Near success Arsenal will try but fail eventually. That's the most painful aspect of it all.

The winners will be decided on the last days of the league. Arsenal have dealt with their biggest issue which was Zinchenko by getting Kiwior to play the left back position. They have also augmented the lack of potent centre forward by getting more attack midfielders to play together, thus using one stone to kill 2 birds(Dominate the midfielders and score goals). Arteta really made good use of the mid-season Dubai training trip to identify gaps and reorganise the team. Arsenal is certainly the most feared team in the league. Hervertz has brought alot of quality to the team. Someone said he's now the Diego Costa of Arsenal. Timber, Patey and Tomiyasu will soon be available to the team to add quality to what is already on ground. It won't be easy to win the league, considering the form of Man City and Liverpool but it's possible. I watched the disappointment on Hallands face after the match with Man City. Though they have a match in hand, even if the win, they will only climb to second position.

I am banking on Cape Verde to leave Eocwas next. Their body is in the community, but their soul is not.

Highly expected. Let them join their francophone brothers and let Nigeria strengthen ties with its anglophone brothers(Guinea, Ghana, Liberia, The Gambia, Sierra Leone etc)

Smart guy. He prefers an absentee president to a decisive one. Trump is day and do. The fear of Trump is the beginning of wisdom.

Samekaog:
America then president Franklin D. Rooservelt once said the greatest thing to fear is fear itself. They are taking a right step and if they know what they are doing in one decade there country will be great.

If they succeed, then good for them. It’s high time Nigeria focuses on itself and leave other nations to their problems.

NIGERIA NEED MILITARY COUP TO DISPLACE THIS CIVILIAN COUP OF WICKEDNESS AND STARVATION.


THE MILITARY GET MORE DONE WITHIN A SHORT SPACE OF TIME.

GO AND CHECK NIGER STATUS AS THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.


THAT URANIUM FRANCE WAS TAKING FOR FREE, THEY ARE NORMAL PAYING THE MARKET PRICE.


DRC IS NEXT, FRANCE MUST LEAVE THAT COUNTRY.

We dont need military coups. Southern African countries never had military juntas, yet they are doing well. What we need is to return back to pre-1967 parliamentary system of government or practice a mixed system of government as is done in the USA. Nigeria is a 3rd world country and very big in terms of population and landmass. This has made governing the country from the centre very hard and impossible. Issues like policing, wealth creation, job creation, criminal laws etc should be handled by the states. They should harness their resources and find investors. They should handle universities, health care and education. The federal government should only concern with national security and national economy. Imagine a state making its anti terrorism and criminal laws to suit prevailing challenges. Imagine a Rivers state handling of ts resources and only paying tax to FG. Zamfara will handle its gold and pay tax etc. That useless mentality of robbing Peter to pay Paul will end and our governors will sit tight and start exploiting their potentials. Youths won’t run to Abuja to look for jobs but rather hold their state governors accountable. Nigeria is too big and so backward to run a presidential system. The FG has too much responsibilities. At least you won’t have to cry that they are releasing terrorists back to society in your state when probably the law proffers death sentence by firing squad. This is the beauty of a State system. Nigerian situation is never hopeless and out of control, just that those in power have failed to do the right things which are not abstract. If Goodluck Jonathan has ensured the passage of CONFAB report, by now, Nigeria would have been over prosperous. Even the electricity we are crying about would be handled by states.

Normal trick by military juntas to deceive the people. Severing ties with their oppressors is good. However, they can’t hide the fact that the motivation for seizing power is to gain control of the nations wealth for personal aggrandizement. I pity those who feel these guys will do any better. Sooner or later, we would start hearing of repression, victimization, witch-hunts etc all in a bid to hold on to power forever. I only pity Nigeria which have played big brother to these nonentities in the past and intervened to ensure decent living for them through the ECOWAS bloc. Now that Nigeria is facing her problems and probably doesn’t have much charity to make, they feel they can disrespect the country. These are the same countries that for years failed to pay their dues to the ECOWAS. In fact the French West African countries have contributed immensely to the backwardness of ECOWAS in the past. They frustrated the establishment of single currency(eco) in west Africa and also frustrated inter regional and sub-regional trade within member states. The same countries that could not agree as members of G5 Sahel to fight terrorism on a common ground are talking of forming a bloc. Let them go! What have we ever benefited from them? It would be foolish for ECOWAS to persuade them. That useless Benin Republic have shown their true color by aligning with their francophone brothers. God willing we would rise from the ashes into a great nation that we supposed to be. Let us face our own problems and stop playing big brother to these nations. We should build stronger ties with the Anglophone West African countries. At least Guinea showed character by not joining them. This is an opportunity for us to breathe.

