This lady situation is so unfortunate
No anti venom in hospitals, I doubt there are any anti venom anywhere.
My sister was a victim of snakebite too it was an ancient man that saved her.
He sucked out the blood and tore the whole of her affected leg, he was also able to find and kill the snake.
That was when I took snake documentaries seriously there's no species of snake I can't differentiate just for my safety.

Very unfortunate because they could have gone into the village and a lot of people would have provided traditional alternatives.

Urbanisation has made us too unsafe

izzou:
Onitsha Main Market opened on Monday for the first time in 5 years.

Otito dili Jesu!

So MNK wasn't the cause afterall

iamoyindamola:
Saka injured in warm up
Replaced by headless madueke
Norgaard will replace him on bench

Havertz in, Saka out

Thank God for depth this season

Roland17:
Long overdue. I need to start seeing Rice in dangerous scoring zones. Hopefully, Zubi can hold his own a little bit so Rice can get back to being in those zones.

Very true.

I want pure attacking football

Saka injured during warm up. Noni Madueke takes his place in the starting line up

Today's line up. Odegaard benched

mine3112:
Please are we facing bayern in the last 16? Koye mi ni o.

The only time we can meet again is finals

mostob:
Omo.. Road long

There is a high probability of facing only English sides from quarter finals till the finals

WizardOfNG:
There is no way you can keep a State clean when it is burdened unfairly by humongous inward migration, month on month and year on year, from other States of Nigeria.

Lagos cannot work magic against physical challenges and Nigerians tend not to never see this because most view themselves blameless while pointing the finger at leaders over everything.

There is no magic that can be worked to counter massive influx of people, in a short period of time, into a geographical space that cannot physically handle that near overnight population explosion.

It is not possible and it is Nigerians, because they are unreasonable and irresponsible plus largely ignorant, who believe the entire population of several states of Nigeria can be combined and squeezed into the smallest State in Nigeria with no serious negative consequences for town planning and urban management.

No need for redundant back and forth. Nairalander should simply get professional input, we all have to respect, by showning this post to urban, town and regional planning professionals plus experts in specialized fields like civil engineering, public health, and environmental science.

You excuse is a lazy man's excuse. Does Lagos attract more people than New York or London?

ElSudani:
Stop complaining, get out of your car and start to sweep, you will be surprised at how many people will join you.
It is called leadership by example.

You could as well crown him the king of Lagos so that he will lead by example because it's obvious Lagos lacks leadership

germaphobe:
teams have seen that low blocks frustrates Arsenal, so they're keeping to that. It is left for the coach to find a suitable way of breaking them and creating chances, we can't be blamed for how other teams approach us, but we can be blamed for how we respond to it.

One solution is to attack through the middle and it seems Arteta found a solution last night using Havertz.

With his ability to play with back to goal, Havertz can occupy the space between the defense and midfield just behind someone like Gyokeres.

This will eliminate one midfielder as we do not need men there given the low block.

It will also reduce delays during transition getting the ball across the midfield to attackers.

The problem is that one of our midfielders will be sacrificed.

germaphobe:
we always forget that epl has changed so much. No team allows you that space to play that kind of 2023 ball. Especially against us. You will watch other matches and see how teams are willing to risk and play ball, but once they meet us, they are comfortable sitting back and frustrating our free flow. But like you said, it is left for the manager to change that. But one thing is certain, we can never be as free as 3 seasons ago when the league wasn't more physical

You're right. Plus many teams are now relying on low block defending to nullify Arsenal.

This makes the burden or load required to overcome to score a goal to increase. Then after exerting many energy doing that, defending it becomes another challenge

izzou:
Did you hear the statement his lawyer made yesterday?

Yes or No?

I mean Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer

He said sit at home cannot be stopped through executive order.

What else?

Can executive order stop civil action? Unless we are living in a dictatorship

Shine your eyes.

NK did not institute sut at home neither is he enforcing it. Unless you want to continue in self denial and lies

izzou:
You didn't hear his lawyer speak yesterday?

Abi make we just pretend like say you no see am

So MNK is enforcing the sit at home?

You're just being blinded by sentiments

There are many SE states or cities moving freely on Mondays and some people especially private business men chose to sit at home.

raumdeuter:
Tinubu is fit enough to be president of Nigeria.

Arsenal will definitely win the PL and CL titles this season

😂

It's obvious now that Nnamdi Kanu is not responsible for the Monday sit at home in the SE.

Eyes don clear

iamoyindamola:
But you also left zubi and talk about zinchenko
I talked about his tactics because it's not flexible and sustainable making it obvious the only department it favour is defence no wonder our midfield and attack are completely write off

Not flexible tactics is topping the league with 4 points and top the CL with 7 games win 7

You dey ment 🤣

iamoyindamola:
After una MCM turn him to scrap, is odegaard not a scrap too ATM?
The whole team apart from gabu and raya are becoming scrap na

Scrap dey top PL and CL tables

Shame no catch you?

Jamiuokolaa:
Bruno is the one that was restricted by Amorim's strait jacket tactics. He was literally playing as a CM saddled with defensive duties.

