responding to GRV in that same energy?

Don't you think GRV is also a bigot, for calling someone a Bigot over nothing?
How is it different? It is an allegation that is supposed to be false, right? It could be any allegation? Mr. A is accused of being a thief, the accused goes ahead to steal, so what does it make the allegation? Still false I guess?

In law, we say "Innocent, until proven guilty". GRV made a claim, Wahab proved him right. Again, except you can in good conscience tell me Wahab moving from Dear Gbadebo to Dear Chinedu was innocuous and with no ill intent.

You are choosing to read what you want from my posts, otherwise, you'd have read several places, from my initial post where I questioned GRV's intent from his original response to Sanwolu to his first response.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Roland17(m): 7:50pm On Jun 22

The first reply, He addressed him as Dear Gbadebo GRV, His second reply he addressed him as Dear Chinedu GRV

Both are his names and official identity

What is bigotry in calling you your official govt name? If Your name is Roland Oluwaseyi and I say dear Oluwaseyi, How is that bigotry

Can you kindly explain how his official name is Bigotry? Will calling the President by Dear Ahmed(his official middle name) by bigotry
If GRV doesnt want to go by his Chinedu name, he can say that and everyone will take note
In your knowledge, tell me why he switched to Dear Chinedu from Dear Gbadebo?

Why was it necessary to switch during the same conversation on the same day?

Why? Because it is name abi?

Why are you not angry with GRV for calling him a bigot in the first place?

There are two facts to this matter;
1) Lagos is dirty and Wahab is responsible for cleaning it. That was the discussion.

But you're not triggered that in that context, GRV called him a bigot. What exactly has Bigotry got to do with that explanation he gave? Did he blame Igbos or anybody in that explanation?
Nothing, his original response had nothing to do with it but can you at least admit going from Dear GRV to Dear Chinedu was intentional and proved GRV right?

Do you want to read through the comments after the Chinedu comment by Wahab? Are you telling me Wahab did not know what he was trying to do when he went from GRV to Chinedu? Or are you amongst those that will tell me it’s his name?

Someone accused you of bigotry and what did you end up doing? Did Wahab not prove the bigotry? Anyone can make accusations and while that was reckless, Wahab proved it wasn’t far fetched because GRV was proven right.

Like I have maintained, the conversation should have ended after the original response. Someone accuses Izzou of being a thief and what does Izzou do? Goes ahead to steal.. So was the accusation of theft right or wrong?

The APC tactic on divertiti attention is to make everything tribal. Igbo vs Yoruba....then attention will shift, and people will start fighting thenselves.

The yoruba man whose front building is litered with dirts that they are paying Lawma to pack, will forget about his complaint and join in the fight. This is how the culprit will be shielded from criticism.

The chinedu he brought in there was to make it Igbo vs yoruba. Its always their pattern.

And Roland17 being surprised at wahabs toutish response is making me laugh. Like you dont know how APC appointees act. You dont expect civiltà from people that groom agberos to use them against normal citizens.
What is irritating to me is the pretense about it, especially on this thread! I mean who are we deceiving here?

Someone accused you of bigotry and you proved him right by jumping from Dear GRV to Dear Chinedu, knowing what calling him Chinedu is supposed to do? And someone is asking me if his name is not Chinedu?

Are we kids here? Fact is Wahab proved GRV right with the bigotry and gaslighting because that is exactly what he did when he called him Chinedu.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Roland17(m): 6:07pm On Jun 22
raumdeuter:
How did Wahab prove him right? GRV asked a question, Wahab responded with his experience, GRV called him a Bigot, Wahab called him out and showed GRV screnshot of him practicing bigotry

So the summary is that GRV who attacked Wahab is free
Its Wahab that called him his Govt given name and attached screenshot of GRV practicing bigotry that is guilty here

Egbon mi, E jo, E ma fi eyin pin eran fun wa (Pls No use teeth share meat for us)

Genuine question, Do you know Chinedu is GRVs name as in his given name that he carries on official documents?
Yes, his name is "Chinedu" but are we also going to pretend the use of "Chinedu" is discretionary and at convenience when an Agenda is obviously being pushed? Wahab addressed GRV by his official title to start the 'give and take" but when he was triggered by the accusation of bigotry, he remembered to use Chinedu. So, didn't he prove him right? We know why. You can pretend all you want but I know and many know, the convenience of using Chinedu was intentional and proved GRV right. You guys forget this isn't Wahab's and GRV first tango. They have been going at each other for a while now.

There are expectations and responsibilities that comes with being a public officials or holding a sensitive position and that is the reality. Just because Wike runs around the country with his uncouth mouth doesn't mean that is the norm. I work in corporate America and while I am not on SM, there are expectations and responsibilities that come with my position. There I times, I curse and swear in my head but I also know I can't say or write what I have in my head because it may cost me a lot; it comes with the territory!

Get Lagos clean and move on!

So you see no issues with the man who began by calling the other a "Bigot" and a "Gaslighter"?

I'm just asking oh.

Your issue with Wahab is that he lost his composure with his second response, but you are not looking at how GRV insulted him.

