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Exactly why I said it's outdated and uneventful lecturers that I blame.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

Kekerenke hmm hmm - this has nothing to do with government. There are poorer countries by miles.

Don't worry my pastor, na champions league you saw Jare

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.

elder1002:
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

Well done Man City. Excellent outcome, Chelsea trophyless

Lovelink1991:
You cannot shoot an unarmed person and you can only shoot if you are tired of your job

In which country?

HacheNoire:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nigerians

nairalanda1:
The guy says that Obasanjo paid off our debt, as if he somehow paid off all the debt we had at the time like that, and he didn't mention the circumstances under which Obasanjo paid off the debt

That is what I was correcting.

True. Calling what happened under OBJ paying off of debt is clear misrepresentation of facts. Nigeria did not pay off the debts

Osgilliat:
Baba should go sit down. If he had solved half of Nigeria during his time Tinubu won’t have to borrow money for infrastructure.
Baba didn’t even have any legacy project despite the fact that he had it easy during his regime yet nothing so show for it.

He is only fooling the kids who really don't know much about him. This is a compliment in my opinion

OBJ and his keg of palmwine

Fake news. Where is Upper Iweka road and Ozumbulu junction on the list?

Emergency fund is for spending during an emergency. Many people are in financial emergency so the fund balance is zero.

What's their divorce rate?

AreaFada2:
Very funny people. The stress, cost of living and all that alone dey kill their love life. Not to mention high divorce rate.

All na format.

9ja cannot surface because both men and women, their body too hot. To satisfy them na long thing.
Same reason Uganda, Kenyan and Ghana can never feature here.

In SA, na the oyinbo dem survey there.

Bizmind95:
Great Britain and the US of A of all places even made the list...intresting!!!

Fun research: What's the recent refined divorce rate in Great Britain and the USA per 1,000 women?

WhiteIverson:
The United States ranks very high in divorces
I doubt the authenticity of this report

A large chunk of the ones that are not satisfied in the USA and UK have no reason to pretend while adopting "what will people say" and "e go better" philosophy with suffering and smiling. Out there, you are happy means you are happy, and the opposite is exactly what it is.

See as una dey ask for Nigeria. This is a sign that most of us have mastered the art of ignoring reality

emekad2:
Just to add my 2 cents.
Robotics is bigger than AI but no one hypes it.
IoT devices are a bigger subset than AI. Acurast is taking advantage of it slowly. That's where C and C++ reign. If you want jobs you can do yourself in your spare time with peace if mind, look for embedded systems programming. Web Dev won't give you time for family and all that stuff.
At least that is why I believe C and C++ are regaining interest.

Isn't it a bit misleading to say IoT or Robotics are "bigger" than AI as if they are separate silos?
Modern robotics and IoT are increasingly becoming the "body" for AI's "brain." They are converging rather than competing.

On peace of mind, another angle to this is if you ship a bug in Web Dev, you push a fix in five minutes. If you ship a bug in the firmware of 50,000 smart toasters, you might have a multi-million dollar recall on your hands .

Thank you. People should leverage the existing laws to deal with some of these uncouth idiots and cowards who always throw caution to the winds online. Social media has dangerously amplified the outcome of their poor upbringing.

Angelfrost:
Private matters should stay PRIVATE...!

Social media has made many of you people cross too many lines carelessly.

This is why I no dey pity anybody once Police and handcuffs show... I used to make a case for these online idi10ts whenever they get hauled off to jail, but not anymore.

Many of una for this internet space never wan get sense.
