Irony1:
Oga shut up you are not a smart as you are portraying yourself. The thing here is Obi was cleared and he committed no crime and he did nothing wrong. Comparing it to what Betta Edu did is just your mischief. Stop being stupid abeg.

Peter took chicken from the pot and gave Adamu.

Paul took fish and gave Janet.

According to you, the difference is Peter was not convicted.

So, according to you, then, if EFCC now clears - or rather, refuses to investigate this Betta, that will also mean that in 10 years time, another clown like you will come online and claim she did no wrong. Right?

Lol.

Irony1:
How was it killed politically, when EFCC investigated it? Oga stop allowing your bias make you talk like someone that doesn't have sense.

I don't have time for aimless debates. If you, at your big age, don't know that the EFCC can be managed then we have nothing to talk about here. Also, show me a source that shows that the EFCC investigated and cleared him. Or you can just go on with your delusion.

Meanwhile, the question I actually asked was how the two acts, the one Betta is accused of, and the one Obi committed (which he admitted) are different. It's a very simple question. Can you explain?

If not, I am not interested in wasting time with you.

Armaggedon:
Complete misinformation and pure delusion.

Lionheart alone was sold for $3.8 million which is about 4.5 billion Naira.

Cinema movie producers pay a lot to promote and hype their movies, in addition to their actual production cost, and the large percentage going to cinema houses and tax!

Their actual profit is a small percentage of the gross.

Netflix and cinema industry in Nigeria is not viable for economic and cultural reasons. That is why foreign movies still dominate Nigeria cinema.

Over 95% of nollywood fans still watch movies through Cable Television channels and YouTube.

Someone should tell this people that delusion does not build an industry.

The stat here is "highest grossing". It means how much the movie itself earned - where is the misinformation here?

Irony1:
Which 250million bawo. Didn't PO invite EFCC to investigate and didn't Anambra state House of assembly clear him of wrong doing? Oga try and be sensible naaaaaa

That case was killed politically, same way they can easily kill this case and have easily killed others. It's as if you think you're talking to kids here. Go and sit down.

damosky12:
Classic no 10 role wasn't about pace though. It was more about trickery and ability to spot chances. If you watched the likes of Kaka, Pato, Pirlo, etc., you will get. Mikel was that kind of no 10. You couldn't dispossess him, and he could create a chance from nothing with precise passes. He lost that at Chelsea.

Bruv to start with, your examples are all wrong.

Kaka's game was indeed about pace, which was why after he lost his pace when he moved to Madrid he was never the same player. Same with Pato and Pato was not a 10 in the midfield sense either. He was more of a second striker and his game depended on pace too.

Similarly, Pirlo was not a 10. He was a deep-lying playmaker similar to Mikel, Busquets, Alonso and Carrick. And that's an interesting one actually, because Pirlo actually started his career as a striker was deemed too slow in that position before being converted into a midfielder.

You can go on Youtube and watch videos of all these players to confirm.

Kaka:

Pato:

Now, talking about Mikel and speed, notice that I didn't just say he was too slow. I said he was too big and too slow collectively, which actually just means he wasn't agile enough to play 10. There's no doubt about it. He was skilful but nowhere near the players you've mentioned. His strengths were always his passing, press resistance, and size.

People got carried away by his performances at the U-20 level forgetting that by the time you enter the men's game the physicality is a whole different level there. Mikel was never a great 10. He simply wasn't built for that.

People also forget that Mikel played 10 for Chelsea in his first season and he simply didn't show any signs of being a good fit for the role., That's when Mourinho converted him.

Ngannou will be destroyed. He got lucky cuz fury is not a great boxer but Aj If he is not timid is actually a great boxer

What do you mean fury is not a great boxer? He's the best of this generation.

ResidentSnitch:
Do you guys remember how those idiots we're hailing Buhari and calling him ' our darling daddy", especially one particular irredeemable mumu on this forum, while Buhari and his gangs were busy looting the country to stupor? The sophisticated cowards from the other side that lost Kwara also kept mute and cowardly ko-towed in line while Buhari viciously manhandled the country.