Despite all these, he remains head and shoulders above Odegard

Show me stats

iamoyindamola:
The 23 season

Zinchenko was far more vertical with his passing.

Now we struggle to play a single forward ball. He was a big reason the team clicked in 2022/23, but instead of valuing that, we focused only on his defensive flaws.

Arteta needs to change the system pic.twitter.com/nl4KKsgsiG https://t.co/6CfXPntsEC

— Arsenal X-tra (@Ar_senalXtra_) January 26, 2026

Zinchenko played huge part but his crime is always taking risk passes and forward play same reason MLS is not good again or Nwaneri is not ready
If you can't defend you become the enemy of the manager

Mostob is this you? Since when did Sodiq start living Zinchenko and inverted full backs?

Jamiuokolaa:
This is like comparing James Obiorah to Zinedine Zidane.

ODEguard cant touch Bruno's boots, let alone lace them

Despite being restricted, Odegaard has created more chances, more dribbles, more through balls than Fernandez.

Make we no dey deceive ourselves

Ihebu4chelsea:
Keep playing 1960's corner kicks and expect rival fans to cheer your team, Even stoke city with Delap never tried such! Check how teams that play sweet football like Barcelona, Psg, man city plays their own kick's and compare!!

Stop drinking acetaminophen on our headaches.

Perhaps if you had taken your corner routines seriously you would be top of the league and CL tables and taken a win to your Carabao cup semi finals without fear of being knocked out again through corner kicks.

iamoyindamola:
Add OG % too
To make it 100

Our opponents can keep scoring themselves as long as it gives me the title.

If OG make us top of the league then it's stupid to discard it

BlueRayDick:
In other words we should play a corner kick tactic that satisfies your viewing plwasure as a Chelsea fan before you will stop having issues with our corner kick goals? 🤡🤡🤡

No. If the opponent gives us corner, we have corner kick we should not attempt to score through it.

Ndi mgbu

Ellexy:
BlueRayDick you guys are 17th on the table when it comes to open play goals. That says a lot.

We are 4th on percentage of goals. Who are the top three?

BlueRayDick:
This post of yours is not based on fact, but solely based on fallacy that has been pushed by the media against arsenal this season.

1. As of 16th January 2026, when Sky sports did an analysis of goals set piece goals scored in the EPL thus far, Arsenal had only scored 14 set piece goals out of total 40 goals scored in the EPL. Man Utd followed closely with 13 set piece goals out of 36 goals in the EPL. If you look through the attached graph you will see other teams with the respective number of set piece goals they've scored in the EPL as at 16th January 2026 when the data was compiled.

How do you arrive at the conclusion that Arteta set up arsenal to heavily rely on set-piece goals when data available didn't show a gulf between arsenal and other teams as far as set piece goals is concerned.

2. If your personal opinion about set-piece goals not being sustainable is to be believed, then we can all agree that the other teams like Man utd, Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa will also witness sharp decline in their goal returns going forward abi no be so?

3. Anybody who read your post up there would think maybe 70% of Arsenal's goals this season was scored through set-piece. Data available showed that as of yesterday, we've only scored just 35% of our goals through set piece which is not even far off from what Teams like Chelsea and Man Utd that don't have media focus on them tally as well.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13493842/arsenal-and-liverpool-rank-as-best-and-worst-from-set-pieces-as-premier-league-clubs-embrace-trend-between-the-lines


Yesterday match was one of our worst, but we still had shots on target that were not set piece related. I agree we have a creativity issue that needs to be sorted out ASAP, but let's not make it seem like what Arsenal has been doing all season is score corners and park the bus afterwards.

Once again you are spot on with your facts based thinking.

I think what's attracting this attention to our set piece is that we have used it more effectively. Our set peice goals have come at the right times compared to others

Roland17:
Can we forfeit the Kairat game?

That game should be a training session where Arteta should apply change of tactics and approach especially is attacking transition.

Whatever he can do he should do. Our attack this season is too poor

mostob:
Arsenal go dey lose match, our captain go dey run up and down like duckling all in the name of pressing. Baba will adjust arm band and fix his wavy hair and gbam! Final whistle. Money go enter account at the end of the week.

Shey that wan na captain. Make dem first shave that his head before collecting the band from him. Tueh..

I don't like this rhetoric about Odegaard. After Saka he is the best player we have.

Instead direct your attack on Arteta. Odegaard is playing to instructions because of Arteta's obsession with control and ball possession.

Arteta should reduce this intention to have over control and unleash his boys.

I can't find any other AM is creative as Odegaard in the PL right now if unleashed. Not even Fernandes

iamoyindamola:
I didn't expect him to start but I guess de zerbi rested Greenwood for the important ucl game because nwaneri is not eligible till knockout stage.
It was a good showing, he played more like a RW. He must have under study Saka for long going by his moves. I hope he gets an injury free 6 months and good showing to be considered for the WC.
That guy we got from Chelsea is looking like a mistake all over again, 50m down the drain.

Is Havertz injured again?

mostob:
Sharp

This guy may come back looking like a prime Iniesta.

I love this loan deal.

mostob:
Hopefully Marseille won't mix them up. We need Jurien for United match o

😂

That was funny
