Africans are breaking record on things that needs the lowest brain processing while a Chinese small boy solved technical mathematics in seconds.

We are once again reminded that having a big tool for maximum satisfaction in bed does not equate to having a powerful brain.

You're an African too, go ahead and break the records in your field.

Hilda Baci is a chef, and she's thinking, innovating and breaking records in her niche.

I see

His mentality must have been beaten already for him to see Pacquiao fight as a redemption meaning he was already in a sunken place.

After the Mayweather loss, he won his next few fights leading up to the Pacquiao bout so I can't speak to his mentality.

I think his promoter was influential, and was able to line him up quickly for the Pacquiao fight, but the brutal way he lost that fight ended his boxing career and made him suicidal.

But I don't know how losing a fight and getting paid tens of millions in the process will send someone into this kind of depression

Bro, at that level it:s not all about money. Pride, legacy, and public perception join too. How does a fighter overcome the fact that the whole world watched him being ko-ed unconscious in the sport he dedicated his whole life to? At that point, depression go enter na.

Abi you think Wilder is going through this kind of depression now from his losses to Fury and Zhang. Life no serious like that oh

Have no idea if he's curreently battling depression but Wilder was never a good boxer. His boxing fundamentals, IQ and movement were poor. There were some fights he was being outboxed and losing until he landed that lucky punch. Luis Ortiz for example. It was only a matter of time before his luck ran out. The Fury loss was Wilder's unravelling but ultimately I think it was the Joseph Parker loss that crushed his spirit Anyways, Francis Ngannou has called him out and challenged him to a boxing bout. I think that fight is sellable, aka Battle of the Heavy Hitters; Wilder vs Ngannou. It'd be a good one if the Saudi Prince can put up the money to bankroll the fight.

R.I.P Ricky Hatton

Money is not everything

My brother-in-law swore after the Mayweather fight that Ricky has started having depression, that he saw it in his eyes the next day. I have since wondered if just that loss sent Ricky into a spiral.

No be that fight. Na the loss to Manny Pacquiao some years later make am slide into depression.

That Pacquiao fight was suppose to be his redemption and resurgence, and I recall he recruited Floyd's father to train him for the fight but he was knocked out unconscious by Pacquiao in the early rounds.

Mayweather Snr criticized him after the fight for abandoning their game plan, and reverting to his normal direct all-action fight style.

In a later interview, he confessed the Pacquiao loss made him entertain thoughts of kpai-ing himself.

RIP Ricky Hatton.

Behold! The best and (maybe arguably) most inform African women's footballer on the planet right now.

Queen Esther "Messi" Okoronkwo

Plays so elegantly, glides like a gazelle, with close control and silky smooth skills.

Her level is above the Canadian league. She should be playing in the American league, or top 5 European leagues like England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy.

This is funny

Undisputed super middleweight championship

Terence Bud Crawford def. Saul Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 115-113)

Greatness!

Crawford wins.

I score it 8 rounds to 4 in favour of Crawford.

Waiting for the official announcement.

Round 12. Crawford

Round 11.

Clear round for Crawford. Easily his best.

Round 10. Crawford

Round 9. Crawford

Round 8. Crawford.

Round 7. Canelo.

Biased commentary in favour of Crawford.

Crawford Round 6.

Those body shots from Canelo will take a toll in the later rounds.

Round 5 could have gone either way but, I favour Crawford

Bluelines69:
Fighting Canelo must be annoying, he just walks you down

Yeah. his chin is exceptional, and he can take a punch

Round 4 - Canelo

Round 2 - Crawford
Round 3 - Canelo

Round 1 - Canelo. Took the centre of the ring, pushed crawford back and threw more.

Wait, did the pot fail?

QueenJazz:
Baba nla. I see your doings.

Well, we have no choice but to watch and hope. Me, I'm trying not too invest myself too much in it cos my heart is frail. At this stage, I'm just looking at the remaining games as prep for the AFCON and that's how I'll watch them, to see if Chelle has learnt from his mistakes.

Yes, that one too dey. Eric Chelle made the costly error of starting Dessers and Ekong. The remaining games would be good early prep for the AFCON, and to observe what the Coach has learnt from his four games in charge.

Eric Chelle played four games, won two and drew two, amassing a total of 8 points from a possible 12. 8/12 = 66.6%

Finidi played two games, drew to SA and lost to Benin Republic, obtaining only 1 point from a possible 6. 1/6 = 16.6%

Peseiro played two games. and drew both, to Lesotho and Zimbabwe delivering only 2 points. 2/6 = 33.3%

I post the above so we can properly attribute the blame for our precarious situation, and possible non-qualification for the world cup.

TheSuperNerd:
Ooohhh God! No dey use this kain example naaa!

Which kain PTSD flashback be this??!!! No be we collect at the end of this story?

Baba, you never recover from the PTSD? Sorry, no vex. I couldn't think of a better example to buttress my point

QueenJazz:
The babe dey hyperventilate, I say make I give am small ventolin make she calm down. 🤧

You do well. I also believe there is hope.

Last AFCON, Ivory Coast were all but eliminated in the group stage until the last group game,. They qualified by the skin of their teeth, and they eventually won the competition.

Football is a game of 90 minutes + injury time + until the referee blows the whistle so I will keep believing until the last round of qualifiers.

If we don't eventually qualify, man no die, man no rotten, life goes on, and we face the next task, AFCON in December.

