The accused here is Martins Chike Okeke. He is the son of Mazi Okeke. There is no confusion in this report as long as readers are not under the influence of Martins Chike's products

Simple arithmetic o, nothing to add

Arsenal gave their very best. You can't give what you don't have and it's okay to punch above your weight level once in a blue moon. Season is over, let them be.

Seyi Makinde is not in APC.

Penguin2:
Now that people have gotten wise and started rejecting APC rice, what will they share now?

Life secret:

Focus your time and energy only on what you can change. Every starting point comes with pros and cons. It is never about your situation but what you do about it.

There are many with similar starting point as Davido but they move in and out of drug rehabs or are still collecting feeding allowance at 40 and there are folks from remote villages sitting at the top today.

You have no excuse.

On MURIC man's mandate we shall stand.

MURIC lokan.

BrickandLace:
As long as there is no state police Makinde cannot be blamed squarely.

Neither Tinubu nor Makinde should be blamed squarely. It is joint responsibility but Makinde should have been more proactive. He did not prioritize the security warnings around the axis where we now have the kidnapping.

All the women that I encounter in my life always drag bills with me so I’m always the one saying no. Where are these okokomaiko Beyonces from? As in, who is the father or mother?

chatinent:
Why do y'all hate Sowore?

It's not like he's done anything worse than all your present politicians.

You guys really love your chains.

Are you surprised? They don’t want real progress so they hate him for attacking their preferred oppressor.

Wasting energy on someone's opinion won't change Nigeria no matter how angry you get - some people are very creative with words and it might be a case of much ado about nothing .

SixSeven:
You are the second person saying something like this on this topic. I don't know her to well, I know her as a movie maker but except the interviews she has given and I've watched, I don't know about her personal life or follow gossip. Are you insinuating what I'm thinking?

They know nothing, it's just typical stereotyping by hypocrites.

You never heard of urgent 2k girls and short time motels?

essentialone:
According to a recent survey, the average extra marital affair, lasts six months, and can cost about N685,000 a month, or about N4,105,000 in total. The survey broke down the expenses incurred in a typical extra marital fling, such as hotel bills (about N190,000), hang out foods and drinks (about N250,000), gifts (about N85,000), and date activities (movie tickets, about N110,000, and "others," about N60,000.)

Excellent development. This thread is about this good news, no smart diversion tactics will work here.

tonididdy:
At least we are not celebrating mediocrity~a mere certificate scroll after donkey years

Speak for yourself. As Chelsea fans we shamelessly celebrated Conference league victory over cassava farmers. Let them celebrate their progress.

He won the individual award, or you missed the headline of this thread?
He won and your likes started complaining then the evidence has been provided that you don't have to win any trophy to win individual awards. Your Kante example counted for nothing. The precedence was clearly established. Simple flow of logic

Judolisco:
so he won nothing right?

Who was running it?

Eastcoastboy:
Is it Sowore and the likes that you have mentioned that are running it?

Media is a bussiness. You can build it, but the tech Is just an aspect of it. There's the art part of Media.

Because of the absence of media knowledge that's why we have bad and uncivilized journalism littered every where.

You made good point about mass communication opportunities but you don't need a mass comm degree to build that.

Nairaland was conceptualized and developed by an IT guy with engineering background.

Sowore built Sahara Reporters but studied Geography and Planning.

Rufai Oseni studied Animal Husbandry.

There are many more

Eastcoastboy:
Exactly why I said it's outdated and uneventful lecturers that I blame.

Media studies shouldn't be unrelated. The OP is just dense.

In this era of Citizenship Journalism he's spewing trash about Mass Communication. Is he not aware that Nairaland.com is a Media platform.

Judolisco:
victory over 1st and 2nd didn't win Manchester United anything.... It's called an upset

It boosted Bruno's individual stats and won him an individual award

Judolisco:
when ngolo kante won the player of the season... He didn't win it because he has goals and assists.... Infact Costa had 22 goals that season.... Kante won it because he won d epl twice plus his defensive abilities... I ask again... What did Bruno win with all his assists? Arsenal players have been robbed

Why did Gareth Bale win it in 2012/13 and Mohammed Salah in 2017/18 when Tottenham and Liverpool won nothing? There are many more

Maybe you should go and ask those responsible for the awards but I doubt they give a sht about your opinion. They are clear it's an individual award not a trophy won by a team.

Judolisco:
baba na facts I dey talk... Best player for doing what? Being 3rd?

For his goals and assists including those in their victory over the teams that came 1st and 2nd, among other attributes.

