Alright, let’s lock it in — here’s my bold top 3 prediction for the 2025/2026 Premier League season:

🏆 1st – Manchester City

With their squad depth, Pep’s tactical wizardry, and Erling Haaland probably scoring goals in his sleep, City remains the team to beat. Even if they start slow, they always finish strong.

🥈 2nd – Arsenal

Mikel Arteta's team has been growing in confidence and quality. With more maturity, smart summer signings, and better squad rotation, they’ll push City all the way this time.

🥉 3rd – Manchester United

Yes — Rúben Amorim is shaking things up. With a restructured midfield, a solid defense, and if their forwards find rhythm, United could surprise everyone and return to the top three.

Honourable Mentions:

Liverpool might struggle with defensive consistency.

Chelsea is still unpredictable.

Spurs could punch above their weight, but depth remains a question mark.

Let’s circle back in May 2026 and see how prophetic this was! Who are your top three?
Rúben Amorim is shaking things up. With a restructured midfield, a solid defense, and if their forwards find rhythm, United could surprise everyone and return to the top three..... Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

So, it's only Amorim that did shake up and restructuring... Lol! Relegation go touch them this season. If you put Man U in top 3 where will you place Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and even Tottenham that showed ManU shege. This list is hilarious

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Firms Swimming In Cash As Operating Cash Flows Surge To All-Time Highs by smtx(m): 11:10am On Aug 15, 2025
ivandragon:
Very funny.

Increases are mainly as a result of increase in prices of goods and services rather than an increase in value or purchasing power.

In 2014, a FMGC sold 1m units of a product at N100 p/u leading to a recorded revenue of N100m within a 12 month period.

Fast forward to 2024. That same FMGC sold 500k units of the same product at N500 p/u leading to a revenue of N250m within a 12 month period.

On paper, it looks fantastic, about 110% increase in revenue. But in reality, there is a drop in sales, a 50% drop in sales. It means people are buying less of that product.

The first issue is that it shows a severe drop in purchasing power of people.

Second, there is the issue of underutilisation of resources across board, man and machine. If the company produces less, then it most likely needs less workers, so people are losing jobs. Equipment become underutilised etc.

Third, the cost of production increases significantly, causing the firm to increase price of its products even more.

Fourth, while a Nigerian firm might feel it is making good money, foreign investors would see otherwise. For example, that N100m in 2014 was about $470,000. That N250m in 2024 was about $150,000. For a foreign investor, that is an over 60% loss, and the reason why some foreign firms are closing shop despite making profits in Naira terms.

Bat and his crew continue to use Deception to run government, but the masses are feeling the reality of his failures.
Great analysis. Thank you for breaking it down correctly.

Does someone have the link to the Pastor Biodun's full sermon in relation to Babalola? I don't trust all these cut and join videos.

I'm not a follower of Pastor Biodun and I do not approve of many aspects of his style that he has shown to the world, but I will not rush to form an opinion until I have full information to avoid the bandwagon effect.

Bandwagon effect, lol! will you blame Nigerians? His he the only pastor? Always in the news for very insane controversies. It isn't about forming opinion but the character of the pastor in question. His apology is OK for now.

Not everyone had a real encounter with Christ as a natural ignorant child. Some like Paul encountered Christ even after series of persecution of Christ followers

You reflect a view denying God's existence is a sign of foolishness and moral depravity. It suggests that your denial of God's only son you engage in evil actions and lack true wisdom. Psalm 14:1

bro, you are capping

do you know that jesus deing on the cross and his blood used to watch your sins is ritualistic and symbolic... it is similar to tattoos, they are ritualistic and symbolistic just like Jesus blood.
Ritualistic and symbolic unto the old practice of shedding of blood of lambs according to the old testament for the remmison of sin. Tattoos isn't similiar, it's patterned towards pegan rituals for protection, fertility, identity, status and also reincarnation etc that's why you have cultist during initiation a mark on your body is cut with a symbol as an identity. As a Christian you invite what you don't know when you begin to conform to the world's standars, you ought to influence the world not the other way round. However, all these been said The Bible speaks about people like you who prefer to hear messages that align with their desires rather than true doctrine. 2Tim4:3.You wish your own message despite Old testament warnings, God's gift of Common sense and the New testament. Why will a sensible person choose to disfigure what God made perfect?

Pornography and masturbation are moral issues.

There are biblical laws and also moral laws.

