Where una dey watch chelsea game

Sporty tv on YouTube.

Trevor012:
From Morata to Werner to lukaku to Jackson and now Pedro. No club worse pass Chelsea when it comes to buying strikers. Just relax I go read your lamentations this season

Relassssss

Trevor012:
Na Brighton nor get steady supplies lmao.

Shekpites will never learn.

That was how they praised lukaku in his first 4 games untill he became useless.

They also praised Morata at first when he was nodding in goals until their eyes open.

Also praised Jackson during pre season untill he started behaving like airmark.

Una eyes go clear when season start

I think you should be more worried that your 80M striker is doing 13 goals in burn this league down. Holjund 2.0

We go know which people eye go clear when season start abi no be man yoooo again

Trevor012:
With his 5 non pk goals per season even Amad will outscore him.This one think is by scoring against teams in pre season and friendly matches 😂😂

You forget he's sorrounded by steady supplies this season.

No problems, let the season begin my chief

Make I like your comment, so e no go hard to find

Trevor012:
Na Chelsea you suppose face with Delap and Joao Pedro as strikers 😂😂

This one actually thinks his tekno will outscore Pedro.

Because he has mgbeke and kunya around him?

Keep dropping receipts, e no go too far

drisham:
The way palmer was. Moving in the First half💫like a silky senor

I was going to see this. There was this extra finesse with his movements. That cwc final performance did a thing.

Ballzproblem2:
Sure say Pedro no go dey start of delap ?

Funny you ever thought he was going to deputize for delap

Pedrooooo

Proper shot

Did Leverkusen forget their legs in Germany or something coz they've barely held the ball and to think this is their 5th pre season game

TallNigerian:
Hello Salarys, good morning! My sincere apologies for my delayed response. My weekend was quite turbulent.

I sat for the IELTS GT with MOD IDP and I opted for the Computer Based Test. It was my first attempt.

I prepared for two weeks and I was very strategic in my learning process.

SPEAKING: I did not start practice with speaking until 2 days to the test date. I have always been confident about my speaking ability. So I used a couple of youtube videos (there's one with a Nigerian speaker) to understand how the questions are structured. The speaking test will always begin with a short introduction of yourself and the interviewer will build up more questions from your response. For example, if you mention you are a student, he/she might ask you what you love most about your school etc and the conversation builds up from there. For the second speaking part, you will be shown a question and given 1 minute to gather your thoughts on that topic before you start speaking. During mine, I was asked to mention a place of national importance in my country. I chose to talk about the National Stadium Abuja. I consider it a place of national importance because of the passion Nigerians have for football.
These strategies guided my speaking: 1. Don't repeat sentences. 2. Reduce or eliminate completely the use of "em, em, em" when speaking. 3. Personally, when I was asked a question and I couldn't quickly build my points, I pretended like I didn't hear properly, so I told the examiner "come again please", "pardon", "sorry, I didn't get that" as a delay tactic. There is absolutely no penalty for that, but stuttering will definitely reduce your overall points. I hope this helps for speaking.
Most importantly, you can choose to lie or tell the truth, IELTS doesn't care. They care only about your fluency and/or ability to understand and respond to conversations. For example, if you claim you work in Shell or that you sleep for only 2 hours a day or that the National Stadium Abuja has 1 million seater-capacity, nobody cares. Just be fluent while at it.

2. Writing: Task 2 carries the most marks. By all means, write task 2 very well. If I recall correctly, during mine, my task 2 essay was about "people think government should be solely responsible for providing shelters for the homeless in the society". I argued against and used the first 2 minutes to build my points before writing. I went on about how companies can provide shelters especially within their host communities as part of their CSR, churches as part of philanthropy etc.
Remember, you do not start your essay with arguments. You start with "Although many believe that the government should be solely responsible........I do not agree with this notion. I align with the belief that government should provide shelter for the homeless in the society, however this responsibility should not be left for the government alone to handle." Then you start your argument for or against as you have decided earlier.
While writing the second task, also be mindful of time. Do not abandon the first task either.
Again, ensure to go through your essays for punctuation marks, spelling errors, grammatical structures etc before the time logs you out automatically.
The advantage of CBT in this regard is that you have an auto word counter. So you'll know if you have reached the minimum required words, unlike the paper based test in which you may have to manually count your words, thereby wasting even more time.
Tip: These days, you can use ChatGPT to practice task 2 questions to guide you on how to build up points for an essay. I didn't have that privilege then but I will surely use it for study if I choose to write again.

READING: I didn't use a particular study guide. I used as many as possible. I was just sampling one site to another. It didn't take long to discover my areas of weakness in the reading task. For me, the "true-false-not given" part were the most challenging. So I abandoned my areas of strength and focused on my weaknesses until I was convinced I had improved.
On the test day, once I started and wasn't sure of an answer, I quickly moved to the next question. Immediately I was done with the questions I was very sure of, I went back to carefully analyse each of the ones I wasn't sure of. I still finished less than 10 minutes before the timer got to zero.

LISTENING: This was like the easiest for me. During practice, my weakness was the map description part. Luckily for me, there were no map descriptions during the main test. I used a white sheet of paper and pencil (which will be provided to you) to quickly jot down points as I was listening. You have to be good with summarization and how to write fast and in ways that you can understand what you wrote especially if you are abbreviating. The listening task requires more of mental concentration because if your mind drifts while listening, you will miss so much and there will be never be a repetition. If your headphone is uncomfortable, please complain before you start. Anything that you know can distract you, please do away with them before you commence your listening test.

I don't know if I did justice to your question, but this is what I can remember from writing in 2023. I will be writing again soon as my previous result expired.

Yes, you did. Thank you so much brother.

Comments?

I personally have my reservations against Casillas.

