The innocent will always suffer the actions of foolish people.

The mob killed the security guard. Why didn't they kill the person that ordered the shot?


If you want to celebrate, use fireworks.

The bigger and better question is why couldn't the king stop the mob from killing the unfortunate shooter?

Dybala11:
. The current Aribo is not close to Iwobi at all.

I think Iwobi is a better player right now but from what Aribo played against Bissau, the gap is not that wide. But my point really is about the similarities in their style of play. Peseiro always likes to play two rugged men and one technical midfielder and in this squad that technical role is played by both Iwobi and Aribo.

Esinwaju:
It's so irritating that a name so popular could be brazenly spelt wrongly and there are many Nigerians who do this thing. You should go to Facebook and Twitter. O-S-I-M-H-E-N is what adults are struggling to get right.

I've come to accept that people are doing this deliberately.

Adrian9:
He plays like the Jose Mourinho his namesake. Is Mourinho telling him anything? That's the tactics I'm seeing

Yes. We play classic defensive, counter-attacking football.

Forumobserver12:
You are good football observer, these guys you mentioned in particular are full of passion my only concern is the Coaching crew...

The future of our national team is bright..

I think this coach is actually better than most of us have been thinking. The team plays tactically and that's down to good coaching to a large extent.

This team is full of players with passion.

Aina, Bassey, Onyeka, Lookman, Troost, all of them.

COOL10:
LMFAO, you talk about objectivity? You, of all people? Get out of here mehn🤣🤣. You know nothing about being objective.



You quoted me first, I didn't quote you 🤷🏾‍♂️. Then you went ahead to bring up stats from Opta thinking it would put Iwobi in a bad light, but it didn't. It clearly stated that Iwobi is our most creative midfielder, which is very impressive considering how deep he's been playing.



Then you went ahead to LIE that Aina has created more chances than Iwobi, but I clearly caught you lying. How can you tell lies about the very same stats you posted yourself. The stats are there for all to see.



See, it's one thing to hate someone for whatever reason you have, but it's another thing to rudely disqualify their efforts and clearly tell lies against them, just to prove your point.


I already gave up on this conversation when you said that Iwobi's pass to Zaidu was ordinary. If e easy, go try am. Go try am under those circumstances.


You clearly argue just for the sake of arguing and not to exchange ideas. I only argue with objective people, and not people who tell lies to prove their point.


This is my last reply to you. You're free to quote me again and say whatever you want, but be rest assured that I'm definitely not going to read it. It's a waste of my time. Happy Sunday, brother.

Where did I say Iwobi is not our most creative midfielder you liar? Where did i also post anything from Opta?? Are you even okay in the head?

From simple football you've taken it to silly talk of hate for "whatever reason" with a bunch of rubbish talk. Something is definitely wrong with you.

Shame on you.


Happy Sunday.

COOL10:
Dude, what are you saying? Did you even read the source you cited? How can you say Aina is more creative than Iwobi when as at the time you made that post, he literally had the same number of created chances as Iwobi? They've clearly created the same number of chances, yet you claim Aina is better. That's terrible from you.

You say Iwobi is the attacking midfielder of the team, but has he been playing as an attacking midfielder? HELL NO. There's no AM in Peseiro's 3-4-3/5-4-1 formation. What you have is a DM(Onyeka) and a deep lying CM which Iwobi has been doing so well at, despite it not being his natural position for the Super Eagles.

There's no AM in that formation and that's exactly why Osimhen needs to constantly drop to that position to cover up that space.

You said there was nothing special about Iwobi's pass to Zaidu. Now I know you're just being hateful and not objective. If a Messi or a De Bruyne gave that pass, the whole world would praise them, but because it's Iwobi who gave the pass, you call it simple. Clap for yourself, you hear. Your bias is now obvious.

Nawa for una.

Listen and stop all this beating around the bush. You said Iwobi is our most creative player. Is he or is he not? He is not. Period. He is not our first he is not our second. In fact, of his 3 chances created none has led to a goal. So how does removing him from the team take away our creativity?

The rest of your ranting makes no sense. You created a fictional "if Messi or De Bruyne" rubbish scenario to come up with an equally rubbish allegation of some stupid bias. Can't you just reason objectively??