No matter what happens, I will always support the Super Eagles, and all other Nigerian football teams. Naija na my own clubside so I'll ride with them until I'm no more.

BlueRayDick:
Ah, No oooo. I am not fact checking him o.

For example , on this one I only stated what I know and if u see his follow up post he acknowledged that he knows same too but was only stressed out buying fuel in gallon hence his anger with the NUPENG strike.

You for no waste ink. Prospa na Odogwu of one-way thinking. Hin dey always reason like ruler. For him, you must be either for Obi or PBAT. He does not appreciate that one can support Obi, and still commend PBAT for a good policy like I have done a few times, so he's been trying to stick that PBAT label on me for the longest time. So his post is in furtherance of that.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao.. I can't remember the last time you didn't factcheck semid4lyfe

Baba, no dey play support striker.

Feel free to counter and fact-check me anytime wey you feel say I no yarn correct. I no dey here to win arguements, and I don talk am before say na the plurality of opinions for this thread dey make am tick. Na open mind dey keep discussion alive, and once head lock, conversation don die be that. So I am always open to learn, unlearn and re-learn.

Love and light.

Granted we haven't been played spectacularly but SA too have been subpar.

Seems Bafana's game plan is not to lose rather than to win, and qualify.

45 more minutes to play but I hope we win.

[color=royalblue] Actually, it is Dangote that you should be blaming

How can he decide for his workers not to join the Union? Is that one not dictatorship?

I know these Unions are something else,but Dangote cannot say his workers will not be part of NUPENG. That already, is against labour laws.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
It is actually Dangote that is to blame for this issue not the Unions.

Nigerian Labour laws allows for staff of oil companies to belong to respective labour unions like PENGASSEN, NUPENG, etc. Dangote banning his staff from belonging to these labour unions is in contravention of labour laws.

The only way these unions can force his hand is to go on strike since strike is the only language Nigerian government and employers understand.

As regards ur last paragraph, that is a blatant lie; nobody is forcing Dangote to sell PMS at a dictated price. In fact, marketers who import their PMS are willing to sell below the price Dangote is selling. As at This past Saturday I bought PMS at 845 per liter at an independent marketer filling station along Lasu-Iba road, while MRS that sells Dangote PMS still sells for N860 and NNPC sells for N865.

You're both right. I belong to a union in my field, and the few benefits we enjoy today were championed by the union. Without union, workers will be sitting ducks, and employers go dey prey on them, and do dem anyhow.

Unionism serves as a check against unfair work practices and excesses of employers.

Na just the annoyance of buying fuel at #1200 vex me to drop that post.

GloriousGbola:
you want to take the crown
you want to come at the king

i am still trying to make sense out of the whole thing

because i personally have no love for tanker drivers who keep holding us all to ransom. anytime one of them is arrested , they go on strike . they are literally a law onto themselves. on the other side a dangote monopoly is not good for anyone

i have not really taken the time to take a deep dive into the matter

Egbon no nah

Who never buy fuel into jerrycan, hands in the air, no hands?
I needed fuel, and that was the only way, what you expect from me?
It is what it is.

Anybody wey wan troll me because I use my money buy fuel into jerrycan when filling stations no allow motor enter, make dem feel free. I no kuku dey live online or seek anyone's validation for here.

No be say you talk am. I hate Tanker drivers ehn. Two years ago, one nearly kpai me. I had to steer the car off the road into the bush to avoid being exed.

Can we all see how NUPENG, PENGASSAN and the Retail Fuel Outlet Owners are sabotaging the country & Nigerians?

This morning, I dropped the kids at school. On the way out, I noticed most filling stations were closed, and the few that were open did not allow vehicle entry and were only dispensing into jerrycans. Luckily, I had a 10L jerrycan in the booth so I was able to buy but at #1200/L, as opposed to the normal #870 - #900 price it's been sold here.

I asked the fuel station manager the reason, and he said their union has issues with Dangote so their strike action is to force Dangote to capitulate to their demands to join their union, and sell fuel at their dictated price.

At this point I am tired. Why unions go dey flex muscles at the expense of Nigerians? Why?

UncleHaba22:
🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆:

The Ethiopian FA has officially lodged a complaint with FIFA over Friday’s WCQ vs Egypt.

🇪🇹 The complaint cites:

◼️ Laser pointers targeting their players
◼️ Disrespect during Ethiopia’s national anthem

The case is now with FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee.

A hefty fine and playing their games behind closed doors with no spectators or playing home games in another country would put a stop to this laser thing North Africans do.

Will FIFA do the needful? I don't think so

QueenJazz:
Lol. I'm not even saying it with hopes that Nigeria will qualify. FIFA can deduct the points and we'll still flop out. But that is on the players and the coach. So I'm not even talking on the basis of hopium.

FIFA will deduct the points, I'm 1000% certain. It's only a matter of when. Historical antecedents support this as a fact.

The qualifiers have to end patapata first. But I'm telling you, those points will be deducted.

100% agree with this

South Africa is sailing and scoring goals for fun.

SA - 16 points with +8 GD.
Nigeria - 10 points with +2 GD.

Remove 3 points and 3 goals and SA will still be on 13 points with +5GD.

There's no other option. We have to beat SA handsomely on Tuesday, win our remaining matches and also hope SA looses somewhere down the road.

Its an uphill task but its possible, and I choose to believe till the end.

Na Peseiro and Finidi put us for this gbege.