9,8.5, 8.5,8 -RLWS

Good day chief.... How did you prepare to get such scores? Self study? Tutorials? Materials?

Thanks in anticipation.

Silentgroper:
Ogaaaa


There nothing world class about the Palmer's goal .. young Armin pecsi would keep that goal out not to talk of Allison ..

Fatigue had dealt with Donnaruma that's why he was generally woeful in that match .

.small thing una don dey call world class .


Abeg make una dey suffre na ...

Wait, Did PSG not play the "Almighty Madrid" days before this match? What happened?

Now it's Chelsea and suddenly everybody became fatigued, even goalkeeper that sits in goal.

I'm sure Enrique's brain was also fatigued on the touchline to bring up a superior tactic in-game.

Fatigue has to be the most used word since 13th of July 2025.

Salarys:
After 4 years of searching, Grace found me.
I’ve been admitted,DELSU MBBS.

Words can’t express how I feel.

Donpre and pes13, you guys inspired me a lot.
You may not know it but you both were my biggest motivation. Thank you.

And after 6.5 years, I officially got inducted into the profession 2 days ago.

Yes. God can be trusted and your dreams are valid.

Donpre:
I doubt anybody here still remembers me but... I'm officially done. I remember starting here, asking questions and reading advices. Thank you all for all the help

Congratulations bro.... It's only up from here.

If that was Jackson, we all know .....

Cool, calm and collected as would a proper 9

lovelybobo:
He shared his last practice exam with me before his main exam the following day.

Congratulations to your son sir. His jamb score was inevitable. If it were in the days when Jamb released the name of the highest scorer, trust me he's right up there as a top contender judging by this year's perfomance. Brilliant brilliant chap.

Please do well to cover his name on the screenshot you shared, except you're not bothered with privacy.

I wish him the best even as he forges ahead. Cheers.

Knelsoon:
Palmer too get goal sense

When you look at the way Palmer kicks the ball when he goes for goal, you understand why many persons are calling for Jackson's head. You see the intent, force and technique.

Jackson lacks that firepower on the feet strikers carry, sometimes I wonder how he's a 9 with such unsure feet.

mentorandfriend:
5) MEDICAL STUDENTS ARE NOT FLIRTS. Where do we even find the time? If you have a medical student as your boyfriend or girlfriend, you can be rest assured that he or she is not cheating on you, because we have no time for that. We do not have time to gist on Nneoma's bossom, nor Amaka's straight legs. When you have been harrassed by the consultants and resident doctors for not answering basic questions on Hypertension or Diabetis during rounds, you'll discover that the firmness of Nneoma's bosom makes no sense to your career.

You have to read your books, because reading your books is your surest bet of leaving that jungle of academic intimidation and harrasment called medical school.

I remember going through this thread before I came into med school. Now I'm in my final year and I can categorically agree with all things you said. Everything asides the above please

Except the med students in your school are of a different breed because Medical students? Okay

How does a screen become faulty from nowhere nau

Please my s20 suddenly started displaying white and green completely out of the blue after I slept and woke up. No history of any recent falls, nothing.

Has anyone experienced this in the past? How did you fix? Please it’s exactly a year I got this phone and I’m on the verge of loosing it at the moment.

Zurielgeraldine:
Same issue I'm currently facing. Were you able to sort this out? And what means?

Please kindly refer me to a legit company/ method I can use to have a phone sent to Nigeria 🙏

Sorry for the late reply. I used the logistics recommended above and they delivered although pricier.

Good luck.

Cc fbtowner

Good morning.... Please what would it cost to change the back of an S20. Anyone?

Meister:
Lol, you bought a repackaged foreign used phone, no way in hell you'll find a brand new S20 in 2023, take that from an actual phone seller.

I have Samsung S20 12/128 single SIM Snapdragon variant at 170k though for those interested

Ok.

nafisu:
This is a very good deal for that price point, if your plug is on NL kinda drop their moniker.

He's not on NL chief.

There's no need plugging him. Others won't get such deal.

Emphasis on OG.

Mr2kul:
You got brand new S20 for less than 190k?
Are you kidding me?

180k to be specific. 12/128gb. Dual sim. Snapdragon. Brand new, open box. All accessories intact.(25watts charger and the AKG earbuds sealed).

Peeled the stickers off the phone myself.

Seller is an OG though.

Tyg3rFvry:
But the phone won't get further android and Samsung updates. Is that something to worry about?

Well, Your fears are valid considering it's a 3 year old device.

It was touted to stop at android 12 initially, but we're currently on Android 13.

Fingers crossed for the final version of Android 14 rolling out publicly to AOSPS and OEMS later this year.

I was in this same dilemma last week .

I went for the s20 and never looked back. Although I got mine (brand new, open box 12/128gb) at a price a bit lesser than yours.

Please go for the s20, you won't regret it.

I think the only place the Redmi note 12 outs the s20 is the battery life. That doesn't mean that of the s20 is poor though. A full charge in the morning takes me the whole day. Ever since I got my phone, I average 6hrs+ of normal daily use. My friend who uses the Redmi note 12 definitely gets a tad more.

But that's just about it. In everyother area it lags behind the s20. Performance, sound output, camera, and oh the display! This display is a joy to behold.

Plus, it's 6.2inches and still very portable on hands. Not really a fan of chunky devices, hence was also a deal breaker for me.

Go for the S20 bro, so long as you're getting it brand new. My 2 cents.

Joyceaile:
morning ,it’s not on the high side,probably to your pocket,but this price is the best u can find anywhere

Let’s talk better on WhatsApp. I sent you a text.

With complete accessories?

Do you waybill?

Accept to transact with a known escrow here on nairaland?

Your price is on a high side ma for the 8/128.

160k and we deal tomorrow.

This same kinda deal available for the 8/128 version?