Topman7:
I don't know why people are attacking this boy.

This boy called Iwobi has been at the heart of virtually every goal we've scored in this tournament!

That's a terrible lie.

Goal 1: Lookman cross to Osimhen

Goal 2: Osimhen wins penalty

Goal 3: Simon forces own goal

Goal 4: Osimhen wins ball

Goal 5: Iwobi plays a part in passing out to Bassey but Bassey's brilliant cross is what makes the goal.

So what are you saying??

COOL10:



I see no reason for the link you posted, because I obviously said that he has created chances for "Osimhen and Zaidu," which they both missed and not just Osimhen.



The link you posted talks about the combination of most shots and chances created. That was never my focus. I'm talking about chance creation and not a combination of both, so that link is inconsequential. Besides, it never mentioned anything about Iwobi creating just one chance. You did.



Since the CAF link you posted cited Opta as its source, I checked Opta's website and found out that Iwobi is even our most creative Midfielder.


According to Opta, prior to yesterday's match, Iwobi had created THREE chances and was only surpassed by Osimhen and Lookman who are forwards. Iwobi is the most creative Midfielder in that team, and Opta (your main source), supports my stand.



Who gave that one-on-one chance to Osimhen earlier in the tournament which he missed?
Answer: Iwobi


Who gave that one-on-one chance to Zaidu Sanusi earlier in the tournament, which he missed?
Answer: Iwobi


Who sent that superb lob into the box which ended up being an offside goal for Zaidu?
Answer: Iwobi


Who keeps on supplying multiple through balls to Osimhen, despite playing from deep?
Answer: Iwobi


He's always trying to create chances.


Let's not forget that Iwobi has been played out of position throughout this tournament. Iwobi is a CAM, but has been playing a deeper role since this tournament started, still that hasn't stopped him from creating chances.


He functions best when he plays closer to the box, especially the D area. Just look at that sweet pass he gave to Bassey who ended up assisting Lookman for our second goal yesterday. That's what he can do. That's his best position.


Remove Iwobi from that team and watch Osimhen get frustrated due to a lack of service.



Here's the Opta stats:

Oga what are you saying? Why are you changing your mouth?

COOL10:
Iwobi is very creative. Most of Nigeria's goal scoring chances in this tournament have been created by Iwobi. Go and verify. Most of the chances that Osimhen and Zaidu have missed were created by Iwobi. The coach has been playing him too deep, but that hasn't prevented him from creating chances.

You clearly said most of our chances have come from him not that he is our most creative midfielder. And I clearly said Osimhen, Lookman and Aina are more creative players overall - it doesn't make sense to compare Iwobi with our other midfielders when you clearly know that Iwobi is the attacking midfielder and we usually either play Yusuf or Bassey along with Onyeka who are all defensive. If you said Iwobi is the most creative of those three, fine. But that's not saying much either.

You keep going on about through passes to Zaidu and Osimhen. Both of these came in the same game and there was nothing creative about the though pass to Zaidu. It was a simple pass based on the situation of the play at that moment. Other than that he's not created anything for Osimhen.

To allege, as you have, that Iwobi is the most creative in the team and without him, chances would dry up is rubbish. Osimhen has gotten the majority of his chances from Lookman and Aina.

That doesn't mean Iwobi is not good. Never said that but he's simply nowhere near the creative force you think him to be. We were fine without him and created tons of chances against Guinea Bissau didn't we?

COOL10:

Lol nope. Aina, Bassey and Chukwueze created most of Osimhen's chances. Iwobi created just one. Lookman is more creative and ironically, the most creative is Osimhen himself.

See the last paragraph here:

Victor Osimhen had 13 shots and created four chances in the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations group stage, the most shots and chances created combined of any Nigeria player. Indeed, it’s the most by a Nigeria player in an AFCON group stage that Opta has on record since 2010.

COOL10:
Nigerians don't know the importance of Iwobi. Remove him from that team and our creativity as a team dies.

Iwobi is not that creative but he is very good at ball retention. Aribo is a close substitute to deliver what Iwobi brings to the game.

You wey like old men nobody complain give you.
Ugly thing.