Do you guys also remember how they were saying like half-educated sheep, that Buhari will handle insecuity and corruption while handles the economy?
Big shame on all of you.

What is the difference between what this Betta did and the 250 million Peter Obi's aide was caught with??

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

My dear sorry to break your heart. A revolution willl never occur in Nigeria
Should I tell you a secrete about Nigeria
Nobody is angry about bad government in this country we all are pretending to be angry because it is not our tribesmen or religion person that is in government..
Don't be surprised when we call for a protest against this woman her tribes people will not participate. The end sars protest the north did not participate because it was seen as a fight against their own son Buhari. Even some major part of South west did not participate because it was seen as a disruption to the quest and ambition of tinubu's 2023 candidacy
We were all aware that Tinubu's administration is gonna be a repetition of Buhari's tenure because Tinubu was part of it and he was the one who brought upon us Buhari's administration
Instead they allowed tribalism and religion sentiments again
Oh so the suffering of tinubu is greater than that of Jonathan subsidy removal but yet the voices that led a protest and shut down Jonathan subsidy removal suddenly lost their voice.
Should I tell you another secret.
It will be difficult for the nation to unite against any president from the three major tribe due to tribalism

Light up my weed with anger while I stake some football games this morning

What is the difference between what this lady did and the 250 million naira cash Peter Obi's aide was caught with when he was governor?

A nation filled with hypocrites.

countryman13:
Hmmmm 2/3 days invasion of some parts of Borno state? I hear u

Is it the length of battle that counts? Okay how about his time in Congo?

countryman13:
Buhari na utility soldier (driver in charge of fuel distribution during d civil war) while Obj was a combatant

Buhari fought in other wars. He led Nigerian troops in the Nigeria - Chad war.

flexyrule:
Pirates were liquidated!

Nigerian government would have gone for negotiation and grant them amnesty afterwards.

Kudos to the Indian Navy...


That was swift!

There were no pirates onboard by the time the arrived.

Nottingham Forest losing their entire defence

mobileboy:
is this not the same Tinubu abusing, bashing and mocking Funke Akindele during election period

Then she was out of her lane. Now she is back.

robosky02:
If you ask me
I will say no Nigerian number 10 has lived up to his potential


1. Erin Esin was a star that never shines because of youthful exuberance and women.


Even the late Stephen Keshi, also had this to say about him: “We had Etim Esin and relied so much on him. The team was built around him because he had so much skill and had so much to offer. So we said this is our “Diego Maradona” in Nigeria because he can do anything with the ball. It was like he was born with the ball.”

A player that was first and only to be compared to Maradona in Africa.
Even Ghanaian Abedi Pele was scared of him

But he never made it



2. Okocha too played so much to the gallery and never took the world by storm as he should and so was Never recognize as he should.
Ask Ronaldinho ., he feels Okocha problem was going to play in small clubs when the world was waiting.
Till date Ronaldinho a Balondor winners still adores Okocha, who did not even win one CAF best


3. Mikel Obi was another that was supposed to take the world by storm

When he started he was at same level with Messi sharing the podium.
Man United and Chelsea were fighting for his signature.
At the U20 he shines like a million Stars

But one career move turned him to just making back pass throughout his playing days. Hmmm

The world should have seen a trilogy of Messi Ronaldo and Mikel

Mikel actually fulfilled his potential in terms of the position he played. He never had the traits to be a successful number 10 - for one, he was too big and slow, and in that position it's best to be small and agile.

The problem Mikel had was he was very good at a style of play that was not yet seen as important while he was playing. These days a player like Mikel is what most coaches would love to build their team around.

Even for Nigeria he excelled best by being the organizer from deep areas.

Proserpina:
This is coming from a man who wants to get rid of misogynists and bring women/ladies back to his forum.


Interesting.

The precise thought I had. This our nairaland oga is not serious.