FACT!

Judolisco:
I am not an arsenal fan... Did the whooping win them anything dis season?

No but that performance adds to Bruno's numbers as contributing fact to back up this well deserved individual award as player of the season. Shikena.

Judolisco:
Seriously dis is rubbish abeg.... At least give to one arsenal player.... Manchester United that couldn't manage 5 league wins in a roll? Played rubbish football untill Carrick came to save them... Player of the season my foot

.... but Man United whooped you at home, orchestrated by the same Bruno - this is an award honoring individual performance.

PDPdestroyer:
None for South-East again!
Let’s even agree that we are landlocked, why cant FG create artificial sea for us, so that we can also have a port and leave Lagos alone

Thank you my brother from my side. You have said exactly what many of us wanted to but we couldn't come out straight. I see no reason why we can't have deep sea port in Onitsha or Anam, the water there are deep enough.

Local politics is about structures and caucuses.

I heard he could have had way more votes but news started spreading around every coty in Oyo that Tinubu's Chief of Protocol, Victor Adeleke, and his team were physically in Ibadan with Sharafa Alli. That's the final confirmation that people needed and many switched over.

How did he manage to get 19000+ votes?

It shows how irredeemable some Nigerians are indeed.

Hmmm just randomly listed, not a ranking or league table. A real ManU fan will have Liverpool listed last most definitely. This is just yabbis post and the targets are feeling it

Lucymercy:

onyinyechi225:

WhiteIverson:
My oga I know you're an Arsenal fan
Come do giveaway 😅

Tufiakwa, I'm not an Arsenal fan o. Make una enjoy your temporary reprieve before another trophyless spell

He did well then he started crumbling. Ferguson rebuilt his team multiple times and even won with kids. He doesn't have to replace a goalkeeper or full back multiple times with fat checkbook until it's right. That approach was not allowed at Bayern Munich and Pep couldn't weave any magic.

They are both great.

The best there was and there is

4 premier league in a row

Set the bar so high that you need to be consistent to win the league cup.

Master tactician and strategist

Converts average players to play one of the beautiful football ever seen in premier league


The best manager there ever was in premier league.

Pep




*Why Pep edges Fergie in the first 10 years*

Look at it straight up: *20 trophies in 10 years vs 6*. That’s not a small gap.

*1. He won more, and he won bigger*
Pep’s haul at City from 2016-2026:

*6 Premier Leagues,
1 Champions League,
5 League Cups,
3 FA Cups,
3 Community Shields,
1 UEFA Super Cup,
1 Club World Cup*.

That’s 4 titles in a row from 2021-2024 – no English club has ever done that. 100 points, 98 points, 93 points seasons. He didn’t just win, he broke the ceiling of what winning looks like in the PL.

Fergie in his first 10 years at United 1986-1996:
*3 PLs,
1 FA Cup,
1 League Cup,
1 Cup Winners’ Cup*.

Respect to the rebuild, but the output isn’t close.

*2. He did it in a tougher league*

Pep’s City had to beat peak Klopp Liverpool, this Arsenal team, and a Chelsea side spending crazy money just to get to May with the title. Every game in the PL now is a fight. Fergie’s early dominance came before the money flooded in and before every mid-table team had a tactical coach and data team.

*3. He changed the game, not just his club*
Go to any academy or watch any PL game now and you’ll see Pep’s fingerprints. Inverted fullbacks, controlled possession, pressing traps, false nines. Managers across Europe copied him because it worked. Fergie was a master man-manager and could adapt, but he didn’t set the tactical blueprint for the next 20 years.

*4. He delivered in Europe when it mattered*

City’s first ever Champions League in 2023, plus 6 straight semis in 10 years. The UCL now is a minefield – every knockout tie is against another billion-pound squad. Fergie didn’t even get to a UCL final in his first 10 years.

*5. He kept it going without falling off*
Pep rebuilt that City squad 3 times. KDB aging, Aguero leaving, Cancelo drama, still they win. The system outlives the players. Fergie’s first 10 years was about building the culture. Once it was built, the trophies came in waves. Pep had the waves immediately.

---

Fergie built United from the ground up and that deserves respect. But if we’re talking pure results, dominance, and impact on the game in the first 10 years, *Pep’s numbers and influence are on another level*.

20 trophies. 4 in a row. Changed how football is played. That’s the argument.

Illogical. Chelsea ended up trophyless when they could have been at par with Arsenal or even have more cups than Arsenal.

Passionate888:
Chelsea threw away the match so that Manchester City will have more cups than Arsenal
