This has got to be one of the most cruel clap backs since the restart. ![]() Uti had made a tweet in reaction to claims that Erica jazzed a housemate (Laycon). Apparently, he chose not to be subtle about it and got burnt by an epic clap back from a Laycon fan who claimed DStv chose Ebuka because he is more valuable. Uti had tweeted: So wait ooooo let's say Erica has Jazz for man...And then got this: Ask yourself why Multichoice will prefer using Ebuka that was evicted midway in his time to you a whole BBA winner!https://twitter.com/Frisky_NG/status/1296840837284999169 Although Uti has long deleted his tweet, the fan is still getting praised for the epic response.

zainkay:Life hacks: 1. Leave the stage when the ovation is high and loudest. 2. Don't stay in your comfort zone when you start smashing records. 3. ALWAYS confront your failures head-on as it is the best way to learn. Yours truly did none of these. He left the Argentinian team twice after some huge losses, has done the same for Barcelona, failed to leave when he was at the center stage, and he failed to leave his comfort zone, believing life starts and end there. Messi is incredible but please add some special, special respekk on the "Ronaldo" name. All round, Ronaldo trumps Messi and even in their dying phase, Ronaldo is 100x lethal and fierce than Messi. Ronaldo, even now, embodies leadership, passion, lust for winning and fame, results and dependability, attributes that any great should have. But guess who gave up in the first of the 2-8 disaster? ![]() |
lukabewell:At what age? LOL! In his prime, he couldn't lead a star-studded Argentinian team to a single national silverware win but you feel he is capable of doing wonders now, even in other clubs where there are no Xavi and Iniesta? Football is more physical outside of Spain and I don't see Messi surviving except with a club like Manchester City where everyone will do the job for him. |

mayim:Well, thanks. My ears are fairly tuned and my music sense is a bit refined (apologies for the hype ). Perhaps one reason why Africa Giant did better than this current album is the heavy sampling of the afro-beat. And although he did the same in this very same album, I feel the features are too much, some songs shouldn't have made the album.He's good, I give him that but the album pales on comparison to the African Giant album. |
I started opening up to certain songs until recently. Burna Boy got the art work and possibly the name right - as a sequel to the "African Giant" album but the truth is, the album failed to trump the previous. African Giant carries more weight than TAT. I love the fact that he is slowly becoming a political voice and Ama Ata Aido's sampling in "Monsters You Made" is simply divine. I listened to the song time and time again with a level of ANGST. As an African, you won't listen to that song and feel the same except if the meaning flies above one's head. You see "Bank on It", that song for me is the "Twice as Tall" album! I have played that song an unhealthy amount of times. I catch the ghetto/cultism/gangster references in the song but I can't deny the fact that the song is a beauty. "Bank on It" is my best song in the album. |
NevetsIbot:Dark stretch marks are so because they are new. With time, they'll fade off and turn either silver or light. She doesn't need to take anything for it. |
Barcelona's problems may have just heightened, not with Koeman but with Messi and and Victor Font who has already hinted that Koeman won't be his coach even if he leads the club to a treble. Currently, the Barcelona project is without a future; whatever Koeman does now will be undone should Victor Font win the election as Barca's new president in the forthcoming election. Undoing the changes of a manager within a year and adjusting, possibly mid-season means the team will plunge. And considering the age problem with the team, I honestly don't see a way around it for Barca. Koeman will be fired within the year to bring in Xavi and then the pack of cards will come falling like a domino.