Calitoscassius:
Why should it not come down overnight? If it didn't come down overnight why then are you celebrating today? What exactly are you celebrating?

When did i tell you that i am angry? What i hate are false news and rhetorics. Nothing good happens in Naigeria, the corrupt thieving Naigerian politicians are busy paying false news media to make fools like you think something good is happening while in real life things are actually worst. Tell me the good thing that happened in Naigeria and how it has helped YOU financially or IMPROVED your life personally

What feeling?

Lol. Prices can't go down overnight because big businesses don't buy stock from day to day. The stock of fuel that will sustain operations will have been bought weeks or months ago, thus any change in costs can only affect future prices. Isn't that common sense?

At the bolded, though, little by little you are showing the bitterness I'm talking about. What has driven you to deface the word Nigeria if not innate bitterness? You can only pretend but I know what your issue is and you know that I know.

Calitoscassius:
More rubbish, you still don't get it, the air fares hasn't come down atall! Nothing has! even with the %13 so called gains. Come join us in the real world! not hide under your bed in your small tiny dark room and commentting on Nairaland.


You have no idea obviously, What is okay?
Ofcourse, i will be fine, i am the one who can afford a 150000 naira air fares and 5500 bag of cement. What about you? And the others who cannot afford it?

So the airfare will come down overnight or what are you saying?

I'm not even sure the new naira rate will stay this low. It may even go back up and i would have thought that would have been a reasonable criticism.

But what we are addressing here is that thing that nakes you angry whenever something good happens in Nigeria.

You know the feeling i'm talking about.

Calitoscassius:
I am not surprised, more nonesense, you have not said anything reasonable, all you have are emotional, sentimental and rhetorical crap, you have no clue on what reality is about, i don't blame you co's your life is based on Nairaland false news and rhetorics. I actually envy your denial and adamant ignorance on what the real situations are in Liegeria. Fortunately for me i cannot think like you, because as i said i have first hand experience of how things went from good to worst in Liegeria. One more example. I used to fly locally from Abuja to Enugu for 50,000 naira one way, today the fare price is 3 times higher than it was. And all you have is i am bitter and lashing out at innocent Naigeria. who is innocent Naigeria? What does innocent Naigeria mean?


This guy is a morron! He still thinks he know me.

So if the naira strengthens won't airfare come down? instead of expressing positive sentiments or keeping silent, a group of you are apparently upset that the naira has gained a little. Is that not cognitive dissonance?

Anyway like I said, I genuinely understand where you're coming from. It's okay. You'll be fine!

caesymore:
Boom Dig_It!!!


I been dey see this Man as person wey fit get sense, but the comment of risking his life and adding to Osun money is an arrogant statement.

Seems this Adeleke feel he is larger than life, shey na public transport like GIG him dey use come the Abuja abi na Airpeace, Mad people everywhere.
Baba shout up your mouth there, if you no need Gov. money Osun people go know.

His aircraft almost crashed. That must be what he's talking about.

Calitoscassius:
Trending downwards?. from 200 to 895, from 2000 per bag or cement to 5500 is what you call trending downwards? Who and why did it trend upwards in the first place?


I bought 300 bags of cement 5500 last week and it is
still the same 5500 this morning, you come on here with no first hand or personal experiences to argue based on rhetorics, feelings and sentiments. You are clearly are hopeless.

I've said it all. Deal with the real issues bothering you and stop lashing out at innocent Nigeria.

Calitoscassius:
This guy has gone on long sentimental and emotional meltdown. He thinks an economy is run by feelings.


Yes, you are right i am bitter, i am bitter that the cement i used to buy for 2000 naira is now 5500 (that is if you have ever bought a bag of cement) and that is just one example. If you are not bitter about the high cost of comodities in Ligeria then as i ve said earlier you are indequate.


He even thinks he knows me.

You are bitter about high costs but angry that the main factor driving the high costs is trending downwards. Who are you fooling but yourself?

bigiyaro:
Mr serious person, check the rate 6 months ago and compare it now. Empty headed people celebrating rubbish.