All these carriers of fake news. So if the government converts all dollars to Naira, then what happens if the currency doesn’t stabilize as expected? The best thing is to work on better policies to boost economy and not venture into uncertainties. Na the citizens cause the problem, wey na the citizens wan pay d price. How many common Nigerians were part of the devaluation of the Naira? I don’t think the government will convert people’s dollars into Naira. It’s even a wrong gamble at this time. It’s better they continue working on improving the economy, once this is achieved, they can then work on policies that discourage foreign currency hoarding. I don’t even know why persons can’t use their Naira master card abroad to withdraw foreign currency for use. Even some international transactions are not possible using Nigerian issued cards.

For Gods sake why can’t we allow these Eagles to do their thing in peace. Always putting them under pressure at critical times in competitions. The same Eagles that were abused and ridiculed are trying to do things right and now they are being put under unnecessary pressure. Is this the first time Nigeria is meeting Angola since Okwaraji (may his soul RIP) passed on?

I think the judiciary in Nigeria have not played their part in the security of the nation, while the political will is also weak. I say this because there is no definite punishment for kidnappers, non state actors, persons caught with illegal arms and collaborators of these acts. For instance during the military era if you are caught for robbery or illegal arms possession, the law was firing squad. In Saudi Arabia if you are caught with drugs, you will die. In These laws served as deterrents and the consequences sent shivers down the spines of citizens such that they shunned such vices. Right now in the country, we are wasting tax payers money keeping killers in prisons to serve terms and return back to their past more deadly. While the judiciary are cashing out by defending these guys in court. For Gods sake what is so hard for the 3 arms of government, particularly the judiciary to push for strong criminal justice against these vices. If we make firing squad a definitive punishment for criminality in Nigeria, I bet no lawyer will be able to defend a criminal in court and it will assist the security agencies in doing their work, knowing that those they catch will face capital punishment. The situation in Nigeria is not out of hand, just that we have not handled it the right way. Security agencies just need to do 30 percent while the bulk rests with the 3 arms of government. In Botswana with a population of 2 million, their biggest threat is poaching, so they set boundaries where citizens should not cross. Once you are caught in that area, the security agencies will kill you and take your corpse to your family because you are a potential poacher. These are my views and I will appreciate inputs on this matter.

mrvitalis:
Why Nigerian Army they fire gun without tactics like they don't basic formation training?

This is very poor... Zero coordinations

They just use number and heavier fire power to overcome their enemy... Is that the tactics

This is poor we can do better

Make dem come carry you make you teach them the tactics? What do you want them to do again? Is it not obvious that the person talking is trying to coordinate the tactical plan and ensure the other soldiers follow his lead and the plan? Forget all those things you see on tv. The real battle is not as coordinated as the American movies you watch. At the end of it all, it’s what works to bring success that you will adopt when the chips are down. If you know better, why not join up and teach what you know better.

ObiCertificate:
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Wise men stoop to conquer.

All this is nothing. The pictures with Ooni and Buhari were taken when he wasn’t president. The one with Obj was taken as President. You don’t expect him to stoop low when he has what he was aiming for as depicted in the first 2 pictures. Obj and Tinubu are great in their own right. Nevertheless, Obj set the precedence for sustainable democracy in Nigeria. Though controversial and painful, he showed all military politicians the exit door in order to pave the way for civilian politicians to succeed. Unfortunately, they have bastardized the democratic Process with corruption, nepotism and tribalism as never witnessed before.

