Just finished watching Episode 9.

Lots of twists and turns but in the end . . . . **watch it to find out** (No spoilers)

Yaaay!!!!

Bro, nice ride you've got there but still consider these factors

1. Volvo is not a popular brand in Nigeria. The likes of Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Volkswagen etc dominate the used car market and for good reasons too.

2. This particular 2010 Volvo xc90 has a V8 engine. The V8 engine is a fuel guzzler and in this era of N145/litre of fuel will be a big drain on the pocket.

*In fact, Nigerians don't buy V8 cars*. V8 cars are meant for affluent Americans, Europeans, well to do citizens and oligarchs of middle east countries where fuel is dirt cheap. They like the way it sounds, kicks into life when they press the pedal and it's all round performance.

3. Servicing, maintenance and repair will be a huge problem in most localities in Nigeria

4. Parts will be damn expensive. . .and mechanics will surely open office on a user's head.

5. The Volvo brand has a poor resale value. One might be stuck with this vehicle for life or sell at a very huge loss.

6. Lastly and most importantly, this is a harsh and very difficult time. Billionaires have become Millionaires, Millionaires have become Thousandnaires etc. In summary, men are not smiling and every where dry. Na person wey chop bellefull dey buy moto now.


In view of the above, I urge you to consider my very serious offer of N800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand Naira) only.

You're selling a "Nigerian Used" 2003 Acura MDX for 700k and you want us to believe there are no issues?

Go tell that to the marines. Endless money guzzling visits to Kazeem awaits the unfortunate buyer of this ride.

The only players worth taking forward from this team are Daniel, Ekong, Azubuike, Etebo and Imoh.

TV5 Monde Afrique, Channel 437 on DSTV is showing the match. Commentary is in French though.

Moses Ojo out, Obinna Nwobodo in.

Still 1 : 1

That Valencia player went to our bench to apologize to the player he injured that was stretched out and substituted. That's the spirit!

It's half time and it's 1-1.

1 - 1 and the NPFL team seems to be holding it's own. I'm impressed

Players like Ovie dey quick enter eye because dem dey use style do everything and one thing I've realised over the years watching & playing footy is that most Nigerian central/attacking midfielders are like that. Overskill dey worry dem and dem no dey do things the simple and easy way.

It's the football orientation & style they imbibe from childhood; too much dribbling, too much style, and frankly most adult coaches/fans cheer and applaud them when they do these things and don't reign them in. (But I call it beautiful nonsense). Watch a group of under 10s playing football anywhere and you will observe this. There is always that one player in a team who is skillful, holds on to the ball longer than necessary and dribbles too much. They never do the simple thing and give the easy pass, dem go wan dribble, show skill and "sell market". I call it the "football con".

Europeans kids don't play this way. Most lack that natural skill/dribbling ability so they play selflessly and with each other. They don't dribble and hold on to the ball unecessarily, they play directly, pass to their team mates and play the game forward. Now, this is what most Oyinbo coaches, Football commentators/analysts and spectators are used to so when a "different" player like Ovie Ejaria comes through with all his "effizy", they gush over him.

I see the game differently and I prefer "no frills", "direct" forward minded A.MFs/C.MFs who keep it simple and are always looking to pass the ball to team mates and play forward.

Ovie Ejaria is good but not special, players like him abound in the thousands all over Naija.


I digress______________________________________________


Here in Abakaliki, I train with the Police Machine team sometimes. I am a left footer and I play as a 3 (left back). In this morning's training, I played on the same side with a very skillful guy & arguably the best player (nicknamed Bebeto) who played as the 10.

At a point in the game, I overlapped with the ball along the touchline just past the halfway line, passed the ball to my 11 who comes infield to receive the ball, he opens his legs and sells a dummy to the on-rushing opposing player, the ball gets to Bebeto, I make an overlapping run forward expecting a one-time through pass from Bebeto but he holds the ball, puts the ball through the "toros" of an opposing player coming from his blind side and plays a short pass with the No 4 and kills that attacking move.

Coach was so furious, he blew against him for "over carrying", lambasted him, gave him a yellow card (attracts N500 fine) and asked him to do 20 fly bumping as punishment. We need more coaches like this in this parts to reign in the excesses of these skillful players from a very young age.

gbosaa:
I think the name is Obinna Nwobodo.

You right! Obinna Nwobodo is the name.

TheGoodJoe:

Ovie plays like a Seasoned Pro. I hope he gets a good run of games at Liverpool. I am impressed with his performance here.