So logically if it takes a step back towards the rate it was the 6 months ago your reaction is to be angry and you think you're making sense?

A country whose citizens are pained by progress. What a sad state of affairs!

Calitoscassius:
They are celebrating mediorcrity the Naira gains %13 you think that should call for celebration? The naira that went from 200 to a dollar to 895 you think people should celebrate?

The way some of you think is really inadequate.

What a silly post. First of all, where exactly was the celebration? This was an ordinary post giving information but some group of persons went into defence mode and preemptively attacked someone unknown group of other persons for supposedly celebrating it. Why are you fighting invisible enemies?

In any case, every minute change whether positive or negative has an immense impact on the man on the street. Even an agbero can understand this. But I know you know it too so let me not address you on the surface because I know what your real issue is.

You are extremely bitter against Nigeria for some perceived wrongs, so the thing that gives you relief from bitterness is when you can look at Nigeria and say look at how badly Nigeria is doing despite the wrong done to me.

Unfortunately, that will never give you the real relief you seek. The sooner you realize this, the better.

bigiyaro:
Every sane person with a conscience will be angry with 1 step forward and 10 steps backwards.

Is it the step forward that should provoke the anger or the 10 steps backwards? You are not a serious person.

VawulentMan:
They celebrate every fractional drop in rate like say dollar don reach ₦200

But should "they" be angry about it?? Are you angry about it?

Tochi3:
Propaganda..you are all been deceived..

..media Ultimatum to keep gullible minds busy from the failures of Apc & Thief'nubu..

Past Ruga dullard used this format & it worked fantastically well even more than expected..

If you really want to do your work...shhhh..keep quiet & do it

Media Sensation at it finest

There are issues that cannot escape media attebti9n, sane way we are still reading about Diezani nearly a decade after.

I dont see any reasonable reason for anyone to find this offensive.

Ecash1:
Did he really say to "Intimidate"? , If so, that is serious.

“So basically I called my people here today to intimidate them of some of the ongoing issues and also to let them know that we are returning to the All Progressives Congress to join other well-meaning Nigerians to support the government of President Bola Tinubu. And to do our own best to also make sure that Rivers people are able to be part of the development at the centre and to also carry the state along in what we are doing.”

He obviously said intimate

ikeno:
With the on going war in Ukraine dem still get time to watch porn.

Should be at a peak because most of the women have left the country.

uba1991:
the useless governor governor that was following one way nko. You guys will come online talking rubbish. Maybe this politicians are tired of the democracy, let any civilian governor try that in Niger or Gabon now let see.
I don't blame the useless governor, I blame the political Generals that we have now in the military. You will see a major General saluting an ordinary governor, that is this thief has the guts to call a soldier useless.

If those major Generals you are insulting have something to say, we will all listen to them. Why? Because they are educated enough to understand their role and function in society. When they talk, civilians can easily relate to what they have to say. People like you and this one in the video here who think wearing fatigues and carrying a gun that my taxes pay for make you above the law are the sort of elements we don't want to hear from. If you are a soldier, thank you for your service and may God keep you safe in your journeys.

Fair enough. Will be interesting to see how the rest of it plays out.

But JS only knows 442

Who be JS?

robosky02:
No doubt Nigeria has buddle of talented players

But my worry is that we don't have a good coach to blend them into a team


How can we be going to a big tournament with uncapped players

A player that has never played with other team mate will certainly not blend
Alhassan Yusuf, and goalkeeper Nwabili will be meeting the team for the first time in camp and next straight to AFCON?


Our midfield to me is still a suspect
No creative player.
Modern games are won and be lost in the midfield

If you cut them off our strikers are starved and finished

The simple solution is to use a 4 3 3 that uses compact hard-working midfielders who are also technically sound, if not creative, then let the full backs and forwards provide the creativity, like Liverpool.

The thing about this formation though, is that Boniface or Iheanacho would be better options than Osimhen as the 9.