And there is no moral laws that say that tattoo is bad.

Moral laws in most times are culturally and also customs

In many culture and customs including Nigeria, tattoos are allowed.

It is only in the old testament, the bible wrote against tattoos to the children of Israel who were not christians.
And you know the history behind tattoo - it is ritualistic, yes cultural but that ritualistic aspect cannot be ruled out. And as a Christian you are waiting for an explicit directive from the new testament to tell you before you adhere - you will wait forever. That's why I mentioned God's gift of common sense. Didn't the Bible warn us about being in conformity with the things of the world. In that we start adapting the world behavior, beliefs, trends or values to align with the prevailing norms and trends of society. Soon, you will tell me it's the old testament that talked about homosexuality, since it wasn't mentioned in the new testament morally there isn't anything wrong with being a gay!

Lol...you are not the right person for this discussion.

And yes, a Christian can have a tattoo.
Let's talk leave all the Un necessary talks. We agree the Bible, old and new cannot be subbed, they must be in sync. Jesus said he didn't come to abolish the old laws, So, if the Bible does not speak clearly on certain issue, like smoking, pornography, masturbation etc how can we know if it is good or bad? It is therefore worthy to note , that God has given us common sense, and it brings you and I to use our head. Our first question because of this argument is why would a Christian want a tatoo?

You dont know your bible.who is talking about jesus and the adulttous woman

Let’s stay on the topic, we were discussing tattoos. The only explicit ban is in the Old Testament (e.g., Leviticus 19:28). The New Testament gives no command about tattoos.

You said I’m “leaving out” the Old Testament. But if you believe every Old Testament law still binds Christians, then be consistent: do you also follow the penalties like stoning, the strict purity and dietary codes, and the Old Testament rules about women and social roles? If not, you’re already making distinctions.

Christians believe Jesus fulfilled the law and introduced a new covenant. The New Testament restates the moral core but not the ceremonial and civil codes. So pulling one Old Testament verse about tattoos while ignoring many others is selective.

Bottom line: either apply the entire Old Testament code or acknowledge the New Testament framework. Singling out tattoos while discarding the rest is inconsistent and that’s the issue I’m calling out.
Stop this long text, let's take it one by one. Is Tattoo good for a Christian?

there is no where in the new testament where body tatoo is a sin
So you live your life based only on the New Testament? Why not throw away the old then? Anytime people want to choose some lifestyle and still want be Christians they choose the parts of the Bible that suites their narratives.

Influential randy Nigerian men are on her case. Majority of them want to taste those fresh oranges they saw when her top was ripped off. That's why every single ban has been lifted and the court discharged and acquitted her.

Not too long ago someone promised her 500k. I see more donations coming, very soon she'll open a large boutique, buy a duplex in banana Island and drive a 100m SUV.

Congratulations to her anyways, she don blow.

Reference:
I am happy that Nigerians are beginning to see this fact. That out of all the poor quality leaders Jonathan stood head and shoulders above them all. I said it on this forum about ten years ago and for two reasons.

One as relating to restructuring (which I have said for decades is the only way out of terminal decline of Nigeria as a state). He was the only one with half the courage to establish a confab to discuss the how, where and why, the bolts and nuts of a functional nation.

Two, as relating to his willingness to respect the wishes of the people to have another leadership through the ballot and in doing so acknowledged that he did not meet with their expectations, i.e he admitted he failed in making their lives better.

If these two ideals had been repeated after him over the course of the past decade. If those two ideals can be replicated today and in the future, this country will stand a chance of reversing it's fortunes and perhaps become great one day.

It is over to the people to determine their future by voting according to their present experiences only and the government of the day to honourably accept their decisions.

Recaptured prison escapees are usually used to reconstruct the documentaries of how they escaped.
That's normal, but they never absolve them into the FBI or give them 'Ambassador' of FBI. Why are you using plea deals they use for criminals to equate Kwam1's unruly behavior. Why do we always give excuses or use misleading examples to buttress our points? What the FG did is absurd. Even the criminals you are talking about have served some term. For FG Kwam1 did no wrong.

Its every where
Biden's son was pardoned after conviction, even Clinton's brother served 14 months in a Federal prison before being pardoned. Kwam1 is different, he didn't see the four walls of the Court not to talk of prison sef instead he his given a 'Federal appointment' in the very same sector where he was found culpable. Nigeria is absolutely the real definition of what Trump called it. Chai!