God bless the Nigerian military. Only men with balls, guts and courage can serve in the military. Just see as bullet dey fly up and down. One hit and someone is gone forever. Sacrificing ones today for another’s tomorrow. God bless your efforts and crown it with success.

peter obi will never become president

I don't know what Peter Obi has done to you and your family that you are exhibiting hatred for him. Well, you must not like him but you can't stop him from aspiring to be president of Nigeria. If its God's will that he becomes president in future, then it will happen and there's nothing you can do about it. It's all this rubbish that have caused serious division and destruction of national cohesion in the country. That notion that a group of persons or an individual cannot rule Nigeria only shows how archaic we think. We need to learn how Rwanda rose from the shadows of inter ethnic genocide to foster national unity, cohesion and development.

If Biden should call any soldier especially a veteran useless under any condition, na straight resignation be dat oooo.
The person wasn't the driver of the bike and moreover he is disabled due to injury from front war. He was bundled like a common criminal. If na the sane country wey u dey talk about, the soldier go become overnight millionaire cos he will sue them for serious damages in the tune of 100 million dollars

Thank you my brother for this taughful post. Sometimes, we fail to understand that these soldiers come from amongst us and don’t fall from the sky. They are peoples husband, father, uncle, brother and sister, who have mortgaged their life for this country. The suffering the masses are suffering does not exempt them, the only difference is that we the civilians don’t have to risk their life. Now going to my contribution on this matter, the soldier was wrong breaking the law and if found guilty, should be meted punishment commensurate to his offense. However, the governor was wrong in his conduct, considering the man identified himself as a soldier. In fact, even if he was not a soldier, he doesn’t deserve such treatment. There’s been a lot of one sided judgement on this matter which aims at exonerating the governor. This is the kind of behavior that have led Nigeria backwards over the years. It’s either you see a politician trying to support another politician without recourse to the dangers of his action on the masses or just one thing or the other. Look at the issue between Wike and Fubara and you will feel pity for this country. An ex governor is trying to control a sitting governor and a lot of folks have thrown their weight on the treasonable behavior of the ex governor. The soldier was wrong and deserves punishment through the appropriate channels if proven guilty, the governor was also wrong in the manner he executed the arrest, period. Even soldiers who face firing squad are treated with respect before they are deleted. After all, the governor was spotted same day taking one way and it was not deemed a big deal. Though I know the junior ranks amongst the military and other armed agencies, tend to be overbearing in some instances, of which myself am a victim, but it still doesn’t take the fact that the governors action is also condemnable. Going forward, government need to impose stiff penalties for one way defaulters, make roads motorable and make fuel affordable. If they play their part well, both sides will be balanced.

Fujiyama:

Manhandled?

The traffic offender was wrong. He broke a traffic law and there are consequences for doing so. There is nothing to debate or argue about here. He was wrong but the sense of entitlement is so strong that he couldn't help blurting out what he does for a living - in the vain hope that he would not have to face any consequences for his actions.

Soldiering is a job. There's nothing special about it. We don't hear teachers, firemen, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, plumbers, mechanics, architects, nurses, engineers, cooks, tailors, lab scientists, microbiologists etc. asking for special treatment. These other people just get on with their jobs and they don't disturb our peace.

After over 200 of our compatriots were murdered in cold blood last week without any response from the military, one would expect these soldiers to lie low and soberly reflect on how they have let this country down, time after time, again and again. Instead, they keep making the headlines for petulant displays of an overinflated sense of entitlement, over and over.

This was not the oath they took.

Bros, it’s only in Nigeria that there is nothing special in soldiering, that’s why the soldiers are not giving any special result. If you are sincere in your comments, you would have also quoted the part where I wrote against the disgraceful manner the governor went about the arrest. In civilized climes, he would be the bigger looser. Though the soldier would be punished, but I bet you the governor would have to offer apologies for the manner in which he conducted the arrest, making derogatory comments and insulting the soldiers father. He may even be forced to resign. Just imagine this video trending on CNN or Aljazeera. In the USA, a policeman lost his job for malhandling a soldier who committed an offense. Try travel out and see things for yourself. Soldiering job is the biggest sacrifice anyone can make in life. In Nigeria, it’s even like committing suicide being a soldier, considering the challenges on ground. Let Nigerian soldiers be treated with respect. Not everyone has the courage to be a soldier. Afterall, many of those taking one way are doing so to minimize fuel due to the high cost and you know that. It’s only politicians that are not feeling the heat, even business men are not finding it funny. I am not against punishing the soldier oh, because I have seen how orderly things are done in the west and I wish they could be done in Nigeria. However, the dehumanizing manner the arrest was carried out pissed me off.