garfield1:Because the smaller party here is in acting the interest of another party. An election restart would mean the APC will win if the previous is cancelled. |
Mysticwebb:The whole thing is a game. I am sure the APC sponsored the party to the tribunal and upturned Diri's candidacy. The party knows it doesn't stand a chance. The goal is to push for a restart and then force everyone to the starting race line. Most smaller parties are sponsored by the big parties to either split votes, serve as a cog in a candidate's wheel and force an election to be cancelled. Where the bigger party step in is via the judiciary. |
Omoluabi16:What Messi leverages on right now is his past works. The motivation is not as it used to. Some even claim he has declined since Ronaldo left Spain because there is no player to compare him to in the league. Ronaldo even admitted this the moment he moved to Italy, that Messi was a motivation source for him and that he believes Messi will think same way. I agree with you on Messi perhaps not interested in bigger wages but Barcelona board doesn't think that way. His wage reviews are like boosts when he is either unhappy on speculations hover around him. Messi moving to a team with good midfield like City or PSG will be good for him and his football style but the shine will be taken off him, which is something strange to him. He is not the type to set up and disappear but one who sets up for others and then get involved. I hate to say this but England's football will swallow Messi whole, particularly now that he has aged. He has a better option in France because the most energetic players in the Ligue 1 are in PSG. It is not just about the array of talents in the team but the fluidity and seamless integration. Argentina had so many but Dybala sat out when he should have paired up with Messi because they couldn't gel. Recall some players have been shown the door at Barca for this reason over time. Although Ronaldo is guilty of this too, especially with Higuain but that of Messi seems to be more noticeable and stronger. Stabbing other players for an aging Messi is unwise. |
Barcelona will increase his wages in the coming days. Messi should be looking forward to retirement right now and not playing. His legacies are currently being marred by horrible team performances. He is a bad investment to any team at his age. |