Damn bro. Be calming down

Angelfrost:
Cameroon attack is just clueless and laughable... Song should better do something.

No wonder Senegal cruised past them.

God bless you Osimhen for not being selfish.

Lovely goal... That was great of Osimhen to stay on his feet, and not try to score.

Ademola Lookman! You are awesome to watch.


Where are the haters?!!

oga na you be this?

Some things don't seem right with the alleged crime.

And what are they?

mdgreen:
From the day this guy prophesy was flying all over the internet about 2023 election I know they will come for him. How can a rape case turn to live imprisonment, while some pst and others of the same allegation has been swept under the carpet. Purely human inhuman against human.

What is the penalty for rape under Lagos state law?

aariwa:
Nobody heard about the case until he correctly predicted the outcome of the 2023 elections and everything he predicted happened exactly the way he predicted and he even went ahead to predict the colors of cloths and reactions of what will happen 4 months before it happened with scary exactitude but he said on the last part of his dream he saw tinubu arrested by soldiers in a coup detat at a military parade before international dignitaries …then tinubu was like I no go close my eyes and allow this one happen…let’s see how it will happen if you are locked out forever. He moved against the pastor with our everyone knows polluted judiciary, same way he used the polluted judiciary against his opponents to defend the massively rigged and useless last 2023 elections

Look at you. A case that was published here on Nairaland many years ago and I personally commented on it.

So explain now, how does he being in prison stop his prophecy from coming true?

Bebigiby1:
Today, social media was abuzz with gossip and rumors of Oseloka Obi, the son of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi. He come under criticism over his alleged sexual orientation after featuring in the UK Gay times publication. Oseloka, who is a British-Nigerian actor, was seen on the front page of the magazine defending the queer community. Many Nigerians started sharing photos on social media showing Osaloka with another man lurking into each other suggesting that he is gay. It will be unfair and irresponsible to conclude based on gossips sponsored by political actors. In my opinion let us wait to hear from the accused before jumping in to conclusion. Oseloka maybe apologetic to the gay right movement but that does not mean that we should conclude he is gay. In Europe and west, there are straight men who are not gays but champion human rights for gays and LGBTQ. Peter Obi been an Igbo man and two term governor knows this is a sensitive issue and he must not let this slide…. he must come clean with Nigerians regarding the ultimate question about his son which is “Is Oseloka Gay Or Not?”. Just as he criticizes government policies on Twitter there is need to do same on this pertinent issue. Homosexuality and Lesbianism is an abomination and not part of our culture. It will indeed be a shame if it is true that Oseloka is gay. I am yet to be convinced over this so If anyone has concrete evidence to prove this please feel free to share on this thread.

Regarding Tinubu’s daughter, Habibat Oyindamola Tinubu is a US-based model, singer and music video vixen. The graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United State has built a career for herself as a runaway model. She is widely known for her none apologetic stand for LGBTQ movement on social media especially on Twitter.

Habibat is an LGBTQ rights activist and identifies as “queer”.

Queer is an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people may all identify with the word queer.

After going through “her” pictures on social media I think Habibat is a transgender. I maybe wrong but there are obvious masculine features. Unlike Oseloka, there is no doubt regarding Habibat’s identity as been a “queer” and an LGBTQ activist.

In conclusion what this recent developments should tell Nigerians is that we have many irresponsible men as politicians who have no regard for our culture and values. Men who lack moral discipline to pass on African moral values to their kids. Tinubu has no business occupying the seat of president as proven by his criminal track record. His daughter been a lesbian or an LGBTQ activist only adds to the list of scandals proving his dubious character. As for Peter Obi who ran as a messiah in last election, personally I still don’t get why many Nigerians went crazy over his campaign. Obi was a PDP presidential contestant in 2019, he ran with Atiku on the same platform so I think if he was declared winner by corrupt INEC, his government policies won't be different from an Atiku presidency. If it is proven that Obi knew his son was gay and kept it hidden just to win election then he may be worse than Tinubu if given the chance to be president. As the African saying goes “The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know”.

Above all else, Nigerians should be more concerned over the rising rate of insecurity and free fall of the Naira…..