I am not defending Wahab and his explanations, but GRV obviously wanted to find trouble there. What has Bigotry and Gaslighting got to do with that response?
Once again, if you go through all my post you will see that I did not think GRV’s intentions were sincere.

I believe it was sometime last year or early this year, we were engaged in a conversation about refuse collection in Lagos and you told me that sometimes refuse trucks break down in residential areas and are left there for days/ weeks with refuse inside them. So this issue has been a recurring issue, consequently, who said what is totally irrelevant right now.

So GRV accused Wahab of being a bigot and Wahab proved him right. I mean how else do you explain how Wahab went from Dear Gbadebo @GRVlagos" to "Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos". Or are you amongst those that will say Chinedu is his name? We know when it is convenient, I mean, we can’t feign ignorance here. We know these things.

Wahab is the one with more responsibility, he should act it. Based on pictures from Blueraydick this morning, nothing has been done! So what essentially are we discussing here?

raumdeuter:
When GRV read Wahab response and the best he could come up with his namecalling him a bigot that shows that GRV is empty and just trying to pick a fight. What Tokunbo showed him was his own recorded history of bigotry.

When you accuse someone of a thing ensure you don't have documented history of the same
Wahab is the one in government, not GRV. Being a government official/ spokesperson comes with a lot of responsibility. If you know he is trying to pick a fight, why indulge him? I don't get it. Like I said, Wahab and the Lagos State Government don't have a leg to stand on this one. This is an unnecessary distraction that doesn't solve the issue Lagosians are grappling with.

I don't think this is Wahab and GRV's first tango. They have a history and something about GRV triggers Wahab. He started well but lost his composure. I mean, how did we go from "Dear Gbadebo @GRVlagos" to "Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos"? Isn't it obvious GRV got to him? They just need to focus on the issue and start addressing it.

All of this is good for character development.
Make Una allow us breath eh! No be everybody dey chest defeat with humility and grace. Some dey use am fuel. He is in his 3rd year and took out the defending champions who were favored to win it all!

We have complained the players have become too friendly and now we have someone who doesn’t care about his opponents and we are wailing..

Decided to follow up the argument on X and he's already referred to GRV as Chinedu as I predicted attaching his opinions on Biafra.. Simple conversation on cleanliness of Lagos, Chinedu dn enter..
Exactly my point. Wahab should have just moved on from after the first round of Shalaye but he decided to engage in give and take.

Wahab lost his composure after a member of the opposition asked him to resign! Like what did you expect? A member of the opposition to sweet talk you on an obvious failure that has bedeviled your administration?

To the above, GRV replied with

Mr. Wahab,

Impact is felt, not explained in 1,578 words.

Your plastic policy has failed.

Your environmental policy, if one truly exists, has been ineffective.

Your waste management policy has been an unmitigated disaster.

The only area where you have consistently delivered is the demolition of the hard earned properties and livelihoods of ordinary citizens.

Not to mention your Bigotry and Gaslighting.

You have lost the moral authority to remain in office.

You should resign.


Today.
A smarter public administrator will not respond to this.. A smarter administrator has done his job with the original response. He should know when stuff is going to degenerate into public shaming/ name calling..

Move on, you are the one that needs to show working, not GRV!

Once again Dayo, if you read my responses, you’d see I acknowledged his first response was perfect, despite being littered with explanations and excuses. I have no issues with his original response.

His subsequent responses were unnecessary, especially, if nothing has changed on ground. Worsestill, it is exchanged with someone who is a member of the opposition.

The Lagos State government has no leg to stand on here. We all know GRV’s intentions may not be pure but they are facts! Facts that Lagosians are living with. Facts that have been recurring through this administration.

Is that not what he did?
He did that With the give and take with GRV?

Like I said earlier, his first response while justifying GRV’s position was sufficient enough and it should have ended there with him.

There is no evidence of work being done. They are still talking! Lagosians still have refuse staring at them! Workings is when your trucks are out and Lagosians start seeing a decrease in this eyesore..

Do I think GRV’s intentions were sincere? No, but, that is the job of the opposition in governance. This isn’t the first time Wahab is getting entangled with GRV. Wahab should be smarter, know when and how much to engage..

Part of community engagement is explaining to them why what was working is no longer working. GRV obviously wanted details

Do you think it would have sufficed to simply say "Sorry we are working on it"? If there is a power outage you surely want to know what is causing it, Is it a storm, is it an equipment failure, what is causing it

I surely will want to know the details beyond the bland "Sorry we will fix it soon"

Public workers are answerable to the public and any question you ask them its always good to explain why things are working or not working
This particular refuse issue has been a recurring theme and a black spot for Sanwolu. This isn’t a case of something went wrong but something has been wrong for a very long time!

Remember the corper that talked about Lagos smelling and how it was politicized? Infact tribalism follow enter because she spoke up. So no, this isn’t a rare occurrence but the norm. It had not been working before now

The problem is Wahab things he is answering GRV, not realizing he is answering millions of Lagosians who have suffered through this over the last 7 years! Sanwolu is t seeking reelection so I am not sure why he felt compelled to politicize this issue.

Wahab should have addressed the issue in general, take ownership and start showing workings. A smart politician or public official should have seen the back and forth with GRV would backfire! All these back of forth isn’t necessary.

Lees talk, more action!