The humiliation of Barcelona at the hands of Bayern prior to the match last night was imminent as there had been signs all through the just-ended La Liga (LL) campaign. What the world didn't know was how bad the humiliation would be. And while it seems like the perfect 'cruise' to blame Messi for disappearing in the game and even compare him to Ronaldo in those kinds of moments, Messi is not in any way responsible for the result. Rather, the club's president's philosophy is responsible and if anyone were to leave, it should be him. Below are my 5 reasons: 1. A Dying La Masia La Masia means "The Farm House", in Spanish and it is the dubbed name for the once-famed Barcelona youth academy. The Farm House where raw talents were handpicked into the Barcelona first team produced the likes of Mikel Arteta, Luis Garcia Sanz, Cesc Fabregas, Thiago Motta, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, Carles Puyol, Pep Guardiola, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, and Lionel Messi himself. The La Masia, at some point, made one of the top 3 best football academies in the world, falling behind Santos and Ajax youth system. While Madrid, through Florentino Perez pursued the "Galacticos" (meaning 'superstars'; a philosophy that only expensive world-class footballers will only be signed to Real Madrid) era, Barcelona youth system excelled and held the world spellbound, season after season, Real Madrid's first "Galacticos" project failed and Perez was fired. Some of the world's biggest names emerged through Barcelona's youth rank, playing a compact football style known in the academy known as the tiki-taka. Johan Cruyff, as a coach would only go ahead to adopt the style, making him one of Barcelona's most successful managers. About 18 years after Messi progressed through the youth rank, Barcelona and Real Madrid have gone in opposite directions. While Madrid now look towards developing players from its youth rank, Barcelona has been neck-deep in signing talented superstars who are either oblivious to the club's style of play or unnecessarily surplus to requirement in the team. Ibrahimovic, Henry, Dembele, Griezmann, Vidal, Philippe Coutinho, Frenkie de Jong, the list is endless. With an aging and declining first team, only a few promising players have managed to get noticed in the team while Madrid keep looking inward and churning out more footballers from its youth rank. The problem? Barcelona's president believes big names are the answer. 2. Aging Messi An aging Messi isn't the problem and he isn't responsible for this. It is nature's call which must be answered. The problem here is the total reliance and dependence on one of the world's finest footballers who is being treated like aging is a sin. A club with a foresight will know better that what brought about dominance at some point isn't the Messi factor but a fluid midfield which the likes of Iniesta, Xavi and Busquet provided. Sadly, since their departure, Barcelona has invested more in defenders and forwards, leaving the midfield to God. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, Barcelona's arch-rival have found it convenient to sit out maestros such as Kroos and Modric conveniently in games. Barcelona is one of the world's biggest clubs reputable for horrible signings. 3. The Backline Factor Although Shakira's boyfriend has hinted he'll be the first to leave should the board decides to ax certain players, the stunt is all but a psychological attempt. Pique is worn out, old, and out of ideas. Already, he is incapable of stopping quick 'feety' footballers compared to his sworn subtle rival, Sergio Ramos. Those who were fixated on the match against Bayern Munich would have seen how Alba never stopped panting, mostly in the second half. Although the tradition with old age and defense is that you get better as you age. This can be seen in Ramos who is undoubtedly the world's finest defender even though the heart of his man can be desperately wicked. The four backline of the team is worn and torn, even with the introduction of new blood who are mostly MIA due to injury. Barcelona needs to look inward and focus on replacing Pique, mostly. There are old but amazing defensive midfielders who can play at the back that have been hinted of exits in certain clubs (whispers P*S*G). 4. The Fear of Messi The fear of Messi is probably what led to this disaster in the first place, from not liking a particular coach, to the fear of leaving and must be pleased mindset. The president and the club have been pawns in the hands of Messi for too long and they must wrestle themselves from his grip. Messi is the only player in the team who will hit back at any executive who dare blames the team or criticize their lackluster performances on the pitch. Messi has been known to challenge the club's hierarchy not on the field, not among the players but on Instagram when one of the top dogs blame the team for something. The resulting effect is mostly accompanied by a sack, reshuffled positions, and more importantly, an increase in his wage. When Messi took to blasting the sporting director, Eric Abidal in February, many sports houses guessed there was something at play. Of course, it was political and Messi knew it. Getting to win the presidential election at FCB means having Messi as your best friend. What many players would take sticks for, Messi would do conveniently while the corporate guys fall over themselves to either retract their statements, apologize or instantly increase Messi's paycheck. As a player, you might not necessarily need to be talented. If Messi likes you and wishes for you to remain at Barcelona, it will remain so except you wish to go on your accord. This power is dangerous. Anyways, Eric Abidal is set to be sacked after 'defending' Setien. Could it be that he is about to be axed for criticizing the team in February ![]() 5. An Aging Team Madrid has stood on this spot Barcelona is standing now and understand what will eventually become of them when their first team retire and fall out like a domino. While this is hinged on the failure of the club's executive in focusing on the Farm House, the after effect will be devastating and will paint a similar picture of Barcelona's LL final matchday that saw Osasuna beat them. Barcelona themselves have been in this position before, particularly after Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta left. Unfortunately for the club, the after effect will be felt, and for a long time should Messi exit the team. It is however not too late to start focusing on bringing in talented youngsters. Right now, Madrid is reveling in the glory of its talented youths right now that some of them (notably Kubo, Hakimi, and Odegaard) have all been loaned out while the others jostle for starting places. As a matter of fact, Zidane confused the world after the restart by changing his first 11 per game in order to unburden them. Barcelona might not have the understanding to replicate this right now but the idea of a legendary footballer who is now at the "Messi" (pun intended) of the team and a laughing stock to the world is unfair and mismanaged.

eni4real:No goal, no assist. He is not the striker, granted, but Ronaldo will not be in a team and watch his side shredded to pieces without scoring at least a goal. The worst part of it all is that he was mising from the entire game. The stats don't lie. Ronaldo vs Lyon Messi vs Bayern...

Worst part is that Barcelona paid £140m for coutinho to come on as a sub, assist and score 2, I repeat 2 against them. � What a show. Correct endorsement deal � |
Muna4real:In Nigeria, no. There is no such thing or anything close to inference on marital rape in the Nigerian constitution. A woman cannot sue her husband on grounds of rape as far as Nigeria is concerned. |
wristbangle:Messi himself is dead. Any wise club will know better than to avoid him because he was woeful outside of Barcelona, even in his prime. |
Barcelona should thankful this is a single leg game. It would have been VERY disturbing to the footballing community because the aggregate would be over 11 for Bayern Munich. |