Do you think it makes sense to type all you did up there and conclude with your last line? Are you confused?

Funny things about father's like this,, is that you aren't even his favorite. He wouldn't waste any time to talk you down before anyone that cares to listen.

Same bank.

Lorddominic:
Buhari is not to be thanked in any form on dis project.... All d thanks should be channelled to MTN Nigeria for taking up Federal government responsibility.

Then, if at all any Nigerian leader should be thanked, then we can channel such thanks to President Goodluck Jonathan for initiating this tax credit scheme.

Its almost like talking to bricks. MTN did not take up any federal government responsibility. Thats as stupid as saying Julius Berger takes up federal govt responsibility when its paid to build roads.

As for the second shameful half of your post it merely confirms what i said. Some of you woukd rather die than acknowledge the good Buhari did just because he is a Fulani/Muslim man. That is to your great shame.

Straighttime:
Being constructed by Mtn, the agreement was signed during Buhari administration. Work started evev before elections.

Its a tax-credit initiative. MTN is not doing it for free. You people have been most unfair to Buhari by turning a blind eye to every good thing he did. It's shameful to continue in that way. Give credit to whom credit is due!

History of the road construction. Give credit to MTN

Credit for what? They are simply paying their taxes in kind. You should rather give credit to the government for creating such schemes.

Peter Obi is right to a large extent here. I don't know how sincere he is tho but he is not wrong except that once informed that the president is on a private visit you really dont need to know what he is going for exactly. Private is private.

BigBelleControl:
Are they referring to
Lagos Sate, Lagos City, Lagos Island or Lagos Metropolis?

Lagos a state is so small that Lagos State, City and Metropolis are essentially the same or will soon be.

erniok:
Hope you know firstly, Uber and co are taxis and secondly, Nigerian police can be funny. Case study was when the banned commercial motorcycles in Lagos, they started arresting even power bikes on the ground that they were bikes. It had to take the government specifically stating the bikes meant before they stopped.

Uber and co are not taxi services. In fact, their business model is designed to take them away from the purview of taxi service regulators and that is a key pillar of their USP and operational strategies. In essence, ride-hailing apps operate as an industry-level competitor to taxi services.

That aside, even if you call them taxis, it is obvious that since ride-hailing services pick you from your location in private vehicles, no police officer can legally challenge them. How do you even start to identify who is a bolt driver and who is a regular private driver? A private driver can pick whoever he or she wants. What you won't be allowed to do is load from the parks or terminals.

This is substantially different from the police's failure to distinguish between motorcycles and power bikes, which as you've mentioned was corrected by the relevant authorities anyway.

erniok:
Exactly my thought. When this is implemented, watch how police will clamp them down.

Has nothing to do with them. This is about taxis that load from parks and pick passengers along the road they are simply saying taxis will be painted and identified by the parks they operate from. So if you as an individual decide to enter unmarked cars you do so at your own risk.

Useless Judgement,

However, I am sure EFCC sent lazy lawyers to do this case, else the first order wouldn't have been given in the first place showing that the purchase is a proceed of Crime

The issue has nothing to do with it being a proceed of crime. Te property has already been forfeited by the original owner - now what is happening is that the tenant is simply saying okay, you want to sell this house that my landlord forfeited - let me buy it since I live here already. Simple.

Armaggedon:
With this, tinubu may have set the ball rolling for the collapse of Lagos. A new president, Northerner or not, fueled by the feeling of mistrust for southwesterners, will not only reverse the relocations but mandate all commercial banks to locate their headquarters in the FCT for ease of administration. Other chain of businesses in the financial and other sectors will naturally follow suit.

Bigoted and rigid mind can never navigate a complex and diverse setting. Never!

Lol. The way you people reason astounds me. If the cbn says move all your head offices to Abuja, the only thing that will happen is that the banks will start getting ceremonial head offices. The real work will still be done in Lagos because business follows population.

Its not possible in any case as no law empowers the CBN to do so.

Does nairaland not have females anymore? It would have been really nice to hear from them - not from the 100s of males that I'm seeing above.

Look at all the monikers viewing this thread meant for ladies - 98% male.

Seun nairaland has a big problem that you better address.