Poor/wrong decision making, too many touches on the ball, showboating & unnecessary use of skills, short lateral passes and doesn't really drive forward with the ball etc etc

He's another Christian Obodo, I am not impressed! He's a typical Nigerian midfielder, the type we see at playing fields all over the country & seem to churn out in droves. I play with people like him every Saturday > >

The ONLY Nigerian midfielders (emerging) who play differently and have impressed me in a long while are Kelechi Nwakali & to some extent Alex Iwobi. Workaholic, skillful but purposeful use of skills, positive forward play, defense splitting penetrative passes, and also possess immense goal scoring ability

This guy has got nothing on Ifeanyi Nwobodo (Enugu Rangers) and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi (MFM FC).

DeCypherMe:
I refuse to read any update here!

Contradiction > >

eniolaamoda:
I swear d tin touch me

prof800:
That part pepper me for body.
But it's not their fault. Na 419ers spoil our country name.

E no do me anything, I only smiled wryly when I heard it. It wasn't exactly a smart quip, it seemed forced and was a bit off

eniolaamoda:
I am gonna pretend like no one heard harvey throw a shade at nigeria calling us scam

Lol, I did.

Jessica - "Well, I just got a very interesting phone call but I'm not smiling about it".

Harvey - "Nigerian Prince leaving you his inheritance? Because, I got news for you, its a scam".

* The firm lets out some of its office space. . . .

* Louis gets a new enemy and rival. . . .

* Mike finds a way to get Gallo off his back. . . .

* Rachel toughens up and learns to fight dirty. . .

* Harvey acquires a new multi billion dollar client for the firm that puts the firm back in business. . .

* Harvey gets a proposition on how to get Mike out of prison early, a proposition that will put Mike's personal convictions to the test in Episode 04.


That's the summary of what went down in Suits S06E03.

ColourMeAmazing:
Has anyone watched The Choice?

Its a romantic drama film adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel. Storyline is cliche and it's the same formula as most Nicholas Sparks novels/adapted movies . Some mushy love, romance, conflict and tragedy interspersed in between.

Cast has some notable faces (Tom Wilkinson - Selma, Maggie Grace - Taken, Benjamin Walker - Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter etc) and their acting performance was okay.

It's a pretty simple and straightforward plot. Movie is interesting, non riveting, non brain tasking and doesn't require one's full concentration/attention. It's the kinda movie you can watch, leave for a few minutes and still follow from where u meet it.

The only minus is that "I've seen this kinda movie a million times" feeling u get when watching it and the somewhat predictable ending.

My rating 5/10. My verdict - Watch it! Its an easy way to spend a free 1hr 30mins +

Amuneke failed yet someone wants him to be appointed Super Eagles TA?

No be only technical adviser, na ball boy. . .

Some NPFL clubs definitely need emblem redesign but not Enyimba FC.

I actually prefer Enyimba's current emblem to this

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It has become so convenient to blame NFF for all our football woes.

A team plays shoddily and concedes 4 goals at home and the blame is heaped on the NFF, hian!

Emmanuel Ammuneke, the technical crew and the lads are the culprits in this one.

With a 2 - 1 lead from the first leg, the team should have played with caution and not make it such an open game.

AIG07:
E don do.
Head down.
Well, I'm not suprised
The lads loosed focus when needed most.
NFF, players n money issues as always been our bane.
All hope dashed... Very pathetic.

The lads did not perform on the day, Simple!

Abi no be this same NFF dey when them go win for Sudan?

Blame NFF not!

Two fighting, adiye meji ja, Mike dey throw punch like 5-year old

So at the end Pearson Specter Litt was saved by a personal painting of Harvey? Bullshit!

I like how everything came together at the end. Pearson Specter Litt stays afloat (for now), Jessica comes through for Jack Soloff and makes him indebted to her in the process and staves off future attacks from him.

Mike is doing good in prison and seems to have made a real friend too.

Episode 2 was so much interesting & better than episode 1. Till next week thursday > > >

Seen Season 6 Episode 1 and it was cool. Looking forward to download episode 2 on Thursday morning.

Le Guen is a total hype job jare. He succeeded at Lyon, what else? He failed spectacularly at Celtic, Oman & Cameroon ***

Le Guen is egotistical and divisive. He has a history of falling out with management, dividing the dressing room and causing players' revolt. Also, he's known for making questionable team selections and his tactical nous has been called to question many times.

The Super Eagles needs a manager who will tweak a thing or two and steady the ship, not someone who will make radical changes.