Dynamicboss:


Do you see soldiers breaking the law in the civilised country you mentioned? When I say Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria, here is one reason

Your comment is painful and disgraceful

. Is this how civilized government officials treat their soldiers in civilized countries? He has the right to order arrest of the soldier for breaking the law, but the man is being manhandled by the governors security detail, while the governor himself is making abusive comments including the soldiers father. People that have never been to the civilized countries will be spilling nonsense. If it’s in civilized country both the soldier and the governor will be punished. Infact, the governor will be made to resign in disgrace for his disgraceful conduct.

Arteta is to blame for all the woes. He is a good coach but seems to be a tyrant. Very soon, the players would rebel against him because he seems to be coaching based on sentiments. How can one explain his benching of Ramsdale and refusal to use Smith Rowe. The team also lacks squad depth and no reliable centre forward. Right now he does not have a reliever for that underperforming Zinchenko and even the centre backs do not have competent relievers. Infact, the whole first team do not have relievers, which is not good for any team at this period of a season. He kept using out of form Martinelli and confined Trossard to the bench such that he has lost confidence and form. He is a good coach and bad manager.

kooyanbliss:
i was seeing stars but i still endured again and continue struggling

This part of your story made me laugh hard. Omo na woman slap make u c stars? But on a serious note, it seems the lady loves you but just feel insecure to the extent of abusing you. You also loose guard and beat her up. At this point, you need to discuss the relationship with her and make a decision to continue or leave. It appears you don't communicate with her on pressing issues and instead try to chicken out during misunderstandings instead of finding how to resolve it. This have caused her to find other means of getting your attention, including slapping you. However, if she continues peddling your name as a woman beater, just cut off before she destroys anything left of your reputation. Remember, the society we leave in always believe the womans version of the story. Channel your time and energy towards building yourself and creating wealth and you would get the respect you deserve. Stop lousying around and waiting for a woman you are not married to take care of your financial needs.

S

Why didnt she simply leave him and marry her ex since he's not good for her. What was she still looking for from a man thats not good for her. Marriage no be by force.

Jennyclay:
If the man can’t forgive her then let him go jare!! . He’s not a saint too!!

I’m sure the man is not really good in bed reason she visited her ex.

So many men are not just good in bed, especially Nigerian men!! and they won’t even care if a lady is satisfied or not!! Very selfish men!!!

Personally, if I’m not getting enough money, sex and Love from my man then I would definitely look outside.

I can't be emotional now and start hauling abuses and insults on the man, even though I know that majority of men are useless. I will have my opinion on this when I hear the man side of the story. There must be a reason for every action. Don't be fóolish to take side ,not untill you hear from the both side and then

How does strength of military or police put food on my table? So anyone who gives a contrary view on this topic is bokoharam. Well that's your business. I wanted to use derogatory words on you in response to you calling me bokoharam, but it would amount to descending to your level. Issues must be looked at from all perspectives, without cyber bullying. While I don't like fracas between security agencies, I feel the situation in Adamawa State would have been avoided if the police had immediately reached out to the military and detained the policeman who killed a soldier. The slain soldier and policeman are both Nigerian's. No Nigerian is more Nigerian than the other.

IamANigerianMan:

See one of the Boko Haram.. if this useless military is so powerful as you think, they met with police at the check point , police dealt with them , they went and carry entire battalion to fight back... Nigerian soldier are the weakest in Africa.. if they are so powerful why go back for re-efforcement against POLICE... The funnest of it . The mopol that dealt with them. They did not branch there , they went directly to ATURA, those one carrying gun without bullet .

Nigerian Military behaves Like Boko Haram--Inspector-General of Police Says The Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun has described.


The Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun has described the military invasion of the Adamawa State Police Command headquarters as a “Boko Haram terror attack.”



Egbetokun, who visited the command on his first official visit on Monday, condoled with personnel over the unfortunate invasion of the command on November 21, 2023.




The police boss said the unfortunate attack on the Adamawa police command by recalcitrant soldiers caused the death of Inspector Daniel Jacob.


According to him, their action was no less an act which could only have been carried out by "terrorists".



He further labelled the attack as barbaric, saying the incident would be the last of such ugly incident because it had been tabled before the highest authorities in the land.



He said, "It was an unfortunate incident which should never have happened. I believe this is going to be the last time it will happen in Nigeria.



"These people came like bandits and carried out the attack on our facility in a manner similar to invasion by Boko Haram."

Earlier, in his remarks, the IGP regretted the murder of its officer during the invasion by recalcitrant military personnel on its facility.



He said, "Inspector Jacob Daniel was an officer, on duty at the quarter guard on Wednesday last week when he was murdered, following an invasion on this headquarters by some recalcitrant soldiers, in an attack that was unwarranted, carried out in a manner reflecting the activities of Boko Haram by their invasion on this facility."


"I am in your midst this afternoon to share the grief that you have. I learnt that he was an officer that was committed to his duty. He always demonstrated the highest level of dedication to duty. But unfortunately, we lost him to the attack that was unwarranted and barbaric."




According to the IGP, he had taken up the incident at the highest levels of government to ensure justice for the slain cop, who died during that attack.

After observing a minute silence for the slain cop, Egbetokun admonished officers of the force not to allow the incident to dampen their morale. He insisted that justice would be served and explained that the two security agencies were not at war with each other, adding that they were sister agencies working towards the same goal of securing the nation.


The Commissioner of Police, Adamawa State command, Afolabi Babatola, drew wide applause from officers when he tabled the request for armoured personnel carriers, gun truck and Hilux vehicles to maintain the "tempo" of the force.



The CP had said, "in fact the command in particular and the state in general would have been in a state of total calmness if not for the unfortunate incident that happened on Tuesday 21st November, 2023.




"I will like to use this opportunity to request for Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), gun trucks and Hilux Vehicles to maintain the tempo."

Yorubas should grow up and compete. Stop relying on "na we get Lagos"

The funny thing is that many Yoruba's who are my friends voted against APC in Lagos. Some unenlightened Yoruba' s think the clamor for change of party structure is a tribal thing (Yoruba vs Igbo), not knowing that its borne out of frustration on the performance of the APC in the state and the wanton looting of its resources, while using only a fraction for development. I believe that if Lagos had a more prudent and sincere government, it would be more developed than it is currently. Again, if a Yoruba woman can be overwhelmingly voted for into the Senate in the FCT, i dont see why Igbo or even Hausa cannot be voted as Governor of Lagos, provided the people believe in him. Remember, Lagos still holds the sentiments of being a former FCT.

"Tinubu was the only human being who gave me money, two million naira, when my wife was kidnapped"

It is quite interesting to note that not even then current Anambra state Governor ,Mr Obi and other past Governors like Chief Ezeife, helped the Elderstatesman in his time of trouble

Only Asiwaju can stand by you in thick and thin. Reminds me of how Asiwaju acknowledged that his late mother taught him this quality.

My mother taught me if you are sad, I will share your sorrow with you, if you are happy I will rejoice with you. If you are poor I will share the little I have with you”.

Asiwaju Tinubu, Jan 29,2023.

Asiwaju Tinubu is a kind and authentic Leader.

Those tiny minority of misguided hateful youths and unpatriotic Ipob terrorists and their sympathizers banking on politics of lies, ignorance, envy, hate and bihotry ti lule se. Mr Obi will abandon you like he did to Chief Ezeife. With his acclaimed billions, he heard that the wife of Chief Ezeife was kidnapped but he did nothing.
But not Asiwaju. Asiwaju will never abandon people. He is a true Omoluabi.

Asiwaju lokan!

Good analysis for a bad product.

[quote author=Racoon post=119981066]Imagine these terrorists coming so close to a striking distance of the FCT @ Masaka. This is just a failure of intelligence. Yet the DSS can go hijack Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya?

Is it not the same intelligence that led to their arrest?
